Jessica AndradeTRAINING: I wake up at 7am, have a glass of milk and go running. Usually I do about 10kms in the morning. When I get back home I rest a bit and at 10am I go to the gym to do strength and conditioning. From there I go back home to have lunch. At 12:40 I leave home again to get to the gym at around 1:30pm to have my boxing training. At around 3:30 I leave the gym and go back home, rest a bit and have dinner. At 7pm I'm back at the gym and I do my 2 night sessions, which are usually Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu or MMA. From there it's back home. I take a shower and go to bed. When and why did you start training for fighting? I used to do judo in school, and when I was finishing high school I was invited to start training jiu-jitsu. Eight months after my first jiu-jitsu class I had my first pro fight, I loved it and had to keep on doing it. That was back in 2011.

There is, however, a brand new song champ to applaud -- Kenny Chesney's "Come Over," which takes the crown after a comparatively quick 11-week sprint.
The only new entry in the albums lineup is the self-titled Love and Theft. It bows in at No. 4.
Returning to the fray are Lyle Lovett's Release Me (back at No. 67), Icon: Hank Williams (No. 70), the Turnpike Troubadours' Goodbye Normal Street (No. 74) and Sara Evans' Stronger (No. 75).
Toby Keith's "I Like Girls That Drink Beer" is the highest-debuting of the week's four new songs, roaring in at No. 28.
The other newbies are Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" (No. 54), Kelleigh Bannen's "Sorry on the Rocks" (No. 59) -- not to be confused with Porter Wagoner's 1964 hit, "Sorrow on the Rocks" -- and Jaida Dreyer's "Confessions" (No. 60).
Rounding out the Top 5 albums cluster are Chesney's Welcome to the Fishbowl (No. 2), Luke Bryan's Tailgates & Tanlines (No. 3) and Carrie Underwood's Blown Away (No. 5).
The No. 2 through No. 5 songs are Gloriana's "(Kissed You) Good Night," Love and Theft's "Angel Eyes," Dierks Bentley's "5-1-5-0" (last week's No. 1) and Blake Shelton's "Over."
Tim McGraw's "Truck Yeah" is up to No. 17 in just four weeks. But it's closing in on a traffic jam. We'll keep you posted.

Someone else came along and asked the boy how he knew the kite was still there even though he could not see it from below. The boy replied that he knew because, every once in a while, he could feel a tug on the kite's string.
That is how Gravley describes the thing he said drives him and gets him through each day, his Christian faith. Though he cannot see God with his eyes, Gravley said he feels that God keeps tugging at his heart, like a kite on a string.
Originally from Calhoun, Ga., Gravley moved to Birchwood with his family when he was a teenager. After graduating from Rhea County High School and taking some classes at Chattanooga State Community College, he started his own construction business. He now juggles the business with his work at church pastoring youth, and at home raising a family with two children under age 6.
"I find myself pulling my hair out and asking God how I can take on anything else," Gravley said. "Then, he sends help."
His business, Gravley Construction, in Birchwood, has him working most days before turning his focus back to his church and family. But even then, he said his mind is always on them even when he is swinging a hammer or installing flooring at work. Gravley said he has been trying to become a master of multitasking.
"When I'm working on someone's home, I'm thinking about the youth," he said.
Gravley is a member of Oasis Revival Center, also in Birchwood. He said the nondenominational church started in 1999, meeting in people's homes. When it finally had its own building, their new meeting place caught on fire and burned down. Gravley said the decision was made to rebuild. Since then, he said, the church has been trying to reach people in the community with its Christian message by doing things like knocking on doors and offering bus rides so everyone who wants to attend Sunday morning and Tuesday evening services has the transportation to do so.
In addition to being the church's youth pastor, Gravley drives a 28-passenger bus for the church and is a singer on its worship team.
While he as very quick to give credit to everyone else involved in the church, he admits the service schedule creates some unique challenges for the bus drivers who must have their buses ready to pick up children and youth beginning at 4:30 in the afternoon on Tuesdays.
"We find ourselves working half-days to get our buses ready," Gravley said.
As a licensed general contractor and construction company owner, he routinely does projects like converting screened-in porches to finished rooms and working on houses that he has chosen to "flip" by purchasing and renovating them to resell at a later date.
Rachel, his wife, works as a medical assistant and they have two children, 5-year-old David and Jessica, 4.
He said tragedy struck his family when his older sister, Jessica, died in a car accident before his daughter was born. When Rachel was pregnant with their daughter, they decided to name her after Jessica. When baby Jessica was scheduled to be born by C-section, they had to choose a different date than originally planned. Gravley said he realized later that his daughter's birthday, Sept. 8, would be the same as his late sister's birthday. Once the baby was born, he called his mother to tell her the news. When he mentioned the time of birth, his mother fell silent in shock. He said she then told him that baby Jessica was born not only on the same date as but at the same time as well.
He and his wife were both very surprised by that piece of news, he said. But they took it as a sign that everything was going to work out well for the family.
"God knew what he was doing," Gravley said. "There was another baby being born into this world that was going to do great things."
Much of his time is spent going from one responsibility to another, and he said his wife has told him she does not understand how he can manage to stay calm with the stresses of running a business, helping the youth in his church get through tough times and raising a family.
"It's tough to balance," Gravley said. "You sit there and juggle the things of life, wondering when you're going to drop something."
His solution is to keep going regardless of stress, and points to his faith as "the only reason" he is able to accomplish as much as he does.
He advises anyone juggling things like ministry and other responsibilities to pray and know that there is a greater plan for their lives than they can see with their own two eyes.
"Don't ever, ever give up," Gravley said.

Is it just me or is ev-ree-one getting injured this season? The latest two to go down are Tulo and, of course, Matt Kemp who appears to have an unhealthy number of hamstrings. I mean, the number of hamstrings is not really the issue. It's more his talent for injuring all of them that is rather eerie. Point is, while this is all basically good news for the Giants, seeing as it significantly weakens the division for the time being, I don't wish injuries on anyone. And honestly, for me, it makes it less fun when the best guys are not out there for the opposing teams. Yes, I just admitted to enjoying watching Matt Kemp play against the Giants. Feel free to shoot me now.
To avoid further sticking my foot in my mouth, I think for now I'll just link back to this Massive Assortment of Get Well Soon cards post and leave it at that.
Before I go, though, Cubbies tonight. This is cake, guys.
Not of the chocolate kind, sadly. We're talking more the Theo-Epstein-and-Jed-Hoyer-have-not-worked-their-magic-yet kind. I am on record somewhere (that I can't find, so maybe that doesn't really count as record but no matter) saying they'll win the World Series in five years or fewer, so let's enjoying beating them while we can, shall we?

p.s. This made me much happier than it should have. Jimmy Fallon sporting – and rocking – the orange and black. Also, my haircut looks better washed. This has been surprisingly lovely Friday. Yeah.

Freegreen.com Design Competition Asks Competitors to Define the Design Concept of Affordable Luxury
Freegreen.com is challenging you to help define the design concept of Affordable Luxury. Gone are the days of free-flowing mortgages, and multi-million dollar McMansions. In this "new normal" home owners still desire livable, ascetically pleasing, and luxurious homes, but now need these same concepts implemented into smaller more affordable residential structures. This creates the perfect opportunity for the design community to take charge of this challenge and be the first to create new home designs, and design delivery methods that meet today's restraints and requirements.
Competitors will select one of two user profiles ("The Modern Retreat" or "The Traditional Family") and design a single family home that fits their chosen profile. Competitors will be able to design for a lot of their creation, but will be asked to identify the Climate Region that their entry is designed for, which will help the public and the jury better determine performance benefits. Affordability and Constructability is a key in this contest so all entries should be targeted for an eventual construction cost of $220,000 to $410,000 (The Range of Regional Average New Home Costs, U.S. Census, New Residential Sales Data, 2009).
Registration Deadline: September 1st, 2010, Submission Deadline: September 3rd, 2010

Transportation in Stockholm
The Stockholm underground system, the Tunnelbanan (known as the T-bana), is the fastest way to get around town, and with just three lines, simple to negotiate. Tickets range from SKr36 to SKr72 depending on which zones you want to travel in. If you're planning to make several journeys you might be better off buying a day pass for SKr115. The T-bana runs until around 1am on weekdays and about 3am on the weekends.
The Stockholm buses, run on eco-friendly ethanol, are also a good way to explore the city. They come in three colours: blue, green and red.
Catch a taxi from train stations or key spots around the city, but be prepared to pay the price. Taxis take credit and debit cards.
The best way to get around central Stockholm is on foot. You can walk through the entire city from Norrmalm to Södermalm, passing many of the key sites, in less than an hour.
Rent your car
There's a congestion charge for Swedish-registered vehicles entering Stockholm, so you need to know if this is included in a car rental charge. Despite this, the city has little traffic compared to many European capitals, with 25 park-and-ride sites in the outskirts and many city hotels with onsite parking.
Transportation tips
Tourist pass Stockholmskortet (available for one, two or three days) includes travel on the underground, boat sightseeing tours and free entrance to 75 museums and attractions. Travel cards are available at all underground stations as well as Pressbyrån kiosks, and Stockholmskortet can be found at the central train station, the Stockholm Tourist Centre and a number of hotels.

As the title says, I have a Re-Leathered WWF Hardcore Replica Belt and a Toy Biz Evolution of Sting 6-Figure Box set up for grabs.
Regarding the WWF Belt, this was a commissioned piece purchased back in 2001 from the now defunct Championship Leather website. The plates are situated upon genuine leather, with a gold tip and better paint scheme than the original belt.
As for the WCW Sting set, these are MIB with the box having some wear around the velcro "flaps" and corners. If anyone is interested or would like to see pics, feel free to send me a PM or direct e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks !

May I just say that while I am remarkably bad at bowling, I am wicked good at air hockey? My defense can be shakey, but my offense is something to behold. Still, I think I am a lost cause at bowling. The only reason I go once in a blue moon is so that I can do a dramatic "strrriiiikkkeee" when someone (not me, obviously) gets a strike.
So today's game was a practice run for the royal wedding I guess (Which I: Am. Not. Watching.) because otherwise starting at 9:35am is inexplicable and warrants a phone call to Bud himself. I hate baseball games in the morning. Yes, I know that it was 12:35 in Pittsburgh. Maybe this is payback from the East Coasters for making them stay up so late. This is a theory I'm going to have to contemplate.
Anyway. Vogelsong surprised me with a strong outing and I was really happy for him, even if I would have preferred to see our wacky lefty. The offense looked like me at that time of day. Functional, but not exactly raring to go.
What really struck me today, though, is how little we know this team. No one has fallen into their spot, exactly, yet. That's partially because of the injuries and partly just because it's early. And somehow I think Giants fans- or maybe just me- are still riding the adrenaline of last November because there was never exactly closure. Do you know what I mean? It's slightly surreal and it feels like all this year has been about last year, though the ceremonies have ended. I think we're subconsciously grappling with the idea of a new season, nearly a month in. What part will Vogelsong play? Can Aaron Rowand survive months and months and stay warm, if not hot? Was Torres really a fluke? Was Tejada a bust? DeRosa? How will last year's late pick-ups fare? We really know very little.
But we're getting there. The team is back at .500 and we've had strong replacements for all the injured players. We're cutting through the roadtrip and the Nationals are at 10-12 and have lost two in a row (now where's Bryce Harper?!). This is:
And I don't know a whole lot (read: nothing) about football, but from what I'm reading the Niners would have been smart to take me on as their GM.

JusticeCorps is an innovative national service program that minimizes the justice gap in California communities by training college students to provide information and assistance to people who come to court to resolve family, housing and financial matters but can't afford an attorney.
The JusticeCorps program will post applications for AmeriCorps member positions for the next program year in January 2014.
Learn more about being a JusticeCorps member in each of the program's three regions:
The JusticeCorps program assists California courts in meeting the needs of self-represented litigants (people who come to court without lawyers) by recruiting and training over 250 college students and recent graduates annually to help litigants in California's court-based self-help centers. JusticeCorps members make a commitment to national service by :
JusticeCorps members work under the supervision of court attorneys. Since the program began in 2004, 1,700 members have successfully completed the program and have had the following impact:
For more information:
The ability of individuals facing family, housing, financial and personal safety crises to access the legal system and understand and safeguard their rights is vital to achieving economic self-sufficiency and promoting community stability. To help improve access to justice and ensure fair outcomes for all, California has committed to doing more to help people who need to resolve important civil legal issues but don't have professional representation. California Rule of Court 10.960 provides that court-based self help centers are a core function. Self-help centers serve as a single point of access for court users navigating the court system on their own. The JusticeCorps members serving in these centers provide legal information, not advice-- they help people help themselves. Funded by the California Judicial Branch and an AmeriCorps grant,, JusticeCorps was first launched as a pilot program in Los Angeles County in 2004, expanded to the Bay Area in fall 2006, and then to San Diego in fall 2007.Currently, over 250 members serve in the program annually. Minimum-time members commit to 300 hours during an academic year in self-help centers. In return, they receive approximately 30 hours of training as well as a education award when they complete the program. The program also offers full-time service opportunities in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and San Diego. Full-time members serve 1,700 hours and receive a $20,000 living allowance throughout their one-year term of service.
JusticeCorps is a collaborative project of the California Administrative Office of the Courts; the Superior Courts of California, Counties of Alameda, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara; 8 University of California, California State University campuses, and private colleges; and many community-based service providers.

Set F, Good Lighting Slide Set:
Set F
#1 Text slide: An alternative IDA slide. |
#2 Text slide: Light Pollution, Radio Pollution, Space Debris |
#3 A negative photographic image of the sky, taken with the Schmidt telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, in eastern Australia. The tracks are due to passing space debris! It is nearly impossible to take photographs with this or similar telescope with getting one or more such tracks. Most objects in Earth orbit are, in fact, space junk, space debris, and not functioning satellites. |
#4 Text slide: Urban Sky Glow |
#5 Text slide: Urban Sky Glow: A Serious Threat to Astronomy and the Environment |
#6 Text slide: What Can Be Done: ... |
#7 Text slide: Solutions I: ... |
#8 Text slide: Solutions II: ... |
#9 A schematic chart of the differences between good and bad lighting. |
#10 A chart illustrating that not all reflected light from the ground gets into the sky. Trees and buildings block light, and multiple reflections are common. Remember that about 80 to 90 percent of the light is absorbed at each such reflection in most cases. |
#11 A color coded (by computer analysis) illustration of the sky glow above the city, looking from a distance toward the city. Red is the brightest, tapering off as one looks further above the city. |
#12 An "all-sky" photo of the sky, from a location south of Tucson AZ. The sky glow near the horizon is from the city, a city of about 700,000 inhabitants. The sky is still dark at locations rather near the city, and at Kitt Peak National Observatory, about 35 miles to the west, the increase above the natural background is less than 10 percent. |
#13 A decorative street lighting fixture, at Chinatown in San Francisco. Clearly, such a fixture is far more for decorative purposes than for effective street lighting. As such, it should have as low a wattage lamp in it as feasible, so that it looks nice and is not glary. |
#14 Effective advertising lighting. This sign at the Stardust, in Las Vegas, has won several awards for its effectiveness. It is not necessary to have the maximum amount of light that one can afford in order to be effective. In fact, such "overkill" is not good lighting in any situation, and would be counterproductive to any quality advertising. |
#15 An aerial view of one of the major streets in Tucson AZ. Most all of the lighting that we see is advertising lighting, as all of the major street lighting in Tucson uses full cutoff fixtures. Clearly, there is a lot of wasted light from such advertising signs. This street is a prime example, as are many streets in most cities, of the garish, harsh, poor lighting so common in most of our cities. We can and should do better. |
#16 An effective sign. The dark background with lighter lettering is most effective, as it is in many signs we see about us. The only white background part is to highlight the Emergency lettering. |
#17 An excellent full cutoff LPS lighting fixture, used for a walkway at a major university. |
#18 An example of a decorative "street lighting" fixture, on the right. It has a low wattage lamp in it and looks quite attractive at night. The lighting level is so low that there is no glare. But it puts only a little light on the ground, of course. So the full cutoff street lighting, above and set back from the road, is used for the actual street lighting. A very nice combination, done with good design thought. |
#19 Is this what we mean by Light Pollution? Humor works well in all talks, and slides that can offer some are most useful in any set. So is dialog to accompany the slides, and indeed, humor is an essential part of most any successful talk. |
#20 An astronomical object, also a source of light, as are the Sun and the Moon and the stars. This one is M16, or NGC 6611, or the Eagle Nebula. It contains a number of hot, young stars (as stars go, only a few million years old) and glowing hydrogen gas which is emitting light on its own due to the intense ultraviolet energy output from the hot stars. There is much we can learn from the careful study of the universe about us; we must insure that such studies will be able to continue into the indefinite future. In addition, the contemplation of the universe is a most impressive thing to anyone who views it from a prime, dark sky site. It is not just astronomers who love the universe and are inspired by it. It is all of us. |

Hello everyone,
In May I was delighted to be elected as the new Chairman of the North West Regional Committee of the Institution of Mechanical Engineer, succeeding Dr David Ball who has stepped down after two fantastically successful two years in the Chair. So, to begin with I thought I'd take this opportunity to introducing myself to you.
I have been a Chartered Engineer since 2000 and a Fellowship since 2008. Two achievements that I am very proud of. I currently work for Sellafield Limited, up in West Cumbria, where I have worked for over 21 years now in various engineering roles. However, I haven't always worked in the Nuclear Industry as I began my working life as an apprentice fitter/turner with British Steel (as it was then) in Workington, who sponsored me through University, where graduating from Salford University in 1988.
On the IMechE front, I was a founder committee member of the West Cumbria Area, when we resurrected the former 'Whitehaven Panel' back in 2000, and have held various committee roles including Chairman and Secretary (twice).
I am of course an IMechE and STEM Ambassador, organising and taking parting in many educational activities in West Cumbria each year, including, the IMechE's Engineering Your Future and Our World in 2050, as well as numerous other Primary and Secondary School STEM activities. I am also an IMechE eMPDS Mentor and a Professional Review Interview for IMechE members seeking election as IEng, CEng or Fellow.
Throughout my active roles with the Institution I have always had one main passion, and that is "Inspiring the Next Generation". I firmly believe if we are to stop the haemorrhaging of our Engineering Skills Base we need to start that 'inspiration' as soon as we possibly can, and that means getting in early at Primary School Level to 'sow the seed' that Engineering in what makes the World Go Around at Key Stage 2, and we do that though our STEM activities with 'Primary Engineer' initiative. Once in Secondary School, we need to 'Inspire' them again at Key Stage 3, to take that seed and make it start to germinate into a realisation that Engineering is a career you can really aspire to and a role which plays a vital part in solving the World's problems, be that Global Warming, Energy Sustainability, or future Transportation solutions. We do that through our 'Engineering Your Future', 'Girls in Engineering' and 'Our World in 2050' initiatives.
When our budding new engineers are through their Secondary Education and off to University, we may be tempted to sit back and say; "well, we've done our bit", but no we can still loose them. I forget the actual figure, but it's hard to believe that somewhere in the region of 15-20% of Engineering Graduates don't actually take up a career in Engineering!! They are enticed away into banking or some other service sector profession. So it's vital we 'Inspire' them while they are at University to keep that inspiration going, which we do with our inter-university 'Design Challenge' competition, which was started here in the North West by David Ball, and this year is going 'National' with a pilot competition being run in London with the main Universities in the Capital.
And there is much, much more that we could be doing, 'Greenpower', 'Bloodhound', 'Smallpiece Trust', to name but a few, but we don't have the volunteer resources to do them.
We also have some great opportunities in Media Relations, eCommunications, Website Administration that we are looking for volunteers to get trained and involved in at Regional level. And it'll look great on your CV.
As some of you are aware, we have adopted Three Key Objectives in the North West Region that are aligned to the IMechE Business Objectives and are the mantra of everything that we do in our Areas and Divisions.
The Three Key Objectives are fundamental to what we do, and at my first Regional Committee Meeting as Chairman, the Committee reaffirmed it's commitment to them and took the opportunity to agree a slight re-focusing of our them, ensuring that we retained their original intent and alignment to the HQ Business Plan, but at the same time allowing us to better recognise the great work we are doing on our STEM activities:
Watch out for something else new this year – an IMechE Regional Committee Meeting Near You!!! Yes the Regional Committee is going on the road. We are moving the meetings around the four Areas that make up the Region. So whether you're in South or West Cumbria, Lancashire or Greater Manchester, there will be a Regional Committee Meeting on your door step over the next 12 months. So why not come along and see what we do and talk about. Or better still offer get involved.
Well that's enough from me for now. I hope to meet as many of you as possible during my stint as Regional Chair, but in the meantime, please feel free to get in touch with me about anything to do with the IMechE. If I can't help you right away, I'll certainly find out who you need to talk to the get the answer you are looking for.
Best Wishes,
David J Williamson CEng FIMechE

Customer Reviews
- Does It All (Review by LiquidLiquid)
This is a phenomenally light, very tough piece that packs down to nothing in its own pocket. I am 6' 2", 180 with a 41" chest, long torso and it fits beautifully. I like my shells slightly larger than necessary, to allow for insulation underneath and a wide range of body movement without riding up or pulling back. Very quiet for X-C in backcountry trips, and in high exertion or warmer weather breathes like crazy, preventing the momentum-stopping nightmare or doffing extra clothing.
Hood is big if not wearing a helmet or hat, and the single-point adjustment does not do the same job as a 3-or 4-point rig does. The zip is a single slider, well flapped from the inside, and stays put. A double slider would make it perfect, but the breathability of the Gore Active membrane lessens the need for it. However, this jacket meets its design goals and provides a super packable, all-elements package for last-layer wear.
Fit and finish are superlative, with all seams taped, welded, and sewn on-line. Cut allows great range of movement. A keeper.(Posted on 1/13/15)
- Unstoppable (Review by Apud)
In the summer I'm backpacking in the southern rockies where I get caught in daily monsoons, and in the winter/spring I'm in Tahoe skiing. I depend on my Axiom just about every day, and it never fails me. Considering the price though, I wish the hood could cinch down as it falls off even when the jacket is fully zipped up when it is windy (hence the 4 stars). However, this jacket is unstoppable and is great in all weather. It is the most affordable Gore-Tex Active rain jacket among all the other top brands like Patagonia and Marmot too making it silly not to invest!

- Axiom Jacket (Review by Gavin)
Had this shell for a few seasons now and it has shown no signs of wear. Perfect for continually wet and/or windy environments when you are being active. Used it for climbing, hiking, backpacking, and as a shell while snowshoeing. Vents well enough that I have never seen a need for pit zips. I'm 6'4" 160lbs (so pretty tall and trim) and I bought a medium. I continue to buy from OR for their great trim fit and sleeves that aren't cut too short. Medium was barely long enough thankfully. My go to shell for active and likely wet pursuits.

- Top Notch (Review by Dale )
Another jacket that's a go-to for just about everything. Very water and wind resistant yet breathable and being so versatile for it's weight, it comes with me more than the helium II. Perfect for ice climbing in medium temps [greater than 15F] and for ski touring and mountain days where the weather is questionable, wind and precip could be a factor and the temps aren't too warm. This is part of an ideal layering system from OR: echo base, radiant hybrid, axiom jacket for when the wind picks up, and the filament for taking the edge off on the summit.
I'm 6'1", 185 lb, 43" chest, neutral ape index and the medium couldn't fit better. I would label it as 'trim' or 'athletic' fit, with an amount of stretch that prevents it from tearing when brushing sharp granite on scrambles or chimneys, or when you swap tools on a cross over, and the fabric moves with you. Worthy of the praise bestowed upon it.(Posted on 4/2/14)
- superb light weight alpine shell (Review by Peter)
This is a superb light weight alpine shell. I have about 30 ski tour days and 20 hiking days in my Axiom. The Axiom stuffs into its own pocket and packs to the size of a water bottle. There are some smaller-packing "insect wing" shells on the market, but none that offer true alpine wind and weather protection like this. This isn't a gossamer layer, it's real Goretex that cuts wind and sheds snow. The sleeves fit long for active movement, the overall cut is slim and athletic so nothing is left flapping in the breeze. The hood adjustment works well w/ or w/out a helmet, even while wearing gloves. Fair warning though, this Goretex active fabric does require that you refresh the DWR. If you think outerwear should never be cleaned or re-treated, then this isn't the jacket for you. My only gripe is that the side pockets are un-useable while wearing a pack.

- The Axiom Jacket is well suited to all those situations in which rain and wind leave no escape and, at the same time, intense physical effort is required. (Review by Go Out Project)

- Excellent Shell (Review by Clayton)
Got this jacket last winter and I love it. Very breathable but still waterproof. The new goretex active fabric is a great addition. I've used it for skiing, ice climbing, alpine climbing, regular old rock climbing, etc and it always works great. Also extremely light weight compared to most other hardshells.
(Posted on 11/7/13)
- Excellent jacket (Review by Gerhard)
Got this jacket right after it came out and I have to say this is way better than any jacket I have ever owned. I use it mainly for ski mountaineering and alpine climbing in the PNW. In terms of breathability it is a significant step up from pro shell. I have worn it during nasty down pours and during cold morning hours as an insulation layer while climbing. I even take it if I don't expect any rain and use it like a soft-shell. It is perfect for mountaineering. The stretchy and lightweight material OR chose is a blast to wear and truly moves with you without getting in the way. The tightish cut also makes it easy to get to your harness. In terms of wear the jacket held up well. I was a bit worried about it initially since it is very light, but all my worries are gone. No rips or tears in mine after abusing it for a year - and I am not easy on my gear. I wear a medium at 5'11''; 175lb. It fits a light-medium puffy underneath. Anything more serious needs to go on top. Don't mess with it OR :) I'd give it 10 stars if I could.
(Posted on 11/4/13)
- best ever (Review by Freddy Grossniklaus IFMGA guide)
The Axiom jacket got all the awards last year for the simple reason: it is a very light but full on protection rain/wind protection. It is with me on all trips so I can pull it out when it get's nasty. It allows me to move freely and do my job while looking professional. The choice for the IFMGA team for a reason.

The best tailgate party of the year returns
milwaukee brewers May 7th, 2013
This year's Pants Party is going to be the absolute best. For those of you who don't follow us on social media, we are doing the Pants Party 3 funding entirely through IndieGoGo. What does this mean? It means we have multiple reward levels designed to allow us to hold the biggest Pants Party yet. You want your name on your shirt? We can do that. You want a set a bags to go along with your tickets? We got that. You want to go to Saturday's game? We got you. You want your own booze? We got that too. Unless you want a blownado, we probably got you covered.
The party will be on Sunday June 23rd before the 1:10 game against the Atlanta Braves. (This is also Polish Heritage Day and everyone who actually makes it inside will get a Polish Sausage bobblehead.) The party will start as soon as they start letting cars in the parking lot. We will have all-you-can-drink beer, an additional drinking option (think jungle juice,) all-you-can-eat food (brats, as well as some next level tailgating food,) tailgating games, t-shirts, stickers and much, much more. I am not kidding when I say that it is going to be the best tailgate party of the year. It's going to be the best tailgate party of the year.
How much do I believe in this thing? So much I made this video. Read the rest of this entry »

The Nonpocalypse
Friday is the 2012 Winter Solstice. There's been years of sensational hype about the date, much based on the Mayan Long Count Calendar cycle and some supposed apocalypse.
But the claims are based on bad archaeology, bad astronomy and bad geology.
Hosted by Andrew Geller, in this program, there is taped audio from both David Stuart, the Linda and David Schele Professor of Mesoamerican Art and Writing at the University of Texas at Austin, and Mark Van Stone, a Maya expert specializing in Maya Hieroglyphs and calligraphy. They discussed the complete lack of basis in the Mayan calendar system to support any apocalyptic claims this Friday.
Andrew next speaks live with Kristine Larsen, professor of physics and astronomy at Central Connecticut State University, to debunk the astronomical and physical sciences claims.
Storyteller, mythologist and author Michael Meade will join in last to provide background and context regarding apocalypse, apocalypsis (the original term) and why claims regarding 'the end of the world' hold such sway in certain cultures. Michael latest book is Why the World Doesn't End.

Oregon Coast Bridges
Portland preservationist Ray Allen has written a book about the many bridges of the Oregon Coast Highway. The coast has been a travel route for thousands of years, but it wasn't until the 1930's that a government-sponsored project to build five major bridges was completed, linking North and South, and changing the local economy forever. One man, engineer/architect Conde McCullough, was primarily responsible for the success of the project. Ray Allen talks about the beauty of McCullough's concrete arch bridges, and the challenge of building in remote, rugged locations. He enables us to compare this accomplishment with contemporary challenges such as the Columbia Crossing on Interstate 5.

Fighting Coal Transport Through the Pacific Northwest: Reform and Revolution.
Oregon and Washington have dramatically reduced coal-powered energy generation. As a result coal companies are pushing to export tens of millions of tons of coal from Montana and Wyoming, through Pacific Northwest ports, to Asian markets. The coal would pass through dozens of communities in Oregon and Washington by rail, barge, or ship. Mercury and other toxins from Asian fired coal returns to the Columbia valley as blowback and acid rain.
KBOO's Joe Meyer presents interviews with:
Phil Rigdon, Deputy Director for Yakama Nation Department of Natural Resources - http://www.yakamanation-nsn.gov/

Aria Minu-Sepehr on "We Heard the Heavens Then", his memoir of a boy in revolutionary Iran
Host Marianne Barisonek speaks with Aria Minu-Sepehr about his book We Heard the Heavens Then, a memoir of a boy in revolutionary Iran. Seen through the eyes of a ten year old with unusual access to the two poles of his society – modern and traditional – the tale recounts the rising tension, collision, and eventual fallout of the split.
Following the fall of the Shah of Iran in 1979 and the purges that targeted the author's class, Aria Minu-Sepehr sought refuge in the United States. The hostage crisis, a year later, would prove that the edicts of the Iranian Revolution could impact the global community and destroy the goodwill of one people for another. Aria Minu-Sepehr has worked to bridge that divide. He has lectured on issues concerning Iranian culture and U.S. foreign policy, and created and directed Forum for Middle East Awareness at Susquehanna University, where he also taught world and Middle Eastern literature. In 2007, an excerpt of We Heard the Heavens Then was awarded the John Guyon Literary Non-Fiction Prize. Aria Minu-Sepehr lives with his family in Oregon.

3D/Large Venue Projectors
Apr 25, 2012 3:57 PM, By Llanor Alleyne
While large flatpanel displays get a lot of attention as the visualization outlet of choice for many venues, projectors are still ideal for application briefs that feature large audiences in complicated lighting situations. With the 3D evolution fully upon us, projector manufacturers have been quick to answer the demand with projectors that provide the latest 3D bells and whistles as well as sharp image output with reduced susceptibility to environmental conditions. Here's what some manufacturers are currently offering for 3D and large venue applications.
An ideal fit for large venues that require extra brightness to show crisp, clear images, Barco's FLM HD20 projector is an ultra-bright, durable projector with full HD picture-in-picture capabilities. With 20,000 lumens light output, the FLM HD20 is able to display widescreen, high-contrast images even in venues with lots of ambient light. Other features include a contrast ratio of 1,800: 1 with a high-contrast mode of 2,400:1, low noise levels thanks to liquid cooling, a sealed optic engine that prevents dust, smoke and other environmental contaminates from impairing picture quality, extended lamp warranty (750 hours), and good lamp maintenance at typically 1,000 hours.
Designed for use in demanding settings, BenQ's SH960 large-venue projector boasts full HD 1080p native resolution and 5,500 ANSI lumens ultra-high brightness for brilliant images. The SH960 is equipped with a 3,000:1 contrast ratio and a native 16:9 aspect ratio with a full 1.07 billion-color palette. The projector's dual-lamp design allows users to opt for maximum brightness or choose an eco-mode that extends lamp life by up to 30 percent. H+V Lens Shift technology gives users flexibility in projector placement, allowing the focal point of the lens to be adjusted in venues where dead-center placement isn't possible.
Canon's new LV-8235 UST ultra-short-throw projector is capable of displaying an 80in. image from only 1.04ft. away. Combining 2,500 lumens and a 2,000:1 contrast ratio with a compact design and a wide range of installation options, the LV-8235's HDMI input allows it to project crisp HD images, from a wide range of hi-definition sources. Cited as a perfect partner with the laptop computers most used by students and professionals because it has WXGA native resolution (1280 x 800), the LV-8235 UST also offers 3D sync support as well as quiet operation and closed captioning.
Christie Digital System's Mirage HD20K-J DLP projector offers customization based on need. Each projector, for example, ships with the ILS lens mount but allows users to use their existing CTS lenses and offers a wide range of optional lenses based on installation requirements. The HD20K-J features1920x1080 HD resolution, 18,000 ANSI lumens, a 3KW CERMAX Xenon pre-aligned lamp module, two standard full 330MHz dual-link DVI-D input cards, and variable contrast ratio using an adjustable iris capable of 1,600-2,000:1 (full on, full off) or 650:1 ANSI. A dust-sealed engine keeps out environmental hazards while liquid cooling allow operating temperatures up to 104 degrees and set-up lights aide users in seeing menu displays in low-light situations.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
For 2012/13 almost every Atomic ski is equipped with a Rocker. But what exactly is a Rocker? Rocker refers to a reverse camber of varying degrees in the tip and – depending on intended use – the tail of the ski. A conventional ski is cambered, its tip is short and curved, the ski's contact points are close to the tip and tail when the ski is resting on a flat surface while the waist arcs upward. With a rockered ski, the length of the camber is reduced: the pronounced negative camber (the rocker) means the tip and tail rise off the ground much earlier than they do on a cambered ski, shifting the contact points towards the midsection of the ski. This construction has several advantages: rockered skis allow turns to be initiated more easily and carved with less effort; flotation in powder is improved. Skis with rockered tails exaggerate these effects even more. Atomic produces skis with a Piste Rocker, All Mountain Rocker or Powder Rocker. They enhance or complement the character of a ski and the camber is accordingly more or less pronounced. Agile and effortless: the Piste Rocker The Piste Rocker – a lightly cambered rocker below the tip – is the ideal rocker for those who prefer to ski on-piste. Turns can be initiated effortlessly and edging is minimized. The ski runs smoothly and stably and delivers maximum grip on hard pistes. Best of both worlds: the All Mountain Rocker All Mountain Rocker skis are especially versatile: they are built for skiers who love to ski on and off-piste in all snow conditions. The rocker below the tip produces greater lift in powder and allows turns to be initiated more easily. Maximum edge grip is a given on hard pistes. Always on top: the Powder Rocker The Powder Rocker is ideal for skiers who prefer to ski in powder snow. Freeski models have a rocker in the tip and tail, while the Backcountry Touring ski features a heavily cambered rocker below the tip. The result: maximum lift and effortless manoeuvrability in powder.

Weetabix Organic Crispy Flakes & Fiber Cereal has the Whole Grain Council Stamp on the packaging for having 28 grams or more per serving, plus the "Heart Healthy" and "USDA Organic" stamps as well - clear indications that this is supposed to be one "good for you" cereal. A look at the nutrition facts & ingredients label confirms this.
The ingredients are all organic - whole wheat, wheat bran, dehydrated cane juice, oat hull fiber, barley malt extract, oat bran, sea salt, baking soda, annatto and a vitamin blend (detailed on the packaging & website).
Each 55 gram serving of Weetabix Organic Crispy Flakes & Fiber Cereal provides 170 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, 310 mg of sodium (13% of the daily value), 11 grams of fiber (44% of the DV), 10 grams of sugars and 6 grams of protein.
And now we get to the taste. When it's not the first thing I mention, that usually means it wasn't the best thing about the product - and that's the case here. It's not bad, just pretty bland. This cereal is slightly sweet, very crunchy, but no other apparent flavor. But as I said, it's not bad - it's the type of cereal that people who prefer nutrition over taste will eat - and that's me sometimes. It's also a nice accent. Add chunks of a whole banana and just a wee bit of milk, and crunch away. That's my favorite way to eat this and them it's actually pretty good.
A 12 ounce box of Weetabix Organic Crispy Flakes & Fiber Cereal cost $4.29 at my local grocery store, so it's on the expensive side, but for the clean ingredients list as well as all that fiber plus protein, I would buy this again, even over Fiber One Cereal with Honey Clusters Review, but the ingredients are certainly better.

The almost last thing you will hear about the Pants Party
Off-Base August 13th, 2010
Here's where we stand, right now:
I announced we were having a party.
I tried to convince you to go with a list of the five people you'll meet at the party. It was kind of funny.
Then I tried to convince you with our excellent menu. This sort of worked.
I convinced my friend Larry of Wezen Ball to write a guest post for the party. He called it "What's So Great About the First Inning?" and it was really good.
Surprisingly, KLSnow of Brew Crew Ball took it upon himself to invite you to the party in the Frosty Mug. That was cool.
Then, for some reason in a greater surprise, Carson Cistulli of Fangraphs did the same. That was weird, but cool.
Finally, I had Tyler Maas do another guest post today about why you should attend. It was classic Tyler, good too.
Which brings us to now. I've only got a few tickets left and I can't think of anything else to say to convince you to go. We have beer. We have food. We have really cool people to talk to. We have math nerds to pick on. It's going to be a nice day (you hear that God? It's going to be a nice day motherf@*#$r!) and Sundays at Miller Park are the best. It's got a decent price and it's a bobblehead game. That's all there really is to it. I don't know what else to say about it that hasn't already been said.
I'm going to leave this link up for tonight and the rest of the weekend and I sincerely hope you buy a ticket. Not because I want to make money off of this (I'm putting every dime we make right back into the party. More money=more food, beer and prizes), but because I want you to have a good time. This blog has been one of the best things in my life for over a year now (right behind alcohol and hentai porn) and I want to give back to the people who like it. That's it. I want to party with you and if you do we are going to have a good time, even if it kills me (and by me, I mean my liver).
If we sell all our tickets, great. If we sell more than we have, we'll get more and that will also be great. If we don't sell any more, that's fine too. The people who come will have a tailgate to remember. They will love it. If you like this site, you should really consider coming to this event because it's going to rock. If you miss it, you will regret it later. Trust me. I've been wrong about a lot of things on this site (for instance I traded Corey Hart a month ago), but on this one I know that I'm right. We're going to have a lot of fun. Join us.
Have a good weekend.
Beer. Food. Ticket.

I was wondering whether anyone had any success with running a psyker of this kind using the Only War rules. I know it can be done due to the open nature of system, but I was wondering if it was cost prohibitive and/or worth the investment. I've played one in our DH game, and had a blast. Anyone have any insights?

My group has a houserule; you can switch out one of your Characteristic Aptitudes for another, and do the same with the Special Aptitudes.
So you could end up as a Psyker with Willpower, Intelligence, Strength, Weapon Skill, Offence, Psyker and be fine.
If you don't go for houseruling, then it should still be fine. Just a little pricy.
My apologies to anyone I offend; FFG staff, playtesters, and forum users alike.
Please check out my Dark Heresy to Only War conversion! You can find it on the main Only War forum. I'm always looking for more people to playtest it!

This week we hear from Bill Iddings:
Odds are that I stand at least a Ghost of a chance of getting out of "Hamlet" with my dignity intact.
In the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company's production of playwright William Shakespeare's tragedy, the spirit of the title character's murdered father is one of three — make that four — characters assigned to yours truly. The Ghost of "Hamlet" present is one of three — well, four — roles I'm playing in the spring 2010 show that opens on the deadline for filing income taxes, April 15, and runs through mid-May. I'm also stale hamming it up as the First Player, an egomanical actor — but I repeat myself — who later in "Hamlet" performs as the Player King in "The Mousetrap," the play within the play wherein Hamlet (Scott Lange) intends to catch the conscience of his fratricidal uncle, King Claudius (Scott Wright). I lastly pop up as the Priest who gives Laertes (Kyle Walker), the lone survivor of his dwindling clan, some grave concerns over the burial of the young man's suicidal sister, Ophelia (Amy McFadden). "Hamlet" is a tragedy, all right; Characters drop like flies gagging their last in a cloud of insecticide.
With rehearsals underway in Spring Lake at the West Michigan Academy of Arts & Academics, King Hamlet (guess who?) is dead before the first line is spoken. I mean, I've died on stage before — hey, I heard that — but usually I've first had a chance to make an entrance. This must be what happens when your reputation precedes you. Then the meddling Polonious (Laertes' and Ophelia's father, played by Joel L. Schindlbeck) shuffles off this mortal coil, stabbed in the back by Hamlet who's disappointed to discover the old fool behind the arras and on the business end of his dagger isn't Claudius, drat the luck. Ophelia follows, venturing into the "undiscovered country" by diving right into a swim she would have been better off taking while strapped in a life preserver. The Bard of Avon's domino effect continues. Falling one after the other under William Shakespeare's quilt pen are Queen Gertrude (Heather Folkvord), courtesy of potent poison in an ill-advised cocktail; and a hat trick of principals unfortunate enough to be nicked by a fencing sword, the tip of which has been dipped in said poison: Claudius, Laertes and Hamlet, you're outta here.
For good measure, Claudius, who before "Hamlet" begins has poured a concoction akin to battery acid in the ears of his napping brother (guess who?), literally gets a taste of his own medicine. And let's not forget about Hamlet's goofball buddies, Rosencrantz (Brooke Heintz) and Guildenstern (Sarah Stark) who never should have accompanied the melancholy Dane back to England in the first place. Horatio (Kat Hermes) and Fortinbras (Jeff Otto) are the last men standing, even if only one of those actors is actually a male; time for the willing suspension of disbelief.
But be it at the Dog Story Theater in Grand Rapids, Beardsley Theater in Muskegon or the parlor at Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, the final body count will litter the stage with corpses, the clutter orchestrated by director Katherine Mayberry and fight choreographer Steven Schwall.
This time I'll have eyes to take in all the carnage. "Hamlet" is my second production for Pigeon Creek, a professional troupe dedicated to breathing life into plays that were written four centuries ago. My first, last spring, was "King Lear." In that adventure, my white-bearded Earl of Gloucester had a bloody bad time of things, getting my eyes plucked out by Regan (Kate Bode) and her husband (Randy S. Brown), both of whom got what was coming to them.
Take the word of Juan Whonose: Even if it's only make believe, having your eyeballs ripped out of their sockets smarts, hence my howling to make blood curdle. Plus, afterward you suffer from CSSS: Can't See S— Syndrome. Good thing we always had a box of wipes just off stage, usually around the spot where I exited by clanging into a folding chair or bumping into a wall.
Theater is not for wimps. It can, however,be for windbags, egos whose operational philosophy runs along the lines of, "That's enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think about me?"
Not that I'm one to talk about myself.
Hey, I heard that.
