Hey guys. This is a list of all the videos I've made for my review series, Madisun's Arc. They do get better as I go along, honest! I primarily upload these to Blip, since that lets you preload the videos and, if you use AdBlocker, there's no adverts, but most of the videos also have YouTube mirrors for those who can't use Blip.
Anyway, enough rambling.
There was a great big list of all my videos here, but then - surprise surprise - the new site came along and turned all the YouTube links into actual videos. Around 30 of them.
I spent around 20 minutes trying to change them all over to the new link format, only for it to straight up not work. So now you just get the one link, to my Blip channel - http://blip.tv/chrismadisun
Screw this site. Screw it with a rusty freakin' chainsaw.

PHOENIX — They were the best of the best. They were the first recruited to the flank of New Mexico fires. So when a blaze roared in their backyard, there was no question that the Granite Mountain Hotshots would protect property in the retirement community.
Nineteen members perished in the menacing blaze near Yarnell, Ariz., last weekend, the greatest loss of firefighter lives since Sept. 11, 2001.
In their first home game since the tragedy, the Arizona Diamondbacks paid tribute to the fallen heroes of the Yarnell Hill fire in several ways Friday night at Chase Field.
"We were devastated. Just like the Rockies are Colorado's team, we are the Arizona Diamondbacks. The community is like family to us," Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall said.
The Diamondbacks created several initiatives to raise money, which were on display Friday, while providing heartfelt recognition. Before the game's first pitch, a 19-second moment of silence was observed and pictures of those who died were displayed on the ballpark's JumboTron. One firefighter was shown attending a Diamondbacks game. There were several signs at Chase Field honoring the men, including one that read "Forever Our Heroes. Yarnell." Yarnell is about 90 minutes northwest of Phoenix.
The Diamondbacks painted No. 19 in white in a black circle behind home plate over their customary team logo. It will remain during this homestand.
The Diamondbacks wore specially designed black jerseys with "Arizona" in red across the front. Those uniforms will be auctioned off with proceeds donated to the victims' families. A white "19" patch was stitched above the team name on the jerseys, specifically placed "above the heart," Hall said.
Following the homestand, a reverse of the patch will be worn on the right sleeve for the remainder of the season. Both teams donned navy blue Prescott Fire Department caps during batting practice and the national anthem.
"We do this as a tribute to the firefighters and the people who gave their lives in fighting this fire. You can't replace the people you have lost," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "We want to remember their spirit and try to move forward as if they are still guiding us."
Donations can be made at dbacks.com/19. The goal is to raise $500,000. More than $45,000 was made in the team's 50-50 raffle Friday.
The Rockies placed a "Yarnell 19" jersey in their dugout. The Granite Mountain Hotshots were established in 2002 and had recently fought fires out of Arizona. They were protecting homes in the former gold-mining community in the mountains between Wickenburg and Prescott when the direction of the blaze changed with horrible consequences. Not since a California wildfire killed 25 in 1933 had this many responders been lost, according to government data.
"It's important that we always honor those who put themselves in harm's way for others," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It's just so hard to think about the number of lives gone."

Rockies' Drew Pomeranz (0-1, 8.31 ERA) at Diamondbacks' Wade Miley (4-7, 4.29)
8:10 p.m. Saturday, ROOT; 850 AM
Drew Pomeranz can't remain in the big leagues pitching like he did in his season debut. All he did was provide a left-handed version of Juan Nicasio, the pitcher he replaced. Pomeranz needed 92 pitches to record 13 outs, hardly the efficiency he had in mind. He must throw more fastballs for strikes because the scouting report is out, instructing teams to exercise patience and ambush mistakes in hitters' counts. Working on a more typical rest schedule should help. Wade Miley, a top rookie last year, looks more like a seventh- inning reliever because of command issues. The Rockies will try to run up his pitch count. Miley hasn't won since June 5 and struggles against Wilin Rosario (5-for-11). Troy E. Renck, The Denver Post

Control is a relative term, it seems to the Broncos.
And through the years, when it comes to the AFC West race, the guy who usually is ripping things out of the Broncos' hands is Philip Rivers. Before Sunday's 30-23 Broncos victory, Rivers had won five of his six career starts in Denver, with the only Broncos win in that stretch having come when referee Ed Hochuli turned a fumble into an incomplete pass.
"So we knew we had to get to Philip," Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said. "We couldn't let him get into that rhythm where he just feels like he can stand back there and go. We had some moments there where he did, but for the most part, we got it done."

The Broncos consistently harassed Rivers with one of the best pieces on any football chessboard — linebacker Von Miller — at their disposal and a defensive game plan designed to push Rivers out of his comfort zone.
As a result, Rivers threw his seventh fourth-quarter interception of the season and the Broncos earned the first season sweep of the Chargers since Rivers became San Diego's starter in 2006.
What went right
Colts coach Chuck Pagano, a Boulder native, calls the guys who disrupt opposing offenses "game-wreckers."
And the Broncos just might have the ultimate game-wrecker at the moment in Miller, a player who can win match-ups with power and speed at any spot along the line of scrimmage.
With three sacks Sunday, he leads the NFL with 13 and also leads the league in tackles for a loss with 23. He forced two fumbles Sunday, both with hits on Rivers.
"Man, he's crazy right now," Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil said.
"I keep saying, I don't want to stop, I don't want him to slow down," Bailey said. "I want him to keep doing what he's doing."
Miller and Dumervil — who is tied for 10th in the league in sacks with eight, making the Broncos the only team with two players in the NFL's top 10 — have allowed defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio to consistently play coverage looks on long-yardage downs with a smaller, quicker lineup. The Broncos used a bevy of looks with five, six and even seven DBs.
After rookie Omar Bolden left the game with a concussion, it took every other defensive back the Broncos had in uniform to put the seven defensive backs into the formation.
What went wrong
After spending much of the day with a low-wattage effort on offense, the Chargers found a little room to work with a 12-play, 80-yard touchdown drive to close out the third quarter and an eight-play, 95-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.
On those two possessions, Rivers finally found his rhythm and attacked the Broncos' smaller cornerbacks — 5-foot-9 Tony Carter and 5-10 Chris Harris — with 6-5 Danario Alexander and 6-5 Malcolm Floyd. On those two drives, Rivers even did a little of what he's done more than most front-line quarterbacks in the league: go after Bailey in 1-on-1 situations.
"If you want to be a good defense, you can't allow plays like that," said Bailey, who is the team's tallest cornerback at 6 feet. "We've got some things we need to work on."
Up next:
The Chiefs are 1-9, lead the NFL in turnovers and have struggled so mightily they have turned one of the most loyal fan followings into a disgruntled mass of growing apathy.
The Broncos' first order of business will be to remember their business. They had bouts of sluggishness against the Chargers on Sunday, so it won't take a lot for the coaching staff and some of the team's more experienced hands to offer some reminders.

Broncos linebacker Von Miller leads the NFL in sacks (13) and tackles for loss (23). He is also just one of two players — along with the Dallas Cowboys' DeMarcus Ware — to have at least 10 sacks and at least four forced fumbles.

Sundance film and music festival starts at The O2
18:16 26 April 2012
The Sundance film and music festival has been brought to London for the first time, taking over The O2 from tonight until Sunday.
Sundance Film Festival originated in Sundance, Utah, in the late 1970s.
One of its founders was actor and director Robert Redford, who is still heavily involved in the festival now.
Last year he announced Sundance would be coming to London in 2012 - the first time the festival had been held outside America.
UK premieres
Sundance London will host the UK premieres of 14 films that showed at the Sundance Film Festival in America in January.
Among them will be comedy/drama Liberal Arts starring Josh Radnor, Elizabeth Olsen and Zac Efron. Radnor plays 30-something Jesse who falls for a 19-year-old college student.
Meanwhile, 2 Days in New York is a comedy starring Chris Rock and Julie Delpy.
Musical acts
As well as film, Sundance will also feature music, with BRIT Award-nominated psychedelic pop band Guillemots and Academy Award-winning musician/actor Glen Hansard performing at the opening night event, An Evening with Robert Redford and T Bone Burnett.
Also playing during the festival are Placebo, Rufus and Martha Wainwright and Tricky with Martina Topley-Bird.
Star insights
Visitors to Sundance will be able to get insights into the minds of some of the world's best actors and directors.
The Sundance London Host Committee will take part in panels and events such as table reads, and includes director Danny Boyle, and actors Dame Helen Mirren, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (from Lost), and Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd).
Movie museum
If youve not had your fill of film from Sundance, head to Covent Garden to find the new exhibition space from London Film Museum.
The first show will be Magnum on Set, a celebration of cinema hosting some of the greatest photos of the 20th century from legendary agency Magnum Photos.
Also visit the museum's main site in County Hall on the South Bank.

It's no secret that the long, grueling workouts endured by runners, cyclists, swimmers, and triathletes take a toll on the body. Endurance athletes can suffer up to 200 times the free radical damage of regular folks. But how many of them know which foods and supplements to consume to fight the damage and recover faster?
Research shows that the combinations of antioxidants in whole fruits and vegetables are more effective than isolated nutrients at neutralizing free radicals. Here are the 10 best whole foods for endurance athletes, plus the supplements that aid antioxidant performance and recovery.

Comments On Nov 03, 2014:Love this bag. I was in search of a minimalist gear bag
Additional Comments On Nov 03, 2014:I was in search of a minimalist gear bag that could fit all my gear without having a bunch of left over space. Construction is great the straps are really rugged and the footprint of the bag is reinforce which maintains it's shape without sagging due to having a loaded bag. The bag is divided 80/20 with a red interior liner. This really helps when digging in the bag for smaller items because of contrasting colors. The interior of the bag doesn't contain pockets or extra compartments. In the larger section I'm able to easily fit my boots, chest protector, neck brace and a hoodie or jacket. In the smaller section I'm able to fit my helmet, jersey, pants, under wear, socks, goggles, gloves, kidney belts, wrist braces, knee and elbow guards with a little bit of room to spare. With all that gear the bag fills out nicely and has a nice profile which loads nicely in the back of the truck. There is a handle at each end, a grab handle like on a duffel bag and a nice sturdy telescoping handle to use when wheeling the bag around.

Obama isn't anything special, I'm not really a fan of his... but my god, he's about 5 million times better than the alternative.
Not that you matter, but what in god's name do you want? Ask your question.

- Title
- Wave breaking in directional fields
- Author(s)
- Babanin, A. V.; Waseda, T.; Kinoshita, T.; Toffoli, A.
- Abstract
- Wave breaking is observed in a laboratory experiment with waves of realistic average steepness and directional spread. It is shown that modulational-instability mechanism is active in such circumstances, and can lead to the breaking. Experiments were conducted in the directional wave tank of the University of Tokyo, and the mechanically-generated wave fields consisted of a primary wave with sidebands in the frequency domain, with continuous directional distribution in the angular domain. Initial steepness of the primary wave and sidebands, as well as the width of directional distributions varied in a broad range, in order to determine the combination of steepness/directional-spread properties which separate modulational-instability breaking from the linear-focusing breaking.

This years 59th Annual All Florida Juried Competition and Exhibition was quite a bit larger than last years. Last year, we had 47 artists represented and this year it was 80. That translates to roughly 1/3 more artworks in the show. If you visited the exhibition both years, perhaps you noticed that it is divided into smaller rooms this year as opposed to the larger, sweeping gallery space we set up last year.On Thursday and Friday, June 13th and 14th, the juror, Linda Norden, flew down to Boca to judge the works in situ. Each juror has their own set of criteria by which they judge a show. Norden explains hers as such, In my case, the priority was to identify work that seemed intensely rooted in some personal experience or observation, and as free as possible from predictable pictorial ticks or tricks of the trade. . . Whatever the medium, I want to feel that the content is urgent and close to the heart and soul of the artist, and that the aesthetic decisions do justice to that content.Norden selected Kerry Phillips Chairs, Found and Fixed as the Best in Show. She gave out 3 Merit Awards to Melissa Marrero , Roberta Schofield, and Noelle Mason for their respective bodies of work included in the show. She clarifies her choices by saying, Im partial to direct, clear, expression painterly, structural, but also things that are hyper-real... Norden indicated that she felt a strong personal statement in each womans work.An exhibition like the All Florida can teach us about the Floridian arts community. For instance, there was a marked lack of artwork that dealt with war or Iraq. Norden commented on how this is not the case for New York Citys emerging artists the city from which she hails. On the other hand, there was a preponderance of work that made the landscape, environment, or varied population its subject. This is especially poignant right now, considering the environmental problems occurring on the west side of the state. If I had to guess at next years submissions, I would expect even more environmentally-themed works and those submitted will probably have a more political bent to them. Some suggestions for artists considering applying next year:
This last piece of advice seems pretty obvious but many people ignore it outright.Most questions can be answered by reading the rules in totality. Things like: weight restrictions, size restrictions, drop-off and pick-up times, acceptable media, ad infinitum. If there is something we missed, I will happily tack it on to the end of the rules. True, they do look long and boring to read, but it is really worth the time you take.Any suggestions can be either posted in the comments section or emailed to myself directly at firstname.lastname@example.com 59th Annual All Florida Juried Competition and Exhibition will run through August 8th in the downstairs galleries, alongside the Boca Museum Artists Guild Biennial Exhibition.

all i have left is you 5:19, is the second longest song ever, well except pay the man.
first few times i heard it i didn't like it but i just put it on and realized it is a pretty good song
the only 2 songs i don't like on it now are oc guns and cruising california
All I Have Left Is You is such a great song. Everytime I listen to it I make up a 2 music video to it in my head. The 1) is about a couple that is going through a hard time and they're trying to work out and everything.
The 2nd is a person going through a hard a time and feels like everything is out of control and they feel like they're breaking and an another person (friend or significant other) is there helping the person out ressuring them that everything is going to be ok and they are there for them no matter what.
Oh yes this is an awesome song, i think it's one of the best slow songs they have done. Well i think Gone Away is there best slow song.

Geez....wonder why?
QThere's something about this Bushmaster AR-15: Both Adam Lanza and William Spangler, the two gunmen in the Newtown and firefighter shootings, respectively, got their hands on the same make of semi-automatic, the .223 caliber rifle, pictured right. This popular sporting gun seems to be the weapon of choice for many a mass murderer. It's also the same gun used by James Holmes, of the Aurora theater shootings last summer, as well as Jacob Tyler Roberts, the mall shooter from a few weeks back. What is it about this Bushmaster that makes it so available and desirable for these gunmen?

As members of parliament began receiving 200,000/- in new allowances, up from the previous 70,000/-, the State House in Dar es Salaam refuted reports that President Jakaya Kikwete has endorsed them.
A statement issued yesterday said the President's stand on the new MP allowances, which he has stated previously, was his advice to the MPs to use the current parliamentary meetings to carefully review the matter.
It said while President Kikwete admits to the need to review MPs' sitting allowances, he had cautioned them to use wisdom and prudence in handling the issue.
"President Kikwete's directive on the MPs' allowances is very clear…there is no place showing that he has approved the sitting allowances," read part of the statement.
However the Speaker of the National Assembly Anna Makinda announcing the official position on the new allowances at a press briefing in Dodoma yesterday reiterated that they had the blessings of President Jakaya Kikwete.
"We got the President's blessings...to pay the MPs the new allowances," she said.
"We got the President's blessings...to pay the MPs the new allowances," she said.
"I want to make it clear…the new sitting allowances for MPs are paid only during parliamentary sessions…they are not paid continuously, as speculated in the streets. They are sitting allowances and not general allowances," Makinda stressed.
She added: "An MP, who fails to attend the session or sign the register, will not get the allowance.''
She dismissed as unfounded assertions that MPs will be paid the new sitting allowance in lump sum — that's receive the money regardless of whether they attend a parliamentary session or not.
Defending the increase from 70, 000/- to 200,000/-, Makinda described the amount as "peanuts", citing the high cost of living and what she said were the lawmakers' pressing needs.
She explained that MPs have numerous responsibilities (personal and in their constituencies) which can hardly be accomplished with the 'meagre' salaries and allowances they get.
"Our voters in the constituencies have so many problems, which MPs cannot just neglect…they have to support their people. There are things at the constituency level, which need, not only moral support but also financial and material support from the MPs," she observed.
"At times," she said, "some MPs have to borrow money to refuel their vehicles. All this is because of the multiple responsibilities they have."
According to her, the increase in allowances was not a new phenomenon, as the Parliament copied a government circular issued in 2010 which specifies the standards for setting up allowances and other packages for public leaders.
"So, these standards are also applied by the government departments. It's not a new system…that's why we (the Parliament) thought that it is worth adopting the same in raising the allowances paid to MPs," she clarified.
The new sitting allowances for MPs has been fiercely criticized by people of different walks of life, who said it is too high, especially when considering the economic difficulties facing the country.
At one time, the Parliamentary Services Commission halted payment of the new allowances pending the president's approval.
Not all MPs were in agreement with the increase, with outspoken Kigoma North legislator Zitto Kabwe (Chadema) stressing that the increment was unlawful and that the PSC members should be held accountable for it.
"MPs who have pocketed the new allowances should return the money because it was paid against the law," stressed Kabwe, who is also deputy leader of the official opposition camp in parliament.
After noting that Speaker of the National Assembly and the PM had blessed the review, members of the public came out in the open saying the government has not been fair to other workers and groups of people in the country.
They said the government's decision to approve the new allowances for lawmakers may trigger workers in other sectors to demand the same and probably paralyse the economy at some point.
St. Augustine University of Tanzania Prof Mwesiga Baregu said it is extremely bad for the president and his government to fail to look into the situation of economically disadvantaged groups and consider only the demands of the 'parliamentarians'.
The prevailing problems in the country might become worse if the government will not systematically look and consider the demands of other groups, he said.
"Can you imagine what would happen if the police force staged a strike, or if drivers, public servants and teachers did the same?" he asked.
He said the government must avoid pouring fuel on the fire that is already burning.
He explained that principally it is wrong to pay allowances to MPs who are elected to sit in parliament and get salaries out of their meetings for them to have double payments.
He said it was an irresponsible decision which violated all ethical norms. "We should not debate further while leaving doctors crying and our patients dying."
Tanzania Episcopal Conference (TEC) deputy secretary general Fr Edger Mbegu, was of the view that economic hardships are not only experienced by MPs but the situation cuts across, students, doctors, teachers and many other social groups.
The government needs to be smart in decision making, he said, specifically when addressing issues related to strikes and demonstrations by avoiding isolating other groups that are important in the community.
"Responsiveness must not be determined by the kind of groups you serve. The government must be responsible and answerable to every group in the community regardless of what and where they are," Mbegu said.

Pikachu's Vacation (short)
this wiki
In Pokémon fan communities, Pikachu's Vacation was noted for introducing the never-before-seen Pokémon character Snubbull (albeit spelled Snubble), as well as the first primary anime appearance of the already popular Marill. This became a tradition for all Pikachu shorts, as they were used to introduce new Pokémon from the upcoming "generations" of Pokémon games, cards, and anime material.
When Ash and his friends stumble upon a Pokémon-only vacation resort, they decide to let their Pokémon have a day of fun and relaxation and let all their Pokémon out as the trainers go relax on their own. Pikachu and the Pokémon (Bulbasaur, Charizard, Squirtle, Pidgeotto, Geodude, Onix, Vulpix, Zubat, Staryu, Goldeen, Psyduck, and Togepi) go off into the resort and immediately contend with an unhappy Togepi, which they succeed in doing. Soon, a group of border-ruffian Pokémon comprised of a Raichu, Cubone, Snubbull, and Marill come along and immediately cause trouble for Pikachu's group. The ensuing standoff soon becomes a series of competitions such as a swimming race. Their increasingly passionate rivalry soon comes to a standstill when Pikachu's companion Charizard finds its head stuck in a tight storage receptacle. Putting aside their squabble, Pikachu and Raichu's groups join together to release Charizard, and they soon find themselves as friends for the rest of the day. At the end of the day, Pikachu and his fellow Pokémon leave the resort with fond memories and new friends and rejoin their trainers.
This was the first time Charizard was seen crying.

She's a unit that gets you extra SP. So therefore, let her be bound by the same rules of having garbage stats and not auto-winning games against files depending on level 1 units for sh!ts and giggles. That, or just rebalance the stats of all the other SP generators in all other spheres so they have most of their attributes loaded into HP. We're not even talking about doing it on auto (meaning she gets to attack with Judie/Verlaat buffs), or doing it for 0 floating SP (meaning you get to drop guardian right afterwards and not eat shade). Either, or.
Consistency please. Or if it's "omfg it's Refess color wheel blah blah" then please give Falkow back pre-HP-nerf Fencer, Gowen back pre-nerfs Bringer and Jack, and Lawtia back its pre-nerf MD augment, MD exorcist, Chaos Annarose, and deathmaker.
Or do you have to subject everyone to ridiculous boredom in a quest to break miff by playing mid-refess variants until they smash their heads against their desks from playing yellow snowball for the umpteenth time?

The Shamal is a multi-role, jet powered business aeroplane in Grand Theft Auto games: SA, IV, EFLC, CW and V.
GTA: San Andreas
The first time the player could fly the Shamal was in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The plane, despite its interior size, can only transport the player. The Shamal is a good choice for people who are just learning to fly jets, as its handling is balanced, and it's easy to land on runways. Shamal is based on the Learjet 55 and Learjet 60. The GTA III Shamal is based on the Learjet 35.
The most prominent appearance of the Shamal is during "Freefall", when the plane's interior can be seen. The size of the interior appears larger than usual for an aircraft with a relatively small fuselage, and the interior incongruously features 16 windows (9 on the left and 7 on the right) when the plane features only 8 outside.
Grand Theft Auto IV and EFLC
The Shamal appears as an uncontrollable aircraft at the Francis International Airport.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
The jet is introduced in the first mission of the game. Huang Lee used it to travel to Liberty City. For the rest of the game, just as in GTA IV, is an uncontrollable aircraft at the Francis International Airport.
Grand Theft Auto V
The Shamal will reappear in Grand Theft Auto V, as a similar plane is seen at the end of the trailer and in one screenshot.
GTA: San Andreas
- Los Santos International Airport, one of them just northwest of the runway.
- Easter Bay International Airport, two of them next to southeastern access road, another one next to fuel tanks, where Stinger can be also obtained.
- Las Venturas Airport, two of them between the two sets of ramps, west of the runway. During the mission Saint Mark's Bistro there is another one at the notrhern end of the runway, which is supposed to serve CJ as transport to Liberty City and back.
- During the mission Freefall it flies to Las Venturas and CJ is supposed to jack it with a Dodo, eliminate the strike team and pilot inside and land the plane at LVA.
- Francis International Airport, however non-accessible.
- Airports in Los Santos.(possibly)
Similar aircraft
- In other GTA games, business jets resembling the Shamal first appeared in Grand Theft Auto III and then Grand Theft Auto: Vice City; however, the player could not fly the plane. The plane has also been depicted in take-off and landing in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories; in GTA Liberty City Stories, the player can stand on the plane's wing while it's accelerating to fly away, but will most likely fall after a while, and in GTA Vice City Stories, the plane is seen entering and exiting Escobar International Airport from time to time. A glitch allows the player to enter the plane in GTA Vice City Stories, but it is not controllable.
- In GTA Advance, during Freedom Flies, a cutscene shows a plane similar to the Shamal.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, business jets still remain uncontrollable (nor can any other planes be flown) but such vehicles can still be found at Francis International Airport, featuring an updated design. One such plane is used by Kenny Petrovic during the Hangman's NOOSE multiplayer mission wherein up to four players must hold back NOOSE units and escort Petrovic from his jet at Francis International Airport to a safepoint.
- In the Grand Theft Auto IV DLC Ballad of Gay Tony, Ray Bulgarin owns a similar plane called a Ghawar.
- In GTA: San Andreas, while in the interior of the Shamal during Freefall, the player can shoot out the lights and headrests.
- The Shamal can be seen on the TV show I'm Rich in GTA IV, possibly suggesting that it was cut from the game.
- In Arabic, Shamal means "North".

The arts of knitting and crochet have been around for centuries and continue to hold onto their popularity. Kmart has a great selection of knitting supplies and crochet supplies available to appeal to you, whether you're new to these crafts or you've been doing them for years.
While knitting uses two needles and crocheting uses a single hook to make stitches, both techniques can be used to create beautiful blankets, apparel and accessories. If you're just starting out with knitting and crochet, books are a valuable resource. You can get a solid introduction with step-by-step instruction. You'll also be able to get a variety of design patterns to get started on your crafty journey. Before you know it, you'll have a gorgeous afghan to adorn your sofa.
Yarn comes in a full array of colors so you can create items for any occasion or to match any room of your home. It also is available in different materials, including acrylic, bamboo, wool and cotton, so you can choose the perfect thread whether you're looking for something soft enough for a baby or something to keep you warm on a cold winter day. Needles also are constructed from different materials, such as steel and bamboo, so you can find tools that are most comfortable to work with. Unlike when you're sewing, you can be mobile when you're knitting or crocheting. A variety of baskets and bins allow you to store your needles, yarn and works in progress to keep them organized and take them on the go. You'll find these and all your other knitting and crochet supplies at Kmart.

Lazy eye (amblyopia) is decreased vision that results from abnormal visual development in infancy and early childhood. Although lazy eye usually affects only one eye, it can affect both eyes. Lazy eye is the leading cause of decreased vision among children. Left untreated, vision loss may range from mild to severe.
With lazy eye, there may not be an obvious abnormality of the eye. Lazy eye develops when nerve pathways between the brain and the eye aren't properly stimulated. As a result, the brain favors one eye, usually due to poor vision in the other eye. The weaker eye tends to wander. Eventually, the brain may ignore the signals received from the weaker — or lazy — eye.
Usually doctors can correct lazy eye with eye patches, eyedrops, and glasses or contact lenses. Sometimes lazy eye requires surgical treatment.

Will the updated version of the Synapse 19 cost more than the current version of the Synapse?
Will the updated version of the Synapse 19 cost more than the current version of the Synapse?
Hmm, there's something a bit strange from the Synapse 25 page:
With 400d Dyneema®/420d nylon ripstop you'll save about 20% on the overall weight of the Synapse.
Just wondering, which one is correct? I hope it's the first one...^^Quote:
Weight: 1.79 lbs / 813 grams (Cordura®); 1.68 lbs / 761 grams (400d Dyneema®/420d nylon ripstop)
One Synapse 25 in Navy/Iberian ordered.
And my Navy/Iberian family continues to grow!! So very excited!
Once again, KUDOS, TB gang!
Great stuff TB crew. I liked the video, and the cat! :)
Now I just need to decide whether to go with the 25 or 19. I'm 6'1'' (186cm) tall so I'm inclined to go with the 25, but I think I'll inspect it a bit more to decide since I don't want something too big.
Congratulations on your new Synapse.
I do have the Synapse 19 in Nordic/Steel. I like that combination also - I think it is classic. But a woman can always use another Synapse 19, particularly one in Nordic/Iberian. And if the Synapse 19 also comes in Steel Dyneema/Iberian - I will be skipping lunch and movies for a long, long time!
Meantime, I need to get me something in wasabi! I got a travel tray, but gifted it. So I saw wasabi - it is beautiful.
Ohh... the consequences of being afflicted with Bihn Acquisition Syndrome... major flare-up...
Navy/Iberian Synapse 25 ordered. My trigger finger rests now. I can get back to life-as-usual...
Pangs of TB Anticipation Syndrome starting not 3 seconds after I click the BUY button!
Someone please help me!
I have BAS (Bihn Acquisition Syndrome)!!
I would like some pictures of the new Synapse on different bodies-- mainly because I would like to see if it is too big for smaller people.
I have been wanting a new backpack for a long time and I really like the new rails feature on the Synapse 25, because my job (I'm a professor) has ordered me a new macbook to replace the brick that is currently my laptop and I wanted to get a backpack that could work both as a backpack for travel and to carry my new computer (and all my books and papers) to work. Thing is I am a 5'5 woman of average build, and while I really like the new synapse I am wondering if it may be too big for me? So if someone could post some comparative pictures (maybe Synapse 25 on a shorter person verus a taller person?) that would be fantastic. At the moment I'm on the fence as to if I want to go bigger or smaller Synapse. Oy
You can have someone measure your torso length and see if you're close to 20 inches. If so, it should fit. Measure from C7 (knob at the back of your neck) to a line drawn across your back from the top of your hip bones.
I'm 5'6" with a 20 inch torso length, so I'm guessing it will fit me. I hope so, considering I ordered mine yesterday.
Placed an order for a Black/Steel combo with additional key straps and gate clips! Now to just find a way to wait patiently. Hmmmm....
The larger Synapse looks fantastic, but I still love my Smart Alec as my large backpack. But I may pick up a Synapse 19 this summer (hopefully in person at the Tom Bihn factory in Seattle) for my smaller backpack needs (day hikes and things like that). And it'll be doubly awesome if it incorporates some of these new design updates.
Hmmm, I was waivering on the SA, until I saw it in Nordic with the UV interior, and updated design. I then decided I wanted one.
I still prefer the layout and sleekness of my plum and UV Synapses and think the new Synapse 25 would make me just as happy, and fulfill my large backpack needs. My dilemma is that I keep reading it is optimized for people over 5' 6" and I'm maybe 5' 2.5". Darcy, which should feel most comfortable to a shortish small framed person? I chose (and am very happy with) the WF for its smallness. The TS felt too large. I'm short waisted too if that matters at all.
Off to study the dimensions of both bags in comparrison to each other.
And will Nordic wasabi, or Nordic UV be a future consideration, or is steel Dyneema wasabi as good as its going to get?
I love the new design, and the video btw.
I'm stuck between the 19 and 25 too. I'm 6'1'' and 200 pounds so it seems like I ought to go for the 25 though I don't want something too big since I prefer a more discreet look. I'm impressed with the stuff people manage to shove into their Synapse 19 (especially the travel posts on the forum) so it seems like it would suit my needs, but size wise I'm not sure how it would suit me.Quote:
So if someone could post some comparative pictures (maybe Synapse 25 on a shorter person verus a taller person?) that would be fantastic. At the moment I'm on the fence as to if I want to go bigger or smaller Synapse. Oy
There's a photo in this topic with a man who has a larger body width than me, and the Synapse 19 seems to fit him rather well, then again he does seem to be shorter than me.
I would suggest to go into a backpack store and find some bags with similar dimensions to the 19 and 25 since that's what I plan on doing tomorrow.
Oh! Synapse 25 looks gorgeous. Hoping to order but will need to compare size to some old packs around the house to compare...19 was too small and 25 may be too long for my torso/waist. Was also hoping for ballistic instead of cordura (animals everywhere: at work, at home and everywhere in between). Also was hoping for a padded carry strap on top (everything else looks AMAZING but - sorry - the plain webbed carry strap just looks cheap/cheesy). May keep wishin' and hopin' .......
