New Zealand Favorite Tips by fishandchips Top 5 Page for this destination
New Zealand Favorites: 374 reviews and 338 photos
Split Apple - Abel Tasman Nat Park
Favorite thing: New Zealand has some rather interesting natural landmarks as you will no doubt see as you travel around our fair land.
In the South Island you can see everything from the split apple to the moeraki bolders in the round shaped area and the Pancake rocks at Punakaiki for a different formation completly.
In the North there are some interesting places to see including the fabled rock wall of the Kaimanawa forest or the stone circles near Manganui bluff.
Favorite thing: The following itinerary is from the Destination NZ site and in response to the number of requests I get for travel ideas when coming to NZ. It is set up for travel by car with a ferry trip from North to South.
Day 1 , from Auckland travel north and explore the beaches and harbours of the Bay of Islands. Day 2 , visit the historic settlement of Kaitaia and take a day trip to Ninety Mile Beach and Cape Reinga. Day 3 , head south and return to city life in Auckland. Day 4 , travel south through Waikato countryside to the magical Waitomo Caves. Day 5 , explore the lakeside adventure capital of Taupo. Day 6 , drive the remarkable Desert Road in the shadow of volcanoes and unwind in the pretty gardens of Palmerston North. Day 7 , head for Wellington and indulge in the rich culture of the capital city. Day 8 , cross to the South Island and go whale watching at Kaikoura. Day 9 , visit Christchurch city for a little retail therapy. Day 10 , head south to Dunedin and sample the rich heritage. Day 11 , drive through the wilderness of Southland and stop at New Zealand's southern-most city, Invercargill. Day 12 , turn north, heading for Te Anau and its famous glow worm caves. Day 13 , take a round trip to majestic Milford Sound. Day 14 , head for Queenstown and dare yourself to sample the adventure activities. Day 15 , stop by beautiful Wanaka on the way to Franz Josef or Fox Glacier in West Coast glacier country. Day 16 , head up the coast until you reach Punakaiki and its stunning rock formations. Day 17 , make your way over the Lewis Pass and relax in the hot pools at Hanmer Springs. Day 18 , finish your journey in picturesque Christchurch.
Hmmm, which one next???
Favorite thing: Probably because of our English roots we are very much a beer drinking nation. With the opening hours of bars and cafes now rather extensive and the higher end market being explored by many upmarket places, the options when going for a beer or 3 are endless. Obviously there will be places that suit your style and mood better on some days than others. My suggestions (and I'm open to your if you'd like to share) for a good place for a beer are - Wellington: Malthouse, Christchurch: Torenhof, Auckland: Cock & Bull
Favorite thing: On a nice day this is one of the best places in NZ to spent a bit of time just sitting & watching the world go by. Wellington suffers from a bit of wind normally (their rugby team is the Hurricanes!!) so when a good day arrives some time on the waterfront is just fantastic.
Views from Oriental Bay (with especially shipped in sand) around to the Ferry terminal can be gained from many vantage points including near Te Papa Musuem. This location is close to Courtenay Place with its many food shops so a spur of the moment picnic could be a good option. There is also a supermarket close by if you prefer making your own filled rolls etc etc.
Great Walks of New Zealand
Favorite thing: New Zealand has some outstanding tracks for those who like to go tramping (hiking). Most have huts located along them for walker comfort however make sure you plan ahead if you want to get a bed. Many are first come first served however others use a booking system with bookings required peak season for the Abel Tasman Coast Track, Heaphy, Milford, Routeburn and Kepler tracks.
Be aware that fees are charged for many of the huts. The fees will depend on the season that you are walking. Peak season is from 1 October to 30 April (summer) but these dates may vary depending on the track. Off-peak season is generally from 1 May to 30 September (winter). Peak season opening dates may be delayed by snow or avalanche conditions.
The main tracks from South to North are;
- Rikiura Track
- Kepler Track
- Milford Track
- Routeburn Track
- Heaphy Track
- Abel Tasman Coast Track
- Whanganui River Journey
- Tongariro Nothern Circuit
- Waikaremoana Track
For more information google any of the above for info specific to what you are looking for. The general location of each track is in the picutre.
For more info about bookings you can send an email to email@example.com
Te Anau side entrance.
Favorite thing: A trip to Milford Sound is not possible (unless you fly or have your own boat!!) without going through the Homer Tunnel. It was built between 1935 & 1940 then slowly widened until 1953 when road traffic could also use it.
It's a bit of an extreme journey, especially if you are in a campervan and have a bus coming the other way as the tunnel is a bit tight. The tunnel is very steep and has water dripping from the roof. You'd almost think that the tunnel is partially natural as it is probably the smooth type of tunnel that you're used to in your own country!!
The drive from Te Anau takes just over an hour to get here and it takes you through some fantastic scenery including lakeside, forest and bush. The things that are so special about this part of New Zealand.

Title: | Unsaturated soil mechanics for slope stabilization. |
Author: | Rahardjo, Harianto.; Satyanaga, Alfrendo.; Leong, Eng Choon. |
Copyright year: | 2011 |
Abstract: | Rainfall-induced slope failures commonly occur in the unsaturated zone above groundwater table in many steep residual soil slopes. Dynamic variations in groundwater table and flux boundary conditions across ground surface result in changes in pore-water pressure in the unsaturated zone. During a prolonged dry period, excessive evaporation and evapo-transpiration on the ground surface causes soil desiccation and tension cracks to develop on the slope surface, increasing permeability of soils near the ground surface. In addition, the groundwater table can go down to deeper depths during the dry period. As a result, pore-water pressures in the unsaturated zone will become more negative, contributing to the shear strength of soil. During a rainy season, cracked soils with a higher permeability will increase rain infiltration into slopes and the groundwater table may rise, causing an increase in pore-water pressures in the zone above the groundwater table. As a result, the shear strength of the soil will decrease and factor of safety of the slope will be reduced to a low value that may trigger failures. Therefore, it is important to be able to protect unsaturated zone within a slope by controlling the groundwater level and the flux boundary conditions across slope surface as a slope stabilization method. One method of controlling groundwater level is using horizontal drains while the flux boundary conditions can be controlled using slope cover such as capillary barrier or vegetative cover. The mechanisms of these slope stabilization methods are based on principles of unsaturated soil mechanics since it is the unsaturated zone of the slope that needs to be maintained for the stability of the slope. In this paper, the mechanisms of unsaturated zone in a slope using several slope stabilization methods (i.e., horizontal drains, capillary barrier system and vegetative cover) are described using real field examples involving site investigation, installation, numerical analyses and instrumentation. The appropriateness and effectiveness of each slope stabilization method can be assessed using principles of unsaturated soil mechanics. |

The loss was the 10th in a row here for WVU (15-7, 5-4 Big East) against the Orange (22-1, 9-1). The Mountaineers won in the Dome in their first opportunity in 1996, but haven't won since and have lost 13 of 14 in the series.
WVU will now work to avoid the first three-game losing streak under Huggins in Monday's home game against Pitt. The Mountaineers lost 78-62 Wednesday at St. John's, though they were far better Saturday.
WVU was either tied or in the lead for all but 1:39 of Saturday's first half after trailing by double digits for most of Wednesday's first half.
"You knew West Virginia was going to come back like this," Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim said. "They've been a good road team the whole year. They whipped Kansas State and they should have beaten Baylor in the tournament. They won by 20 at Rutgers. They just had a bad game the other night. Everyone does that at one time or another in this league. They're tough."
Jones led WVU with 20 points and eight rebounds and Bryant added 12 -- all in the second half, but none in the final 8:12. Browne was scoreless Wednesday, but had 11 points, five rebounds, three assists and no turnovers against Syracyse. Aaron Brown, also scoreless Wednesday, responded with five points off the bench while Hinds added six points and three assists with no turnovers.
Those three were 3-for-16 for six points and eight turnovers Wednesday. They were 7-for-12 with one turnover against Syracuse.
"It was a different game," Browne said. "We came out with our minds set and we listened to what the coaches said. We listened to what they said and we were a better team."
Triche led the Orange with 18 points and Joseph added 13 and seven rebounds. Scoop Jardine had nine points and five assists. Syracuse shot 46 percent in the game even while missing 16 of 20 3-point attempts. The Orange lived on WVU's turnovers and had 22 points off WVU's 17 giveaway.
"One good thing is that we only turned the ball over six times and they turned it over 17," Boeheim said. "We picked up (12) points there, which we had to have or the game would not have been close."
The Mountaineers shot 40 percent in the game and were 13-for-33 in the second half after starting 7-for-10.
"Deniz is 2-for-10 and they're all right around the goal," Huggins said. "You guys watch him. Normally he finishes better than that."
WVU won the rebounding battle 41-20, but also let the Orange do what they do best. They lead the country with 10.3 steals per game and had 11 Saturday and are also No. 1 with a plus-7 turnover margin, which was plus-11 against WVU.
Still, the Mountaineers allowed only 10 fast-break points and never let the game get away from them until it was over. They were also much improved on offense and used a patient, unselfish approach with 16 assists on 22 baskets.
"I know we didn't win, but I like the way we controlled the tempo the whole time," Bryant said. "We controlled the game and didn't just shoot 3s. We got the ball inside and outside. We knew they were a good team in transition and we wanted to keep them from running up and down the floor.
"We did a good job with all that. It sucks we didn't come out with a win, but we did some good things to get better results from now on."

SETI Searches Today
Like other areas of astronomy, SETI can benefit from the efforts of amateurs and not just by using their idle computer time. A powerful beacon elsewhere in the galaxy could easily fall into the enormous coverage gaps of the major SETI programs, yet be detectable with nothing more than a properly equipped home satellite dish and narrowband signal analyzer. These small dishes have a much wider beam that can cover more sky for a longer time than large radio telescopes. Amateurs thus can increase the breadth of coverage, though at the expense of much less depth (lower sensitivity and noise rejection).
Examples of small-scale SETI efforts include Project BAMBI ("Bob And Mikes' Big Investment"), a pair of small, 3.1-million-channel radio telescopes intended to observe in parallel from California and Colorado 1,000 miles apart to screen out local interference. Bob Lash, Mike Fremont, and Mike Fox designed their setup to explore frequencies near 4 GHz, higher than other searches. "To up the odds a bit," writes Mike Fox, "we have decided to point our dishes straight down our spiral arm [of the Milky Way]. This gives us the maximum number of stars in each patch of the sky we are looking at."
As of August 2003 both BAMBI stations were being upgraded to 12-foot (4-meter) dishes, according to Bob Lash. He also said the team may use the BOINC distributed-computing spinoff of SETI@home to recruit volunteer data processors; "We might call the project 'bambi@home.' "
Another example is Robert Gray's Small SETI Radio Telescope, which carried out various projects starting in 1983. Gray was also granted time on the Very Large Array radio telescope in New Mexico quite an accomplishment for an amateur to follow up on the famous "Wow signal" recorded in 1977 at Ohio State University's Big Ear. (No trace of a signal from the "Wow" location showed up even with the VLA's vastly greater sensitivity.) More recently Gray monitored the Wow site for extended lengths of time using a 26-meter dish in Tasmania.
Starting in 1995 the SETI League, directed by H. Paul Shuch in Little Ferry, New Jersey, made ambitious plans to coordinate amateur stations worldwide through its Project Argus (not to be confused with Ohio State University's next-generation Argus omnidirectional radio telescope). The SETI League's ultimate goal was to have 5,000 small, amateur radio telescopes around the globe monitoring the entire celestial sphere continuously. In many cases, such observing stations have cost their builders only several hundred to several thousand dollars. The SETI League offers technical guidelines and help in getting parts and software.
However, the SETI League never came anywhere near its goal of 5,000 installations. Among the League's 1,476 members as of July 2006, there were 131 Project Argus participants, and that number had barely budged in the last several years. Moreover, donations were down.
"It's time to redefine our objective for Project Argus," Shuch wrote. "Instead of full-sky coverage, perhaps what we should be striving for is the very best science we can do with however many stations we can muster." Among other things, the SETI League has built a beacon that bounces a weak, narrowband signal off the Moon so that SETI workers worldwide have a celestial standard for testing and calibrating their equipment. More recently the League obtained a patent for a new method of combining signals flexibly from small radio telescopes, based on a prototype SETI instrument named the Very Small Array that Shuch and other members have built.
James Brown of Del Mar, California, is a prolific SETI League member who started building amateur SETI gear in 1978. He has written extensive astronomical, coordination, and signal analysis software, which he shares worldwide through his seti.net website. In April 2005 he received the League's Giordano Bruno award for his ongoing work. As of 2011 he was using a 10-foot dish; knowing its limited capabilities, he was using it to monitor the L4 and L5 stable Lagrangian points, just 1 a.u. away in Earth's orbit, for any beacon transmitter that aliens may have parked there long ago.
Amateurs in Australia have been developing several SETI installations through the SETI Research & Community Development Institute. Among other things, members of the group have sought rights to an old but huge, fully steerable, 33.5-meter (110-foot) dish at Carnarvon. SRCDI director Noel C. Welstead wrote (December 2003) that it will take "a few more years of work running through the government red tape to fully secure the use of this impressive antenna. We can't wait."
Meanwhile, he wrote, "We are constructing the Boonah SETI Observatory, where we will be conducting searches in both the optical and radio spectrums. We recently had 'first light' with our 5-meter Argus station," detecting the weak Project Argus signals bounced off the Moon. "Also, construction has commenced on the twin 40-foot [12-meter] dishes that will be our primary ears to tune into the universe. Our optical facility has seen first light with the commissioning of the 14-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Work has begun on the optical detectors that will get the optical SETI project up and running."
Strengths: Enough small amateur radio telescopes, running continuously, could watch large swaths of the sky all the time in case alien radio emissions at a well-guessed frequency are strong but intermittent.
Weaknesses: Mostly tiny apertures, tiny bandwidths (though this should improve), labor-intensive signal analysis, unsophisticated false-alarm rejection and members' unpredictable commitments to very long-term, long-shot projects.

Just seen this review. When Vikor was announced as a monthly figure, I was like, what? But now I can't wait for him to arrive!
Mine had long brown streaks going down his back, and one small one across his chest. If it was not intended, the cape must have been wet when they put it on him, and the brush must have slipped on his chest. But it still looks very cool!
I love an all inclusive canon!
Awesome figure! LOVE the new ankle joints! Great review!

On Tuesday presenters, including leading agribusiness executives and business economists, reported that despite the challenging global economic climate, the U.S. rural economy has weathered the recession better than most sectors due to steady demand for agricultural products, stable land prices and healthy credit lines for farmers". read more »
The bailouts payments mount, the budget expands, the deficit widens, the national debt increases. How high is up?
How far can the totals go? Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testified before the Senate Budget Committee on March 3, 2009. He believes that the markets will be "quite able" to absorb the debt issued by the US government over the next couple of years to cover all the bailout and stimulus payments read more »
Ten Year loss in the S&P 500 on Par with the Great Depression
In the ten-year stretch from Sept. 1929 to Sept. 1939, spanning the worst years of the Great Depression, the stock market dropped a full 50%, adjusted for inflation. Look out, the current decade (Feb. 17, 1999 to Feb. 17, 2009) appears to yield the same decrease: the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index is down roughly 50%, also adjusted for inflation. read more »
Business Journalists Blew the Story on the Economy
The business sections of newspapers have become doomsayers for the nation. Sensationalistic journalism decries of the failings and crises that have done our economy irreparable harm.
Rewind to a couple of years ago, and the print media was content with profiles of personable CEOs and pages upon pages devoted to the kitschy Mergers and Acquisitions. Where was the hard-hitting reporting that could've opened the public's eyes to the failing economy much sooner? read more »
Railcars as Economic Indicators
With the nation locked in the firm grips of recession, one indicator of our country's import demand and manufacturing capacity is being stockpiled in Montana. Just south of Great Falls, along the Missouri River, Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway Co. is stockpiling flatbed container cars – a lot of flatbed cars. read more »
Maps of United States Manufacturing and Finance Industry
For our War of the Regions piece I went through BLS data and calculated location quotients for a few key diverging industries, namely manufacturing and securities, commodities and investments side of the finance industry. These are the kind of numbers that really benefit from geographic visualization.
A LQ tells us not where the most jobs are in any given industry, but how much of a state's employment is clustered in the given industry. read more »
Income Inequality on the Rise
A new report released today by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) says that income inequality between the rich and poor has grown in three quarters of OECD nations over the past twenty years. The report, "Growing Unequal?", states that the gap between the rich and middle class in the United States has also grown.
According to the OECD report, read more »

A recent article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal lamented the economic decline in the state according to a report by the Rockefeller Institute of Government in NY.

The Giants avoided arbitration with outfielder Melky Cabrera, tweets ESPN's Enrique Rojas, signing him for $6MM.

The Giants acquired Cabrera on November 7th from the Royals for another arbitration eligible player, Jonathan Sanchez.
As our arbitration tracker shows, the Giants' remaining arbitration eligible players are Tim Lincecum, Sergio Romo, Pablo Sandoval, and Nate Schierholtz.

METALS-Copper slips as U.S. government shutdown drags on
SINGAPORE, Oct 3 (Reuters) - London copper futures dropped for a second session out of three on Thursday, with commodity prices under pressure as a partial shutdown of U.S. government operations dragged on.
* Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange had eased 0.2 percent to $7,267.25 a tonne by 0045 GMT. The metal touched a one-week low of $7,142 on Wednesday before recovering to settle 1.1 percent higher.
* Chinese markets are closed for a third day for the National Day holiday, cutting liquidity in Asia. They will reopen on Tuesday.
* President Barack Obama met with Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress to try to break a deadlock that has shut down parts of the federal government, but there was no breakthrough.
* U.S. private employers added 166,000 jobs in September, lower than the expected gain of 180,000, according to payroll processor ADP. The data barely influenced markets on Wednesday but it may well be the only September U.S. jobs data investors will see this week if government operations don't resume in time for the Bureau of Labor Statistics to release Friday's nonfarm payrolls report.
* The European Central Bank left its key interest rate at a record low but said it is watching moves in market interest rates closely and is ready to use any policy option to temper them if needed.
* Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc reached a tentative agreement with Indonesian union workers over wages and pensions, raising hopes that a strike will be averted with just two days left of talks.

We were also pleased to see and felt very patriotic that there was a large spread of Aussies throughout the stands. This as per usual was evident when the typical chant of Aussie, Aussie, Aussie rang out at regular intervals. Lleyton started poorly losing the first set to Mikail Youzhny 6-4. As per usual however Lleyton managed to fight, grind, annoy and chase his way to a break in the 2nd eventually ...

We parted ways, and I headed to check in at Asiana Airlines. Really I can't stress enough how friendly these people were. not only was I guided to the next window with a small bow (yeah I bowed back out of reflex) but the gentleman that attended me was super nice as well. I suppose it pays to be friendly because not only did he assign me a window seat, but he also moved me to the emergency row with extra leg room for no extra charge.

We've seen some superb expected highs from Macchu Picchu, safari in South Africa, China's Great Wall and more recently, the Grand Canyon. But it was arguably ...

... up in bed trying to figure out what had just happened. A second explosion occurred shortly after and I realised it was a thunder storm, but unlike any I had ever experienced. It was so loud that it was actually terrifying. I am on the top (fourth) floor of my building, so in my half-asleep and still slightly inebriated state I began building scenarios of the lightning striking the rook and me getting fried to a crisp or similar. Luckily there were only 3 strikes before it settled down, ...

Everything was great at this home especially the heated pool. There were however, a few exceptions. Two of the blow up mattresses were flat, the ladder on the pool was wobbly and felt like it was going to break, and the hide-a-bed downstairs was old and dirty. All in all this was an awesome place to relax, swim, and have fun. There were plenty of towels, sheets, blankets, dishes, and other amenities so we didn't have to bring them. Amy also worked with us on our arrival and departure times so we didn't have to rush to get out of there and we could check in early. Thanks for everything, we would definitely come back!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you for your review! We take our guests comments serious and already have a new hide-a-bed on order for the next rental season. We will also be purchasing new air beds and making sure the pool ladder is more secure. We are pleased to hear you had a great time! Amy and Kristie

Our family had a wonderful time at Hidden Vine Villa. The pool was fantastic! We enjoyed many hours playing games in the water or just floating. Plenty of space to accommodate our group. In the evening we used the outdoor sitting area to play games, eat, and watch the stars. Manson is just minutes away. Most relaxing vacation I've had in years.

My family and I decided to stay in Manson for a family vacation this year. The location was nice, with more sunlight later in the evening compared to Chelan. The only issue we had was the furnace room was leaking water throughout our stay. The carpet was completely soaked in the bonus room down stairs. We had to constantly change the towels out throughout our stay. The owners did send someone but the inspector moved all the furniture and left without putting anything back. It was frustrating and unfortunate that we had to deal with that during our vacation.Recommended for: Families with young children.
Owner response: Katie, thanks for your review. It was very unfortunate that you had to deal with the furnace issue during your stay. We certainly did what we could to try to take care of the problem with the least amount of inconvenience to you and your family during your stay. We have already made repairs to the furnace to try and prevent any future problems for our future guests. Thanks Amy and Kristie

I stayed here with my exteded family, a total of 12 people. The house is advertised to sleep 12-14 but 12 was really pushing it. The kitchen is TINY and for more than one family, this was a real challenge. Also, the air conditioning system needs to be upgraded or repaired. We stayed during mid August and it was uncomfortably hot upstairs and very, very cold downstairs. It is definately a house that looks a lot better online than in person. The saving grace was the pool! It's a fantastic (heated) pool and the kids loved it.Owner response: Thank you for your review. We are very upfront with the number of bedrooms and sleeping accommodations, we allow 12-14 but it is at the comfort level you choose. We offer hide-a-beds, extra air beds, roll-aways as well as floor mats so we can accommodate more guests. The kitchen is fully stocked and functional, there is a good picture of what we offer on the listing. Basements do typically stay much cooler in the summer but we are looking into what we can do to make the air conditioner run more efficiently. Thanks for your review we take our guests comments serious.

Hi Amy, I just wanted to thankyou so much for allowing us to use your incredible house for the week. We just got back a couple of days ago and I already miss the peacefulness and comfort of your home. Our family enjoyed every minute of being there. Our favorite thing to do was sit out on the porch for hours and just talk and laugh together. Your home had everything we could have possibly needed to make our stay comfortable including PLENTY of towels :) It wasnt as close to the lake as we thought but it didnt matter with a pool that was always at 80 degrees, we never wanted to go to the lake!! Thankyou again for allowing us to make some fun family memories that will always be with us. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing place to stay.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+.

With this cooker, eggs have never been easier to prepare. It soft-boils or hard-boils up to seven eggs at a time, or it perfectly poaches three at once. The amount of water added precisely controls cooking time, and indicator lights, an audible signal and auto-shutoff prevent overcooking for great eggs every time.

96 tahoe engine problems
hey guys looking for some insight on a vortec engine here.
helping a buddy out on his truck as its having some issues
what he has is a 1996 tahoe ls 1500 2wd 5.7l vortec auto a/c 255,000 kms
he recently bought this so ive no idea of the history..
the engine is idling at 2500-3000 rpm and the brake pedal is hard.- obvs vaccum leak assumption, but nothing found that stood out.
i pulled the plugs to see what was happening as he had previously be told there was a burnt valve.
the odd bank was in poor shape 1 was ok, 3 plug was heavly fouled and white,5 plug was heavely fouled and black, 7 was half assed
all the even cyls had decent looking plugs but a bit white for my likes
a comp test revealed #1-180 #3-180 #5-160 #7-80
2,4,6,8 were all 190
ive yet to get a vaccum reading or get the codes pulled as i only had a short time to look at this tonight.
just looking for any info that may help with this or if there is any common issues that may be apart of this, i havent had much experience on the vortec engines.
thanks guys,

The North Face Women's Pandora Classic
Designed with contoured shoulder straps that conform to a woman's profile better than unisex daypacks, The North Face Pandora Classic is a comfortable, easy-to-wear design that's ideal for trips to work, school and town. The 710-cubic-inch capacity main compartment is not quite half the size of conventional daypack designs, so the Pandora is best suited for light class loads and women who tend to take their workloads home on USB flashcards instead of hardcopy files. Inside you'll find an organizer with a key clip. There's also a removable cellular phone compartment.
- Rugged Sabre 6 10-oz. polyester fabric with extra durable Sabre 12 (14-oz. polyester) reinforcement areas--all fabric has a DWR finish
- Curved harness design specifically contoured to fit a woman's upper torso
- Comfortable stitched foam back panel
- Removable cellular phone compartment
- Internal organizer with key clip
- Panel loading design with a convenient webbing carry handle up top
- Capacity: 710 in. (12 l.)
- Dimension: 16 x 10 x 7 in. (41 x 25 x 18 cm.)
- Weight: 14 oz. (400 g.)
Purchase the The North Face Pandora Classic for Women from Altrec.com. All order totals over $45 qualify for free ground shipping.
Very pleased with my purchase!
I love this backpack! I needed one for day hiking trips with my two dogs. Just the right size and not heavy at all. Very comfortable to wear. It held everything I wanted to take. Camera, cell phone, compass, dog treats, water, etc.
Mary - June 11 2010
Great Bag
I use this bag for running and light travel. Surprisingly fits a large amount of stuff. One short coming... The front pocket is very small as the space is divided between two other very tiny pockets on either side. This fact is not well displayed in the picture, but still a great bag.
Abby - October 16 2009
Awesome compact backpack
This bag is really great. I have been looking for one with back support for a long time, and finally found it! I can load it up and hardly feel it. It is just a bit too small to fit my 14" laptop, but I use it more for commuting to work -- it fits lunch, a pair of shoes, and wallet/odds & ends. Great Bag!
annette dupres - April 9 2008
Great product!
This is a great little pack, for fitting a lot. the shipping took exactly what they said it would and everything turned out great! My daughter loves this pack.

Yes. I believe a rape will take place in the pages of Superior Spider-Man.
No. I don't believe a rape will take place in the pages of Superior Spider-Man.
I believe rape already occurred in Amazing Spider-Man 700: Doc Ock/Peter kissed MJ.
Ive seen TV shows, movies & comics where kisses happen due to mistaken identities & its not rape.
The poll is wrong and not worth voting on.
It hasn't happened (yet).....but these discussions centre around:
Is there an inference of potential rape? Most people can see there is.....and there is...
Is it rape? Well yes, by deception.....MJ would be having sex with Doc Ock unknowingly and therefore against her will (because she would never do that knowingly)......consent is still an issue in matters connected with rape
It hasn't happened, but the big question is should we allow the possibility of it happening, should we accept the potential of the inference shown and not say/do anything about it.....
It is only fiction, but shouldn't we challenge the ideas presented if we see them as wrong?
Are these the sort of issues and storylines we want for Peter and MJ....for (the Amazing) Spider-Man?
I think you mean "implied" not "inferred", but that's not accurate either. Doc Ock said (in comic-safe lingo) that he wanted to pursue MJ, but that doesn't imply that it will happen. It's a possibility, but there's nothing in the story to suggest it will happen. Like I said, when I read the story, I thought, "ooo! That's creepy!" But Ock's a villain, and he's supposed to be creepy. Not for one second did I think anything was likely to happen. It's all about perspective. So, again, your perception is yours. Dan and Steve have nothing to apologize for on that account.
The context for that quote is: rape isn't funny, but that doesn't mean it's an off-limits subject for a joke.
Honestly, there are now two threads with over 65 pages worth of discussion about the rape of a fictional character that may or may not happen. Do you not see the hilarity in that? So, yeah, I'm not above "poll" jokes. Put me on ignore if it bugs you.
Kevin, yes but my point is about the possibility, and the potentiality of it happening. As you said "Ooooh that's creepy"! You/we all know what could/might happen that's the issue! That being implied or inferred is the issue and this is pretty clear to most people. You don't think Slott n Wacker know/meant this? Do we want to wait for it to happen before we say something? of course it might not matter until it happens some are saying, and that it won't, but what if it does? Do you have that much faith in S n W, after they took us down this road in the first place, in this year of all years, 50 yrs of Spidey and we get Peter offed and potentially his wife raped by an arch enemy? Is that meant to wash easily over fans of the Spidey we've known for up to 50 years?
Yes, you should. However, it's unreasonable to expect that a subject will be off-limits simply because you find it distasteful. Other people may have no problem with rape (deceptive or otherwise) to be addressed in comics. And there's nothing wrong with that opinion either.
Wow, this thread is in serious poor taste, not only because of the distasteful poll, but also because of the knucklehead comments it's going to garner.
1. I'm sure Dan & Steve expected there to be some reaction from fans about the possibility of rape, but I don't think they intended it to be the overall, or even underlying, theme to the story. Right now, EVERYONE is being deceived by the current Spider-Man. Sex isn't even an issue in the deception. Adults may bring that subject into the story with them, but that's really not what the story is about right now. It's a min-swap story. Really Spidey would be "raping" any girl he slept with right now, not just MJ. I suppose you could say that the real Spidey raped every girl he ever slept with that didn't know he was Spidey. He's very deceptive.
2. I personally don't mind stories that tackle tough subjects like rape. While I would hate to see it happen to MJ, I would still enjoy the story if it was told well.
3. I have faith in MJ. She either suspects or will soon suspect that something's up with Pete.
"Hate to see it happen to MJ" good we're agreed.
I do not want this to happen to MJ! And of course MJ would (under normal/better writing circumstances) spot that something's up with Pete, and in fact do something about it........but, we're in the hands of people who gave us/allowed OMD and OMIT and whom in my opinion have bad regard for MJ, so I fear the worst and am not optimistic.....
Anyway gotta go for now, it's 1.45 am here in "blighty".....goodnight!
I don't think that it'll happen...

Do Antitrust Agencies Facilitate Meetings in Smoke-Filled Rooms?
The theory of industrial collusion generally does not distinguish between tacit and explicit collusion. We show that if tacit collusion is not sustainable, firms may still be willing and able to collude explicitly when demand is viscous, the expected antitrust penalty is limited and antitrust agencies are sufficiently effective in detecting and prosecuting cartels.Download Info

Calm Max Scherzer becomes Tigers' road warrior
NEW YORK – Max Scherzer was calm. Unusually calm.
Admittedly an overly excitable pitcher, the 27-year-old right-hander had every reason to be amped up, maybe too much, as he readied for his Game 2 start Sunday. He'd had his struggles on the road all year and his memory of an April start at Yankee Stadium was not a good one. But he was calm.
"For me, believe it or not, I was very calm, relaxed, in the first inning," Scherzer said afterward. "Because I had confidence I was going to pitch well today. From the moment I woke up, I wasn't anxious to get out to the field. I was just very relaxed and was able to slow everything down and it allowed me to pitch my game."
That game was a lights-out performance, carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning and departing in the seventh having allowed just two hits and no runs, leading the Tigers to a 5-3 win over the Yankees that evened the best-of-five American League Division Series at 1-1.
The plan wasn't for Scherzer to pitch here at all, not with an ERA nearly 50 percent higher on the road than at Comerica Park and 18 homers given up in 15 road starts. Four of those runs had come in a five-inning outing to start the season at Yankee Stadium. So he was safely tucked into a Game 3 start until the rain changed everything.
But he insisted before the game the April troubles were long forgotten.
He had to forget them or he never would have achieved any semblance of tranquility as he stepped onto the mound before 50,596 screaming fans.
But he did and as he made his way through the first few innings, he happened to look up at the scoreboard and noted all the zeroes for the Yankees. And he didn't change.
"I was aware of it," Scherzer said of the no-hitter he was carrying. "I think once you get through the third inning, that's when you – if you see the line, not yours, but in the score box, you can see there's a zero in that spot. I was aware that I had it going.
"But that's the fun part of baseball and the fun part of pitching. Now you can continue to execute. Obviously, that means you're probably pitching pretty well. For me, it was no pressure at all to keep it going."

The Suzuki VL1500 Intruder is long, low and wide, very similar to Kawasaki's Vulcan 1500 in terms of power, overall feel and ride quality. The bottom line is this however; can you ride a bike with `Intruder' written ...

This Vegan Mulled Wine recipe uses maple syrup as its primary sweetener then utilizes allspice berries, cinnamon bark, orange peel and clove berries for a smooth, spicy wine that will soothe those winter blues. This vegan spiced wine is great for holiday parties because it's easy to make and it gets things started.
This Vegan Protein Power Granola recipe is great for a hearty first meal of the day because it's low in sugar, high in protein and high in flavor. It gets the bulk of its protein from hemp protein powder. It then utilizes natural sweeteners like maple syrup, chopped dates and raisins for a complex sweetness profile that won't send blood sugar levels through the roof, if you don't drown it in maple syrup anyway. Walnuts and pecans round out the crunch department in this vegan granola while providing a tasty contrast with the hemp powder.
This Vegan Tropical Paradise Granola recipe features shredded coconut, coconut oil, dried pineapple and dried mango. Cashew butter makes a creamy base that ties it all together. Savoring this vegan granola is kind of like going on vacation. Except without palm trees. And it's cheaper. And it tastes better.
This Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Pie recipe combines probably the three best flavor combinations in the entire dessert world. These three prominent flavors are then brought together in this vegan pie with brown rice syrup, non-dairy milk and a touch of salt. Use Flaky Pie Crust for best results.
