Internet of Things Becomes Mainstream, What Happens Now? | Part 2
How do you know when a technology has become mainstream? A good clue may be when politicians start talking about it on the campaign trail and with mainstream media. David Cameron, the UK prime minister, was the latest, indicating that the world was now on "fast-forward" with the Internet of Things (IoT) ushering in the new industrial revolution. No mention of IoT targeted at the masses would be complete without the clichéd example of the communicating fridge. While it is easy to get caught up in the hype and over-simplify, the complexity associated with making IoT mainstream will be unlike anything we have seen before it.
In the last Internet of things (IoT) blog, I suggested that in the emerging IoT world, humans will set policies and rules that define desired outcomes, while the execution of minute-by-minute decisions driven by those policies will increasingly be handled by automated agents. In turn those agents, as they evolve in sophistication and functionality, will drive new business models, new ways of generating revenue, and new strategies for pricing and charging.
Today, enterprises are discovering that one-trick billing is not suitable for a complex services world. We all know that a billing system needs to flexibly support, for example, recurring and non-recurring charges, volume discounts, short and long-term commitments, settlements, and (for enterprise billing) bill tracking and assignment across multiple departments and product lines.
Yet here we are today in a world increasingly being made more complicated by a proliferation of online services, by IoT and by a maze of evolving business relationships, and what do we find? Service providers are still being sold one-trick billing systems.
Perhaps there is some deep-rooted psychological need for some people to deny complexity. Over-simplifying, like politicians with their fridges, may be part of the popular culture, but in business, as in engineering, science and medicine, it is important to face up to complexity, understand what is really going on, and build our plans accordingly.
When Internet services emerged, some people predicted that everything was going to be paid for by advertising: a really simple business model. Then the online shopping cart came along and, without diminishing the importance of advertising much, vendors were able to trade online and offer services and products for money in a subscription form: another simple business model supported by one-trick billing systems. While subscription services have always been with us, the Internet enabled providers to offer many new services using the subscription model: software, music, movies, news.
And now we have IoT, and - even better - IoT with smart agents. We will see, naturally enough, that Internet merchant platform players insist that IoT devices and systems can be sold in shopping carts. Subscription billing system vendors will tell us IoT services are perfect for vanilla subscription billing. While others will come along with billing systems that are IoT-specific and assume some kind of a business model that is absolutely the best for IoT.
Yet in this increasingly complex environment, one-trick billing starts to look like a shaky idea. If you only have a merchant platform you can't handle subscriptions. If your billing system only supports subscriptions, forget selling service-related products through your own portal. If your billing system is designed just for IoT-style services, you could find yourself shut out from expanding into other lines of business. You will either have to constrain your business model, buy or license additional systems, or go to third parties for help.
For a new-start company, a one-trick billing system could appear to be a great way of getting into business, especially if it's available as a service with no long-term commitments. But as a company matures and expands its portfolio of services and products, it also expands its perspective on the marketplace. They experiment with more varied and more nuanced business models. They want to try interesting new approaches to pricing and billing to attract and retain customers. At this point, businesses find that they've outgrown their start-up one-trick billing systems. They find, as so many companies have discovered before them, that they cannot form their pricing and billing strategies around the needs and preferences of the market. Instead they must constrain their strategies to conform to the limitations and ways of working defined in their billing system. If you want to evolve your pricing and billing approach, you will have to buy a new system, either to replace or supplement the old system.
An earlier generation has seen this before; it's not a distinctive feature of the Internet. One traditional phone company, a giant, started with one billing system, as everyone does. They grew and refined their approach to the market and added new services. Their original billing system was a one-trick system, so they bought or built some new systems: systems specific to a particular product set; systems specific to a particular pricing strategy; systems to link all the other systems together... After a surprisingly short time, they found they had over a hundred distinct systems in their billing environment, strung together after a fashion, but with fragmented and highly duplicated data. Expensive and dysfunctional. Getting out of that kind of trap is not easy. The company sought help from another corporate giant and bought one more billing system, the system to end all other systems. Five years later they still had over one hundred plus one systems.
If they'd had a billing system able to support the agile needs of the business, they could have spent more time developing and selling services and less time band-aiding their systems environment. I have pointed out in several previous blogs that MetraNet users have a distinct advantage: the system can handle any business model, or any combination of business models, including business models that haven't been invented yet. By contrast, when you buy a one-trick billing system, you are also buying into the one-trick business model supported by that system.

No complaints with either deal though and I found Tiger Recycle to be reliable - I'd use them again.

Tagging Problem?
Hey guys, replaying SR2 (after being massively disappointed with SR3) and all I have left for 100% is the tags... but I can't get them to complete. I can spray the first "spurt" out of the can, but when I go to shake the can, he shakes it once and stops, and no matter how much I mess with RS I can't get him to keep shaking it.
I also can't continue to spray, so it's not like he's shaking it super quick or anything. Anyone else have this problem and/or know how to fix it? I'd hate to lose 95% completion...
XBL: SamuraiFrosty
And the words of the prophets were written on the subway walls...
It's possible to do the tags in one shot without having to shake the can. You just gotta hit the trigger once to make a circle and keep making circles until you fill up the tag. So in other words don't hold down the trigger while tagging so you don't waste paint. I hope that's clear enough.
There is a little stupid in all of us.
{Reserved for hidden messages}
Clear enough, but sounds pretty tedious. I wish I didn't want 100% :-|
XBL: SamuraiFrosty
And the words of the prophets were written on the subway walls...
Do you use a wired controller? I normally use a wired controller and it won't let me shake the can, but when I use my wireless controller I can shake it just fine.
"It felt like the music was aimed right at me... like a missile!"
I use a wired controller and the shaking just seems glitchy. When the character stops shaking, stop shaking the stick yourself and then start over. Sometimes it takes me 3 or so tries to get the can working again.

Columbia Theatre Control to Pass from City to Nonprofit
Paducah city officials are passing control of the historic downtown Columbia Theatre to a nonprofit group for renovation.
The Paducah City Commission introduced an ordinance at its Tuesday night meeting to transfer the theater to Columbia Club Inc., which had been the sole bidder with a ceremonial offer of $1. City Manager Jeff Pederson said that ordinance will be voted on and almost certainly pass at the commission's April 8 meeting.
Columbia Club vice chair Landee Bryant-Greene said the deal hinges on the Columbia Club receiving a $50,000 Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection Brownfield grant for asbestos and lead paint clean-up.
"The grant is due, I believe it's at the end of this month," Bryant-Greene said. "And then, the turnaround for this grant, because it's a state grant and not federal, is really quick. It would be as early as this summer if we were awarded the money."
If approved, the city of Paducah is required to provide $10,000 to match the grant. If the state doesn't approve the grant, control of the Columbia will pass back to the city.
Bryant-Greene said the Columbia Club task force has an opening date of 2017 in mind for the Columbia, which will house three movie screens and host special events and concerts. If the Columbia does reopen for business in 2017, it would be the 90th anniversary of its construction in 1927.

Seafood guide says five of top 11 species 'unsustainably managed'
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Mon 14 July 2014
Five of the 11 most commonly eaten species of fish in Australia, including shark and snapper, are unsustainably managed and should be avoided by consumers, a new analysis has found.
A study of Australia's 11 most popular types of seafood identifies imported prawns, squid and octopus, blue grenadier, shark (sold as flake) and snapper as seafood the public should avoid.
The Australian Marine Conservation Society's sustainable seafood guide, which has been periodically updated since 2006, lists Atlantic salmon as the most popular fish among Australian diners, followed by imported prawns and then Australian prawns.
Three of the top five most popular fish are marked red in the AMCS traffic light system, meaning the organisation strongly recommends avoiding them.
The sustainability guide rates fish by a number of criteria, including how abundant they are, the impact of fishing equipment on the marine environment, management of fisheries and whether catching the species involves the inadvertent deaths of creatures such as dolphins and turtles.
The marine campaigns officer at AMCS, Tooni Mahto, told Guardian Australia there was a key trend towards farmed fish rather than those caught wild.
"More and more of the seafood on our shelves comes from farming operations," she said. "Atlantic salmon, barramundi and prawns are all very popular farmed species.
"Overall, there have been significant improvements in farming and the industry is improving its transparency due to the fact more people care about where their seafood comes from. So we'd applaud them on that.
"But there is still a lot of work to do. It still takes 2.5kg of wild-caught fish, to be used as fish food, to create 1kg of farmed fish. It's also hard to tell what the long-term impact of fish farming is on the marine environment."
Mahto said at-risk species needed to be identified to help industry and consumers make better choices. "We hear a lot from the Australian government that all our fisheries are sustainable but it's not fair to say that," she said. "We've got really significant issues in fisheries, especially with bycatch.
She said Australians loved shark, "but globally 25% of shark and ray species are threatened by extinction so our consumption of shark meat is propping up this decline".
"As an apex predator, sharks are crucial to the health of our oceans and we are still killing a lot of them with zero understanding of the impact that will have.
"Snapper is a victim on its own popularity on Australian tables, unfortunately. It needs strong management but because it's so popular it has been hard to do that."
Mahto said species imported from southeast Asia also posed ethical concerns, with prawn farming linked to pollution and destructive trawl fishing of squid and octopus blamed for damage to coral reefs.
Fish given the green light by ACMS include farmed barramundi, yellow fin bream, Spanish mackerel, Australian-farmed prawns and King George whiting.
"Australians need to look at their choice of seafood now, if we are to provide the next generation with the fantastic choice of fish we currently have," Mahto said.News Source : Seafood guide says five of top 11 species 'unsustainably managed'

Although a family can come in many different shapes and sizes, there is a universal meaning to the word and what it symbolizes. Whether your family is your spouse and children, your grandkids, your closest friend or maybe your pets, family is what is most important to all of us. Family is where you go for unconditional love, for strength and for security. It's where you share good times and get through the challenges that life can bring. You can always count on your family to be there for you. That is why a home is so important. Like our family, it provides us with a comfortable, secure place where we can be ourselves. A place where we can build fond memories while we enjoy the present and plan for the future.
At Family Development, we take this meaning very seriously. Having been involved in the design and development of nearly 1,000 homes over the past decade, every member of our team looks at each home as if it was being built for their own family. Care and attention is given to each and every facet of the building cycle to ensure that the final product will bring years of satisfaction to its owner.

Hi: 10° Lo:7°
Monday 19 November 2012 Updated: 22/11 11:52
WHITEFRIARS is to press ahead with its plan to build a £6m homeless centre in Hilfields.
The housing association today (Monday) ruled out an alternative site to the one it had identified in Adelaide Street last month.
The unidentified land was put forward by ward councillors Jim O'Boyle and Naeem Akhtar, and MP Jim Cunningham at a meeting with bosses two weeks ago.
Kevin Willetts, executive director development at WM Housing Group, which Whitefriars is part of, said: "We met recently and they agreed that a new homeless facility is needed in Coventry and proposed an alternative nearby Hillfields site.
"We looked into the proposed location, but unfortunately the site was far too large and the owners were not willing to parcel of a section of the land ahead of wider disposal.
"We met with councillor O'Boyle, councillor Akhtar and Mr Cunningham again today to inform them of our findings and our decision.
"This process has helped to confirm to us that, after months of research, this location is the best available place for our planned homeless facility.
A planning application for Adelaide Street will now be submitted to the city council.
Mr Willetts added: "We recognise there are some concerns about this project, as well as local support, and we intend to continue our consultation process with people and organisations within the neighbourhood to ensure that our plans are as robust as possible."

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals sign wide receiver Mike Thomas
After Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and Andre Roberts, no wide receiver is guaranteed to make the Arizona Cardinals' 53-man roster coming out of training camp.
While the battle for the No. 4 spot behind the aforementioned trio has picked up in recent weeks given the impressive play of Charles Hawkins, Jaron Brown and Kerry Taylor, the race is pretty wide open with games against the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos still left on the exhibition schedule.
That race just got a bit more crowded, as the Cardinals have signed veteran wideout Mike Thomas.
In 2012, Thomas caught a combined 18 passes for 108 yards and a touchdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions.
A fourth-round pick out of Arizona in 2009, Thomas was released by the Lions Monday.

soil retaining too much moisture! help!
The soil mix I used before (pine bark mulch, spaghnum peat, lime, some Osmocote, and coarse vermiculite) leafy green stuff loved.
Root veggies hated it because it was too compact and coarse; bulbs never formed and/or root portion was thin and spindly.
Fruiting veggies (squash, melons, esp tomatoes and peppers) didn't do well in it because it dried out too fast, so soil wasn't moist consistently.
I found some new soil mixes. The texture was perfect...light, fluffy, and loose. Unfortunately it's too wet. Some of the 'recipes' retained so much moisture it became muddy, so I quit using them. The other recipes didn't retain so much moisture they become muddy, but it's difficult not to plant tiny seeds (cabbage, broccoli) too deep because it's loose.
I know drainage isn't the problem because I have holes drilled in the bottoms of my containers.
Does anybody have a soil mix that is light and fluffy? I'm also looking for a soil mix that doesn't dry out at the drop of a hat, which is the problem with my first soil mix, but doesn't retain too much moisture, which is the problem I'm having now.
Most of the recipes call for compost as an ingredient; I use packaged compost. Could this be creating the problem of it being too wet?
What was the proportions in your previous mix? All you need to know is in the thread below. I have yet to find something that does not grow in 5:1:1 well, and I primarily grow vegetables. It can also be adjusted to your needs.
The proportions for the ingredients of the previous soil mix I was using (which is the one listed below) are as follows...
2-3 cu ft pine bark fines
5 gallons peat
5 gallons perlite
2 cups dolomitic (garden) lime (or gypsum in some cases)
2 cups CRF (if preferred)
Regarding the size of the containers they're plastic storage containers. For stuff like tomatoes, squash etc. 30 gallon containers.
For squash (winter) and melons I use 45 and 49 gallon containers.
Yes I've tried growing root veggies in the mix listed above.
I was doing 3 pepper plants for an 18 gallon container but I'm guessing that's too small of a container and overcrowding them.
I thought a 30 gallon container for 3 tomato plants (yes they're determinate/bush types w/short vines) would be enough space, but unfortunately that overcrowded them, caused them to fight for nutrients, etc.
For winter squash and melons I use 45 and 49 gallon containers, one plant per container and yes they're bush types/have short vines, compact (compared to traditional varieties).
I've tried growing root veggies in the mix listed above, but as I said, it's too compact and too heavy, and the veggies don't form their bulbs. With stuff like carrots, the root portion is thin and spindly.
I thank you for the advice given and taking time to post on my thread. However I'm looking for a loose and fluffy soil mix for root veggies.
Instead of it drying out too fast and being too compact, I'm having the exact opposite problem with the new soil mixes; their consistency is perfect, but they're still retaining too much moisture.
The new soil recipes don't retain so much moisture they're muddy, but they are much more 'moist' when they're wetted
compared to my old soil mix.
The new soil mixes have miracle grow (or topsoil) as the base mixed with compost, vermiculite/perlite, and spaghnum peat. I thought adding sand would fix the moisture problem, but I tried a recipe that used both sand and the ingredients listed above, and it didn't make any difference.
Hmmmm, your experience doesn't match with mine....
First, we should probably define our terms - what you're calling light and fluffy,
I'd probably call fine-particled and soft. Indeed, the second mix you describe would
be called "heavy" by many growers in that it becomes saturated and compact when at capacity.
The bark-based mix that you mentioned is traditionally light or loose, in that the particulate
retains its structure and macro-pores.
I've only grown potatoes, garlic, beets, radish, and carrots in the bark-based mix,
so I can't speak for all root-crops....however, I didn't notice the small-growth or deformation
that you mention. Maybe something else was at play in your containers.
Ok so you were using 5:1:1. A couple of things. Was your bark component very coarse, uncomposted or full of sapwood? Any issues I have seen with 5:1:1 are usually due to nitrogen problems due to composting bark and sapwood. A high nitrogen CRF in the mix resolves this.
Your container sizes seem sufficient. If you find that 5:1:1 needs to be watered too often for your liking you can increase the peat component of 5:1:1 such as 5:2:1 and that will reduce your watering frequency. I also agree with greenman on your soil descriptions. 5:1:1 could be described as coarse, but not compact or heavy.
Below is a link for the type of pine bark fines/mulch I use; you'll have to manually copy and paste it into your web browser as it won't display it as a hyperlink.
The 'mulch/fines' are kind of large. Basically when the soil mix is mixed together (finished product that is) it looks like mulch. Is this an indicator the piece of mulch are too large? If they need to be smaller should I shred them?
Is the finished pine bark mulch mix supposed to look like a soiless mix (ie. similar in appearance to something like Miracle grow)
The fertilizer I use in my soil less mix is Oscomote, and it's suitable for container gardening. It's just a dry pelleted fertilizer. The N-P-K is 19% Nitrogen (10% ammonical nitrogen, 9% nitrate nitrogen); 6% available phosphate, and 12% soluble potash.
I realize how high of an amount of nitrogen it has. Unfortunately the other balanced fertilizers are....
*Granular; you mix them with water and you use the liquid fertilizer at the surface of the soil
*Bloom boosters (i.e. they're designed for flowers and NOT suitable for providing fertilization/nutrients etc. for herbs/veggies, and herbs and veggies are what I grow)
*Not suitable for use in container gardening. That is they're basically for used for spreading and mixing into the ground in a lg. area of land (like a plot for example)
I can't just mix any of the fertilizers I described that have Balanced N-P-K ratio into my soil mix when I make it up, which is basically what the instructions of making it
say to do. You just mix up all your ingredients for the soil, dump the Osmocote in, and then stir it all together till it's well combined.
Can anybody here suggest a dry fertilizer (pelleted NOT granular) that can be mixed into the soil mix and has a balanced N-P-K ratio? That is it's not applied at the surface of the soil, but rather you mix it in when the soil mix is made up
did you have chance to read over some of the posting by Al (tapla) about soils - the reason I am asking is that besides very good explanation 'why & how' there are also photos showing sizes of the bark/other ingredients.
You can have a look at this one, and will find more if interested:
KAWAII, I really hoep you get this message. Please email me if you need more help.
You CANNOT use the mulch right out of the bag. You have to SCREEN the mulch. The pieces have to be approximately 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch big. The pieces you have are TOO BIG.
That's why it was too "compact and coarse." When screened, it's almost the texture of commercial soil. Let me know if you need help!
kawaiineko_gardener, it is difficult to evaluate a soil or mix that one hasn't seen or touched (or tasted). And without knowing the medium, it is impossible to evaluate your practices et al.
Have you used a commercial mix that we are familiar with? Which one? How did that perform for you?
Well just to clarify the pine bark soil mix I use (that is coarse and looks like mulch when it's made and in the containers) not everything hates it.
Since my mulch is too lg of pieces for the stuff that doesn't like it (listed below) can I just shred it or does it have to be screened?
If so, how do you screen the mulch? I've never done this before, so I don't know how to.
Below is a list of the stuff that does well in it and also a list that will follow will be a list of stuff that hates it:
Stuff that loves the soil mix that uses the pine bark mulch mix with the pine bark mulch being used straight out of the bag....(coarse version of the soil mix....without the mulch being screened)
Pak Choi
Cabbage (normal green)
Lemon balm
beans (green; I'm going to assume that yellow and purple beans would do well too, though I've never grown them)
All of the stuff listed above that grows well in it, the plants were huge when I harvested the veggies.
Below is a list of veggies that doesn't grow well in it at all...
Eggplant (Globe/Asian) (soil dries out too fast, doesn't st
stay consistently moist; same problems w/toms and peppers)
Tomatoes (slicers/romas/cherry/grape)
Peppers (sweet)
melons (any kind)
summer squash and winter squash; basically same problems as I have with toms/peppers etc.)
any root veggie (too coarse, too compact)
A list of stuff that I don't know how well it does in the coarse soil mix (as I've never grown the stuff in it before)
Broccoli raab
Mustard greens (both asian and normal varieties)
I'm going to assume the leafy green stuff would do well, since other leafy green stuff loves the coarse soil mix.
I did have one question about why the root veggies aren't forming bulbs/roots.
I know part of the problem is it's too coarse; every site I've done research on with root veggies say they prefer a loose and light soil mix. However I was also told that another reason root veggies fail to bulb/form root portions is because the soil is too acidic.
Does this soil mix contain too much acidity for root veggies?
I also know root veggies don't like a soil mix too high in nitrogen. Is the osmocote I use, does it have too high of a nitrogen content? If so, can somebody recommend a balanced granular fertilizer suitable for container gardening that can be mixed directly into the soil mix when I make it up?
I've tried using dry fertilizers that weren't meant to be used for container gardening, and they didn't work well at all; the veggies couldn't absorb the nutrients etc.
Kawaii, the lime in the mix counteracts the acidity of the pine bark. If you need something to be more acidic or alkaline, adjust the lime.
You need to screen the mulch using chicken wire with 1/2 inch holes. I made a screen really easily and cheaply with some plywood and chicken wire, but you can even by screens on line.
Once the bark is screened, the finished mix literally looks like store-bought potting soil, but with more aeration. It's good for nearly all one-season container vegetables and houseplants.
IMPORTANT 1: when measuring the ratios, you need to screen the bark first, then do 5 parts bark, etc.
IMPORTANT 2: the mix needs to get WET before you plant.
The nitrogen in osmocote is not too high, because it's slow-release.

Does MXML get compiled down to as3 and then converted to flash bytecode? Also, is there a significant performance penalty to compiling mxml vs compiling as3?
Yes it boils down to AS3, most, possibly all MXML components are just a tag version of an AS3 class.
There is no raw difference in compile times, however, because MXML requires the Flex framework, MXML projects do take longer to compile.
So... in a way, MXML is slower, but not dramatically so.
This is a bit of a correction of Jasconius.
All MXML functions as a form of pre-compiler directive to generate a Class. mxmlc.exe will convert it to a series of temporary .as files before running the final compiler. Actually, you can see how the compiler does this by using the instruction keep-generated-actionscript.
Because this is a two-step process, this will mean that it will always take longer to compile something written with MXML. But, even on slower machines and large projects, that will not cause significant difficulties -- the real problem comes in converting everything into bytecode. But, this is not without benefit.
The major bonus of the MXML syntax is that it is easier to read, it is easier to conceptualize, and it is easier to debug. It also makes it much simpler to separate form and content. Any time you might loose in the compilation process, you will gain back ten-fold while programming.
A simple hello world application in flex will be more than 100k in flex compared to a couple of kbs in a pure AS3 project. This is because flex compiles a lot of dependencies into your swf. So yeah, there is a penalty in terms of bandwidth required.
Compile a simple flex app after adding

World's End was once an island, but is now a gorgeous property
maintained by the Trustees of Reservations. Landscaped by Frederick
Law Olmstead, it consists of approximately 250 acres of paths,
meadows, woodlands, and seascapes. It juts out into Boston Harbor, and
the Boston skyline is visible from many places. This was my second
visit here, and I could not have asked for a better day.
View this in larger sizes if possible.
Portokalis, destinationplymouthcounty, and 2 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Wow! Great shot!! I must make it my mission to go there next time I am in Boston! Excellent photo!!!
It has been on my list of places I really want to visit. There was a Kelby walk there this year and I was intrigued but never made it. Once lived just south of there. Intend to go back. Distortion is not bad given the wide angle. Looks beautiful.
This isn't a wide-angle shot; it's a panorama made from 8 separate images.
I was just looking into visiting this place erlier today! Enjoy getting to see the photos.
I love this place too-what a fabulous photo ! An infinite sky over that blue water--what a delight
This is great Liz. Love it!

Plane with 18 people missing in Nepal's mountains
Contact was lost with the plane a few minutes after it made an unscheduled fuel stop in the city of Pokhara on its flight from the capital, Katmandu, to the town of Jumla, said Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal official Ram Hari Sharma.
Another aviation official, Dharmendra Pandey, said villagers in Argakhachi district reported that the plane had crashed in a remote mountainous area. He said police were trying to reach the area.
The de Havilland Canada-manufactured Twin Otter plane had 15 passengers and three crew members on board. One of the passengers was believed to be a Danish national, while the rest on board, including a child, were Nepalese, Sharma said.
It was snowing this weekend in parts of the mountainous region, and visibility was low due to fog.
A rescue helicopter was trying to reach the area where contact with the plane was lost, but the weather conditions were making it difficult.
The plane was scheduled to fly directly from Katmandu to Jumla, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) to the west, but stopped to refuel at Pokhara's airport about a third of the way into the journey.
In May, another plane of the same make and model operated by state-owned Nepal Airlines crashed while attempting to land at a mountain airstrip in northern Nepal, injuring all 21 people on board.

Gear Guide 2014: Basecamp
Whether your digs are a sleeping bag under the stars or a shiny new Sprinter, here are 31 of the best new things to improve any climbing trip.
Whether your digs are a sleeping bag under the stars or a shiny new Sprinter, here are 31 of the best new things to improve any climbing trip.
Innovative, smart, lust-worthy, and just plain cool: 10 new must-have products that topped our testers' lists.
"The chimneys and offwidths of the Utah desert are some of the toughest proving grounds for apparel, and if anything functions well and emerges unscathed, it's a winner in my book," said one tester after rocking the Backdraft for several pitches of wide (and wider) cracks.
Every season, the latest gear promises more breathability or warmth or weather protection. But which pieces work so well you can forget they're there? And which should just be forgotten? From crystal-clear days on cracks at Lumpy Ridge to hail and heart-stopping thunder in the Black Canyon, we reviewed more than 100 articles of clothing to bring you the best of the bunch.
"Although I was skeptical at first, this piece has revamped my layering system," said a tester who took it ice climbing for 14 consecutive days in Utah. It was so windproof and breathable, one tester wondered, "How do they do it?" Eight-hundred-fill down on the front and back torso insulated key body parts, and FlashDry Pertex Quantum GL nylon on the sleeves and sides blocked the wind while wicking and drying sweat.
"Forget every other down puffy you've ever worn—this will beat them all," one tester declared. The 750-fill down kept us warm in single-digit temps throughout the West. "Belay puffy, around town, skiing… I wore this every day this winter," another tester said. The superior warmth and airy feel of this 23-oz. jacket (men's M) was the foundation of our testers' obsessions, but it was the climber-centric features that sealed the deal.
"That was fun!" said one tester after designing his own jacket from colors to materials to fill. "And the jacket has proven to be a bombproof performer, too." Wild Things lets you select from a range of features and fabrics at a competitive price, with a 14-day delivery turnaround.
A simple polyester shell with elastic cuffs and a drawstring hem houses a brushed interior of 200g Polartec fleece. Sounds uncomplicated until you look at the inside of this jacket: The fleece—lining the chest and back—is pocked with dozens of dime- to quarter-sized holes that trap heat when you need it and ventilate when you don't.
"This hooded, midweight jacket quickly became my go-to piece for chilly days at the crag and while navigating alpine terrain," says one contributing editor. "It's the climber-oriented fit that won me over: The torso is trim while the waist and arms are long, so the Pegasus stayed tucked under a harness and always covered my wrists when reaching overhead."
Labeled as a "do-everything hoody for the do-everything athlete," this full-zip midlayer really does all mountain sports well. Our testers took it (and the women's version, the Avail Hoody) from boulderfields in northern California to the long multi-pitches of Red Rock to ski slopes in Colorado.
Patagonia's own version of water-resistant down ups the ante by boosting loft to an astonishing 1,000-fill. They zap 800-fill down with radio waves until its molecular structure changes, allowing the plumes to accept a silicone DWR treatment without the use of chemical binders.
It's funny how much waiting happens at the crag: Belaying, spotting, gawking, sharing beta—these don't require a ton of energy. What's not funny is how far your core temperature can drop on cold days during inactivity. Solution? The Sierra Designs DriDown Gnar Lite jacket ($229; sierradesigns.com). While at first glance it looks like any other 800-fill down jacket (and indeed its weight and warmth are comparable to most in that category), it's the invisible treatment to the down itself that makes the difference.
Bailing off the sixth pitch of Petit Grepon (5.8) in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, in the face of a rain and hail storm, our tester put this "emergency storm jacket for an alpine environment" to the test. The Arc'teryx Alpha SL Jacket ($319; arcteryx.com) was a godsend for the two-hour downpour while the tester and her partner rapped down almost 800 feet.
I've always wanted that one warm jacket that I can grab for approaches and belays in times of near-freezing temps and blustery winds. That one jacket that I can throw over a tank top when I'm running to the gym, and trust to keep me completely warm. Downs weren't cutting it for such uses (especially with that skin-to-nylon fabric contact—eek!), and regular fleeces weren't windproof or warm enough. The North Face Polar Hooded Jacket ($299; thenorthface.com) came to my rescue at the end of last winter.
The new Arc'teryx Gamma MX jacket for climbers is a definite upgrade, with its proprietary Fortius 2.0 fabric, which is blessed with enhanced durability and water resistance without any sacrifice of stretch or breathability.
Eight fluffy jackets for cold-weather pursuits - There's nothing better than feeling that first crispy bite of the cold season: Temps drop to the perfect sending range and tourists go back to their day jobs, meaning more routes for the rest of us. From the chill of fall through the frigidness of winter, while belaying at a windy crag or rappelling off a tall multi-pitch, proper insulation is key. Most of these puffies are best suited for rock climbing belays and frosty campsites, but several pieces would also work well for mountaineering and ice climbing.
Four new jackets that break the mold - The term "hybrid" doesn't just mean space-shippy little cars that save gas. Outdoor companies have adopted the word to mean apparel that combines multiple fabrics within a single layer for comfort and smart performance. Employing what they call "body mapping," designers examine the way certain parts of our bodies work during high- and low-output activities, in all kinds of weather, and then put waterproof shell fabric where you need waterproofing, stretch panels where you need breathability, and insulation where you need warmth, all in the same layer.
Shoulder season means one thing for long rock routes: Be fast, or be prepared. After a few too many times when I was neither, I've learned that I can always afford to carry a few more ounces. So when super-light, stuffable wind shells for climbers first started showing up, I bought one immediately. When the wall goes into shadow, the wind picks up, and you still have four more belays before the top, that triangle of nylon spinning from your harness will be on your back in a hurry, and you'll praise the designers for making it hooded, wind-proof, and possibly even water-resistant.
Renowned for their stance on matters of ethics and environment, Patagonia (patagonia.com) has had a host of top-shelf synthetic-fill insulated jackets, the burly DAS Parka and the Micro Puff Jacket being two staff favorites here at Climbing. In late 2009, Patagonia pushed the limits of weight and packability in an insulated jacket even farther...
Sub-zero temps, brittle ice, horizontal snowfall - if terms like that get your adrenal glands revving and your hands grasping for tools, then it's time to check out what's new in gear for this season.

Aristolochia tomentosa
madabouteu(8A - central Alabama)December 4, 2012
I have some fresh seeds of this vine - does anyone have experience in greminating seeds of this species? Does it need stratification?
morz8(Washington Coast Z8b)
Propagation notes, Explorers Garden - Hinkley: fruits of the pipevine remain extremely hard until late autumn when they soften and dehisce the seeds. Seeds will germinate readily after cold stratification"
If seed is sown immediately, as soon as it is ripe in the Fall, they may germinate in 1-3 months with no moist chill, but for best results you may want to begin with the chill even if you know your seed to be freshest. You're an 8A? I'm 8B, if mine I would sow now through end of January and place the pots outside for mother nature to provide some fluctuating temps before becoming more consistently warmer.

please explain runner vs half runner
I understand bush beans and pole beans. I haven't figured out runners and half runners. I assume a runner is almost as vigorous as a pole bean, but not quite. And I assume a half runner is more than a bush, but not quite a runner.
If that's right, then smallest to largest... bush, half runner, runner, pole? Plant size, not bean size. I understand bean sizes are relatively the same between plant sizes.
Is that even close?
Thank you.
Chris B.
There are 5 growth habits found in common beans.
Runner - same as "pole" and means climbs from 6 to 20 feet
Half Runner - climbs from 3 up to 6 feet
Bush - does not produce runners of any sort
Prostrate - produces short runners that do not climb.
Terminal - produces a stem up to 3 feet long that terminates in a flower bud. This type is similar to half runner in some ways and to bush in others.
I have learned this from Farmerdill some time ago and was just pointed out here by Tormato.
It has nothing to do with the growth habit (though it is a climber) and it is different from common pole (or bush) beans. This bean likes and thrives best in cool climates like England ( per floral -UK) and it also does very well here at PNW. I have only grown Scarlet Runners. I have already sown some seeds. It has long fat pods and is very tasty, to me at least. Zeedman and Farmerdill are the experts on beans here, that I know.
Confusion, confusion, confusion, another example, starts when some pole beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are referred to as runners just because they climb. When I see 'runner' in a description it makes me think of Phaseolus coccineus but it's not always so, it could be a climbing common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).
Another example, 'Somas Greek Lima' is not a lima (Phaseolus lunatus) it's a runner (Phaseolus coccineus), the lima part of the name referring to it either looks like or tastes like a lima bean.
We ran into this when we were trying to find out what the Greek 'Gigandes' was, names can be confusing too.
Does this help or am I adding to the confusion :).
"Just to add to add to the confusion, there are bush runner beans, Stickless Wonder, Hestia, Dwarf Bees etc."
So what you are saying is that there are runners... without runners. That pretty much sums up the inherent confusion of the bean lexicon. ;-)
I'd never heard of Stickless Wonder so I looked it up. It's Vigna unguiculata, so neither P vulgaris or P coccineus.
Over here a runner bean is always P coccineus. There are dwarf runner beans which are also P coccineus.
P vulgaris is called a French bean. They come either as a dwarf French bean or a climbing French bean, but never a runner bean, so there isn't any confusion over what is being referred to.
Flora, here too the customary use for the term runner bean is to apply it to P. coccineus only. A runner bean can be pole, half runner or bush.
P. vulgaris beans are customarily referred to as common beans. We do not normally describe beans as French.
Most of us use the term half runner for beans that climb 3 feet or a bit more and a been that can make it to the top of a 6 foot trellis is getting into pole territory. Some in Appalachia consider 10 feet to be the dividing line since a proper cornfield bean (pole bean) will reach 20 feet. I recall a photo of a single NT half runner plant covering about a 10 foot length of trellis from bottom to top. Dick

Every time I listen to this, ANY version I always get alittle teary from this and then remember the time when sephiroth killed Aeris. thus making myself cry alittle more.
Thats how much I love this
Aww, so sweet.
But i agree with you, this is a calm and easy but also sad piece.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This song breeds nostalgia...
...that takes me back to the days where I was a teenager, playing this game for the first time witnessing the scene of Aeris' death, one of my most favoured characters. The way you have orchestrated the track is beautiful. I can picture the scene again, reliving it as tears roll down my face from the moving speech that Cloud gives about how Aeris will never display any emotion upon her face again, to the Materia tracking it's way to it's watery grave.
Thank you.
Well, okey.
Thanks i guess.
