Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures - Page 84
Styles mentioned in this thread:
Mine is not. On the long zipper side of the top U zipper one side of the strap is clean, the other has just light marks. I use mine as a range bag and carry at least 150 rounds of 12 ga. in it which is ~10 lbs. of lead alone. I usually zip it back up when carrying between stations, but not always. I also treat the leather with Bick 4 which I got from a tack shop. Yours does look like it is getting chewed up pretty hard.
lol. interesting,
A fellow redditor!
Thanks! The Filson boot oil is the same solution they use to tan their leather. Applied the boot oil to the scuffed areas of the strap, let it dry overnight, and wiped off the excess. After repeating a few times, strap is good as new.
I'm also looking out for Filson deals. I know HiltonsTent still has the 15% off but I'm waiting for Mother's Day. Maybe there will be better sales then. A bit selfish on mother's day but I'm in love with the 256.

Call the store, call the store, call the store. LOL! By now everyone should know the routine.
Hi all,
This is my first post to Styleforum but I've been lurking for a bit now. I"m proud to say that I'm about to order my first Filson bag (25). I've read this entire thread (not a good thing) and now am having trouble deciding on a bag. There's a lot of excellent feedback here.
There are two needs that I"d like to fill, which is why I am having trouble:
Need 1:
Smaller commuter bag. I usually only carry a sunglass case, cellphone, wallet, the occasional light folders or iPad. But I also would use this as a carry on for flights, which means packing in an Kindle, 13" MBP, Bose QC2 headphone case, small moleskin, passport wallet, food and snacks, etc.
Because of this, I'm leaning towards the 257 but I've seen the 256 fit all of this pretty well. I just like the looks of the 257 organization, and the handle. I just wouldn't want it to be too big and awkward for when it becomes a daily commute bag again without a laptop and such in it. 258 seems too large for my need.
So it's between the 257 and the 256. Also considering a rucksack, but feel this could be too casual if I chose to use it in my future semi-formal workplace. Also thinking about Carry-On Small bag or Field Bag, but sling or handles are usually my style. All of these bags look amazing.
Need 2:
Larger travel hold-all/weekender: Looking for something to throw all of my clothes in with an extra pair of shoes or two, with dopp kit, and possibly some more stored food. I like the look of the duffles (heard the small is "too small") but would like to carry-on only. So I'm still leaning toward the small, because Need 2 will be purchased after Need 1 (already have a rolling carry-on).I like the look of the travel bag.
So this is between the Small Duffle, Medium Duffle, or Medium Travel bag.
I only ask here because right now I am living outside of the US (South Korea) and don't have access to a Filson store. Will only be able to fulfill 1 need right now, thinking need 1 takes priority.
Appreciate any of your help! I've heard a few people say so far that they've never understood why so-and-so carried around that hideous bag, but honestly, these Filson pieces are beautiful work.
Also, could use some color suggestions too. It may see some future use in a more business type setting --I love contrast of the tan, but seeing the brown and green (green faded too) it's a lot harder to pick a color than I thought.
I'm looking to pull the trigger in the next day or two here..
following my waxing hint with the apolis briefcase i wanted to share another modification i did to a small field bag:
since i found the carabiner on the strap way oversized and annoying on the small bag i took a strap from the original briefcase (which is longer) and removed the rivets together with the carabiners. afterwards i wrapped the ends around the two hinges and fixed them with two replacement rivets. the strap is now long enough to carry it crossbody and in addition it feels somewhat safer if you can't quickly open the carabiners in unsafe areas.

It's waxed from the factory so once the water starts penetrating it's time to wax it which is something I've been known to do. Be advised it's not a fast process.

Posted Jun 10 2012 1:57AM
Miami -- What does Chris Bosh's strained abdomen and his teammates have in common? Each just got a gut check. And lived to tell.
The last few games of a tense Eastern Conference final showed how far the Heat have come since last summer and also where they're headed, back to the NBA Finals and a chance to atone for their basketball sins.
They'll arrive in Oklahoma City bent on changing perceptions about their ability to meet challenges and deliver on promises made, doing a bit of both in a foretelling 48 hours against the stubborn Celtics. They'll play for a championship with the hunch that LeBron James is over the stage fright that infamously froze him in fourth quarters last June. They'll start Tuesday comforted that Bosh, after an injury that left him in limbo for three weeks, is now in the running for Sixth Man Of Next Year following a new role and a terrific Game 7. And they'll be Big Three ready with Dwyane Wade, the only one who knows what it's like to actually sip champagne.
The Heat found out about themselves against the Celtics. They were tested, had their souls stripped bare, were thrown to the edge twice and summoned up a little fortitude, and a lot of LeBron, to win another East title. It's an achievement they'll get to enjoy for about five minutes until the public reminds them they haven't done anything yet, that all they did was beat an old team, and barely at that.
You know, championship or bust for this crew, right?
Well. Unlike last summer against the Mavericks and their Lone Star (Dirk Nowitzki), the Heat will actually be underdogs to all that Thunder. That won't win them any sympathy, obviously, but if nothing else, the Heat should be a lot more relaxed. And they'll have the experience of Games 6 and 7 against Boston to remind them that anything's possible.
"I think everything that we go through helps us, even though at times it might be uncomfortable for some," said coach Erik Spoelstra. "But I think we're getting accustomed to that world."
James was MVP-like in that stretch. He followed up a 45-point, 15-rebound classic on Thursday with a tamer performance Saturday, but impactful nonetheless. Locked in a tight game that was up for grabs in the fourth quarter, and after being a facilitator until then, James dropped a three-pointer from Fort Lauderdale and Miami took over for good. His 31 points and 12 rebounds doomed a Celtics' team that had no answer for him all series. For the post-season James is averaging 30.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, five assists and two steals. He played all but the final seconds of Game 7, following a 48-minute Game 6, and is checking in at an exhausting 42 minutes a night in the postseason.
"He's playing at a historic level in these playoffs," Spoelstra said. "We needed every single bit of it. He's pushing himself beyond his limits and he's pushing the rest of the team as well."
But the reassuring news for the Heat came in the form of a surprise and an old friend. The surprise was Bosh and his outside shooting, especially from deep. The old friend was defense, the lockdown kind that limited Boston to nine points in the final 10 minutes and eventually choked the last gasp from the proud Celtics, who were on empty.
Bosh was a thoroughly welcomed sight, especially for James, who's had to do it all in his absence. Bosh came off the bench again in Game 7, and at this point, coach Erik Spoelstra may keep him a sixth man in the Finals. Bosh was fresh enough to drill the Celtics with three shots from three-point range, daggers that broke the game open. Bosh hadn't made that many deep shots in a game all season, but now, Miami has another dimension from a player feared lost for the summer after collapsing one game into the East semifinals.
"I just wanted to get out there as soon as possible and contribute to the team," he said. "That's all I kept thinking about from the moment I went out against Indiana. It was very deflating at first. That was the biggest challenge I ever had in my life."
Bosh had 19 points with eight rebounds and gave balance to a team that, until Saturday, was mostly pulled by Wade and James to a larger extent. Finally, it was the Big Three that Miami envisioned would make the post-season run a whole lot easier, and yet, going seven games with the Celtics could serve as a blessing in disguise.
"It took an amazing effort to beat Boston," said Shane Battier, "and therefore, it's not going to surprise us playing against the Thunder."
It's all falling in place at the right time for the Heat: Bosh's health, James' aggressive nature, Wade cleaning up sloppy first halves with splendid seconds. Miami needs all three to be healthy and at a high level, or else. With a sprinkling of help from the reserves, the Heat may make this interesting and not just a clash between the MVP (James) and the runner-up (Kevin Durant). They lost the title last summer when they couldn't hold a 2-1 lead and James turned to dust in the fourth quarters. Now we get to see what lessons were learned and if they can finally accomplish what they were assembled to do.
"It's been a long 12 months," Wade said. "You play and you try to get back to this moment again, so you can put yourself in that position again to succeed. That's all you can ask for."

Sights and Sounds of the Perot Museum of Nature and Science
With the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science opening to the public Saturday, here's a glimpse into what you'll experience.
With the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science opening to the public Saturday, here's a glimpse into what you'll experience.
Over the summer I began trying out 'alternative' methods of shooting photos by using the iPhone, Lytro's light field camera and the new Canon 5D Mark III. The ongoing Chihuly exhibit at the Dallas Arboretum is a great fit for this kind of experimentation. In case you haven't heard, glass sculptor Dale Chihuly's large scale art work is on display throughout the Arboretum, some as high as 30ft. Chihuly Nights are back this fall so the visually attractive photos happen when the sun goes down and the lights come up.
We found a home from some of the work on the Guide cover this week with an accompanying inside spread about Chihuly Nights. Since there were only a few published photos, I thought you might like to see and comment on some of the others.
The camera formats for the most part are square in nature, so I've kept that in mind when composing my shots. I had great success using the iPhone and Canon but no so much with the Lytro camera. Below is one of the more successful images from the Lytro. The cool new aspect of the camera is that you can refocus the image after it has been shot. So, using your cursor, click on different points in the image, below.
After a posse of Texans with large, white cowboy hats invaded the Republican National Convention last week, we are in for a down-sized version here in Charlotte at the Democratic National Convention, quite literally. Early arriving Texas delegates to the Time Warner Arena on Tuesday were sporting miniature straw cowboy hats with the message "No Friggin' Big Hats!" adorned across the front. Which is no surprise since they are trying to buck the stereotype of Texans.
With the Republican convention in the rearview mirror, I thought it might be kind of fun to look back at Mitt Romney's post-speech celebration, time lapse style. There were nearly 1,000 frames shot from my remote camera at stage right of the Romney and Ryan families bathing in the applause, music and balloons as the convention hit its crescendo. Accented with work by my fellow photographers Louis DeLuca and Lara Solt, and creative editing on the part of our video editor Ahna Hubnik, the final piece comes together with a bang.
What started out as pure curiosity on the part of photographer Gerry McCarthy led to a small photography CSI project.
Gerry found this negative (c. 1992-1994) of me at Texas Stadium posing with another photographer. (Fig. 1)
We couldn't fully make out the image in its negative form so we set about figuring out how to convert from an old-school format using new technology. And it seemed like a perfect learning experience for our summer high school intern who didn't quite know how to view a negative since he is part of the digital age.
So to show him how we could quickly view it in digital format, I thought, we could shoot the negative with an iPhone and inverse the image to a positive. We knew that using the inverse command in Photoshop turns a negative film image into a positive image.
But how to replicate that process by using an iPhone?
Kye Lee opened up a flashlight app on his iPhone to mimic a light table. (Fig 2) After shooting a macro image with another iPhone we used the Photoshop Express app using the "invert" option under the "effects" tab to tone the image as best we could. With limited success getting the exact color, we converted it to black and white. (Fig 3) In the end, I toned the final image using Photoshop CS4 on my laptop. (Fig 4)
After many years working in the newspaper's photography lab making prints from negatives, this was fun exercise in getting a 'quick view' of some film images.
PS. Though I still remember how to make prints, I can't proclaim to remember the name of the person standing next to me. If you can help me out, shoot me an email.
It was quite the chaotic scene last evening at the police shooting in South Dallas.
With emotions running higher than the 100-degree heat, keeping my focus and awareness was my ultimate goal. It would have been easy to lose sight of my safety while trying to shoot meaningful photos.
When photo intern Jeff Lautenberger and I arrived on the scene there was still outrage in the streets over the police shooting of James Harper, a felon known to Dallas Police. With the crowd growing into the hundreds outside Dixon's Grocery, police donned riot gear to set up a barrier between the crime scene and an angry public, creating more tension among all.
Being the photographer in between those two groups can sometimes make you a target of everyone's anger. Like most tenuous situations, I usually work the perimeter of the event at first, then slowly make my way to the middle. Along the way, I'm constantly re-evaluating my surroundings and gauging peoples' reactions to me and my camera. In the end though, gaining peoples' trust allows me to move about the scene so I can make storytelling photos such as these.
It makes me uneasy to take some of these photos. But I know they are a necessary part of reporting what happened and showing the pain that family members and friends are experiencing in such a tragic event. Despite their anguish, friends and family were very approachable and understanding of the situation, and gave me their names or relationship to the man who was shot.
I can only hope that these photos will help in some small way to bring healing and change to the Dixon Circle community.
Though there were people raving in the upheaval, thankfully cooler heads prevailed on both sides of the line. The public had their say as the police carefully held their ground.

I can't draw a lick, but I would be super interested in a thread like this. Might even submit my terrabad MS Paint drawings of Blitz and Heimer's heads for lols. (Beware, simple shapes and no shading, inc >.<). Provided this becomes a thing of course.
Hells to the yes.
If it means we get a new theme like Pulsefire Ezreal for Lux, it's the best idea ever. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Has the next theme already been announced?
Absolutely, I'm all about even more communication between Riot and its community.
Sentient 6
Very much so.
Would be awesome
I like art. Artwise, I like the level that Riot displays, too. I like your proposition, looking forward to it!
Ran Yakumo
Yessss, I don't consider myself an artist but I'd still like some opinions on my drawings
Holy moly, that would be an amazing opportunity. I wouldn't be participating, my art is still in its infantile stages, but I still have to vote yes. Critique and paintovers from industry professionals? Yes please.

The other day, a small group from my church joined others from our neighborhood in a march on Chicago's north side. As we swarmed the streets, temporarily shutting down traffic, I noticed a woman in a car. Some motorists were exasperated, trying to turn around or just glowering at us. Others were supportive, honking their horns to the rhythm of "Siyahamba" as we sang. But this woman did nothing but sit there, parked in the middle of the procession, and wipe tears from her eyes. With visible emotion, she registered shock at this small but mighty band of the faithful marching with a processional cross at our head, proclaiming that black lives matter.
While the crowd's emotion was jubilant and righteous, I couldn't help but feel sad.
Last Saturday was a stay-at-home-and-read-a-book-with-a-cup-of-something-warm-in-your-hands sort of day. It was the kind of damp cold that goes straight to your bones and chills your toes so that they don't get warm for the rest of the day. It was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a good parade-watching day.
And yet, there we were, lined up outside the library on Church Street, umbrellas in hand, peering down the street and waiting for the sirens to indicate that the parade had started.
Baptism and place
There's no good theological reason for baptismal water to be perfectly pure. Still, a person's baptism probably shouldn't land her in the hospital.
Wilderness Hiking as Spiritual Practice
When I go backpacking, I pack light—no laptop, no phone, and especially no books. But reading Belden Lane, I'm tempted to begin toting a tome or two.
Last year as part of a faculty group book-read I encountered Larry Rasmussen's Earth Honoring Faith. In Rasmussen's view, sabbath is one of the resources that could be deployed to apply brakes to a society that is over-consuming the resources of the planet and the lives of its own members. The suggestion of the healing possibilities of sabbath resonated with me not only because of my environmental commitments, but also on a more human level.
Asra Q. Nomani found it impossible to mourn the loss of her dear friend and colleague, Danny Pearl. Pearl, a Wall Street Journal reporter, was beheaded in 2002, purportedly by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. After attending his 2012 arraignment at Guantánamo for the World Trade Center attacks, Nomani asked psychologist Steven Stosny the question she had long avoided: "What is grief?" "It's an expression of love," he told her. "When you grieve, you allow yourself to love again." "How do you grieve?" she asked him. "You celebrate a person's life by living your life fully," he replied (Washingtonian, January 23, 2014).

Rate Dr. Aarti A. Singla
Dr. Aarti A. Singla's Ratings
Agree - this is a horrible doctor! Went to her doubled over in back pain. She sent me for an x-ray, which she wouldn't explain to me why she was ordering. I needed a cortisone shot and pills, which had helped me in the past. After the x-ray they called me back and said I had a kidney stone and to call my family doctor. After a cat scan said I didn't have a kidney stone, I finally got help from different doctors in my home town. I was there due to my insurance.

Horrible doctor. Does not communicate with patient at all. Saw Dr. Singla 3 times and she did absolutely nothing during those visits to help. Just told me things I already knew and charged a bunch of money for it. Also runs very expensive blood tests for no reason. Not sure why she's in pain management. Is not a bit compassionate towards patient. Staff is very nice though.

I've made so much beer lately, and I can't figure out what I want to make next. If anyone who reads this could just suggest their favorite recipe, that'd be amazing. I'm making beer in a couple days and I'd love to make a desicion soon. Cheers!
Try this one:http://hopville.com/recipe/1281110/s...s/midnight-oil
Primary: McPoyle IIPA, Red-x/Amarillo SMaSH On Deck: Eau Rouge On Tap: McPoyle IIPA, Samsquanch RIS, Calypso SMaSH, Regal Pale Ale
Lawnmower beer for summer. Cream of 3 Crops or a nice ginger beer.
Hmm actual recipes I don't have but if wanted I can give you suggestions where to look but as for styles we currently are rotating through a hefe, pale, amber, IPA and stout with doing an ESB, Blonde, Brown and what was supposed to be a Black IPA that turned out to be more of a Black Ale. That Black Ale can be fun since its not really in style but what you want to make of it. Soon enough fruit beers will be good too. Probably right now I've been playing with the Brown using brown sugar deciding on when to add it. Mash, Boil, when during the boil ect...
Did you decide?
Denny's Rye Smile IPA. Best beer I've made so far. Just do a search for it or get it from Northern Brewer.
I made a hefewiezen. 5 lbs pilsner 5 lbs wheat 1 lbs Munich 6 aau perle @60min Wyeast 3068 Fermenting at 62F
Drink don't brew!!!! Gas is more expensive than beer so drink if you drink you don't drive so you save money use the saved money to buy beer ingredients. There fore you are saving money. If you have less than 100 bottles ready to drink you can brew other wise drink. Hilly
I never have more than 100 bottles ready to drink, despite having 3 fermenters going at all times.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Help needed: 6D stays "black" after Firmware upgrade
« on: January 24, 2015, 03:38:35 PM »The actual status of my 6D: It returned yestreday after almost 2 weeks. Camera works now basically. Changed the card-slot-board (if I have translated this right). But now, the main front wheel does not work. Sent it back again.... More to come
Argh, that's a good reason to have a backup camera. But on the bright side: They can hardly charge you again after sending back this camera as "repaired", so imho whatever should be the issue with the wheel should be on them.
The first repair was on warranty (free). As I told the service center, that it returned with an issue, they told me to send it to them again for free (an parcel service fetched the parcel)

I Know That Girl blonde VIDEOS (23)
No wonder dude can't take his eyes off his smokin hot GF. Her big white ass looks BANGIN on the public park gym! How could he NOT roll film of this hottie showing off her shaved pussy in the parking lot and then the nasty fuck they had back home?
Something about being all alone in the mountains, with no one for miles, got Lexi in the mood to be a naughty girl and flash her amazing titties. Teasing her man on the hiking trail got her so fucking horny they raced to their hotel room to bang.
Dakota James sucks so hard at golf she should quit betting to flash her tits every time she misses a putt! Dakota had to show that juicy little pussy, and even lifted her skirt so dude could eat her ass right on the green before racing home to fuck!
Samantha Rone and her boyfriend Matt decided to film their first amateur porn, and even though she's a little shy, Samantha is horny as hell. She fucked like a pro, taking the dick deep in her pussy, and then Matt gave her a nice big facial cumshot!
It was way too fucking cold too jump in the ocean today, so dude took his GF on a little flashing adventure. Chloe got naked in the car, and after putting on a show for her man, slid into the backseat to film up a little amateur girlfriend porn!
Leave it to those saucy Brits to finish off their picnic making an amateur porn. This babe Victoria started flashing her big ass in public and teasing, before she whipped out dude's cock and throatfucked it. Then watch how she bounced on that cock!
Reading her human sexuality book made Anya Amsel horny as fuck, so she thought she'd try out a few of her new moves on her BF. She gave him a blowjob and a sweet titty fuck him until he was hard as a rock, and then she rode him to a big cumshot!
Corinna Blake gave her man a sexy surprise with a bath tub full of milk to cover her big tits and tight body. Once she was dripping wet and feeling horny, that amateur slut took his dick down to the balls in her pretty mouth and tight amateur pussy!
How'd this guy convince his slut girlfriend to flash in public on their vacation? Bailey has the biggest ghetto booty, and she thanked dude for paying for their holiday with a nasty striptease, then he nailed her on the sofa while the camera rolled.
Lucy and her man had the funnest afternoon. They went out for tacos and started goofing around. Lucy lost a wager and had to flash her perky butt and titties in front of everyone in the restaurant. Then they went home and had the hottest sex ever!
Dude promised his slutty girl Jenna Ivory a new necklace if she'd forget the domestic BS and let him film some nasty girlfriend porn. She dropped to her knees and deepthroated his fat cock, then raced to bed so he could tap that thick white-girl ass!

Kombucha Tea may not be better for you than orange juice or grapefruit juice, but it may help support overall health.
Also known as Manchurian mushroom tea, Manchurian fungus tea, Kwassan, combucha tea and / or the champagne of life, Kombucha is a fermented beverage made from mushroom. It contains different cultures, along with organic acids, active enzymes, amino acids and polyphenols. In short, it's the antioxidant cocktail of a lifetime.
In America, Kombucha is most commonly consumed in tea form, but is available in both extract and pill. When taken regularly, Kombucha may help maintain a healthy immune system and fight harmful free radicals.

It was sometime in my late thirties – many years since I had finished school – that I finally stopped having those mild anxiety dreams where you suddenly realize you forgot to show up for a test, or somehow forgot to go to one of your classes all semester. Now I just might start having those dreams all over again. Yesterday I took level 5 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Level 5 (called the N5) is the easiest of the 5 test levels, and by that I mean it's really, really hard. I'm quite confident I failed, probably spectacularly. My Japanese tutor recommends 8 months to a year of study before taking it. I gave it a try after 5 months of very part time study with her (and I'd previously taken a low-intensity class, but that was 7 years ago).
It's a standardized test, like the SATs. I took it at Kyushu University yesterday, which was overrun with mostly young people who were there to take various levels of the test. My general sense is that most of them were Chinese and Nepalese. For many, passing the tests are a requirement for a job or an academic program, so there was definitely a certain level of tension in the air. I was taking it because the thought of "…and there will be a test at end" was something to help maintain my motivation to study.
But my main motivation was to simply get more out of my experience living here in Fukuoka. Living in a place for 6 months is a different experience from a vacation: there's grocery shopping to do, meeting people in your neighborhood, interactions with deliverymen, etc. Not being able to read or engage in conversation makes for a very limited existence.
As you'd expect, Japanese is a difficult language for a Westerner to learn, but in some ways it's easier than you might expect, and in other ways it's even harder than you'd ever imagine.
The easier aspects:
- Pronunciation: it's actually easier for an English speaker to learn how to pronounce Japanese than it is for a Japanese speaker to pronounce English. Japanese only has a few sounds that don't exist in English, and they're not too hard to learn. But English has many sounds that don't exist in Japanese. The biggest difference is that Japanese always has a vowel sound following a consonant (with one exception: "n," like in "udon"). When the Japanese borrow words from other languages, they change the pronunciation to suit them. So when Maria asks me to buy plain yogurt at the grocery store, I look for ヨグルト プレーン タイプ on the label (yoguruto puren taipu – yogurt plain type). In practice, when people talk quickly, some vowel sounds are almost completely dropped, so it's not quite as ridiculous-sounding as it may seem (but it's still fairly ridiculous).
- Basic grammar: Japanese particles tell you what role a word is playing in a sentence. If a word is followed by "wa" (は) it's the subject, if it's followed by "o" (を) it's the object, etc. It's brilliant, and it means word order is generally less important than in English. The most basic verb conjugations have a past tense and a combined present and future tense (whether it's present or future is generally figured out by context). As you might expect, the grammar gets a lot more complicated as you learn how to make more complex statements, but you can learn how to talk like Tarzan remarkably quickly with Japanese.
The mind-bending aspects:
- Reading and writing: Japanese has 3 writing systems (really 4, if you include English letters, which you'll see a lot). Hiragana and Katakana are phonetic, and I'm comfortable reading and writing both of them at this point, albeit slowly (they have 46 basic characters each, plus variations that add up to a total of 104 different sounds). I've only just started with learning Kanji, which is the symbolic writing system. You need to know about 2,000 to read a newspaper. I know about 60 so far. So not only are there a lot of them, but they typically have at least 2 pronunciations (a Japanese reading and a Chinese reading) and sometimes as many as 6 or 7. Like English words, they can also have more than one meaning. It's not unusual to see all the writing systems used in a single sentence. So when I try to read things, I can pick out the meaning of the kanji characters I know, but often I'm not sure how to pronounce them. And I can pronounce the Hiragana, but I often don't know what it means! To make matters worse, there are no spaces between words, so (at least as a beginner) I have to scan back and forth to figure out where words begin and end.
- Levels of formality, and in-groups and out-groups: I've only just started learning this aspect of the language. It's fascinating how Japanese culture is reflected in the words and grammar of the language. The words you use for family members (brother, sister, etc) change depending on whether you're talking about your own family or someone else's family. The verb forms you use with friends are different than the verb forms you would use with your boss. Also at work, you would refer to your boss with a certain level of formality in person, another level of formality when speaking to others in your organization about her, and yet another level of formality if talking to people outside your organization about her.
Living here and being only semi-literate has been a humbling experience. Fortunately, the Japanese are almost always very polite and helpful. So when I'm in the grocery store staring at what seems like a dozen different kinds of milk, all labeled in Kanji, I've learned to not be shy asking which one is the soy milk. Of course, I at least need to know how to say what I'm looking for. Sometimes I can throw in some English and be understood, but not always. When all else fails, it's amazing how much you can communicate with hand gestures. But it all depends on having a willing and patient person to communicate with, and I'm consistently impressed with how helpful people here are. On more than one occasion, when I've been dumbfounded by the multitude of train platforms at Hakata station, I've had attendants not just point out where I need to go, but walk me all the way there.
This is in stark contrast to the experiences of many foreigners when they visit the US. For example, when our friend Yuka came from Japan to visit us in Philadelphia, she got confused at 69th St station, and got yelled at by a SEPTA employee when he quickly got frustrated by her limited English. And there's the famous Speak English! sign at Geno's. Of course there are plenty of helpful people too, but from the perspective of a foreigner in the US, I imagine it's usually a hit-or-miss experience. I'll be coming back home to Philly next month, and there are many things I'm looking forward to (like being a fully functional member of society again!), but I will definitely miss the friendliness of the people here.

Bishop Courtney McBath Ignites Seven Days Ablaze
By Amanda Morad | September 6, 2013
Bishop B. Courtney McBath
Every year, Regent University and the Christian Broadcasting Network celebrate Seven Days Ablaze, a week set aside for refocusing on faith and purpose. Bishop B. Courtney McBath '98 (Divinity) kicked off a week of special guest speakers and worship artists at University Chapel on Wednesday,
Sept. 4.
Referencing the gospel story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, McBath focused his remarks on worship and distractions from worship. "In this age of information and technology, we are constantly bombarded with distraction," he said. "We have embraced distraction as the order of the day. This level of comfort with distraction can draw us away from the good part—from the presence of God."
In the story of Mary and Martha, two sisters and close followers of Jesus, Mary is depicted as sitting at the feet of Jesus while Martha busies herself preparing a meal. Martha expresses her frustration at the unfair situation, and Jesus responds by saying that "one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part." That "good part," McBath explained, is worship.
However, instead of condemning Martha's actions, McBath explained that Martha was doing exactly what Jesus came there to do.
"Don't live your life in the tyranny of the 'or,'" he said. "Live in the genius of the 'and.' It is possible to do what you're purposed to do and still be a worshipper. But it is also possible to do what you're purposed to do and miss out on the essential part, the good part."
McBath noted that Martha began the interaction out of frustration. "You can be unhappy while doing what you're supposed to be doing," he said, citing a personal example from his time as a Regent student. "I was frustrated because I had allowed myself to get distracted by what I was doing instead of focusing on worship."
All in all, worship is most essential, he said. "If you spend your life doing things for Him instead of spending time with Him, it will never bring you peace," McBath explained. "Work has its place, but you can perform the task you've been asked to do and still be a worshipper."
Seven Days Ablaze continues through Wednesday, Sept. 11.

Half-Life 2 review
Firstperson shooters since Half-Life, at least on the PC, have been unsatisfying footnotes to the events of 1998. A smattering of ideas have crashlanded in the ballpark, but everyone is still playing the same game. We've seen better special effects, even some new material to work with, but there's still been a sense of deflation with each new title. Nothing on PCs has quite managed to repeat the fine melody with which Half-Life was orchestrated. But firstperson shooters haven't become outmoded, they've not even lost their way. They've simply not managed to do what we thought they could do.
Half-Life 2, on the other hand, does exactly what we thought they could do. Those unrealised visions of intensity, action, drama and relentless challenge weren't just a figment – Valve knew that. The genre still has a way forward and the Seattle team has found it. Yes, it's a linear shooter: a magnificent, breathtaking paragon of the form. Half-Life 2 takes the squad-based elements, the vehicles, the physics, the gorgeous good looks, the whole sedimentary block of genre conceits and carves out a masterpiece. This isn't about doing things differently to anyone else, it's about doing them better.
How is that possible? Well, it's largely about timing. The set-pieces are, almost without exception, supremely effective. A giant strider tripod crashing through a building, a zombie bursting from a door, a floating-barrel counterbalance puzzle, a duel with a helicopter, a line uttered by an otherwise inconsequential character – whatever it is, it comes barrelling in, pitch perfect to the very second of delivery. And it never stops. Half-Life 2 never lets up; it's a high-bandwidth cascade of challenges. There is no time for repetition or monotony. The sheer urgency with which the player is propelled through the game sees to that. Few games have such a qualified sense of drama. Half-Life 2 tells a story in which you are swept along without feeling helpless.
The intensity of chase scenes, the gut-wrenching loss of friends, the grim brutality of killing – all these experiences are delivered with astonishing vitality. The characters win hearts and raise suspicions. The acting, their movement, their facial expressions, all seem imbued with humanity. The city itself, awe-inspiring, oppressive and terrifying in equal measure, is flawlessly designed. You are embedded in this world.
And no, Gordon Freeman never speaks. No cut-scenes, no muttered voiceover. This seemingly sinister quirk is elegantly handled, gently transformed into a joke by the other characters. Alyx, the core female character, laughs and shakes her head, while Yoda-type aliens mutter things in their own language after informing the player, politely, that they would only ever speak in their native tongue if they wished to say something rude.
All of this brilliance takes place within a framework of sensational technical achievement. The Source engine might not have Doom 3's fearsome lighting, but it nevertheless believably renders everything from a vast brutalist skyscraper to the peeling paint on a tenement wall. The striders, the towering tripedal robots that hunt the army of rebels along the streets, are wonderful to behold. Death occurs on numerous occasions simply from the awesome need to look and gape. Even in the large outdoor spaces, such as the high-speed journey along a temperate coastline, Source remains unfazed. There are a few examples of textures being too stretched and bland, but the naysayers who are liable to worry about that will have bigger things on their minds… such as the physics.
Finally we have a game in which physics are more than just an excuse for ragdoll deaths. Gone is the Mr Magoo effect of running around banging into things and knocking them over. This time the world is there to be grasped. Within moments of Half-Life 2's opening scenes a vicious metrocop throws a drink can on the floor and insists that you pick it up and put it in the bin. In that moment the player is equipped with everything they need to know about the world. And these moments continue – the game constantly teaches us something and then presents a challenge to be overcome by applying what has been learned. This is never more true than in using the gravity gun.
This is the core tool, and it's what makes Half-Life 2 simply sing with entertainment. It can be used to drag objects, pick them up and carry them about. Its second mode can be used to drop, throw or smash them away. The applications for this spread wide indeed. Initially, it's about hurling metal discs through the bodies of encroaching zombies; later it finds an application knocking over the buggy and getting it upright, or dislodging weird sticky mines, or picking up a filing cabinet to use as a shield or a battering ram. Tearing a radiator from a wall and using it to swat a parasitic headcrab, while all the furniture in a room goes tumbling around you, is truly a gaming epiphany. This is possibly the most exquisitely crafted action game of all time.
Half-Life 2 is a firstperson shooter. But in action, storytelling, technical achievement, atmosphere and intensity it has far outdone its peers. Valve just hit the top note no other PC game developer could reach.
Half-Life 2 is one of very few games awarded an Edge 10. You can find the rest here.

I have important information to share with the descendants of Justus Kingman and his wife Patty. (I have found her surname listed as Lewis and Chapman, so I�m not sure of the correct name.) The family can be found in Pompey, Onondaga County, NY according to the 1830 US Federal Census. It appears that Justus may have died between then and 1832, when his widow and several of their children ended up in the Onondaga County Poorhouse. According to the Poorhouse records, three of the younger children, Joseph b. abt 1829, Lafayette, born abt 1827 and Sally, born abt 1824 all died within a month of each other in March and April 1832. Other siblings in the poorhouse were Huldah, born May 29, 1817 or 1818, Henry, born Sep 9, 1820 or 1821, and Jason, born Jun 11, 1819. These three children were bound out to families within the community. I have been able to trace Jason Kingman to Gratiot Co., MI, but he doesn�t appear to have had any children. I have not been able to trace Henry or Huldah, and it would appear from the 1830 Census record, that there were two older sons, born between 1821 and 1825, whose names I do not know. The reason that I am looking for Justus� descendants is that the bodies of the three children who died in the poorhouse have been exhumed and identified, and will be reburied at the Loomis Hill Cemetery in the Town of Onondaga tomorrow, and I would love to let any descendants know about this. I have been working with the archaeologists who were called in to examine the site of the old poorhouse when human remains were unearthed during renovation which was being done for Onondaga County Community College. The Onondaga County Poorhouse records are available at the Town of Onondaga Historians Office. I was able to transcribe these records for the time period when the burials took place, and this is how the archaeologists were able to positively identify the Kingman children. If you have any contacts, would you please let me know, or better yet, feel free to forward this message along to them. I will be at the re-interment tomorrow. A ceremony is being scheduled by the Onondaga Community College, and I can let you know when that is scheduled if you are interested.
