YIELD: Makes 2 large challahs
1. Place the saffron into the cup of hot water and stir to dissolve. Pour into a large bowl. Pour in the honey and whisk until dissolved. Add the yeast and stir again. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and stir to mix everything together. Cover with a clean dish cloth and let sit for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in another bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, place 2 1/2 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt, and margarine. Using a whisk, an electric mixer, or the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, cut the margarine into the dry ingredients until it looks like sand and there are no big clumps of margarine.
3. After the half hour, the yeast mixture should have changed: It will either look thick, have bubbles, or have increased in size. If the mixture has not changed, your yeast may be dead and you should dump that mixture and make a new one with new yeast. Beat 2 of the eggs in a small bowl. Add the eggs to the yeast mixture and mix using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Add the flour and margarine mixture in three parts, mixing well after each addition. With your hands or a dough hook on the stand mixer, knead the dough and add 1/4 cup of the flour. If the dough remains sticky, add another 1/4 cup of flour. Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky and feels soft when you slide your hand across it.
4. Wash the bowl, dry it, and rub the oil round the bowl. Add the dough and rub the top with the oil on your hands. Cover with a dish towel and let rise 1 1/2 hours.
5. Sprinkle the top of the cookie with the remaining teaspoon of sugar. Slide the parchment onto a cookie sheet and bake for 35 to 37 minutes, until the edges start to look golden. Remove from the oven and immediately cut the cookie into 8 or 12 large wedges or about eighteen 1 x 3-inch bars, if you like. If you wait until the cookie cools to cut it, you will not get nice clean edges. 5. Place the dough on a floured surface and punch it down to remove air pockets. Divide the dough into 2 or 3 balls, depending on how many challahs you will bake. Divide each ball into three pieces. Roll the three pieces into strands the same length, shorter for a fatter challah, longer for a long and narrow challah. Braid the strands. *See instructions in "Braiding Challah" below.
6. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Let rise another 1 1/2 hours. Beat the remaining egg and brush the challahs with the egg.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is browned and when you lift the challah and tap on the bottom, it sounds hollow. Remove the challahs to a wire rack to cool.
*Braiding Challah
This braiding method is for making 3-braided challah. To braid the dough, place the three strands in front of you vertically, about 3 inches apart. Gently press the top ends together. Start at one side and pull one outside strand into the center. Take the outside strand from the other side and place that between the other two strands. Go to the other side and pull that strand into the center of the other two. You want to pull the dough a little each time to braid tightly. Keep alternating sides until you reach the bottom. Braid as far down as you can and then press the ends of the strands together, tuck under the loaf, and press tightly.
Turn the loaf around. Undo the strands that you loosely pressed together when you started braiding. Now you will braid underneath: Take the outside strand that looks like it is on top of the other three and pull it under and in between the other two. Take the opposite outside strand and pull it under the other two. Repeat until you can braid no more, press the ends together and tuck underneath, pressing tightly.

John Mayer Feud Alert! Who Did the Singer Get Dissed By This Time?
With his tendency to love' em and leave 'em (and sometimes cause them to write dramatic tell-all songs about him), it's probably safe to say that John Mayer has made quite a few enemies.
This week, however, the soulful singer isn't just enraging long-legged blondes and international supermodels. John seems to be the subject of an extensive Twitter rant from "Wild & Lonesome" rocker Shooter Jennings, in which Shooter goes off on a recent Rolling Stone profile of the singer.
"I love how the 'neil young of our generation' self-naming king douche grows his hair out + buys a place in Montana just to do RS article," he tweeted. "Claims he's 'done w hollywood game' and has 'roots' and then immediately cuts hair, goes back to hollywood clubs + starts banging Katy Perry...And don't anybody say he's a great guitar player. Gary Clark Jr & @lukasnelson wipes their asses with this dude."
Neither John nor Katy have responded to Shooter's rant, but the rocker followed up with an apology before things could get too out of hand.
"Sorry to s**t talk," Shooter added, perhaps after quite a few users called him out for his harsh words. "Lord knows not everybody likes my ass. But seeing that RS in my friggin bathroom & reading the narcissistic drivel..."

THE Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) First Vice-President, Athumani Nyamlani, has been appointed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to help deliver a successful 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals.
Nyamlani is a member of the Appeals Committee of the Africa Cup of Nations and will therefore be in South Africa. The Committee has a total of 12 members. Other members in the committee include Prosper Abega from Cameroon and Pierre-Alain Monguengui from Gabon.
TFF Information Officer, Boniface Wambura said in a statement yesterday that the appointment was made by CAF President, Issa Hayatou and his Executive Committee in which at least 148 individuals were appointed in different committees as the continental football governing body seeks a successful event.
The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals will kick off on January 19 to February 10, with 16 nations including defending champions Zambia fighting for top honours. Recently, South Africa President Jacob Zuma said his government and the people of South Africa are fully prepared and ready to host a successful 2013 AFCON tournament.
The host team was drawn in Group A with Cape Verde, Morocco and Angola. These four teams will be based in Durban. Group B, which will be based in Port Elizabeth, comprises Ghana, DRC, Niger and Mali. The defending champions, Chipolopolo of Zambia are in group C with Ethiopia, Burkina Faso and Nigeria.
These teams will be based in Mbombela, Mpumalanga. The group of death, group D, comprises Ivory Coast, Togo, Algeria and Tunisia. AFCON Local Organising Committee (LOC) chairman, Chief Mwelo Nonkonyane, gave an assurance to CAF, the 16 participating national teams, South Africans and the entire African continent that they would "not let them down".
"We've already been put to the test by FIFA when we held the 2010 FIFA World Cup. We wish to assure the African football (fraternity) that we use football as a tool to uproot our people from the circles of poverty, war and diseases to promote peace in Africa.

Nothing like a good ride to the Big Bend region of Texas to clear the mind and rid oneself of the garbage that collects from life's clutter.
In the past, my trips to the area have been fast and relatively furious, squeezed in between work projects, with the need to see as much as possible. But this time I wanted to enjoy the area with no agenda or schedule and to play with the GoPro and Sony, trying out a few things and experimenting with video a bit.
I planned to camp, shoot some video, a few stills and edit on the laptop to get a feel for the realities of documenting a long future trip both on still and video on the road. Shooting still and doing a ride report isn't difficult, but adding video into the equation was something I wanted to try.
I decided to hit Marfa first, just because I've never spent any time there other than a lunch or gas stop on the way through heading somewhere else. A friend had sent pics of "El Cosmico", the hipster campground located on the edge of town and I decided to give it a try.
With that in mind, I loaded the bike and hit I-10 west to get out there as quickly as possible. If anyone has stumbled across my threads lately, my GS has been suffering poor fuel mileage for a while, and despite my best efforts to resolve it, it still has been getting crap mileage. I-10 west from Kerrville has an 80 mph speed limit and headwinds, so gas mileage drops anyway and this trip I hit several stations along the way to keep topped up.
ThunderPig in it's overloaded glory
I didn't get on the road until noon or so, and by the time I passed Ft. Stockton and took the highway south for Alpine, the sun was slipping fast to the horizon.
Turning west on 90 into the setting light of the sun, I felt the tinges of excitement and freedom that each ride brings.
Approaching Marfa in the face of a beautiful sunset, I was feeling the fatigue of the day's 80 mph buffeting, but the wide open spaces and a beautiful west Texas sky made me feel the peace that freedom brings.
It was nearing dark as I rolled into the El Cosmico campground and luckily the tatted hippie chick in the registration room hadn't closed shop yet. El Cosmico is a funky chic campground, with tent camping areas, teepees, safari tents and 50's era travel trailers, owned by the owner of several funky chic boutique hotels in Austin. Prices are commensurate for a chic spot, but tent camping is $12 which is a plus.
It had been a long day, and I was tired, so I decided to splurge and stay in a safari tent the first night, rather than set up in the dark. Yes, I wussed out.
I was the lone camper that evening
After unpacking I inquired about any places open for a meal and was told that only the restaurant and bar at the old Paisano Hotel were open this particular evening.
I fired up the unladen beast and rumbled into downtown Marfa, parking in the darkness on a side street and finding a table on the patio to avoid the few folks inside. The meal was good, and it felt great to be in another world.
For those unfamiliar with Marfa, Texas, it is an enigma. It is the classic west Texas town, with just enough buildings and businesses to support the local ranchers, but was put on the map as the place near which the film "Giant" was done. Rock Hudson, Liz Taylor and James Dean stayed in the Paisano for a few months while filming.
The New York artist Donald Judd moved there in the 70's and Marfa soon developed somewhat of a mystique for the art intelligentsia and has been a draw for tourists and seekers for quite some time. Amidst the old buildings are small galleries, small and pricey dining establishments and urban style places to stay. Having grown up in Texas, it seems surprising that such a tiny classic Texas town has enough interest to draw any visitors, but I suppose it is the extreme contrast to urban dwellers that makes it seem interesting. But more on that later...
Marfa's other claim to fame is the "Marfa Lights", a series of well established reports of strange orbs of lights and various optical and luminous shenanigans in the vast prairie south of 90 on the east side of town. The state, for safety reasons, finally built an official viewing area to clear the right of ways of cars and midnight gawkers.
I will say I spent several hours freezing my butt off looking for them over the years, and though never having the dramatic encounters others have had, I have seen some distant lights moving very rapidly and doing odd things in general.
More soon amigos!

I awoke early to use the potty, in the hip chic bathroom/shower stalls that have as much privacy as a cattle pen, and frankly look to be one lol. The two bathrooms are separated as loosely, and it could be a peeping perv's heaven (not that I know anything about that btw). But it fits with the laid back stoned hippie feel of the place, and I can easily adapt, ponytail notwithstanding.
It was a bit cool early, as Marfa sits about 5000' in elevation IIRC, and is the recipient of winds coming down from the plains and plateaus further north as well as the Davis Mountains, so I dragged the laptop into the small lobby area and stared bleary-eyed at the wall where I fantasized hot coffee would be waiting. Eventually it did materialize and tasted pretty good.
I popped open the Mac and checked emails, hoping for the chance to rescue a Nigerian prince's millions from an account, so I too can become wealthy, God Bless Me No luck however so I decided to people watch as a few stragglers came in from the 50's trailers looking for java. I lifted my feet for the cleaning lady to mop under them, and watched a nicely dressed Spanish looking man check his email on his Mac, everything about him pristine and perfect, expensive watch, perfect leather organizer and pen, each hair in place, and pondered the yin and yang of the lobby, he and I in perfect contrast, keeping the world from spinning off it's axis.
I walked outside and looked up at the dull, gray, hazy sky, a bit bummed as I was anxious to get out and shoot some pics. One's percentage of good shots on overcast days is slim, especially in a vast flat landscape that screams for contrast and color, so I decided to hang in the lobby.
In short order a young lady came in with her camera and Mac laptop, dressed absolutely as if shopping in Neiman Marcus, perfectly made up, skin tight fashion jeans with top and expensive scarf wrap. Suddenly I was feeling underdressed for a chic hippie campground, as both she and the Spanish guy were quite squeaky clean and spiffy. God knows I'd tried to keep my favorite UnderArmor tshirt in good shape, but it has a furry strip of fabric pulls right down the center of my six pack abs from various zipper catches and lens caps flapping against it. Oh well, I was on vacation.
Bored of leering, I went outside to check the sky again and ended up at an old porcelain Corona table with a British couple, he having a bushy black beard and round Lennon sunglasses. I asked how they'd ended up in Marfa, and they said they'd flown to California to be with the wife's dying mother, and after her passing decided to drive across the U.S. to see the country. They'd rented an SUV, and left California with intense warnings of how dangerous America was. They'd been warned that their car was guaranteed to be broken into, so somewhere along the way they had decided to make color copies of their passports and send the originals back to California for safekeeping by her sister
Needless to say, I felt a bit sorry for them that their journey had been so jaded by fear and bullshit, but I also said that they did need to be a bit cautious near big cities. He continued with the story, and that they'd had good luck until they reached the Border Patrol checkpoint on I-10 near the junction with I-20, where he said the agents treated them as criminals since they only had copies of their passports. After lengthy interrogation they were told they would be allowed to go to Marfa with an escort and had to remain there until their passports arrived.
When they found out I lived near Fredericksburg, they asked about local cuisine and produced a list of restaurants and dives across the U.S. they planned to visit. Turns out they were chefs in England and wanted to sample great or at least different foods on the trip, I suggested they hit Alamo Springs Cafe outside Fburg for a great burger and music, and if possible to hit Cooper's BBQ in Llano, telling them on a good day it was some of the best in the world depending on which cow had died the previous day.
After talking them to death, I headed for downtown Marfa to walk around a bit and hope the skies would clear, hitting the courthouse to climb to the top of the tower where some friends had gotten married, but it was closed that particular day. My amazing charm and looks could not persuade the County Clerk nor the judge standing next to her to allow me to go up.
So I wandered the empty streets, peering into vacant buildings through cloudy windows and reading faded signs, checking the galleries only to find them all closed. As an aside, if you visit Marfa be prepared for almost everything there to generally be closed, opening only at odd hours and random times of the week.
Bored and ready to ride (as you are from reading this), I decided to head south for the Chinati Hot Springs to check out the place where I planned to spend a couple of days camping. I'd heard of it and seen it on the map but in previous trips was never able to take the time to ride out to it.
The cloud cover began to lift into high veils in the sky as I raced south on Ranch Road 2810 through the vast plains of the big ranches on the plateau. I stopped briefly to putz around with my GoPro for a bit of ride capture on the narrow blacktop road.
One thing about the area Marfa is in, is that if you like wide open spaces, you're in heaven. Beautiful open areas with great skies, the occasional windmill or pronghorn antelope and long stretches of open road.
Heading southwest, I eventually reached the end of the blacktop as the road begins to edge off the plateau and down into Pinto Canyon as it heads for the Rio Grande and the border of Mexico. I stopped to take in the view and noticed my custom made filter mount for the GoPro had somehow let loose of the filtration I was using, tossing it somewhere in the last 30 miles. Oh well.
The high hazy clouds had left the landscape somewhat flat in color and the winds with continuous dust created a soft and distant feel to the canyon, as I headed off for Ruidosa and the river road north of Presidio.
Pinto Canyon is a favorite road of mine, and I enjoyed the vistas and terrain, eventually passing the cut off road that heads for Chinati Hot Springs, but decided to go all the way to the border before returning back north to the Hot Springs.
Eventually I rumbled into the entrance to the springs, and parked in front of the adobe style cabins. I was the only vehicle there in the hidden little oasis. I walked around, looking at the campsites and community kitchen, listening to ringing in my ears in the dead silence of the little canyon it resides in.
I eventually wandered up to the main house, to the sound of intense barking from a large dog inside, it's female owner's voice shushing the dog, or at least attempting to. When she opened the door, I told her I was planning on staying in a couple of days, and she said they stayed steadily booked but if I was camping there was no problem this particular week. Good to hear. I told her I'd be back then wandered to the hot spring pools and enjoyed the utter silence.
The sun was slipping low and I figured it was time to start the trek northward for El Cosmico.
Running through the canyon was beautiful, and a ride I always enjoy. I paused at the top and shot a few photos in the setting light, sitting on the edge of a steep hill and looking out at the timeless landscape, puffs of wind whistling in the Spanish Dagger and dry grass.
I fired up the rig, and headed north to the blacktop and the beautiful open land and sky ahead.
The fields on each side became a beautiful gold as the sun skimmed lower, my attention and bike being drawn to the shoulder for photos and just to watch the light change.
Each time I see this lone tree, I wonder if it's the one the Coen Bros used in a scene from "No Country For Old Men" as some of it was filmed in the area
Eventually I crested the large hill before descending to Marfa miles ahead, passing the lone white Yukon and Border Patrol officer stationed at his watching post just over the crest. I waved to him nonchalantly, figuring my bike was probably the most interesting thing he'd seen all day. I also figured at some point he'd stop me out of curiosity and I may as well start the brown-nosing now.
I arrived back at Cosmico, swapped clothes and checked email on the patio, watching as a stylish couple arrived in a rental car and proceeded to unload. The girl, a stunning blonde Brigitte Bardot-esque model type in painted on black clothes, matched her companion, a tall thin man with sunglasses and black hair, he too in skin tight painted on jeans and shirt. As they struggled to put their luggage into the little wagons provided for campers, I heard them arguing in French and wondered if, in fact, they had flown all the way from France to this little berg in west Texas. Paint me blue and call me a Smurf, but I can tell you I'd sure as hell fly to somewhere else in the world if I had enough money to choose.
Somewhat tickled by the idea, I chuckled inside and watched as another rental car pulled in and a thin wiry guy and two girls got out, their clothes also betraying the fact they "warn't from around hyar" either. The threesome proceeded to mumble and unload a tent and backpacks and head for the tent camping area.
I was getting hungry and again asked the hip chick inside where to eat. She repeated the litany from the night before, asking herself what day it was, and then looking at the clock, then telling me I'd missed the one place that had been open that day and for 3 hours that afternoon. Again it seemed the bar at the El Paisano Hotel was the only place open.
I again repeated the same physical litany as the night before, this time eating inside rather than the patio and choosing a corner from which to eat, since I appeared about as attractive as a wet rat after riding all day. My thoughts wandered to the next day, when I hoped to get a bit more serious about shooting a bit of video.

Please tell us more about the hot springs. I passed through there last February but had not made a reservation so we flew on up Pinto Canyon to Marfa. Considering heading back there some day with intentions of staying at the hot springs but I am always a sucka for more information.
Nice story so far. Keep it coming.

There's something really attractive about a proper soft-top in the era of folding metal. It harks back to a time when convertibles, roadsters and cabriolets were more of a rarity and an indulgence; a vastly more emotional purchase, and one that commanded attention and envy.
The A5 Cabriolet is cloth. Might seem a little odd in the light of BMW's success with its very metal 3-Series Convertible, but if an outfit as accomplished as Audi is confident about sticking with fabric roofs - even on comparatively high-end models like the A5 - then there must be good reason. And reason beyond simple economics.
There is. A fabric roof is vastly simpler, making it lighter and less bulky. This in turn means it's quicker to operate, hampers performance less by avoiding excess lard and stows away with less ingress into the boot space.
The A5 Cabriolet does its morphing business in about 15 seconds, and the vital bit of that in considerably less if the heavens open. That's weirdly quick when you see it. The hood is genuinely well insulated too, so when in place you can get close - albeit not quite close enough - to fixed-head levels of refinement.
There isn't a great case for folding metal when the job's done this well in cloth. It looks better and works better. It is better.

British Pasties with Potatoes & Chicken-
- Preheat oven to 220 C.
- Place 55g butter, salt and flour in a large bowl. Rub the butter into the flour and salt mixture with your fingers until incorporated fully.
- Add the water into the bowl and slash it around with a cold knife until the dough comes together. Knead. Add more water if dough is too dry, teaspoon by teaspoon.
- Form the dough into a ball and wrap it with cling film. Chill for half an hour.
- Season the diced chicken with lots of salt and pepper and fry with the rest of the butter. When halfway cooked, add the rest of the vegetables. If the mixture burns, add some water to help cooking. Don't wait for the potatoes to cook fully, they will finish cooking in the oven.
- Season the mixture well. I added a pinch of red pepper and tandoori masala. Take off the heat.
- Flour your kitchen surface. Roll the dough and cut out circles with an overturned bowl or glass of a wide circumference. Place about a tbsp of mixture in the middle of the circle of dough. Bring one edge of the circle to meet the other. Crimp the two edges together with a fork. Repeat till you have no dough left.
- Whisk the egg lightly. Brush the unbaked pasties well with the egg. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
- Garnish with mint or cilantro and serve hot.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Hi all,
At work I have to use WinXP, but all of my development is with open source
tools like cygwin, miktex, etc., so I'm almost happy.
This morning a bad thing happened. Adobe Acrobat wanted to install an
update 7.0.5 on my work computer, and stupidly, I allowed it. It wanted to
reboot to finish the upgrade, and again, I allowed it.
Unfortunately, after the reboot, my system has become flakey. Here are some
1. Some of the shortcuts in the start menu lost their bitmap and have become
the default Windows bitmap of an unregistered file. Clicking on the
shortcut doesn't "do" anything. When I view the properties of the
shortcut, the target type is "This is not a valid shortcut". They have
an empty "target".
Only some of the shortcuts do this. Additionally, I can't delete them.
2. Wierd errors. For example, when I try to install yahoo IM, it errors out
with "Could not load the DLL library C:\WINDOWS\USER32.DLL. The
specified module could not be found." I've verified that this library
exists in C:\windows\system32 but not c:\windows
3. Other strangeness that feels like permissions problems.
The reason why I'm posting to vox-tech is that one of the help desk guys
noted that i have a lot of "illegal software". this is the term he actually
used; i'm not making that up. he was referring to firefox, putty, miktex,
gvim, cygwin, etc. he said i have to uninstall the "illegal and unsupported
software" to "fix the machine".
I've got a better idea. I'm going to try to fix whatever is wrong without
uninstalling my "illegal" software. Hence, the post to vox-tech.
First, everything points to the Acrobat upgrade, since that is the only
thing that occured in between the time the system was good and not good.
But this hardly matters.
Any ideas? Many of the things seem to point towards permissions problems.
The filesystem is NTFS. Is there a notion of permissions and file ownership
on NTFS? If so, if I didn't have access to read a *.lnk file, would
explorer tell me the "link is not valid" like I see in point #1 above?
Many of the problems feel like permissions problems to me. Could some kind
of permission problem conceivably cause problem #2 above?
I don't have the admin password for this computer, but I noticed a utility
on the web that obtains the admin password on XP machines. Actually
*changing* the admin password is out of the question, for obvious reasons.
Any help appreciated. I got a good dressing down for installing Firefox,
and I really do NOT want to call the help desk again.

The Vampire Diaries
Top 15 Damon Snarks from The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 2, "Memorial"
Damon Salvatore is the snark king of Mystic Falls. Sure, he mumbles and has a tendency to smirk. But oh — the things that come out of his mouth. So what witticisms did prime time's finest bloodsucker drop this week? Here are Damon's best zingers from Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 2, "Memorial."
15. A little disagreement about process
Damon: She's going to go off the rails eventually anyway, Stefan. So the faster we can make that happen, the sooner we can get her back on track.
14. If it walks like a duck…
Damon, to Elena: Am I wearing my "I-blew-up-the-town-council" T-shirt? Why does everybody keep asking me that?
13. Narcissism at its finest
Damon, to Sheriff Forbes: Well, don't look at me like that I always take credit for killing people.
12. Unleash the beast
Elena: You're still not on board with the animal plan?
Damon: Nope. I say rip off the proverbial band-aid, and let it bleed. You're a vampire. Be a vampire.
11. It's called venison
Damon, to Stefan: You'd better hope she's not a fan of Bambi
10. Extreme diets never work
Damon, to Stefan: You name me one vampire who went on the bunny diet and didn't kill dozens.
9. She has to crawl before she walks
Damon, to Stefan: She can't learn to control the bloodlust if she's never actually experienced the bloodlust. It's a cheat. It's like giving a kid a calculator before they know match.
8. The logic is unquestionable
Damon, to Sheriff Forbes: If I was going to kill a bunch of people, I wouldn't blow them up. I'd have a dinner party.
7. Frenemies are the worst
Liz, about the council members: They were my friends.
Damon: Well, your friends tried to kill your daughter.
6. No way Elena didn't know that
Damon: Just don't tell Stefan
Elena: Why not?
Damon: Because... blood-sharing is kind of personal.
5. That's some welcome party
Damon: So what brings you to Mystic Falls? Bible salesman?
Connor: No actually I'm in environmental clean-up. I heard you had a bit of a pollution problem.
4. The truth hurts
Damon: Your four-legged protein shake was a bust. The juice box is a no go. She can't even keep my blood down.
Stefan: She drank from you?
Damon: Oops. Did I say that out loud.
3. Them's fightin' words
Damon: You have 10 seconds before I go old fashioned on the guy.
2. Know thyself
Damon: Japanese lanterns are a symbol of letting go of the past. Well, here's a news flash: We're not Japanese.
1. Soliloquy of the week
Damon, to Alaric's grave: What difference does it make? In the end, when you lose somebody, every candle, every prayer is not going to make up for the fact that the only thing that you have left is a hole in your life where that somebody that you cared about used to be. And a rock with a birthdate carved into it that I'm pretty sure is wrong. So, thanks friend. Thanks for leaving me here to babysit.

Another episode of intense heat on the horizon?
Don't breathe too much of a sigh of relief now that temperatures have returned back to average…the next wave of intense heat looks to return next week to the nation's capital.
The sprawling high pressure ridge that baked the Mid-Atlantic in a two week period from late June to early July has shifted to the Southwest U.S. This has allowed the jet stream to dip south and bring a touch of cooler, Canadian air with temperatures near average and dew points in the tolerable range.
Residents in the Southwest haven't been so lucky. Death Valley, Calif., cooked at 128 degrees on Wednesday but that wasn't a daily high temperature record (the record was 129 degrees for Wednesday). Keep in mind Death Valley has the record for the hottest temperature in the U.S. of 134 degrees! Ontario, Calif., hit 103 degrees Tuesday, shattering the former record of 99 degrees. Meanwhile, the thermometer hit 121 degrees at a WeatherBug station in Newberry Springs, Calif., on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, back here in the Mid-Atlantic, Reagan National Airport was almost dead on with average temperatures Wednesday. The high was 89 degrees (which is exactly average for mid-July) and the low was 73 degrees (two degrees above the average).
Going through the remainder of the work week, the front that zapped the record-breaking heat wave Sunday will slowly lift north as a warm front. By early next week, the high pressure ridge in the West will slide east into the Mississippi and Tennessee valleys as a trough, or dip in the jet stream, comes into the Northwest. What this shakes down to is a pattern shift with the heat ridge being "bumped" back into the East.
Much of the balance of next week will likely bring temperatures back into at least the middle 90s and possible the triple-digit range again in the nation's capital. Just like the early July heat wave, record highs could be challenged across large stretches of the Central and Southeast U.S. Keep in mind we are in the midst of the warmest time of the year. The average temperature drops from its peak now of 89 degrees back to 88 degrees on July 23rd and continues to drop off until mid-January.
In addition, because the intense heat looks to return during the warmest part of the summer, records may be tough to break. For instance, the record highs Monday through Friday range from 102 degrees to 106 degrees (106 degrees is the hottest temperature recorded at Reagan National). However, with dew points forecast to be in the 70s, heat indices will likely climb back into the danger category.
So far this summer has been a hot one. July has been almost 8 degrees above average while June was 1.1 degrees above average. There have been seven days with record highs so far this summer at Reagan National, with the hottest day being one degree shy of the all-time record high mentioned above, which was 106 degrees.
Stay cool and stay with ABC7 and WTOP for the latest on the forecast!

Breed Circuit question
A friend of mine and I both want to show a QH mare at AQHA shows. However, we read the rules and we are a bit confused. Can we both show the same horse as amatures, or does one of us have to show her open and one amature...or how does that work? My friend is the actual owner of the horse. :lol:
In Amateur, only the owner or relative of the owner can show the horse. Anyone else would have to show in Open. The Open classes are mostly trainers riding so it's stiff competition.
Yes, we are trying to avoid the open classes for that reason. We just want to have some fun and get some points on her (hopefully).
All right so here is another question that popped into my head, what about those people that own a syndicated horse, they each are at least half owner of the horse, can they show that horse amature, or do they have to show open.
Most likely a syndicated horse will be shown by a trainer in the open classes.

Senate committee considers ending full-time release practice
HB 4059 hasn't seen much action since it was first introduced by Rep. Knollenberg (R-Troy) in January 2011 and passed by the House in April, but the bill to prohibit public employers from paying for full-time release union officials will again see the light of day at tomorrow's Senate Reforms, Restructuring and Reinventing Committee meeting.
The bill applies to not only full-time release presidents, but also to other union officers, members and bargaining representatives who would be banned from conducting any union business on time paid for by the school district.
This bill is just another attack on unions and school employees. Self-righteous supporters claim that the current practice is misuse of taxpayer dollars. Only a handful of large school districts have full-time release union officials, so the economic impact is slight. But, again, legislators are blaming school employees and their union for problems they created when they chose to give corporate CEOs $1.8 billion in tax cuts at the expense of education funding.
Contact your Senator. Use these talking points to tell legislators that their time would be better spent creating the jobs Michigan needs instead of continuing to scapegoat school employees.

Have you read the Huffington Post article entitled, "Don't Carpe Diem"? It's been making the rounds on Facebook and parenting circles. Todd and Kent shared their perspectives and asked all of you a simple question.
Do you love parenting? I mean really loving parenting, like you can't do without it. Do you love the good, the bad, the tantrum on Aisle 5? Kent and Todd debate whether or not parents love parenting. People say they do, but are they really just trying not to be judged? If you did say no, would you be considered a bad parent? People respond via Facebook, and the answer surprises Todd.

Hey all,
So, my (sniping, almost never knifing) commando is at lvl 7 atm, and I would love some help.
Just basic suggestions/tips would be great, still not really sure what I am doing.

Playing tf2 taught me a valuable lesson.
It's all about the hats!!!

I suggest Slow sniper because you cant spend many points on piercing shot at low levels.
Elixir helps you to run out of hard situations so you should have at least 1 elixir. Long range pistol + grenade launcher make the sniper setup more effective, then you can handle close range battles easily too. When a knifer tries to attack you, just activate elixir and shoot with pistol and/or grenade launcher. When you reach higher levels you might want to try Fast rifle too, but it needs high piercing shot to be effective. Also put mark target to lvl 1 so you can bust enemy mandos. There are some tips for you, enjoy your commando gameplay! It's a great class. PS. There are lots of helpful threads for snipers in the forums, try search.

Yeah i have some very good advice, use the searhch function and send me many many many battlefounds also you have the option to read what nemesis said but i think 888pk4life2 is right, those hats make a difference

Thank you all. Especially Nemesis.
07-08-2012, 08:26 PM | Post: #7Agoniser
As a sniper, first you do in every game is to run to the back of the map (your teams side) and get the helicopter. Then fly it to the back of the enemy base and get their helicopter. Then they think you are one of them. Then fly around a gun down anything that moves.
When they figure it out, go hunt the moose that spawns every 10 min. Boosts commando-xp like hell.
After killing the moose 2-3 times, you can pick up noob-gunners drake-fire. Its awsome to use as a knifer. Switch between knife and drake is hell'a fun.
When you hit lvl 10, first you do is refresh you ability points, and put atleast 4 points in dancing. Rest you can put in spellcasting if you like. Buy as much tonics as possible and spam them ingame.
If you like and have the money, you can mail EA and get the house in the middle of Riverside Rush. Gives you more fire-power with sniper guns, and you can run in and hide if the heat gets a bit thoug. You can also bake pies for you team-mates there. Giving them life-boost throughout the game.
When you hit lvl 14-15'ish, get the invisible inflatable boat. Its nice to have, cuz most of the maps have water you can hide in. Dont forget to hunt the moose when you lvl up. At lvl 20 you can get a moose pets that follows you around. Its a sign of skills and the enemy will think twice killing you.
You will also at lvl 20 get the suicide belt. Use this if you are surrounded by 3-4 enemy players. Will wipe them out and give YOU 150% xp for 45 sec. after you respawn.
At lvl 25-30, you just hide on rooftops and throw grenades, you will be able to throw 10-15 grenades each time. Usually gives you 5k-9K xp each round.
So good luck playing your mando, and dont forget the moose, its epic.

Nice story Agoniser but i think you missed the point of this thread.
Have a nice time sniping those enemies Gunnrrrrrr!

Silver Spring K9Read MoreJonathan Bohbot was raised by a dog?or at least he likes to tell people that. The owner of Silver Spring K9, he says that his parents' german shepherd was partially responsible for his upbringing. His early rapport with the canine species helped him blossom into a true dog lover. Today, he's a certified dog trainer, and he guides his clients and their pups in learning basic behavior skills, as well as reversing bad behaviors, such as overt aggression and raiding the fridge for chocolate.3214 Paul DriveSilver Spring, MD US
Little Rascals Doggie Day CareRead MoreEven after dropping their dogs off at LIttle Rascals, owners are never truly separated from their pups?they can always check in on them through a live webcam feed. That's just one of the amenities that elevate the grooming, boarding, and day care center to feeling more like a dog resort. While at the facility, dogs play with a range of toys that include balls, tug-of-war ropes, and Frisbees. Pups who stay overnight snooze in a choice of quarters that range from a simple crate or kennel to a cageless option or a private luxury suite complete with a child-size human bed. When it comes to keeping pets looking good, the grooming technicians at Little Rascals transform dog fur into chic, clean coats with their washes and deshedding services. A slew of training classes also teach pups fundamental skills for living in the human world, such as how to fetch a newspaper without swallowing a single bite of it. Even cats have a place here, with grooming services created just for them.601 S Stonestreet Ave.Rockville, MD US
Montgomery Animal HospitalRead MoreMontgomery Animal Hospital's veterinarian, Dr. Jaffe, permanently links pets to their owners with a simple microchip-insertion procedure. Widely used by shelters and humane societies, the system swiftly locates runaway pets that have fled homes in search of buried bones or casting calls. During each application, Dr. Jaffe quickly and painlessly implants a grain-size microchip between the shoulder blades of a cat or a dog. The implant lasts a lifetime and, similar to a routine vaccination, requires no anesthetic.12200 Rockville PikeRockville, MD US
Zoom Room RockvilleRead MoreZoom Room?s dog training facilities have one cardinal rule: owners must be present during class. This is because humans need just as much training as their canine companions when building confidence and communication, and it?s important that owners learn the best positive-reinforcement techniques from the knowledgeable staff. Group classes cover topics ranging from general obedience and agility training to more specific needs such as overcoming shyness. Other classes include Urban Herding, where dogs herd exercise balls into soccer goals indoors, Scent Work, where dogs learn to sniff out missing car keys or the TV remote, and Pup-lates, which is geared toward overweight or senior dogs, or those recovering from an injury. In fact, improving canine social skills is one of Zoom Room?s missions, as evidenced by the regularly hosted fundraiser events and Doggy Disco parties, which give dogs a chance to meet other dogs and expand away from their inner circle of fire hydrants. This combination of training and fun, in addition to the facility?s selection of solution-oriented training gear, natural dog treats, and functional dog accessories, has garnered an array of local and national press.11771 Rockville PikeRockville, MD US
Royal Pedigree Pet CareRead MoreRoyal Pedigree is a fully bonded and insured professional dog walking and pet sitting company that serves the MD, VA, and DC area. It offers an array of pet services, including dog walks, in-home pet visits and overnight pet sitting, boarding, pet taxi, and other incidental services, that are tailored to fit clients' needs.3504 Turner LaneChevy Chase, MD US
Good Dog DCRead MoreTrainer Michelle Yue started Good Dog DC to coach canines and offer solutions to their behavioral issues. She specializes in aggression and reactivity, but has experience in alleviating dogs' fears and anxieties, too. Michelle boasts a solid stack of certifications and professional memberships, and each year she adds to her arsenal of tools with more educational programs.4401-A Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 294Washington, DC US

The Cavision 4 x 4" Day for Night Filter is a great way to create images simulating dusk or night-time while filming during the day. This filter is valuable since is enables you to shoot during the day instead of paying overtime to a film crew for night work.

Cavision is a Canadian company specializing in quality filters for film, broadcast and video productions. They also produce a variety of equipment including 3 x 3" and 4 x 4" matte boxes, boom poles and wide angle attachments for TV cameras.
Note: The Cavision Day for Night filter is available in strengths of 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 & 1.2 with the higher numbers having the greatest effect
- Day for Night is based on the perception that moonlight is cool, therefore bluish in color
- Works best when images are underexposed
- Since you will be able to shoot during the day, your can save significant amounts on your budget since you won't have to sit around all day and pay a crew to shoot at night

Feel your music
The Beats Acoustic Engine gives you an intimate, real encounter with your music. Thanks to Beats' signature DSP software delivers the exact emotional experience that Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine and some of the music industry's greatest rock, hip-hop, pop, electronic and R&B producers want you to feel.
Put the world on mute
Silence the noise from your daily commute or the drama from your loud neighbours with Beats' no-compromise dual-mode Adaptive Noise Cancelling (ANC). When you're listening to music, ANC automatically strikes a balance between your audio and the world outside. And if you want to use the headphone just to cancel external noise, ANC-only mode automatically increases the level of noise cancellation to make things even quieter.
What batteries?
The built-in rechargeable battery lasts 12 hours when using wirelessly and 20 hours when you do decide to plug in — so you can be sure your vibe keeps going. With the Battery Fuel Gauge you can see at a glance how much juice is available. Plus, you can charge the new Studio via standard micro USB adapter almost anywhere.
Lighter, stronger and more comfortable
When Beats re-imagined these legendary headphones, they designed it like a beautiful sports car and made disciplined choices. They streamlined the new Beats Studio with fast curves, smooth surfaces and no visible screws. It now weighs less than the original and has a lighter, stronger and more comfortable headband. The ear cups are softer and there's an ergonomic bellow to create a flexible, custom fit for every head shape, so you can keep your music all to yourself.

New Beats Wireless Headphones
I use to own a pair of the first wireless beats and they used to cut out occasionally. I don't think it was using my iPhone as it I use to own a pair of the first wireless beats and they used to cut out occasionally. I don't think it was using my iPhone as it did it with others so i took them back. I thought i'd give these a go, and can honestly say i am very impressed. The wireless function is 10/10, hasn't cut off once and very light and comfy. All the reviews on these say they are better than the initial Studio range and they are right. Nice and light and definitely the best in Matte Black, that way they dont stand out too much and sound great, and i've used them for quite a few hours now and still have 5 lights.
Very impressed - a bit pricey but i was looking at the Bose QC15 but these are better and no wires, and but you can plug the wire in if you like as well, so best of both worlds in my opinion. Plus with Apple if you don't like them you can get a refund in 14 days, so nothing too lose. Recommended. …

If Your That Guy Who's Always Reaching To Crank Up The Volume Whilst Listening To Music Through Headphones/Earphones (Like I Am) Only To Find That The Volumes Already Maxed Out, Give These Beats A Blast & Get Lost In The Music You Love!
Like I Said Before, I'm Using Them Wirelessly & I Use Them One Notch Away From Being Maxed Out. This Is An Indication As To How Powerful These Things Are; During This Review I Had To Turn Down The Volume Because I Just Couldn't Handle The Intensity Of The Rich Sounds Being Drilled Into My Skull (Curtesy Of Drakes Latest Album - Nothing Was The Same) Whilst Trying To Scribble My Thoughts Down.
Anyway, If Your Hardcore Enough To Max These BayBoys Out Then I Can Confirm That The Clarity Remains Pure, Distortion Nil & The Bass Just Amplifies : Physically Pounding Away At Your Ears. If Thats Not Feeling The Music Then I Just Don't Know What Is.
I Haven't Had Chance To Test Out The Battery Life Yet But The Manufacturer Boldly Claims That They'll Last 12 Hours Wirelessly & 20 Hours Connected Which If True Is Seriously Impressive. (I've been Listening To My Beats For About 3 Hours Now & I've Still Got 4/5 Lights On The Battery Indicator).
I'm Dragging On So Let's Wrap This Up:
The Only Downside To These Headphones In My Opinion/Circumstance Is That They Are Slightly Bulky But Then Again I've Got A Skin Head So Maybe A Little Hair On My Head Or A Cap Would Change My Opinion.
Finally, I Rate These Beats Better Than Any Other Headphones That I've Ever Owned, Both Wired & Wireless & That's Not A Small List To Climb. The Most Expensive Competitor That I Own Being Atomic Floyd. …

Bard College at Simon's Rock Responds to Economic Downturn
GREAT BARRINGTON, MA—"Over the years we have built a beautiful physical campus and an exceptionally strong academic core," the Provost of Bard College at Simon's Rock said on Tuesday, "and now, in this volatile economic climate, it is time to protect that legacy." Mary Marcy is among the scores of college leaders revising budgets and crafting a fiscal vision, which adjusts to the downward economic climate while protecting the academic core. Budget revisions, discussed throughout the fall at Simon's Rock and formally announced on Tuesday, are two-fold. They identify the college's financial priorities, as well as where it will cut back.
"So often in difficult economic times we hear about what colleges won't fund," Marcy says. "But this is a time to not only talk about creative responses to the economy, but to identify and affirm what we value and what we will protect." For Simon's Rock, affirming its unique early college mission through the academic core, securing the success of recent initiatives, and protecting jobs are the priorities.
Safeguarding the Mission and Academic Core
At the center of the Simon's Rock ethos is the college's personalized instruction and low student-to-faculty ratio. The college is in the midst of four new faculty searches, as a response to strong admissions in the past few years and in support of specific initiatives. These searches are continuing, and the college will adjust hiring plans as enrollment numbers become more definitive.
In addition, it will look to maintain and further strong diversity gains seen these last few years. Rare among the nation's small liberal arts campuses is the ability to attract and retain a highly diverse faculty and student body; protecting this unique success is a priority. To do this, Marcy says that the college is committed to fully supporting financial aid and new offices like the Win Resource Commons, which provides students with additional academic support ranging from professional tutoring, to transfer and career placement, to diversity education.
Protecting People, Protecting Jobs
In the past few years, enrollment and retention rates at Bard College at Simon's Rock have surged. Outreach, financial aid, as well as signature programs and partnerships have helped the college realize its admission goals. Safeguarding these gains and maintaining healthy retention rates, Marcy says, is a clear priority.
Bard College at Simon's Rock is allocating additional financial aid resources to help students and families respond to unanticipated need. "Protecting students is our main concern." Marcy assures, "We're going to help them get here and stay here."
The college will also make prudent hiring and personnel decisions, including a hold on new non-faculty hires, in order to protect current employees."Ensuring the health and well being of our community includes supporting the faculty and staff who have helped build the college to what it is today."
In order to secure these priorities and respond to the changing economic climate, Simon's Rock has announced a number of budget revisions for the current academic year. They include:
- No new construction. Prior to the shifting economic landscape, the college planned to build a new residence on its upper campus. Now, it will relieve its residential space crunch with a temporary dormitory. The modular is expected to house 40-45 students and a Residence Director.
- Pausing renovations. Student houses Crosby and Dolliver, which were scheduled to see facelifts similar to those implemented at Kendrick House last summer, are now on hold. However, Marcy notes that the energy savings alone may justify pursuing these projects in the future. To establish baseline numbers and data, the college will install meters to monitor energy use in the Kendrick House and compare that to numbers sourced from meters installed on older buildings.
- Non-essential employee hiring freeze. Positions that are not directly related to supporting the academic core or mission of the college will be frozen. The college will also determine, on a case -by-case basis, what positions will be absorbed if employees leave or retire.
- Dialing down the heat. Simon's Rock will turn down heat in all of its buildings by two degrees. In a move that will save money and energy, Marcy predicts that students, staff and faculty will have no qualms putting on an extra layer if they get a little chilly.
- New equipment purchases subject to approval. New equipment purchases will be subject to the approval of the senior leadership at the college.
"These are actions which will help us manage the budget while protecting our mission, our initiatives, and our community," Marcy explains. "I have implicit faith in the power of our mission. These decisions put the college in a position to work through this difficult economic time."

More speed requires more protection.
We're seeing helmets, particularly mountain biking helmets, get a lot longer in the rear over the past few years, and Giro's Feature Helmet is no exception. And, while we're inclined to talk about Barry Melrose's hair now, it can only be considered a good thing to have your everyday helmet cover more of your head as you're cruising through the trees.
All that extra protection isn't going to do much good if you can't wait to take it off. To that end, Giro included 12 humongous vents to move air in, through, and out of the helmet so your head stays cool, even on low-speed climbs. Additionally, the helmet can be made to fit just right via the In Form one-handed fit adjustment system, which uses a dial at the back to get the tension just right.
- Extra coverage compared to regular helmets
- Twelve large vents
- In Form one-handed fit system
- Adjustable visor

What do you think of the
Giro Feature Helmet
? Share a...
Nice, but too round.
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I got one for my son and he liked it, so I ordered myself one. Well... I've got a really narrow head, and this thing is REALLY round. It's either going to need a lot of extra pads on the sides (which it doesn't come with) or I will return it (which is a breeze with Backcountry).
Reid Pitman
Dual purpose
My favorite splitboard mountaineering helmet!
Looks great, BUT...
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I read and re-read all the reviews from backcountry, MTBR, Pinkbike, Dirt, Amazon...Everything about it, fits what I wanted. I really wanted to use this lid.
I measure right at 56mm, which according to Giro, stats I am Medium. I ordered one up and tracked it all the way to my doorstep. I was so stoked to open it up and get riding! To my dismay, it felt a bit loose no matter how much I tinkered with it. I knew without a doubt that would not cut it out on a trail.
backcountry was awesome in getting the thing sent back and thus, I ordered a Small.
Again, I could not wait to get it out and ride!
Nevertheless...the Small sat way to high on my head and I felt to much pressure on my temples. So, I had to send this one back too.
Bummer for me, I really wanted to use this helmet. Hope the Troy Lee A-1 fits better. I had to give it 3 stars based just on the fitment. I'm sure I could have made the Medium work, but I did not want to chance it with my brain inside.
Jac Cummings
Nice Helmet but...
This helmet is a great value for the quality of the product. I have 2 riding partners that have the same helmet and really like it. The problem I had was my head shape is oval and it really was uncomfortable on my forehead. It was painful to wear after a short period. My friends have no problem with its comfort so I just think it's the shape of my head. Perhaps better suited to a more round melon.
Great purchase
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
We ordered the S for our 12 yr old son and he loves it - the fit and the look. The red is really cool and he is very happy with this helmet.
Great fit for kids
I got a small for each of my kids and it fits each of them perfectly. The fit system on the small has a wide size range and adjusts enough to fit my 4, 6 and 8 year old.
Marc DiVall
Great Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For the price, this is a great mountain bike helmet. I initially got it as a short term replacement for a cracked helmet and I ended up using it much longer than anticipated. It fits well, covers the back of the head well, and is pretty light weight. Highly recommended.
Very comfortable, good looking helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased a new helmet because my old one kept slipping forward no matter how much I tightened it. I've only been able to use this new one on a couple of rides, but so far so good. It is very comfortable and does not slip down to block my vision. They white helmet has a red chin strap, which is good looking (and will probably stay cleaner that a white one). I have long hair and, as with any helmet I've used so far, my hair gets stuck against the pads inside, which is annoying when I remove the helmet but unavoidable I assume. Otherwise, no complaints!
Ethan P Fischer
Great Fit, Great Profile
Sick of bike helmets that feel perched and make your head look like a mushroom? Well this has a much sleeker profile and great protection for the back of the head. It does look more like a snow sports helmet, but that works just fine for me.
Reid Pitman
Helmet pulls double duty
I don't fit into typical climbing helmets.
Great Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really like the feature helmet. I took a good crash on one and replaced it for another. I also think it is one of the better looking helmets available, but not the best venting.
Backcountry Video
Giro Feature Helmet
Great helmet ... BUT
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is helmet is light weight, fits real well and is very comfortable. BUT - the chin strap buckle is so weak that when I yawned it popped open. I find it takes very little force to open the buckle. I am afraid that if I go down, the slightest amount of force will pop the buckle and then my head. If that buckle was not so weak, I'd give it a five.
Fantastic trail helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I arrived at this helmet after toasting a POC and being short on cash...I thought this was more value-oriented, but I was very impressed. Overall it feel lighter on your head, and less bulky, while offering the same or similar coverage, especially on the back of your head. I have always thought Giro had great fit, and that hasn't changed. The strap setup is very light and simple, with no adjustabilty other than length...which is ideal, as it sits closer and more comfortably around your ears. Ventilation is surprisingly good despite the smaller vents. Moto-style adjustable visor is a clutch feature too.
Chris Huntley
Great Value All Mountain Lid
the feature provides the same great coverage as helmets that cost twice as much. it looks good, easily and securely adjusts, and has a good sized visor that i really appreaciate on sunset rides. while i haven't tried on POC's or Bell's offerings, i am reasonably sure that this helmet doesn't vent as well as others, i usually strap it to my bag on long climbs, then wear it on the way down. on cross country rides, my head gets toasty. the helmet has a couple issue which i have included pictures of below. in general, i think it's a good helmet that provides great coverage. for more money, you can get better ventilation and improved safety features, but on a budget, this is a great choice.
Chris Huntley
Chin Strap
the chin strap is not doubled back and stitched. as a result, the strap sometimes works out of the rubber holder. when that happens, the chin strap is able to loosen some.
Chris Huntley
all the padding is removable so it can be washed. unfortunately, the padding towards the front has part of the fit system going through it. i haven't figured out how to get it out without cutting it or messing with the fit system...
Chris Huntley
so i finally just pulled hard on the fit system and it popped out. it still seems to work great so i guess that how it's done.

Great Trail Helmet!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Head size 58m or Medium. Objectively, I've had 2 other comparisons, and without naming brands I found one with too big a shell (you look like a mushroom) and another in combi sizes (eg: S/M, M/L, etc) not a right fit - it was either too tight or there too much room. The GIRO Feature got the sizing for me dead-on and with a slim side profile to boot. For those worried about protection, coverage is good on the sides (as with any other lid) with an extended rear coverage (has an adjustable dial), so putting on goggles for mucky days is not a problem. One gripe is that the contact with low branches at speed leaves behind small white scratches (I'm using a black Feature). But positively, it's a reason to stick on the decals to jazz up the Feature. Comfy for an all-day trail ride, without any headache-related squeeze. Love the moto-style peak too.
