I am sure you have heard the oft-quoted statement, which is attributed to St. Francis:
"Preach the Gospel always! When necessary, use words."Though the reality is, he never said it. There is no documentation for hundreds of years after his death with any attribution of this quote to St. Francis. Therefore, it is apocryphal.
The sentiment behind the quote is about Christians who don't live as they ought to and need to work on this aspect first. This is true enough. All of us need to work on how we treat others, what we do with our time, how we live out the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, etc.
Hypocrisy is a terrible thing.
We see that St. Francis agreed that we all need this personal change and transformation of life through a conversion to Jesus. Francis decided he wanted to live a radical life of poverty and service to Jesus Christ. He started to cast off all the trappings of the world and lived for God alone. In the poverty of spirit, which he formed, he found a great call to help others grow closer to the love of Christ.
This love propelled him out into the world to preach Good News to others, while loving them with acts of service. His preaching was powerful, not only because he was a good orator, but because his love for God was reflected in his deeds.
Both his life and his words were a critical part of his mission as an evangelist.
St. Francis never said the phrase above and he never would have, because it leaves out the heart of evangelization - helping others come to know Jesus - by proclaiming His name!
Others cannot know Jesus unless we talk about Him!
St. Francis knew (and so does the Church) that evangelization is NEVER complete, until the saving message of the Gospel is proclaimed. The Church repeats this over and over. Here are but a few statements (emphasis added):
"Jesus began to preach and say, 'Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.'" Matt 4:17
"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect," - 1 Pet 3:15
"Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel" -1 Cor. 9:16
"Go into the whole world, preach the Gospel to every creature" -Matt 28:19
"For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord" - 2 Cor 4:5
"Those who have received the Good News and who have been gathered by it into the community of salvation can and must communicate and spread it." -Paul VI, EN
"even the finest witness will prove ineffective in the long run if it is not explained, justified - what Peter called always having "your answer ready for people who ask you the reason for the hope that you all have" - and made explicit by a clear and unequivocal proclamation of the Lord Jesus. The Good News proclaimed by the witness of life sooner or later has to be proclaimed by the word of life. There is no true evangelization if the name, the teaching, the life, the promises, the kingdom and the mystery of Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God are not proclaimed." -Paul VI, EN
"a necessity lies upon the Church, and at the same time a sacred duty, to preach the Gospel. And hence missionary activity today as always retains its power and necessity." -Vatican II, AG
"an apostolate of this kind does not consist only in the witness of one's way of life; a true apostle looks for opportunities to announce Christ by words addressed either to non-believers with a view to leading them to faith, or to the faithful with a view to instructing, strengthening, and encouraging them to a more fervent life. "For the charity of Christ impels us" (2 Cor. 5:14)." -Vatican II, AAWe can see there is OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE that evangelization is not effective or complete until the Good News of Jesus Christ is proclaimed!
St. Paul tells us that he was an "ambassador for Christ." (2 Cor 5:20). An ambassador, in the time of Paul, was a person given the full authority of the leader they represented.
Therefore, Paul is now an emissary for Christ and carries the saving message of the Lord with him. He is commanded and empowered to share it to others. Yet, it is not only St. Paul and the other apostles who were given this charge, but all who are baptized into Christ.
We have all been baptized/confirmed in order to share in the ministry of Christ to all souls on earth. Do we share the gospel with others when we have the opportunity through both our deeds and words? Let us pray that Christ will give us both the opportunities to witness to his truth in our every day lives and the grace to do share the saving message of Jesus with love.
St. Francis pray for us!

I believed the 4am infomercial. And only $29.99 for a Life-Coach-In-A-Box seemed like a steal. Then when they threw in a collection of mystery soul artist music, I took the bait. Unfortunately, when the cassette tapes(!) arrived, the coach was Fabio and the music was that gold LP of Barry White's Greatest Hits. Make-out music.
In a dream, the Riddler and Alex Trabek asked for this Saturday night's drunk drive time shift theme - songs and quotes that ask a question.

Well wait, this requires some background before the blockbuster news story of the year:
During the last week's joint session of Congress, Congressman Joe Wilson heckled President Obama by shouting, "You Lie" during Obama's speech. It sounded dead-on familiar to me - but from 20 years ago!

Fight brewing over transgender person in Evergreen College locker roomon November 2, 2012 @ 7:41 am (Updated: 3:01 pm - 11/2/12 )
A group that takes on legal issues surrounding religion has sent a letter to the college in Olympia.
It complains about the 45-year-old student with male genitals, who dresses as a woman.
The letter claims there has been a problem for years of men using the women's locker facilities, particularly the sauna.
Jeremy Tedesco, an attorney for some of the families who say the behavior is inappropriate, say the school needs to put a stop to the policy immediately.
"They're saying that their non-discrimination policy, which prohibits gender identity and gender expression discrimination, doesn't require them to leave the locker room and not come back," Tedesco told the Dori Monson Show. "It's just non-discrimination gone wild. It shows the problem with these expanding non-discrimination policies, which are very popular nowadays."
In response to complaints, the college has put up screens to shield the adults from children who use Evergreen's pool and locker room.
Installing curtains and requesting "that young girls change behind the curtains does not solve the problem," wrote David Hacker, Senior Legal Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom.
Critics say the school, police, and prosecutors are ignoring indecency laws. The college says it's following its non-discrimination policy.
Tedesco explained that a person is allowed to define whether they're protected by his gender identity, gender expression discrimination prohibition simply by declaring what they are.
"As long as they make that declaration, they have to be able to use the women's locker room at a college or anywhere in the state. I don't think that's the way these policies should work out, but that's how Evergreen is saying they're going to imply theirs."
Tedesco said they've sent a letter to the school requesting they put a stop to the policy immediately, but they have not yet had a response from Evergreen.

What explains the massacre at Waterloo? Why was Gallipoli such a disaster? What role did luck play at Hastings? Battlefield Detectives puts these and other famous battles under the microscope by revisiting the sitessome little changed, others transformed completelywhere the fighting took place.

Geologists are finding answers in the landscape and psychiatrists in the minds of the warriors, while climatologists and meteorologists are showing how weather was often crucial. From firearms experts and forensic scientists to crowd-behavior specialists, genealogists, and engineers, a wide range of authorities unlock the long-buried secrets of the battlefields.

2014 Mini John Cooper Works GP
by Matt Davis (RSS feed) on Nov 16th, 2012 at 12:01PM
About three weeks prior to this brief yet balls-to-the-wall drive on the Spanish island of Mallorca, I saw that Mini USA announced pricing for the keenly anticipated Mini John Copper Works GP. And that number would be – *a-hem* – $39,950 for starters. I am always intent upon finding the pinnacle of what a certain car promises me, and almost at any cost. Almost. When I think "steaming hatchback," I think of something exactly like this Mini GP, and the steep price doesn't squelch my pleasure. They're only building 2,000 of them anyway, and the units coming to the US will start... Read More

The Billabong Invert Board Short is kind of like a flying saucer, delivering out-of-this-world performance. But while the Invert Board Short is made from eco-friendly recycled material, the UFO is made from precious metals mined from distant planets just before they were obliterated with an ion cannon. Just in case Earth is next, get your surf in while you can.
- Recycler Zero Gravity stretch material provides unprecedented comfort in the water while the material made from recycled plastic bottles works the water clean
- H2 repel treatment assists the short in drying quickly so you won't be dripping wet at the taco stand
- Flexi Fly offers surf-specific comfort that won't pinch the boys on the paddle out

Good Fit
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Comfortable & a true fit. These shorts come midway through my knees and the stretch material allows comfort and maneuverability. I bought the Neo Green and the picture is true to life.
how much does the model neo lime Camo cost?...
how much does the model neo lime Camo cost? 64,95 or $42.22
Joelle Raynes
Hey there! Thanks for your question. The Neo Lime Camo color is not on sale, it's currently at full price of $64.95.

Super Stretchy Shorts
If you are looking for an average length/fit, stretchy set of board shorts, look no further. The stretch helps out, when you're out in the water and don't want to be limited by your movement. I use these for wakeboarding and they're great. Waist size is true, as well.
This is it, the ultimate in stretch & comfort. Billabong's high end 4-way Platinum quad stretch. This is a recycled stretch from waterbottles for my eco friendly friends, and it's lightweight but not clingy like the less expensive stretch fabrics on the market. Quick dry zepel coated and the new colors are insane

11-time author and professor at Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business listed five companies having the worst CEOs in 2012. The top companies listed for 2012 were:
1. Best Buy Co. Inc. ( BBY): Operates as a retailer of consumer electronics, home office products, entertainment products, appliances, and related services primarily in the United States, Europe, Canada, and China. Market cap at $3.89B
2. Chesapeake Energy Corporation ( CHK): Engages in the acquisition, development, exploration, and production of natural gas and oil properties in the United States. Market cap at $11.21B.
3. Avon Products Inc. ( AVP): Engages in manufacturing and marketing beauty and related products in worldwide. Market cap at $6.11B.4. Zynga, Inc. ( ZNGA): The Company develops online games designed for play on social networking sites. Market cap at $1.9B. 5.Bankia SA. ( BNKXF): provides banking services to individuals, small and medium enterprises, large corporations, and public and private institutions in Spain. Last year, the companies listed included: 1. Netflix, Inc. ( NFLX): Provides subscription based Internet services for TV shows and movies in the United States and internationally. Market cap at $5.03B. 2. Research In Motion Limited ( RIMM): Designs, manufactures, and markets wireless solutions for the worldwide mobile communications market. Market cap at $6.16B. 3. Hewlett-Packard Company ( HPQ): Offers various products, technologies, software, solutions, and services to individual consumers and small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), as well as to the government, health, and education sectors worldwide. Market cap at $27.6B. There are things more risky than leadership for a company's prospects, such as politics (policy) and the stability of a country. After that, leadership can mean enormous growth or catastrophic failure. The companies listed for 2012 are worth studying. Growth in online shopping is hurting same store sales for Best Buy. Its Price of Profitability (as measured by Kapitall) now stands at just 5. Avon (AVP) did not improve shareholder value after turning down a takeover offer this year. The company is now worth $6 billion. In the resource sector, the natural gas price plunge that continued from 2011 turned leveraged assets into liabilities for Chesapeake (CHK). Unsurprisingly, Zynga (ZNGA)'s CEO made the list after its shares lost investors an enormous amount of money. The ill-timed strategic divesture from Facebook (FB) is putting pressure on the company to grow in other markets. Zynga now needs to grow in the mobile space, at a time when profits in this space is itself a challenge – unless the game is a hit. In the Spanish market, Bankia (BNKXF) earned a worst CEO title. The chairman, Rodrigo Rato, is being investigated for fraud. Written by KAPITALL's Chris Lau .

Take one look at Bounkit's gigantic multicolored cabochon necklaces, dazzling starfish-shaped rings, and quartz flower earrings, and you'll instantly recognize the work of someone who's passionate about jewelry. Designed by company founder Hassan Bounkit — a New York-based alumnus of the fashion houses Ferragamo and Nicole Miller — these handcrafted costume wonders derive inspiration from modern architecture, Art Deco glamour, and Bounkit's native country of Morocco. Bounkit mixes carved quartz, lapis, amethyst, garnet, and other semi-precious stones with polished wood and 24-karat gold; unique color combinations and shapes make each piece seem more like a miniature artwork than an accessory. Salma Hayek, Oprah, and Iman are just a few of the celebrities who adore Bounkit's kaleidoscopic jewelry. Naturally, we do too.
A mix of versatile adornments for your everyday look.
Pearl earrings, quartz cuffs, and more in a kaleidoscope of eye-catching colors.
What to wear to the holiday bash at work? Gilt Editorial Director Tracey Lomrantz Lester gives USA Today readers the inside scoop on picture-perfect party dressing with head-to-toe outfit ideas you'll love: Think endlessly flattering sheaths and luxe tuxedo suiting pieces, polished off with dazzling crystal jewelry and high-shine metallic heels.
Get inspired by the glamour of Hollywood (and A-list stunners like Jennifer Lawrence and Kerry Washington) with this array of show-stopping designer gowns — from best-dressed list favorites like Marchesa, Monique Lhuillier, and Giorgio Armani — and standout accents, from jewel-covered box clutches to strappy stiletto heels.

Following the Format's breakup in 2008, frontman Nate Ruess took his songwriting skills to Steel Train's Jack Antonoff and Anathallo's Andrew Dost, both of whom shared a similar affinity for vintage pop music and quirky, melodic hooks. The trio began a series for collaborations in Antonoff's parents' living room and soon enlisted the help of producer Steven McDonald, who recorded their work and handled bass duties. After enlisting the help of former Jellyfish keyboardist Robert Joseph Manning, Jr., who arranged several tracks, the bandmates completed work on their first record. Dubbing themselves Fun., the group introduced their sprightly sound in 2009 with the debut album Aim and Ignite. - All Music Guide

Seven records fall on day one
February 14, 2013
Victoria Burcham established a new 100 backstroke mark on the opening leg of the 400 medley relay. (Wilmington file)
AKRON – Seven Wilmington College school records fell Thursday as the Fightin' Quakers competed in the first day of the Ohio Athletic Conference Swimming & Diving Championships at Akron University.
"We have broken seven records in a meet before, but never in one day," said head coach Trip Breen. "Once we got over the first-day nerves and started racing, we performed well."
Sophomore Mason Harris (Westerville, OH/Central) broke the school's 500 freestyle mark twice, first swimming 4:49.06 in the morning preliminaries and then covering the distance in 4:45.41. He missed earning all-conference recognition by 0.32 seconds.
Senior Julie Creech (Dayton, OH/Centerville) kept the Creech name in the WC 500 record books. Harris broke the record previously held by her brother, John, in the morning session. She finished the distance in 5:18.90 to finish fifth.
The men's 400 medley race had two records fall in the evening finals. The team of junior Mikey Spraul (Cincinnati, OH/Princeton), Corbin Hellwarth (Celina, OH/Parkway), Harris and freshman David Hawk (Edison, OH/Mount Gilead) established a new mark with a time of 3:38.89. Spraul opened the event by swimming the 100 backstroke in 51.98 for a new school record. The team finished third, just missing all-conference accolades.
Not to be outdone by the men, the women's 400 medley relay team established a new mark of their own. Covering the distance in 4:10.50, the quartet of junior Victoria Burcham (Urbana, OH/Urbana), freshman Rachel Drake (Fairfield, OH/Fairfield), senior Julie Creech (Dayton, OH/Centerville) and sophomore Caroline Kruczynski (Grove City, OH/Central Crossing) moved into the WC swimming annals. Burcham, like Spraul, set a new 100 backstroke mark by kicking off the 400 medley race in 1:02.0.
Participation-wise, the men's 50 freestyle provided the best event for the Fightin' Quakers. Five swimmers – junior Alex Fout (Westerville, OH/Westerville), junior Casey Thompson (Liberty Township, OH/Lakota East), senior Dave Heidrich (Xenia, OH/Beavercreek), Hawk and Spraul all scored for WC.
Breen also pointed out senior Shelby Zornes (Milan, IN/Milan) beat her previous high-mark by 14 seconds, finishing the 500 freestyle in 5:46.66.

Stimulant medications are thought to work by stimulating the brain to make available slightly more of the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that help our brain cells communicate more efficiently. This increased efficiency allows us to better focus our attention, control impulses, organize, plan, and stick to routines—leading to a reduction in the core ADHD symptoms of hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity.
Parents of a child with ADHD who is taking stimulants may notice a decrease in the number of accidental injuries their child experiences as her impulsivity declines. They may also observe that her social relationships may improve as her intensity decreases, her social judgment improves, she responds more positively to others, and she is able to communicate more effectively. The significant improvement in the child's school behavior—sometimes to the point that it is indistinguishable from that of her classmates—is particularly satisfying to most children and their families. Children treated with stimulants for ADHD can also enjoy a longer attention span, an increased ability to stay focused on a task, and more productivity and accuracy in schoolwork.
Once again, stimulants are generally considered highly effective and safe medications. They are, though, categorized by the US Drug Enforcement Administration as Schedule II drugs—medications that have been approved for medical use but have a high potential for abuse in adults if they are not used properly. Because of this, the rules for prescribing stimulants may differ from those for other medications (such as antibiotics) from state to state. Although there is a lot of discussion in the media about the potential for the abuse of stimulant medications, they don't produce speed-like or euphoric effects in children or adolescents when used properly and restricted to normal treatment doses. In addition, the use of stimulants by children with ADHD has not been found to put adolescence at an increased risk for street drug use.
Stimulants work similarly in people who do and do not have ADHD—they can help most children and adults achieve better focus and concentration. Because of this, having a positive response to stimulants is not a test of whether a child has ADHD. Nor does needing a higher dose than another child mean that your child's symptoms are more severe. Doses vary with the individual regardless of the severity of symptoms. Some children with mild symptoms may need higher doses of medication while others with more severe symptoms require lower doses.
Medications can be described by their generic (chemical) names but are most often known to parents by their brand names. The 2 generic classes of stimulants proven to be effective for the treatment of ADHD are methylphenidate and amphetamines. The brand names of the methylphenidate preparations currently available to children with ADHD are Ritalin, Metadate, Methylin, Focalin, Concerta, and Daytrana. A number of different amphetamine medications are also available and include Dexedrine, Dextrostat, Vyvanse, Dexedrine Spansules, and Adderall.
Both classes of stimulants have similar effects and side effects. Different preparations also have different durations of action, as described in the table below. Comparing doses of different medications can be confusing to parents. The amount of each medication prescribed (in milligrams per dosage or per day) is unique to that particular medication—so, for example, 5 mg of methylphenidate (Ritalin) is only about half as strong as a dose of 5 mg of dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine).

Where to Buy
If you are like me, a bigger guy, who likes to sleep…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $159
If you are like me, a bigger guy, who likes to sleep on his side, yet stay warm and be comfy all night, then you will love the Big Agnes Lost Ranger 15. I have gone through a few sleeping bags in my life. Before backpacking I was drawn to square bags because I had a lot more room to move around, I wasn't worried about bulk since I wasn't lugging it along the trail and warmth never seemed to be an issue. But things changed once I discovered backpacking.
- Warmth
- Packable
- Very light for its size.
- There are lighter bags this size
- Occasional zipper snag
When I started backpacking I read that I needed a mummy sleeping bag, a pack, a pad, and a tent. Those were the main 4 things I needed for a night in the back country. From there I didn't do much research and bought things mainly based on what I could afford.
I ended up with some off brand sleeping bag from eBay, which did the job, but could have been better. The best thing it did for me however was open my eyes about sleeping bags and what I really needed and wanted. In the end I wish I did more research so I didn't buy that first bag. But hey, at least I have extras for my friends who want to come along.
One of the first things I was looking for in a new bag was more space. While many have more width around the shoulders not many are as wide as the Big Agnes modified mummy shape. In short it is a more squared off mummy bag which gives you more room in the foot box and shoulder area. This was great as I could now roll around a lot more in my sleeping bag and was a lot more comfortable at night. I am 5'11" and went for the regular sized bag and it was the perfect size. If you are in the 6' range, go for the long.
Another factor in choosing this sleeping bag was weight. While it isn't the lightest sleeping bag at 2lbs 14oz, it wasn't too bad considering the extra room. Big Agnes does that by adding a sleeve pad on the bottom side of the bag in place of the filling. When in your bag laying on your pad, you are squishing all the filling so it doesn't loft up and keep you warm anyway. Instead you rely on your insulated mattress pad to keep your backside warm. A nice little bonus is you don't slip off your pad at night. This bag is also 650 fill goose down, which is lighter than synthetic fill.
Keeping me warm at night was also of utmost importance. The bag itself is rated to 15 degrees. But as many people will tell you add about 10 degrees to that if you are a guy and 15 to 20 if you are a woman as the lowest temperature you would expect to be warm at in this bag. So in this case I figured the bag would keep me warm down to 25 degrees. Again, this is with an insulated mattress pad.
I have taken this down to the mid 20's and have been plenty warm in it. I don't think I would test it in much colder weather though. Another thing to think about, this bag is bigger inside which means there is more space to for your body to keep warm and an greater chance for cold spots. For me this hasn't been an issue, however after doing some research, it has been an issue for some.
There are other features on the bag I like too. The zipper is a nice burly zipper YKK #8 zipper which doesn't get caught often. I have had issues with the zipper catching, but not as many as other sleeping bags I have had. There is a draft collar to keep cold air from blowing down your bag from the hood. It has a pillow pocket in the hood so it won't slip out of your bag. A draft tube along the zipper keeps cold air from coming in between the teeth of the zipper. It also comes with both a stuff sack and a big cotton storage sack for when it isn't in use.
If you are wondering, this bag does have its weak points. The cons about this bag are, for the price you can find a lighter bag, but not with as much room. The zipper still snags even though it is a nice YKK zipper. The stuff sack is a basic sack with a toggle and draw cord. So if you are looking to really cinch down your bag, you will have to buy a different stuff sack. ou can only use square sleeping pad for the sleeve in the bag, so you can't cut more weight using a mummy shape pad.
With all that said, I still think this is a great bag for the money and if I was in the market for another bag, this would be at the top of my list. Big Agnes did come out with another bag that piques my interest though, the Mystic SL. The SL is for super light and they achieve this by using 850 power fill goose down which drops the weight of the bag 10oz to a scant 2lbs 4 oz, while retaining the same shape and extra space I have grown to love from the Lost Ranger. But costing $160 more, I think I am okay with the extra 10 oz.
Of course on the other end of the spectrum is the Encampment 15. Same dimensions as the Lost Ranger and Mystic, but with synthetic fill. This bag weighs in at 3lbs 4oz but is $80 less. Might be an option for those on a budget, or for those who have a chance of getting wet since down doesn't keep you warm when wet, but synthetic does.
Either way you go what I have stated above, along with Big Agnes quality I am sure you will enjoy any of those bags.

Price Paid: $200
Bought this bag from Lees Adventure Sports in Kalamazoo. Used it in the fall and winter in Manisttee, Michigan; very warm bag on cold nights slept with a fleece liner. Also invested in the BA insulated sleeping pad.
I'm a big guy, 6'3 and I had plenty of room to roll around in. Very impressed with the quality.

Design: semi-mummy
Fill: 650 down
Temperature Rating: 15 degrees F (I'd rate it more like 30 degrees F)
Weight: 3 lbs and change
Price Paid: $209
I bought this bag because I'd always wanted a down bag and was intrigued by the Big Agnes sleeping pad system. Spent five nights in it where the temps got into the upper 20s lower 30s. I know temperature ratings are not a precise science, however, I would rate this bag more as a 30-35 degree and up bag. I did get cold even with long johns, poly pro layer, and a wool cap.
I did like the roominess and that I wasn't "Mummified" into the bag. I'm a side sleeper and didn't really have any problems rolling and turning. The drawcords on the hood were a bit uncomfortable on my face when snugged up tight. The integrated pad worked nice. I never slid off once. Very comfortable on the ground to lay on.
My biggest gripe is I've had the zipper snag about once a use. I've tried to be careful with the zip. Overall a decent bag. If down bags weren't so expensive I'd like to buy/try some others to compare.

Excellent 4-season bag that lives up to its ratings.
- Lightweight
- Very packable
- Pad doesn't slip out
- Great for tossing and turning
- Works with my NeoAir
- Zipper sometimes snags on wind baffle
I have been backpacking 10,000'+ over 45 years in the California High Sierras with the last 30 in down mummy bags. This is the first packable bag that I have found to be warm while allowing me to toss and turn without slipping off of the pad.
Coupled with my NeoAir (which is lighter than my BA pad), I am sleeping more comfortably than ever. I just leave the NeoAir in the bag and compress it all. So far it has worked very well. I have been warm when sleeping with temps in the teens; I use a 3lb 7oz Big Agnes tent which helps a lot.
I especially like the pillow pocket where I can stuff my soft things to use as a pillow without it getting away from me in the night as with other bags. The hood is great — just limits my tossing a bit.
Because of the large top, entry and exit are very easy and I can easily roll over.
I have used this bag for twelve week-long 10,000'+ trips, having purchased it used on EBay for $130 three years ago.

This bad boy does it all for me. Roomiest 'mummy' type bag I've ever experienced!
- Warm...down to 10 degrees without liner
- Comfortable...has room for your feet!
- Built-in sleeve for the pad
- Big across the shoulders for a 6'l/200 pound dude
- Left hand zipper on this one? But hey...
Great sleeping bag. Your pad fits into a sleeve on the 'bottom' of the bag so you can't roll off of it in the middle of the night. Super comfortable! If it gets cold there's a hood that you can crank down on your noggin.
Like I said, I've had it out in 10 degrees/on snow...don't know if it's rated that low...and that was without a liner...with the liner I wouldn't hesitate to give 0 a try...but that's me.
I've got llamas carrying my gear, so this one might be a bit heavy...but I recommend it without hesitation. Don't know why I'd ever buy another bag!

Design: Mummy, Long
Fill: 650 fd
Temperature Rating: 20F
Weight: Manf 3lb2oz, Act. 2lb 14oz
Price Paid: $139
Let me start by saying, Big Agnes makes some seriously tough products. I bought this bag three years ago now and have used it every chance I've had since purchase.
The bag itself is of unique (to BA) design. There is not down fill in the "back" portion of the bag. Rather, there is a pocket for an air pad of your choice (does not have to be a mattress from BA. ie; Thermarest, etc). This makes for a lighter packweight on those long, rigorous trails or thru-hikes. In that aspect, its a benefit, when it comes to keeping warm true to its rating, it can become its downfall.
I tried Thermarest, BA air mattress, and a few others, but none seemed to fully fill the mattress pocket to keep cold air out UNTIL I got my BA Insul Core mattress. Finally, the bag not only keeps me warm in its intended 20F but even kept me warm (with no additional liner) at a very cold 8F!! It's great! To anyone buying this bag, keep in mind it is down, so moisture can be an issue.
The bag's skin is water repellent but that doesn't mean water can't seep through and soak you. With proper mattress, freezing cold is no issue. And because of the design, you save weight. On warm summer nights you can ditch the pad altogether!
All in all, this was a great purchase. Very much worth the money. Hope this helps you with your purchase.

Design: semi-mummy

Temperature Rating: putatively 15 degrees F
Very comfortable sleeping bag. I like not rolling off the pad.
I used it in the Adirondacks on a cold Columbus Day weekend (temps in the low 20's) along with a lightweight down sleeping bag liner from Western Mountaineering. I tend to sleep pretty warm, and with the liner I slept very (but not overly) warm; bottom line, even for a warm sleeper like me, I am not sure about the 15 degree rating...
One thing to note about the Big Agnes system: I was using the bag in a lean-to. Because the pad slips right into a sleeve on the bottom of the bag, it was a bit more of a pain the butt to roll it up in the morning, so I didn't. That turned out to be a little unfortunate when the snow blew straight sideways into the lean-to -- I came back to find a fair amount of snow on the bag.
Moral of the story -- be less lazy than I was, or throw the bag/pad combo in the back of a lean-to along the rear wall.

Excellent, light, warm, but when coupled with the Big Agnes Air Core sleeping pad, my toes end up getting a bit crunched (could surely use some extra room down there).

Design: Rectangular
Fill: 650
Temperature Rating: +5
Price Paid: $100 on Ebay inc shipping!
When discussing down sleeping bags, it's always worthy to mention that each of us sleeps at different temperatures. I sleep hot and always have. Others sleep cooler and require more insulation.
For me, this bag rocks. I extend its season easily using a military gore-tex bivy cover I got on Ebay for $25. The bivy easily adds another 10 to 15 degrees and I've slept comfortably in my bag to just above zero.
It's also important to note that a significant amount of heat loss occurs through your head, face and neck at night in the cold. The bag works to correct this with neck baffles, but you should always consider adding a balaclava or stocking cap when sleeping in immediate cold. I also add a layer of polypropylene in extremely cold weather because with the Gore-Tex bivy, you need all the help you can get to wick moisture away. Nowadays, learn to sleep smart and include this bag or one like it in your plans.
Everything the marketing says about this bag is true - you can turn over easily in it and it is fairly wide for big chested men. I would have included a gear pocket for things like lip protection and eye glasses but overall, I really like what Big Agnes has done!

Fill: 600 fill down
Temperature Rating: 15 degrees (but really a 30 degree bag)
Weight: 3 lbs
Price Paid: $117
I got this bag last week and used it for the first time this weekend. Everything I read about the bag is true:
- Big Agnes makes the most comfortable bags on the planet. The sleeping pad sleeve (coupled with the Insulated Air Core pad) changes camping for me. I've never slept better while camping.
- The small pillow sleeve is genius. I stuffed my fleece in there and had a perfect pillow, that didn't keep falling out of my bag.
- The bag is definitely not a 15 degree bag. As others have mentioned, add 15 degrees to Big Agnes ratings. This is a 30 degree bag (which I'm fine with, because I'm not a winter camper). It got into the mid 40's on my trip and I was actually a little warm in the bag (had to unzip it).
- I love that I can stuff the sleeping bag and pad together into the sleeping bag bag. Works great. Packs tight.

I am shorter than six foot tall but have very broad shoulders, so the room this bag provides is perfect for me. However, it wasn't perfect for staying warm on a night that approached the temp. rating. I would say this is a 30 degree bag, and I sleep warm. Bottom line, a great bag but add 15 degrees to temp rating.

Design: Rectangular
Fill: 650 fill down
Temperature Rating: 15 degree

This has become my new favorite bag. I have a few down bags and they are the only type I use for backpacking, but this one truly stands out. The concept of the pad sliding into the bottom of the bag is not only a great idea, but very functional. Several reviews said it is like sleeping in your own bed. While that is a slight overstatement, it is close to the truth. This bag is not only comfortable, but roomy. I bought two, so could zip together with my wife. Works great.
I did buy the 15 degree pad and was impressed with the comfort. It did take a little effort to blow up, but the plus side is a thicker pad that you can truly lay comfortably on your side. I am really surprised that more sleeping bags do not come with this type of an option. No more sliding off the slick pads... Worth every penny!

Price Paid: $160
I recently overnighted in an AT shelter using this bag and insulated Big Agnes inflatable pad. The shelter floor was wood planking and I used a nylon bag cover to protect the sleeping bag from dirt, etc. The temp got down to 28 degrees F ( according to my small thermometer)and I froze in that bag!
I was pleased in the roominess but what is that worth if you are freezing!!? I even got up in the middle of the night and put my silk bag liner in but to no avail. The pad was also very cold to the touch.
This bag is rated by Big Agnes at 15 degrees--maybe they mean centigrade and not farenheit! I would not recommend this bag to anyone who plans on doing any cold weather camping.

Based on a known environment causing occlusions and on the cameras pixel grid discretization, an irregular partitioning of the reconstruction space is chosen. Reconstruction artifacts are rejected by using plausibility checks based on additional information about the objects to be reconstructed. The binary occupancy decision is solely performed in reconstruction space instead of fusing back-projected silhouettes in image space. Hierarchical data structures are used to reconstruct the objects progressively focusing on boundary regions. Thus, the algorithm can be stopped at any time with a certain conservative level of detail. Most parts of the algorithm may be processed in parallel using GPU programming techniques. The main application domain is the surveillance of real environments like in human/robot coexistence and cooperation scenarios.
- Multi-View Reconstruction of Unknown Objects in the Presence of Known Occlusions (2009)
- We present a general method for reconstructing unknown objects (e.g. humans) within a known environment (e.g. tables, racks, robots) which usually has occlusions. These occlusions have to be considered since parts of the unknown objects might be hidden in some or even all camera views. Besides grayscale and color cameras also depth sensors are considered. In order to avoid cluttered reconstructions, plausibility checks are used to eliminate reconstruction artifacts which actually do not contain any unknown object. One application is a supervision/surveillance system for safe human/robot-coexistence and –cooperation. Experiments for a voxel-based implementation are given.

If I get a player in a trade can I trade him right away? IDK if the 60 day rule applies year round or only in the offseason.
No. 60 day rule is year round
It seems that the 2nd rounders are worth next to nothing anymore, I think this is because everyone can see the rookies' ratings. no one with a good rating will get past the 1st round. so how about this?
The commissioner only gives us a list of rookie candidates, JUST THEIR NAMES, and their ratings will only be shown after the draft is finished. This way we will be forced to research about the rookies(Scouting) and our draft will depend on how we scout them. There will be reach and there will be steals. kinda like what the draft is supposed to be
Rookies' value and ratings are supposed to be unknown until they play in the NBA, but if you release their ratings beforehand then you remove the mystery of these rookies
just an idea to make those second rounders more meaningful
HR Sim League - Washington Wizards
2nd rounders are worth nothing in the real NBA as well though. I do think you should have to spend a point or so to see 5 players ratings.
That's great man, before the season I thought that's how it was going I be
I'm ok either way with the draft. I didn't want the 2nd round sim'd.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
See I think 2nd rounders are worthless solely based on the fact that any 2nd rounder (or late pick) that went on to do anything in the NBA are not gonna be a secret to us
If anyone was involved in a trade, make sure to claim or delete your points.
Everyone in the league should be on the lookout for another GM not using his points properly (not subtracting after a trade, adding points that he doesn't earn, etc) and that GM will be penalized as I see fit.
