Comments about 1 gram Gold Bar - APMEX:
I came across two of these at a local "We Buy a Gold" place. They were my first bars and first gold purchase. Yeah, they're tiny, but is only needed one small hit to get hooked. I welt down the road and bought two 2.5 gram bars. These were not in assay, but sealed flip-like plastic. Prob'ly a high premium over spot just based on the small size, but wholly affordable.
Comments about 1 gram Gold Bar - APMEX:
I was surprised at how small it was, but a great way for someone on a budget to buy precious metal.
Comments about 1 gram Gold Bar - APMEX:
VERY tiny! If you aren't familiar with how tiny a gram is, then prepare to become acquainted. Nonetheless, a solid product that is good for starters. Just make sure you don't lose it!!!
Comments about 1 gram Gold Bar - APMEX:
Shipping was fast and packaging was amazing. Great little (and I do mean little) product.
Comments about 1 gram Gold Bar - APMEX:
Alot smaller then i thought. They come sealed away in a plastic bag. Each of them. Not bad. Will order more. Shipping was on par.
Comments about 1 gram Gold Bar - APMEX:
these a re a great way to get your feet wet to start purchasing gold bullion on a budget.
Comments about 1 gram Gold Bar - APMEX:

Comments about 1 gram Gold Bar - APMEX:
An easy way to own some gold. These look fantastic in person.
Comments about 1 gram Gold Bar - APMEX:
This was my first gold bar i have bought. What cant you like about gold? Its nice to see Apmex selling smaller bars. Most other dealers sell 1oz. or larger. I like being able to buy smaller ones we cant aford to buy the 1oz. But with theses smaller ones we can still buy gold.
Comments about 1 gram Gold Bar - APMEX:
I ordered one from APMEX and it came sealed in plastic. The gold was in very good condition. The small sizes are great for average investors who cannot buy larger amounts of gold due to expense. I will buy again and I highly recommend these bars!!!!

Route suggestions Maggie Valley NC to Cocoa FLA
Heading from Maggie Valley NC to Cocoa Beach Florida in July. Thinking 441 thru Georgia to Lake City Florida then Hwy. 100 to the coast. Or 129 to Russell Scenic Hwy to 129 and pickup 441 in Athens. Anybody have any suggestions? On big bikes but NO super slab.
I like to take 441 south thru Clayton Ga to the Ga route 17 bypass at Toccoa, take 17 south to Wrens Ga. At Wrens, Go south on US 1 to Baxley Ga.
At Baxley, take Ga 15 south till it runs back into US 1. (By using 15, you avoid all the traffic lights and congestion of Waycross). Continue south on US 1 to 295 at Jacksonville. From there I just use I 95, but you can figure out other options.
From Topton/Nantahala to the Florida line is about 400 mi. I've ridden it on bikes and car/pickup. It's my favorite way to go, assuming there's no unusual problems on the way.
You can run 215 or 281 down and then head towards Toccoa/Athens and pick up the previous route along the way. 215 is one of my favorite roads.
Thanks for suggestions. Giving us 2 days for MV to CB, wives riding with us. Looking at 215,281 to athens or 28 ,Russell scenic hwy (348) ,129 to athens Leaning towards 215 route. Thinking layover in Dublin GA
Atlanta's sprawl goes north almost to Dahlonega to Gainesville and to Athens. Get anywhere close to that area and it is a time killer, not that small towns aren't.
441 is pretty much a 4 lane highway now all the way down to Athens and beyond.
I would probably run the Parkway to 215 to64 to 281 to 107 connector to 107 to 28.
From there just network the smaller highways south, maybe pick up 17 in Lavonia. The corridor along the Savannah river basin is nice rural roads although I don't go that way often. I tend to stay in the mountains.

Of all the obstacles we face with feeding 2050's projected population, a runaway greenhouse effect is the highest hurdle to clear.

The Pope's thoughts echo the refrain of the People's Climate March - to change everything, we need everyone. Making the connections from local to global is a crucial point of demonstrating power, and 2015 is a big year to just that in the build up to COP21 in Paris.
June 30, 2015
June has proved to be a great month for the climate, as countries around the world tackle the dangers of fossil fuels head on. Perhaps the action getting the most attention was the announcement earlier this month from G7 leaders that they will phase out fossil fuels by the end of the century. While the details remain unclear, the commitment from the U.S., Canada, Germany, France, the UK, Japan, and Italy is an important sign that the G7 countries are prepared to take responsibility as we move toward the climate negotiations in Paris later this year.

Monday's Supreme Court decision in Michigan v. EPA, siding with industry challengers to the Environmental Protection Agency's Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, is bad news, for all the obvious reasons: the Standards save thousands of lives and prevent a host of illnesses, and protect children from the threat of life-long neurological damage. They are a tremendous bargain for the American public. Now, a five-Justice majority of the Supreme Court has asked EPA to supplement its decision with additional consideration of the costs to industry, acceding to Big Coal's belief in the sanctity of its profits.

Last week, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) released partial results of a poll they commissioned to gauge public opinion about the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed new ozone standards. The headline of their press release, "More Americans Concerned with Economic Harm of Increasing Federal Regulations Than Environmental Benefit," certainly caught my attention. This claim runs counter to most other national surveys we have seen recently, which demonstrate strong bipartisan support for environmental and public health protections including the Clean Power Plan's carbon pollution limits and stronger national ozone standards.

Shares of
Schnitzer Steel Industries Inc.
) dropped around 7% during the trading session after the company
reported wider-than-expected loss for first quarter of fiscal
2014 (ended Nov 30, 2013). The company's bottom-line was hurt by
restructuring charges associated with its cost-saving measures.
Its shares eventually closed at $30.06, losing around 3.2%.
The Oregon-based company posted a net loss of 23 cents per
share in the first quarter as against year-ago quarter's loss of
6 cents per share. Excluding restructuring charges of $2 million,
or 5 cents per share, adjusted loss came in at 18 cents a share,
which was wider than the adjusted loss of 2 cents recorded in the
year-ago quarter as well as the Zacks Consensus Estimate of loss
of 7 cents per share.
Non-ferrous sales volumes increased 4% from the prior-year
quarter to 124 million pounds. However, the results declined 12%
sequentially. Improved export prices along with strong domestic
market led to higher average net ferrous selling prices as
compared to the previous quarter. Nonferrous prices were stable
in the quarter.
Sales from the Auto Parts Business (APB) unit increased 14%
year over year to $80 million from $70 million recorded in the
year-ago quarter. The growth was due to incremental contributions
from retail stores, which are being added since the first quarter
of fiscal 2013. APB expanded its presence in the Pacific
Northwest market with the acquisition of its fourth self-service
retail store in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area.
Revenues from Schnitzer Steel's SMB division slipped 4% year
over year to $88 million. Finished steel sales volumes fell 1%
year over year and 7% sequentially to 128,000 tons. The
year-over-year decline reflected steady demand for construction
products on the West Coast. Average net sales prices for finished
steel products of $657 declined 3% year over year and 1%
Financial Position
Schnitzer Steel ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents
of $29.9 million, up roughly 23% year over year. Long-term debt
increased 12% year over year to $393.4 million. The company
generated $26 million in operating cash flow in the reported
Restructuring Program
Schnitzer Steel, as a part of its continuing cost reduction
initiatives, further reduced its annual operating expenses by $30
million. The company is expected to experience 70% of the
reduction benefits in fiscal 2014 results, with the full annual
benefit expected to be achieved in fiscal 2015. The cost
reduction is expected to be achieved through a combination of
headcount reductions, implementation of transportation
efficiencies, reduced lease costs, and other productivity and
non-trade procurement savings.
The company achieved a benefit of $4 million in the first quarter
and expects benefit of $6 million in the second quarter.
Schnitzer Steel's cost reduction initiative is underway and is
expected to deliver a minimum of $20 million of savings in fiscal
2014. The company has continued to expand its APB business by
acquiring a fourth store. This acquisition is expected to provide
supply chain synergies to the MRB business. The company expects
the full year tax rate for fiscal 2014 to be roughly 37%.
The company remains focused on increasing value through
expansion of its metals recycling export platform and auto parts
business, optimizing costs and boosting performance through
sustained operational improvement initiatives.
Schnitzer Steel retains a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
Other companies in the steel industry with favorable Zacks
Rank are
Companhia Siderurgica Nacional
) and
AK Steel Holding Corp.
). While Companhia Siderurgica and ArcelorMittal hold a Zacks
Rank #1 (Strong Buy), AK Steel retains a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Have you experienced those times in life when you're zooming along on a course bound for your destination when suddenly, CLANK-some outside force beyond your control (be it accident, event, circumstance, or someone else's decision or action) changes your direction? Then off you go down another road, one you wouldn't otherwise have traveled. Maybe you're in the midst of a detour right now. The road is rough. The scenery is strange. The landmarks are unfamiliar. Clark Cothern invites you to travel with him on a few of his detours and discover a renewed sense of purpose. Yes, He is Lord of those smooth, wide interstates in your life. But He is also Lord of the detours.
Clark Cothern is the senior pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Adrian, Michigan. A frequent contributor to magazines like Decision, Discipleship Journal, and Leadership, he is also the author of Spirit Controlled Living, Detours and At the Heart of Every… More about Clark Cothern

Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas, "Intimate Modernism: Fort Worth Circle Artists in the 1940s", February 16-May 11, 2008 (label verso).
Scott Grant Barker and Jane Myers, Intimate Modernism: Fort Worth Circle Artists in the 1940s, Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, 2008, p. 79, with a detail used as a frontispiece for one of the main interior sections of the catalog.
Kelly Fearing's quest to depict challenging visual compositions is superbly demonstrated in Jitterbuggers (1939). Painted when Fearing was about twenty-one years old, Jitterbuggers is one of Fearing's most entertaining and successful early works. Differing levels of physicality, improvisation, and spacing among the four couples provided Fearing with four distinctly different tableaus-in-motion. The well-worn dance floor provided a test of balance for artist and dancers alike. What was commonly shared by these young dancers and by Fearing was their unbridled and infectious Saturday night exuberance. The party was well underway and everyone there was just getting started. All of these elements are captured in a carefully constructed snapshot.
In 1941, Fearing returned to the theme of Saturday night dancers with an ambitious oil painting called Maneuvers, a depiction of a USO nighttime street dance in Ruston, Louisiana.

Originally written on San Francisco Giants Baseball (SF Giants... | Last updated 4/29/13
Credit: Steven Robles – SF Giants Rumors Let's be glad it's still early on in the season, because the San Francisco Giants are on a five game losing streak (longest current losing streak in MLB)! They just got swept out of Petco Park by the Padres, and now start a new series tonight in Arizona. The D-Backs are also sending Ian Kennedy to the mound, and he hasn't lost to the Giants in nine straight starts. Let's hope tonight is the night that Kennedy's win streak ends over the Giants, and most importantly the Giants stop this five game skid! The good news is the Giants are only two games out in the NL West, and there are still months of baseball left. It's not the worst thing in the world to see these guys struggle early on, and fight to get back on track. That should only make them stronger down the stretch. Matt Cain is 0-2 with a 6.59 ERA, and still grinding for his first win of the 2013 season. The Giants have lost all five of Cain's starts this year. He's 8-4 in 16 career starts...

After battling injuries and personal problems last season, the 30-year-old Agassi added yet another Grand Slam crown to his resume by capturing the 2001 Australian Open. His powerful performance against Frenchman Arnaud Clement in the Down Under final gave Agassi his second straight Aussie Open title and a third in seven years.
Agassi dismantled the helpless Clement 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 to secure Grand Slam championship number seven, tying him with fellow greats John Newcombe, Mats Wilander and John McEnroe. The Las Vegas resident was already in exclusive company as one of only five career Grand Slam aces after capturing the French Open in 1999. Throw in a 1996 gold medal, and Agassi is the proud owner of the Golden Slam (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, U.S. Open, Olympics).
But, Agassi has actually captured more Aussie Opens than Pete (3-2), and proved his all-around prowess in '99 by running the table at Roland Garros, a place where Sampras probably has no shot at ever winning seven straight matches in one fortnight.
Thanks to his dazzling display of tennis at Melbourne Park, Agassi is back in familiar territory as the world's No. 1 star. After ending 1999 atop the rankings, stopping Sampras' six-year reign as the "King of Swing," and holding the lofty perch in the early part of the 2000 season, Agassi is No. 1 again in the ATP Champions Race.
Agassi opened his 2000 campaign by capturing the Australian Open, but failed to win another tournament until last week in Melbourne. His 2000 season was slowed by injuries, a grueling ATP/Davis Cup schedule, and, of course, a family situation that required him to spend time with his cancer-stricken mother and sister.
Agassi showed signs of a comeback of sorts in December by posting an impressive 4-1 record at the season-ending Masters Cup event in Lisbon. After practically being left for dead prior to the tournament, Agassi traveled to Portugal and rattled off four straight wins at the exclusive eight-man event. Victories came against eventual world No. 1 Gustavo Kuerten, former world No. 1 Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Magnus Norman and Marat Safin, who was No. 1 at the time. Agassi wound up losing in a rematch against Kuerten in the final, but sent a message that he wasn't done yet.
He promptly set off on an intense training regimen to get ready for 2001...specifically the Australian Open, where Agassi's had a great deal of success, to say the least. The tennis icon is 32-3 all-time in Melbourne.
The title run at the Aussie Open also marked the first time that Agassi successfully defended one of his Grand Slam reigns. He also became the first man to repeat Down Under since fellow American Jim Courier turned the trick in 1993.
Agassi, seeded sixth this year in Melbourne, barely broke a sweat against the 15th-seeded Clement, clobbering the upstart Frenchman in 1 hour, 45 minutes. In the process, Agassi avenged his straight-set loss to Clement in the second round of last year's U.S. Open. As a matter of fact, Agassi had dropped two consecutive matches against the Frenchman, who also topped the American last November in Lyon after Agassi retired with an injury, trailing 3-6 after one set. The setback in Lyon marked Agassi's last tournament action before his return in time for the late-November/early-December Masters Cup.
Agassi's seventh Grand Slam title (in 12 finals) moved him ahead of German Boris Becker and Swede Stefan Eberg on that all-time list. It also gave him career title number 46, which leaves Agassi one behind another legend, "Rocket" Rod Laver (47).
In terms of Grand Slam plaudits, Agassi now has eight-time winners Fred Perry, Jimmy Connors, Ken Rosewall and Ivan Lendl in his sights. And the sky could be the limit for the healthy, committed, and, of course, immensely-talented American. If and when Agassi secures Grand Slam number eight, only five more men would stand above him -- Sampras (13), Aussie Roy Emerson (12), Bjorn Borg (11), Laver (11) and Bill Tilden (10).
Agassi has won at least one Grand Slam three years running and has appeared in five of the last eight Grand Slam finals, winning four of 'em. Two years ago, Agassi was clearly the best player in tennis, capturing French and U.S. Opens and losing to Sampras in the Wimbledon final.
Can he duplicate his '99 season in 2001?
Agassi realizes he has squandered some opportunities during his career. He could have been as consistently superior as Sampras. Instead, he is prone to stretches in which he seems to be distracted from the game in a usually self-imposed fashion.
The maturing star knows he should probably be in double-digit Grand Slam wins by now, but his on-court performance has suffered in the past because of things like a courtship and brief marriage to actress Brooke Shields and the "image is everything" marketing stretch.
With his peak physical fitness, rendered on him by personal trainer Gil Reyes, most think Agassi can play another five years on the circuit, if he so chooses.
Agassi still possesses the game's best return-of-serve, and he's still tops in the business at running his opponent ragged with a shot selection that covers every inch of the court. He has said he prefers to make every point one of misery for the player on the other side of the net.
It's hard to say how much grander Agassi's tennis legacy can be.
Will the 16-year pro be able to approach his chief rival -- the 29-year-old Sampras?
When it comes to head-to-head action, Agassi is 12-17 in his career against the mighty Pete. But Andre has won the last two battles, including their most recent one in the 2000 Australian Open semifinals.
Agassi, who continues to defy Father Time, will turn 31 in April. And if he continues to perform like he did in Melbourne, he'll be the favorite at the year's next Grand Slam event -- the late-May/early-June 2001 French Open.

there were a lot off very good entrys this week, it was diffcalt to diside because they were all very relevent to the subject, I can honastly say i dont think there was one i didnt like!
I voted for Cypher after thinking long and hard about it, very powerfull, tones were great and the picture ment somthing personaly to me, i have sceen that to offtern in hosptal corydoors before, im not sure were it was taken but thats what it reminded me off and it envoked powerfull memorys and i think thats what a lot of photography is about, how it makes you feel...
If i could of voted for a second place it would of been jon, again spot on the money with the content of the picute and its relevence to the subject. We have all been there before and you can feel what that woman is feeling. The onely reason the photo didnt get the vote ws because it was lacking some spit and polish as such. It was a little blurred (hey, i know your on a buss there isnt much you can do about that) the crop could of been a little titer and the levels were a little off. It is a realy good photo. Im not nocking it here im just giving the reasons why i didnt vote it no1, if there is a second place you have it
3rd bogdan_albei

Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. Double Fine's second Kickstarter project is coming to an end.

Massive Chalice is Double Fine's turn-based strategy game with fantasy elements. Players will control the fate of a family dynasty over the course of an epic timeline. The gameplay mixes tactical battles with family and kingdom management. Double Fine plans to release the title on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

On Tuesday, the Massive Chalice team released an hour-long roundtable discussion where they go over the gameplay and other aspects of the title. Check it out:

Mint State 1860 Clark, Gruber, & Co. Quarter Eagle1860 $2 1/2 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle MS61 PCGS. K-1, R.4. The issues of Clark, Gruber, & Co. were highly regarded by Colorado banking circles, and they had little competition from other private miners. Colorado firms owned by John Parsons and J.J. Conway struck gold coins, but their production must have been small, since these are extremely rare today. Usually, the coins of Clark, Gruber & Co. imitated their Federal equivalents, as is the case for the 1860 2 1/2 Dollars. CLARK & CO. replaces LIBERTY on the coronet, and PIKES PEAK GOLD DENVER substitutes for UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; these changes circumvent counterfeiting laws. The present honey-gold piece is typically struck in the centers, but peripheral elements are bold, and handling marks are limited to the left obverse field and the field above the eagle. Listed on page 362 of the 2006 Guide Book.(#10135) (PCGS# 10135)

The Classic Doom 3 modification is a remake of the original Doom game, by id Software. The main emphasis is that of bringing the older game up to date in a modern graphics engine. The project makes use of all of Doom 3's advanced graphical features while retaining the feel and gameplay of the original game. The project will only cover the shareware levels due to many reasons that include the following : - We are bored of converting over peoples stuff and want to create something of our own. - The mod started off as a fun way to learn how to mod for Doom 3, and we all feel we have learnt what we need to make our own project. - A more minor reason is the legalities of remaking anything past the freely available shareware episode. Our latest build is version 1.3.1 which is the final version that we plan to release. This version is numbered 1.3.1 to reflect the fact that it has been tested to work with Doom 3 patch release 1.3.1, and thus works both with Doom 3 on steam and windows vista..

Schwarzenegger plays the Terminator, a cyborg assassin sent back in time from the year 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor, played by Hamilton. Biehn plays Kyle Reese, a soldier from the future sent back in time to protect Sarah.
The Terminator topped the American box office for two weeks and helped launch the film career of Cameron and solidify that of Schwarzenegger. Three sequels have been produced: Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), and Terminator Salvation (2009), as well as a television series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008-2009).

Hi all!
I'm from Finland and I started this build just about a year ago... The reason why I haven't posted this here earlier is that for some reason I couldn't register to this forum until the recent update. But let's get to the main thing!
The first idea was to make this out of two e-maxxes joined together with some kind of a bridge(sorry, I can't think of a better word) but after chatting with some people on the finnish rc-forum I decided to go with the Revo chassis because I was already familiar with it cause I have the nitro Revo...
I started searching auctions for revo rollers and got what I was looking for. I had luck because I knew a man who could weld aluminium, so I took two revo 2.5 chassis' and shortened them to a proper size.
(I have to upload my pictures to the internet before I can show them here so pics coming soon)
After I got the chassis' shortened I started working on the bulkheads. I drilled a hole through the back of the rearbulkheads and modified the diffs so that I could run the center driveshaft through the bulkheads so that every tire has traction. And then I crafted a centerpiece where I attatched the gearbox.
To be continued... :P


text: ATHENS - Two weeks ago, freshman Brendan Langley was announced as Georgia's starting cornerback. The word quickly reached the offices of the South Carolina football team, to which Langley had once been committed, before reneging and signing with his home-state team. South Carolina secondary coach Grady Brown, who still had a warm relationship with Langley, passed along his congratulations. It was nice, but considering South Carolina and Georgia were meeting a week later, Langley knew what that meant.

By Tony Ambrogio (@SNTonyAmbrogio) Getty Images Scott Walker took a sip of his coffee, looked me in the eye and laughed, "he's been playing real good for a guy with mono." Just imagine what happens when Matt Finn is healthy again for the Ontario Hockey League's Guelph Storm. The Toronto Maple Leafs selected Finn with the 35th choice in the 2012 NHL draft. The 6-foot, 207 pound defenceman grew up in Toronto – idolizing Mats Sundin and Doug Gilmour, although Bryan McCabe was his favorite player. Finn is an offensive-minded defenseman and is captain of the Storm. He had 18 points in his first 21 games. "I think he's a very smart hockey player," said Walker, in his 3rd season as Guelph head coach. Finn last played November 9th for the Storm. He had been struggling with what the team though was the flu. It turned out to be mononucleosis and Finn is expected back soon. "It's on the back side of it so he had it for a while and we didn't know," said Walker. "We will get him healed

At first I wanted to start this by pretty much saying I'm awesome, but that would be weird right? I'm told by most of my friends that it's something about me that draws people to me, I try to make sure the people that stay are just as positive as I am. I'm truly a Libra, and I feed off of other's emotions, but somehow I always manage to bounce back with a goofy smile on my face. I spend a lot of time in school or somewhere out gaining experience in my field. But outside of that, if you were to call me; you would probably find me somewhere having a crazy adventure in Orlando with my friends, road-tripping with my sorority sisters, or at home with a good movie. I guess you could call me a free-bird. I'm truly in a happy place in my life, I'm friendly, I love to have fun and try new things that will help my creative juices flow. I'm young, but I am finally at the place where I am ready to share all of the goodness in my life with the right guy. I'm looking for someone just as passionate and fun-loving as myself.

Wheeled or backpack? Traveling 2 weeks thru Italy in May with daughters 20, 22 and I am 51. We are all in good health and physically fit. Opinions/ suggestions should we travel with wheeled bags or backpacks?
Wheeled or backpack? Traveling 2 weeks thru Italy in May with daughters 20, 22 and I am 51. We are all in good health and physically fit. Opinions/ suggestions should we travel with wheeled bags or backpacks?
There are pros and cons for both, so it is really a matter of personal preference. I prefer a backpack just because I really like having my hands free. If you are considering a backpack and aren't used to using one, I would try carrying a well packed one around as a trial to make sure the one you are using fits well and is comfortable, and to make sure carrying one doesn't bother you.
I'll use a wheelie when I need a trailer behind my wheelchair, and at 73 I don't anticipate that happening soon.
I travel with a high quality wheeled carry on piece of luggage and a backpack. My wife travels with the wheeled carry on and a big shoulder bag/purse. I long ago decided I'd never lose a piece of luggage in airline baggage, and we never check baggage for any reason. If you're going to travel on any budget carriers, you may have to put the backpack or shoulder bag in the rolling bag. That means we cannot pack it to 100%, and have to leave a little space.
If you happen to rent a car anywherein Europe, chances are the trunk will only hold one carry on per person.
jackie, My first question is what type of luggage are you all using at present? Is there any reason you couldn't use that for your trip to Italy? I prefer using a Backpack as I find it much easier getting around airports, navigating stairs and travelling by train. I always check my main Pack and take a Daypack for carry-on. If you decide to try a Backpack, the MOST important criteria is to be properly fitted according to your torso length. Most of the weight should rest on the hip belt, and not your shoulders. Some other features to look for are a detachable Daypack and stowable harness (can be zipped out of the way during air travel). Have a look at Packs from Osprey or Eagle Creek, as they're both good quality. I believe both of those brands also have "women's fit" models. I don't have a lot of information on best brands of wheelie bags. Rick's bags seem to be popular, but I've never tried them. I would advise NOT using a combination wheelie bag/backpack. Happy travels!
I am a bit older than you and very fit. I happily carry a backpack when we are hiking in the mountains for several days. For travel to Europe, I prefer wheels. Yes, they are noisy on cobblestones but that is usually a short time. I find them awkward and space-consuming in crowds. Too many people are not aware of that space and smack into people with their backpacks--not good. My wheeled bag does have backpack straps that I can use if necessary, but I have not used them since 1999 when we had to walk a mile and a half across Sydney Australia to pick up a rental car. No crowds and no one to smack with the backpack when turning corners, so it was OK. My daughters, 20 and 24, would not be caught dead carrying a backpack in an airport or European city. ( and yet they do go backpacking with us in the mountains, so it is not the principle, but " the look".
I use a carry-on size wheeled Delsey suitcase and an L.L. Bean backpack (not advertising here, just telling you brand names so you can picture my luggage). I can't carry too heavy of a load on my back and prefer to use a suitcase for the majority of my stuff. I'd suggest doing a trial run if possible - pack your luggage before you go on your trip. Then walk around your neighborhood or a mall for 20 or 30 minutes with all your stuff to see what's best, backpack or suitcase. This might seem like overkill but if you really aren't sure, you don't want to find out in Europe that you'd prefer a backpack over a suitcase, for example. Be aware you may have to carry your suitcase down and up flights of stairs if you're changing trains at any time during your trip. I follow Rick's packing list to help me pack light and I have hoofed all my luggage up and down stairs to make a two-minute train connection. It ain't fun but I can do it!
Hello Jackie. If you have a carry - on size bag that is a "backpack", it is not necessary for you to carry it on your back. My carry - on size bag has backpack straps that can be tucked into a wide pocket that is on the back of the bag. For me, it is more comfortable to carry that bag in front of my torso, than to carry it on my back. Many travelers use a carry - on size bag that does not have wheels, as their primary bag. I think a carry - on size bag that has wheels is appreciated when a traveler is bringing it from the airport security scanner to the flight departure gate in a very large airport, such as London's Heathrow airport. But an airport porter could carry the bag. I think some airport porters may go beyond the airport security scanner place. Airports do not have carts for carrying bags between the security scanner place and the flight departure gates. I do not want to bring a wheeled bag to Europe. The wheels cause a bag to be heavy. I do not want to lift a heavy bag up on the rack that is above the seats in a railroad train. And a bag must be carried up and down stairs at some places in Europe. And at many towns in Europe I think the street and sidewalk surfaces are too rough or broken for using a wheeled bag.
I use a 22 inch wheeled bag and love it, wouldn't want to carry a back pack myself although I am not unfit.. its just hard on my back, plus its hot in Italy so don't like any thing against me. And frankly I have been whacked on trains and buses by backpacks,people tend to forget their space allowance and accidently whack people..lol.. I really think that if you have never used a back pack that you should use one at home for a few days before you make that choice, just load it will laundry and walk around your neighborhood , catch a bus ( since you will likely be jumping buses and trains in Italy right) It would be unfortunate to discover you don't really like the weight after you are already in Italy, and just picking it up and trying it on in the store is not a good enough try out..
I liken your choice to skis versus snowboards. Both get the job done. If you have the opportunity, try both loaded and traverse surfaces/stairs typical for your journey. As advised above, always be mindful when underway. If using a backpack don't whack others when turning. If using a wheeled back, don't block stairways in train stations, etc. as you shift from rolling your bag to carrying up/down stairs. My preference is a backpack style bag....travel light, travel fast and travel comfortably.
Jackie, one thing I note when I see these types of threads ( rolling bag versus backpack) is that if you look at replies, its mostly men who will happily endorse backpacks, and mostly women who prefer rolling bags. There are always a few exception, but even on this thread only one woman happily endorsed backpack for longer travel, all other women chose rolling bag for most travels. I think it comes down to some simple physical differences. Women tend to be less comfortable with weight bearing using upper body, we weigh ( generally) under 150 lbs, and men ( generally) weight more then 150 lbs. I suggest that you consider a mixed lot, perhaps your daughters being that much younger could carry backpacks, but I think you may be more comfortable with a rolling bag.
Yes, occasionally I have to lift my bag over ledges and carry it up stairs, but mostly, it rolls, whereas a backpack is always weight you are bearing on your body. Is there anyone who has a backpack you can borrow and you and dd all take turns using it for a FULL day to see how it feels.?
As Leigh said, it is all a matter what you prefer. That being said, there are a number of wheeled backpacks on the market. In a sense you get the best of both worlds. TC
@TC, "That being said, there are a number of wheeled back packs on the marker. In a sense you get the best of both worlds." That's somewhat a matter of conjecture. At one time I thought that was a good idea but after some reflection and listening to a number of people that tried that concept, I've changed my mind. A combination wheelie bag / Backpack has several disadvantages: > The wheel and handle mechanism takes up room, reducing some cargo capacity. > The wheel and handle mechanism adds weight, making it more of an effort for carrying, and with some people the mechanical components "dig into" their back making them uncomfortable (this of course depends somewhat on the specifics of each user and pack design). > The presence of the wheels encourages some people to pack more gear than they might have with a Backpack only, and the added weight can be an issue when the whole lot has to be carried. Cheers!
Speaking for my wife as part of the exceptions group, she loves her backpack.
If you are flying American Airlines, you might want to check their recent announcement about giving non-wheeling carryon passengers (is that a term?) priority for getting on the plane.
Here's an article about American Airlines new Boarding Group 2 policy: http://my.chicagotribune.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-75940901/ (Thanks for mentioning this. My next flight is unfortunately on American.)
So American wants to charge you to check a bag, and punish you for carrying a bag on. Good to know. I will avoid flying with them.
I am about as fit can be, but I would take a rolling bag over a back-pack any day. They are just easier. The few times I have to pick it up, I use the handle provided and carry it up the steps, or put it in the luggage rack. No problem. The thought of having all that weight on my back while I walk from place to place, sounds very unpleasant, and I think I would quickly be quite cranky. Being hit in the head with the packs from fellow travelers on trains, in stores, on the street, etc. drives me up the wall. Most of the time, they don't even know it, as they don't feel it through the pack.
American Airlines announced, May 16, "Passengers that carry only a small bag that can fit under the seat can board in group 2, or the first group after uniformed military and travelers with elite status". I like knowing that American Airlines is trying to make travel more pleasant for people who travel light. The airline flight attendants have not been enforcing the airline's rule about maximum size of carry-on bags. Some passengers put a bag that is longer than the allowed size into an overhead bin, thus other passengers can not put their bag into the bin. But this new policy does not solve that problem. If a passenger can not find space in the overhead bin in an airplane, he/she can always put the bag under his/her seat. I do not like to put my bag under my seat. I put my coat under my seat. And, the airlines say each passenger may put one item in one overhead bin. Some passengers put a bag of maximum size, and a big coat, and big hat, and a very large stuffed animal (toy animal) and big paper sack containing merchandise purchased in an airport, into one overhead bin. That is a problem that needs to be addressed. Oh yeah, if a passenger sees that, he may pull that stuff out of the bin, and set in on the floor in the aisle, causing an obstruction to other people walking in the aisle. I do not wish to do that. If I ask an airline flight attendant to pull an oversized bag out of the overhead bin, and she will try to find the person who owns that bag, and she will ask that person to carry the bag out of the airplane, the airplane's door might be shut before that happens. I really need to carry my bag with me into the airplane's passenger compartment, because my flight arrives at a London airport at about 10:45 p.m. The time when I am in the airport building is later than 11:00 p.m. If I must wait for my bag at the carousel there, I will miss the last shuttle bus (or van) to the hotel that night.
Properly sized quality backpacks work well for us and we carry them easily for significant distances. This is and has been our standard for many international trips. Choose what works for you, whether wheeled bags or backpacks. As with all luggage, one must be conscious of managing same in crowded places. My pet peeve with those using wheeled bags is impeding foot traffic at stairs by stopping and fiddling with the handle and daybag(s) and then struggling at a slow pace to carry all up/down stairs.
I use the Rick Steve's Rolling Backpack, in airports I use the wheels, on cobblestones I convert it to a backpack. It is comfortable on my back and I am able to pack everything I need, I use packing cubes and everything is organized. Even though people make comments about the wheels poking you in the back that does not happen unless a person is extremely obese, I am 6 ft. tall and weigh 200 lbs and the wheels are not an issue. I will concede that you wouldn't want to use this bag for a multi-day mountain trek in the backwoods, but for travel in Europe where your seeing Paris, Rome or Barcelona, etc, then this bag works perfectly for me.
Awwww, the new American Airlines policy is no biggie - they just allow the approx. 7 people with NO carry-on luggage to board first. No big whoop. It's not like they're taking up luggage bin space from the rest of us (duh), or getting freshly-baked cookies that the rest of us don't get. The selling point is that someone is being 'rewarded', when in reality the airlines are constantly looking for ways to speed up their push-back from the gate. It's ALL about gate times for the airlines. The non-carry-on group is simply being 'rewarded' with not having to stand in the aisle during the odd flight when people are having one heck of a time getting their luggage situated. It's not like they're getting better seats - everyone has assigned seats. It means a quicker push-back (by a few minutes) for all of us, and that's always a good thing. I've seen this new policy in action several times now over the last year...and as I said, around 7 people get to waltz down the jetbridge a few minutes earlier than everybody else. I stand there 3 extra minutes and watch. No big deal. Jackie, if any of the three of you is 'prissy' (and you know what I mean...we're both Southern Girls...everything just HAS to be Just So and In Place!) then a backpack won't be for you. If you worry greatly that the backpack strap might be wrinkling your shirt...don't use one. Trust me - you won't look like a lumberjack or a pack mule ;-) You'll only feel like one. (cont.)
(cont.) Jackie, I very much prefer a backpack to a roller bag. I DO use a roller bag domestically at times, but I'll use a backpack as long as possible in Europe and elsewhere. Both hands are free (for climbing into trains, going up/down stairs, eating, shopping, holding an umbrella, carrying a shopping bag, etc.) and I can't possibly leave my bag behind. I'm always surprised how often that happens to people! I guess there are many distractions...The main thing is to be sure you've got a good bag that fits you - I'd spend good money on one with a good waistbelt. I didn't say you should have to spend a lot on a good bag - $100-150 should get you LOTS of choices, and you would spend even less money on sale. I'm only emphasizing the importance of a good waistbelt. No, or bad, waistbelt = no deal. For me, they make or break the backpack. Use your sternum strap, too. You'll notice a huge difference in how the bag rides. You really shouldn't notice you're wearing one. Honestly. Of course, you're very aware the first couple of days... DO be aware at all times that you're carrying a suitcase on your back! It's not cool to smack peeps with it, and the shopkeepers really don't like to see you coming :-( Take it off when entering a store with narrow aisles and/or expensive trinkets. Likewise, pay attention to where your roller bag is! I get irritated when yours runs over my foot, falls over into my path, or you stop suddenly and 14 of us frantically scramble to avoid tripping over it and/or you because you're oblivious to the fact that you're taking up space for 3 people @:-/ And puhlease don't slowly amble down the airport concourse/city sidewalk like it's a sunny Sunday afternoon stroll and the entire space is yours for zigzagging your way. Backpack or roller bag - walk in a predictable, straight line ;-) Lecture over!
I'm another woman who prefers a backpack-style bag. I spent about 7 years using a true backpack, then switched a couple of years ago to the Tom Bihn Aeronaut, which is more suitcase-y and can also be carried with a shoulder strap or by the handle when I'm not wearing it on my back. In both cases, a waist strap made a big difference in wearing the bag comfortably for long walks through airports and on city streets. It's true that when you wear a backpack, you have to be aware of how much more room you take up, but I found that equally true when I was dragging a wheeled bag behind me, and I was always tripping over the wheeled bag. On mass transit, I just shrug off the backpack and brace it between my feet -- that's the polite thing to do anyhow.
@Eileen, "Likewise, pay attention to where your roller bag is! I get irritated when yours runs over my foot, falls over into my path, or you stop suddenly and 14 of us frantically scramble to avoid tripping over it and/or you because you're oblivious to the fact that you're taking up space for 3 people" I most definitely agree!!! I've lost count of the number of times I've followed two people walking beside each other through airports or along jetways, both with those goofy wheelie bags and totally oblivious to others (especially those behind them). They've been chatting and ambling slowly along, and I've almost tripped over the bags. So many times I've been tempted to give those @#$% wheelie things a swift kick! In many of those cases I've been jet lagged and rushing to make a connecting flight, so I don't have a lot of tolerance for slow pokes. Cheers!
LOL, Ken! I loved the "@#$%" 2 lines above a light-hearted "Cheers!" ;-) And I definitely agree with Micky - take your backpack OFF on mass transit! For me, it's mostly about safety - I know no one is helping themselves to my stuff when it's on the floor (or on top of my feet) in front of me, but if you don't - plenty of people will start pantomiming for you to take it off! No one likes getting smacked by a backpack.

What is the silliest thing you have cried over or teared up to since the pregnancy began. For me, I cried at the movie Independence Day when the president gave his speech before they headed out to destroy the aliens. It gave me goosebumps and i teared up because I just thought the speech was so beautiful!
Things to cry over?

EVERY-DAMN-THING... I'm not kidding. I cry every single frickin' day on the way to work because of some stupid sappy song I hear on the radio. I cry watching commercials. I cried while watching the golf U.S. Open final round yesterday!! I hate hormones. hahaha

I'm not usually very emotional at movies but this weekend we went to X-Men and there's a scene where one guy has a memory of just being with his mother and I totally started crying. There was absolutely no reason at that point in the movie, for me on a normal day at least!
toy story 3 and an extremely goofy movie....both about sons growing up and going to college...CRIED MY EYES OUT

I almost cried this morning when my husband gave me a hug because I am feeling so awful with m/s. But I teared up watching The Incredibles yesterday when the little baby is being taken away by the bad guy and the mom says "throw me" it was such a selfless and insinctive mommy thing to say and do putting herslef in danger for her baby.

I also cried over an episode of dogs 101 about puppies. The whelping mama dog got to me.

I cried when my baby turned 2 last month. She's growing up too fast!
I cried watching a Pampers commercial with newborn babies.
I heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time today and I cried. That was so unexpected!
A couple days ago I cried because I wanted cupcakes. This morning I almost cried because at like 2:30 last night I woke up craving Coco Krispies... I honestly don't even know if they exist anymore. So I woke my husband up and asked him if he would go to the store in the morning and get me some. He said he would but when I woke up this morning he was gone to work already and there were no Coco Krispies.
I cried when my mac and cheese didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.

With my first pregnancy there was a commercial with this mommy horse and baby horse running through a field. I don't even know what it was for, but it made me cry so hard.
