Carcassonne was besieged and surrendered on 15 August 1209.

Sticking 'Share this page' icon in context menu with no apparent opt in or out is the kind of thing users choose trafficlight to avoid. I searched after the 'Share this page' icon unexpectedly showed up...found mention of trafficlight...disabled trafficlight and it went away. I'll revise this review to 4* if they ditch or option that icon soon. Otherwise, I'll remove Trafficlight from all PC's. This kind of behavior impairs bitdefender's overall reputation...I'm much less likely to choose them for any anti-malware solution after this.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.2.17). This user has a previous review of this add-on.
Tried this to replace old googlebar which works but has some features impaired in new versions of FF. Like googlebar lite, this lacks a key feature for me..my local search..where I put my address into search preferences and it does a map search for say, "paint stores" in my local area...far more convenient than non-localized map search. Also...froogle is gone...so updating google shopping needed. I'm glad this is offered as an option, but I'm not keeping it at this time.
I'm still using googlebar and it works well but has some impairments with recent FF versions and no real support. Tried googlebar lite and it seems to work ok. What's missing is the googlebar My local search function where the user supplies a default address and the my local button triggers a google map search near that location. Put "paint stores" in search bar, hit my local and it shows paint stores near my address. A plain map search shows 1/3 of the country...far less convenient. Please consider adding such a feature.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.9.10). This user has a previous review of this add-on.
Just popped up a site that McAfee siteadviser warned was not safe. When using this add-on also use sietadvisor and world of trust because PriceBlink apparently doesn't filter out sites that might be a threat.
Update: Based on email reply from Priceblink, It appears that SiteAdvisor kicked up a false positive and Pricelink does filter sites for threats. That said, Pricelink did show a price on a different item...a blade instead of a complete blender. That stuff happens..if the price is way below market, suspect a mismatch. I'll continue to use Priceblink and appreciate the follow-thru.
I had IE Tab original...Added IETab V2. Removed the IE Tab original.icon from upper menu and put the V2 icon up there. Then I removed Original..after restart, both icons were gone. I reinstalled V2, No help. Next I'll delete V2 reinstall original and hope I get an icon. Lot to be said for leaving well enough alone. Win7 Home Prem 64-bit YMMV.
I re-installed IETab+ now have an icon...All's well...
Tried to replace googlebar [sill works FF 12], With googlebar, I can input my address which is stored in the preferences..works great for localized searches. Googlebar lite has input on a web page...didn't accept my address or any variation despite my being able to find this address in google maps. I applaud this project because googlebar is orphaned, but it would be nice if local search worked the way the original googlebar did with the address stored in the toolbar.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.9.1).
+Not a memory hog as some have suggested
+No conflict with Bitdefender Quickscan
-Doesn't flag risky sites: I searched for software cracks...a search sure to turn up miscreants of all stripes...many sites were indicated high risk by WOT and McAfee Siteadvisor. All were greenlighted by this sleeping watchdog.
Bottom line: Don't depend on this to flag risky sites...use WOT [great] and perhaps Siteadvisor.
Wish bitdefender made this effective while keeping the minimal overhead.
I hope Bitedefender quickscan is more effective, but I'm not going to infect my PC to test it.
In options, I selected that tabs would unload after 10 minutes, then reload immediately when the unloaded tab is selected. When I selected the unloaded tabs, nothing happened...waited, waited...no reload. then If uninstalled BarTab. I'm astonished the reviews are so positive when it apparently doesn't work..I'm running 3.613 on Win XP pro all updated...not exactly an exotic set up. I'll perhaps revisit this if it changes because I like the concept...if it only worked as described.
A site wasn't working properly..pages linked to dropdown menus wouldn't open or operate properly ...until I turned off ghostery blocking after much trial & error...Whitelisting didn't work. A warning like: "Ghostery may cause some sites not to work properly...if whitelisting doesn't work, turn off blocking." would have saved time griping at site administrator about site defects they didn't cause.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.3.1).
I often slide my mouse cursor over one of the Browser Defender bubbles on a search page...this elicits the pop-up box and it stays on top...quite awhile and there's no consistent way to get it to go away until it decides to. Wish they'd put a 'close' button on the box and/or a setting in options for the number of seconds the box stays visible.
Also, when I do open a risky page...then the box would be nice...the orange bar at the top and change in color isn't enough. WOT and McAfee both open a warning page when I click to open an untrustworthy or risky site...I can then choose to go ahead and open the site or not...usually I choose not. This is a much better system. I replaced Siteadvisor on this PC with BD and want to stay with it but these are changes that need to be made.
GREAT ADD-ON: Installed with no problems; 1st scan was 1-2", Next scan about 2 seconds. Plays well with Avast, my regular anti-virus. BitDefender is highly rated for established malware and this should access same signatures in the cloud though it doesn't scan all files...just the running ones. It's an excellent, low overhead, no cost addition to my anti-malware arsenal.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.9.30).
Didn't work in FF 3.015 Tried the test address shown in directions here...got a blank, no map at all.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.1).

Williams Selyem Bucher Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011
Pinot Noir from Russian River, California
Winemaker's Notes
Newer clones, like Mt. Eden and Swan, are now incorporated into this site blend. The aromas of Bing cherries, forest floor, root beer and smoky tarragon come through on the nose. A mouthful of pie cherries, sassafras, herbal spices and earth are complimented by the richness of broad grape tannins. The toasty oak finish of this wine will age it well for the next 5-7 years.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Bright ruby. Spicy cherry and currant aromas, with Indian spice and mineral qualities building and expanding with air. Sappy and fresh, offering dark berry and bitter cherry flavors and a hint of dark chocolate. A floral note comes up on the focused, chewy finish, which leaves a smoky note behind."
Williams Selyem Winery
Williams Selyem Winery began as a simple dream of two friends, Ed Selyem and Burt Williams, who pursued weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, California, and made their first commercial vintage in 1981. In less than two decades, Burt and Ed created a cult-status winery of international acclaim. Together they set a new standard for Pinot Noir winemaking in the United States, aligning Sonoma County's Russian River Valley in the firmament of the best winegrowing regions of the world. Today John and Kathe Dyson, who purchased the winery from Burt and Ed in 1998, carry on the passion for Pinot Noir winemaking without compromise. As for the wines... they just keep getting better and better. View all Williams Selyem Winery Wines
About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

"We added certain things to the invitation to make it more personalized to us which was no problem at all. This company is great at editing everything to your liking. The purple is beautiful and the flowers on the back look awesome! I can't wait to send these out!!"
"Purchased these invitations in the standard shade of lilac. They are an amazing design and shade of purple. The invitations are on a very thick card stock. I can't imagine anything I would change about these beautiful invitations. I look forward to framing one next to our wedding photo. My only small complaint is there is a very small amount of black discoloration around some of the outline on one or two of the invitations. I suspect it is just dust from the machinery. It's so minor though that you hardly notice it and the invitations are so perfect that they distract from this issue. I only noticed because I stared at the invitation for a good 10 minutes just admiring it....................."
"Can't say enough about the quality and "class" of this traditional heavyweight William Arthur invitation! Simply stunning and we received so many compliments! WPD was so easy to work with - spacing and wording was exactly as I wanted it to be. The online chat is great and so helpful. It was so nice to have William Arthur include a few extra invitations at no charge."
"So pleased with the quality of this product and its related stationery. Customer service was prompt and always helpful. Received many compliments on these from guests."
"WOW is all I continue to say. I am so unbelievably happy with the final product of my invitations. I had ordered several samples and this one stuck out immediately! I loved the design and the gold color on the creme stock card. Although there was other color options when ordering, I kept the gold as I thought it was very classy and appropriate for our venue. I had a couple of designer requests made to the invite so I was anxious to see how it would finally look in person. It came out awesome! I had requested the grooms parents names be written under his and that "black tie optional" be added to the bottom right. My fiance and I are so very happy with the way they came out and I cannot wait to send them out to all my guests. We also had the return addresses printed on all the envelopes as well as a matching gold liner added to the envelopes."

Metrodome Acquires Brit Horror 'The Reverend' for U.K. and Ireland
LONDON – British low-budget horror movie The Reverend, starring Rutger Hauer and Tamer Hassan, will look to scare up box office in the U.K. and Ireland via AIM-listed indie distributor Metrodome.
The U.K. based distribution banner said it plans a limited theatrical run for the movie from August 3 this year having snapped up U.K. and Irish rights.
The deal was negotiated for Metrodome by head of acquisitions Joel Kennedy and Metrodome acquisitions manager Giles Edwards with the film's producers Neil Jones and Stuart Brennan.
The movie, directed by Jones and also including Brennan in the cast, details the story of a freshly-trained reverend posted to a rural idyll to work who finds all is not as rosy as it looks.

Riccardo Tisci's Spring 2013 collection for Givenchy was the epitome of restrained elegance with its focus on mostly black, blue, and white tones, uplifted by simple organza ruffles. For Fall 2013, he returns to the Tisci we're more familiar with. The collection bursts forth with prints and more graphic tops and sweatshirts than any girl around the way could want. His latest creations are seeming amalagamations of his past work: paisley patterns are in abundance, infused with flames, and his famous graphic tops come equipped with a new cast of characters. Thankfully (and fittingly), he also offers something new, namely florals and plaids remixed in a way only Tisci could.
Replacing the Rottweiler is a Bambi like deer, who, face cut off, seems to peer into a mirror.
Tisci also goes back to his consistent heroine Virgin Mary, emblazoning her face onto sweatshirts emboldened by flames.
For the more restrained Givenchy customer, the house provides several timeless black pieces, along with new striped snakeskin booties in an assortment of colors.
And for those yearning for the new 'must have' print or piece, Tisci delivers saucy sheer pencil skirts, gypsy inspired patchwork bomber jackets, fire red paisleys, rose adorned leather jackets, and plaid button downs.
Let's be honest: taken as a whole, some looks can seem jumbled and downright alarming. An old school swimming cap paired with a shaggy fur and paisley dress doesn't particularly scream chic at first glance.
Once filtered down for the masses, however, this collection is sure to be yet another retail hit. Those who want to splurge can enjoy the all black ensembles or go for more adventurous in paisley or floral printed separates. Brand fans who cling more to the tees will undoubtedly buy a Bambi or Virgin Mary sweatshirt come next fall.
Tisci has managed to stay true to the historic austerity of Givenchy while speaking to contemporary fashion lovers who have a bit of street swagger. I have no doubt Givenchy fans Rihanna, Lala Anthony, and Kim Kardashian will be rocking more than one piece in the upcoming months (before they hit stores, natch).
What do you think? See our review of Givenchy's Spring 2013 collection here.
I can definitely see it being a hit with the celebrity set. Loving the toggle jacket especially, and the burgundy boots.
i rebuke thee satan… the power of Christ compels you!
ok, now that's outta the way, the collection is dope.
But I do look the sheer, embellished pieces,
I'm not the biggest fan of the Fall 2013 collection but I can see the greatness of some of the pieces. I'll give 8 out if 10 to Tisci.
me thinks i just found the new direction of my newly natural hair.
bedhead red.
all over the place messy
Stunning… I especially love the fur details… Looks like fur is going to be very popular this Fall/Winter
Interesting cuts, conceptual prints and palette. Moving away from what has been known as Givenchy and re-inventing it'self.

Once the capital of a proud Jewish queen, Erbil could emerge as Obama's Stalingrad

AMX Develops Pre-Packaged Digital Signage Solutions for Inspired Signage Product Line
LAS VEGAS â June 18, 2008 â AMX® extended its Inspired Signage digital signage product family today with a new line of pre-packaged solutions that eliminate custom development, providing AMX system integrators with a comprehensive and complete digital signage solution that is easier to sell and significantly faster to implement. The first product introduced in the Inspired-2-Go line is specifically tailored to the education market. Solutions for other vertical markets will be available in the future. AMX will demonstrate Inspired-2-Go Education (IS-2-GO-EDU) in booth C2902 at InfoComm 2008, being held June 18 â 20 in Las Vegas.
âAs flat screen displays have become more affordable, a growing number of organizations are adopting digital signage as both a way to communicate to constituents â whether they be customers, employees or students â and generate revenue from advertising,â? said Robert Noble, AMX chief technology officer. âWith Inspired-2-Go, integrators can quickly jump on board one of the fastest-growing sectors of the audio/video (A/V) market while administrators can implement a digital signage solution that their staff can support long term.â?
Inspired-2-Go Education significantly reduces the cost and turnaround time associated with initial implementation by providing pre-packaged layouts containing graphics and animations specifically designed for the K-12 and higher education markets. The layouts also enable administrators to customize and change the design and content distributed to their displays whenever they want, and with very little training â from announcements, event calendars, menus and video clips to news headlines and local weather. Because the solution is networked and enables dynamic content, organizations can share the most up-to-date information with students and staff via displays installed in cafeterias, libraries, lobby/reception areas, classrooms, student centers, break areas, gyms and stadiums.
Inspired-2-Go Education includes the following components:
* Inspired Player (IS-Player-200) â A hardware and software solution that generates high-resolution images up to 1080p. The hardware is a dedicated, special purpose computer that supports VGA, DVI and S-Video. The software installed on the device renders the content that is then sent to the display.
* Inspired Composer with Inspired-2-Go Layouts â A software solution that is locally installed on a userâs PC that enables templates and content to be updated. It also allows content to be scheduled for distribution. The software includes 100 layouts that provide pre-defined content locations, animation/special effects and fonts that have been selected specifically with the education market in mind.
Inspired-2-Go Education will be available within 90 days.

The Shuswap Trail Alliance is all about collaboration
We encourage all groups and individuals who love trails to work together.
By working collaboratively we can create efficiencies in trail building, marketing, maintenance, and planning. The Shuswap Trail Alliance successfully demonstrates how working together WORKS!
Working together on the Shuswap Trail Strategy. . .
The Shuswap Trail Strategy is the regional multi-stakeholder initiative working to establish the entire Shuswap watershed as a united destination trail center known for its active lifestyle, vibrant culture, natural beauty, and commitment to sustainable ecology. It acknowledges that well designed, signed, maintained, and promoted, a trail network is an asset of significant economic value.
– Well-designed, well-signed, well maintained, well promoted –
The Shuswap Trail Alliance is the organizational body (formed in 2005) through which local and regional leadership work together to develop and implement the Shuswap Trails Strategy as First Nations, stewardship, government, industry, business, and community stewardship organizations and individuals.
Check out our Mission and Goals.
Trail Stewardship
Shuswap Trail Alliance Stewards are individuals and groups in the community who build, monitor or maintain trails throughout the region. The Shuswap Trail Stewards Program is a work in progress building tools and resources to assist local trail stewards. Whether you just want to get out for a walk and help flick sticks, or help to organize full on volunteer trail stewardship events, there's a place for you! Check out the Volunteer page here.
Trail Design Standards
The Shuswap Trail Design Standards help all the partners throughout the region provide a consistent level of quality while creating a variety of options based on trail user's needs. They are based on the Provincial Trail Standards, The Whistler Trail Design Standards, Natural Surface Trails by Design written by Troy Scott Parker, and the Trail Solutions Manuals published by IMBA.
The Shuswap Trail Sign Style Guide grew out of a shared agreement by regional partners to establish a unifying trail wayfinding sign message throughout the Shuswap that could be adapted for use in local communities and trail systems. They were developed in conjunction with the Provincial Trail Sign Standards for the Province of British Columbia (See: J. Hawkings, Sign Guidelines. Ministry of Tourism, Sport, and the Arts, British Columbia. December 7, 2007)
Shuswap Trail Sign Standards: Update Samples (December 2011) - Use of the Shuswap Trail Sign Style Guidelines have evolved since first publication in 2008. Most notable was the combination of individual plates into a more aesthetically cohesive, cost efficient, and easier to mount single plate. The Update Samples provide photographs showing some of the variations and application of the Sign Style Guidelines. Watch for further update samples and a complete update of the Sign Style Guidelines to come.
Shuswap Trail Rating System and Icons - The trail rating system is used to classify trail difficulty. The icons are from the Whistler Standards adopted by the Province of BC (MTSA, 2007; Whistler Standards, 2003) While intended for Mountain Bike trails, where hike/cycle/equestrian trails exist and only one rating system is feasible, these icons are the default. Additional rating systems are being developed for hike, EQ, and winter only trails, but a single overall framework provides a basic level of consistency to work with. Watch for further updates in this area as the Province of BC Recreation Sites and Trails office works on revised rating standards.
Shuswap Trail Maintenance Standards - Shuswap Trail maintenance guidelines follow provincial standards (Recreation Sites and Trails and BC Parks.) Following standard maintenance guidelines from pruning branches to broadcasting blow down ensures consistent safety along trails, lowers fire fuel loads, and improves the visual appeal of trails. From stick flicking on a walk to joining a weekend volunteer trail event - there's a stewardship role for you.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

While not quite mainstream yet, WebRTC is starting to gain ground with Carriers, Enterprises and Independent Software Vendors (ISV's) alike. WebRTC makes it easy for developers to add audio and video communications into their applications by using Web browsers as their platform.

Smaller + lighter + simpler = better.
Petzl took the most-used assisted-braking belay device on the planet, made it 25% smaller and 20% lighter, gave it a wider functional range, and called it the Grigri 2. Unlike the previous model, the Grigri 2 works on ropes clear down to 8.9mm because, let's face it, we've all used the last model well outside its recommended specs. In addition, the new release system uses a graduated cam, which gives you better control while lowering your climber. Since Petzl knows that you'll be using this belay device for a decade or more, it made the cam out of burly stainless steel for a seriously long life.
- Durable stainless steel cam and friction plates stand up to years of use
- Easy-to-read diagrams on the aluminum side plates help you make sure you're set up correctly
- Assisted braking system helps check your partner's fall when he skips one clip and botches the next
- Brake handle gives you excellent control for lowering
- Designed to accommodate rope diameters between 8.9 and 11 millimeters; ideal rope diameters are between 9.4 to 10.3 millimeters

Awesome Belay Device
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
While this isn't my go-to belay device, I am quite fond of it. It's simple to use and works wonders. I almost exclusively use it on top rope because I feel it's easier to feed slack with a tube style belay device, but regardless it always boosts my confidence a bit knowing that my belayer is using it. It also makes it a lot easier to hold a climber who is hanging on the rope. When we're with a group, we hand it to the less-experienced belayers just to provide a little more piece of mind. As with any device, it's not entirely fool proof and you still have to know what you're doing, but it's a lot more forgiving than a tube style belay device. Lighter than the original but just as good. I've used both and trust them both completely.
great for cragging
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I like that you can drink a beer and pose for a photo while you belay a toproper. grigri seems to be the standard over the cinch or whatever else, and for a good reason, it's easy to use and light. Provides some added confidence when leading. If you have a twisted up rope or flattened rope it can get a little funky and be hard to give slack but with a nice rope it is sexy smooth
Great little tool!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'm kinda embarrassed to say that after rock climbing for 4 years this is the first time I've tried one. Seen people use them a time or two. Didn't think it was necessary (and probably still isn't) but after ice climbing this winter at Ouray and watching others use them extensivley on top rope at the Park, I was sold. If your partner wants to hang dog all day, no problem. It makes nice catches as well. Once you get used to it you can move pretty seamlessly between paying out slack and taking in. Definitely worth a try before you buy. Not going to throw away my ATC but it is a great tool for those long days at the crag.
Better than my old one. Still awesome.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've always been a huge gri-gri fan, and this one is even better. I like the smaller, more compact feel of the new model, and the fact that it works better with thinner ropes is another great reason to upgrade.
I still have my old gri-gri, which I've used for well over a decade on thousands of routes; it's well worn but still works great, and I'll keep it around for gym sessions and as a spare device. It looks like it still has another five or ten years of life in it. So it's been a great investment.
Buy a grigri if you want to belay
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I took a huge fall and pulled my belayer into a gully where he could have easier been injured and let go of his brake hand (he was using an ATC). Had he not been a great belayer and avoided injury, I would have fallen at least 30-40 feet into the same gully. I knew from then on I needed to be safer and use an auto-locking belay device (as well as my belay partner). I purchased an auto-locking grigri because of how safe it is immediately after that happened. I encourage all to do the same.
Sam Auderer
Great to Have
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really like having a Grigri in my gear bag. It is simply a great tool to have around in a multitude of situations. I like to have it handy if the climber is going to be hanging on a steep sport project, at the gym, for using with lesser-experienced belayers who I haven't climbed with before. I haven't used it in any multipitch situations, but I've read up and would be confident using it in place of my ATC guide if I felt so inclined.
Learning curve for lead belaying is a little bit more steep than with an ATC Guide, but the added safety when used properly is well worth learning some new techniques.
Giving a proper catch
My friend Squirrel giving our pal a proper TR belay. While the GriGri is an awesome assisted braking belay device, it's unsafe not keeping a brake hand on the rope at all times!

Close up of the GriGri
Tech. Talk
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have observed the grigri v. ATC debates for years and I'm stepping in with some technical pros and cons about this belay device. I used to hold some strong opinions against grigris because of the 'idiot-proof' image surrounding them, which I often fear instills laziness and a lack of education. I have had friends hit the deck when getting belayed with a grigri so know that no fancy tool can replace an attentive belayer who understands how to appropriately use their gear.
That being said, I have owned a grigri2 for years and I have truly grown to love it. When used properly, it gives a smooth and safe belay. I particularly like it when I'm giving a lead belay to a climber who significantly outweighs me since it minimizes the chance of rope-burn on my hands in case they take a big whipper.
Additionally, I've started implementing it in more technical rescue scenarios and I think it's a lot easier, and in many cases far more effective, than using an ATC Guide. While the grigri isn't truly a hands-off device like the ATC is when in Guide mode, using a grigri allows you to lower in a top-belay position without having to defeat the plate and it means that you don't have to remove your belay device from the system if you go into a 3:1 or 5:1 hauling system. Similarly, the locking mechanisms in the grigri help to eliminate the use of multiple prussiks if you're ascending a line or if you want an adjustable tether while managing the top of a site. The only downside of the grigri is that you can't use it for double-stranded rappels, so if you're going on multi-pitch climbs that don't have a walk-off you'll need to carry an ATC anyways for the decent.
For climbers who do a lot of multi-pitching or guiding: the grigri deserves some serious consideration as an addition to your rack.
For folks who don't understand a word that I just wrote: Climb on! buy whichever belay device is in your price range and master how to use it safely.
Derek Newman
An easy way to belay.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I go with the GriGri 2 anytime I hit the gym or single-pitch crag. It definitely offers the easiest belay out any belay device I've used, helping me relax when my climber is flailing a lot on projects. While climbing, knowing my belayer is using the GriGri2 boosts my confidence to push harder without worrying over whether I'll hit the ground or not. I wish the GriGri2 was more versatile on big walls and multipitches, otherwise I'd bring it on every climb.
Chris S.
Simple, elegant, solid design...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Lighter and smaller for smaller ropes. Works fine in warm weather. No problems whatsoever. I will be testing it in the Himalayas next April so will get a better idea of how it handles in extreme situations.
Julian Foglietti
Best impulse of my life!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Yeah i was that idiot who bought a gri gri after climbing for 2 weeks. But I've never been more happy with a purchase in my life. I got my grigri to use in single rope assent ion teqnique while doing photography. It works marvelously in this scenario as well as all other climbing scenarios I've put it thorough. The grigri is the swiss army knife of climbing equipment and if your an avid climber you will not be disappointed.
Vadim G
Solid piece of gear
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It's not rocket science...it works well, it's heavier than an ATC but provides an extra level of safety. I now have a policy of ALWAYS using one when leading in the gym (there are a lot of distractors around). overall big fan
Will S.
Just really solid and good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm a big fan of the Grigri 2. It works super well for sport climbing, especially when someone is going to be hanging for awhile.

Safety first!
Not only do I enjoy being belayed on a grigi, but I really enjoy using a grigi even while belying someone on lead. More often than not I find myself weighing much less than my counterpart on the sharp end, so the grigi provides me with the extra help and admittedly a little extra comfort of knowing that if worst case scenario happens and I go sailing, am somehow knocked unconscious - my partner will be safe.
I find that teaching others how to belay on a grigi is quite simple. More often than not, my complaints surrounding the grigi are usually geared more towards user error or the sticky New England humidity. Just make sure to clean the grigi every now and then to cut down on rope wear and general gunk build up.
The grigi is particularly convenient when you end up needing a boost from your belay partner on faceless slabby starts (Not a suggested climbing technique)

Keeping Yo Skin From Hittin' The Deck
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Gave this puppy as a gift to my cousin that got me into climbing. Figured it was time to share the love to keep his hide safe.
He's got a 10.5 mm rope I think? The tech specs talk about the 10.3 being on the upper end for being ideal but I've heard no problems about his rope having issues.
All in all, a grigri is a must have for folks that are either new to climbing or belaying someone that has a bit more weight then themselves... or if you want to keep safe in any situation.

How to Build a Pot Rack With Shelf
An easy-to-make pot rack embellished with decorative mirrors adds beauty and function to a kitchen.
Tools and Materials:
3/4" medium-density fiberboard (MDF)
Brad nailer and 1-1/4" brad nails
wood glue
sand paper
primer and paint
super glue and a construction adhesive
S hooks
L brackets, with included hardware
table saw and a miter saw
decorative mirrored pieces (you can buy at craft or hardware stores)
two metal grates at least 8" wide (we used replacement pieces from a barbeque grill)
level and tape measure
metal cutoff saw
safety glasses
1. Cut the MDF to make the pot rack frame. It will be a double-thick frame with one rectangle inside another. The inner rectangle will be shorter than the outer so that it can serve as a ledge to hold the metal-grate shelf. Here is our cut list. Make yours according to the size of your metal grates.
- two inner pieces at 28-1/2" x 1-1/2"
- two inner pieces at 7-7/8" x 1-1/2"
- two outer pieces at 30" x 3"
- two outer pieces at 9-3/8" x 3"
2. Build the smaller rectangle then wrap the larger rectangle around it. The inner and outer will be flush at the bottom of the pot rack. Secure the pieces together with wood glue and Brad nails.
3. When the glue dries, paint the frame with two coats of primer.
4. On the exposed edges of the pot rack, use construction adhesive to attach the decorative mirror pieces. We did a layer of rectangular mirrors with a layer of hexagon mirrors on top.
5. Set the metal grates into the pot rack. If necessary, use a metal cutoff saw to trim the grate to fit inside the pot rack frame.
6. Attach L brackets to the wall where you want to hang the pot rack. Ensure that the brackets are level then place the pot rack on top the brackets. Secure the pot rack to the brackets.
7. Hang the S hooks from the metal grates then hang your pots and pans on the hooks.
