This invention relates in general to WEB servers, and more particularly, to personal WEB servers that provide Internet access to content generated through third party specification.
The role of the mobile terminal in today's communications networks is rapidly becoming more and more integrated with the Internet model, as the mobile terminal adapts to user's demands for added functionality. The mobile terminal, for example, has evolved from a simple device offering voice only capability to a device fully capable of browsing the Internet and providing rich content communication to include voice, data, imaging, video, etc.
Many communication methods with mobile terminals currently require active user intervention. Specifically, today's mobile terminals essentially allow contact with the user of the mobile terminals through the use of voice or data calls, or through the use of various messaging technologies such as the Short Messaging Service (SMS) and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), each of which substantially requiring attention that is directly controlled and monitored by the user of the mobile terminal.
Generally speaking, user intervention is also required in order to obtain content from a personal communication terminal that may be of interest to other users operating within the network. In many cases, the problem is not that the user of the mobile terminal is unwilling to share content contained within the mobile terminal. The problem is, rather, that the user simply may not possess the knowledge that is necessary to make the content available. Such content may, nevertheless, be extremely useful to other users, if only they had access to it.
There exists, for example, a plethora of content contained within personal terminals that, to an increasing extent, could be made available to other users. For example, prior art mobile terminals having imaging capability, may have the ability to capture images that may be shared with others in the network. Additionally, prior art mobile terminals having proximity connection capability, such as through a Bluetooth or Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) connection, may access content that is contained within devices that are in proximity to the mobile terminal and may likewise share that content with others in the network. Conventional personal terminals, however, require the content to be manually provided to each and every user in the network that may be interested.
Accordingly, there is a need in the communications industry for a system and method that allows automated access to content, contained locally within a personal terminal, that is facilitated through a third party specification.
To overcome limitations in the prior art, and to overcome other limitations that will become apparent upon reading and understanding the present specification, the present invention discloses a system and method for making content generated on personal terminals available through third party specification.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a WEB server configuration system comprises a plurality of configuration entities interconnected via a network to provide configuration scripts and a mobile terminal coupled to the network that is adapted to receive a configuration script from the plurality of configuration entities. The mobile terminal is configured as a WEB server in response to executing one of the configuration scripts. The WEB server configuration system further comprises a browsing entity coupled to the network that is adapted to receive content from the mobile terminal. The content becomes visible to the browsing entity in response to the execution of the configuration script.
In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, a mobile terminal is capable of being wirelessly coupled to a network which includes a configuration element capable of uploading configuration scripts to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal comprises a network interface capable of being coupled to receive the configuration scripts and is adapted to store the configuration scripts for subsequent execution. The mobile terminal further comprises a WEB server module that is coupled to access the configuration scripts and is adapted to execute the configuration scripts in response to an authorization signal. The mobile terminal further comprises a content storage container coupled to the WEB server module and is adapted to deliver content to the network in response to the authorization signal.
In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, a computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which are executable by a mobile terminal for facilitating local content transfer to network elements. The instructions perform steps comprising receiving scripts from a configuration entity of a network, executing the scripts to make the local content visible to the network, and granting access to the configuration entity to receive the local content from the mobile terminal in response to executing the scripts.
In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, a method of configuring a mobile terminal as a WEB server in a network comprises receiving configuration scripts from a configuration entity of the network, approving the configuration scripts for execution, and authorizing network access to local content contained within the mobile terminal in response to executing the configuration scripts.
These and various other advantages and features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with greater particularity in the claims annexed hereto and form a part hereof. However, for a better understanding of the invention, its advantages, and the objects obtained by its use, reference should be made to the drawings which form a further part hereof, and to accompanying descriptive matter, in which there are illustrated and described specific examples of a system, apparatus, and method in accordance with the invention.
The invention is described in connection with the embodiments illustrated in the following diagrams.
In the following description of the exemplary embodiment, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration various embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized, as structural and operational changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Generally, the present invention is directed to a system and method allowing a personal terminal, e.g., a mobile phone, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), Personal Computer (PC), laptop computer, etc., to function as a personal WEB server. Such functionality is facilitated irregardless of the technical prowess, or interest, of the person using the personal terminal. Should the user of the personal terminal wish to make available to the World Wide Web (WWW) any local, or otherwise proximately coupled content, all the user need do is execute a previously uploaded WEB server script, which allows custom content access by the WWW as directed by the script.
Thus, in accordance with the present invention, the personal WEB server provides a mechanized content consumption model whereby content may be offered by the personal terminal with or without necessarily involving human interaction. Client systems interact with the personal WEB server using a model based on a rich set of metadata, made possible with an interpretable Extensible Markup Language (XML) such as the Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML), or XHTML Mobile Profile. The transport is typically HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), or alternately, may be based upon the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Accordingly, the personal WEB server is well suited for the ALL-Internet Protocol (IP) architecture for future ALL-IP networks, but may be equally well suited to function within legacy mobile communication systems such as the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), and early Third Generation (3G) systems.
The Web content/services provided by the personal WEB server in accordance with the present invention provides services and content over the Internet and the Mobile domain to service/content consumers. Web services and content may be provided over a session layer, e.g., HTTP, SMTP, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or other similar Internet technology. Web service and content provisioning utilizes certain industry standard software technologies, such as XML, XML Protocol (XMLP), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI). The Web content/services are not specific to any particular personal terminal platform and they are offered in a manner that allows: 1.) discovery of the mobile content/services offered by the personal WEB server; 2.) interpretation of the content/service offerings from a registry of content/services; and 3.) invocation of content/service requests with the appropriate request parameters that facilitates correct response interpretation.
An exemplary system level diagram of ALL-IP system 100 architecture in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in
Mobile terminals 108 may represent any number of communication devices, such as cellular telephone 114, PDA 116, notebook or laptop computer 118, or any other type of wireless terminal represented by device 120. 3G Radio Access Network (RAN) 132 represents a combination of all mobile radio standards, such as GSM/Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA). Each mobile radio standard having its own distinct network architectures and transport mechanisms that are fully integrated using the IP protocol, where Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) 130 and Gateway GPRS Support Node 140 provides the RAN interface to ALL-IP core 112.
Network 144 may provide WLAN, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), and cable access to ALL-IP core 112 by Remote Access Server (RAS) 142. RAS 142 may include, for example, a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) or a cable head end controller. To provide access to ALL-IP core 112 over a cable network, a head-end controller device (not shown) within RAS 142 connects to an IP router (not shown) that sends and receives the data from ALL-IP core 112. The controller interprets the data it receives from individual customers and keeps track of the services offered to each of them. The controller also modulates the data received from ALL-IP core 112 so that the head-end equipment can send it to a specific cable subscriber within network 144.
ALL-IP system 100 may support Legacy Cellular system 104 that offers communication support to non ALL-IP terminal 102, for example. Signaling gateway 122 performs all necessary Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) and Mobile Application Part (MAP) signaling conversions as necessary to provide SS7 over IP access from PSTN 124 and MAP over IP access from Legacy Cellular system 104 to ALL-IP core 112. In addition, signaling gateway 122 provides Short Message Service Center (SMSC) support and Multimedia Message Service Center (MMSC) support for any SMS and MMS operations as required by mobile terminal 102.
Internet 138 access from ALL-IP core 112 is provided through Internet gateway 136 to allow accesses defined by Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) address definitions. Home Subscriber Server (HSS) 128 provides ALL-IP core 112 with the many database functions that are required in ALL-IP networks, including for example, Home Location Register (HLR) and Domain Name Server (DNS) operations.
WEB server 106 provides consumer applications and services that are not easily provided within the circuit switched or packet core networks by themselves. Service groups having major relevance in 3G ALL-IP networks include information and entertainment content providers, communication, productivity enhancing services, and business solutions. In particular, WEB server 106 may have scripting capability that allows uploading of executable scripts onto a personal mobile device, such as onto mobile terminal 108 or 102. The upload may take place through IP protocols facilitated by ALL-IP core 112, or conversely, may be uploaded via proximity connection 146, such as may be facilitated through a Bluetooth or InfraRed (IR) connection.
Generally, the present invention contemplates a personal WEB server, e.g., mobile terminal 108, that may be associated with either a proximity or non-proximity link, that allows the uploading of WEB server scripts from a configuration entity, e.g., WEB server 106. Once a script is uploaded to mobile terminal 108, a small icon, or equivalent audible/tactile indication, is presented to the user of mobile terminal 108 to indicate the presence of the newly uploaded script. At the user's discretion, the script may then be executed to activate an HTTP link, or similar IP associated link, which may then be accessed, subject to authentication in some instances, by any Internet browsing entity that may be operating within ALL-IP core 112. As such, mobile terminal 108 acts as a personal WEB server that provides content to requesting entities within ALL-IP core 112, where the content is either locally stored within mobile terminal 108, or otherwise fetched and then provided by mobile terminal 108. Further, the specific manner in which the content is provided is fully specified by the uploaded script, thus allowing the user to be completely removed from the personal WEB server facilitation process.
In one embodiment according to the present invention, an exemplary scripting diagram 200 is presented in
In particular, once mobile terminal 204 has come within an acceptable distance to configuration entity 208 so as to enable Bluetooth link 206, configuration entity 208 may initiate connection 220 with BTH 212, such that configuration entity 208 may deposit WEB server script 226 within script list storage location 218 of mobile terminal 204 via BTHC 214 and mobile server software block 216. Once script 226 is deposited, personal WEB server software block 216 then instantiates an indication that informs the user as to the presence of script 226 in script list storage location 218. In one embodiment, a visual indicator such as icon 202 may be used to provide such an indication, conversely or in addition to, an audible or tactile queue may be provided to the user of mobile terminal 204, should the user be occupied in a manner that precludes visual notification.
In any event, once the user of mobile terminal 204 has been apprised of the script upload, he or she may either confirm or deny acceptance of the script per script query 210. In order to aid the user in his or her determination, the user may first access information, either contained within script 226 or separately contained within an information file (not shown), that is also uploaded by configuration entity 208 and subsequently stored within script list storage location 218. Through access of the information file, the user may obtain additional information concerning script 226, such as an explanation of the operation of script 226, an identification of the author of script 226, an HTTP link to a WEB site containing further information concerning script 226, etc. If the user denies acceptance of script 226, then script 226 and its associated information file is removed from script list storage location 218 and no further action is taken. If, on the other hand, the user accepts script 226, then script 226 is activated to perform its assigned duties.
In an exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, script 226 may be a polling script uploaded by configuration entity 208 to obtain certain information concerning the location of the user of mobile terminal 204 and/or any specific activities engaged in by the user at his or her specific location. For example, the user of mobile terminal 204 may enter into a cinema that is currently playing a number of newly released movies, one of which the user intends to view. As the user passes through the doorway of the particular movie theater that is playing the movie, or in some other fashion comes within proximity to a configuration entity associated with that particular movie, the configuration entity detects the presence of mobile terminal 204 via Bluetooth connection 206 and uploads polling script 226 into script list storage location 218.
It should be noted that mobile terminal 204 may be recognized as a WEB server in a proximity context, whereby a-priori knowledge of mobile terminal 204 is not necessary. For example, once configuration entity 208 is instantiated with uploading capability enabled, WEB server scripts may be uploaded to the personal WEB server using a proximity connection, such as the Bluetooth connection discussed above, or conversely through use of the Internet via a particular HTTP link. The HTTP link, for example, may be expressed as "http://address//3rdparty/upload/script", where "address" is the address, or domain name, of the personal WEB server. The domain name may then be converted to an IP address using, for example, the DNS capability of HSS 128 of
Polling script 300 of
After the movie, for example, the user of mobile terminal 204 notices the presence of icon 202 on his display, thus indicating the presence of polling script 300. After viewing the information file (not shown) that is associated with polling script 300, the user executes polling script 300, which instantiates form dialog 350 onto the display of mobile terminal 204. Code segment 304 defines movie ratings 354 that may be used by the user to rate the movie from 1-5, whereby a default value of, for example "5", has been selected to denote excellence. If the user agrees that the movie was excellent, he may leave the default value activated and then select submit button 356, as defined by code segment 306, to place his vote. If, on the other hand, the user wishes to change the rating to one of the other radio selections, then he may do so by clicking on one of the other radio buttons 354 before placing his vote.
In response to clicking submit button 356, the results of the voting may be placed into, for example, an Active Server Page (ASP) file, e.g., "vote.asp", as defined by form tag 302 for subsequent access by the originator of polling script 300. Alternately, the results of the query may be placed into any number of database formats, such as MS Access, DB2, Informix, MS SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, etc. and subsequently accessed via a Structure Query Language (SQL). By similarly uploading polling script 300 onto other personal WEB servers, the originator of polling script 300 may then access the polling result files/databases of each of the other personal WEB servers to build statistics concerning each movie queried.
Automatic functions may also be executed within the personal WEB servers during, for example, idle periods, so as to minimize the computational impact on the personal WEB servers. For example, the user of mobile terminal 204 may have visited a SETI@phone project, whereby a client-server arrangement uses scripts that may be widely distributed among networked mobile terminals using an upload procedure as discussed above. The scripts, once executed, use spare computing time on the mobile terminals to perform tasks that involve analyzing portions of radio telescope signals that have been previously uploaded to the user's mobile terminal. The results of each script are returned to a storage location defined by the "action" attribute of the SETI(phone script and are then subsequently accessed by the SETI@phone script originator. The results of other mobile terminals similarly tasked may then be accessed and subsequently combined to complete the total signal analysis task.
In an alternate embodiment, metrics may be automatically obtained from each mobile terminal once a particular scripted function has been accepted by the user of the mobile terminal. For instance, the tourism board of a particular country may be interested in the travel habits of those who visit their country. As such, the tourism board may upload a tourist tracking script to the mobile phone of each tourist that comes within proximity to any one of the many tourist information centers located across the country. Once accepted, the uploaded tourist tracking script may periodically query a Global Positioning System (GPS) module, or similar location update module, located within each mobile terminal to obtain the GPS coordinates, or similar location coordinates, that are used to track the position of the mobile terminal. The periodically queried GPS coordinates are written to a storage location within the mobile terminal as directed by the tourist tracking script and subsequently accessed by the tourism board. In so doing, the tourism board is able to track how tourists are moving about their country with no explicit activity required by the tourist, apart from the tourist's initial acceptance of the tourist tracking script.
In an alternate embodiment, performance metrics may be automatically obtained from personal WEB servers in order to, for example, troubleshoot a technical problem with a newly released mobile terminal model having a particular range of International Mobile Station Equipment Identities (IMEI). In particular, an entity existent within Internet 138 may task 3G RAN 132 with uploading a test script to each of mobile terminals 108 having the IMEI, or range of IMEIs, that are suspected of anomalous operation. The test script, upon approval of its user, may then subject the mobile terminals to a battery of automated test procedures, the results of which may then be locally placed into a location defined by the WEB site name space as directed by the test script. At regular intervals, a WEB-bot may access the test results at the predetermined WEB site location and then compare the test results to a set of baseline results that are indicative of a normally operating mobile terminal. Any test results not conforming to the baseline are then identified by IMEI and recalled as necessary to correct the problem.
It should be noted that each of the personal WEB server scripts described above remain inactive until the user of the mobile terminal in receipt of the uploaded script has authorized its invocation. Until authorized, the uploaded script remains invisible to all entities within ALL-IP core 112, thus allowing the user full control as to whether or not to accept the script. In addition, once the script is invoked, it is executed within a sandbox environment, e.g., a protected and limited environment, which allows the script to run without causing risk of harm to the other components of the mobile terminal.
In an alternate embodiment, the user of a mobile terminal may initiate a request to configure his or her mobile terminal into a personal WEB server according to the present invention. In such an instance, any services and/or content available within the mobile terminal, or proximately coupled to the mobile terminal, may be accessed by any requesting entity irregardless of the abilities of the user to establish such a personal WEB server.
Content 422 may represent any local content contained within personal WEB server 404 that is to be provided to storage location 408 for subsequent network 402 access. Such local content may include image, video, and audio data as captured by the imaging capability (not shown) that may be integral to personal WEB server 404, or conversely, as received from proximity device 416 via proximity interface 410. In one embodiment, for example, content 422 may correspond to images of the birth of a first born child along with images of the child's first 6 months of life. The proud parents of the child, however, are the users of the mobile terminal and are unaware of the procedures to be taken to make the images available to any interested entities within network 402, such as family and friends.
Accordingly, a script request is transmitted on path 418 from request handler 406 on behalf of the user's wish to make the images available via network 402. In response, a MIDlet is received via path 420 from a configuration entity within network 402. The MIDlet received from path 420 may be, for example, an executable utility that first proceeds to query the user during an interactive interview, as to the nature of the content to be made available. The interview may consist of questions as to the storage location, i.e., path name, that is to be used to access content 422 from storage location 408 during network access. Further, the user may wish to make content 422 available only to those requesting entities having the appropriate security credentials, such as password and login name, thus the MIDlet queries the user as to the security level he or she wishes to impose upon the requesting entities.
Once the interview has been completed and all pertinent information has been ascertained as to the content and security to be provided, the MIDlet next advertises personal WEB server 404 with registry 412. Thus, Internet browsers contained within network 402 may perform discovery procedures to first locate and authenticate themselves with personal WEB server 404 and then link to the image data of the newborn previously identified by the user. It can be seen, therefore, that requested and non-requested scripting may be accomplished in accordance with the present invention to allow mobile terminals to operate as personal WEB servers in a variety of contexts to allow third parties to specify how content from the personal WEB servers is to be generated.
Turning now to flow chart 500 of
If, on the other hand, a third party wishes to specify content generation on the personal WEB server, then step 512 determines whether the mobile terminal is within proximity range, e.g., via Bluetooth, WLAN, or IR, or if the mobile terminal is otherwise located. If proximately located, then the required script is uploaded to the mobile terminal via the appropriate proximity means as in step 514, or conversely, the script is uploaded via non-proximity means as in step 516. In either case, user acceptance must be granted as determined in step 518, otherwise the third party specified content generation method is terminated.
If the user accepts the script, then the script's action either requires user interaction to generate the content as determined in step 520, or the script operates automatically without the user's interaction to generate the content. If user interaction is required, then step 522 is executed to interact with the user, as discussed for example in relation to
The invention is a modular invention, whereby processing functions within a mobile terminal may be utilized to implement the present invention. The mobile devices may be any type of wireless device, such as wireless/cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or other wireless handsets, as well as portable computing devices capable of wireless communication.

The processor 602 is also coupled to user-interface 606 elements associated with the mobile terminal. The user-interface 606 of the mobile terminal may include, for example, a display 608 such as a liquid crystal display, a keypad 610, speaker 612, internal camera 632, and microphone 614. These and other user-interface components are coupled to the processor 602 as is known in the art. Other user-interface mechanisms may be employed, such as voice commands, switches, touch pad/screen, graphical user interface using a pointing device, trackball, joystick, or any other user interface mechanisms.
The mobile computing arrangement 600 also includes conventional circuitry for performing wireless transmissions. A digital signal processor (DSP) 616 may be employed to perform a variety of functions, including analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion, digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion, speech coding/decoding, encryption/decryption, error detection and correction, bit stream translation, filtering, etc. The transceiver 618, generally coupled to an antenna 620, transmits the outgoing radio signals 622 and receives the incoming radio signals 624 associated with the wireless device.

Really feel good to see my anomaly scan I got a baby boy.... I m very happy
Leo Child
Lion-hearted loyaltyWarmth, loyalty and generosity are just a few of your Leo child's many wonderful qualities. Leo children are enthusiastic and affectionate. They experience life with the whole of their enormous hearts.
Sensitive, proud and often just a touch vain, Leo children seem tough on the outside, but they're actually rather vulnerable on the inside. One harsh word can knock a Leo's confidence, so you'll have to be careful about how you talk to your little one, especially when it comes to discipline.
Leo's primary needs include attention and approval. Your child will do whatever it takes to gain your appreciation, as well as that of his friends, and, in fact, pretty much anyone who is around. He'll have a natural dramatic flair and will treat you to spur-of-the-moment performances from a young age. You might notice him looking into the mirror a lot too and dressing himself with a colourful sense of style.
Leo children do best when showered with praise and credit for things they've done right. Your little one is likely to achieve a lot as he goes through childhood. He could easily become the star performer in his drama group at school, or become a force to be reckoned with on the football pitch. If there's an opportunity to shine, he will go for it.
Reward your child for his many strengths, including his sense of loyalty and firm morals. Otherwise, he may not realise that these gifts are even more important and worthy than his ability to impress others with his sense of humour and good looks.
According to astrology, how you bond with your Leo child can depend on your star sign too. Should you schedule in some playtime, encourage their creativity or give them a bit of extra affection? Find out what the stars say by clicking on your star sign below:

Nvidia 6400, how do i enable turbocache?
Hi there!
I had a bugger of a time trying to get linux to install on my s570p sony vaio, fedora was the only OS that would install successfully. Anyway thats by the by.
I have an nvidia 6400 graphics card, pcie, with turbocache. The card itself has 32mb onboard, and tops up the rest from ram. I have 2 1x1gb sticks of ram (2gb total) memory in it, and under windows i have a "256mb" card (its "128mb" if you have 512ram or less btw).
I have successfully installed the latest nvidia drivers and can play a few games, however both "nvclock" and the "nvidia display settings" are reporting 32mb. So ok, they may only be reporting the real ram owned by the card, not the turbocache.
However, I have tried the quake 4 demo and it runs ever so poorly against its windows cousin. I used to have an ati notebook (t41p ibm) and quake 4 actually ran smoother under linux, hence my suprise.
I checked nvclock and by default it underclocks my card to 12mhz (yes, 12) so i force a change with "nvclock -f -n 450". However, this still doesnt increase performance that much.
I understand that my graphics card isnt going to run quake 4 full spec, but its on 640x480 with all fancy options off. It whizzes along in windows xp, but in fedora (as it stands) its on a zimmer frame!
So is there an option I can set in the xorg.conf or something that I can set the amount of "turbocache" memory to? I hope so, half the reason for buying this notebook was specifically for the nvidia card!
thanks for any help you can offer!
Re: Nvidia 6400, how do i enable turbocache?
any ideas folks? can anyone else with a turbocache confirm?
Re: Nvidia 6400, how do i enable turbocache?
Nvclock 0.8b doesn't properly support all overclocking methods support by nv4x cards. The cvs version can detect the clocks properly but can't properly overclock away from 'bad' clocks (ones that appear as 12MHz in 0.8b)
Turbocache is enabled by default I think on the card, you don't need any driver for it. Both nvclock and nvidia-settings detect the amount of 'real' video memory.
Re: Nvidia 6400, how do i enable turbocache?
hey thanks for the reply. I think i just have to go back and tweak the settings in linux again, just to make sure i wasnt underclocking anything i shouldnt have when playing quake 4!
If i hear anything else I will post here, im waiting for an answer from nvidia.
Re: Nvidia 6400, how do i enable turbocache?
hmm, i think i was a silly boy and left the powersave daemon running, hence why q4 would have run slow. I was playing about with it again last night and it seemed to be fine. oops! :D

TAG frame mods

I am learning some Texan :)
Having played with tag arms for more than 10 years, will give you my 2 cents.
I like them but they are more delicate that the elongated steel swimgarm ala HPN. Steel vs alum fusion. That said...I never had any problem with them.
I know of people that cracked the swing arm but they didnt follow Tag's recommendation mods to the frame and they didn't respect the schock travel which is max 270. Ezio will tell you 260 mm because h wants to play safe:)
If i have to pick between the 2 and money is not issue go definitely with the TAG arm. Are you kidding me?
I know that TAG had some of them reinforced...buy adding some addl materials in certain areas -check out my bike and look very closely to my swingarm:
I miss the lira...everything now is double with the Euro in Italy...
Tag bikes and set up have been tested and tested and tested and tested and tested and tested in racing competitions by enduro professional racers so you will not have a problem with what Ezio set you up with.
The last TAG bikes have an oilhead swingarm with the shock attachment done on the side as the monolever does. Since i have never heard of them having any issues, I have copied the set up and will test my last shortstroke enduro in few months. I will ill report on this. Having cracked BMW reinforced frames in the past, i know i will test it right...:)

The HPN/Moorespeed monos have the mounting point a bunch further back. Does this approach give more 'control' because of lower lever pressure?
The interesting thing is that the TAG swingarm is angled at 6 degrees to the right, so that you can offset your rim for a 140 tyre and not have too much overall wheel offset.
From what I had understood on a 'standard' extended mono, you need to offset your rim the approx 12-14mm from center-line to clear a 140.
With the TAG design you have approx 10mm of play on your rim offset to get back to centreline, so resulting in an approx 2-4mm offset.
They said that there is not enough width at the gearbox end to allow for a greater angling of the mono that would totally remove this offset.
does this all make sense?
it comes with this 'stub' driveshaft that is made to be welded to a standard mono driveshaft

Bruce Pearl will be the next coach of the Auburn Tigers, Pearl and the school confirmed Tuesday.
Pearl told ESPN.com that he received a six-year deal, but financial terms were still being worked on Tuesday. He said details would be released later.
Pearl said he cannot recruit, or evaluate, under his NCAA show-cause penalty from his time at Tennessee until Aug. 24, 2014. NCAA spokeswoman Emily James said Auburn has 30 days to file a report to the Committee on Infractions either contesting or accepting the show-cause penalty.
"I want to be accountable,'' Pearl told ESPN.com. "This is the penalty. I'm Auburn's men's basketball coach and we'll work with the NCAA on what I can do.''
Pearl, 54, was fired in 2011 after taking Tennessee to the NCAA tournament in each of his six seasons. He has worked for ESPN as an analyst the past two years.
"It's a good fit,'' said Pearl, who was on his way to meet with the Auburn president. "They haven't been able to do it consistently in men's basketball. The league is on the upswing. I'm hoping I can get the program to join the upper division. We've got to get more than three teams in the NCAA tournament. That's a fact. I look forward to being part of the process.''
He was fired for lying to the NCAA in March 2011 in regards to the recruitment of Aaron Craft (at the time a junior in high school who ended up at Ohio State) and given a three-year show cause by the NCAA. The show-cause expires in August and will not allow him to have contact with potential recruits this summer. Pearl, however, will be allowed to evaluate recruits in the all-important July recruiting period.
Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said he believes Pearl "has learned from his mistake." The coach was to be introduced at a news conference at Auburn Arena Tuesday night.
"I've thought about this a great deal, and obviously so has Coach Pearl. I believe people who are genuine and sincere deserve second chances," Jacobs said in a statement. "If I did not believe Coach Pearl's apologies were sincere and heartfelt, I would not have even considered him."
Pearl was greeted by 100-plus fans when he landed at the airport in Auburn. He jumped into a mosh pit of fans.
"I want this same reception when we come back with an SEC championship," he told fans upon arrival.
Pearl hired back his former associate head coach Tony Jones, who went 5-3 when Pearl was suspended for eight games by SEC commissioner Mike Slive for the violations of lying to the NCAA about inviting a recruit to a cookout at his house (Ohio State's Aaron Craft).
Jones had been the high school coach at Alcoa, Tenn. He was with Pearl Tuesday in Auburn.
Pearl said Jacobs is committed to helping him hire a "great staff" and will give him the financial flexibility.
"We're going to think outside the box,'' Pearl said. "We want to bring in someone who compliments us.''
Auburn fired Tony Barbee last week after the Tigers finished 14-16 and 6-12 in the SEC. The former coach at UTEP was 49-75 in four seasons at Auburn.
"From the moment I met Coach Pearl and heard his vision for our basketball program, it was clear he's the right man at the right time for Auburn," Jacobs said in the statement. "Coach Pearl is a proven winner who will bring energy and excitement to our program.

New episodes of the weekly television show Melbourne Property TV start screening on March 5 in Melbourne and Geelong and, later in the week, other parts of Victoria.
The program is broadcast on Channel 31 (44 on digital) on Mondays at 8.30pm in Melbourne and Geelong. It is also broadcast on TV4ME in regional Victoria on digital 64.
Last year the weekly audience peaked at 140,000.
Just like last year, the format of the show will feature an entertaining mix of property news, views and analysis.
The first three property panels for the year will consider topical questions in real estate. In next week's program the panel will discuss how the year's market is shaping up.
In the following week it will examine the topic of owner's corporations; with more than one in five Victorians being in an owner's corporation, it is an issue sure to be of interest to many.
The third show of this series will host a panel discussion on how to achieve the most from your marketing campaign.
Each show has tips from property market professionals and looks at what's happening in a range of suburbs and towns.
The segments on suburbs and towns were particularly entertaining last season, with local agents providing expert views and host Des Dowling uncovering some of each area's features.
Don't worry if you missed any of last year's shows - they can all be viewed at the REIV website.

Timing is Everything.
OK, so I get a couple of paragraphs to prove I am witty, sensitive, romantic, socially adept, successful, confident, articulate, open and honest. I believe I am up to the challenge and can deliver on all of these qualities. I am an Assistant Treasurer at an $8 billion Lake Forest based company. I negotiate credit deals with banks and develop and implement worldwide structures to manage the company's cash more efficiently. To this end I enjoy the social aspect of my profession much more than the analytical. I enjoy building relationships which extend beyond the deal being negotiated. In fact, some of my best friends are bankers and other treasury professionals who I initially met professionally and later developed a strong social bond. I am an avid runner and cyclist with five marathons and five triathlons under my belt. One of my goals in life is to peddle across the U.S. stopping in each little town to talk with and get to know the people who live there. I believe curiosity is one of the joys of life. I am looking for someone with a kind heart, who is active, likes to socialize, loves to travel and spend time with friends. I am just as comfortable in running shorts as in a tux – enjoying each event equally. Someone I can sit on my deck with on a Friday night and talk about our day over a beer and pizza, someone I can do the town with on a Saturday evening whether that means going to a romantic restaurant or a bar with friends, someone I will consider to be my best friend, someone to travel with and experience the world, someone I can laugh with often and someone who acknowledges and appreciates when I do romantic things even though they may be corny.

ESPN New York is reporting that Knicks shooting guard J.R. Smith has opted of his contract, and will become a free agent. Sources say that his opt out is no surprise to the Knicks, who didn't expect Smith to play for $2.9 million after winning the NBA"s Sixth Man Of The Year Award. Smith averaged 18.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, and was an integral part of the Knicks making it to the Eastern Conference Semi's. The Knicks will be able to offer Smith about $5 million a season, and are banking on his relationship with Mike Woodson closing the deal.

photo of Washington Elementary in Alameda by Laura A. Oda/Staff
This morning, I tagged along with Oakland's new superintendent, Tony Smith, as he visited Oakland High and Lafayette Elementary on the first day of the semester. Things seemed to be running smoothly at both schools; I'm sure Smith was relieved to see that Oakland High, which is undergoing major renovations and construction, was all cleaned up and ready for Day 1 — as he promised concerned teacher union leaders that it would be.
O High's new principal, Alicia Romero, was busy making sure kids were showing their ID tags (most wore them around their necks) and, of course, getting to their next class on time. "Look like you're worried!" she told the stragglers.
What's going on at your school? Got any reports for us?

Guides For Writing Clinical Systematic Reviews
- Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of InterventionsThe official document that describes in detail the process of preparing and maintaining Cochrane systematic reviews on the effects of healthcare interventions.
- PRISMAPRISMA stands for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. It is an evidence-based minimum set of items for reporting in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The PRISMA Statement consists of a 27-item checklist and a four-phase flow diagram.
- Finding What Works in Health CareInstitute of Medicine (IOM) recommends 21 standards for developing high-quality systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research. The standards address the entire systematic review process from the initial steps of formulating the topic and building the review team to producing a detailed final report that synthesizes what the evidence shows and where knowledge gaps remain.
Lecture Slides
What is a Systematic Review?
Systematic a: methodical in procedure or plan <a systematic approach> <a systematic scholar> b: marked by thoroughness and regularity <systematic efforts>
Review a: a retrospective view or survey (as of one's life) b: renewed study of material previously studied (2) : an exercise facilitating such study
"A systematic review attempts to collate all empirical evidence that fits pre-specified eligibility criteria to answer a specific research question. It uses explicit, systematic methods that are selected to minimize bias, thus providing reliable findings from which conclusions can be drawn and decisions made. Meta-analysis is the use of statistical methods to summarize and combine the results of independent studies." - Cochrane Collaboration
A Brief Introduction to Evidence-Based Medicine
The following image represents the hierarchy and availability of the different types of research evidence and studies. As you can see, Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis are the highest level of evidence, but the least populous of all the study types.
View the following presentation for a brief introduction to the EBM Cycle
What's Required?
Guidelines for strict clinical systematic reviews do not always work well for the fields of nutrition, public health or mental health. It is worthwhile, however to be familar with those guidelines and then modify the searching and the types of studies included to fit these disciplines. See the Guides for Writing Systematic Reviews box to the left.
There are guides for systematic reviews in non-clinical topics such as nutrition and public health reviews. You can see these on one of our other systematic review guides, Systematic Reviews for Nutrition and Public Health.
How Long do They Take?
Remember the evidence pyramid and how few systematic reviews and meta-anaylses there are? This can be attributed to a few factors:
- Many topics do not have enough lower-level research completed to create a thorough SR
- Many topics do not lend themselves to "pure" SRs
- Requirements for SRs are stringent, causing many attempts to fall short in methodology
- High-quality SRs take a lot of TIME and effort.
The Cochrane Collaboration estimates about a year to complete the process, and this is often by teams of people working together on one review.

The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Oct 19, 2009 - History - 336 pages
National Book Award–winner Timothy Egan turns his historian's eye to the largest-ever forest fire in America and offers an epic, cautionary tale for our time.
On the afternoon of August 20, 1910, a battering ram of wind moved through the drought-stricken national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, whipping the hundreds of small blazes burning across the forest floor into a roaring inferno that jumped from treetop to ridge as it raged, destroying towns and timber in the blink of an eye. Forest rangers had assembled nearly ten thousand men to fight the fires, but no living person had seen anything like those flames, and neither the rangers nor anyone else knew how to subdue them. Egan recreates the struggles of the overmatched rangers against the implacable fire with unstoppable dramatic force, and the larger story of outsized president Teddy Roosevelt and his chief forester, Gifford Pinchot, that follows is equally resonant. Pioneering the notion of conservation, Roosevelt and Pinchot did nothing less than create the idea of public land as our national treasure, owned by every citizen. Even as TR's national forests were smoldering they were saved: The heroism shown by his rangers turned public opinion permanently in favor of the forests, though it changed the mission of the forest service in ways we can still witness today.
This e-book includes a sample chapter of SHORT NIGHTS OF THE SHADOW CATCHER.

Two arrested as suspects in thefts near Simi health clubs
Simi Valley police have arrested two people in connection with a series of burglaries and thefts of vehicles parked outside health clubs and gymnasiums in the city.
Two gyms in particular, Gold's and 24-Hour Fitness, have been frequent targets of vehicles burglaries and thefts during the past eight months, police said.
Police, together with detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department, served two search warrants and arrested two suspects in Winnetka on Wednesday.
Jason Randall Lake, 28, and Maria Rubalcava, 26, were booked by Los Angeles police on suspicion of burglary. Both are from Winnetka in the San Fernando Valley.
Police said thieves would watch patrons leave their cars and enter the gym or other nearby business. Once inside, thieves would break into the vehicles and steal purses, computers and other valuable items left in plain view.

38 year old woman | San Mateo, CA, USA | Seeking men 30-42 within 50 miles of Palo Alto, CA
Nice girl hoping to meet a nice guy!
Hello! A little about myself - I grew up in India, came to the US to go to school, work here now and love my new life. The only thing I miss sometimes is my family - but hey that's what planes are for! I love to travel - have made it to about 25 countries so far. My last holiday was to Peru where I had a blast trudging up Machu Picchu and the Amazon. I'm happy with my career - it's given me a lot of independence and allowed me the freedom to travel, learn more about the world, and see new things. If travel is something that you love, then we should have plenty to talk about! And while I'm independent, I'm quite old fashioned too - I appreciate it when a guy opens doors for me, is the first to call and initiates advancing the relationship. I love to read (am a P. G. Wodehouse fan – British farcical humor!) and relax by watching movies (both the good stuff and escapist fare), eating ice-cream, photography and watching sports (tennis is a big favorite, cricket too though obviously there are fewer opportunities to watch matches in the US). And oh yes, I'm learning to swim and play tennis too. But enough about me! I would love to find someone who is good fun, kind and ambitious but knows how to make time for friends and family, and doesn't take himself too seriously. A love for travel would come in handy too :) If it sounds like you'd like to get to know me, just drop me a line.

Egypt and Austria are my favorites amongst the countries I've visited. Am hoping to make it to a safari in East Africa and visit the Nordic countries too. Having said that there's a lot of places I want to visit....
Reading, watching TV (right now I'm following Grimm, The Good Wife and Two and a Half Men), and listening to music (the Beatles are my all time favorite, and I like Adele too). Eating good food!
I'm a foodie, so like to try out new restaurants and cuisines. Hang out with friends, read a good book....there's always something to do. I'm getting into photography and I love to travel too...any chance I get I'm on a plane to somewhere!
I'm a big P.G. Wodehouse fan - for those of you who've never heard of him, he writes British farcical humor. I've read almost all his books though the Jeeves and Blandings Castle series are my favorites.

Something I've been curious about for some time now. How good are these two lovely ladies at hand-to-hand combat? NO powers or equipment. Period. Bare-knuckles fighting. Fight takes place in Crime Alley.
Round 1: Standard versions, morals on, win via KO only.
Round 2: Standard versions, morals off, win via KO or kill.
Round 3: At their absolute best (What If? and Elseworld count), morals off, win via KO or kill.

Ofcom says invest in next gen broadband
Ofcom has made another push to get broadband speeds up in the UK.
In particular, the regulator says that it wants to ensure that businesses that update fibre optic networks to enable second gen broadband connections get a return on their investment.
Ed Richards, chief executive of Ofcom, said that he is determined to create a business environment that will allow operators to "make and keep a rate of return that is commensurate with the risks they are taking".
He said: "Alongside mobile broadband, [fibre broadband] will, in time, have a similar impact as the first generation of broadband".
"We want investment in a competitive environment. Our position is clear. Ofcom favours a regulatory environment for the next generation of networks and access that both allows and encourages operators to make risky investments, to innovate for the benefit of consumers and, if the risks pay off, for the benefit of their shareholders too."
Ofcom seems to responding to concerns by BT that it is not going to make enough money from investing between £10 billion and £15 billion to cover 80% of the UK with fibre optic networks, which could deliver speeds of 100Mbps.
Meanwhile Sky is alleged to be trialling a fibre to curb project in London.

COLUMBIA CITY — According to the Indiana State Board of Health, seven pools of water have tested positive for the West Nile Virus in Whitley County.
Environmental Health Specialist Scott Wagner said the pools were located at Columbia City's Waste Water Treatment Plant.
Tests were conducted July 26 and the State Board of Health made the confirmation official Friday.
"It's a good reminder for people to take care of standing water on their property," Wagner said. "Any faulty septic systems should be dealt with as well."
At present, no one in the county has been infected by the virus, but knowing the risk exists is reason for residents to be aware.
For more information on how to minimize the risk of West Nile, visit www.in.gov [2]. or call 248-3121.

Scottish novelist Iain Banks has died
When Scottish novelist Iain Banks announced in April that he had an inoperable form of cancer, his large online following responded with affection and dismay.
"There can have been few novelists of recent years who were more aware of what their readers thought of their books; there is a frequent sense in his novels of an author teasing, testing and replying to a readership with which he was pretty familiar," wrote The Guardian's John Mullan in his obituary piece on Banks, who died Sunday at age 59. »Read Full Blog Post

It was truly a "leg-endary" finale for The Real Housewives of New York City Tuesday, as the season ended with a surprising exclamation when an incensed Aviva Drescher removed her artificial leg and tossed it across Le Cirque.
The season's memorable last leg, fittingly enough, just might rival the insanity of Teresa Giudice's table flip on season 1 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Author Carole Radziwill celebrated her 50th birthday, fittingly enough, with a Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil party on Tuesday's Real Housewives of New York City, and – in addition to real butterflies, chandeliers, lots of lace, mannequins and snake handlers – there were plenty of other surprises.
"I never celebrated my birthday after my husband died," said Radziwill, who stated she initially wasn't looking forward to celebrating her 50th, "but I feel sexy and empowered and strong."
Although New York's health department nixed the snakes, Heather Thomson, who planned Radziwill's birthday bash, was able to infuse NYC with Southern charm as well as all the dirty secrets from John Berendt's best seller.

Real Housewives of New York City's Ramona Singer Ribs the Countess at Jazz Club: 'There's No Auto-Tune'

The Real Housewives of New York City headed to a jazz club to watch Heather Thomson and Ramona Singer's husband, Mario, perform, but the night was filled with sour notes after Singer and LuAnn de Lesseps got into a heated argument.
"LuAnn's decided she doesn't want to sing. I don't blame her. She's not that great. And guess what? There's no Auto-Tune here," Singer quipped in Tuesday night's episode, after Thomson informed her that the countess would not be performing at the iconic jazz club Birdland.
Singer then told de Lesseps upon her entrance, "I'm upset you're not singing tonight."

The Real Housewives of New York City went to a rodeo in Montana on Tuesday, but they ended up stampeding all over hostess Kristen Taekman when they went glamping.
"Move over, bitch," Heather Thomson said to Taekman in their tricked-out tent in the middle of Big Sky Country after the two had exchanged heated words earlier in the day.
"Really? You're calling me a bitch right now?" asked Taekman. "I've not seen this side of Heather before."

The Real Housewives of New York City were, almost literally, fish out of water on Tuesday.
On a trip to Montana, the wives tried their manicured hands at a lot of outdoor activities, including fly-fishing, but largely came up empty-handed.
"I had a vision of fish flying out of the water," said Kristen Taekman, while Ramona Singer worried more about the fishy fashion. "The worst part of fly-fishing is the outfit … I look like Humpty Dumpty."

Aviva Drescher held an engagement party for her 76-year-old father, George, at, appropriately enough, the Museum of Sex, after he proposed to his 25-year-old girlfriend, Cody, in last week's episode.
"The Museum of Sex is an obvious choice for my father's engagement party," joked Drescher, before turning serious. "I believe that Cody and my father are truly in love, and while it may be unconventional, I support my father."

Sonja Morgan held a funeral for her dog on Tuesday's Real Housewives of New York City, and although it was a touching tribute, the memorial service was also – in typical Sonja style – a little "ruff" around the edges.
"I'm finally ready to say goodbye to my dog of 18 years," said an emotional Morgan. "I used Millou as a crutch … He was my shadow."
Morgan decided to toss a fancy funeral, asking the wives to wear black dresses and hats, and she even attempted to write her own eulogy, but Siri wouldn't cooperate.

And shock of shocks: The intervention worked. Well, sort of.
"Call it an intervention, call it a confrontation," said Heather Thomson, whose home Singer fled, lying to the ladies and heading to the Hamptons.
"How was the party?" LuAnn de Lesseps asked, referencing the Twitter photo she received showing Singer at a Hamptons party. "You blew us off, and you lied about it."

Now clearly Taylor hasn't suddenly gone full-on "raunch" with her subsequent style and public image, but hooking up with a known filthy shagger like Mayer a year later does change the conversation somewhat.

Joined: May 2002

Here is my new Fandango tank bag on a DR650 with an IMS gas tank.
The cutout on the bag base allowed me to move the tank bag up on the tank and move it over the gas cap some (Acerbis gas cap. fits all IMS tanks). You have a wide range of location to position this bag.
My previous tank bag needed to sit behind the gas cap. This caused the bag's rear edge to be angled out and up (vrs straight up & down like this bag) & thus the top rear edge was right where my crotch was. Because of this, it was in my standing space and was not good. I was constantly banging into the bag when standing.
Giant Loop's design changed all that. The gas cap cutout is deep and thus I could move the bag far enough up the tank and forward. This created the standing room I need but I moved it not so far forward that the bag interfered with the bars. My final placement was that the bars & controls barely touched the front of bag and gave me tons of standing room on the back side. Very happy!!!!!

Barlovento: Tapas or Dining
The first impression is the restaurant's look which is in form of a ship which attracts the guests first. But this restaurant is locally famous for their fine menus especially fish dishes and tapas. It is recommended to us by a Spanish lady and a language teacher from Torrevieja. The setting inside is like that of a fishermen's boat with all those decors pertaining to sealife. Tables and chairs looks very sturdy and are made of dark woods that gives a baroque style. Only they are set very close to the next table. We love the outside hut which represents a Mediterranean atmosphere.
ZANA Kebab: Kebab anyone?
This simple restaurant is one of a kind lining along the beach of La Mata. We love their kebabs and enjoy the sea atmosphere very much and the setting is comfortably cozy. Pizzas are also not to miss here. They have fine salads too. Don't be surprised,
they do served with plastic knife and forks. Unless you ask....maybe ..... we didn't.
Barlovento: Galeon bar
This place must be famous for locals, as a 90% of the people there were Spanish and most of them were habitual. Even in January was full from 8,30 till 12,00 and people keep on entering and sitting and waiting for tables.
Food was good, we all had meat, but the fish looked incredible too
The Dubliner: Irish Pub
At the paseo martimo, there were a few terrazas to enjoy a Saturday afternoon under the sun.
we first stop here as they know the owners.
A old Spanish friend told me once that British once they like a place, they are very loyal to the place, and it is true, but I think I have a little of Brit. now too lol
Barlovento: Dine in a Spanish Galleon 2
I could not resist adding a second entry for this restaurant just to show the exterior design. If it was not for the modern apartment block sat upon its main deck you could be mistaken for thinking it was actually a ship. What added to the nautical theme was Paul excellent rendition of Captain Jack Sparrow from the movie Pirates of the Carribean, which incidently we watched afterwards in his apartment. Until the DVD got stuck.... so we missed the ending.

Barlovento: Dine in a Spanish Galleon 1
The outside and inside of this restaurant have been designed to resemble a Galleon. The decor is quite fascinating and adds to the popularity of this bar.
Favorite Dish: I had the Peppered fillet steak, which I really enjoyed, but they had a very diverse selection of food including many fish dishes. I did tuck into one of Paul´s delicious Goat Chops too, the first time I´d tried goat and I´m sure not the last.

Montenegro: Austrian dishes
Fine Austrian cuisine located just a few steps away from the Calle Mayor.
Favorite Dish: A good dining place. Salmon in creamsauce served with green salads is savoury. Not to forget, vino de la casa .
The Mississippi Queen (Restaurant): Not a passenger liner!
Wonderful surroundings! Fantastic view towards the park and the coast. Fine menus and friendly service. Very romantic during full moon! Pricey!
Cover Cafeteria: Our fav coffee shop
Centrally located just next to the bus station. Ideal for a short pause after a walk or after shopping or grocery.

Cosy place and friendly sevice personals. Asian has many variations of dishes. Worth dining!

Not all tattoos turn out as masterpieces.Take this guy for example, who decided he wanted an image of diminutive Chicago Bulls guard Nate Robinson stamped on the left side of his back. Not just any image, though. He got an image of the 5-foot-9 player about to throw down a between-the-legs dunk.There are three things (maybe more) that make this tattoo less than stellar.First, the tattoo depicts Robinson wearing a New York Knicks jersey. Robinson last played for the Knicks in 2010 after spending six seasons with the franchise. He has bounced around with four others NBA teams since then.Second, the ball he is holding appears to be massively deflated. I mean, what is that?Lastly, and probably most notably, the net he is soaring to looks more like a pair of boxers or a slice of swiss cheese than an actual net. It all adds up to a big, permanent mistake.Via CBS Sports

Gear Review
Love it!!
This is by far the most comfortable backpack I have ever owned. I've done several backpacking trips with several different bags, and I have never had one that didn't give me sore spots or bother in some way. I cannot speak highly enough of how much I enjoyed using this bag. The pocket configuration is great. I love the various compartments and zipper setup allowing easy access to the bottom of the bag. The little pocket on the belt is an added bonus for chapstick, flashlight, pocketknife, etc.
