These days, college admissions are more competitive than ever. Students with a 4.0 are getting turned down at their top choices even though on paper it appears they've done everything "right." So what are they lacking? It's not just the GPA that the Admissions Office looks at. They want to see how your child is different...what can they contribute that other applicants cannot? Will they attract positive attention to the college? All of my students have the opportunity to Do A Project during high school, and it also happens to be a requirement for graduation. Some exciting examples that Merit students have done include "Hydrogen 4 Kids," "Creation of the Hydrogen Fuel Cell," and "CPR for Life."
I honestly cannot tell you how empowering these projects are to the kids; not to mention the impact it has on their chances of getting into college. The look of satisfaction and achievement on their faces is priceless as they realize they have positively impacted their community through their project, all the while helping their chances at getting into their top choice college.
Don't have your child write a statement of purpose that describes what they hope to accomplish- have them write one about what they have accomplished already! Be proactive in your child's education. https://s2-dallas.accountservergroup.com/~meritwor/en/Shop_Online/B...

I have been using Hugo for nearly six years now and since my divorce every woman I have dated has been unbelievably attracted to the smell. It's a citrusy/woodsy smell that is not overpowering and does not smell like alcohol or other irritants that sensitive nosed people can't stand. This cologne is a winner and I hope that Hugo never stops making it because I am hopeful to use this, and only this, for my entire life. Ladies, if you don't like your mans cologne, check this one out. And guys, if you are looking for a cologne that virtually every woman will love, look no further than Hugo.

A Gulag Mouse heading to Anchorage
From 29 March 2013 To 07 April 2013Address
Alaska Center for the Performing Arts Inc, 621 West 6th Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99501, United States
A Gulag Mouse, a daring evening of theater written by Arthur Jolly, is heading to Anchorage in late March for a brief run at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts.
Starring Morgan Mitchell, Danielle Rabinovitch, Tamar Shai, Jill Sowerwine, Aaron Wiseman and Annia Wyndham, the show tells the story of Anastasia, who is thrown into Stalin's Gulag following a violent act of self-defense.
Anastasia and her counterparts in the prison camp struggle for power in a production filled with the black humor, mystery and suspense of one of the harshest situations in modern history.
In a statement, the promoters commented: "Will these five women choose to live or merely survive? How far are they willing to go to answer that question?"
A Gulag Mouse runs from Friday March 29th to Sunday April 7th. Evening performances start at 8:00 p.m. AKST, while afternoon matinees begin at 3:00 p.m. on certain days.
Theater-goers seeking accommodation close to the venue should look no further than the Millennium Alaskan Hotel Anchorage.

By David Ehrenberg
UN-Habitat estimates that 924 million people, nearly a third of the world's urban population, live in slums. In what will be one of the greatest migrations in history, this number is expected to double in the next 30 years as over a billion additional people move to urban slums in the developing world. As public housing programs have failed to keep up with this tide, providing security to these new urban residents as they build their own homes and communities has become a central component of urban interventions.
In addition to its role in protecting the fundamental right to housing, tenure security provides numerous additional benefits. Most importantly, as security increases, families invest more savings and sweat equity to improve their housing. Increased security is also associated with greater political strength and ability to demand services. Titling was recently shown to contribute to increased work and educational attainment as family members are not required to stay at home to guard against eviction. While the goal of tenure security is widely accepted, programs take a variety of forms.
The most rudimentary kind of tenure security can be provided by the extension of utility services into communities, a friendly administration, or a lack of recent evictions, all of which create a sense of security. However, these "solutions" are subject to political reversal. More formal programs that provide a range of legally enforceable rights have been developed in order to provide true guarantees. Each program grants a different set of rights depending on the specific benefits sought, to whom these benefits are targeted and local implementation challenges.
Benefits sought and rights provided
Tenure security has recently become synonymous with the provision of full ownership rights, partly because of the success of Hernando de Soto's "The Mysteries of Capital." For de Soto, providing full ownership not only provides the highest level of tenure security for individual families, but also serves as an anti-poverty program by enabling the poor to use their newly titled homes as collateral for bank loans.
However, this focus on ownership rights is not without its critics. Many believe that if the consolidation of communities on the land they occupy is the goal, titling too quickly may be dangerous. By integrating centrally located settlements into the market, some fear that initial squatter owners may reap benefits, but ultimately the land will become unaffordable to future poor residents. Titling drives can also be used as a pretext to relocate squatters from the central city to the periphery where they will lack access to jobs, infrastructure and services.
Other forms of tenure security
While full ownership recognizes the greatest level of individual rights, various intermediate forms of titling and legally enforceable leasehold contracts have been developed. While there are a wide variety of models from around the world, a few examples include:
Belize: The government of Belize initially provides newly regularized communities with leases that cannot be sold. Once sufficient upgrading has taken place, residents are given the opportunity to purchase their land at a subsidized rate, after which they enjoy all the rights of full-freehold title and can sell if they so choose. It is hoped that by restricting the right to sell before upgrading is complete, the local real estate market and community structures will have time to mature, allowing initial residents to receive a better price for their land if they ultimately decide to sell.
Brazil: A number of Brazilian municipalities provide Concessions to the Real Right to Use (CRRU). CRRU are legally enforceable lease contracts, typically long-term, under which the municipality maintains ownership of the land, but residents are granted ownership of the buildings. Residents can sell, but only with municipal approval and to other low-income families. In some cities, such as Recife, communities that are provided CRRU are deemed Zones of Special Social Interest, effectively an anti-gentrification zoning program. While Brazilian programs have generally been developed on a city-by-city basis, the 2001 federal City Statute provides a more consistent foundation for local programs.
Thailand: The Baan Mankong Project directly links urban upgrading with communal ownership of the land in informal settlements. Under the program, communities are provided infrastructure subsidies and community managed capital pools to develop their housing or community based services. Land ownership and decisions as to its disposition are maintained at a community level.
Kenya: Countries in Africa, in particular, have begun to address the interface between customary law, which governs land use at the urban fringe, and the statutory legal system, which generally controls urban uses. The Community Land Trusts program, operated mainly in secondary cities around Kenya, maintains the community's ownership of the land but provides long-term leases to individual families. It is believed that by balancing the communal and individual rights, the program will allow communities to use their collective strength to obtain infrastructure and services while providing individuals with long-term security and thus incentives to invest in their homes.
For whom are benefits sought?
While the rights provided imply different balances between individual and community interests, programs also have varying effects on different community members. Tenure security is important for women as they negotiate relations within the household and wider community and become particularly critical in the event of widowhood. Countries such as Vietnam, Peru and the Philippines have taken the important step of issuing titles jointly to both spouses. Other differences within the communities, such as between owners and renters, should also be considered.
Local implementation challenges
Local implementation considerations are another significant factor in shaping programs. For example, if land is state owned, nearly any program design is possible. However, when communities are located on private land, most programs rely on adverse possession, whereby current residents may petition a court for full ownership if their use of the land has been unchallenged by the current owner for a set number of years. Many countries now recognize communal adverse possession, simplifying the process for residents and reducing the burden on court systems.
Programs from around the world provide a wide variety of implementation lessons. One such lesson is that a fast and equitable process for resolving ownership disputes within the communities is essential. Such processes may be managed by the cadastre system (as in Cambodia), a separate agency that works before titling begins (as in Mexico), or through the titling agency itself (as in Peru). Most programs engage the community in a participatory process to establish plot boundaries, resolve conflicts and identify non-eligible individuals (sometimes including absentee landlords or those who own multiple plots). Reliance on a formal arbitration process, or adjudication in a court, is typically uncommon and the last option.
An effective system to track future land sales must also be developed to ensure that land does not revert to informality after subsequent sales. Most tenure security programs will require significant legal and regulatory changes at the national and local levels, as well as investments in cadastre systems, more effective land use planning processes, and other technocratic and technological program components. However, while some technocratic solutions may be required, they are often less effective and more costly than community-based solutions.
Perhaps the most important lesson is that while providing tenure security is critical, it must be coupled with infrastructure upgrading, programs with banks to enable residents to access loans, more inclusive urban planning processes and legal changes that accept the realities of these communities instead of requiring unenforceable Western-style regulations.

How do I know if I need extra calcium?
- Q: I wonder if I need extra calcium in my diet. How would I know?
- A: The concern with calcium deficiency is bone fracture. As we age, we lose bone mass and are at risk for bone fracture, a condition called osteoporosis. Risk factors for osteoporosis are being of Asian descent, having a family history of osteoporosis, smoking, lack of exercise, drinking excessively, menopause, thyroidism, and chronic use of medications such as steroids. A simple bone density test by your doctor or some pharmacies can give you indication if you're at risk for osteoporosis and need calcium supplement. The guideline is to test all women over 65 years old and all men over 70. Early testing should be done for postmenopausal women and men over 50 if they smoke, have more than three drinks a day, are underweight, or have family history of osteoporosis. To prevent osteoporosis, the recommendation is a daily calcium supplement of at least 1200 mg with 400 IU of vitamin D for those over 50 years old. Lori Mendoza, PharmD

I have been using a Vidal Sassoon travel dryer for some time, and I liked the fact that it was small and lightweight. I always keep a backup dryer on hand because I can't leave the house without blow drying my hair, and since I didn't have an extra it was time to buy an additional one. I definitely wanted another small size dryer because I find regular dryers too heavy and clunky. I spotted this dryer at Wal-Mart and grabbed it because it was so small and lightweight. I love this thing. Unlike many small dryers, it has separate heat (3) and speed (2)settings. The hot is definitely hot, and the air power is very good. It also has ions which I find help keep my hair smooth. The Remington web site lists the MSRP as $16.99, and I got this at Wal-Mart for $12.97. The only downside to this dryer is that it is very noisy on the highest setting, but it only takes about 7 minutes to dry my hair, so for me it's not a huge problem. This would be a great dryer for someone who travels - it will take up little room and works as well as most larger dryers.

Text Version Last Updated: January 5, 2014 17:07
Saturday September 4th 2010
Again, time has marched on relentlessly. Another landmark event for the Trust has been consigned to history. The first World Owl Trust benefit gig; namely the Billy Mitchell and Bob Fox gig took place last night in the Stable Yard. The weather couldn't have been better. It all went like a dream. All the tickets sold out. The atmosphere was electric. The warm up act went by the name of 'The Mighty Tree', and his comedy lyrics went down a storm. 'The Mighty Tree' also proved himself to be a 'Mighty' compare, as he announced the arrival on stage of 'Bill and Bob'. Their performance was bewitching! Even more so, when they announced the fact that they hadn't played together since last October! The banter was very funny as well, as you can imagine with two 'likely lads' from the North East. They did two sets, with an interval of half an hour, in between which, Debs Smith did a raffle draw which raised another £180 - towards her sponsored sky dive. The end of the performance drew near,and both Bill and Bob, being the craftsmen they, weaved their magical spell on the audience, when they finished on that well known song 'Monday Monday'. Bob started his signature line on the guitar, building a pleasurable anticipation in the audience as to what Bill's counter melody was going to be like, when CRASH! JARRR! Bill joins in with the kind of ugly discord Deep Purple might have been proud of in their dark heyday. Bill starts sniggering, and asks Bob, who at this time is still playing his line, what key he is in. (Geordie accent), Ye do realize this is in 'E' don't ye Bob? Bob smirks and adjusts to the required key. Magic restored. This enjoyable night made a clear profit for the Trust of around £1000, as well as bringing the World Owl Trust to the attention of many people who had never heard of us before.
On the owl side of things, what was significant this week, was Metro's progress. With less than week's worth of flying training, ITV wanted to come and film him flying. This had originally been scheduled for Friday the 17th of September, but due to filming commitments this was only practical on Friday the 3rd, some two weeks earlier than scheduled. I arranged this date with a degree of trepidation, as not only could I not guarantee his performance, but also, I couldn't as yet gauge what his reaction might be to the camera. I needn't have worried. He was a star. I think the relief on my face was palpable. So, all in all, yesterday was a hectic day. Another interesting thing happened this week; Vicky discovered a young Long-eared Owl in the Laybourne aviary. It would seem that another clutch of Long-eareds has hatched in there. We will have to wait until the end of the season to catch them all up, to see how many we actually have. Lastly, the old Greyish Eagle Owl which was admitted to hospital a week ago, is now fit enough to go back to it's aviary. I would like to think that it still has some quality time look forward to before it's number is up.

Welcome to
Regenesis Solar Power
Regenesis Power was founded in 2006, by company Chairman William Randolph Hearst, II and co-founder William Foster. Today, Regenesis has established itself as a leading developer and EPC contractor of utility scale photovoltaic systems. The company has developed, designed and completed over 11MW of systems over the past four years and our team members have built over 33 MW collectively.
Regenesis employs the unique advantages of its single axis tracker to produce on average 18% more output than most fixed tilt systems. In addition to performance advantages, Regenesis PV arrays provide significantly greater long-term reliability as the tracker system is rated withstand up to Category 3 hurricane winds.
Regenesis Power LLC. also provides mass-deployed Solar Hot Water Service (SHW) programs for utility companies and municipal organizations. These turnkey programs enable utilities to expand their services with no infrastructure investment or operational expense; and, offer their customers an affordable, fixed renewable energy option for water heating at no capital or maintenance cost for equipment.
Known as the Regenesis Model, Regenesis' solar hot water business model leverages the fully-levelized cost efficiencies of solar thermal energy generation; together with the long-term value and investment return of the sale of mass-distributed renewable energy. The Regenesis Model enables utility companies and municipal organizations to implement sustainable energy programs easily and effectively while providing long-term benefits to regional economies through durable green collar jobs; long-term revenue streams; and, a meaningful reduction of fossil fuel reliance.
For more information about the first mass-deployed solar hot water service in Lakeland, Florida please follow this link. www.solarlakeland.com
Regenesis - Duke Energy Renewables - Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) Solar Project.
The OUC Stanton 5.91 MW DC PV system is constructed of nineteen single-axis tracker arrays. Each of the arrays have a centrally mounted screw-jack that dynamically couples the linear motion of the jack to rotate (+- 45 deg) up to twelve north-south axis rows of PV modules to follow the sun throughout the day. This tracking approach provides additional annual energy production of 16% when compared to fixed tilt designs and offers the best value in PV system design.

Sun & Wind Energy Magazine.
A new model for pushing solar hot water.
In times of rising energy prices, people's ears prick up if you tell them they can pay a fixed hot water bill for 20 years. A few weeks ago, local power company Lakeland Electric of Lakeland, Florida, started a new program which promises just that. The customer gets a complete solar water heater, including installation and service, for US$ 34.95 a month with a 20-year price guarantee and no additional fees. SUN & WIND ENERGY wanted to find out exactly what was behind the program and whether the model could encourage the large-scale spread of solar thermal systems. (Click for .pdf of complete article)

Several years ago, graduate students in Stanfords psychology department hit upon a prime spot to observe humans in the throes of high-pressure decision making: the grocery store. Posing as reps for a gourmet jam, they offered a range of flavors for shoppers to choose among: six in the first experiment (among them, black cherry, kiwi, and lemon curd), 24 in the second. And then they tallied sales. On the day with six flavors, 30 percent of shoppers walked away with a new jar of jam; on the day with four times that, a mere 3 percent did. The results demonstrated what the researchers dubbed choice overload: When faced with too many options, the brain becomes overwhelmed and, like a computer with too many windows open, freezes.
Its perhaps no big coincidence that the jam experiment, as its become known in the psych world, has made its way into both The Defining Decade and Twentysomething: Why Do Young Adults Seem Stuck?two in a wavelet of books released this year about lifes third decade. The twenties are a period in which big choices are traditionally made career, partner, lifestyleand, despite the sputtering economy, this generation (its economically privileged members, at least) has more jams to pick from than its predecessors.
The pool of potential mates is no longer limited to the local barwe can select among the 1.8 million eligibles on Match.com. If we cant find a career that suits us, we can plot a start-up. And just like the shoppers in the experiment, millennials like me (Im 27) arent dashing toward the checkout line either. The five milestones sociologists use to classify someone as an adultfinishing education, declaring financial independence, getting married, having a child, leaving homehad been reached by 77 percent of women in 1960. Today, less than half of twentysomething women are adults, by the academic definition. The pundits are calling us Peter and Priscilla Pans and Kidultsshould we be worried?
The trope of the twenties as a decade for soul-searching is actually a recent development. A century ago, the choices of what to do and who to marry (and one did marry) were much narrower. It wasnt until the rise of the Pill, free love, and feminism, among other social upheavals, that the modern young adultfree to search for a true calling and a soul mateemerged. And almost immediately it became apparent that all this freedom could be too much of a good thing: In 1968, a year after Dustin Hoffmans Benjamin Braddock floated aimlessly in his parents backyard swimming pool in The Graduate, developmental psychologist Erik H. Erikson used the term quarter-life crisis to describe one of the eight existential dilemmas he believed marked the human life span. According to Erikson, after leaving the structured world of academia, be it high school or college, with their neatly packaged semester-long intervals and clear-cut objectives (get good grades, graduate), the individual becomes overwhelmed, feels lost, and enters a state of free-fall.
But by todays standards, Ben had it easy. Thanks to the later and later age of marriage (this generation will spend more time single than any before it), as well as globalization and changes in corporate culture (one in three twentysomethings will change residences this year; millennials will hold, on average, seven jobs by the time they turn 30), young people live a far more transient, uncertain existence than their parents did. And weighing all the newly expanded options is only half the battle: The economy, crippling student loan debt, and skyrocketing rents in major cities are gaping potholes on the road to adulthood.
This may explain why Eriksons quarter-life crisis has gone from obscure (especially compared with its attention-grabbing counterpart, midlife crisis) to buzzworthy, spawning projects like QuarterLife, an NBC Web series focused on a group of friends in their twenties (à la the late-80s TV phenomenon Thirtysomething). Journalist Alexandra Robbins was one of the first to bring what she calls QLC into the mainstream, with her 2001 best-seller Quarterlife Crisis and its follow-up, Conquering Your Quarterlife Crisis. Oh sure, people were skeptical at first, she tells me. Bryant Gumbel called us whiny.
I, for one, definitely wish for some better way to understand, not to mention negotiate, this time in my life. When I was growing up, my boomer mom drilled into me that I should spend my twenties trying a variety of professional and personal pathsshe did, she said, and was happy for it. While I never took her advice to an extremeIve had jobs in the same industry and have lived in the same city since graduationin the back of my mind Ive always assumed I had plenty of time to change my mind. Then it hit me earlier this year: By the time my mother was my age, shed already been married for four years, finished graduate school, settled into her second (and lifelong) career, andwhat really blows my mindhad a mortgage on a house. Meanwhile, Im still on my parents cell phone plan, and my dad does my income taxes. How did I miss the part about growing up overnight?
Among my friends, the variation in adultitude is as wide as its been since middle school: Some seem prematurely middle-aged (spending Saturday night painting their walls sage green, before turning in at ten oclock); others seem hopeless cases of arrested development (one woman I know has had a string of part-time jobs since graduation and no plans to stop living with her parents). Theres not this lock-step road to maturity there was 60 years ago, says Stephanie Coontz, a professor of family studies at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. All stages in life, not just ones twenties, are becoming more and more ambiguous. To wit, Ive found myself wrapping a Jonathan Adler peacock-shape lollipop holder for a friends bridal shower in my parents living room, where Im temporarily living with barely a lollipop to my name, let alone a holder for it.
Enter the work of developmental psychologist Jeffrey Arnett, who, in what is arguably the most radical concept to rock the developmental psychology world in decades, essentially argues that my peers and I shouldnt sweat our slow march to adulthood. Arnett posits that the period between ages 18 and 29 should be recognized as a distinct developmental stage called emerging adulthood (sandwiched between adolescence and full-blown adulthood), during which the fits and starts of self-exploration should not only be expected but often encouraged. Arnetts theory is bolstered by recent findings that our prefrontal cortex, the part of our brain responsible for planning, prioritizing, and controlling impulses, isnt fully formed until our late twenties. (If the idea that a stage of our lives could be so distinct yet somehow have gone unnoticed sounds suspect, consider the fact that adolescence wasnt formally recognized until 1904.)
Oh To Be Young...
And filled with angst about whether you should start acting like an adult or use your twenties for grand adventure. Twenty-seven-year-old Amanda FitzSimons checks out a spate of new books that offer guidance about navigating so-called emerging adulthood.

Are cable networks trying to gear up audiences for that Mrs. Doubtfire sequel?
According to a report by research firm IHS Technology, the original Mrs. Doubtfire aired more times than any other film on basic cable in 2013. The 1993 cross-dressing comedy starring Robin Williams played 66 times across five networks. The film, which earned more than $400 million at the box office, was No. 67 on the AFI's America's Funniest Movies list.
Could a sequel fair so well? While the plan by Fox 2000 Pictures is to reunite Williams with director Chris Columbus for Mrs. Doubtfire 2, star Mara Wilson says she has "no interest" in a followup. READ FULL STORY


text: Last night, at the CUNY Graduate Center in Manhattan, I attended a screening of a wonderful documentary by Richard and Carole Rifkind entitled "Naturally Obsessed: The Making of a Scientist". This film documented the path and travails of 3 graduate students who were lucky enough to be in the laboratory of Dr. Lawrence Shapiro at Columbia University's College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York City. The beauty and clarity with which the film was shot made the graduate student experience feel as real as any film could. As someone who got her PhD in developmental and molecular biology from another well known biomedical research institution, I felt that the experiences of the students featured in the film were prettier than my own (mine was particularly harrowing), but in many ways, the film was dead on.

There isn't one. However it seems like the fans want to see a rematch. What would happen in a rematch. Would it be easier kinda like the Mayweather vs Castillo 2 Rematch? Floyd seems to dissect guys when he boxes. When he goes to fight toe to toe like the De La Hoya, Cotto, and Maidana fight he takes some more than deserved punishment. He can inflict some and it's ok because most of his fights he takes minimum damage. Floyd Sr even stated that he didn't like Floyd's rope style. Kinda like the Ali days when he fought George Foreman.
Floyd is good at adjusting. I expect in the rematch for him to box this time. Although this last fight was a close fight, we still had Floyd winning 7-5 rounds for a score of 115-113. This time around we hope there are not as many dirty tactics by Marcos Maidana and Robert Garcia telling him to fight dirty if he has too. Let's see what Sept 2014 holds.

If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

NYC: Desperately Seeking Small Businesses
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - From a "cronut" bakery on Spring Street to the Little Lebowski Shop on Thompson Street, New York City is home to a diverse range of businesses.
As the country's workforce places greater emphasis on entrepreneurism as a career option, especially as big corporations look to remain lean and mean coming out of the recession, New York City and its surrounding boroughs -- home to more than 200,000 small businesses -- is the poster child to small business ownership.
New York wants to maintain its competitive edge, particularly as cities across the country are upping their game as viable places to launch a business. The city is trying to get the word out about its growing Department of Small Business Services.
"Strengthening businesses of all sizes, at all stages, and across all sectors, has helped diversify the city's economy and create more jobs," said Robert Walsh, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Small Business Services.
|Arbuz Cafe, located in Sheepshead Bay, reopened its doors after Hurricane Sandy by working with NYC's Department of Small Business Services to receive a loan and matching grant of $35,000 and an additional $5,000 grant for recovery.

I'm Fabienne, and I have loved food, cooking and inventing recipes since I was a young girl.
I grew up in Paris, the youngest of seven children, with a Tunisian-born mother and an Italian father. Given my heritage it's no surprise that my food is packed with Mediterranean flavours.
Now, with several years professional catering experience, I am lucky enough to work with food every day – catering for corporate and family functions, running workshops and cooking parties and privately teaching adults and children to cook.

Stores small, feels light, and offers huge comfort after a long day in the woods.
Set up base camp, whip out the Helinox Chair One Camp Chair, and suddenly your friends will regret their decision to sit on the ground or pull up a stump. This comfortable little chair uses a mesh seat suspended on a lightweight aluminum frame. Easy to setup and easy to break down, the Chair One Chair is ideal for car camping or even overnight backpacking trips when you want a little extra luxury around the camp fire.
- Pole technology is the same that DAC uses in their high-end Helinox trekking poles and tent poles
- Aluminum material makes the poles lightweight and durable enough for seasons of camping trips
- Hub-and-pole structure keeps the poles attached at the seat joints so all you have to do is unfold the poles and position the back and seat stays to ready them for the seat cover
- Feet have rubberized coating that keep your chair from sliding on rock or slick surfaces
- Synthetic cover is made of mesh that's breathable and quick-drying so you can sit comfortably no matter what the weather
- Zippered storage bag holds the folded seat cover and collapsed frame so you can save space when you're not using this chair
- Maximum weight capacity: 320 pounds

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I brought this on a 10 day boundary water canoe trip in northern Minnesota. Hard rocky ground with steep inclines and around 1 inch of soil in spots. My weight is 280 pounds. This was the best piece of gear I brought and everyone I went with will buy one because of the comfort provided after long portages. I was expecting to damage this chair on the trip and it held up flawlessly, only gripe is that the legs will sometimes sink into the ground and will have to be re-positioned. Best investment, durable quality construction, relatively light, and very comfortable. Don't watch your buddy be comfortable while you are sitting on a rock or log.
Great Chair!!!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The chair is great! Super DURABLE and super light. Obviously it sits ground level so for those with any knee problems it could be difficult to get out of. For me though I love it, poles are connected with elastic cord just like tent poles, and assembly takes about 10 seconds. two of the poles have a bent shape to them on each end (by design I assume for rigidity) so not all the poles are perfectly straight. I only mention this because it won't pack as small vs if all the pole sections were straight and could lay flat next to each other. Other then that the advertised wight is 580 grams with bag. On my scale it came out to 595 grams. I guess this could matter if your an ultralight backpacker counting grams, or maybe my scale is not as accurate as the one Helinox used. I look forward to many years of use from this chair. Thanks Helinox!!
comfort on the trail
The chair is light, weighing in at 2 pounds. It easily attaches to the back of my backpack. Very simple to set up. Extremely comfortable when taking a break from a hike. Will be taking it to Philmont this summer! Last trip to Philmont I sat on the ground or a log. This is quite an upgrade and will make the trek more enjoyable.

A great investment.
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I used to think a camping chair was just a camping chair. I bought one of those cheap $9 chairs from Walmart and thought I was set. Obviously I didn't expect to take those Walmart chairs on backpacking expeditions, I also didn't see the need to buy chairs that cost $100. That was until my friend went and got the Helinox. Every time we went camping, I would be jealous. I finally decided I need one myself. While the chair lacks a cup holder and arm rests, it makes up for it with the size and weight. The set up was simple and it was comfortable. I also have the REI Flex Lite chair, which is pretty much the Helinox Chair One, but less wide and more mesh materials. For cooler temps, the Helinox is great because it is less mesh, but for warmer temps, the REI would be better because there will be more ventilation. The bag that holds the Helinox is a nice touch to the chair. I don't think I will be able to ever go back to those Walmart chairs...
Thanks for the photo comparison to the REI chair. I was going to get one then decided on the Helinox. A little more room is a good thing.

No longer do you have to sit on hard, sharp rocks or the dusty ground while enjoying the great outdoors! I've taken this chair backpacking, car camping, and even to outdoor concerts! It's is lightweight and stowable, and fits nicely into a small backpack.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Everything everyone in this thread has said about this chair is true. I don't know what else to say?! Its super light, super comfortable and super compactable. There's simply no debating any of this! It is pretty low to the ground, which is nice in my opinion, so sometimes sitting into it can be quite the leap (sit?) of faith. But it won't disappoint. I even use this chair in my house. Bottom line - on your next car camping trip you will look like an absolute boss around the campfire. 'Nuff said.
Kyle Madison
Light and Versatile
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Although this chair sits fairly low to the ground, it is surprisingly comfortable. It is ridiculously light for what it is (2lbs) and it also packs into a super small carrying tote. The tote itself has loops for clipping this to a pack or even strapping it to the bottom like a sleeping bag. Perhaps you won't need it every time you go out hiking but it's perfect to have on hand for camping, music festivals, park hang outs or just about anywhere you need to pop a squat in the field. Oh and did I mention they have a 3 year warranty?! Yep it's true.
Don't leave home without it
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a GREAT chair. Used it kayaking...used it BSA training in wilderness....used it camping...used it in the yard! This chair sits well and is comfortable. Legs will sink in ground but cut tennis balls handle this and fit in the case it comes with. Easy to assemble and disassemble in just seconds. This is a great chair! I am a big guy and this chair sits fine and does not bend under the stress. Do not like sitting on the ground or camp chairs that sit on the ground. This is the trick for comfort in the field. Everybody wants my chair when I break it out and is a conversation starter every time you open it up. I would highly recommend it.
Le crow
Pick your poison
I was really surprised at how comfortable this is. My buddy uses the trekker kit, and he always seems pretty zen at camp while I pile up logs or rocks. This little chair is part hammock, part recliner. It fits me well 6'3 195 34" waist.
It already weighs 2lbs though, and I hate to be that guy, but that's a real commitment to sit in for 2-3 hours. If you spend more time at camp than the trail, it's a no brainer.
Edit. I love this chair, it would win gear of the decade if it shed a pound.
Great chair!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
LOVE IT!! How's that for a positive review? Got the chair today and set it up both in the living room of my GFs apartment and out in the grassy area. Very comfortable, rocks a little, but other reviews about it sinking down in the ground are spot on. So, I thought a set of 3" round furniture floor sliders might work to spread out the weight a bit and prevent it sinking. Seems to be working fine as of this writing.
As far as the chair goes, even my girl liked sitting in it. The only really bad thing about it is getting up. if you're on the large side like me, it's not easy getting up, but the frame seems strong enough to support pushing lightly on it as a way of steadying yourself to get up. But man is it comfy.
The bag it comes in is another surprise as it has a row of webbing on the outside to attach things to if you want. And, the chair inside the bag is quite light. They claim 2 pounds, but it doesn't feel like it. But, weighed my gf 's kitchen scale, it's almost exactly 2lbs.
additional field report to the above. I have added the furniture sliders using industrial strength velcro and it works like a charm. Used it a group event where the area we were in had had about 10" of rain recently. Kept the legs out of the ground and didn't affect the comfort or usability of the chair at all. Got a lot of positive comments on the "mod".
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this chair. Best $$ I've spent in awhile.
Best chair - ever!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Just arrived home from a 9 day kayak trip in Haida Gwaii. This chair was AWESOME. It was stable (even on pebbly rock beaches), strong but lightweight and quite comfortable. I am 55 years of age and I just don't want to sit on the beach without a chair anymore. I was the envy of our group. If you find the chair legs 'sink' then someone suggested cutting a small slit in a cheap tennis ball and sliding it over each leg to prevent the legs from sinking. I did not bring the tennis balls and sometimes the chair legs did 'sink' but it was not really a problem for me. It packs up quickly; the alloy used is super strong; the angle of the chair is pretty decent (maybe sits a bit far back but the chair was still comfortable). Plus it is so EASY to pack - takes up very little room and should last a long time.
Derek Turvey
Best Little Chair I've owned!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I recently bought this chair for a bike ride. It is small and light...just perfect to carry biking. It folds out easily and is super strong! It folds away just as quickly. Reccommend this chair for hiking, kyaking, biking. or just taking to a picnic.....you won't be disappointed!
Cameron C
5-Star Lightweight Luxury
This little gem is what Lewis and Clark were looking for. If Ponce de Leon had found the Helinox Chair One next to the fountain of youth, he would have been more proud he found the Helinox. Neil Armstrong expected to find the Helinox on the moon (for the sake of this story we will all agree he went to the moon).
Bottom line: this chair is amazing. At 2lbs. this chair is worth taking into the backcountry. You'll be more comfortable after a long day of hiking, fishing, or climbing. It's easily strapped to the outside of a pack if there's not enough room on the inside. For comfort, weight, and stuff size, I haven't found anything that beats this chair.
Kayla Weiser
Small and Lightweight Perfection
I am very impressed by this chair! It packs down very small, and is incredibly lightweight for how comfortable it is. It is a little higher off the ground than a lot of other backpacking chairs, which is awesome because it hurts less on your knees. So far, we've thrown this around backpacking, fishing, car excursions- and we love it! I would hands down recommend this chair for lightweight outdoor (or indoor!) comfort.

relaxing in the Chair One
Last day of school yard party. The crew toasting to no more homework, lunches, etc and relaxing in the yard in the very comfy Chair One.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
this is my first backpacking chair. i am always hesitant on camping furntiure due to my size, i am 6 foot and 225 lbs. for a chair this light and packs so small i took the risk and bought one. after 3 days of sitting around a fire with sand, rock and grass i found it comfortable and my friends jealous as they sat on the ground.

The chair Dads have been waiting for!
The Chair One has made it much easier to be a dad. We have an active family, always camping, going to the beach, watching Dragon boat races, etc. We routinely pack a bunch of snacks load up the camp chairs and head off for adventure. When we arrive, guess who has to carry everyones chair...DAD. With four standard camp chairs on my back as well as supplies it gets a little hard to get it done. With the Chair One everyone can carry their own chair. They fold down to the size of a 2L bottle. My youngest (8y/o) has a little trouble stretching the fabric seat into place, but my 11y/o gives him a hand. Once together they are very comfortable allowing you to sit upright to eat or watch a concert or you can slide your backside forward and almost recline. The legs will sink into the sand at the beach, but work well in most other places. After a half dozen uses they have become our go-to chairs, kids even build them in the house to sit next to a plug when playing and charging their itouches. Overall a great piece of gear that has made it easier to be the Dad.
Ryan Hamilton
Fun Chair
I've always wanted to have a chair when backpacking and now I can. It's not the biggest chair, but it gets your but off the ground on something much more comfortable than a log or rock and you'll be the envy of anyone else that doesn't have one.

Mohd Noor, Ilanur Muhaini (2009) Control of pH Level Using Fuzzy Controller. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
The idea of constructing this project is to simulate the control system of pH level by adding acid or base (alkali) into a process tank in a wastewater system to maintain the pH level to neutral value, which is pH 7. Environment has been ruined by lots of development especially at the industrial area. For that reason, it is important that the wastage is been taking care of as a preventative measure before things get worse. The control system of pH level in this project is done by using LabVIEW which is graphical programming environment software with the addition of fuzzy logic controller of MATLAB. Block diagram of the whole system is constructed in LabVIEW and the calculation of the amount of acid and alkali to be added to the process tank to maintain its pH level at neutral (pH = 7) is done by fuzzy logic controller. Control of pH in mix tank depends on the flow rate which could be manually control by several valves which enable either acid or base to be pumped in. The control development has been designed in LabVIEW block diagram and the Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been created in the LabVIEW front panel. The result of experiment could be easily controlled and several results could be compared to obtain the best neutralization system. Further use of this project could also help the process of drinking water system. Since human has been contaminated by a lot of sickness and it is founded that alkaline water is good for human, therefore this project also could be use to control the alkalinity of water instead of neutralization.
