UCLA, like many state universities, gives graduate degrees in ancient history through the Department of History. The department now has four full-time faculty members in this field: Ronald Mellor (Ph.D., Classics, Princeton: Roman history); S. Scott Bartchy (Ph.D., History of Religion, Harvard: Early Christianity, the Hellenistic age); Ra'anan Boustan (Ph.D., Religion, Princeton); David Phillips (Ph.D., Classical Studies, University of Michigan). UCLA also has two Egyptologists within the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures.
Strong emphasis is placed on mastery of Greek and Latin, and students constantly take courses in the Department of Classics. For the Ph.D., competence in French and German is also required, along with Italian for those working in Roman history.
For the Ph.D., students present four fields for the preliminary examinations that are passed before writing a dissertation begins. Three of these must be in history (e.g., Greece, Rome, Byzantium), and the fourth may be either another history field or a related field from another department (e.g., Greek sculpture, Roman law, literary history, or palaeography). The preliminary examinations are normally taken after (say) three years of work in the Department. There are written examinations in the student's two major fields (normally Greek and Roman history). If these are passed, the student proceeds to an oral examination, which will cover all four fields.
Along the way, students will probably receive the M.A. degree, which normally calls for submission of three research papers written for courses.
Writing the dissertation is likely to take a couple of years. Thus good progress through the degree program would complete it within five years.
Financial aid is available. Outstanding candidates for admission may be offered "recruitment" scholarships that are good for four years. In two of the years the student will serve as a teaching assistant in a large undergraduate lecture course (commonly History 1, the History of Western Civilization). Other TAships are available, and almost all students in the ancient field obtain one. There are also dissertation fellowships awarded for the completion of this work. Opportunities exist as well to teach in the Classics Department as a TA (but those appointments are naturally made by them). Research assistantships and readerships round off the program of financial aid.
We encourage study abroad at, for example, the American Academy in Rome and the American School of Classical Studies, Athens. Several of our students have received fellowships for the summer seminar of the American Numismatic Society in New York.
We provide a high degree of attention from our faculty, for normally there are about eight students in our program in various stages. We are pleased to correspond with potential students.
Foreign Language Requirements:
(a) Ancient History: French, German, Latin and Greek.
(b) Ancient Near East: French, German, and two ancient languages, one of which should be either Akkadian, Egyptian, or Hebrew. The other ancient language may be Sumerian, Hittite, Ugaritic, Phoenician, Aramaic, Greek, or Latin, depending on individual programs. It is expected that the ancient languages, with all attendant problems of philological and textual criticism, will normally constitute the fourth field of the doctoral examination.
As a candidate for the Ph.D., you must meet (a) the special requirements for admission to the doctoral program listed above; and (b) the general requirements set forth under the Graduate Division. An excellent command of English, spoken and written, the ability to read at least two foreign languages (except for the field of U.S. History where only one foreign language is required), and an acquaintance with general history are expected of all candidates. You are required to complete at least one continuing two-or three-quarter seminar, or alternatively, a continuing sequence of at least two graduate courses approved by the GGCC. This seminar, or its alternative, must include completion of a substantial research paper based at least in part on primary sources.
All students must write a dissertation prospectus (which could be written for credit as a history 596 or 597) expected to contain: (a) a full statement of the dissertation topic; (b) an historiographical discussion of the literature bearing on the topic; (c) a statement of the methodology to be employed; and (d) a survey of the sources sufficient to demonstrate the viability of the topic. The prospectus must be approved by the dissertation adviser prior to the oral part of the qualifying examinations. After approval, copies will be given to each member of the examining committee.
Faculty serving on doctoral committees may require such courses as they deem necessary for preparation for qualifying examinations. Courses taken to fulfill M.A. degree requirements may also be used to satisfy Ph.D. requirements.
Written and Oral Qualifying Examinations:
Before admission to candidacy, you must pass written and oral examinations. Students with outstanding incompletes may not be permitted to sit for these exams.
In the written qualifying examinations, you are expected to show not only a mastery of your special subject, but also an adequate grasp of the wider field of historical knowledge and an ability to correlate historical data and to explain their significance. These examinations are designed to test not merely factual knowledge, but also your power of historical analysis and synthesis, critical ability, and capacity for reflective thinking. A knowledge of the history of any area includes a reasonable knowledge of its historiography and bibliography; of its geography; and of its political, cultural, economic, and other historical aspects.
In the oral examination, you are to be examined in four fields, one of which may be an approved field in anthropology, economics, geography, language and literature, philosophy, political science, or other allied subjects. This allied field must be comparable in size and scope to the history fields listed above. You should select the fields in consultation with your faculty adviser and must receive the Department's approval of all four fields not less than three months before the written qualifying examination is taken. You will need to obtain the "Field Committee Orals" form (orals committee) from the Graduate Office. A copy of "Steps for the Orals" can be obtained from the Graduate Office. A full-time graduate student must begin the written qualifying examinations not later than the end of the ninth quarter of graduate work (See Time-to-Degree)
The written qualifying examination normally includes the major field only. The oral examination will cover all four fields and will normally be held after the written examination. In most fields, the oral examination will be held shortly after the written examination or, at the discretion of the doctoral committee, as late as six months after the written examination. Both the written and oral examinations are to be considered by the committee as a whole in arriving at a judgment of your performance. The written qualifying examination is normally prepared and administered by the chair of the committee and read by the entire committee before the oral qualifying examination.
The written qualifying examination must be passed before the oral qualifying examination can be taken. The members of the doctoral committee determine whether or not an examination may be repeated (normally only once), based on their prognosis of your potential for successfully completing both the written and oral examinations within a specified period of time to be designated by the doctoral committee, but not to exceed one calendar year. The written qualifying examination is not to exceed eight (8) hours and must be turned in to the Graduate Adviser's Office no later than 5:00 pm of the day of the examination.

If you want to take notes by hand but also want to keep the notes digitally, be warned, you may have limited success with OCR software. One Note, my favourite piece of Microsoft software, seems to be the best option to creating digitised, handwritten notes. Kinda defeats the purpose of toting that Moleskin around though.

While this sounds like a good idea, I don't really see what advantages this would bring if they cant download them to the device as well. The Scoop says it only works when students are in close proximity, so what is the difference between looking at your screen or looking at their own? And how would I know they were looking at the slides, and not Facebook? Interested in thoughts from this group.....?

Finally! I downloaded the Microsoft apps a while back but was frustated by the fact that they would only open as read only documents.now users can access them and be able to use them for free without having to have a 365 account. You can also put them on your phone, although that has limited use for most of us.

Media Literacy is crucial in today's society. We are bombarded with messages urging us to buy this and look like that. Teaching young people about the messages being sent is vital if they are to be confident and informed citizens.

text: 5 Best Superhero Movie Ever, even better than Flesh Gordon.Trefusis | 24/11/2008 | See all Trefusis's reviews (243)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Top 10 Games Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer Top 10 Sport and Outdoor Reviewer After so many mediocre comic book movies over the past few years, Nolan finally nails it with what is a near perfect realization of a classic hero. It turns out that realism is the key, while the first two Batman films are still classics - this one shows how it should really be done. Nicholson was brilliant as The Jokey, but this time you get a genuinely creepy and believable villain.Ledger is simply mesmerizing and holds the whole film together, surrounded by a truly great cast. If you've not seen the film, then you'd quite rightly put down this Ledger hype to the fact he snuffed it just before release - but a breathing Ledger would still have garnered almost as much praise.The look of the film is different to; this is unlike any of the current action hero crop. This time Batman inhabits the neon world of the cop thriller, strange how all of Batman's previous fights seemed to take place at night - then again, he is a bat.For the most part it's a well balanced movie, with each character getting the right amount of screen time - although the set-up of a love triangle may try the patience a little.When compared blow-to-blow with a full on action movie it's fair to say that Dark Knight may be found wanting in terms of explosive spectacle - but there's still enough of the old Batman here to please everybody. However, like a lot of current epics it does slightly outstay its welcome at the end - and it's the final ten minutes that are the film's weakest. Having said that, most films seem to fall down at this stage - and considering the fantastic 142 preceding minutes, this is still five star entertainment.

Audio Adrenaline Premieres "Kings & Queens" Music Video and Radio Single
Christian Music News & Reviews
Audio Adrenaline - Kings and Queens (Exclusive Music Video Premiere) from audio-adrenaline on GodTube.
"It's just an incredible song about this idea of when we love the least of these, God wraps these little orphans in his majesty and they can become kings and queens," shares Mark Stuart of the song. "It gives you that idea that these are God's favorites, these little kids that have been forgotten. There's going to be a special place in heaven one day because of what they've been through here. It's just a triumphant, majestic song that just connects so deeply with Hands & Feet and the message of Audio A right now."
This music video debut follows in the footsteps of the announcement of the re-formed Audio Adrenaline with former dcTalk member and industry mainstay Kevin Max as lead vocalist, CCM vets Dave Ghazarian (Superchick) on guitar, Jared Byers (Bleach) on drums, and singer-songwriter Jason Walker playing on keys along with original member Will McGinnis on bass. With the same heart, passion and infectious musical prowess they developed as a band in the 1990's, multi-GRAMMY® award-winning Audio Adrenaline is indeed back and has put together a new lineup of like-minded musicians with the same common goal; to be the voice for orphans in Haiti and around the world.
The Know Hope Foundation, supporters of Audio Adrenaline and Hands & Feet Project, as well as record label Fair Trade Services, have joined them in this renewed mission to fund and market a new record from which net proceeds will go to Hands & Feet Project to continue growth and support of the nearly eight-year-old charity. Stay tuned for more information on the March 2013 release from Audio Adrenaline.
In 2004, the members of Audio Adrenaline founded the Hands & Feet Project. Inspired by fan reaction to the band's song "Hands and Feet," HAF is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing long-term, family-style care for orphaned and abandoned children with the love of Christ. They strive to raise a generation of orphaned children who will grow up to reach their God- given potential, while empowering first world citizens to partner with them in service at home and abroad.

Ground broken for Geneva School memorial
Geneva High School 1936 graduate Kathryn Strickler sat on the grounds where she had received her education on Saturday morning when community leaders gathered to break ground for a memorial to the former Geneva School.
In her lifetime, Strickler witnessed the demolition of two school buildings, including the one from which she graduated and the one that was most recently demolished.
"It's progress," said Strickler. "I hated to see the school go down but it's progress. I graduated from the old school and they tore it down. I saw both schools come to an end."
Strickler said that she attended school as Kathryn Cole and lived in a house across the street from the old school building where a car dealership now stands.
"I loved it," said Strickler of her Geneva school days. "We got disciplined but we had wonderful teachers. I was part of the National Youth Association back then. I worked in Mr. Hunt's (former principal) office for awhile."
Geneva residents and school alumni are currently in the process of raising funds for a memorial on the site of the school. Alan Baumgartner, who is heading up the project, said that the memorial would stand near the south entrance to the former school building. Construction of the cement pad and erection of the facade will begin in the immediate future.
In addition, those interested in supporting the project are invited to purchase bricks for a walkway at the site. Deadline for information and payment is August 31 of this summer. Construction of the brick walkway will begin as soon as engraved bricks are received in the fall. Donations are also being accepted toward memorial trees which will decorate the landscaping at the project.
"This building gave us a social center for so many people for such a long time," observed Baumgartner. "This will enable us to keep Geneva High School in our hearts. This is what the memorial is all about. There are so many memories for so many people that were made at this school.
"Visitors can come to this memorial and look at the member donors in the walkway," continued Baumgartner. "They can look down at the bricks and see classmates, administrators, friends and teachers. None of this would be possible without the generous contributions of alumni and friends who gave to purchase this land."
Baumgartner praised the Limberlost Conservation Association that was founded in 1947 for its involvement in contributing financially to the historical and memorial heritage of the Geneva community and surrounding area.
"For 65 years this organization has worked to preserve the heritage of this community," said Baumgartner. "It started with the Limberlost Cabin and then the Visitor's Center. Now they have stepped up once again here."
Baumgartner praised construction manager Mike Schwartz for purchasing and donating lights from the original site and Stan Mosser, for his stellar representation of Geneva Proud and its contribution to community heritage.
"I am honored by all the involvement, passion and support which made this possible," Baumgartner said. "This will be such an inspiration to all of us."
Sara Briggs, longtime school teacher and wife of former banker the late Jim (Jimmy) Briggs said that her husband would be absolutely delighted with the events surrounding the memorial.
"He would be so proud. I'm so glad that all four boys started school here," commented Briggs.
"I have so memories of school here," said Briggs' son, Andrew, a Geneva alumni who currently is president of Bank of Geneva. "I remember the ballgames and all of the teachers. This is one of those projects where people of the community have pulled together and it is coming out great."
Baumgartner said that it appears that the monument will stand almost exactly on the spot of the front doors.
"We examined the foundation and it appears that the monument will stand exactly where it had been located over the doors for so many years," said Baumgartner.
For additional information concerning donating toward the project, contact Alan Baumgartner at 260-433-2281 or email@example.com.

Low vision is a visual disability. Wearing glasses or contacts does not help. There is no medical or surgical treatment for low vision.
Legal blindness is when your vision test result is 20/200 or worse. But many people that are legally blind still have some low vision.
When you have low vision, you may have trouble with driving, reading, or doing small tasks, such as sewing or crafts. But you can make changes in your home and routines that help you stay safe and independent. Many services are available for you to get the training and support to function independently.
Many low vision aids are available.
If you are a very organized person, you may have to make only small changes to your home. If you are not naturally organized, you will want to develop routines that make life easier with low vision.
Everything has its place:
Get familiar with common things;
Label your things:
Remove things that you can trip on. Make changes to decrease your risk of falling.
Keep medicines organized in a cabinet so you know where they are. Follow these tips to make sure you are taking the correct medicine and the correct dose:
Learn to use a long white cane to help you get around on your own.

With its crisp alpine air, rugged terrain, and unique physical challenges, the great outdoors offers an excellent venue for athletes. Whatever your level of fitness, a hike in the woods may be just the change of pace you need. To fully enjoy day hiking, follow these simple steps.
Step 1: Choose an Appropriate Hike
Make sure you hike trails that suit your physical ability, not just for you but for others who are hiking with you. Take the time to research where you are going and the condition of your hiking party. Use detailed descriptions of trails, including distance, altitude, difficulty, and estimated time to complete the hike. Trail guides are among the best resources for hiking information.
Choosing the right trip is only a small part of what you will need when you hit the trail.
Step 2: Fill Your Pack
You will definitely want to carry a daypack—a lightweight backpack—filled with these essentials:
- Water—Drink plenty of water. The amount of water you need for a longer hike can get heavy. You may want to get water from streams along the way. Do no assume that all water from streams is safe. Use a water filter or purifying tablets if you use stream water.
- Food—Choose high-energy goodies that will not disintegrate on the trail: energy bars, granola, bagels, pita bread, candy bars, oranges, apples, and raisins.
- Extra clothing—Weather in the mountains is very unpredictable. Be ready for anything—cold, heat, wind, rain, or snow.
- First aid kit—In a waterproof container, stash some antibiotic ointment, band aids, moleskin, and an ace bandage.
- Flashlight, waterproof matches—In case sunset sneaks up on you, you will be prepared.
- Sunscreen—The thinner air at high elevations offers less protection from the sun's rays, so wear sunscreen year round.
- Raingear—Hikers in the west can expect a daily afternoon thundershower in the summer, but all hikers should be prepared.
Cell phones can be great for navigation, but they do not always receive a signal in mountainous areas. Make sure you take along a trail guide, compass, and map. Learn how to use them before heading out. Many outdoor stores offer short courses on using maps and compasses.
Step 3: Dress Appropriately
Like with any sport, the proper equipment is essential. First and foremost, make sure your hiking shoes and boots fit properly and are comfortable. The footwear should match the kind of hiking that you plan on doing. Boots however, are not the only equipment you need to when you hike. Here are some other items you will need to take along:
- Two pairs of socks—a lightweight liner (eg, polypropylene or polyester) and a cushioning sock made out of wool
- Warm, waterproof gloves
- Hat
Mountain weather is generally cooler, cloudier, and windier than the climate in lowland areas, making improper dressing a serious health risk. Layering helps you stay cool when active and warm when at rest. Just add and remove clothes as needed.
- Inner layer —Wear close-fitting long underwear made from polypropylene or silk, which should dry quickly and pull perspiration away from your skin.
- Middle layer—This layer should be light-weight and breathable—flannel, wool, down, or fleece. You may want extra middle layers in colder climates.
- Outside layer—To block wind and rain, try Supplex (wind-resistant) or Gore-Tex (great for rain and snow).
Avoid wearing cotton. It will hold moisture on your body and interfere with temperature regulation.
Step 4: Stay on Track
Now that you are ready to head off into the wilderness, be sure to stay on the trail. This is easy to do if you follow the blazes, which are two-inch by six-inch marks painted on trees and rocks along the trails. Once you get above the tree line, look for small piles of rocks called cairns to stay on track. And always have your trail map handy.
Whenever possible, hike with other people. Allow the slowest person in your group to set the pace, especially if kids have come along, and take frequent breaks for water, snacks, and rest.
Step 5: Stay Healthy
Hiking requires the same cardiovascular fitness that running , cycling, and other endurance sports demand, but relies on different muscle groups, which can leave you aching in unfamiliar places.
Regular workouts can help you stay ready for your next hike. Concentrate on your leg muscles and core during strength training. Keep in mind you will need to combine that with some cardiovascular training for endurance.
Trekking poles (or ski poles) provide extra stability on challenging terrain and take some of the strain off ankles, knees, and hips. To keep your feet comfortable, be aware of sensitive areas and treat them with moleskin before they progress into painful blisters, and break in new hiking boots before taking them on a serious trek.
Altitude Sickness
If you plan on hiking in higher elevations over 7,000 feet, remember that the higher you go, the less oxygen there is available. Headache, dizziness, and fatigue are all signs of acute mountain sickness. Prevention is your best weapon. Condition your body by taking time in advance to get used to being in a high altitude environment. During your hike, you will want to keep a steady pace and breathe in slow, regular patterns. Deep breathing helps offset the lack of oxygen.
Dehydration can occur as a result of strenuous activity, high altitudes, and not drinking enough water. It can give you a headache and make you feel tired, irritable, and dizzy. Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your hike.
Step 6: Be Alert for Critters
Consult your trail guide to learn which animals you may meet along your trek. Check with the local ranger to find out if there are any special rules you need to follow.
If you plan to hike in desert areas, avoid snakes, like venomous rattlesnakes. Hiking boots which go above the ankle are advisable.
Large Mammals
In woody areas, you may encounter bears, moose, or deer. It is important to know what to do if you have an unexpected encounter in the wild:
- Make noise and slowly back away
- Do not feed or approach the animal
- Do not run away
Bring along bug spray and insect repellent. And always stay on the marked trail to avoid deer ticks, which can cause lyme disease . Staying on the trail can also help you avoid poison ivy .
Happy Trails
By following these steps, you will be prepared to enjoy your time in the woods. To help preserve the woods for others, follow the rules of low-impact hiking: leave only footprints, take only memories, and kill only time.

amazing how the same device gets reinvented/re-marketed - remember the Bullworker?
Wasn't this the original Bowflex in the 70's?
Yes, I had a Bullworker in the 70s that was like this but was better built. As I recall, it cost a lot more than this, though.

Ride in a nuclear sub to see how formerly top secret technology is opening a new window into the world of the deep ocean.
The technology was developed to find ultra-quiet submarines as they patrol the ocean depths. For years it was a state secret, a valuable weapon in the Cold War. Today, these advanced acoustic techniques are helping rewrite the book of what we know about whales.
Join host Bill Kurtis as he dives beneath the ocean aboard the nuclear submarine USS MONTPELIER, which uses sound in much the same way as whales do: to hunt, evade capture and navigate. SOUNDS OF DISCOVERY documents the first-ever tagging of the elusive sperm whale, as well as some of the most remarkable, face-to-face encounters with whales ever filmed. Finally, discover how satellites, hydrophones and other acoustic devices are rapidly expanding our knowledge of these leviathans of the deep.
Far below the ocean, a new generation of scientists are exploiting military technology to learn the secrets of the whales.

The long-suppressed stories of American individuals and companies that helped the Soviet dictator are finally revealed.
Before the Cold War, before Khruschev declared Stalin a mass murderer of his own people, American industry worked at the side of Uncle Joe as he struggled to implement the grandiose goals of his Five Year Plan.
YANKS FOR STALIN reveals the extent to which American labor and expertise contributed to Stalin's massive undertaking. See how the Depression drove executives, consultants, engineers, skilled laborers and even citizen volunteers to the Soviet Union. Rare footage shows the disparate fates that awaited them there: the white collar Americans received privileged treatment, while regular workers and volunteers lived and worked under horrific conditions alongside their Soviet counterparts. As one man recalls, -men froze, hungered and suffered, but the construction work went on with a disregard for individuals and a mass heroism seldom paralleled in history. The program also looks at how history has manipulated the facts, from Russian propaganda to the efforts of U.S. companies to hide their contributions to the Communist regime.
Here is the fascinating chronicle of the improbable union between the forces of capitalism and one of the most infamous dictators of the 20th century.

The chapters on vitamins and minerals were especially interesting and informative.read more
It was a well written, easy to read, and kept my attention better than most textbooks.
The weight! It was very large and cumbersome. The print was also very small and the glossary didn't label a lot of crucial concepts I felt.read more
It had such extensive information on the chemistry of different foods and this was helpful when I was analyzing my diet!
To make this book better would be more examples. The chapter that covered pregnancy and nutrition was very interesting because it went into detail but didn't bore the reader.read more
The least helpful part of this book I would say was chapter 5. Lipids are a very important part of nutrition but it went so in depth even though I didn't need to know the information for Nutrition 200. The book was great but the professor could have chosen a different book. I could see this book being very helpful to anyone that is taking a difficult Nutrition course or just wants to know a lot more about nutrition.

Starfires turn in record setting opener
South Adams scored a school record 11 touchdowns Friday night in its varsity football season opener, all of them coming on the ground, as a potent ground game overwhelmed visiting Winchester 76-12.
The Starfires accumulated 585 total yards on the ground, with three runners going over the century mark. Marcus Rich led the way with 156 yards on six carries, Cole Farlow added 135 yards on seven carries and Zach Morgan had 101 yards on 12 carries.
That number could have easily been higher, but South Adams did all it could to let up on the gas pedal in the second half.
Justin Wygant carried the ball just two times, but racked up 83 yards. Dustin Wanner added 65 yards and thre...

Castelli Estremo Gloves $89.95
Cold isn't an excuse.
With the right gear, you don't have to limit your riding to a dank basement or crowded spin class at the gym. Gloves like Castelli's Estremo offer the coverage and weather protection for pedaling through those dark winter months.
Not only do these gloves sport wind- and water-resistant WindStopper X-Fast fabric on the back of the hand, they're equipped with a fleece liner. The liner keeps your paws warm, but it also contributes to comfort by wicking perspiration and transferring it to the outer WindStopper Layer. This combination of warmth retention and weather defense lets the Estremo confidently lead a full-frontal winter assault.
But warmth, weather protection, and perspiration management is only one aspect to a sub-freezing cycling glove. The connection to your bicycle is just as important, and the Estremo delivers with a gripy and durable fabric for the palm and fingers. This offers excellent feedback for control, accurate shifts, and confident braking. The palm is also treated to a vibration dampening palm for reduced fatigue on those longer rides.
A microsuede thumb panel offers a soft wiping surface, and the wide neoprene cuff ensures The Estremo locks out all cold air. The Castelli Estremo Gloves come in Black and sizes Small through XX-Large.

Chunky & Strong
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These certainly tow the line. So far I have gone to 20F and they are still more than adequate. My only complaint is that they are a bit bulky, once they are on... you can't do much with your hands other than ride and shift. I don't mind the extra velcro around the cuff, it is critical on windy days. I have yet to get rained on with these gloves, I'll update the post next rain-shower. If you want Castelli's coldest glove, Estremo is a solid buy.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So happy with these gloves. Probably order slightly larger than you normally would. Cuts wind excellent, keeps my hands dry and warm. Best winter gloves i have ever owned. For the folks that say they are not good below freezing, well, probably true, but I don't ride outside beyond a commute to work when the temps drop below freezing so i don't care. they are great in the mid 30's through 50 degrees.

The fit was a little tight, but they are warm and keep your hands dry.
Decent, but not "extreme"
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I bought these hoping for a big upgrade over my semi-windproof medium weight $15 Nashbar winter gloves, and for something warmer than my mid weight Garneau and Defeet gloves.These are -- obviously -- way better. That said, they are pretty ineffective below 30 degrees. On a bunch of recent rides in the 20s with winds anywhere from 5-15 mph, my fingers felt pretty cold most of the distance. Above 30, they're great -- and above 40, they'd be way too much. That narrow a band of temperature suitability may restrict how much use I'll get out of them. I used the Castelli size chart, which indicated size L, & the gloves fit snugly (but not too tightly -- and given the padding, I wouldn't want to size up). The long cuff is a nice touch for those of us with long arms (though yes, the Velcro is indeed "aggressive"). A small note, but maybe significant: the nose wipe fabric is very smooth, and ends up feeling way too harsh. Or maybe I just have a delicate schnozz. At $90, I was hoping for more.
Peter Hamm
Warm enough.
Was hoping to find the glove to end all gloves. These aren't it. Let me explain. Took them out in minus 7 degree weather and the gloves didn't cut it. Everything else worked fine. The Castelli WS balaclava and Diluvio 16 shoe covers worked, but these didn't quite cut it. Oh well, the quest continues.
Steve R
Upper 30's and up
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Let me start by saying I generally have more problems than many others with cold fingers, so these may work better for others at low temperatures. I use these as my in between gloves - between lightly insulated gloves for upper 40's and up, and Lobster glove temperatures which start at mid 30's. The size chart is wrong for sure, I ordered my first set by the chart which put me in the middle of a medium, had to return for a large size which fits snug. The fingers are small in diameter so I can't see being able to use liners effectively in these to make them more effective at lower temperatures. They are a bit bulky however don't bunch on the bars or restrict movement for shifting etc. My second set (the large size that fit right) had to be returned for a replacement as the velcro that is part of the base of the glove came unstitched after a few rides. The replacements are doing fine. They can be a bit cumbersome getting them loose due to the aggressive velcro. Overall they fit an unfulfilled need for me however I was disappointed they would work for me at lower temperatures.
down to the 20s
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great pair of gloves that have worked extremely well for daily commuting in the Northeast when it gets really cold. I've been using them when it gets into the 20s and my hands have stayed warm for at least 30 minutes. I wish Castelli had not used velcro on the cuffs - it's stiff and awkward, but that's my only complaint. The grip on these (as well as the other Castelli gloves) are great. They out-perform the Assos Fugu gloves by a long shot. One note, I normally wear a small in the Castelli gloves, but had to size up to a medium in these - they have a lot of padding that makes the fit run small.
get 'em!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
the last couple of years when the temp dips into the 30's or below, i've been using lobster gloves combined with wool gloves. this combination is warm and allows me extra space to put a chemical packet in if needed (necessary with this combination when it's sub-freezing), but dexterity was awful and the lobsters would occasionally slip on the bars/hoods. so i thought i'd try these out, based on all the great reviews. so far, i'm quite pleased! i've ridden with them for a couple hours in temps down to 21F with wind chill taking it down into the low teens; and that's before you factor in the wind chill i was creating myself by moving at about an 18 mph average. in this, they were fine and i basically didn't even think about my hands. and this is with just this one pair of gloves; no other glove liners, covers, or chemical packets! on the flipside, i've ridden with them in ~37F temps and my hands got cold from sweating too much! so they certainly do have a top end to their functional range as well.
grip with them is excellent. i hope it lasts. i've had to remove them a couple of times during rides and haven't had any issues with them wanting to turn themselves inside out or getting my hands back in, etc. dexterity is MUCH better than lobsters (obviously) and drastically improves the bike "feel" (on the bars). you can do small things like zip/unzip jackets as needed, but i'm not sure you could do bike maintenance or change a flat with them on. but that's true with any glove that will get you down below the freezing mark. i've not yet ridden with them in precipitation but honestly for the range these are intended (freezing or below) i usually stay in during snow/ice storms or at least wait until it passes. ice road riding is no fun. construction-wise, i give these top marks. they seem very well made with quality stitching and fabrics all over and the high cuff velcro closure is excellent. i anticipate they will wear quite well and last a while.

Long review, but a good one.
Great gloves, kept me warm cycling @ 20F
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is my first pair of Castelli cycling gloves (I'm just beginning to get into Castelli gear now). Took them out twice for rides that started in the low 20F (11F with windchill) and ended in the high 20s, maybe hitting 30F. Started out a bit cold, but once I got warmed up, the gloves kept me nice and warm for 30-40 mile rides. Would think they could go below 20 and still keep my hands warm.
My hands measure 7"from base of palm to top of middle finger. That makes me either a small or a medium per Castelli sizing. BC only had the medium so that's what I got. It fit well, a little bit long in the fingers, but not excessively so. It was still easy to change gears, brake, etc. I have tried on the Lightness glove and the small fits great, but the small Chiro Due might be a bit too tight. If they had a small Estremo, I would try those.
The gloves are fairly thick relative to other cycling gloves I have (Gore Xenon), but you feel that as extra warmth when you start out. The palm of the glove feels a little 'fleshy', like there was too much material there, but it didn't interfere with handling the bike at all.
Great glove, bought a second pair as soon as BC had another one in. Highly recommended!
size up and never look back
A quality technical glove with attention to detail. The cuff takes a little effort to get on and off. However, the weathertight seal is worth the effort. It took about a week of daily wear for the lining to conform to my fingers without piling up at the tips. Sub 20F is a bit cold for these gloves. Performed perfect in 20F-35F. Definitly size up.
Nice gloves - run small
Quality seemed good, however the sizing appears to be a bit misleading. The 2XXL is an XL in my book. I had to send them back. RealCyclist makes a return so easy I still recommend you try them.

Disabled Chicago paramedic is now a Cook County Forest Preserve cop

Updated: October 18, 2012 6:04AM
A hand injury Gregory J. Serratore suffered while trying to fix a stalled ambulance 32 years ago kept him from returning to work as a paramedic.
So Serratore made a deal to leave the Chicago Fire Department.
He's been collecting disability checks of about $14,500 a year ever since — about $5,000 less than the $19,776 he was pulling in as a paramedic.
Despite his claim of permanent disability, Serratore eventually found another government job — as a police officer with the Cook County Forest Preserve District.
He landed that job after writing on his application that he was in "excellent" physical condition, according to the latest finding of a Chicago Sun-Times investigation into police and fire disability-pay excesses.
Serratore was working at Holy Cross Hospital when he joined the fire department as a paramedic on Feb. 4, 1980, at 23.
Eight months later, his ambulance stalled at 67th and State. While trying to fix a fan blade to get the vehicle going, he cut his left hand, according to city records.
On April 22, 1982, Serratore went on disability leave. He would never return to the fire department. He was 26 years old.
In all, records show he has gotten more than $425,000 in disability checks since 1982. He'll be able to draw those checks until his 65th birthday and then begin collecting a city pension.
Now 55 and living in Crestwood, Serratore, who declined interview requests, has been getting disability checks longer than all but one other person getting disability pay from the Municipal Employees' Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago, the taxpayer-subsidized pension plan under which he was covered. It no longer covers paramedics.
Nine years after going on disability leave from the fire department, Serratore applied to be a forest preserve district cop — the application in which he described his physical condition as "excellent."
It was an unusual situation. Memos went back and forth between the forest preserve district and city pension officials, who determined that state law allowed Serratore to work as a police officer for the forest preserves and keep on getting his city disability pay, too.
On May 2, 1991 — 10 days after Serratore got hired — forest preserve Police Chief Steve Castans got a memo from Sgt. John Tinetti stating that "the fact that Mr. Serratore is employed elsewhere will not affect his disability payments as long as his permanent disability continues. Mr. Serratore is required to submit to a physical yearly for the benefit fund to maintain his disability status."
But Serratore hasn't been examined since 2003, when pension officials say "his doctor stated duration of disability was lifelong."
After Castans hired Serratore, the disabled-paramedic-turned-rookie-cop underwent 441 hours of training at the Chicago Police academy.
Serratore was a canine officer for the forest preserve district before the canine unit was disbanded in 2009.
Among city workers on disability leave, Serratore's case is unusual because he went to work for a government agency funded in part by Chicago property taxpayers. That's something that disabled Chicago cops are forbidden from doing under Illinois law.
Officials with the city pension fund continue to list Serratore as permanently disabled.
Asked about that in light of his employment as a police officer, James Mohler, the fund's executive director, said: "The fund was notified by the medical director of the Chicago Fire Department that Mr. Serratore was not qualified for firefighting duty. The fund has also received statements from doctors stating that Mr. Serratore's disability is lifelong and permanent."
After cutting his hand while trying to get his ambulance moving in 1980, Serratore also filed a worker's compensation claim against the city of Chicago and got a settlement of $24,363, records show.
Since going to work for the forest preserve district, Serratore has filed five more worker's comp cases, claiming on-the-job injuries.
Under state law, Chicago police officers and firefighters cannot file such claims.
Serratore's latest claim involves his left shoulder, which he says he hurt three years ago while trying to arrest a 76-year-old man, and then reinjured while adjusting his position while seated at a desk chair at work.
Altogether, Serratore has won $60,600 in worker's comp settlements from the city and the forest preserves. And two of his cases against the forest preserve district have yet to be decided by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission.
