Use of self insurance for experience rating by insurers
March 7, 1995
Recently, a question has arisen regarding the utilization of a self-insured's experience and experience modification factor when going from self-insurance to the commercial insurance market for workers' compensation insurance. This Bulletin is intended to clarify the Bureau's position on the utilization of the self-insured's experience.
Title 24-A Section 2382-B and Rule Chapter 250 Section III, B2c require that insurers and self-insurers adhere to a uniform experience rating system that, in Maine, is currently the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) Experience Rating Plan (Plan).
As long as adequate information is available, the latest experience modification factor, including when self-insured, shall be used by the insurance company (insurer) issuing the policy. The experience developed while self-insured shall be used in promulgating the experience modification factors by the rating organization. The self-insured shall make the data available to the prospective insurer, which shall submit the data, as required by the Plan, to the rating organization on the prescribed forms.
Although the Plan does allow a carrier the option to not use the self-insured's experience, this is permitted only when there are substantial and unresolved questions or concerns with the accuracy or the reliability of the data. When there are questions related to the accuracy or reliability of the data, the self-insured shall make the supporting information available to the carrier and the advisory organization, and the carrier shall make a concerted effort to resolve the problems. However, if after a good faith effort has been made to resolve the problems, or the information is not submitted in a timely manner to the appropriate rating organization through no fault of the self-insured, the insurer may utilize a unity mod of 1.00.
When the problem is the result of the self-insured's failure to cooperate or provide timely information and assistance, Rule Chapter 450 Section 2 D shall apply.
There is an ongoing responsibility on employers to report updated information to their current insurer, as required by the advisory organization's statistical plan (NCCI's Unit Statistical Plan), for the self-insured years at the intervals prescribed by the statistical plan throughout the entire period this information is relevant to the experience modification calculations.
Questions regarding this Bulletin should be directed to the Supervisor of the Bureau's Workers' Compensation Section.
Brian K. Atchinson Superintendent of Insurance
NOTE: This bulletin is intended solely for informational purposes. It is not intended to set forth legal rights, duties or privileges nor is it intended to provide legal advice. Readers are encouraged to consult applicable statutes and regulations and to contact the Bureau of Insurance if additional information is needed.

TNK-BP, BP Plc (BP/)'s Russian venture with a group of billionaires, estimates it's owed more than $200 million by Petroleos de Venezuela SA for crude sales from their heavy oil venture, said two people with knowledge of the matter.
The Petromonagas venture boosted output by 10,000 barrels a day this year, exceeding the capacity of its upgrading plant, which turns the sticky fuel into lighter crude. PDVSA, as the Caracas-based state company is known, has been processing and selling the additional amounts, without reimbursing its Russian partner, the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter is confidential.
Venezuela, holder of the world's second-biggest oil reserves after Saudi Arabia, aims to raise output from the heavy oil-dominated Orinoco belt by 500,000 barrels of oil a day this year with the help of foreign partners. The dispute is a setback for one of TNK-BP's first ventures outside Russia. The Moscow- based company agreed to buy a 16.7 percent in Petromonagas and other assets from BP in 2010 as the U.K. company raised money after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
A PDVSA official, who asked not to be identified because of company policy, said the information is false, without giving any details. Dmitry Sergeev, a TNK-BP spokesman, declined to comment on the matter.
Petromonagas plans further output increases this year. The joint venture will produce 145,000 barrels a day by the end of this year, PDVSA Vice President for Exploration and Production Eulogio del Pino said on Feb. 29. The venture pumped 120,000 barrels a day, he said at that time, 10,000 barrels a day more than in December, according to the TNK-BP website.
Chavez Debts
President Hugo Chavez has relied on PDVSA to finance his social programs since taking power in 1999, reducing cash for the oil company to invest in increasing production. PDVSA's total debt surged 40 percent to $34.9 billion last year after selling more than $10 billion in bonds, while debt owed to service suppliers rose to $12.4 billion, the company said on April 17 in a presentation on its 2011 results.
The company, which reported that net income surged 42.4 percent last year to $4.5 billion as the average price for the country's crude-oil exports rose to a record high, will continue to take on new debt as it looks to develop heavy crude oil fields in the Orinoco belt with its minority partners, Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said on April 17.

AMI seeks data for marina survey
Posted onThe Association of Marina Industries is asking marina owners and operators to take AMI's Financial Benchmark Survey and help build financial information for the industry.

Questions include the number and linear feet of slips, services offered, acreage and square footage of property and buildings and the percentage of total revenue that each revenue stream represents.
The results will be sorted by region and marina type to provide the most refined useful data.
The survey is 22 questions (with several optional questions) and all data collected are confidential and will only be used to develop a statistical profile. Survey participants will receive a free electronic copy of the final report if they provide their e-mail address in the survey.

Americans Desperately Want to Reanimate Princess Diana
Princess Di won with 35% of the votes. She was followed by Steve Jobs (14%), Michael Jackson (11%), Whitney Houston (11%), Heath Ledger (9%), Kurt Cobain (6%) and James Gandolfini (3%). Take that, Mother Theresa.
Other questions on the poll found that more men than women would like to die before their partner, though only 12% of those polled said they'd give their life for their spouse. People would also rather have their ashes scattered in an amusement park than Canada and a shocking 42% of white people would be willing to flip the switch on an electric chair (don't ask me why they separated it by race).
The poll also asked which fictional character people would like to bring back to life (probably because Vanity Fair's looking for a November cover model). Titanic's Jack Dawson took the top slot amongst both men and women, though, for men, The Godfather's Fredo Corleone was a close second. Bernie Lomax of Weekend at Bernie's placed fourth among men, which would entirely defeat the purpose of that movie. C'mon, guys.

Halep beats Kvitova at Madrid Open
Comment on this storyMadrid – Romanian Simona Halep booked her place in the final of the Madrid Open on Saturday with a hard-fought 6-7 (4/7), 6-3, 6-2 win over Petra Kvitova.
After just one break apiece it was fifth seed Kvitova who edged a first set tie-break and the Czech looked on her way to her first final of the season when she led 3-1 early in the second.
Halep responded by taking the next seven games to level at one set all and go an early break ahead in the decider.
The fourth seed then broke the Kvitova serve once more to move ahead 5-2 and comfortably completed victory in just over two-and-a-half hours on court to set up a meeting with Maria Sharapova or Agnieszka Radwanska in Sunday's final. – Sapa-AFP

- Details
Quite rare, this breed is one of nine native to the British Isles.
Dartmoor ponies are a unique breed, always open to improving via new bloodlines. Measuring about four feet, their small stature made them suitable for working in mines. When the mines closed, they were free to roam. Having been domesticated, they were set free. After living in the moors of the south of England, these ponies are tough and strong. Picking up side jobs of escorting prisoners, Dartmoors are well-mannered and dependable. These qualities make them an excellent choice for a child's mount, or even an adult's.

Am I a Beginner?
Today I heard a conversation about beginner cyclists. "Beginner" was being referred to not only as someone first starting out, but someone who's been riding for five years and still considers himself or herself a beginner. Interesting point.

Contrary to popular belief, Republican crazies are not a new phenomenon, said writer Rick Perlstein when he dropped by The Nation's offices recently. So why does it seem that they have only recently polarized America's political and social atmosphere? Listen to this week's episode of Nation Conversations for Perlstein's explanation of the degeneration of the American political scene.

The death of 'America's Oldest Teenager' Dick Clark has resulted in many tributes from rockers of all genres. Perhaps the most in-depth and heartwarming one however, comes from the desk of Alice Cooper.
The death of 'America's Oldest Teenager' Dick Clark has resulted in many tributes from rockers of all genres. Perhaps the most in-depth and heartwarming one however, comes from the desk of Alice Cooper.
Slash led the three-guitar beast that is Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators through three tunes before being joined by rock legend Alice Cooper for 'Schools Out.'
This past Thursday, Alice Cooper appeared at and spoke to the Governing Board of the Paradise Valley Unified School District and of the donation of instruments to Arrowhead Elementary School in Phoenix, and discussed the highly important issue of music education in school systems. The video of the speech can be seen after the jump.
Meet Dr. Alice Cooper! At first, this "no more Mr. nice guy" just wanted to be "elected," but he got a little more than he bargained for- he got a doctorate degree.
For Alice Cooper, the year 2011 was filled with playing over 100 shows in 23 countries, much like many years prior. It must be hard for the band to remember certain shows and distinguish one year from another, so this time drummer Glen Sobel made a five-and-a-half-minute video recapping the band's year, and it can be seen below!
Over the weekend Alice Cooper and his band traveled to Quebec, Canada for Harley Davidson's "Show Harley" event, where old school fans and Harley lovers got treated to an hour of classic Cooper, as well as some other surprises, including the giving away of a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Less than a month ago, Alice Cooper wrapped up his 2011 "No More Mr. Nice Guy Tour," which he had been on since March 1o. He once again toured the world and graced the lives of millions. Next month, a live CD from one of the tour's dates will be released, making it the 9th live album for the star, and his 27th (not including compilations) album overall.
I spent part of my New Year's eve watching my friend's Aerosmith tribute band Toys in the Attic put on a killer show, while the real Steven Tyler was in Hawaii performing on stage with my man Alice Cooper! The two sang a duet of The Beatles "Come Together," which can be seen after the jump.
My man Alice Cooper has been in the music headlines a lot lately, with his current tour in support of his newest album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, his guest host appearance on a television game show, his Halloween haunted house ride and more. Now, the 63-year-old legend is getting his very own documentary that will allow his fans to get a behind-the-scenes look of his life and career.
Last night, my biggest and oldest idol, Alice Cooper put on a classic, vintage show at The Palace Theatre in Albany. It was my fifth time getting to see the legend, and every time is like the first- he always reels me in and amazes me with his talent and entertaining show without fail.
My favorite music legend Alice Cooper, who will be performing in Albany in just two weeks, recently took some time off of his busy tour to have a different type of fun. He was a guest host of the British comedy television show Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Cooper is just one of many guest stars that have appeared on the show during its 15-year run so far.
My oldest musical idol Alice Cooper has been dominating the music world for decades, and has basically had a big hand in shaping rock and metal music into what it is today. Now, Cooper is going to be a movie star aside from actor Johnny Depp in an upcoming Tim Burton film. Who's excited? I am!

On The Record
Why are you the best candidate for Congress?
I am a citizen candidate, raised by two Republicans who, were they still alive, would not recognize their Party. I am running to represent people like them, people who believe that we Americans are all in this together. While we may disagree about some issues, we all want the same things � good jobs, reasonable hope of a comfortable retirement, safe neighborhoods and good schools for our children. I will work with anyone, regardless of party, who is willing to sit down and have serious, fact-based discussions. I carry no political debts or obligations; I am not seeking to begin a new career. Like most Americans, I am simply frustrated with Congressional gridlock and believe that the voices of average Americans are not being heard in Washington.
The U.S. faces a $17 trillion (and rising) debt burden. Can this debt be paid down without raising taxes? Where can spending be cut?
Cutting the debt and deficit should be viewed not as ends, but as means. If cutting does not stimulate the economy, and there is no evidence that it has, then perhaps we ought to rethink our approach. During the last Administration, Congress by and large had no problem running up huge deficits and adding to the debt with income tax cuts not paid for and two unfunded wars. During this Administration, many of those same people have focused on cutting programs that support the least well-off of our fellow citizens while continuing to cut taxes for the most well off. There is no large organization, public or private, that does not suffer inefficiencies, and government should seek to reduce spending wherever returns do not merit existing levels of spending. If we can save by negotiating Medicare drug prices, by reducing tax privileges and subsidies for massively profitable corporations, cutting expenditures on weapons systems that no one wants (or that don�t work), let�s do it. One thing is certain � we should take care that whatever cuts we make do not make life more difficult for average and poor Americans who have not benefitted from the current recovery nearly so much as corporations and the wealthiest among us.
Where do you stand on immigration reform?
We need comprehensive immigration reform; something that some public polling has consistently shown is popular with the American people. The Senate�s 2013 bill, supported by both Illinois Senators Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Mark Kirk, met the requirements set by the Republican majority in both the Senate and the House. I am generally supportive of the bill, although I feel that it spends too much on militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border. Since 1993, the budget of the U.S. Border Patrol has increased nearly 10-fold. The number of Border Patrol agents has doubled since 2003. Benchmarks set in previous bills for border control personnel, fencing, and surveillance have been met, and yet the undocumented population has grown to an estimated 11 million. While it may appeal to those who want to �get tough�, the �enforcement-first� immigration control strategy, like the �War on Drugs�, has been a failure. We need a comprehensive approach, the American people want a comprehensive approach, and I support a comprehensive approach.
What can be changed or improved about the Affordable Care Act? If you favor its repeal, what yould you replace it with?
I would not vote to repeal the ACA. Some 8 million people have signed up under the ACA, and the number of uninsured Americans is at the lowest level since Gallup began tracking it. The percentage of uninsured poor has dropped from 28% to 17% in Medicaid expansion states. These numbers would be even better if all of the Nation�s governors had embraced the expansion, and had there not been efforts by many members of Congress to discourage people from enrolling. The private sector, which has fewer uninsured people, is a good thing for American families, for business, and for health care costs. Clearly, the ACA can be improved, and Congress should focus on improvement. Control of pharmaceutical prices is critical to control of health care costs. Increasing evidence exists that insurers, now unable to deny insurance due to preexisting conditions, are changing their plans to discourage people on high-cost drug regimens (e.g. HIV, cancer and hepatitis C patients) from enrolling in their plans. We need to look at the effects of the ACA on such preexisting health insurance schemes as multiemployer plans to ensure that good plans that meet ACA requirements are not penalized.
Approval ratings for Congress are far from ideal, and that's largely because of partisan rhetoric and the inability to compromise. If elected, will you be willing to reach across the aisle and work with members of the opposite party to resolve this country's many issues? Explain.
I am absolutely ready to work across the aisle in the House. Americans are united in wanting the same things: secure jobs, faith that we will be able to retire without sinking into poverty, good schools, a clean environment, and the hope that our children will do better than we did. While there may be differences of opinion as to how our shared goals can be achieved, we absolutely will not arrive at solutions unless there is meaningful debate of the possible alternative courses we might take. It is in the almost complete lack of such debate that the current Congress, and in particular the House, is failing. Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent or other, the House has done nothing for you in recent years, focused as they have been on multiple and redundant investigations, suing the President, or voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act in excess of 50 times. Meanwhile, the economic recovery has barely reached Middle America, with middle class salaries and wages continuing their decades-long stagnation. I am running to represent all of the people of the 14th District, not just Democrats, Republicans, Independents or others, but all the people. Governing requires compromise.
No Child Left Behind and the Common Core State Standards are education initiatives that have ��and will � dramatically impact students in this area. What specifically do you think those impacts should be? If not with Common Core, how do you propose improving U.S. education performance vs. foreign countries that are doing much better? How do you view the state of education in the U.S. and Illinois? And what if anything would you look to change?
Quality public education ought to be the right of all American children, and our public schools ought to be the very best schools available anywhere. When I was in grade school, the Nation committed itself to improve science and mathematics education in response to the challenges of the then-young space exploration race. We need to commit as a Nation to another such effort. The challenges now are even greater, given our international standings and the stakes in an increasingly competitive world. We need to be concerned about the cost of post-secondary education, given the mounting debts with which so many students are faced. We need to recognize that education is an investment in the future not only of our students, but also of the Nation itself. Teaching should be treated as the vital activity it is, and our teachers ought to well trained, well paid and respected for the work they do. Standards ought to be high, and the public ought to be concerned about the adoption of curricula that fail to adequately train their children. We must ensure that all students have access to the latest educational technology. It is a truism that ignorance will cost us far more than will education.
What role should the U.S. play in regards to the ongoing conflicts throughout the Mideast, including conflicts instigated by terror groups?
When deciding upon our policy course in the Mideast � or elsewhere � we must ask �What is the long-term outcome we hope for, and is that outcome likely to be achieved by our proposed policy?� The disintegration of Iraq following our withdrawal was predictable in February of 2003. We took apart two governments, both highly objectionable, apparently in the belief that we could replace them with a form of governance highly foreign to those nations. No one will benefit by doubling down on an ill-conceived policy and the sacrifice more mothers� sons and daughters to a military venture that is unlikely to bring about a stable and democratic Middle East unless we and/or our allies are committed to staying on, possibly for decades, to foster the growth of democracy. Our role should be to engage in meaningful dialogue with nations in the region, along with others in the international community, with the goal of stabilizing the region. We can also play a limited role in containing the terrorist groups that continue to threated regional stability.

OOPS. meant ANYONE. this is what happens when you try to multitask too much. Why can't we edit titles!? I have an old Abies concolor in my yard that is in the final stages of decline. It's a very, very unusual tree to see in the coastal plain of Maryland. The summers of 2010, 2011, and 2012, which had hot droughty spells alternating with periods of extremely heavy rainfall, really did a number of it. The canopy is almost completely bare now....It's about 35' high but probably has the same amt. of live foliage as a 6' healthy plant. If this spring is a harbinger of this summer - cool and very wet - it will not last much longer. Instead of just cutting the carcass down, I'm seriously considering letting a fast growing vine take it over. Yes, I know this will not last forever. No, it is not in a place where it could fall on anything that matters. (except other plants) I'm thinking: plant a Bignonia capreolata under it, give it about 3-4 years to overtake the tree entirely, give it another couple years to look wild and crazy, then finally cut it down if it doesn't fall first. Am I not thinking this through enough? I have old dead Prunus serotina trunks that have lasted 7-8 years now and are covered in ivy (just the lower 8 feet or so...I had my tree cutter leave them because an agricultural fence used to be nailed into the bottom of the trunk.). It's in a lawn setting so I won't have to worry about the vine spreading by runners, and as for seeds, the nearest bed is about 40 ft. away. Quite honestly, if I saw something like that in most any garden...I'd think "what are they thinking, that's trashy looking" but suddenly this seems like a good idea. I really need the shade it provides for some shrubs that are nearby. And it's kind of in the center of my yard and I feel like I'd rather have it transmogrified than absent. BTW have tried grafting one of the surviving branchlets onto Abies firma, just to preserve the clone for 'old time's sake'. Maybe I'm being optimistic but I think the buds on the scion are swelling after about a month, so maybe I finally have figured out how to graft. |

I know it can be done with some but I'm not quite sure if you can with all woody vines. I managed to do a good job on a shiro naga wisteria for a few years until it froze back hard. I just trimmed all the lower branches and pruned it back hard in the spring. usually to like 5 buds per main branch. |
my problem with cross vine is that they are in and out of bloom so quickly. campsis will establish more quickly and have a longer period of bloom. I'm sure that many here have noticed the sound barriers along the major roads when they are covered with blooming campsis, quite beautiful. |
Yes, but supposedly Bignonia is a little less weedy. Also thinking about one of the native wisterias, although the tradeoff there is they don't seem as showy as the Asian ones. |
- Posted by viburnumvalley z5/6 KY (My Page) on Sat, May 3, 14 at 23:00
Lonicera sempervirens clones - grow really fast, bloom repeatedly all season long, don't stray from their original position (except by layering). I like the idea. Leaving a (dead) tree is known ecologically as a snag. Cavity nesting birds will enjoy having the trunk to peck on and live in. Please provide imagery, regardless of what vine you choose. |

A friend recommended this forum highly, and when I couldn't figure out an answer to my question, I decided to post here. We have Marvin Wood Ultimate windows, and I need to lubricate the channel where the sash slides. I've been using a food-grade, silicone lubricant spray, but it breaks down pretty quickly, and I wanted one with more staying power. I found 3M Silicone Lubricant Plus, but I'm wondering about the petroleum additive in it (hence, the "Plus") damaging the vinyl. Does anyone know? If anyone has a specific product that they use, I would be interested in knowing what it is. |

A lithium based lubricant like Lubriplate or Amsoil is what is used in situations where it needs to be weatherproof, like garage doors. I'd call Marvin on Monday and ask them what they recommend, and see if that's OK with them. In addition, if your windows bind frequently, perhaps they are slightly racked, or not enough expansion gap was left in the rough opening. I'd get out a level and check the first situation. If the RO is too small, not a lot can be done at this point. |

I agree with Holly and vinyl jamb liners really should never need to be lubricated with a proper install as he mentions as well. |

Wellllll, be that as it may, these need to be lubricated. The Lubrisol that you mentioned is petroleum based, so a no-go. The search continues! |

Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered on the way this month
Quantic Dream's insane adventure game Fahrenheit is getting an HD remaster, according to a recent Amazon listing. That explains the teaser that popped up last week, which we originally thought was hinting at a new game in the series.

Will it come to console? Fargo says they're focusing "100% of energies on PC while in development," but it could for those pining over their PlayStation 2 gamer days.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt video teases "behind-the-scenes peek" at hands-on event, impressions next week
A new video from CD Projekt RED has some teasing glimpses of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at play. A global hands-on event is about to spill some meaty impressions of the open-world RPG next week.
The studio organised venues around the world for people to get their hands-on experience, and now it's almost time for the dam to burst. The Witcher 3 was delayed until May.
Besiege on Steam Greenlight, build your own siege weapons for conquest

Whether it's a castle or a peaceful hamlet packed with soldiers and cattle, we need to conquer! We'll have to devise our most cunning siege weaponry to bring them to their knees.
Second dev diary for Life is Strange examines "Butterfly Effect" of rewinding time
Upcoming episodic adventure Life is Strange from Dontnod Entertainment has just published its second developer diary with the team focusing on the rewinding time mechanic we'll be abusing a lot.

Starr Mazer combines shoot 'em up and point-'n'-click adventure, on Kickstarter now
Forget gene-splicing, it's genre-splicing that really matters in the future. Now we have the arrival of Starr Mazer on Kickstarter, seeking $160k to make this shoot 'em up and point-'n'-click adventure inter-genre marriage a reality.
Just to rile the blood of genres-shouldn't-mix conservatives a little more, there's a dash of RPG too - and they want some procedural generation as well. They plan a 'randomised episode' system.
Mojang "redoing the mechanics" of Minecraft's Ender Dragon on PC in 1.9
The End in Minecraft is going to be overhauled for PC, at least bringing it up to snuff with the Ender Dragon console gamers face off against, but they'll be "taking it a step further," teases Nathan Adams.
He wouldn't go into detail on these extra changes, and also allay fears that 1.9 was all about the flying beast. "...this isn't all I'm doing for 1.9... not by far," Adams continued.
CD Projekt RED "now focusing entirely" on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Cyberpunk 2077's "time will come"
With CD Projekt RED having pushed RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt further back into May earlier this month, the studio is "now focusing entirely" on it to ensure they have it in the best shape possible.
What about that other RPG Cyberpunk 2077? We're told "worry not" about the highly anticipated sci-fi romp, as its "time will come." There's no release schedule yet for it. Hopefully before 2077.

"Filmmakers are only a decade or so behind rock bands in the realization that they have to start developing a list or database for people who like their movies," says Scott Kirsner, a journalist who writes a blog called cinematech. "The good news is that once you've built this audience, they might help fund your next movie à la Indiegogo, they might just buy the DVD, they might come out to a theater, they might tell their friends and help you market it. I think it can be really powerful once you have this direct connection with the audience."
The minds behind MySpace seem to agree. In June, the nation's most popular social network announced a project to empower its users to collaborate on a film adaptation of Paulo Coelho's acclaimed novel "The Witch of Portobello." (Clearly, it's not aimed at fans of auteur filmmaking.) The project follows an audacious $2 million film called "Faintheart," funded by the British arm of MySpace. The country's MySpace users voted for the best story pitch by an unknown director, offered casting suggestions based on audition videos, suggested seven songs for the soundtrack, and weighed in on the script – even providing lines of dialogue. Mercifully, the thousands of participants stopped short of demanding screen credits on "Faintheart," a comedy about battle reenactors, which gets a wide British theatrical release next month.
The new wave of filmmaker social-network sites have neither MySpace's financial clout nor site traffic, though they hope to capitalize on similar fan enthusiasm. Indiegogo, Indie Shares, and Indie Maverick each offer variations on a basic formula: Filmmakers are invited to pitch a film; the online community votes for the ideas they like best; individual members are then invited to invest in the films, even if it's just $10.

Gear Review: Patagonia Freightliner
Before I thrill you with my review the Patagonia Freightliner (pictured at right), a quick note about bias. You're going to notice that most of these reviews veer towards the positive. This is not because I am taking kickbacks, or because I am generally a very enthusiastic person, or because I fear that by criticizing others, I am opening the door to criticism of myself. The reason is that I put a serious amount of research--days worth, all told--into determining which items would function best on the road. I'm pleased to report that just about everything performed well above expectations, which is either an endorsement of my research skill, or, more likely, a testament to the constantly improving quality of stuff.
Choosing luggage wasn't easy. The major question was: backpack or rolly bag? Then I discovered that there exists luggage that is both. Eagle Creek makes the Switchback, a rolly bag with back-pack straps that tuck away into a zipped compartment. Similarly, the North Face just came out with rolly bag/backpack called the Doubletrack. This, I thought, was the answer to my dreams.
The Doubletrack turned out to be many things--spacious, bombproof, well designed, and handsome--but it was not the answer to my dreams. Its first drawback was that the attachable backpack wasn't big enough for all the technological crap--laptop, camera, Sony Reader, GPS, iPod, etc.--I wanted to carry in my backpack. A far graver flaw, however, was its mass. The Doubletrack weighs 12 pounds. Empty. I filled the Doubletrack with clothing, folded out the back-pack straps and heaved it onto my shoulders. The thing felt just awful. It was unbalanced, poorly contoured and awkward. A back-pack/rolly bag hybrid, I realized, is a fine idea, but not very practical.
That was the journey that brought me to Patagonia's Freightliner. I had no experience with this bag. No one I know has ever owned a Freightliner, and I had never seen one in person. But Patagonia is in the habit of making truly fine stuff. I have Patagonia fleeces and bathing suits from high school that are still perfectly wearable. As expected, the Freightliner turned out to be everything I hoped it would be: light and uncomplicated. For such a small bag, it holds a ton of stuff. Yes, it only has two main compartments. But the top hatch is so larch that it's easy enough to find whatever you need by opening it wide and digging your hands in.
Most importantly, the thing takes a licking. It was dropped off carts, buried under luggage heaps and jerked down countless flights of stairs. The bag seems so resilient to injury that I find myself almost overcome with a desire to try and destroy it.
But the Freightliner is not perfect. If you really stuff the crap out if--which I did in France by adding four bottles of Burgundy to an already capacity loadthen the bottom bulges out, and if you try and stand it upright, it will tip over. They also should have put some kind of re-enforcement on the bottom because by the end of my trip, the nylon had abraded. But that may be a good thing thanks to Patagonia's "iron clad" guarantee. "If you are not satisfied with one of our products at the time you receive it, or if one of our products does not perform to your satisfaction, return it to the store you bought it from or to Patagonia for a repair, replacement or refund." It all sounds too good to be true until you get to the part that says, "Damage due to wear and tear will be repaired at a reasonable charge." The bag is just over three months old, yet it's traveled more in that time than most bags do in a lifetime. I suppose as long as the charge is reasonable, I'll be happy to pay it.
The secret compartment...perfect for cramming your expensive Italian sports jacket
Finally, the Freighliner has one hidden attribute: the secret compartment. This is a flat, thin section at the very bottom where I stored the Borrelli sports jacket. Yes, the jacket got horribly wrinkled. I pulled it out in Ravello, Italy--not a hundred miles south of where the jacket was sewn, incidentally--and came out looking like crumpled tinfoil. (Beautifully tailored crumpled tinfoil, mind you.) But eventually, by experimenting with folding methods, I was able to store the jacket in a manner that would leave it quite wearable.
The point is this: you could put a suit in there. That means instead of taking one of those black, fold-in-half cheesy suit bags on your next business trip, you can take a Freightliner instead. Your journey may find you bored and condemned to some climate-controlled convention complex, but in your bag will exist the possibility of genuine adventure. You can't say that about most luggage.

Midwest Wizard of Oz Fest's road leads to ... Tinley Park?
By Nick Swedberg Correspondent August 5, 2014 5:04PM
A sign greets visitors to the 2010 Chesterton (Ind.) Wizard of Oz Festival. Orland Park will host a reincarnation of the festival this year. | Supplied photo by Carla Sellers
Article Extras
Updated: September 7, 2014 6:36AM
There's no place like home, wherever that might be.
The organizer behind the Midwest Wizard of Oz Fest announced Tuesday that the event is likely moving to Tinley Park when it returns next month. But hurdles remain before the village will grant final approval.
Tinley Park officials gave a "verbal go-ahead" to the September event after discussions took place over the past two months about a potential move to the village, event organizer David De John said.
De John, who is seeking to resurrect the popular festival that shut down two years ago, said he pulled out of Orland Park over logistical concerns about the site.
"The festival is taking place," De John said. "It is in Tinley Park."
Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki said De John still needs to answer questions about security and liability, as well as show that he's lined up enough sponsors and vendors.
"He's well along the way to doing it and we look forward to having him," Zabrocki said.
While a village board vote won't be necessary, the final nod from village officials won't be granted for the Wizard of Oz festival until the issues are solved.
Tinley Park Trustee Greg Hannon said that although the village has tentatively agreed to act as host, the offer's only good if organizers can get details settled quickly, noting the festival is about six weeks away.
"If he (De John) can get all his ducks in a line," then Tinley Park will allow the festival, Hannon said.
"He's got a lot of things already done," Hannon said, including lining up sponsors based on the village's tentative OK.
The festival would use park district property and a small section of state-owned land next to the former Mental Health Center, Hannon said. Vendors would line up along Veterans Parkway south of the Metra station, and the train station lot would be used for festival parking, he said.
The Midwest Oz Fest was originally based in Chesteron, Indiana, and ran for 35 years before closing. DeJohn announced in May his plan to bring the festival back and move it to Orland Park.
A message posted to the festival's website Thursday said they were moving from Orland Park to an undecided location, but referenced conversations with Tinley Park officials.
"I want to thank everyone at the Tinley Park Illinois Village Hall, the Park District, the Police Department, the Public Works Dept. and everyone from the Mayor (who took time out of his schedule to talk to me in person on a Sunday afternoon), to the Chamber of Commerce, to the individual residents who are stepping up and showing their support for the festival. I would also like to personally thank all of the Wizard of Oz fans who have been patiently waiting for the announcement."
De John said he decided to move from Orland Park after he became concerned about potential damage to fields at Centennial Park from the volume of people he expects to attend the event.
An announcement sent by festival organizers on Tuesday proclaimed that Tinley Park was the new home. A specific location wasn't mentioned.
De John said he discussed several possible locations with village staff before setting on an area near the 80th Avenue Metra station.
Since receiving the unofficial go-ahead, De John already has received interest from about 40 people who want to volunteer at the festival.
"Within just a couple of days, it's amazing to see people in the community just stepping up," De John said.

Forming a supergroup to end all supergroups, Thom Yorke and producer Nigel Goodrich (Radiohead), Flea (Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Joey Waronker, and Mauro Refosco teamed up to form experimental rock and electronica powerhouse Atoms for Peace. AFP formed in 2009 and is planning to have an actual album released in 2012. The band is named after the famous Dwight D. Eisenhower speech and a track from Yorke's solo album, Eraser.
Fitting Yorke's experimental modus operandi, the band hasn't released any actual tracks but rather remixes of still unreleased tracks. This has kept the Atoms of Peace's sound a mystery. The track is entitled "Other Side – Stuck Together Remix." It is part of 12" single EP called 40WEAPONSXTR01 that can be picked up at Monkeytown Records.
Since this isn't a Third Man Records release, it's safe to say this isn't part of the Radiohead/Jack White mystery project. I'm not quite sure what to think of this track myself but I can bob my head to it and I'm sure Yorn of already thought of some freaky way to shimmy to it. I think the lyric being repeated over and over again is "You get away so easily." But what do you think it is? Please discuss below in the comments section below. You can check out the track at Consequence of Sound.
