Ryan Freel's family is donating his brain to science for study of head trauma
Dec 31, 2012, 10:50 AM EDT
Ryan Freel committed suicide via gun shot last week at age 36 and now his family is hoping that science can provide some answers about a possible link to his numerous concussions as an athlete.
Freel's brain tissue will be sent for testing at the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, where many former NFL players have been studied post-mortem for evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
Freel's ex-wife Christie Moore Freel shared some revealing details about her home life during 11 years of marriage, telling Mike Tierney of the New York Times:
I don't know how many times he would talk about sliding into second or third base and blacking out or seeing stars. I cringed that that's who he was–all-out, full throttle. It was very hard to watch. … I know a lot of people say they weren't shocked by it, but I really was. I really thought, at some point, the answer to all of this would come along for him. It just never did. I'm very hopeful. We certainly believe there is some sort of connection.
Freel's step-father told Tierney that the family believes he sustained at least 15 concussions and his ex-wife shared the story of a Venezuelan winter league game in which Freel had to be hospitalized for a concussion after crashing through an outfield wall.
Tierney's article also includes further details about Freel's memory loss and mood swings and other post-concussion symptoms, plus a whole lot of very sad stories and comments from his family. Hopefully at least the studying of his brain tissue can provide them with some answers and perhaps help future athletes in Freel's position.

I don't talk about or incorporate enough faith (Christian faith specifically) in my blog entries...probably because I'm trying to poke fun and use humor, which always comes at the expense of someone or something, and there isn't a lot of room for humor in the teaching of Jesus because he is literally talking about life and death...not very funny subject matter. Mel Gibson tried to tackle that glass ceiling a few years ago and in my humble opinion he failed miserably.
I want to though! I don't have my abilities without Him, I don't have ANYTHING without Him.
Granted, I'm no preacher...I couldn't even convince water to be wet. I did try once to convince Donald Trump to do a combover, but I don't know how that ended up working out....but in any case it wouldn't hurt trying give Him a little shout out once in a while.
Its clear that conservatism is on the ropes in our culture because we are proceeding to participate in public discourse without Him. No amount of debating on talk radio or online forums, or confrontation of protesters is ever going to change the mind of someone who thinks gay marriage is the same as what marriage has been since man started recognizing the difference between shit and shinola (shinola has a pretty bad smell to it), and that abortion is about privacy rights and not about life. In fact the polarization we are currently experiencing today in the world isn't drawn on political lines, but religious and moral ones.
That has been the problem, we think we need to change minds when we really need to change hearts.
And its not us changing their hearts, He is!
...the right direction leads not only to peace but to knowledge. When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right.
-C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
The ONLY way to win the culture war we find ourselves in right now (assuming we are even meant to win it) is to bring God back to the pop culture and public conscience.
So what do we do about this Christians? 'Cuz TBN and the 700 Club ain't making it happen!
What do we do?
I shared this post with a friend of mine (I don't want to say who explicitly, but their name rhymes with Raback Jomama), and it turns out "The Passion of the Christ" was in fact hilarious, and apparently, the humor is above my "paygrade".

When I was buying up all my second hand DW books cant a year and a half ago I accidentaly saw the last line of Jingo at the back of the book which was something like: 'and Vimes ran away as fast as he could.' I then saw the front cover of the 5th Elephant which to my untrained eyes appeared to show someone looking like Vimes still running away.
So I thought that there was an ongoing plot about Vimes being a fugitive, which turned out untrue in the end but I found it funny at the time.
Anyone else had a moment like this? Or just stupidly read a bit you shouldn't've before it's time?

Winemaker Herve Sabardeli has made this wine in an unoaked style so it delivers rich, ripe, fresh fruit flavour. To retain the flavour and complexity this wine has only had a light filtration. This may result in a small harmless sediment forming over time in the bottom of the bottle.

Costume parades, joyful music, splendorous masks… Those are no more than just a few of the countless details that make Carnival in Tuscany simply magical.
This festivity usually takes place four Sundays before the Shrove Tuesday, in Italian "Martedi Graso", and it is an event celebrated like no other, specially in Viareggio. A city located at a relatively short distance from Florence.
Begun in February 1873, Viareggio's Carnival is considered worldwide to be one of the finest celebrations in all Italy, and its biggest assets are definitely the float parades displaying enormous figures made of papier-mâché, alongside 200 people dressed up in full costume.
Every year thousands of people from all over the world choose Viareggio as a Carnival destination, and many say the major reason to do so is the opportunity to enjoy the parade and see what theme they come up with each year.
Although dressing up in full costume is not strictly required most people choose to do so, while other prefer to keep it simple and just wear a "Burlamacco" mask or put on some fancy make-up. Whatever may the case be, what really matters is enjoying the party atmosphere.
Needless to say that no description could ever match the sensation of being there.
Il Salviatino will be keeping at your disposal a special carnival package, valid every weekend from the 4th of February to the 4th of March.
It includes, besides a 2 nights stay in De Luxe Double Room of our luxury hotel in Florence, a trip to Viareggio with Lunch for two. All of this to let you experience Tuscan's Carnival at its best.

It's a failure just as Vista was.... go back and read the first threads when Vista came out... deja vu...
It took MS almost a year to actually acknowledge that Vista flopped.
I am already seeing Windows 9 or whatever is called coming up next year to correct the mistake that this OS is...
Posted 27 November 2012 - 21:34
"Without acknowledging directly the critics -- including yours truly -- who've found Windows 8 less than intuitive, Reller said that users are finding Windows 8 "easy to understand and embrace." She said users are exploring Windows 8 and enjoying learning it, from Day 1.
Based on customer feedback and information gathered by Microsoft's customer support organization, "We do know that customers do, indeed, 'get' the product," she said.
She said that over 90 percent of those purchasing Windows 8 and Windows RT devices are using the Charms on Day one. (Charms are the icons that provide search, sharing and other basic functions that can be found by swiping in from the right on a Windows 8/Windows RT device.) She said they are using search between two to three times a day every time they are on their devices. And she played up Microsoft's data that found more than half of the users are using the Windows Store on their first day."
Posted 27 November 2012 - 21:35
So if it sold about the same number of licenses as Windows 7 did in the first month, how come the adoption rate is so much lower?
Posted 27 November 2012 - 21:36
Yeah, I imagine releasing at this time of year it's easy to say you "sold" X number to OEMs.
Still, it's clearly not going to be the utter failure everyone here wants it to be.
Posted 27 November 2012 - 21:38
Windows 7 took 3 months to sell 60 million licenses. Windows 8 took 1 month to sell 40 Million.. i'm not sure HOW YOU can spin that as bad or "vista" like.
Posted 27 November 2012 - 21:40
Selling licenses does not make 8 a better OS imo
People who have used 7 since RTM are more likely to have faith in the next OS considering how well 7 did
Posted 27 November 2012 - 21:43
How does it sound like that? That is actually the complete opposite of what it sounds like.
Posted 27 November 2012 - 21:44
Considering all the buzz they generated at launch, it should be no surprise. I wonder what Store numbers look like. There's another press release I'd love to see.
Posted 27 November 2012 - 21:47
To be fair, he never said Win8 didn't sell well.
He said that it's not doing as well as internal predictions.
40mil is great but if they expected to sell 70mil then it's not doing great
Whatever, I think 40 mil is not bad, specially after all the complaining I've been reading over the past year

Q:Can this be used as a face wash?Asked on 2/5/2014 by Mi from Washington , IL

A:I wouldn't recommend it as it may dry out the sensitive and temperamental skin of the face. I would stick to a more traditional cleanser.Answered on 3/21/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
Q:Is this scrubby? Does it exfoliate?Asked on 6/7/2013 by Lovebug
2 answers
A:No, Dirty Springwash is not scrubby as it does not contain any exfoliating ingredients.Answered on 10/2/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:This product does lather, however, it does not have an exfoliating quality (like in a scrub).Answered on 9/14/2013 by Saristotle from St. Louis, MO
Q:does it wear away new tattoos?Asked on 5/8/2013 by Mikal from United States
1 answer
A:The Dirty Springwash is a standard shower gel, so to the best of my knowledge there is nothing in it that would be especially stripping for new tattoos. However, most tattoo artists provide explicit cleaning instructions, so it might be best to run the ingredients by them and double check what they recommend or suggest to avoid.Answered on 9/24/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct

A child's room can be a challenge, especially if the plan is for the décor to have longevity. Here are some ideas for designing a room that'll thrill a young child yet still be versatile enough for any 'tween or teen.
Make an impact with bright, vibrant tones. Think of fun, sophisticated colors that easily transition from birth to early childhood to the teens and beyond, for example, aqua, tangerine or celery paired with cocoa brown or warm tan. Bright colors on the wall make a nice backdrop for more neutral furnishings and accessories.
Go beyond stereotypical colors. Many designers are getting away from the stereotypical yellows, blues and pinks that used to color nearly every child's bedroom. An all-pink room may be perfect for a little girl who loves princesses, but it may become an eyesore to that same girl and her parents when she's older. A compromise: Consider working with her favorite tone of pink, but add some lime green, sunshine yellow and sky blue for balance and to provide flexibility for the future.
Paint the room a neutral color, with one bright anchor wall or a single, thick, vertical stripe in a color of the child's choosing. Add hits of bright primary colors for accent, such as throw cushions, toys, storage bins, art and lamps – items that can easily be traded out as the child's tastes change. And don't forget to consider paint sheen. A good choice is an eggshell or satin to minimize the appearances of dirt and stains, which are almost inevitable in a child's room.
Choose multipurpose furniture. Help parents make intelligent furniture decisions by suggesting pieces that can serve double duty. A changing table that turns into a dresser can last for years, and an armoire that holds toys can later be used to store an older child's TV, sound system and gaming console. Look for cribs that convert into junior beds, small sofas, settees, daybeds and later twin-size beds.
"A daybed offers the look of a sofa or small settee, appealing to children as they grow," says Pam O'Hallaron, interior designer for PoshTots. "When placed against the wall, they open up the room for a stimulating area and more room for active play."
Linda Sheppard, owner of Dreamland Kids, a store for infants' and children's rooms, agrees. "Parents can spend $500 and get a good crib that will last for three years, or they can spend a little more and get a bed that lasts a lifetime." For a practical yet eclectic look, consider incorporating furniture that your client already has or that's purchased from second-hand or antique stores, such as dressers, rocking chairs, side tables, headboards, bookcases, shelving, lamps and quilts.
Skip the wallpaper. Some parents feel compelled to over-decorate their kids' rooms. Show them how saving the pattern for window treatments, décor and bedding can make future changes easier and less expensive. Solid, unpapered walls can more easily transition between décor trends with just a coat of paint.
Avoid characters or themes. Kids can change their minds about their favorite movie, TV or book character or their favorite interest – pirates, fairies, dinosaurs, horses, superheroes – several times in just one week. Help parents avoid having to redecorate the same room over and over again by convincing them to stay away from designing around a specific character, interest or theme. Show them how accessories – a strategic piece of framed art, new bedding, a shelf for showcasing a special collection – can make a child just as happy without all the hassle. If parents are adamant about incorporating a design on the walls, consider removable or reusable wall decals in designs that range from farm animals and the alphabet to art deco and Marimekko patterns.
Children change and grow. If your design plan includes a nod to the future, their rooms can do the same.

Samaritan Medical Center believes that spiritual care is an important part of providing the care to northern New York and the Fort Drum community. If you or someone you love is hospitalized and would like to speak to one of our spiritual/pastoral care staff, please ask your nurse to contact us or you may call us directly at 315-786-4948.
Director of Pastoral Care
phone: 315-786-4948
pager: 315-785-1577
or use our Contact Us Form
Roman Catholic Chaplain
p. 315-785-4195
pager. 315-785-6782
Our Staff and Spiritual Care Team
Information for Clergy
We currently do not provide regular opportunities for community worship for those who are hospitalized at Samaritan. However, for those who are able to leave their room and floor independently or for your friends and family, there is a meditation room and chapel on the second floor of the hospital. The room is open at all times and provides a place for quiet reflection.
If you are Roman Catholic, our Roman Catholic Chaplain is available to arrange for you to participate in the sacramental ministry of the church. Eucharistic Ministers round daily, and local Roman Catholic priests are available regularly to provide the sacrament of the sick and address other pastoral care needs.
If you belong to another faith group, we will also be happy to assist you in locating resources to support your spiritual needs while you are hospitalized.
back to top
The Samaritan Medical Center Chapel is currently located on the second floor of the hospital. It is always open and available to anyone wishing to find a place for prayer or quiet spiritual reflection.
The Pastoral Care Office is located in Room 415 on the fifth floor of the hospital. The office is shared by the Director and the Roman Catholic Chaplain and is the point of contact for area clergy who are visiting the hospital.
The Samaritan Keep Nursing Home Chapel is located on the first floor. It is always open and available to anyone wishing to find a place for prayer or quiet spiritual reflection.

Rev. Leon ("Toby") Schilling is Director of Pastoral Care Services. Toby has worked in the healthcare community in and around Watertown for over 40 years and at Samaritan Medical Center for the past 15 years. In 2005, he became director of the department. Toby is a graduate of State University College at Oswego with a BA in psychology and of Union Theological Seminary in New York City with a Master of Divinity. Following seminary, Toby was ordained and continued Clinical Pastoral Education at St. Luke's Hospital where he completed a year's internship and then went to Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn where he completed a year's residency in pastoral care. Prior to coming to Samaritan, he served in clinical and administrative positions in psychiatry and alcoholism rehabilitation services at the former Mercy Center for Health Services in Watertown.
Sr. Flavia D'costa is the Roman Catholic Chaplain in our department. She is a member of the order Sisters of the Cross of Chavanod and came to us in 2010 from India. Sr. Flavia rounds daily in the hospital and is available to provide spiritual care and support as well as serves as the liaison with the local Roman Catholic community.
Samaritan considers the pastors and other clergy of our community as part of our care team. We welcome their visits and support in ministering to those who come to us for care. If you are a local pastor, please remind the members of your congregation to notify you when they are hospitalized. Otherwise, we will ask them about their religious affiliation and whether they wish to have us visit them while they are here and make necessary arrangements for a visit.
Samaritan has been richly blessed by the gifts of the time and talents of our volunteers. Among our volunteers are Eucharistic Ministers from several of our local Roman Catholic Parishes who come daily to distribute Holy Communion. Some have been specially trained visit patients who are assigned to them by the Director or do clerical work in the office. Other volunteers assist at our neighboring facility, Samaritan Keep Home, assisting residents wishing to attend a community worship experience held each Wednesday or perhaps coming to the Rosary Group held on Fridays. Others distribute Holy Communion and visit those unable to attend the community services at a central location.
Interested in volunteering – contact us the Director of Volunteer Services at 315-786-4948.
The Clergy Core Group is made up of members of our Pastoral Care staff and community clergy and serves in an advisory capacity to the Department.
The Group meets six times a year and supports us by:
-Identifying ways we may better identify and meet the spiritual needs of the hospital and nursing home.
-Serving as a liaison with the larger religious community
-Advocating for the spiritual needs of the hospital, nursing home, and larger community
-Raise the consciousness of the community regarding the activities of the Department
Currently serving as members of the group (in addition to Sr. Flavia and Rev. Schilling):
Fr. Arthur LaBaff, Dean
Jefferson County Roman Catholic Deanery
Pastor, St. Mary's Roman Catholic Parish, Clayton
Rev. Leon VanWie, Pastor Asbury United Methodist Church, Watertown.
back to top
Samaritan Medical Center is very fortunate to have the support and resources of the local faith community who come and visit their parishioners who are in the hospital and residents in our long term care facility. We feel strongly that patients who are hospitalized maintain their relationship with their home parish or congregation and, with our patients' (residents') permission will do our best to let you know when that occurs. In addition, we provide three seminars during the year on topics related to pastoral care to which we invite area clergy. One of those occasions is also the celebration, in October each year, of Pastoral Care Week. On that day, in addition to the educational offering, we share a meal in recognition of and gratitude for the work of the spiritual caregivers who visit our patients and residents.
If you are new to the community as a pastor or spiritual care provider, please call and introduce yourself to the director so that we can facilitate our work together here at the hospital. Anyone with a question or concern should feel free to contact the director at any time.

Agreed.. one of the 'Buntus or Mint would probably be the best option if you want it to work with minimal fuss, and there's an awful lot of documentation/support for when it throws a curveball at you. Which flavor you go depends on your DE of choice personally. I like KDE myself (for me the most complete desktop with the least "WTF were they smoking" bundled with it), Mate or Cinnamon are nice options too. XFCE's a good pick if you want something a bit lightweight, for me a bit lacking on features, but depends on your needs. Unity and Gnome 3.. well, when it comes to those two I'll probably get a warning for expressing my opinion on those.
Therefore, the easiest thing to do is probably install Ubuntu and simply remove the applications you don't want, just like you have been doing. Once you are more comfortable with how the operating system works you could consider moving to Arch, Debian, Gentoo, or some other distribution by judging their technical merits for yourself.
YaST. If you're into headaches I can definitely recommend it. Otherwise, I'd move along. (Maybe I'm being harsh, haven't tried it in a year or so.)
Beyond that, they don't have too many strong points. I wouldn't recommend this distribution to anyone.

The formative idea behind 'The Practical Christian Application Reference and Resource' (PCARR) is simple: Having a place to gather the types of resources that can truly be of use to ourselves and others in their practical daily lives.
Field Wise
There are so many Christian websites out there. There is a lot of duplication of effort, some good, some run of the mill. For the most part they attempt to centralize the hosting of their own copyrighted content. There are not so many resources existing however from the different types of people that have actually lived through and experienced the topics identified here. Our objective is to link both ourselves and others undergoing similar difficulties to these valuable field resources.
As big and broad as the Internet is, there are still resources that need to be written. So many Christian resources are just lists of Bible verses (helpful but obtainable from any standard computer software or a thousand other websites). What we are looking for is the human touch; the testimony, the proven process, the 'it worked for me it can work for you' inspiration of personal experience.
We are seeking not to duplicate these effort but to link to the better more practical efforts and then create our own where theirs is lacking; to find what works and then share it regardless of who is hosting it.
For that, we need your help.
Field Wise
You know what has been helpful to you. You know what would be useful for the people you are attempting to reach out to. Instead of some far distant soap box preacher or some book publisher or reseller, we are looking to point our audience to your "life lived" tried and true resources.
Many of the links here will remain empty until you pour your living experiences into them. You are invited to comfort others as you yourself have been comforted. You are invited to contribute to our communal efforts.
- Ways to contribute:
- Tags - bookmark your most useful/beneficial findings on our site's tag index. (see home:UserContribution and home:UserTags for details). Think quality of link not quantities.
- Create Content - author practical first hand accounts and "life lived" content that fill the need of readers. (see home:UserContribution and home:PbiblxCreateWikiContent for details).
- Comment - Content authors and editors can provide comment links as appropriate for others to discuss vital points being made. Share your experience. (see home:UserContribution for details).
There is no real teacher or moderator here other than God's word and His Holy Spirit, we are all traveling down the same pathway of daily investigation and daily application. We each learn from stepping outside of our comfort zones, our study and prayer closets, putting into practice the concepts we're considering for the benefit of others. Putting it all out on line some would say!

Let's see those open bike trailers
Looking for the best ideas here. So please show what you do and how you do it.
You know the kind. They are not enclosed. The bikes are on rails or in shoes on a platform or bed and so forth. I want to see how you guys mount stuff like gas cans, canopies, gear, ice chests, tool boxes, spares and so forth.
If you trailer your bikes and all your gear for a day or three of riding then that's what I think will be useful. Even you Harbor Freighters!
I'm all
I looked but didn't see this exact thread anywhere.
Here's why I ask. A couple of decades ago I converted my Longrun Standup Jetski trailer to a dirt bike trailer. And I have used it up. The time is past for it to be disassembled, blasted and powerdercoated, reassembled [it has seen some real abuse so I am removing all the dirt bike stuff and using it for jetskis again (750 X-2 and a Superjet)]. That leaves me without a dirt bike trailer for short trips. So I found another standup jetski trailer to convert. Why Standup Jetski trailers? The track is about the same as a car so taking them far offroad is usually easy-especially on deeper jeep trails-handy here in our So Cal deserts when towed behind 4WDs. There is zero demand for them so they are cheap. They are usually stouter and longer than dirt bike trailers for some reason. Zieman is a local steel builder here in So Cal who has made some great HD trailers over the decades. Many, like the one I just bought, are over-engineered from, I assume, left over steel from more HD applications. My original conversion was because I was fresh out of college and I had to make do with what I had: a Honda Civic, a Kawi 750 X-2, a KDX200, my wife's RM80, and a Longrun Standup Jetski trailer. Now I intend to use this Zieman as an inbetween for trips I go on but my wife and kids do not and I will be towing it with my wife's 4Runner. Bigger trips with everyone and all the bikes require the dually. Did I mention the standup jetski trailers are zero-demand cheap?
Currently I am making a list of what I want the trailer to carry and then will add some bracing, bit larger offroad tires/wheels, add some lights, and map out how to arrange it on a aluminum deck I will fab up (err, pay someone else to) and install. Here are some photos of my new trailer or here's what a couple hundred dollars buys. Very little rust, tires good, Bearing Buddies, nice spare in the lock box, and this thing is built 2x as good (much better axle too) as my Longrun and must be 2x as heavy too. Tracks arow straight too. Longish tongue makes for easier offroad and backing.

A bit big but it works great.
This is a fully galvanized commercial trailer I use for hauling large lawn tractors and the like. The box on the front of the trailer is usually full of gardening and turf management equipment. As this box locks it great for chucking all the bike gear, tools, spares and extra fuel/oil in there when going on long trips. I've only ever hauled the bikes long distance once but the trailer gets used heaps on the weekend for the trail bikes. It's low deck allows a bike to get pushed on quite easily and there are plenty of tie down points around the rails. I even mounted a couple of loop bolts in the floor of the deck to assist with securing the bikes. The trailer can carry three bikes, no problem.

My trailer is nothing special, but you asked about packing gear as well, so here goes:
I've been using a 101" x 10' snowmobile trailer to haul bikes for years now. Snowmobile trailers have some specific pros and cons (I can elaborate if you'd like), but they definately offer deck space. They're also among the lightest trailers available for their size; I think this one is around 450lbs empty.
Four or five bikes is the norm for riding trips (usually three of us traveling together):
It looks like a hodge-podge packing job, and it sort of is, but in reality each thing you see on the trailer has a semi-specific position that has been refined over years of trips. It's usually the same two or three of us going on these trips, and things have become so habitual that we load up surprisingly quick without much need to talk to one another much at all anymore. Well, I guess usually the placement of the last couple of tie-down straps does tend to get over-discussed.
Probably the most specific postioning visible in the photos is the fuel jugs. One of the main reasons those are in the rear is so that any spills or leaks don't get into the other gear. Also, having them all lined up at the back like that simplifies fill-ups at the gas station. We usually try to haul them empty most of the way to our destination, stopping to fill them at the last gas station that offers non-oxygenated gas from a dedicated hose.
Hauling the jugs empty also allows them to be filled and used as balast along the way, repositioning them if necessary. On one trip years ago, we picked up an additional guy and his machine & gear along the way, and struggled to get things loaded with enough tongue weight to make the trailer tow worth a shit. Filling all of the gas jugs we had and strapping them as far forward as possible helped.
We've also had too much tongue weight when my buddy "tops off" the ice in that huge cooler of his pictured on the tongue. Filling the fuel jugs on the rear somewhat helped in that instance as well (not ideal, but better than nothing). The fuel jugs pictured hold 16 gallons, which works out to just over 100 lbs. The water jug is another 50 lbs, but that's usually filled at home (for water quality/taste reasons).
One other thing that I usually put on the back of the trailer that isn't pictured here is an empty (or mostly empty) plastic tote. I prefer to buy most of my groceries en route, prefferably as close to our destination as possible. We've found this to be the overall quickest way for 3+ guys to coordinate and split food for the trip, and it's one less thing to deal with packing at home (our wives get annoyed with any advance preprations, so avoiding a grocery run a night or two before departure helps keep the peace at home--YMMV).
Also, and perhaps more importantly, I like to buy my groceries at the closest well-stocked grocery store to our destination. It's an "ambassador of the sport" thing for me, not only spending money in the towns near where we camp and ride, but most importantly you're towing bikes into their town and it's flat obvious that you're spending money in their town. We tend to be overly polite while in town, trying to make the best impression possible. Also, we do any shopping for adult beverages in our hometowns before we depart, again to keep up appearances and represent the sport in a positive way.
I've gotten off track here, but my point was simply that the empty tote at the back of the trailer makes it easy to load the groceries right into something without having to partially repack a bunch of stuff just to find a place for it. It also keeps things like bread, buns, and chips from getting smashed.
Looking closely, you may or may not be able to see cots, a canopy, plastic totes, a loading ramp made from an 8' 2"x12" (with a long strip of coarse sandpaper glued to it), a rake etc. It's pretty easy to slide most of that stuff around when loading/unloading bikes, and things like totes and coolers usually never come off that trailer for the whole trip. Once at camp, fuel cans get moved to the shade underneath the trailer.
Of what you can see that I wouldn't recommend, definately not the green Rubbermaid tote in the center photo. We've since been upgrading our totes to more robust water & wind resistant types with latching lids. The big gray one in the top photo is my buddy's. It's lid latches very securely and stuff inside stays dry, but two totes half that size are easier to deal with.
Also, don't haul the grill on the roof like that. It gets full of bugs that later get baked on, and my buddy claims it costs him 1mpg to have it up there. I can't confirm that, but I can confirm that's a huge pain in the ass to get it up and down from there without scratching anything.
Some things I make it a point not to haul on the trailer. Clothing bags, sleeping bags, tents, and other things that need to stay dry (and are easy to stuff into the two vehicle) are obvious, but I also don't haul toolboxes on the trailer anymore. The trailer just doesn't ride as smoothly as the two vehicle, and over time the tools get kind of rough looking from banging together and vibrating along on the trailer. Similar are camp stoves, grills, lanterns, and things like that that don't tolerate rattling and harsh bumps particularly well.
We used to haul with a 20-lb propane cylinder, but that proved to be enough of a pain that we've gone back to the little disposable ones, which are also a pain in different ways.
I breifly mentioned adult beverages above, and that's another thing that factors into our packing system. Two of us that go don't drink beer at all, and it turns out beer is not a very efficient way to pack and transport alcohol. Instead, we usually have a couple bottles of whiskey, brandy, or maybe some rum. That stuff comes in very robust glass bottles, doesn't need to be kept cool, and is usually pretty easy to stuff in somewhere. If we bring soda for mixers, 2L bottles are similarly simple to pack. We've picked on my poor cousin (the third guy who usually goes with us) so much over the years that he hardly dares bring even a 12-pack anymore. If anything, he'll bring just a few bottles of what he claims to be "really good" beer these days, so we figure we're doing him a favour.
Hopefully something in all that is helpful to you. I think back to some of my first riding trips with this trailer (and its predecessor), and it's funny how much of a mess we had. Things now wouldn't look much different to an outside eye, but the little things you learn from doing things wrong over the years really contributes to eventually developing a system that works for you.
I recently bought a Jumping Jack tent trailer, so I'm kind of back at square one with my loading system. I'm very exicited though, as the Jumping Jack will make several things so much easier, and it pulls much nicer than this trailer does. Loading and unloading bikes is proving to be a challenge, though.

I got so into constructing that wall of text above, that I forgot to include a few more photos.
Here's the way we used to do it:
This wasn't a very handy set-up, but it gets the job done.
A couple more from those days:
I often hear people comment that these trailers with the side rails are nice because you can pack stuff in without worrying about it, but I don't find that to be the case. For me, it's better to have each item securely tied down, yet out in the open where you can get to it easily.
One advantage to the side-boards though, is that by packing with a couple of folding saw-horses, you can make a table out of one of them:
However, one of those plastic folding tables takes up the same amount of space as the two saw-horses did. We can't muster this big of group of guys anymore anyway.
This is how things usually end up on the trailer at camp these days:
Kind of a mess, but everything is off the ground and easy to get to. The riding gear will get thrown in the tow vehicle before nightfall or the rain comes (unless of course one guy forgets his stuff out and everyone else makes it a point not to remind him).
Again, not tidy, but effective enough. Here you can see what the 16 gallons of fuel is for; those big-bore 2-strokes are thirsty!

The Kendon is easy to load. I considered a one rail trailer but figured it would be handy to have capacity for two. The extra room has worked out well. The trailer sits lower than a 2wd pickup.

That looks... familiar.
Many millions of Euros worth of investment, 116 patents filed in its development, and more than two million miles worth of road testing conducted, and all you're implying is that it looks generic?
That looks... familiar.
Many millions of Euros worth of investment, 116 patents filed in its development, and more than two million miles worth of road testing conducted, and all you're implying is that it looks generic?
Well, we'll concede that it is partly so, but otherwise we're of the opinion the new 308 doesn't actually look that bad. Handsome. A smart thing, and certainly a huge step on from the old, bug-eyed 308.
Hang on, why is this new one called the 308 too? Surely it should be called the...
309, yes. But Peugeot has already made a 309, back in 1985 (they sold 222,783 in the UK). And anyway, from now on, Peugeot has decreed that All Models Shall End With '08' (with emerging economies getting the '01' nomenclature). It's designed to breed familiarity with a specific model number, and thus, we'll only ever get a new 308. Kind of like a new Golf. VW doesn't call the next one the Golf-ier, does it?
So it's really all-new?
Yes. The 308 sits on an entirely new platform only previously seen in the new Citroen C4 Picasso. It's called the 'EMP2' (efficient modular platform), and because of it, the new 308 is 140kg lighter than the old one. It's also lower, wider, but features a longer wheelbase, so those shorter overhangs mean the car gets a squatter look. The weight saving has even extended to the tailgate, which is made of plastic.
What about engines?
You can have a 1.6-litre diesel with 92bhp or 115bhp, a 1.6-litre petrol with 125bhp or 155bhp, and next year, a series of 1.2-litre three-pot turbo petrols that promise to make light work of the lightweight body. In fact, this new 308, with the 92bhp 1.6-litre diesel, weighs 1,090kg, just a few bags of sugar more than a VW Polo, a car from the class below.
So how does it drive?
Well. The ride is superb, supremely composed, and the interior refinement is top notch. The problem lies in trying to extract any more from the package. Show it a set of sweeping curves and hairpin bends, and the 308 will shrug its Gallic shoulders and grudgingly set off. There's noticeable body roll through the corners, and the steering doesn't communicate as effectively as you'd like. It's a tiny bit vague, and you sadly don't get the info quick enough that you're understeering. This robs you of any desire to go quicker. Dial the pace back down though, and it's a nice cruiser, but it's no Focus. Or Golf.
The 1.6-litre 155bhp petrol is a punchy little thing, though the 125bhp one seems to struggle a tad, as does the lower powered diesel. The 115bhp diesel is actually really refined, but again, needs a gentle thrashing before it accelerates anywhere with urgency. Be interesting to try the three-pots, out next year...
And on the inside?
More upmarket than the old 308. There are now literally no buttons on the central dash, all of them instead contained within a 9.7in touchscreen which handles everything: air-con, sat nav, media, etc. At first it proves fiddly and distracting (not ideal when you're driving), but familiarity expedites your inputs. The fit and finish of this area of the dash is lovely, all soft-touch plastics and classy ambience. The area directly underneath is a bit scratchy and hard, and dents the overall feeling of premium Peugeot has tried to capture. The rear legroom isn't great either, but the boot is huge, and overall it's a decent package.
So, should I buy one?
Put it this way, with the Golf, Focus and Astra, this C-Segment is horrendously competitive and fierce. One tiny slip and you're shark food. The level of competence shown by those cars means this 308 has its work cut out. It's a nice drive, but perhaps one for those who put refinement and ride quality over driving dynamics. Prices are expected to start from £14,500 - our 1.6-litre 155bhp petrol test car was approximately £20,000.
