The Lake boots' upper is comprised of a waterproof membrane and a Neoprene-like material. A molded plastic cap covers your toes and a heal counter secures the back of the shoe. Lake's BOA lacing system uses one ratchet to secure the boot, and the ankle-length cuff with a Velcro closure seals the top of the shoe. The sole is made from a fiberglass-injected nylon and is compatible with three-bolt cleats.
Ensuring good blood circulation is one of the key elements to staying warm in the winter, and Lake aids your circulation for allowing wiggle room in the roomy toe box and mid-foot, even while wearing thick wool socks. The shoe's interior felt voluminous when I first pulled the boots on, but the lacing system made them comfortable snug, and could have been made tighter for a cyclist with smaller feet.
These boots are a great addition to your winter riding arsenal, but they're not perfect for every temperature. Test rides ranged from balmy (mid-30s) to frigid (colder than 15 degrees). While much warmer and more comfortable than a standard cycling shoe/bootie combination, in temperatures around freezing the boots and warm socks were all I needed to return home from long rides with happy toes. However, when the mercury dipped closer to the 10-degree mark, I needed to stretch regular neoprene booties over the boots to keep warm.—Andrew J. Bernstein

And this?
And this?
Also diagnosed as House Syndrome, I think?
What ever it is, we've got a baaaad case.
Dear C. Jane
Ever gets asked to the Prom when I'm not looking.
C. Jane's Guide to Provo:
HOT Night on the Town!
That Ever-girl has KILLER eyebrows!!
Talk about cabin fever...we have been shut down for for days in Atlanta-no school, no work because of a huge(for us) snow/ice storm. Warm weather comes tomorrow-woot,woot!
Happy Winter!
Another sympathizer from Atlanta...day FOUR of no school, looking like day five tomorrow, and then AWESOME! We get Monday off!
True, true to what Sara said......Ever's eyebrows are awesome. She has such expression for such an itty~bitty!
Great shots!
Wow, and Ever is flipping people off ... Maybe an outing is in order!
Ever's picture cracks me up! Cute girl.
Ever looks soooo much like The Chief! And i've got Cabin fever too. :\. NO fun.
Cabin fever always gets me too. Sometimes I just gotta get out. Anywhere will do!
You have the cutest kids.
Adorable as ever. Or adorable As Ever!!!
Love. It's been like that here. Love the last pic - that look on Ever's face is hilarious! Here's to drying out soon!
Am I the only one happy to be snowbound? All classes cancelled, no carpooling, no rushing off here, there and everywhere! I hope we get another two feet!
(Those Kids + Photos = Adorbs)
Ever is amazing.
Yeah, us too. I'm over winter.
Every year around this time I get the urge to pile the kids into the minivan and start driving south to better weather.
that fave on Ever is a riot! :)
I am laughing. so hard. love that Ever face.
(I have post-baby/too cold cabin fever. So over the snow.)
That picture of Ever is THE money shot! She is so dang cute!!
Did you finally put some blinds up??
Did you finally put some blinds up??
You have NO idea. And, my verification word is rombommo. That about says it all.
i LOVE these pictures. some of my favorite ever. you capture life, so, so well. hats off to you.
HA HA HA!! Don't get me wrong, the first few pictures are cute and I'm identifying with them greatly...but when my cursor scrolled down and that sweet little Ever popped up, I LAUGHED OUT LOUD. Soooooo funny, that look on her face! :) We have been dealing with snow here, too, 10-15 inches across the city...and today we woke up to NEGATIVE 6 degrees. I don't do cold, and I certainly DON'T do negative digits. Ugh. At least the kids finally got to go back to school and I can relax and not find 42 things to keep them busy. Love them, but it was time to go back.
Did you notice not only is Ever cute and making a hilariously funny face...but she flipping everyone off, too! Love it!
we are currently have terrible devasting floods in Brisbane Australia. We are suffering from Cabin Fever because we've been asked to stay indoors off flooded roads and out of the rescuers way etc!! The river is receeding today. Hopefully by Monday some people can go back to work.
I was already giggling at your pictures and that last one with Ever just about had me laughing out loud. Thanks! I needed that. We have been home since Sunday due to snow so I feel ya!
your babies are funny and cute.
Edina MN Realty | Gift Baskets
Those pictures are GREAT!! We had 3 snow days in a row here! The kids couldn't go outside to play in the snow because the temperature was -16 degrees for the high. We are THRILLED to have 30 degree days again!!
Ugh, being house-bound sounds so nice sometimes until it happens, for months, and then it's just pure craziness! It is funny though, how inventive little toddlers can be with the weirdest objects!
This weblog is being featured on Five Star Friday: http://www.schmutzie.com/fivestarfriday/2011/1/14/five-star-fridays-134th-edition-is-brought-to-you-by-flann-o.html
OMGoodness! Chup and Ever totally have the same look on their faces! We've got our own outbreak of cabin fever over here, too ...
Just a question: Do you answer all your email?

2008 Maybach 57 Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2008 Maybach 57 Base Sedan at this time
2008 Maybach 57 Base Sedan cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
To those that may have lived in the area and are old enough to remember it, the current feelings amongst some in the community about building a new Carbon County Courthouse in a different place than where it stands today is nothing new. In 1955, just two years before the present courthouse's construction commenced, voters in the area rejected a bond to build it, replacing the old structure which had been built in the early 1900s.
However, it wasn't the first time that the county had looked at constructing a new courthouse building. In 1946 the county purchased a piece of ground (where the USU Eastern Burtenshaw dorms are now located) with plans to build a new courthouse there. At the time the cry came down from citizens from the area around where it would be located as well as throughout the county that they did not think that was an appropriate spot for a new facility. There wasn't much of a struggle, however, because the thought was for the future. At that time the 1909 courthouse was still adequate for the needs of the county.
"...at that time the issue of whether or not a new building was needed, along with the question of as to where it would be located, brought the whole matter up against an insurmountable mindset and the matter was pretty well forgotten until more recently," reported the Sun Advocate on Nov. 10, 1955. The paper went on to report that the Parkdale property that had been purchased "...aroused a series of protests which almost nullified any argument for a new building and there the matter rested until several months ago."
The difference was that by the mid-1950s the old structure was deteriorating badly. It was leaking in various places. It was cold in the winter and hot in the summer. It was not big enough to accommodate the growth of government that had blossomed during the population boom that was taking place in those years. On top of that in August of that year the ceiling in the county surveyors office collapsed raining wall board and concrete on the desks of county workers, who had just left the room a couple of minutes before. It proved either renovation or new construction was needed.
So the county fathers looked to build a new building, and they didn't want to move out of the old one before the new one was done. They still had the Parkdale property, but decided after the problems in the 1940s with thoughts of trying to get a bond passed to build it there, they would be no more successful a decade later. Finally the Sun Advocate reported in the fall that John Redd, who owned an automobile dealership in Price, offered to sell a piece of property on 100 North and Carbon Avenue to the county for the facility. Others argued with the idea of purchasing that piece of property because they thought that the new building should be built where the old one was located.
"The commissioners, upon the counsel of the architect, maintain that it would be too costly to provide temporary quarters for the county offices while the new building is under construction, and that it would be impossible to build a new structure around the old building and conduct county business without interruption in the process," reported the paper in November.
So a $370,000 bond was put to a vote on Nov. 15. The money was to be used to supplement $211,000 that the county already had on hand to build the new structure.
However, the voters didn't see eye-to-eye with the county fathers. In a very light turnout, citizens rejected the bond 596-515.
"It is estimated that only about an eighth of the eligible taxpaying voters in the county had interest enough in this important issue to turn out and cast their ballots," the Sun Advocate scolded citizens on Nov. 17. "The vote was not proportionately heavy in any of the county's 29 precincts."
It was the first time that voters had ever turned down a county bond since the county was formed. Officials were shocked.
"The consensus of opinion seems to be that the bond itself was not defeated," stated the paper that day. "...but rather the vote was against the proposed location of the new building."
The two arguments in the election against construction were a combination location and the fact that many felt Redd wanted too much for the property on 100 North.
The next week, when the county commission met, they were in a quandary as to what to do. All technical advise had said they should move the location and not repair the building that was already standing. But it was obvious most people understood the need for a new building, but not somewhere else.
What could they do? For the next six months they stewed about it and at the same time held meetings with various citizen groups. They came away with a plan that they knew could get approved by voters for the same amount of money, but with the change in that the new courthouse would go where the old one stood. During the time of construction they formulated a plan to put the county offices in the Price City Hall across the street. It was something they had not considered originally.
On June 12, 1956, the voters approved nearly the same bond with the location of the new building being the only major change. Again turnout was light with only 731 votes cast this time. However only 164 of those votes opposed the bond.
In early 1957, county workers moved out, and demolition of the grand old courthouse began. And then on that site rose the new building, the one in evidence today.
The one that is in the throws of controversy once again.


text: Fire erupts from a parked car at the East Carbon Medical Clinic Friday shortly before fire fighters arrive. (Below) East Carbon and Sunnyside fire fighters including Gene Madrid, Cody Valdez and Darwin Christensen work to subdue the blaze East Carbon Police Chief Sam Leonard first spotted the blaze at about 8:45 a.m. during his morning patrol. "Once I saw that it was a car fire I began moving the public away as I had no way of knowing just how much fuel the vehicle was carrying," said the chief. Local fire personnel were able to put the blaze down, which originated in the vehicle's front end before any fuel in the tank ignited. Leonard reported that the red passenger vehicle belonged to an employee of the clinic and that the cause of the blaze was still under investigation.

Pilocarpine ophthalmic Side Effects
It is possible that some side effects of pilocarpine ophthalmic may not have been reported. These can be reported to the FDA here. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical advice.
For the Consumer
Applies to pilocarpine ophthalmic: ophthalmic device, ophthalmic gel/jelly, ophthalmic solution, ophthalmic suspension
As well as its needed effects, pilocarpine ophthalmic may cause unwanted side effects that require medical attention.
If any of the following side effects occur while taking pilocarpine ophthalmic, check with your doctor or nurse as soon as possible:Symptoms of too much medicine being absorbed into the body
- Increased sweating
- muscle tremors
- nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- troubled breathing or wheezing
- watering of mouth
- Eye pain
Some pilocarpine ophthalmic side effects may not need any medical attention. As your body gets used to the medicine these side effects may disappear. Your health care professional may be able to help you prevent or reduce these side effects, but do check with them if any of the following side effects continue, or if you are concerned about them:More common
- Blurred vision or change in near or far vision
- decrease in night vision
- Eye irritation
- headache or browache
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to pilocarpine ophthalmic: compounding powder, ophthalmic gel, ophthalmic insert, ophthalmic solution
The results of small studies have suggested that patients with depression or Alzheimer's disease may have greater sensitivity to the muscarinic effects of pilocarpine.[Ref]
Ocular side effects with the ophthalmic gel or solution have included lacrimation, burning, local discomfort, temporal or supraorbital headache, ciliary spasm, conjunctival vascular congestion, superficial keratitis, and induced myopia. Reduced visual acuity in poor illumination is frequently experienced in older individuals and in those with lens opacity. A subtle corneal granularity was observed in approximately 10% of patients. Cases of retinal detachment have been associated with the use of miotic agents, especially in young myopic patients. Lens opacity may occur after prolonged use of this drug. Ocular reactions usually occur during initiation of therapy and often will not persist with continued use.
Ocular side effects with pilocarpine ocular inserts have included ciliary spasm (often resulting in transient myopia), local irritation, corneal abrasions, and visual impairment. In some cases, local irritation, allergic reactions, or induced myopia necessitates cessation of therapy. Cases of retinal detachment have been associated with the use of miotic agents, especially in young myopic patients. Some patients may experience conjunctival irritation, including mild erythema with or without increased mucous secretion near the initiation of therapy that tends to subside with continued use. Although rare, increased pilocarpine effect has been observed during therapy.[Ref]
General side effects have included sweating and gastrointestinal overactivity in rare circumstances.[Ref]

Colville opens
State 1A softball against Hoquiam
Colville High (20-3), after dominating Lakeside all season long, fell to their Northeast A League nemesis 7-5 last Saturday afternoon in the District 6-7 regional title game at Vaagen Park in Colville.
The Indians and Eagles both advance to the State 1A Tournament Friday and Saturday at the Columbia Playfields in Richland. Okanogan and Cascade also advanced to State from the typically weak Caribou-Trail League.
Colville will open the double elimination tournament on Friday at noon against Hoquiam.
Lakeside, despite its top seed, looks to be in the tougher of the two brackets. The Eagles will open against Riverview at 10 a.m. on Friday.
Lakeside looks to be in the tougher of the two brackets
LHS has defending State 1A champion Connell, and perennial 1A powers Montesano and Castle Rock in their upper bracket.
"Lakeside is tough," Colville head coach Mandy Sumner said of the Nine Mile Falls club. "But they are going to need the tournament of their lives to make it up through (their bracket)."
That fact certainly hasn't been lost on a CHS coaching staff that realizes the Indians will have to shore up some issues that cropped up on Saturday in the Lakeside loss.
"The Hoquiam game will be tough for us," CHS Sumner added. "They have been playing well. I like our chances there, but we need to shore up our defense."
Colville booted it around with alacrity in the regional tournament against Okanogan (17-0 CHS win) and Lakeside.
"You know what we will be focusing on this week in practice," Sumner added. "We are gunning for a state championship. If we play to our potential, we have a great shot. But we need to clean up some things."
Certainly, Colville has the veteran line-up to make a deep run.
"We have girls who have been there," Sumner said. "They aren't intimidated or scared of anyone. We know we are capable of beating any team in the field.
"But it's back to study hall this week. Our pitching and defense must be tougher going into the state tournament."
In addition to the veteran talent, Colville's sophomores have been productive all season long--Wittmeyer, Cabbage and Hinds.
"For their first year full-time on the varsity, they have done a great job and have been a huge part of this," Sumner pointed out.
In the regional tournament, Hinds was 4 for 6. Cabbage was 5 for 8 and Wittmeyer (4 for 6) blasted a pair of home runs.
Colville senior right-hander Jo Rogers had a rough outing against Lakeside in the championship, giving up 11 hits, including a long two-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to Eagles' freshman Madi Naccarato that decided it.
Rogers didn't get a whole lot of defensive support behind her (five errors).
Colville never led in the finale against Lakeside after the Eagles loaded the bases in the top of the first and led 2-0 on a two-run single up the middle.
Colville's final out in the inning came at the plate.
The Indians threatened in the bottom of the first inning with singles by second baseman April Hinds and Jammie Madonna with two out. But a pop-up ended the threat.
In the top of the second inning, third baseman Tasji Urhausen made one of a handful of outstanding plays at the hot corner, taking a hard line drive on the short hop and throwing to first base from her knees to get the out.
Colville got McKenna Cabbage, who opened the inning with a two-out walk and got all the way to third base on a steal and a Lakeside error. But a strikeout by Lakeside pitcher Vanessa Ahrendt ended another threat.
Urhausen came up big again on defense in the top of the third when she snagged a smoked line drive and doubled off the Lakeside runner at second base.
In the bottom of the third, Colville shortstop and lead-off hitter Taylor Kellum was aboard on a single and quickly stole second base. She came home on another Lakeside infield error and CHS trailed 2-1.
Consecutive singles by Rogers and Madonna put runners aboard with two outs. But Ahrendt induced a pop-up and Lakeside escaped once again.
In the top of the fifth, Leanna Carr turned in another stellar defensive play, taking away an extra base hit when the CHS junior right-fielder ranged to her right to backhand a hard-hit line drive that was heading for the gap and the centerfield fence.
Two-out single
But Lakeside continued to exert pressure on Rogers and the Colville defense. A bases loaded, two-out single plated two more runs and Colville trailed 4-1.
Two more Colville errors conspired to plate another LHS run in the top of the sixth inning.
Colville answered in the bottom of the sixth inning on a two out, two RBI single up the middle by first baseman McKenna Cabbage.
Wittmeyer, one of the smallest players on the field, then chased Cabbage home with her second home run of the afternoon—a two-run shot over the leftfield fence that tied the game at 5-5.
But Naccarato crashed her two-run home run over the leftfield fence in the top of the seventh and Lakeside got a little revenge over a Colville team that has pretty much owned them this season to date.
In the opener against overmatched Okanogan, Colville plated two runs in the first inning when Hinds hit a two-out triple to the right-field fence and Madonna followed with a "No doubter" two-run home run over the centerfield fence.
In the bottom of the second, DP Chloe Baughn hit her first home run of the season, a solo shot over the center-field fence.
Wittmeyer's two-run home run made it 5-0 and the Indians were off and running. A Hinds RBI single made it 6-0.
Colville continued to pile it on in the bottom of the third inning. Cabbage led off with a single and Wittmeyer followed with an RBI single to make it 7-0. Urhausen laced a two-run single to make it 9-0 and the rout was on.
Lakekside downed Chelan 21-3 in their first game last Saturday in Colville. The Eagles blasted Cascade 14-2.
Cascade scored 13 runs in the third inning on the way to an 18-0 rout of Newport and the third seed.
In opening round games Friday at Columbia Playfield in Richland, Okanogan will open against Montesano at 10 a.m. In other 10 a.m. openers, Meridian will oppose defending champion Connell and Cedar Park Christian will take on another pre-tourney favorite,Castle Rock.
In noon games, Hoquiam will play Colvillle, Zillah will oppose Nooksack Valley, Cascade will play Orting and Lyden Christian will oppose Onalaska.
The tournament championship will be decided at 2:30 pm. on Saturday.

ORONO (NEWS CENTER) - UMaine baseball pitched nine innings of shutout baseball, but couldn't muster any offense either and eventually fell in 10 innings to Stony Brook by a 1-0 final, snapping their nine-game win streak.
The loss drops the Black Bears to 24-15 on the year and 13-4 in the America East, still tops in the league.
They'll host Hartford next weekend.
The University of Maine softball team (7-34, 3-9 America East) dropped both games of a doubleheader to Stony Brook on Sunday afternoon. The Black Bears fell in game one 4-2 before dropping game two 3-2 in 15-innings. Maine's Jean Stevens blasted her league leading 12th home run in game one to lead the Maine offense.
Game 2 was a tough pitchers dual. South Portland's Alexis Bogdanovich was tagged with the tough loss after going 9.2 innings in relief while giving up just one run on eight hits.

Companion forum thread to:The Beautiful CupAnd full disclosure: I prefer my coffee khaki. It's so adulterated that Mike probably wouldn't deign to recognize it as coffee any longer. It's hard to live with myself sometimes, but then I make some more. MMMM!
Edited by addiebedford on 09/07/2010 14:42:54 MDT.
Finally! The kind of beautifully illustrated, informative and humorously written article that I signed up to BPL for. If I had to read one more article on yet another UL down jacket I was going to scream.
Hi Addie,Your khaki beverage is what we professionals call "gateway" coffee. Somewhere out there, in the hazy caffeinated distance, is an Addie savoring double espressos prepared by some half-addled Bozeman barista who's a WBC runnerup. Trust me, it'll happen.As a coda to Mike's fine piece, a shoutout to Starbucks' Via. It has simplified my camp coffee fiddling considerably. Now, if they'd just come up with some bulk packaging.Cheers,Rick
Edited by halfturbo on 09/07/2010 17:22:10 MDT.
When i want some coffee while hiking i use senseo coffee podsi put one in my cup, poor the boiling water on it, and press it with my spoon 2-3 times in 1-2 min.but the sad truth is if i hike with more than a few days of food in my backpack , i skip coffee to save weight.
i just use a merino sock in the morning ... just adds to the taste ... there's a reason why i buy my socks black ...
Not all that interested in exotic coffee in the bush (sad for an Italian...) but if Mike did an article on toe nail fungus (with illustrations) I would read that too.No I don't have problems with my feet.Franco
What's wrong with NesCafe? :)
I like a little bit of coffee with my cream and sugar. Still taking real grounds in the backcountry.
Good article, worth reviving.Via is pretty awesome stuff, though Forrest McCarthy demonstrated good cowboy coffee the other week. He puts the (super fine) grounds in the pot before it boils, and boils it a wee bit. Helps accelerate sinkage, at the risk of (excessive) scourching. Good mixed with swiss miss for a turbo backcountry mocha on cold mornings.
Also agree with Via. Both Columbian and Italian are good, easy coffee solutions. One stick worked well in my Trappers Mug.Last Spring my wife and I tried the Starbucks Double Shots in the can. Those are powerful! Fun for a quick overnighter when you need to hurry back to your transportation in the morning.Thanks for an informative report. Great drawings!
instant coffee is easy and light (and usually crappy tasting!), w/ the advent of Via it makes it an easy choice what I'm carrying for my caffeine fix :)
Via is the best instant coffee I've drunk. That's the good news. The bad news? It's still tastes like instant coffee, a far cry from good cowboy coffee or French-press style coffee. There's an easy way to do French press coffee - get a Jetboil with the French press accessory. Maybe not BPL-correct but wonderful high octane coffee. And Jetboil is coming out with a smaller cup, available in titanium, that gets the set's weight down to about ten ounces or so. But the original works so well that it's in my pack even on solo trips.
Good artcle. I'm really happy with my MontBells O.D. Compact Dripper. Again, not the most amazing coffee, but it works on the trail and I prefer it to the MSR drip filter.
Cowboy is the only way to go if you like it strong.Easy...no extra gear to carry and I always have fresh grounds in the house. And does the trick so much better after a night of whiskey and beer! I do a handful of unplanned 24 hour trips per month; hunting, drinking with friends, out with my kids, whatever the occasion...I've never cared for backpacking food/drink menus that require buying stuff I normally don't stock in the kitchen or eat regularly. Much easier if I can just raid the pantry and go...so cowboy it is.Nice boing marks Mike!I'm always bummed getting my new Climbing magazines and not seeing your work anymore...
I cold brew concentrated coffee for regular daily use using a Toddy Cold Brew System (http://www.toddycafe.com). About 1oz to 2oz of my concentrate, diluted with hot or cold water does the trick for me. 6oz of concentrate weighs 180g plus the container to hold it, yielding as many as 6 cups of hot or cold coffee. You can use pretty much any ground coffee, but I find French Market brand tastes the best. The chicory does it for me.If I can't have that, I use NesCafe, but I use the version that's imported from Greece. It's a bit stronger.
Been experimenting with this process, and I am hooked. Cowboy coffee to the next order! The process usually calls for multiple boilings and is outlined well here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_coffee#Preparation
Critical article, but missed one of my staple pieces of kit:Primus makes a French Press insert which fits several of their current generation of 1 liter LiTech Al kettles.I use it quite successfully with their previous generation 1 liter pot, too. I know, a bit heavier than ultralighter's would consider with their Ti kettles, but the Primus anodized Al seems bullet proof. I've had 2 for *years*, and plan on passing them down to my grandchildren (but not soon!). Also, one further important use for high quality coffee beans on the trail -- barter! After fully supplying the adult crew with morning Java for the whole of my son's 2 week Philmont trek, I had enough Peet's left our last night at one of the high base camps to trade the staff for 2 dozen doughnuts. Boy was I popular, both with our kids & adults, and the high base camp staff!
"Finally! The kind of beautifully illustrated, informative and humorously written article that I signed up to BPL for. If I had to read one more article on yet another UL down jacket I was going to scream."+1. Well said, Joe. We need more of these kind of articles!
Fun article with great illustrations!I really like Java Juice and Starbucks Via, but they are a bit pricey. I wonder if there's a way to take bean coffee, grind it really really fine and fill those empty tea bags you can find in specialty stores with your own grind.I didn't realize I was committing a crime by adding sugar and cream to my coffee! LOL Please - I beg you: don't call the Coffee Police on me!!
And I agree with Joe. I was getting overwhelmed with the down jacket reviews, too. :)

The Franklin Police Department is located in City Hall on the court square in Franklin, GA. It is a modern, well-educated, highly competent department consisting of both sworn and civilian personnel. We value high integrity, the community Policing philosophy and continually strive for excellence in all that we do. In this regard, our primary focus is protecting and serving our citizens with the highest possible levels of commitment, to obligation by all members of the Department. As the City of Franklin continues to grow, the department will progress in order to persistently exceed the needs and expectations of our residents, visitors, and employees. Most importantly, the cornerstone of the Franklin Police Department is to continually deliver service with honesty, integrity, respect, teamwork, professionalism, and loyalty.
The Franklin Police Department and Heard County Sheriff's Department want to remind motorist to be extra careful and expect longer commute times, due to student's traveling to and from school. Planning ahead for your commute will undoubtedly save time, lower frustration levels, increase levels of alertness and improve safety for yourself and loved ones. In addition to allowing enough travel time, take a moment to do simple things such as identifying the school zones, the time frames that they are active, the locations of pedestrian crossings and school bus pick up times along the routes you travel. This will enable motorist to plan their daily commute efficiently. Other tips for the start of the school year include:
Riding the Bus
Walking and Biking to School
Before and After School Adult Supervision
"The start of a new school year is often chaotic, as many of us modify our schedule to adjust to students returning to school. We ask that you remain alert and aware when traveling through school zones and be mindful of buses making frequent stops to pick up students," stated Chief Kevin Hannah of the Franklin Police Department.
"Intersections in and around schools are often dangerous, due to the increased amount of traffic. Each year we respond to motor vehicle accidents at the intersection of Franklin Parkway and Main Street, located in front of the Heard County High School. Investigations have indicated the primary cause for the majority of these accidents has been the driver traveling from Franklin Parkway onto Main Street, failing to yield to oncoming traffic. Motorists are encouraged to remain patient and allow the intersection to clear before completing their turn onto Main Street," continued Chief Hannah.
"I encourage each and every one of our students to take their education seriously. Obtaining a great education is a major stepping stone in your futures. I am so proud of the group of educators, support staff, and school board leaders we have in Heard County and thanks each of them for their sincere dedication to their profession and to our students," added Sheriff Ross Henry.
The Franklin Police Department now accepts online payments for traffic tickets. Please click on the image above or CLICK HERE to make your payment online.

Gas Jumps to 13-Week High After Bigger-Than-Forecast Supply Drop
March 7 (Bloomberg) -- Natural gas futures climbed to a 13-week high in New York after a government report showed that U.S. inventories fell by more than forecast last week as cold weather boosted demand.
Gas rose 3.2 percent after the Energy Information Administration said stockpiles fell 146 billion cubic feet in the week ended March 1 to 2.083 trillion, sending a year-over-year deficit to the widest gap since July 2008. Analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg showed a decline of 132 billion cubic feet. Below-normal temperatures swept across most of the U.S. last week, according to Commodity Weather Group LLC.
"You are still driven mostly by Mother Nature and that can be a huge deviation," said Kyle Cooper, director of research with IAF Advisors in Houston. "You have a bullish year-on-year comparison and there is a lot of upward momentum in the market."
Natural gas for April delivery gained 11.2 cents to $3.582 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest settlement price since Dec. 6. Trading volume was 53 percent above the 100-day average at 2:42 p.m. The futures have risen 6.9 percent this year.
April $3.25 puts were the most active gas options in electronic trading. They declined 1.3 cents to 1 cent per million Btu on volume of 721 contracts at 2:43 p.m. Puts accounted for 51 percent of options volume.
Spread Narrows
The discount for April contracts to October, a gauge of summer demand for gas, narrowed 2.1 cents to 19.7 cents, the least since Dec. 18. The discount over the past month has been at its narrowest compared with any April-October spread for the same period going back to 2004.
The stockpile decrease was bigger than the five-year average decline for the week of 107 billion cubic feet, EIA data show. Supplies fell by 92 billion during the same period last year. The previous winter was the fourth-warmest on record for the lower 48 states, which reduced demand amid record production.
A surplus to the five-year average narrowed to 14.8 percent from 16 percent the previous week. Gas supplies were also 14.8 percent below year-earlier inventories, compared with 12.1 percent in last week's report.
The bigger-than-expected withdrawal from storage is indicative of the cold snap last week and a seasonal shutdown of nuclear generation, said Stephen Schork, president of Schork Group Inc., a consulting group in Villanova, Pennsylvania. "It's maintenance season and we have less electrons being fired up by the nukes so that is steering demand toward natural gas."
Nuclear Plants
Output from U.S. nuclear plants today totaled 86,034 megawatts, or 84 percent of capacity, according to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission data compiled by Bloomberg. Production has fallen 10 percent from this year's high reached on Feb. 1.
A wet, windy storm may drop 4 to 6 inches (15 to 12 centimeters) of snow in Boston and 1 to 3 inches may accumulate in New York City after dark, according to the National Weather Service in Taunton, Massachusetts.
The outlook for the eastern third of the U.S. turned colder for March 12 through March 16 with below-normal temperatures spreading from the Midwest and into the mid-Atlantic states, according to MDA Weather Services. The Gaithersburg, Maryland-based company said a "much warmer pattern" is developing for the Midwest, East and South in the 11- to 15-day forecast.
About 50 percent of U.S. households use gas for heating, data show from the EIA, a unit of the Energy Department.
Cold March
A 30-day outlook published by MDA last week suggested that U.S. cumulative heating degree days, a measure of weather-driven gas demand, will rise to 655 in March, the most for the month since 1999, Teri Viswanath, director of commodities strategy at BNP Paribas SA in New York, said in an e-mail yesterday.
Viswanath expects gas inventories to drop to 1.92 trillion cubic feet at the end of March, when the heating season winds down, 5 percent lower than her previous estimate of 2.021 trillion. A widening year-over-year supply deficit will support cash-market prices, which may "prevent a seasonal selloff in futures," she said.
U.S. gas production in December fell for the first time in four months, capping the slowest annual growth rate in three years, according to the monthly EIA-914 report on Feb. 28. Output slipped 0.7 percent to 82.57 billion cubic feet a day as operators in Louisiana, Texas and the Gulf of Mexico shut wells. Production rose 0.6 percent from December 2011.
The boom in oil and natural gas output helped the U.S. meet 84 percent of its energy needs in the first 11 months of last year, government data show. If the trend continued through 2012, it will be the highest level of self-sufficiency since 1991.
