We've been covering Rebecca Minkoff's handbag line practically since its inception-she created the beloved Morning After bag in 2005, we started WhoWhatWear.com less than a year later-and know that you're probably deeply familiar with its many celebrity-adored styles. While the bags are fabulous and only continue to get better, today we'd like to shift the spotlight to a different aspect of Minkoff's company, specifically her F/W 11 ready-to-wear collection. Comprised of the designer's smartly executed take on must-have pieces, ranging from a luxuriously edgy biker jacket to feminine-yet-cool print maxi skirts, the well-priced line is truly noteworthy. Inspired by Charlotte Kemp Muhl-who also performed at the F/W 11 show alongside Sean Lennon-the collection has a rich palette (think: blood red, jewel-tone floral prints, camel) that's perfect for Minkoff's "downtown romantic" clientele. We're selected a few of our favorite pieces for today's Line We Love, but be sure to check out the entire assortment, as well as this sweet behind-the-scenes video about Minkoff showing this collection at Lincoln Center (it was her first big runway show!).
Isabelli Belted Wrap Dress ($398) in Liberty Print
As ladies who love a wrap dress, it should come as no surprise that we're crazy about Minkoff's bold take on the timeless wardrobe staple. Not only are we mad about the wild Liberty print and mix of earthy green hues, but we also adore the frock's silky fabric, which makes the frock a luxurious option that can transition from day to night with ease. "It's a great work outfit," Minkoff says. "It's sophisticated enough for the office but playful enough for after hours."
Moon Boots ($375, 212.705.2000) in Black
Still searching for that perfect pair of boots to complete your fall wardrobe? Then you'll be delighted to know your search finally stops here! Thanks to a sleek silhouette and mix of leather and suede, these boots are a sophisticated choice that will go with just about everything in your closet, from a pair of slim jeans to a pencil skirt. Trust us, this is one pair of boots you definitely want to have on hand this season, so be sure to place your pre-order at Bloomingdales pronto!
Jessica Jeans ($228) in Wine
If you're looking for a subtle way to try fall's colored snakeskin trend, then you definitely don't want to miss Minkoff's Jessica Jeans. With python leather panels on the legs, these slim, wine-colored pants are a sure way to make a statement this season. "The Jessica Jean is a great day-to-night pant," Minkoff says. "It can be worn with casual boots and a comfy sweater during the day and played up with heels and a dressy top for the night time." If you're anything like us, you won't be able to resist these show-stopping jeans, so be sure to pre-order a pair now before it's too late!
Vena Skirt ($325, 323.882.8464) in Inkblot
In our opinion, you can never have enough maxi skirts in your closet, which leads us to our next obsession-worthy Minkoff piece: the Vena Skirt. This chic silk skirt already has a place in our wardrobe, thanks in large part to its attention-grabbing abstract print. If you love the simple silhouette but would prefer a subtler print, there's also a gray-and-white iteration-the Stingray Vena Skirt ($328)-that's exclusively available on Minkoff's site!
Goddess Platform Sandals ($275) in Electric Blue
Is there anything more fabulous than a blue suede shoe? We think not, which is why the Goddess Platforms are currently at the top of our must-buy-for-fall list. The sleek open-toe silhouette and thick ankle strap have a slightly '90s-vibe we love, plus, the gorgeous blue hue will surely complement many of fall's rich colors. (They're also available in Eggplant, FYI.) Elvis Presley would definitely approve...
Abbey Leather Sleeve Biker Jacket with Fox Fur ($998, 323.882.8464)
Our absolute favorite piece from the F/W 11 collection has to be the Abbey Biker Jacket. We love the mix of textures, especially the contrasting leather sleeves, which is a look we can't get enough of right now. Whether you choose to wear it with a slip dress or go for a tough-luxe look by pairing it with slim black jeans, we guarantee you won't want to take this jacket off, making it an investment-worthy item indeed.
Proposal Purse ($295) in Blood Red
A petite carrier is a must-have for any stylish girl on the go, which is why the Proposal Purse is an essential accessory right now. One of Minkoff's personal favorites for fall, the bag features an elegant mix of red and gold tones, and we can't resist its adorable zebra head ornaments, which were inspired by a vintage pin the designer found in Europe. Red's not your thing? No worries: it also comes in basic black!-with Johnni Macke

The Greater Watertown-North Country Chamber of Commerce has received a grant to explain the Affordable Care Act to consumers and business owners in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.
Thanks to an $80,000 grant acquired this month from the Community Service Society of New York, the chamber will launch a community health program to offer free workshops and services in the three counties. It has hired a full-time community health advocate to run the 16-month program, which will help businesses and consumers find health care solutions that meet their needs. Filling that position will be Katrina L. Kapustay, who served for a year as a counselor for the North Country Procurement Technical Assistance Center program. Chamber staffers will go to Albany in March to complete training for the grant-funded program.
This program will help small businesses navigate through the difficult Affordable Care Act compliances, said Lynn M. Pietroski, CEO and president of the chamber. Were going to be educating small businesses on what they need for health insurance.
The programs services will be available to all consumers and business owners. One-on-one counseling will be offered to help small businesses develop health insurance plans, and the chamber will host educational events year-round in the three county area. Tentatively planned are 10 events in Jefferson County and five in both Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. The grant will pay for conferences and workshops.
We have some ideas for events, but were also open to collaborating with different organizations to find out where we can assist them, Mrs. Pietroski said. For example, we might be able to form meetings to group small businesses together.
The Community Health Advocates program has received federal funding since 2010, when the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. The act does not require small businesses to provide health insurance, but different incentives will be offered for those that choose to do so. The following benefits for small businesses of different sizes are outlined on the White House website:
n Businesses with fewer than 25 employees can get small-business tax credits for eligible businesses that choose to provide insurance to their employees. To qualify for a small-business tax credit of up to 35 percent (up to 25 percent for nonprofits), employers must pay average annual wages below $50,000 and contribute 50 percent or more toward employee health insurance premiums. Starting in 2014, this tax credit goes up to 50 percent (35 percent for nonprofits) and will be offered to qualified small businesses that participate in the Small Business Health Options Program exchanges.
n Businesses with 50 or fewer employees can join affordable insurance marketplaces. Starting in 2014, small businesses with generally 50 or fewer employees may purchase coverage through the Small Business Health Options Program exchanges, competitive marketplaces to which employers can go to find health coverage from a selection of providers. Open enrollment for the marketplaces will start Oct. 1 and Jan. 1 for those who are self-employed.
n Businesses with 50 or more employees fall under employer shared responsibility provisions. Starting in 2014, businesses with 50 or more full-time employees that do not offer affordable health insurance that provides a minimum level of coverage may be subject to an employer shared responsibility payment if at least one of their full-time employees receives a premium tax credit to purchase coverage in an insurance marketplace.

|Flames at Shortoff have a benefit
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 21 June 2007 20:11
Now that nearly 2,000 acres burning on Shortoff
Mountain are under control, firefighters and biologists are looking at the
bright side.
The flames helped with some rough country cleanup, experts say. Some vegetation grows better in fire prone areas. Trees like the Table Mountain Pine, found on Shortoff, contain cones that require a fire's heat to open and spread their seeds.

Military life isn't easy to explain. That's especially true when talking to kids whose lives are turned upside down every time Mom or Dad is deployed.
The USO understands these issues, and has teamed with Sesame Street to create a unique tour that speaks directly to military children. The Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families—the USO's longest running, free traveling tour based on Sesame Street's military family initiative—is rolling onto U.S. military bases across the country this year. The first show took place April 7 at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois.
Katie—a Sesame Street character created exclusively for the tour—was first introduced to military families in April 2011. This year's 70-stop tour showcases the power of friendship, as Elmo and his Sesame pals help Katie open up about her fears and excitement as she deals with moving to a new place and making new friends.
Since its debut in July 2008, the Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families has taken its message to more than 248,000 troops and military families, performing 433 shows on 131 military bases in 33 states and 11 countries.
The tour, which kicked off the "USO Supports Military Families across the Globe" campaign, is part of the USO's mission to lift the spirits of troops and their families.
The USO's reach is getting bigger.
Work has started on a new USO center at the Tampa International Airport that could serve as many as 300,000 service members and their families each year.
The USO Tampa Bay project is a part of ongoing renovations at Tampa International Airport. Planners are hoping the airport's USO will be open for business by the end of the summer.
"The groundbreaking … brings us one step closer to having a world-class facility in our community to properly service our military and their families while moving through the Tampa International Airport," said Walter Lamerton, Chairman of the USO Tampa Bay, Inc., Board of Directors.
The USO never wavers from its commitment to lift the spirits of troops and their families. But sometimes, we take a moment to honor those who have given so much.
USO of Metropolitan Washington did just that in March, awarding the John Gioia Patriot Award to Terri Santiago at its 30th Annual Awards Dinner on March 22 in Arlington, Virginia. Santiago— the mother of Marine Christopher Santiago, who was severely wounded in Iraq—has been a source of strength and inspiration for several wounded service members on their road to recovery.
USO Metro's program also included a salute to active-duty troops and special recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Medal of Honor (18 Medal of Honor recipients attended the dinner).
Special guests at the event included "The Man of a Thousand Voices" Rich Little and President and CEO of Boeing Defense, Space and Security Dennis Muilenburg.
Kroger Group Vice President of Corporate Affairs Lynn Marmer, left, presents USO Senior Vice President of Development Kelli Seely with a check before the Daytona 500 in February. Kroger used the race as a platform to announce the renewal of its Honoring Our Heroes campaign, which raised $1.5 million for the USO in 2011.
Transitioning out of the military can be daunting, but the USO is ready to help.
Hire Heroes USA/USO Workshops—presented by the USO and Hire Heroes USA— bring small groups of wounded troops together on bases across the country for intensive coaching on how to build resumes, create job strategies and improve interviewing skills. The goal of the program—which has helped 204 participants to date—is to build a new level of confidence in these men and women as they start on a path to a new career.
Local USOs work with military commands to identify and register transitioning wounded, ill or injured troops for these workshops. After a few sessions, participants get a chance to have mock interviews with real employers at Career Opportunity Days—small, low-key, job-fair style gatherings hosted by the USO, Hire Heroes USA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
These events have expanded to Washington, D.C., Fort Carson, Colorado, Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Camp Pendleton, California and San Antonio, Texas. Find out more at uso.org/warriorandfamilycare.
You don't have to read deep into Joe Brooks' biography before you pick up on the theme—the man wants to make a difference.
Brooks spent much of his nearly 20 years at Delaware River Waterfront Corporation— where he was acting president from 2004 to 2009—giving back to the community. He helped coordinate scholarship programs, helped establish a cribs program for the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Foundation and assisted in establishing an outreach program for a Philadelphia-area orphanage and foster care outfit.
And now, he's helping lead the charge for the USO. Brooks signed on with the USO in 2009. He's the president and chief operating officer of Liberty USO—a charter organization that runs four USO centers in the northeast corner of Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey.
The job allowed Brooks to stay right at home— he's a lifelong Philadelphia resident—where he lives with his wife Suzanne and their four children.
"My favorite component to the job is the interaction with our warriors," he said. "As a civilian who has never worn the uniform … working alongside the heroes is what makes the job cool."
With nearly three years of USO service under his belt, Brooks said his best advice to people starting their USO journey is to spend as much time as possible getting to know the troops they're working to support.
"Also, do not be afraid to ask questions," he said. "The military uses acronyms and peppers their conversations with them. If you allow the communication dynamic to continue without asking 'What does that mean?' you can quickly get lost."
UPCOMING EVENTS *Give thanks to those who give their time during Volunteer Week, which runs April 15-21 * The 2012 Warrior Games will take place April 30-May 5 * Help the troops by sending Mom flowers on Mother's Day, May 13 from FTD.com/uso *
We would love to hear from you.

Usually depends on the processor you're using, as well as whether or not you're loading any sort of boot ROM on to the board.
I did some assembly on a Motorola Coldfire processor a few years back and my school had put a basic boot ROM on to the board...starting address was 0x10000. However last year my school performed massive upgrades to Coldfire2 processors and put a modified Janus boot ROM on the system so user addressable memory started at 0x101000.
You mentioned that this is for a class? Your best resource would be the prof, or the lab guy who administers the boards.

In what was a rush of announcements internationally, Sony unveiled the Sony Xperia Z1 today as well. This phone is built to succeed Sony's current flagship, the Xperia Z. Built to be a processing powerhouse with a crisp HD screen, the Sony Xperia Z1 is looking like it could join the upper echelon of smartphones, thrusting Sony near the forefront of the industry.
First things first, this is probably Sony's best build ever. The Xperia Z1 features a lot of glass. The front and back are both built with glass, making things smooth and stylish. The phone is held together by a single, machined piece of aluminum, that softens the edge of the Xperia Z1's edges and doing so about as fashionably as possible. Inside, the phone is juiced with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor supercharged to 2.2 GHz and features a 20.7 megapixel camera, a large improvement on the Xperia Z's camera. The display measures in at 5 inches and is a full HD display.
Like most of Sony's top-end phones, the Xperia Z1 is 100% waterproof. The waterproofing has actually been improved in this model, with ports like the headphone jack no longer requiring protective plugs.
While this phone is certainly impressive, it remains to be seen where exactly it will fit in the changing mobile landscape. Many phones are on the verge of updates including two heavy-hitters, the HTC One and Apple iPhone 5. It will be very interesting to see how this phone stacks up to phones in this generation and the next one as words like octo-core and 41 megapixels float around in terms of what kind of muscle we will soon see in our smartphones. Needless to say, this phone is a bold statement for Sony who signal that they are ready to compete with the big boys instead of just lurking just below excellence like they did with the original Sony Xperia Z.

PRICE HIKE + LOW EXPECTATIONS = SMALL CROWDSDon't blame the old barn for poor ticket sales
CB at FANHOUSE: The "NHL Cycle" weekly recap (NYI)
EDITOR'S NOTE: The next SNY "Islanders Interactive" fan call-in show is set to be recorded on Tuesday at 12:15 pm. Stay tuned for final details later in the day.
There are plenty of times when the Islanders' failure to finalize an arena development deal appropriately comes into play when discussing the franchise's shortcomings.
However, just as fans are not lining up to buy tickets, it is impossible to buy into the recent team-fed propaganda that the Islanders' existing attendance problem has anything to do with the state of their arena.
That's because the notion is complete nonsense.
In a small article about the Islanders' attendance buried in Newsday the day after Thanksgiving (subscription required), general manager Garth Snow said the following:
There are a lot of ingredients as to why it is what it is. I think the building is a part of it, but winning plays a part as well.
Snow only got the lack of winning part right. There are three "ingredients" that have combined for a nosedive in attendance this season:
1. The Islanders raised ticket prices, in some cases significantly enough to turn off season subscribers, partial plan holders and the individual game buyers. According to a recent report, Islanders' over-the-counter prices are now four dollars higher than the NHL average despite a roster at the salary cap floor.
2. Without the gift of the Summer of Tavares, the Islanders in 2010 may have tinkered with their defense, but did nothing on even a borderline-"wow" level to improve the team.
3. The poor economy, which has a lot of people thinking twice about spending big cash on sporting events.
It was the perfect spitstorm.
The math is really simple. Other than brokers buying up blocks of season packages so they could get first crack at tickets for "The Wall," Dave Mathews, Taylor Swift and other in-demand concerts, the Islanders had little reason to expect a jump in attendance. By the home opener (not sold out), the team was already offering seats at drastically reduced prices. The Islanders also offer promotions like the Family Fun Pack, but these often come across like whims, instead of long-term strategy.
Fact is, with a small season subscriber base, attendance would still be down from recent seasons even if the Islanders were playing NHL .500 hockey at the quarter-pole. It would still be down if Kyle Okposo and Mark Streit were healthy. Tickets would still be readily available on StubHub for as low as $6. With most seats face valued at $65 – $150, the Islanders (like the rest of the NHL) are not a walk-up business. Teams usually do not sell 5,000 tickets on the day of a game, like in Major League Baseball. If the Islanders move 2,000 on gamenight, including Loudville and any other bargains, it is justifiable cause for celebration.
If the Islanders really cannot fully comprehend why attendance is down, perhaps they could look back to 2001 at the effect of adding Chris Osgood, Adrian Aucoin, Alexei Yashin and Michael Peca to the roster and a charismatic newcomer named Peter Laviolette behind the bench. Averaging an announced 9,000 over Thanksgiving weekend nine seasons later? It's not the decrepit building's fault. The building was decrepit in 2001.
Yes, winning means a lot. So does trying harder to put a winning team on the ice. The Islanders chose to stick with the very slow and often unsteady rebuild, which could still turn out to be the right move some year. But the organization should not blame the dismal attendance on anything but the real reasons why.
Going forward, let's hope the Islanders stick to their "no excuses" mantra off the ice as well. Their only concern should be fixing the problem and bringing fans back into the building to support the team.
As reported by Katie Strang, Jack Hillen and Andrew MacDonald have resumed skating with the team…Josh Bailey suffered what the team has termed a "minor pectoral strain" while playing for Bridgeport over the weekend and is listed as out day-to-day.
Brian Compton of NHL.com and I hope you will call in on Tuesday from 12:15 – 12:45 pm as we record the latest episode of our "Islanders Interactive" call-in show. No pressure, but the broadcast is the only one of its kind on the air or on the web for Islanders fans. It's only as good as you make it. Stay tuned for final details, posted later in the day.
Tomorrow, November 30th, SOCIAL (across the street from the Coliseum) is hosting a special event for hockey fans. For just $50 – a special price exclusively for Point Blank readers – included are Islanders game tickets, a three-course meal from Danny Gagnon of "Top Chef" and personal visits to your table by center Rob Schremp and defenseman Andrew MacDonald. Autograph requests and the taking of photographs are highly encouraged.
Again, for 50 bucks, you get a ticket to a game – face value: more than $50 – a visit with a pair of current Islanders and a great meal. Not a bad way to spend a night. Seating is very limited by SOCIAL so every fan can have enough time to meet with Schremp and MacDonald. The event is open to all ages, but you'll want to book your seat at the table today.
For reservations call 917.848.8984 and ask for Max.

Khloe Kardashian put her marital woes aside for the weekend -- getting glammed up for a night out in Las Vegas!
Sporting a sexy leather dress, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star appeared at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Sin City on Saturday night ... attending the event with sisters Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner (who had newly-died jet-black hair).
And while she was clearly putting whatever issues with Lamar Odom out of her mind for the girls' night out, she was still wearing her wedding ring at the concert.
Backstage, the ladies were seen hanging out with Miley Cyrus, who was wearing almost nothing at all during the show. Rocking a mesh dress, pasties and a pair of bikini bottoms, Miley was definitely the most underdressed star of the weekend.
Check out the gallery above for all the celeb sightings at the festival -- including shots of Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Adam Levine and many, many more!

Lees-McRae returns to the court on Wednesday when the Bobcats travel to Tigerville, S.C. to take on North Greenville University in league play at 2 p.m.
King Sweep Bobcats, 9-0

William Boyce and Rafael Francisco gave the Tornado a 3-0 lead with an 8-2 decision against Jesse Artrip (Cleveland, Va.) and Adam Chivers (Wilbraham, Mass.).

Comments about Charvel Desolation Single Cutaway 3 Electric Guitar:
The guitar is lightweight. The neck profile feels like c-shaped, but not thick, though I thought the space in between strings were narrow for me. I guess I'm comfortable with wider radius neck profile. I feel a little trapped in between the strings when I do alternate picking so I have to adjust the angle of my picking hand to compensate for it. The action was set up perfectly so I didn't have to do any height adjustment.
The stock pickups are pretty weak and somewhat muddy, that I have to really dig the pick to hear that significant "pop" on the pick on the string. Plenty of sustain though. I Back off the bass and add more mids to my amp so it can cut through the mix in a band situation.
I have a single-channel Marshall clone and I couldn't get a cleaner tone using the guitar's volume. It sounded muffled.
Overall, it is an "ok" beater guitar for a price.

I am very happy with this purchase. As always "Musician's Friend" came through! Although I've never played this guitar before the purchase, I read reviews and were all good. The nut on the jack was loose and came off when I unplugged the guitar cord, but I replaced it with a better one. All is ok now!
People have commented on how good the guitar sounds.
Got me a good guitar for a great price!

Comments about Charvel Desolation Single Cutaway 3 Electric Guitar:
This is a wonderful guitar and would get 5 stars if not for the fact that the picture clearly shows the guitar with grover type tuners. The ones they came with were pot metal and were covered in black nickel. I had to switch them out for Sperzels with a greater tuning ratio for it to stay in tune. The pickups sound great, effortless to play, didn't even have to adjust the intonation. Although, I felt I was ripped off on the tuners. Something should be done about that photo.

Comments about Charvel Desolation Single Cutaway 3 Electric Guitar:
This was my first guitar purchased online...I was very hesitant & sceptical, but once I received it all was good. I love this guitar...great tone, fretboard, and playability, not to mention gorgeous. I got the red one and looks great. One of the tuning machine heads is not perfect and the strings it came with are the worst. Once I changed the strings and set intonation it was great for jazz and heavy rock. Would recommend to beginners and experienced players.
Comments about Charvel Desolation Single Cutaway 3 Electric Guitar:
No regrets, I love this instrument .
Passive Pickups, a very light weight mahogany body and fast neck make this really easy to play . I changed out the strings, tightened the tuners and set the intonation with no problems . Yeah, the tuning pegs were a bit lose . No biggy . Frets are all jumbo, all nicely trimmed on the board .
I plugged this into my Orange 20LDX amp and started to run through all the efx. Really nice clean tones , and down n dirty tones with the gain and over drive kicked up . I have been shopping around for awhile and for what you get , you can't go wrong here . Its a Charvel , and the reputation is well deserved .
Very good quality and finish on this . I bought it "gently used " from here ...looked like it came new out of the box! Everything is tight , pots are good, and it sounds great . Sustain on this is unreal .
I almost feel guilty to get as good a sound out of this for what I paid for it . Some would call this a beginners guitar , but aside from the other models having EMG or Seymour Duncan pups and a Floyd Rose, its all the same . The ST-1 has a neck through design . If I wanted I could change out a few things but as it sits, why ? High out put passive pickups , great tones , sweet action out of the box for the most part ...hard to be disappointed with this . Its a keeper .

best guitar for the money

finest playing guitars i have played in a long time. i play strat's prs lespauls takamine. this
guitar stands right next to all of them. the tone quality is great for any type of music you try to

Comments about Charvel Desolation Single Cutaway 3 Electric Guitar:
I've been wanting "24 frets and a couple of humbuckers" for awhile. Given the manufacturer and model, I was expecting hotter pickups, more of a shred monster if you will. The DS-1 has blackouts, and the DS-3 has Charvel passive humbuckers. As I mentioned above, the neck pickup is warm, round and responsive. The bridge pup I would have liked to be meatier. I adjusted it closer to the strings and it has helped somewhat. This thing loves lotsa crunch and absolutely adores pedals.
The neck is thin, but not "wizard" thin. My main rig is a '69 Thinline Tele with 71/4" neck radius, so the 12" fretboard on this seems really flat. But it is also really fast. The upper frets are easy to get to, and it came well setup out of the box.
What I would like to see is more information on this model on the company's website, including setup information, pickup specs, etc. like their parent company, Fender, does.
Pretty straightforward - mahogany body and neck, 24 frets and a couple of passive humbuckers, with standard electronics.
Physical balance is outstanding, fit and finish pretty first-rate. Some reviewers are put off by the finish on the neck, which could be a little smoother. I prefer satin-finished necks, however, and over time with lemon oil and wear it will smooth out nicely. I felt that the neck pickup could have higher output to better balance it with the neck pup, which is delightfully warm and full - think PAFish.
For a the price this thing is hard to beat.

Patients and Families
Visiting Guidelines
All visitors, parents, guardians and other patient guests, including clergy, to any inpatient unit or surgical area are required to wear a visitor Identification (ID) badge issued at the Welcome/Information Center, Floor 1A, before going to the unit.
Parents are welcome to be with their children 24 hours a day unless otherwise advised by medical or nursing staff. Other family members are encouraged to visit and may visit along with friends during visiting hours (10 a.m.–9 p.m. daily).
Visitor Identification Badges
Badges must be worn at all times while visiting in the hospital. Adults who accompany children to Same Day Surgery receive their ID badges in that area. All guests under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult and are screened for infectious disease.
Badges are issued at the Welcome/Information Center, Floor 1A, from 7 a.m.–10:30 p.m. daily, or in the Admitting office, Floor 1b. Off-hours badging services are available at the patient access desk in the Emergency Department.
Self-adhesive visitor ID badges are color-coded for easy recognition:
- Yellow badges indicate individuals who wish to visit the Family Resource Center or who need to go to an outpatient service on Floor 6, 7 or 9. Patients and families arriving to Floor 4 for a surgery or procedure receive a printed yellow badge at the registration desk.
- Pink badges are for families and guests to inpatient units on Floors 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, along with a swipe card for access. Visitors must provide a confidentiality code to receive a pink badge.
- White badges are given to visitors to the Emergency Department. They are valid in the ED and open access areas from Floors 1–3.
Any visitor to the hospital or patient guest on the patient units or other area accessed by the orange elevators without an identification badge will be directed to the Welcome/Information Center to be properly identified and badged. Public Safety will be contacted if a guest is unwilling or unable to comply with this procedure.
Patient Confidentiality Code
To ensure safety and confidentiality, parents or legal guardians will be issued a six-digit identification number that identifies their child. Nursing staff will only issue the identification number to parents or legal guardians upon arrival to the nursing unit.
Hospital Access
Parents, guardians and other guests requesting access to inpatient areas on Floor 4 (the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit), must provide the patient's six-digit confidentiality code and receive a badge designating them as an inpatient parent or guest.
Parents, patients or other hospital guests requesting access to public areas such as the Floor 6 Family Resource Center, Chapel or Library; or to outpatient units located on Floors 6, 7 or 9 will receive a badge designating them as an outpatient or common area guest with access to the orange elevators. Patients, parents, guardians and other guests to Floors 1–4 outpatient areas access those areas via the grape elevators where badging is not required.
Identification (driver's license or other picture ID) is requested to be issued a badge and a confidentiality code in order to visit an inpatient unit.
Visitation Guidelines
- Immediate family members (parents, legal guardians or persons designated by parent or courts) may be with the patient at any time. Special visitation hours may be instituted at the discretion of the nursing unit.
- Siblings and other family members and guests may visit between 10 a.m.–9 p.m.
- Patient guests, other than siblings, must be 12 or older and accompanied by an adult who is not the patient. All children must be supervised at all times by an adult.
- Visitation by community clergy members during off-hours (9 p.m.–10 a.m.) may be permitted as requested by the parent or guardian. After 9 p.m., clergy members should report to the patient access desk in the Emergency Department for appropriate badging.
A parent, guardian or parent designee 18 or older may sleep in the patient's room overnight (one in critical care units, two in acute care units) using the provided sleeping surface only.
The number of family members and guests at the bedside is dependent upon the needs of the patient and the staff members providing care. Generally, at any one time the number of people at the bedside should be limited to two in critical care and four in acute care. Patient care staff may request that visitors exit the patient room at any time.

Infectious Diseases Clearance
All visitors under 17 years of age must be accompanied by an adult and have an Infectious Diseases clearance. To obtain an Infectious Diseases clearance, parents and/or guardians of children who are visitors will be asked the following questions by staff at the Information Desk:

Is the child currently sick?
What unit will the child be visiting?
If clearance is not granted, the child will not be permitted to go to the patient floor.
Universal Precautions

These universal precautions include hand-washing and the use of gloves, gowns, protective eyewear and/or masks. In some instances, you also may be asked to wash your hands or wear special clothing before entering your child's room.
If your child has, or is suspected of having, a disease that could be transmitted to other patients, he/she may be placed in an isolation room. The door to the isolation room must be kept closed at all times. Visitors and health care workers may need to wear special clothing before entering the room.

Very straight forward I run mine in a canister along with brs carbon in another canister I simply fill, install open my ball valve and rinse with tank water until dust particles at minimal or just until water comes out clear so it helps with a 1-2 gallon water change in my total 90g reef.

I was using seachem sea gel and it worked ok, but this combination works SOOO much better. Nuisance algae has been all but stopped. I used to have to scrape the tank sides about once a week, once I got this stuff up and running I can tell the growth on the glass has slowed WAY down. Phosphates were always pretty low in my tank, but this stuff has it basically at 0, or just above. I have not been running it long enough to probably get it all the way down yet. I not looking back I am going to run this stuff from now on.

McDermott Earns Team USA Invite For World University Games
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (June 3, 2013) – Creighton All-American Doug McDermott is one of 29 men that USA Basketball has invited to the 2013 USA Basketball Men's World University Games Team training camp, which will take place June 24-30 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. The USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team Committee issued the invitations.

Attending training camp will be: Eric Atkins (Notre Dame/Columbia, Md.); Markel Brown (Oklahoma State/Alexandria, La.); Deonte Burton (Nevada/Los Angeles, Calif.); Quinn Cook (Duke/Washington, D.C.); Bryce Cotton (Providence/Tucson, Ariz.); Spencer Dinwiddie (Colorado/Woodland Hills, Calif.); CJ Fair (Syracuse/Baltimore, Md.); Yogi Ferrell (Indiana/Indianapolis, Ind.); Davante Gardner (Marquette/Suffolk, Va.); Treveon Graham (Virginia Commonwealth/Washington, D.C.); Jerian Grant (Notre Dame/Bowie, Md.); PJ Hairston (North Carolina/Greensboro, N.C.); AJ Hammons (Purdue/Gary, Ind.); Luke Hancock (Louisville/ Roanoke, Va.); Joe Harris (Virginia/Chelan, Wash.); Tyler Haws (BYU/Alpine, Utah); Andre Hollins (Minnesota/ Memphis, Tenn.); Rodney Hood (Duke/Meridian, Miss.); Josh Huestis (Stanford/Great Falls, Mont.); Cory Jefferson (Baylor/Killeen, Texas); Sean Kilpatrick (Cincinnati/Yonkers, N.Y.); Alex Kirk (New Mexico/Los Alamos, N.M.); Devyn Marble (Iowa/Southfield, Mich.); Doug McDermott (Creighton/Ames, Iowa); Adreian Payne (Michigan State/Dayton, Ohio); Chasson Randle (Stanford/Rock Island, Ill.); Will Sheehey (Indiana/Stuart, Fla.); Aaron White (Iowa/Strongsville, Ohio); and Kendall Williams (New Mexico/Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.).
"The committee has assembled one of the strongest World University Games training camp rosters USA Basketball has ever had," said Jim Boeheim, head coach at Syracuse University and chair of the USA Men's Junior National Team Committee. "It includes some of the top players in college basketball, several of whom have international experience. Selecting the players for the final roster is going to be a real challenge."
Three of the invitees have previous experience with USA Basketball. Cook and Randle are two-time USA Basketball gold medalists, having helped the USA to a 5-0 record at the inaugural 2009 FIBA Americas U16 Championship in Mendoza, Argentina, and an 8-0 record in the first FIBA U17 World Championship in 2010 in Hamburg, Germany. Cook also helped the USA Junior National Select Team to a 92-80 win over the World Select Team in the 2011 Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, Ore.
Additionally, McDermott was a member of the 2011 USA Basketball Men's U19 World Championship Team that finished in fifth place with a 7-2 record in the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship in Latvia. McDermott ranked third on U19 team in scoring (11.3 ppg.) and rebounding (6.1 rpg.) while leading the club with 13 three-pointers made and 39.4 percent marksmanship from downtown. He is a two time Associated Press (AP) All-American (2012 and 2013), who also earned All-America first team honors from the NABC, USBWA and Basketball Times in 2013.
"We couldn't get the Gold Medal when I played U19, so I definitely want to strive to get that gold medal,", said McDermott.
Twenty-four players took home end of the year conference honors, including McDermott, a two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and three-time all-conference first-team selection, and Williams, who listed as the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year and on its first team.
Additionally, Gardner earned Big East Conference Sixth Man of the Year; Huestis (Pac-12 Conference) and Kirk (Mountain West Conference) listed on their conference all-defensive teams; and Ferrell and Hammons listed on the Big Ten Conference All-Freshman team. Also taking home first-team recognition were: Cotton (Big East), Dinwiddie (Pac-12), Harris (Atlantic Coast Conference) and Haws (West Coast Conference).
Named to all-conference second teams were: Brown (Big 12 Conference), Fair (Big East), Graham (Atlantic-10 Conference), Grant (Big East), Kilpatrick (Big East), Kirk (Mountain West) and Payne (Big Ten). Third-team selections were: Burton (Mountain West), Cook (ACC), Hollins (Big Ten) and White (Big Ten). Earning honorable mention were: Gardner (Big East), Jefferson (Big 12), Hairston (ACC), White (Big Ten), Hollins (Big Ten), Ferrell (Big Ten) and Marble (Big Ten)
The 30 players represent 24 schools and feature teammates from Duke (Cook and Hood), Indiana (Ferrell and Sheehy), Iowa (Marble and White), New Mexico (Kirk and Williams), Notre Dame (Atkins and Grant) and Stanford (Huestis and Randle).
The Big East has six schools with players expected to compete at training camp; five schools from the Big Ten list on the roster; the Atlantic Coast and Pac-12 are represented by three schools each; the Big 12 and Mountain West each feature two schools participating in training camp; and represented by one school apiece are the Atlantic-10, Missouri Valley and West Coast conferences.
In addition to chair and NCAA representative Boeheim, the 2013-16 USA Men's Junior National Team Committee includes NCAA appointees McKillop, Matt Painter (Purdue University) and Lorenzo Romar (University of Washington), as well as athlete representative Curtis Sumpter, a member of the 2011 USA Pan American Games Team and the 2004 USA U20 National Team.
World University Games
The United States has claimed 19 medals in the World University Games since beginning play in 1965, and has captured a record 13 golds, three silvers and three bronze medals in the 20 WUGs in which a USA Basketball men's squad has competed. The USA men own a stellar 138-9 record in WUGs play, and the U.S. captured six of the first seven gold medals awarded in the WUGs basketball competition, including six consecutive gold medals from 1989 through 1999. In 2001 the USA fell to host China, which featured half of its 2000 Olympic team, including Yao Ming, Menk Bateer and Wang ZhiZhi, by a single point in the semifinal and finished with the bronze. The USA again captured the gold medal in 2005 and most recently, finished in fifth place with a 7-1 record after falling to Lithuania 76-74 in the 2011 quarterfinals.
Eighteen players who have represented the USA in the WUGs have gone on to compete in the Olympic Games, including Ray Allen (1995), Stacey Augmon (1989), Charles Barkley (1983), Larry Bird (1977), Bill Bradley (1965), Quinn Buckner (1973), Tom Burleson (1973), Ken Davis (1970), Tim Duncan (1995), Phil Hubbard (1977), Allen Iverson (1995), Mitch Kupchak (1973), Karl Malone (1983), Michael Redd (1999), Mitch Richmond (1987), Michael Silliman (1967), Steve Smith (1989) and Jo Jo White (1967).

MASSENA A 30-year-old Massena man who had been charged last year with a 2009 assault of a Massena woman in her 80s was arrested Monday and charged with exposing himself to a woman in July.
The Massena Police Department Investigations Unit charged Jason D. Tassie, 124 Main St., Apt. 2, with a misdemeanor counts of third-degree criminal trespass and exposure of a person.
Police Chief Timmy J. Currier said the arrest was a result of an investigation that began late July 26 when a female reported to police that a man was standing outside her back patio door exposing his private parts.
Mr. Currier said that DNA results returned from the State Police Forensic Investigation Center were used to confirm the perpetrators identity and support criminal charges.
Mr. Tassie was arraigned Monday afternoon by Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson and released without bail to reappear at a later date.
Mr. Tassie, then listing an 8 Tracy St. address, had been charged in late September with felony counts of first-degree burglary and second-degree aggravated sexual assault after DNA for another criminal conviction linked him to an August 2009 assault of a Massena woman in her 80s living in the Beach Street area.
Police said last year that evidence collected at the time of the attack had been placed in the DNA database. Mr. Tassie had submitted DNA evidence for a November 2006 conviction for second-degree menacing, and police were notified in September of a match between the John Doe sample submitted in 2009 and the offender sample obtained from Tassie.
Police said at the time of the incident that the woman was alone in her home shortly before 10 p.m. Aug. 8, 2009, a Saturday, when an assailant entered her unlocked residence and assaulted her.
Police said at the time of the incident that the assailant was believed to be a white male approximately 30 years of age who wore dark clothing and a red bandana over his face. He was described as being between 56 and 58, approximately 165 pounds, with dark, short hair and silver-colored round rimmed glasses that appeared to be too small for his face, which the victim described as pudgy with puffy cheeks.
Village police had issued a warning urging residents to take the same safety precautions they should be taking every day, such as locking doors and windows in their homes, making sure properties are well lit, leaving exterior lights on at night, trimming shrubs or bushes so burglars cannot hide in their shadows and reporting all suspicious noise and activity to the police.

It was 149 years ago this week that the bloodiest battle in American history took place. More than 23,000 men were killed, wounded or missing in action in one day, on Sept. 17, 1862, at the Battle of Antietam in Maryland.
The battle was technically a draw. But the leader of the Confederacy's troops, Robert E. Lee, ordered his forces to retreat from the area, giving President Abraham Lincoln an opportunity to proclaim victory and issue the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863.
Many people today don't realize that Lincoln's Proclamation did not grant freedom to any slaves in the North. Instead, it was meant to encourage blacks in the South to rise up against their masters and create a "fifth column" in their regions. This did not happen, and the War Between the States lasted until Lee surrendered on April 9, 1865. The aftereffects are still being felt to this day.

Tapping the
Scales of Justice - A Dose of Connecticut Legal History
Tapping Reeve and the Litchfield
Law School
Tapping Reeve and the Litchfield
Law School
Litchfield Law School, the first of its kind in the United States,
was founded by Tapping Reeve
in 1784. The custom for students of law in the 18th
century was to be tutored privately or serve under apprenticeships.
Tapping Reeve, after being admitted to the bar, began his
instruction in this fashion teaching individuals in his living room.
He developed a curriculum of all areas of the law and allowed
students to operate a Moot Court. Eventually, Reeve constructed a
school next to his home to accommodate the growing enrollment. He
operated the school single-handedly until 1798 when he was appointed
as a judge to the Superior Court. He then invited a partner, James
Gould, to join him at the school.
Distinguished alumni of the school included several Vice Presidents
of the United States, as well as numerous Senators, Congressmen,
Cabinet Ministers, Governors, and Judges. In 1966, the Department of
the Interior designated the school the first law school in the
United States. The Tapping Reeve house and Litchfield Law School
still stand and are operated by the Litchfield Historical Society.
Visitors may tour the site in Litchfield, Connecticut from May to
In 1814,
Tapping Reeve was elevated to Chief Judge of the Supreme Court. Many
of his decisions can be reviewed in the early Connecticut Reports.
He frequently wrote decisions as if he were lecturing a classroom of
his students, asking rhetorical questions and then answering them.
He also often reached back to English law for authority or to use as
an analogy when writing opinions. Here is what he had to say in a
case involving trespass:
that the lord of a manor should sell a highway through his manor... no
deed to any person of the land covered by the highway being
executed... what would pass to the public by the sale... Nothing but a
right of passage for the king and his subjects...the rest would
remain the property of the lord of the manor." [See 1 Conn. 103

I'm in the process of upgrading almost all my gear and I'm ready to make the switch from a sleeping bag to a quilt.I'll reluctantly swallow high prices to get good quality and long-lasting items that are right the first time.I currently own a Asolo Cortina Sleeping Bag. It is 2.44lbs and rated to 32F.I need a regular length quilt that can go slightly below freezing on occasion (23F max) with base layers, hooded down jacket and down socks.I also have a Neoair XTherm on the way through the mail.I've narrowed my choices to:Katabatic Chisos 40F = 14.6ozKatabatic Chisos 40F with 2 oz. overfill= 16.6ozKatabatic Palisade 30F = 17.5ozKatabatic Palisade 30F with 2 oz. overfill = 19.5ozZpacks 40F = 11.8ozZpacks 30F = 14.4ozZpacks 20F = 17.1ozOr is there another option which would be more suitable?I know warmth is subjective but I would appreciate any suggestions from the community.
Edited by Sara on 12/29/2012 10:43:59 MST.
Hi Sara,For the temperatures you are describing (ie down to low 20s) I would personally go with the Palisade. Whether this choice would suit you depends on how warm or cold you personally sleep. I will say that Katabatic quilts are exquisitely made and have a feature set that is well suited to transitioning to quilts. Hope you enjoy the experience! As a restless sleeper, I'll never go back to bags.
zpacks really are the best, the kata bic's have a small down fill weight.
I have a Blackwelder, which is a tad heavier than what you're looking at, but it served me well at 15,500 feet in Tanzania and also in the snow at around 0F. I think I'd have done fine in the snow if I'd had a warmer pad; every time I rolled onto my side, my hip pushed into the snow and I got a cold spot that woke me up. I now have an XTherm, but I haven't had a chance to try it in the snow yet.It's well made though, and designed nicely to serve as a quilt. Drafts weren't a problem. I did get the warmer of the two hoods that Katabatic sells, which was also quite comfortable and warm.
Keep in mind those ratings are with a typical male in mind. On average, a typical female will sleep 10-12F colder. For what you're looking at (down to 23 F with layers) I'd suggest the Katabatic Alsek at minimum and I think you'd be better served by the Sawatch.I've been quilting for several years, and tested a few 0 F quilts last winter. The Katabatic Blackwelder was the only true quilt I found to be accurately rated. In fairness, Joe (Zpacks) didn't want to be in the test since he didn't design his bags for such cold temps. Having said that, I feel like bags make much more sense below about 20 F, so you're right at the line. I'd keep a healthy margin of error if you value a good night's sleep. I've personally spent more than a few nights shivering, grabbing mid-night snacks, doing mid-night exercises, and all together sleeping for $%#^ trying to prove something to myself in a fit of testosterone by pushing a quilt beyond its intended limits.
I would second the recommendation for Katabatic Gear Alsek or Sawatch. Always better to have a healthy margin for error. I have the Chisos Regular and it is true to its temp rating for me and I am neither hot or cold sleeper.I also highly recommend Katabatic Gear in general. Simply top of the line design, materials and workmanship.
Edited by randalmartin on 12/29/2012 15:44:06 MST.
Katabatic Palisade or Alsek. I'd go Palisade and wear my warm clothes to bed on the coldest nights, but if you're a cold sleeper then look at the Alsek. If you toss and turn a lot, go with the wide version. The regular width quilts aren't that wide, so larger people and acrobatic sleepers prefer the wide ones.
What? No love for Enlightened Equipment w/ overstuff?
Having said that, I feel like bags make much more sense below about 20 F, so you're right at the line. What he said. Like all gear it's subjective but I agree that in the lower temps sleeping bags tend to be more dependably warm for a given weight. For most people. This is not a slam of quilts nor their enthusiasts.
Edited by jpovs on 06/27/2014 22:38:48 MDT.
I'm about to buy my first quilt as well and have noticed that there's quite a few nuanced details between the aforementioned quilts that warrants attention, at least for myself. Seeing as I'm going the value-for-money route I'm about 90% sure I'll end up with an Enlightened Equipment 20* quilt once the new designs are released come the first bit of January. However, here's some observations that come to mind after pouring over the specs and sites:- Katabatic looks to have the highest build quality insofar as modern production techniques. Note their curved pattern to the opening on the bottom of the quilt, the piping around the edges, and things like the attachment system. Moreover, they seem (as far as I can tell, and someone correct me if I'm wrong) that they aren't meant to be drawn up completely sealed under you. That bottom opening simply doesn't look like it can be closed completely. They do however make a good case for their fancy attachment system. Also, they don't appear to open flat for blanket/quilt style use, which for me is a drag because that's how I prefer to sleep down to about 50*. They're also the most expensive which is obvious. - ZPacks looks closest to a traditional sleeping bag, sans hood, given that it zips all the way up. They also claim superior down, best loft, and are customizable. Price is somewhere in the middle, but weight is quite low which is nice. They lack any sort of fancy attachment system for your pad. - Enlightened Eqiupment opens flat, is coming out with a cord system to attach to the pad, and is far and away the cheapest with your choice of sizes and colors being quite nice. The baffles are obviously an interesting argument either for/against, and the loft is a good bit more substantial than the ZPacks but uses 850 down vs 900 and is therefore a bit heavier. I'm not entirely sold on the color system which looks to consist simply of a drawcord that my hiking companions will use as a garrote wire if I don't stop talking about my Caldera Cone or stuff I read online. They do however fold flat and can be used as a big ol' blanket in warmer temps which I appreciate. I'm sure there's others but it's interesting to see the different finite details come together between the brands. I suspect a whole other bunch of variables come into play depending on your shelter and pad arrangement. For me inside a doublewall tent on a 3" air pad I'm hopeful that I won't catch my death moving away from a traditional mummy bag. I'm pretty confident the 30% overstuff on an EE 20* will be perfect for me. Guess I'll find out soon enough!
I have Montbell bags and Enlightened and Katabatic quilts and a big plus 1 on the Katabatic quilts. You pay for it but the craftsmanship and designs are absolutely fantastic. I also love the Katabatic pad attachment system and am still scratching my head how to best minimize drafts with my Enlightened quilt without doing some kind of modification. I got the Palasaides with 3 oz of overfill and couldn't be happier.
I agree that for night temps of 20F and under bags are ideal, but the OP seems to be pretty far away from this being the norm. She is looking to go "slightly below freezing on occasion", with 23F being a coldest case scenario. Sounds like 40-50F is the norm, with 30F occasionally and maybe a rare night in the low 20's. Being from SW Ontario myself, this sounds like reasonable expectations for 3 season use.If the OP is looking to trim ounces, I'd go with a 30F rated quilt and layer clothes on the odd cold night (and maybe do sit ups). However, since women sleep colder and the OP is new here and likely not gram obsessing, a 20-25F rated quilt would be a enjoyable and safe call.
I just made the switch this year to quilts, starting with a cheapo summer quilt from go lite, then after realizing how much I loved it going ahead and getting two EE from Tim. I have a revX 20 deg with overstuff for colder nights, then the uber nice Revelation 30 with overstuff as my main go-to for mountains, spring and fall. Given the choice, I'd pay the teeny bit extra on the unbelievably soft feel of the pricier Revelation. I know everyone here raves about the X and the price point, but goodness gracious the Revelation was still super cheap and I can't stop hugging it. I nap with it draped over me on the couch. I want one for every temperature range.I have slept in he 20 + overstuff and a down jacket (with hood on, over a hat) in temps to about 20 and have been just fine except for my pad. The coldness was seeping from under the pad, as I only have a synmat UL 7. Need more Rs...Anyway, Alex (was it you Alex?) is right about the quilt not going around you completely - once the insulation is under you you crush it and it's worthless. So why bother? The xtherm will be great for bottom insulation, get a quilt wide enough to complement your sleeping style (back, stomach, side, toss n turn, etc) and just tuck it under you. Your feet go in the nice box at the bottom if it's cold (another reason why I like Tim's quilts...when it's warm you can just unzip it and lay it flat and you don't need your feet encased in down) and pull the quilt around you. I can see in really cold temps (below 20) that I would want my bag, but honestly, here in the Midwest where there isn't all that much fun stuff to do when the temps go down (we don't seem to get snow much anymore...) except shiver, I don't do much camping when it drops into the teens.
Josh: "The problem with quilts in cold weather is your shoulders get cold, but your jacket will offset that."That's not necessarily the case. It depends a lot on how the quilt is designed, it's just that a lot of them aren't designed for truly cold weather. I have a Katabatic Blackwelder and an MLD Spirit 30, and I've not had that issue with either of them, because they both have drawcords that allow you to snug them up around your neck quite nicely. Being designed for colder weather, the Blackwelder is quite a bit puffier, so in addition to sealing your body in pretty well it also covers part of your neck.Alec: " Moreover, they seem (as far as I can tell, and someone correct me if I'm wrong) that they aren't meant to be drawn up completely sealed under you. That bottom opening simply doesn't look like it can be closed completely."You are correct, it doesn't seal up completely under you. It's not intended to, as you theorize. If you draw it up nice and snug, it will cover what your pad doesn't.I haven't tried Katabatic's attachment system yet. I've just been using the webbing straps. I run them across the bottom of my pad, so the edges of the quilt wrap around the pad, then I snug up the draft tube around my neck. I can roll around without letting drafts in when I do that.You're also correct that Katabatic's quilts don't open flat. That's really the only thing I wish were different about it; if it did open all the way I'd probably end up using my Blackwelder a lot more, mainly because it ends up being overkill in moderate conditions.That said, it's been great when I've camped at high elevations and in snow.The final decision is still going to be very personal, but some of the quilts out there will work impressively well in some pretty harsh conditions, so they're still worth a look.That said, I'll probably be investing in a -40 bag for Arctic expeditions sooner or later. :)

I'm slightly worried that my switch to a SynMat UL 7 LW (from the ginormous but nicely R valued SynMat 9 DLX) will leave me a tad chilly on the bottom. I was delirious from the cold so can't say for sure, but I think at one point on my last trip where we froze in low 30's weather in 40* rated bags, that I may have felt a bit of chill through the pad. It also could have been that the drop from 75 during the day when I inflated the pad, to low 30's at night, compressed the air, and let me touch the ground momentarily on my side (side sleeper here).Anyhow, being in texas we only camp 3 season and just go to places currently experiencing those 3 good seasons! Right now it's winter, sure, but this hardly qualifies even if it's dipping into the 30's at night and is 50 during the day. Come summer when it's too hot to camp here we'll head north. Kind of convenient really, but also means I should be okay with a 20* bag unless it's staying in the 60's at night. I'm looking forward to this whole new world of flopping around in my quilt and staying warm without feeling encased like a sausage!
"Moreover, they seem (as far as I can tell, and someone correct me if I'm wrong) that they aren't meant to be drawn up completely sealed under you. That bottom opening simply doesn't look like it can be closed completely."Drawing up a quilt where it is completely under you defeats the purpose of the quilt in the first place. You don't want to sleep on your insulation. The Katabatic Gear system attaches to the pad so you can freely turn without having the quilt come off of the pad and release heat. Even if you don't use the attachment system I have found that the elastic binding around the perimeter of the opening on the bottom naturally gathers the quilt around you.
Right right. I should have pointed out that I understand the idea behind it, and wasn't drawing into question the validity of the approach, but rather simply pointing out the different takes on quilt design between those three oft-mentioned brands. ZPacks, with their zipper obviously believe in putting more insulation under the user, by comparison, and EE is somewhere in the middle between ZPacks and Katabatic. Should also point out that the idea of encapsulating your sleeping pad by actually wrapping (or rather, tucking in) your quilt around the edges of it is different between the quilt manufacturers as well. With Katabatic the cord system affixes the quilt to the pad but not wrapping it; Zpacks just seems to sit on top like a traditional sleeping bag, and EE could theoretically be used either way depending on the width of your quilt and what cord options you want to use. Lots of options and different takes. Hence why I said that quilts were rather nuanced in features. Sorry about any possibly confusion arising from my lack of articulation the first time around. :)
