Planning to do this green juice fast,veggie juicing ... is it okay to still drink coffee if i am on a juice fast? I'm a coffee lover too |
Follow-Up Postings:

Some claim no - some say ease up. I say if you have been drinking coffee all along - I would cut back a bit. To go cold turkey caused the most painful headaches and fatigue. Gave up on the fast. So, find something pure and clean - organic, light roast, shade grown *fair trade would be a plus :). Drink no more than two cups (normal size coffee cups not gigantic mugs. Limit sugar *use stevia perhaps with a bit of pure sugar? No other caffeine then. You will still benefit from the juices. It would be sad to give up due to the withdrawal from the caffeine. In my opinion. Good luck! Happy Fasting. (Might try black tea instead? I still got headaches, tho) |
I don't know what it could cause but I think you should keep your coffee love aside until you are on that green juice fast. |
ManojK , I was thinking the same too as it will contradict the essence of my green juicing diet |
definitely against the spirit of the fast, especially if you are adding any cream/sugar/artificial mess to it. But, I think just pumping a lot of juice in your body is a really good thing whether or not you are drinking coffee. I have found when I am drinking large amounts of juice, the withdrawal from caffeine is much more manageable. I have also at times done tea to get some caffeine during a "fast" |
worriedone thanks for the suggestions! black tea is also good.. i've started my green juicing diet and stayed away for now with carbonated drinks and caffeine, quite hard but my cravings are leaning more towards the green juice already.. i love my juicer! i'm loving my green juice diet.. |
sradleye, i'll try that , a tea while fast juicing.I also think about the sugar and creamer i use if i drink coffee while juicing greens. |
Black coffee with no sugar I think is okay because the calories are negligible. I've heard that coffee is loaded with antioxidants, so that will probably help with the detoxing. But you need to quit coffee during juice fast if you will be tempted to eat pastry, donuts, etc..but if that is not a problem for you then I say go ahead and have some. |
Nope. I have done my juice cleanse (organic fruits and veggies) last month. Drinking coffee could ruin your fasting ritual because it's acidic. |

The brand's key words are uniqueness and originality

There are numerous patterns to choose from: designs inspired by Japanese kimono prints, multicolor stripes, micro and macro flowers, polka dots, bright two-color combos.
Oval, round, butterfly, cat eye: the ultra-colorful, trendy frames are an anthem to originality and conjure up the shapes of the '60s and '70s with decorated silhouettes and temples in unconventional shapes.
The exclusive prints are sealed in a coating of acetate and every pair of glasses comes in ad hoc packaging.

I have various types of ornamental grasses that are surrounding a house that I bought and are very mature and VERY OUT OF HAND. I do love them, but I am continuously cutting them back. Is there a way to "stunt" there growth? So that they may stay 3-4 feet instead of 8'. I live in Pennsylvania and they are all planted in full sun. Any advice will be GREATLY APPRECIATED as my knowledge is extremely limited. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can divide them or root-prune them. The techniques and timing vary somewhat, based upon the kind of grass each one it, so the first thing to do is ID them. Then closely examine the crown of each one. If larger warm-season grasses are starting to 'donut' (die off in the center) you'll make divisions using only the outer perimeter of the crown. Cutting them back is seldom desired, especially if they are large warm-season grasses. It leaves the ends of the foliage squared off and usually browned, and just doesn't look right. |
Ultimately, the better solution would probably just be to replace with more compact varieties. Even in the larger grass species like Miscanthus there are shorter and taller varieties. |
Yes. If they're 8 feet tall, they will always be 8 feet tall, no matter how much you divide the clump. |
- Posted by steve1young 7a Long Island (My Page) on Mon, May 21, 12 at 14:38
I've started using a dividing technique that makes the process less daunting. I think of the clump as a big pie and cut it up into pie pieces using a recipracting saw, then dig out each 'pie piece' by first digging from the outside of the 'pie'. So quick. So easy. I use an old blade I don't really care much about just in case I run into any stones. Try it! |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Mon, May 21, 12 at 18:33
Replace them with shorter versions of similar grasses. Dividing them won't change their height. |
If you take a division from the perimeter of an 8' Miscanthus, it will take 2-3 years for the plant to reach mature height again. It's like starting over with a young plant. |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Wed, May 30, 12 at 15:20
True, but doesn't reduce mature height. |
Make the hole deeper, give them a sunken living room. |

The highly controversial, yet much anticipated epilogue DLC expansion for MAss Effect 3 has officially launched on Xbox 360 today. Hopefully this added clarification can offer some moment of solace to ME3 fans who felt slighted by a (according to them) sloppy ending.
When ME3 launched last March the outcry was almost instant. Fans who had invested large swaths of time in the series, and had become emotionally invested in the characters felt that the ending did not do justice to the series. In fact, many alleged that the ending simply didn't make any sense under any level of scrutiny.
Bioware controversially responded by saying that they would be clarifying their original set of endings with an epilogue DLC that would provide added closure for long-time fans. They said the ending would not fundamentally change, but they agreed that some clarification was in order.
To that end, today they released a whopping 1.9GB DLC pack with four new endings (which we'll post shortly,) which are already up on the internet if you want to save yourself the trouble of actually playing the game. Hopefully this pack can bandage the wound in the ME fan community. Though we have a feeling this is only the beginning of a brand new controversy.
The PC and PS3 versions of the epilogue should be out some time today.

Lazerus: Crusaders enjoy the view from the top
By Mark Lazerus firstname.lastname@example.com | 648-3140 February 22, 2012 11:18PM
Valparaiso's Erik Buggs tangles with Loyola's Joe Crisman in the first half Tuesday evening at Valparaiso University. | Jeffrey D. Nicholls~Sun-Times Media
Updated: May 9, 2012 10:17AM
VALPARAISO — Suddenly, that Horizon League tournament format isn't looking so terrible to Valparaiso.
A year ago, the Crusaders finished one game out of a three-way tie for first place, yet they had to win four games to win a championship, while Milwaukee and Butler only needed two. It was even more unfair for the third co-champ, Cleveland State, which missed out on the two double-byes because of tiebreakers.
"Obviously, you'd rather play two games than four games, so I think if you're first or second, you probably like the formula," VU coach Bryce Drew said. "And if you're third or fourth, you probably don't."
This year, as the outright Horizon League champion, Valparaiso likes it an awful lot. The Crusaders get the double-bye and the right to host the second round, the semifinals and the finals should they win that semifinal game.
"Looking at it from this angle, we love it," junior point guard Erik Buggs said with a laugh.
But the system still is clearly flawed. Last year, the three-way tie showed quite obviously just how unfair it can be to give second place such a huge advantage over third place. This year, the league is even deeper and more wide open. There are six, maybe seven teams with a legitimate chance to win this tournament. The talent gap between first and seventh just isn't that big, let alone the gap between first, second and third.
And while nobody can argue that the Crusaders earned this championship — they're the only team that beat every other team in the league this year, and whenever a game absolutely had to be won (at Milwaukee, at Cleveland State, even vs. Loyola on Tuesday night), Valparaiso won it — there's a growing theory around the league that the Crusaders aren't even the favorites to win the whole thing, especially with the way Butler has come on of late, winning five straight.
The Horizon League built the tournament this way to improve the odds that the team with the best chance of performing well in the NCAA Tournament actually reached the NCAA Tournament. The question people around the league are asking is, is Valparaiso — a team that lost by 18 to eighth-place Wright State, by 15 to seventh-place Green Bay and by 18 to sixth-place Youngstown State, and to three Summit League squads — really that team?
Perhaps a better way to phrase it — are the Crusaders so far ahead of the rest of the league that they've earned such an advantage? Has anybody?
Well, the Crusaders might have their doubters around the league, but not in their locker room.
"I think we deserve it," junior Ryan Broekhoff said. "I think we've definitely had our ups and downs during the season, but we've shown against the good teams that we can win. We've had a big win at Cleveland State, a big win at Milwaukee, and we really kind of solidified ourselves against the top teams. Obviously we've had some games where we haven't played our best, and the scores have shown that. But I do think we've earned our spot."
OK, enough playing devil's advocate. The fact is, this is the system the Horizon League has come up with, and Valparaiso is the victor, so it gets the spoils. And let's not lose sight of how impressive — and unexpected — this league championship is.
It's a remarkable achievement for a team that lost its three best players, including the league's presumptive player of the year, Brandon Wood. A team with a first-time head coach, no less.
Drew has had a masterful first season in the first chair, taking a team full of returning role players and new faces and molding it into a championship team. The Crusaders play smart, they play unselfish and they play hard.
Drew has given this team an edge, a grittiness and a never-say-die attitude that has helped the Crusaders mount big second-half rallies (like UIC last week), stave off opponents' big second-half rallies (like Green Bay on New Year's Eve), pull out wins when they're clearly not at their best (like Loyola on Tuesday) and bounce back from bad losses (only once all season did they lose two games in a row).
There's a killer instinct on this squad that's been missing in recent seasons. Drew deserves a lot of credit for that, and he'll likely be rewarded with the league's coach of the year honor.
"At the beginning of the season, the guys in the locker room and the coaching staff set goals," Buggs said. "Our goal was always to finish atop the Horizon League."
It seemed far-fetched at first. The Crusaders — with no scholarship seniors — were picked to finish fifth, with the idea that next year would be Valparaiso's chance to contend. But Drew, Broekhoff and the rest of this team sped up the process, jelled almost immediately and sent early notice that it could be a legitimate contender with a weekend sweep of Akron and Duquesne, then a great half at Ohio State, then a big, gutty win at Butler to open league play.
And while the rest of the league kept waiting for the Crusaders to falter, they never did. That's why, for the first time ever, they can call themselves Horizon League champions.
(And, yes, for the first time ever, they can say they like the league tournament's format.)
"It's really exciting," Buggs said. "Especially coming from my freshman year (2008-09), when we were 9-22. I've been here since we started to grow as a program, working to get back to the glory days, so to speak. This is huge, not just for our program, but for the Valparaiso community."

Visanthe Shiancoe Exposed in Locker Room Video
by Andrea at . CommentsViewers got to see a bit more of Visanthe Shiancoe than they bargained for after Sunday's Vikings-Lions game, during the Fox post-game locker room broadcast, when Shiancoe adjusted his towel exposing more than his tight end.
Shiancoe, wearing nothing but a towel, was standing behind team owner Zygi Wilf as he presented the game ball to coach Brad Childress' son, Andrew, who just joined the Marine Corps. Shiancoe adjusted the towel, inadvertently exposing himself, appearing naked briefly on camera.
Dan Bell, vice-president of communications for Fox, issued an appology for the incident, stating, "It was an obvious oversight on our part, and we apologize."
View the Visanthe Shiancoe locker room photo and video below.

Stephen Chopek
Soda Can - United States
Stephen Chopek was banging on pots and pans as a toddler, so it was natural that at a young age he was ready for a drumset, and soon after, for classical percussion studies. By age 15, as a member of the Bergen Youth Orchestra, he had performed throughout New Jersey and New York at venues such as Carnegie Hall.
An inquisitive musician, Stephen also drew on lessons acquired in rock groups and his high school's jazz program. Making the short trip from New Jersey to New York City, he would visit clubs to hear the legends whose music he was learning by day.
Later, while a student at William Patterson University, he continued todevelop by performing with the university's percussion ensemble, which took on demanding scores by composers like John Cage and Edgar Varese. After graduating, he decided that to achieve his potential, he needed a more direct method oftransmission, one attuned to his eclectic sensibilities. It was at this time that he set out to make contact with some of the drummers who inspired him.
That effort led to studies with Billy Martin, of Medeski Martin and Wood. Martin recognized Chopek's creativity, and encouragedhis interest in the infinite possibilities of the drumset. As a result, Chopek found himselfincreasingly attracted to unorthodox methods of sonic experimentation. It's adirection that can be heard on his recordings with The Fireworks Collage Project and on his self-titled solo CD (both available from Perhaps Transparent Records at perhapstransparent.com). Chopek's most fateful musical encounter also happened around this time: a letter of introduction and a recording of his playing dispatched to Leon Parker elicited an invitation to study with the acclaimed percussionist.
"Leon threw me into new situations, pushing me to step up to the next level. He had a lot of confidence in me, and kind of took me under his wing," says Chopek. "Leon would have me sit in at bassist Ugonna Okegwo's jam sessions and at his gigs with players like saxophonist Virginia Mayhew." Parker, a winner of Downbeat polls and the New York Jazz Critics' Circle Album of the Year award, helped him find his musical voice and the confidence to unleash it.
Stephen soon earned a leading role in Parker's Vocal Body Percussion Ensemble, which for its premiere was commissioned to create a performance for Central Park's 1999 Summerstage series. Shortly after, Parker was calling on him to perform with eight-string guitarist Charlie Hunter. It was through those sessions that Stephen was invited to play percussion on Hunter's latest Blue Note Records self-titled release. By the time the recording was complete, he had been asked to join Hunter's trio.
Stephen was a member of Charlie's band from 2000-2002. Shortly after his final gig with Charlie, Chopek began touring and recording with Grammy Award winning singer songwriter John Mayer (2002-2003). Stephen performed on Mayer's 2003 release Any Given Thursday. Since then, he toured and recording with The Alternate Routes (2005-2007), Jesse Malin (2004-2005), Marc Broussard (2003), and many others.

3DMark06 is the very latest version of the "Gamers Benchmark" from FutureMark. The newest version of 3DMark expands on the tests in 3DMark05 by adding graphical effects using Shader Model 3.0 and HDR (High Dynamic Range lighting) which will push even the best DX9 graphics cards to the extremes.
3DMark06 also focuses on not just the GPU but the CPU using the AGEIA PhysX software physics library to effectively test single and Dual Core processors.
As you would expect, with the Albatron and ASUS having the same clocks, performance is quite similar between the two cards.

Gear Review
sick small-framed goggles
Got these for my sister for her b-day and she loves them. Got the black w/ silver chrome and they are mirrored pretty sick, ppl would have to be right up in ur grill to see ur eyes and prob still couldnt very well. She likes them too because it is a smaller frame, so while it isnt really a women's goggle it fit smaller faces well. Having said that though they do lack a bit in peripheral vision because of the small frame, but I never thought that was a big deal anyways. No fog issues either which is always a good thing, and the construction feels solid. Overall sick goggles.

RCIA is the normal way in which adults and children of the age of reason - defined by the Catholic Church as 7 years of age and older - become full, active, participating members of the Catholic Church.
RCIA is not just a "convert class" with a new name. It is a faith formation process, celebrated by special rites during the Sunday liturgies at various times throughout the year. RCIA involves the whole community - in prayer as the rites are celebrated, in hospitality as new members are welcomed and in service projects and assistance with parish ministries.
It is most important to understand that RCIA is not merely a new way to prepare adults for Baptism. Baptism is one of the sacraments conferred. The goal of the process is Full Communion and full, conscious and active participation in the Eucharist and in the whole life of the Catholic faith community.
RCIA helps individuals to grow in relationship with God, to become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices, to get acquainted with others in the parish community and to become involved in service within the community.
How long is the RCIA process? When are the meetings?
At St. Laurence Church, the RCIA formation is held on Sunday mornings. The process begins in September and initiation rites are celebrated on Palm Sunday for the baptized and on Easter Vigil for the unbaptized. The formation continues for six weeks after Easter during the period of Mystagogy. (Contrast this relatively short time period to the days of the early Church when catechumens, those studying to be members of the Church, had to prepare for three years before becoming initiated.)
From September to November, the Sunday meetings begin at 10:30 am with coffee, juice and light refreshments, followed by a session at 10:45 am. These sessions are in the St. Laurence School Dining Hall. After the Rite of Acceptance & Welcoming in early November, all RCIA catechumens (unbaptized) and candidates (baptized) are required to attend the 9:00 am Mass. As a group, they are dismissed from Mass after the homily to "break open the Word" with one of the RCIA catechists. All regular Sunday sessions conclude promptly at 12:30 pm. THere are also other scheduled events such as retreats and scrutinies that are part of the journey.
For a detailed schedule of dates and times, please refer to the RCIA Calendar link which can be found on the RCIA Home Page.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Issuing correction to correct headlines
The following is a selection of quotes from editorials and commentaries
published in the 10 November 2011editions of Arabic language newspapers
in the Middle East and North Africa, as available to the BBC at 0800
gmt. Any material from the previous day is indicated as such. Quotes
from Palestinian and Iraqi newspapers and those published in the UK are
being filed separately.
Iran's Al-Vefagh: [published in Arabic by IRNA]: www.al-vefagh.com
"Western media claims and fabricated reports [on Iran] before releasing
the IAEA report prove that they are trying to alleviate pressures on the
West, especially Washington and Tel Aviv as a result of Arab uprisings
on one side and the crisis that hit the USA because of
anti-globalization moves as well as inter-Zionist differences on the
other side ... Washington is trying to jump over international laws and
use international organizations for its political and aggressive
purposes. It did not learn a lesson from the failure encountered by it
and its allies from the Islamic republic which confronted the logic of
arrogance in previous times, proved its credibility in construction
cooperation with international organizations and invited inspectors from
the IAEA to visit Iran's nuclear establishments to confirm that their
programmes are peaceful. This new report will go with the wind as was
the cas! e with previous reports." (Editorial - "Gone with the wind")
Qatar's Al-Rayah: www.raya.com "The ball is in the court of the IAEA's
governors' council, which will convene in Vienna on 17 and 18 November
so that member-states will decide on whether to refer the issue to the
UN Security Council to impose new sanctions on Iran. But this does not
prevent the IAEA and Iran to pre-empt the meeting, return to the table
of negotiations and give Iran an opportunity to respond to the
accusations in the report. This will certainly pave the way for new
talks on Iran's nuclear issue and prevents the explosion of the region
and making it enter into a nuclear race, especially that Israel owns
military nuclear technology and incites targeting Iran's militarily."
(Editorial - "Dialogue about Iran's nuclear issue")
Saudi Al-Riyadh: [privately-owned, pro-govt]: "Maybe the USA is forced
to cope with Israel with a strike that does not harm Iran or impede its
project, but blows up the internal scene. The benefit from any
destruction against Iran and its neighbours will be in the interest of
the USA and Europe which will assume reconstruction afterwards ... Iran
maybe a key to end the economic crisis, representing a new option."
(Editorial - "War caused by financial crisis")
Jordan's Al-Ra'y: [privately-owned, pro-govt]: "In addition to the
West's fear for the security and safety of Israel there is fear for the
oil and gas supplies from the Gulf area as a result of any military
offense on Iran and its retaliatory measures. For these reasons and
others it would be crazy to force the area to war whose ramifications
would affect many countries of the Middle East. Also the USA has not
been able yet to get rid of its involvement in the wars in Iraq an
Afghanistan and overcome its huge financial crisis which is paralyzing
its movements on the international scene. This will force it to review
its situation and decrease the possibility of striking Iran. It will
focus on diplomatic efforts to convince Iran to fulfill its
international commitments." (Commentary by Ali al-Safdi - "No more than
an escalation to threat Iran")
Jordan's Al-Dustur: [privately-owned, pro-govt]: "It has to be stressed
that the Zionist enemy will be the main beneficiary because the war will
allow it an opportunity to deal with the Palestinian people and complete
his plans and impose them as a matter of fact. War will also give Israel
an opportunity to escape the international pressures after refusing to
comply with international demands and stop building settlements... All
indices and evidence point out that the region is on the brink of
explosion and that the Zionist enemy is pushing in that direction."
(Editorial - "Israel is waging war")
Kuwait's Al-Siyassah: [indep]: "Israel intends to direct a painful
strike to Iran in coordination with the USA and NATO which abides by the
two main powers of this alliance, Britain and France. These strikes will
be against the Iranian nuclear plants, the revolutionary guards, the
bases of the long range missiles, infrastructures and all airports. This
strike will not happen before the US forces leave Iraq so that they are
not in danger of Iranian missiles. Iran will reply by missiles on Gulf
countries and Israel through its legitimate agent in Lebanon. But the
Iranian military reply will be weak for it lacks military technology and
air force while the air force of its foes is advanced in quality and
quantity." (Commentary by Ali Bassad - "Indices of a military strike
against Iran")
Egypt's Al-Jumhuriyah: [pro-govt]: "The liberation of Palestine will
remain the main issue for the peoples of the region who refuse
occupation, offensive politics and Israeli terror supported by the USA.
As for the Iranian crisis it is but a veil for the Israel-American
hostility towards the ambitions and rights of the Arab peoples. These
peoples are able through their awareness to shred this veil and reveal
the offensive plots which only scam the agents and those unaware."
(Editorial - "The enemies of Arabs and the Iranian crisis")
UAE's Al-Bayan: [privately-owned, pro-govt]: "The truth of the matter is
that Washington needs Tehran to supply suitable security and political
circumstances for the US forces to exit Iraq. It also needs it for the
possible results of war in Afghanistan... In the previous years each
side was seeking to improve his ability to negotiate and seemed not to
want to force the matters to more trouble. As for now the matter cannot
be postponed any longer and is approaching the moment of decisiveness
Obama's administration is hoping for. Israel is trying to make it a
military moment of decisiveness in order to entangle the USA, once more
after Iraq, in a war in which the US, Iran and Arab will suffer losses
while Israel will be the only winner." (Commentary by Subhi al-Ghandur -
"An Israeli military strike against Iran?")

us.icebreaker.com, one pound, eight ounces
Perfection is rare, but Icebreaker might have achieved it with the new Kodiak Hood. (Why it's called a Hood Jacket and not Hoody still mystifies us). This elegant-yet-functional hoody is made from Icebreaker's highly insulating Realfleece 320, a brushed, 100 percent merino wool fabric with Bluesign-accredited nanotechnology that adds water repellency and stain resistance to the wool. For those not in the know, Bluesign is a group that's dedicated to maximizing consumer protection in the textile chain from raw materials and chemical suppliers through the manufacturing process to the consumer. The nano water repellency really works, earning this jacket four-season status. In three weeks of testing in the frequently-sodden Eugene, Oregon, our tester reported that moisture beaded on the jacket without penetrating in all but monsoon conditions. But the real artistry is the fit. The hood is shaped to fall over the forehead without blocking vision, with a slight peak at the center to keep rain off the face. And in contrast to many wool jackets that get saggy with wear, the Kodiak features five-inch-wide stretchy -side panels under each arm, continuing down the sides to the hem. The panels are made of a lighter-weight wool fabric than the body (which is definitely mid-to-heavy weight) so that it breathes better, and provides a more tailored but unrestricted fit. We love the ragland sleeves that also increase the jacket's freedom of movement. The cuffs have are cut longer over the back of the hands, a nice sartorial touch that adds warmth on cold days. On the outside is a zippered Napoleon pocket with a media cord loophole—nice when we're listening to tunes in a blizzard.

"Throw away all your old flashlights and headlamps," said our tester after taking the NAO on a three-week road trip. "The reactive-lighting NAO is the only headlamp you'll need, or want to use." We don't take the word "revolutionary" lightly, but the new NAO headlamp is worth getting excited about. In contrast to other lamps, the 400-lumen NAO has a beam that automatically adjusts to focus on your target. If you're pouring over topo maps, the light adjusts to a wide beam with low output. When you look out the tent fly to see if it's a raccoon or bear rustling by the picnic table, the beam focuses, with greater light intensity for—drum roll please—a distance of 300 feet. Other advantages include fewer manual adjustments and a better burn time than any other headlamp we've tested. The NAO comes with a single rechargeable lithium battery that's guaranteed for 300-plus charges—we didn't do the math, but that's a lot of alkaline batteries you won' t need to buy. Each charge provides nearly five hours of use in high Reactive mode (the auto-adjust) or eight hours in low Reactive. You can set the lamp on a constant function, which disables the sensor, but cuts significantly into the battery life, as the Reactive power setting really does make power use more efficient. The rechargeable battery can be replaced with 2 AAA batteries, but our testers swear that the rechargeable battery ups the lamp's performance. We were leery of the downloadable battery management program that allows you to adjust the light intensity, burn time, and beam distance on a computer, but are happy to report that even techno-troglodytes found it easy (and fun) to customize the lamp's performance. The easiest option is using the custom profiles pre-programmed to enhance performance for specific activities like climbing, running, trail running, and hiking. Two features worth noting: a big off-on knob that's easy to manipulate with gloves or in the dark and a water-resistant shell that never leaked, even during a monster Texas monsoon that one tester encountered while night hiking up a mesa near Lajitas.
Carrying a hard, rigid, bulky water bottle takes up valuable space, which is why we're partial to the soft-sided variety. Touted as "the Anti-Bottle," the Vapur Element is constructed of a durable three-layer, BPA-free nylon plastic, and when it's empty you can roll it up and slip it into a pocket, purse, or pack (try that with a hard bottle). In fact you can fold, spindle, and mutilate it—and it springs back to its original shape without cracks or dents. The dishwasher-safe bottle has a cap design that delighted our sausage-fingered testers: it flips open with the flick of the hand and seals soundly, with no leaks. What sets it apart from other flexible bottles is that it can be frozen, so you can use it for an ice pack, or fill it half way, freeze it, and then fill it up with liquid in the morning for an icy cold beverage. The free-standing bottle comes with its own carabineer, so you can easily clip it to a pack.
Available in 0.7 liter and 1 liter volumes and three color options
We're always on the lookout for all-natural fabrics that are sustainable, skin-friendly, and not infused with chemicals. And while Nau never fails to wow us with their sleek, sophisticated, active-meets-haute designs, their new Tencel fabric gets a standing ovation. Made from the pulp of sustainably grown eucalyptus trees, Tencel has a smooth-fiber structure that's softer than silk, easily washable, and durable. Nau selected this new fabric because to its "neutral electric properties," which basically means your muscles aren't affected by the material (in contrast to many synthetic yarns that feel itchy or clingy). The fabric was tested with electromyography, a method developed by orthopedic physicians to detect the excitability of muscles under the skin. In addition to not sticking to your skin, Tencel has excellent wicking properties, helping to regulate your temperature by absorbing sweat before it can get caught between your skin and shirt, keeping you cool in hot temperatures and warmer when you're sweating on cold days. The regenerating fiber is manufactured using a closed-loop system, which uses a non-toxic organic solvent solution. A full 98 percent of the materials used to make Tencil is recovered and reused, making it one of the most eco-friendly regenerating fibers available.
Products with Tencel, like the men's Arye T-Shirt and women's Variant and Stratum dresses are now available at Nau's online store.
Like a snake shedding its skin, spring offers the perfect excuse to trade our down-insulated apparel for lighter fare. The Vice Blazer remains one of our fashion-forward favorites. The jacket's tailored details—the heathered texture, angled button-down pockets, half-lined interior—cast a casual, hip impression. Hidden within those sartorial details are a bevy of tech specs that appeal to our inner gear geek. The poly/organic fabric blend has been treated with DWR to shed water, the drop-in internal pockets are deep for your sundry must-haves, and a narrow U-lock fits perfectly in the zippered rear pocket. As with most Nau jackets, the sleeves also shape out at the cuffs, creating a cycle-friendly profile to cover that awkward space between glove and sleeve. The buttons synch all the way to the collar, but on cooler, windy days, the cold can slip through the buttons; a wind-proof layer is a smart accessory. The jacket performs equally well while traveling, letting you fit into whatever well-dressed scene might dominate. The Vice has proven so desirable, one tester had his stolen while attending a travel conference in Glasgow. Perhaps that's how the jacket got its name?
