More information for Intimus 4T Tower Speaker
Ever wish for a tower speaker that took up more of your room's real estate? We haven't either. Unless you need to make a statement about something other than great sound, what you really want from a tower is range, clarity and power.
The Intimus 4T Tower delivers, with full-spectrum sound, military precision and the might to back it up. The dual 4" woofers and 1" silk-dome tweeter team up to pump out soul-stirring music and commanding movie sound. Yet with a base only 8" x 10", this lean tower fits neatly into a small- to mid-sized living room, bedroom, dorm or den. And thanks to the curved-edge aesthetics and Gloss Black piano lacquer, the Intimus 4T looks fabulous wherever it goes.
We'd want you to have great sound at any price, but the Intimus statement is about value. Which is why you won't find another tower speaker anywhere that combines this level of performance, fit and finish.
Key Features:
- Dual 4" Woven-fiberglass mid-woofers deliver incredible bass and lush mid-range sound
- 1" custom designed silk-dome tweeter for smooth, clearly defined highs at even the loudest volume levels
- Hand-polished Gloss Black lacquer finish
- Contoured front edges and an exceptionally small footprint
- Anti-resonant cabinet
- Ten year warranty

Customer Reviews For Intimus 4T Tower Speaker
- Crystal clear and precise sound!! S. Sanu
- I accidentally discovered this website one day while going through reviews on hometheaterreview.com and I became interested. But buying something you never heard as well as not having any local store that sells them is always a risk. However 30 day in-home trial with free shipping both ways is no brainer. When the Speakers arrived they were boxed very well. They come wrapped in the pretty nice velvet bag with gold drawstrings. Hooking them up was very easy - 4 screws and a speaker cable that's it. There is an awful lot to like about Aperion Audio's Intimus speakers, especially the cost. The build quality is excellent, as is the attention to detail, such as threaded mounting points both bottom and back, gold plated binding posts. The High Gloss Piano Black finish is beautiful. It has such a perfect mirror finish. The drivers are of high quality and the resulting crystal clear and precise sound is one that is easy to love and listen to for hours on end. My setup is 2 5T's, 4T's, 5C, 2 4B's, and the 8D.
- Playing With POWER!!!! David B.
- This is my first high end speaker purchase and I was seriously blown away by the excellent performance that these speakers could produce. The levels that come out of them are so great I don't even need a subwoofer. These towers put out enough of that for me!! I would highly recommend these for an audiophile starter like myself that wants great sound but not at the extreme prices.
Aperion does a great job in providing you with great quality and not as much of a hit to the wallet. Their online docs and hotline were extremely helpful in allowing me to make the best decision for my purchase. Installation was very easy with the online documentation available on the website. I installed it all on my own and saved more $$$ than hiring someone else to do the same thing. Thanks Aperion!!!
- Excellent Surround speaker David R.
- I configured a "hybrid" system, using 5T's for the front and 4T's as rear surrounds. Initially, I was concerned about using the smaller 4T's, but I was delightfully surprised at the quality of ambient sound they provide. I used a Disney Blu-ray DVD as my test. Disney Blu-ray, an original adopter of Blu-ray, provides a superior test of surround capability. The 4T's blew my old Bose speakers out of the water.
- Best Speakers Ever Robert N.
- A few months back I started talking with my good friend and co-worker Jim Rock Arruda about speakers. I had never heard of Aperion and was really hung up on getting another brand. Jim brought his Aperion 4Bs into work and I was blown away by the sound! Totally took me by surprise.
So I decided to order the 4T Towers, 5C Center Chanel and 4B rear surrounds and I cannot believe how awesome these sound! My room is 24' long by 15' wide and if you close your eyes it feels like you are immersed in an ocean of sound. To top off this great product is Team Aperion customer service. Thanks Aperion for such a great product and service --- Blu Ray Bob ---
- Dazzling, Marvelous, Excellent Speakers Nishant P.
- After upgrading to 46" SONY LCD TV recently, I've been looking to upgrade my home theatre system as well for some time. As is true with any non-audiophile kinda of guy, I too was almost certain to go for Bose system, that was until I saw the review at cnet site.
Right away, I knew it was one of those items I should give a try & after speaking to Aperion Gurus settled upon the following configuration: 1. 2 4T's -> Front Speakers 2. 1 5C -> Center Channel 3. 2 4B's -> Surround Speakers 4. 1 8 Bravus -> Subwoofer
So far it's been an excellent addition to my Sony Blu-Ray & Onkyo TX-SR 606.
I have been listening to these speakers for a month now & received my subwoofer couple of days back. I mostly watch movies 20%, music 80%. So far, everything has been top notch quality. Listened to AR Rehman song "Yeh Haseen Vadiyan" & developed goose pimples. The sound so crisp & clear.
Fit and finish (piano black) is excellent, and customer support is second to none.
Keep up the quality and service!
- Surprising Sound for a very reasonable price Russell H.
- I started with the Bravus 8D subwoofer with a pair of 5B bookshelf speakers and was very impressed. The 5B is a powerful little brute but for my size room I felt I needed a bit more. I traded my 5Bs in for a set of 4Ts and could not be happier. These diminutive towers put out a very large and comfortable sound. The 4Ts and the Bravus 8D match up very well indeed to produce a very high quality sound over the full audio spectrum. Don't think that the sub is required however; these things pack a serious bass punch of their own. Great sound, gorgeous looks, impressive build quality and Aperion staff that are a pleasure to work with.
- Great all round experience! Casper V.
- What a great all round experience I had with Aperion Audio. Pure class. The speakers perform and deliver more than I expected for the price. Exceptional sound and quality from the whole set (5). What impressed me most however is the service from Aperion Audio and the quality of delivery. Every time I read a response to a support e-mail I could not but have a smile on my face. Great hardware, great people and a great experience.
- Awesome sound and looks UDAI S.
- I was looking for front speakers that can serve well for music without the need of subwoofer... which I was planning to add later. After auditioning a number of speakers under $1000 I was not satisfied so I decided to try 4T after reading good reviews about the speakers and Aperion customer service.
As soon as I hooked these speakers with my Denon receiver I was blown away by the sound and looks of 4T. I am amazed as to how well these speakers perform for both music and HT. I will be adding a subwoofer shortly but as of now I am very much satisfied with these speakers.
Aperion customer service is one of the best in the industry especially the online chat option with the Aperion gurus.
- Just one word 'WOW' Rajiv M.
- When I first hooked the 4Ts, I thought they were ok. But I didn't know that any speakers open up as you start using them. Man they have evolved. After 20-30 hours of use these speakers are a dream. I am so happy that I keep talking about them with friends, family and colleagues. Just Awesome. Good job Aperion.
- Exceeded my Expectations ROBERT R.
- I just wanted to take a moment to convey how thrilled I am with my Aperion 5:1 speakers. I have had these speakers for about 1 year now and I love them. Watching blu-ray movies and listening to music really make me appreciate them even more. I could not be more happy with your company and products. I have recommended Aperion to numerous people (don't know if anyone has purchased anything), but I am an satisfied / loyal advocate of your products and company. I am grateful to cNet for their review as I was not aware of your company. My speaker system gets better every day. Robert in NH.
- Love them! Preston Z.
- Had these speakers for only a week, and am so glad I went with Aperion. I am blown away by your prices, quality, customer service, and sound! I will be Aperion customer for life. My setup is 2 4T's, 5C, 2 4BP's, and the 10D. Love all of them!
- Impressive. Dan R.
- I've had the Intimus 4T speakers for about a year now and have loved them. I have them connected to a Sonos ZP120 which I use primarily to stream music from my network hard drive as well as from music services such as Pandora and Rdio. I know its not the purest audio set up but it is extraordinarily convenient and versatile. Anyway it sounds wonderful, and the 4T have a surprisingly adequate low end response. Did I mention they look wonderful too?
- Quite satisfied. Joseph D.
- Hmm, where to start...
Excellent customer service and company before purchase, during, and after. I feel like I'm dealing with people, not just a website.
I have a fairly small to average sized living room in my one bedroom apartment, and I wanted good quality, but not necessarily the largest and loudest speakers. I'm starting with just these towers, but I'll definitely be expanding to the full 5.1 system soon. When I received them, I was quite satisfied with the secure packaging, the velvety bag (looked like a giant bottle of Crown Royal), and I'm especially pleased with the quality of the wood finish (I got the cherry version).
My first impression of the sound was that it was "ok" but I adjusted a few settings on my receiver and gave the speakers a few hours to break in a little, and they sound like they've opened up. I don't have a subwoofer yet, so the bass is slightly lacking at times, just slightly. Even without the really low end tones, what you do hear is a clear, full, and open sound. Not too bright and tinny, yet the mids and highs are crisp and clean. I know that when I add the sub, it'll just make it that much better. But again, even without the sub, it's still acceptable, especially considering the size (only 4 inch woofers). I look forward to expanding my setup with more speakers from this company.
- great sounds Matthew B.
- Sound is really clear, full, warm, and true. Plays all kinds of music nicely (indie pop, pop, acoustic, country, hip hop, classical) Paired this with the 8D sub. My friend can't stop thinking about my speakers. They are nice and slim, don't take up much room but they don't sound small at all. Sounds good really loud, soft, and everything in between. I'm really happy with these speakers. Worth the $.
- Great speakers right out of the box David F.
- The speakers arrived right on time in very sturdy shipping boxes. Great unexpected quality touch was the 'very smooth' protective shipping bag surrounding each speaker. Very easy to follow instructions were included, though not really needed since the speakers pretty much speak for themselves. Sound quality is superb, clear, and crisp. I will be in the market for a TV entertainment speaker system soon and I will defiantly research what Aperion has to offer. I recommend this company and product. The tootsie roll candies and thank you note was a classy touch!
- Best Buy Pranaya M.
- Let me start by saying these are one of the best looking speakers, I got glossy finish. Best of all they are slim and occupy less space. You will start appreciating from the time you open the boxes.
My movies have come alive, there is no hissing sound which is usually associated with large speakers.
I was worried before I placed the order as I didn't see them in any stores and how they perform. But I reassure you that you can order them you will really like the sound quality and the size.
My request to Aperion is to have some more gap between the speaker terminal, it is a challenge to wrap the speaker wire.
- 4t tower speaker Brandon B.
- I love these tower speakers they look and sound great.

Pro Reviews For Intimus 4T Tower Speaker
- HomeTheaterReview.com reviews the 4T Tower Speaker
- "I'm often disappointed with the low-end performance of many floor-standing speakers, even some of those with larger cabinets and drivers that should be capable of decent bass. As I made my way through other forms of music and movies, that's the aspect of the 4T's performance that continued to blow me away - the bass that those little four-inch drivers were capable of dishing out was amazing."
"Considering Aperion's 30-day audition policy and the attractive price point of the Intimus line, there's really no excuse not to give them a try; you'll be rewarded with high-end sound and solid engineering. "

- Audioholics Video Review of the 4T Hybrid SD
The 4T Tower Speaker is the basis for the 4T Hybrid SD System.
"Aperion speakers are among the best bang for the buck in the industry. They have some really great products in a wide variety of styles and sizes to suit any need, and yet they continue to innovate their product line. We really like that. They also come with a five year warranty, free shipping and lifetime tech support. That's not bad. Not bad at all. If you're an absolute bass hog, maybe you can mix and match the system and upgrade the sub - either to a larger Aperion model or one from another company. In either case, Aperion's going to help you get the exact sound you want in your living space and the Intimus 4T Hybrid SD System is a great starter system."

- MissingRemote.com Review of the Intimus 4T Speaker
- "With great sound and build quality for the money, Aperion Audio's Intimus 4T tower provides an outstanding value. Combining this with a risk-free trial and a ten year warranty, it is difficult to not recommend that anyone considering new loudspeaker mains in a small or mid-sized room take a hard look at this pair. If there is a drawback, it is that the Intimus 4T's size demands sonic trade-offs similar to a bookshelf loudspeaker without the convenience of the other form-factor."

Mated with a decent receiver the 4T makes a serious home theater or hi-fi statement. The direct sale price includes free in-the-U.S. shipping."

Impeccably smooth, non-fatiguing dynamic sound, a wide soundstage combined with easy placement, and WAF in bunches makes it a great value. Add in a sub and you have instant full range magic. Top it off with Aperion Audio's 10-year warranty, 30 day in-home trial, and terrific customer service/support."

- GoodSound! "Great Buy" Award Given to the Intimus 4T Tower Speaker, November 2009
- "The Aperion 4T is a wonderful loudspeaker that could have easily been overlooked if sold through the traditional high-end retail establishment. For one thing, it's small -- it looks almost puny -- and lacks the physical "presence" of the more impressively sized speakers it would no doubt be standing next to. In addition, it's a truly neutral speaker designed to serve the music and avoid listener fatigue, qualities that are revealed only through the sort of extended and undisturbed listening sessions rarely offered by audio dealers. Yet have a pair (or more!) delivered to your home, as Aperion invites you to do, and see how easily they can be integrated into your lifestyle. The 4T asks little in terms of space, watts, or money, but play through them your favorite but imperfectly recorded LPs or CDs and they'll make the most of the good that's there while downplaying the bad. In a world of cynical hi-fi gear, the Aperion 4T is a true optimist. Highly recommended!"

Best mid-size speakers for the money
If you're serious about surround sound, you need to invest in a speaker system with some real gravitas--but most people just don't want the living room overrun with giant tower speakers. But the Aperion Intimus 4T Hybrid SD package manages to downsize the towers without sacrificing the sound. At just 34 inches tall and only 5 wide, these mini-towers gorgeous minitowers will fit into smaller rooms with no problems. And you can choose an 8-inch (shown), 10-inch, or 12-inch subwoofer, depending on your bass (and size) requirements.

- "For $650 a pair, sold direct with a 30-day in-home trial and 10-year warranty, the Intimus 4T from Aperion Audio is a no-brainer for anyone looking to get a little more serious about two-channel audio or home theater without breaking the bank. While it can be bested by a few speakers in its price range, including some bookshelf speakers, it possesses a magic combination of beauty, quality and practicality that is hard to overlook. If you're seeking a solid, almost full-range floor-standing speaker that isn't going to dominate your living space or your bank account, look no further than the Intimus 4T."

- Big Picture Big Sound 4T Review, June 2009
- "The Aperion Towers presented a realistic and three dimensional soundstage with pinpoint instrument placement, without the need for any simulated surround. Using the Pioneer receiver's "Pure Direct" 2-channel mode, the towers reached deep enough into the low bass themselves (around 45 Hz, according to the specs) so as to make the subwoofer optional for stereo playback. Some tower speakers have difficulty disappearing in the music, but the Intimus 4Ts imaged as well as a great pair of mini-monitors. This system really does satisfy the ears on a variety of 2-channel, 5.1 channel and 7.1 channel material."
"The sound of this system in a 7.1-channel set-up is deep, wide and expansive, drawing you into the action of movies, music and TV shows encoded in surround."
"This system really does satisfy the ears on a variety of 2-channel, 5.1 channel and 7.1 channel material."
"The performance that this system delivers compares favorably to much more expensive home theater loudspeaker systems."

- CNET 4T Hybrid SD Review - 8.8/10 (4T Review)
- "I started listening to the svelte 4T towers in stereo with the CD soundtrack to the film Perfume. The orchestral score had the weight and full-bodied dimensionality I expect from towers double the size of the 4Ts. We briefly compared the 4Ts with the 5B satellite speakers found on the Aperion Intimus 5B Harmony SD. The 4T's larger size was immediately obvious--the minitowers' sound was bigger with a richer balanced midrange."

Powerful 2-Way Tower Design in a Practical Size
To create a 2-way tower that doesn't require busting out a wall to fit it into your room, we started with our award-winning 4 Series bookshelf speaker. Then we tugged its svelte and attractive profile up-up-upward and added a custom-designed 4" mid-woofer to give it extra punch. And how did our Frankensteinish experiment work? Way better than the original. The Intimus 4T boasts the graceful voice of a bookshelf speaker and the sonic authority of a tower. Monstrous!
1" Audiophile-Grade Silk-Dome Tweeter
We engineered the 1-inch, audiophile-grade, silk-dome tweeter for optimal sonic performance—even at the highest volume levels—so you savor warm, natural sound with no harsh aftertaste. This tweeter's unique venting system uses a rear chamber with multiple rear vents outside the neodymium magnet, a departure from conventional systems that use a single vent through the magnet's center. Leaving the magnet fully intact results in a stronger motor structure with a lower resonant frequency, smooth response and amazingly pure, authentic sound. This tweeter is the high point of our speaker—literally.
Dual 4" Woven-Fiberglass Midrange Drivers
Our custom 4" woven-fiberglass midrange makes your music, movies and games come alive. This robust and versatile little driver is tough enough to handle the thump-thump-thump of lower midrange frequencies, yet precise enough to support a choir of voices. It may be small, but our midrange driver packs a solid punch by delivering pure, distortion-free sound and flawless dialog.
Furniture-Grade Finish
Each of our Intimus III speakers wears the new black, but it's anything but basic. We apply layer after layer of lacquer, hand sanding and polishing between coats to achieve a deep and brilliant shine. The precision-fit cabinetry unites the acoustic qualities of the most expensive loudspeakers with a curved-edge aesthetic that lets the Gloss Black Intimus III blend effortlessly with any décor.
Anti-Resonant Cabinet
Every Intimus 4T cabinet is made of solid 15 mm-thick medium-density fiberboard (MDF) to eliminate unwanted cabinet vibrations that muddy the sound. Muting the speaker walls ensures that the only input to your ears comes from your CD or DVD.
5-Way Gold-Plated Binding Posts
When you make a connection, it's all about convenience. Whether you use banana plugs, bare wire, round pins, flat pins or spades, our binding posts ensure effortless attachments to your new speakers. And though the gold plating may make you feel regal, it has a practical purpose too: Gold resists corrosion and provides the best possible connection to your receiver.
Custom Aluminum Bases, Floor Spikes and Footers
Each Intimus 4T speaker comes with a set of custom-cast aluminum bases plus floor spikes and footers. The spikes give you tighter bass by decoupling the cabinet from the floor. But given that spikes can put the hurt on your hardwood or other rigid floor surface, we include footers for protection.
Acoustically Transparent Grille
Nothing stands between you and exceptional sound. We designed a sonically invisible grille that not only looks great, but also protects your precious speakers from curious fingers, claws, snouts, tentacles and trunks

Biological models of sex tend to view love as a mammalian drive, much like hunger or thirst. Helen Fisher, a leading expert in the topic of love, divides the experience of love into three partly overlapping stages: lust, attraction, and attachment. Lust is the feeling of sexual desire; romantic attraction determines what partners mates find attractive and pursue, conserving time and energy by choosing; and attachment involves sharing a home, parental duties, mutual defense, and in humans involves feelings of safety and security.
Three distinct neural circuitries, including neurotransmitters, and three behavioral patterns, are associated with these three romantic styles. Lust is the initial passionate sexual desire that promotes mating, and involves the increased release of chemicals such as testosterone and estrogen. These effects rarely last more than a few weeks or months. Attraction is the more individualized and romantic desire for a specific candidate for mating, which develops out of lust as commitment to an individual mate forms.
Recent studies in neuroscience have indicated that as people fall in love, the brain consistently releases a certain set of chemicals, including pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which act in a manner similar to amphetamines, stimulating the brain's pleasure center and leading to side effects such as increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and an intense feeling of excitement. Research has indicated that this stage generally lasts from one and a half to three years.
Since the lust and attraction stages are both considered temporary, a third stage is needed to account for long-term relationships. Attachment is the bonding that promotes relationships lasting for many years and even decades. Attachment is generally based on commitments such as marriage and children, or on mutual friendship based on things like shared interests. It has been linked to higher levels of the chemicals oxytocin and vasopressin to a greater degree than short-term relationships have.
Enzo Emanuele and coworkers reported the protein molecule known as the nerve growth factor (NGF) has high levels when people first fall in love, but these return to previous levels after one year.
Interpersonal love refers to love between human beings. It is a more potent sentiment than a simple liking for another. Unrequited love refers to those feelings of love that are not reciprocated. Interpersonal love is most closely associated with interpersonal relationships. Such love might exist between family members, friends, and couples. There are also a number of psychological disorders related to love, such as erotomania.
Throughout history, philosophy and religion have done the most speculation on the phenomenon of love. In the last century, the science of psychology has written a great deal on the subject. In recent years, the sciences of psychology, anthropology, neuroscience, and biology have added to the understanding of the nature and function of love.(wikipedia.org)

The last few months have been eye opening, I have been on this site quite a bit to say the least. I remember posting my incomplete gear list on the other section which was 9-10 pounds and I thought I couldnt ever go lighter. But now I have. I have used most of the gear listed out in the field, with my exception of my new EE 10d quilt and a few other items like my .6oz knife.I am still trying to decide what inflatable i'd like to upgrade to (reccomendations?). I also realize I could drop another pound if I got a cuben pack and shelter, or went without bug protection... But that is going to have to wait until I wear this new gear out.5.85 pounds suited for nighttime lows around the 30's, and hiking most of the time.Click here: http://www.geargrams.com/list?id=8993
Does hiking most of the time with lows in the 30's mean you will not be carrying an insulated jacket?I don't think that is a good idea. Don't see any rain gear either.
Lows around 30's is meant to describe the low temps this kit is capable of(worst case scenario) I don't do winter hiking, mostly summer. If needed I have an atom lt jacket I can throw in last minute if needed. And with that and my windshirt I am pretty toasty in colder situations. Also I did forget my rain gear, it is a disposable poncho that weighs 1.1 ounce and cost .98 cents. Ill add that to the list.
+1 Nick.I've had a Tachyon anorak. Great piece of gear, but wouldn't want to sit around in <40 temps with it alone....Where's insulation or raingear?Are you wearing pants? A long sleeve shirt?Clothing seems a bit lacking.
Guys clothing varies so much depending where I go, sometimes I'm 13k feet up and other times ill be in Hawaii with nothing but a swimsuit. So it's hard too say :) What I listed for clothing are things that will always be with me, and I could add a merino baselayers and arcteryx atom lt if needed. But I don't do much winter hiking.

Well this kind of got off on a wrong start. But thanks anyways.
"Well this kind of got off on a wrong start. But thanks anyways."Nah, just a simple issue of semantics with your OP is all. Nick and Craig were just trying to give constructive criticism because they thought this was a winter list, I think.If this is a summer list, add a rain poncho and you seem pretty good to go. The 30 degree bag in the summer seems a bit overkill, but not sure where you will be. For example, I am planning on upgrading to a Zpacks sleeping bag 40F/5C degree to use 3 season, but for here in Sweden/Norway. In the spring/fall just swap out wool base layers for the lighter synthetic ones I have my current SUL summer list, which is here if you want to see it: http://www.geargrams.com/list?id=10426My current bag is only rated 55F/13C, but I sleep in all my clothing if needed if there is a cold sap. Once I upgrade my bag, I can then cut weight on my clothing worn--lighter pants, jacket, etc. in the summer, and in spring/fall add clothing when needed.So I guess what I am saying is that your SUL list seems like you are trying to push it to a 3 season list when perhaps it should be more of a summer or 1+ season list. So I say save weight and swap out your 30 degree bag for something lighter, or just a nylon or silk liner if it is really warm. To make it a 3 season SUL list, looks like you will have to switch out your pack and/or shelter for lighter stuff (does not have to be Cuben, though that is a good choice, if expensive). Or just mod it a bit and be happy with a 6-7lb UL gear system.Right now my spring/fall gear list on my profile is around 7lbs and can go lighter based on a few variables, maybe to 6lbs. A 5lb BW and a 6lb BW does not really feel much different, but a 4lb BW vs. a 8lb BW does from my experiences.Good luck and hope this helps. Next time, just a little more details or more clear language (this is a challenge we all struggle with, myself included, and not always possible to do) helps. :)
Thanks Cesar for your input. I am actually considering picking up a down vest to add a little more warmth in camp in the shoulder seasons. I am thinking about the stoic down vest, or maybe a montbell one. 4-5 ounces would be better. I am thinking I don't need a full hoodie because I already have the zpacks down hood. Any recommendations on a really light down vest?
I am happy with my Montbell Ex UL down vest. Just under 4 ounces.
Good call on the vest, especially since you have the down hood. I have a down hat, but I prefer the comfort of a synthetic beanie, plus easier and more practical to wash. I have a synthetic vest and would love to upgrade to a down one, but with new summer bag and Cuben bivy already up on the list, vest will have to wait. I really like vests, and with wearing lots of layers, it makes it easier to move your arms around too rather than feeling like the Stay Puff marshmallow man. My vest is 6.7oz/190g but was cheap, only paid 100 SEK (15 USD), and it is on its third year of use.If it is warmer out I will leave the vest, and if it is colder (under freezing at night) I will add my down jacket as an insulating layer.Clothing worn vs. clothing in BW is a whole other puzzle. After going UL then SUL is when I bothered to really put my clothing worn under the microscope, but it was not as hard as I thought to upgrade my system. This summer my clothing worn should be around 1-1.5kg/2.2-3.3lbs.
I think I will end up getting the MB ex light, they just seem hard to find, they may be discontinued but the weight is admirable so im still looking.One more thing, I ordered a BA Q-core SL (4.5 r-value)66 inch long sleeping pad online last night. Its going to weigh about 16-17 ounces. Sadly I dont think im going to be in the 5 pound range anymore unless I keep using my CCF.Still I am at 6.43 pounds, and once I add a down jacket ill be around 6.9 pounds for a kit thats pretty versatile so im happy. During the heat of the summer ill have no problem dropping a few warm things and ill be able to hit 5 pounds again.
I have a Western Mountaineering down vest that's great. I think that it weighs 4-5 ounces. Has served me well for many years. I think that it's 900 fill but I could be wrong; certainly 800.
Can someone actually copy and post this list? Both my computers cannot view it.
"Sadly I dont think im going to be in the 5 pound range anymore unless I keep using my CCF. Still I am at 6.43 pounds, and once I add a down jacket ill be around 6.9 pounds for a kit thats pretty versatile so im happy. During the heat of the summer ill have no problem dropping a few warm things and ill be able to hit 5 pounds again."I know this is heresy on an SUL thread but I think for each of us the game is really about finding the setup we are happy with. Don't let a label (SUL) drive you into discontentment.
Ill try and post a picture, check your plugins, I think you may need to download Abobe Flash.
"I know this is heresy on an SUL thread but I think for each of us the game is really about finding the setup we are happy with. Don't let a label (SUL) drive you into discontentment."Right now Im at 6.37 pounds, If I add more insulation I will be around 7 pounds which I am happy with.One thing that is bringing me out of the 5 pound range is my new BA Q-core SL air pad. 16.9 ounces, I had a neo air trekker before, and love the packability. My pack is super tiny too w/o the CCF needed to be carried. Overall I am very happy with the current baseweight, I have some sweet gear and have progressed as a hiker with the help of this forum. Thanks all.
Your list looks great. Have you thought about shedding an ounce or two with a different light? I use the Fenix LD01 which clips to the bill of my hat. Weighs .85oz, including a AAA battery.
My 2.4 ounce Petzyl works well for right now. But if I did get anal about a few things I could definitley shave some weight. But I think im to the point where what I have works, and If I wanted to drop weight im going to do it by dropping pounds...For example my pack which is made of Xpac weighs 15.6 ounces, I could replace it with a Zpacks zero that weighs 5 ounces. I could also cut 8 ounces off my shelter going with cuben. My shelter is a silnylon hexamid replica that BearPaw made for me (I helped design it).It can fit two people, it doesnt need a ground sheet, and has full bug protection. Best of all its simple. I could go cuben but I think im close enough to SUL that im happy with my setup.Let me know what you guys think of it, I havent shown it to anyone yet. Weight is 18.7 ounces with litetrail 1mm guylines.
The tent looks great. What did it cost? Considering the same thing in cuben is near $400.
About $250.

CAPE VINCENT The Town Council is working toward resolving a dispute over the proposed expansion of Water District 6.
At their April 18 meeting, town officials will consider a resolution allowing at least some property owners involuntarily included in the expanded Water District 6 to opt out.
Councilman John L. Byrne said properties that are hooked to the villages municipal water system and are up to code in terms of infrastructure should not be forced to join Water District 6.
I do not feel it is the towns job to shut off users that have an agreement with another municipality, he said.
Cape Vincents town board has been taking heat lately from several Pleasant Valley Road landowners after expanding the boundaries of Water District 6 to include 20 additional properties for planning and grant application purposes.
These landowners have argued that they should not be dragged into Water District 6 just to make the multimillion-dollar project more affordable for the original districts residents.
To avoid potential conflicts of interest, Deputy Supervisor Brooks J. Bragdon and Councilman Clifford P. Schneider said they would abstain from voting on this matter because Mr. Bragdon was involved in the sale of the some of the properties, including Mr. Schneiders.
If the other three town officials decide to allow property owners to opt out of the project, however, its unlikely that Water District 6 will be eligible for financial assistance from the state or federal governments.
The town has tried and failed twice to secure grant funding, essentially because the residents income was too high.
The estimated $2.8 million project would serve more than 90 homes and the Tibbetts Point Lighthouse facilities west of the village.
But even if the town board votes to allow some Pleasant Valley Road landowners to opt out of the Water District 6 project, Cape Vincent officials believe they should be included in a municipal water district as the state departments of Health and Environmental Conservation frown upon outside water users.
As the town board we have a responsibility to make sure all infrastructure is up to code, and water is safe for the residents. If the people hooked up to the village line, per an agreement with the village, as outside users choose to form a district we would be happy to help them form a district at minimum cost, Mr. Byrne said in an email to the Times.
Several years ago, the village Board of Trustees was notified by DEC that it did not have a permit to sell water to outside users.
Unfortunately, if those same users choose not to form a district and the DEC and/or DOH choose to enforce their shut off policies, we the town board cant help those users, Mr. Byrne said.

Troopers say 24-year-old Leanna Norris of Auburn is facing charges in connection with the death of her 2-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
BANGOR, Maine (AP) _ State police say a Maine woman has been charged in the death of her 2-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
Troopers say 24-year-old Leanna Norris of Auburn was taken into custody Wednesday following her release from a medical center where she was receiving treatment.
The body of her daughter, Loh Grenda, was discovered around 3 a.m. June 23 in her mother's car in Stetson. Police believe the girl was killed in the neighboring town of Newport.
Norris was indicted last week on a murder charge.
She was taken to the Penobscot County Jail and is due to be arraigned Friday. It was unclear Wednesday if she'd retained a lawyer.
Autopsy results haven't been released, but the state medical examiner's office declared that the girl's death was a homicide.

hi i love aardman its my life and i want to be a animater when im older im making my own film called mouse trap im working on it now im building a house for it but dont know how to make one could you give me a link on how to make a house for animation
what sort of house connor. i could help you as my films in progress

I would love too work in Animation too, if you do become one I would like to work! i do like making stuff too!
I haven't every really made any models. I do some sewing and beadwork sometimes, though. It's getting colder out so I was thinking of making a Feathers McGraw tea/coffee cosy. Him, or a Gromit with his new chef hat. It would be my first W&G Creation.
sounds like a cracking idea - I look forward to seeing a picture of it in our creations gallery!
i made these cheese scons with my gran last week and there really nice.
1)heat the oven to 220 degres C or gas mark 7 and grease and flour a metal baking sheet.
2)sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and rub in the butter so that it looks like breadcrumbs.add the grated cheese
3)in a small bowl mix the milk and egg together with a fork and then add this to the flour and butter and grated cheese.
4)after a bit of mixing(time to get your fingers messy)the mixture should form a nice dough.
5)tip out the dough onto a floured surface and roll out with a rolling pin so that it is about 2cm thick.the take a round shaped cutter and cut out the scones(the mag says six from the mixture but i got 9)
6)place the uncooked scones on the baking sheet,brush the top of each with a little bit of milk and put on a dusting of parmesan cheese.
7)put the baking sheet carefully into the middle of the oven-remember it will be very hot-and leave for 15-20 mins or until they have risen slightly and are a lovely golden colour.
using oven gloves take the tray out of the oven and leave your scones to cool.
150g self_raising flour
25g butter
1 teaspoon of baking powder
3 tablespoons of milk
75g of grated cheese
1 large egg
a little exra milk
a dusting of gratd cheddar

Hello, i am new at the world of animation. I am from Portugal, the land where José Mourinho came from, and Cristiano ronaldo to .
I would like to hear some opinions about my 3 mini films i have done recently. I will link the site in youtube so you can see the films. They don't have anything about wallace and gromit, so i am not really sure if i can post them here. As i said the films were my first ones so they are not so good because i need to take lots of photos, and they have some problems with the light, my hands appear on the first one...many things happened.
Well if any of you is interested on it please go to:
Please i would like to ask for comments, bad or good ones please let me know who can i do better.
(Sorry for my inglish, trying to learn so it goes better)

I've only tried adding this to spelt breads, nothing completely free of gluten yet, but it's makes the bread soft and hold together well.
Xanthan Gum.

2014 Aston Martin DB9 Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2014 Aston Martin DB9 Base Coupe at this time
2014 Aston Martin DB9 Base Coupe 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.

POTSDAM The public comment period of Mondays village board meeting became heated when Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis attempted to cut short comments opposing the state Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act.
The argument began when village resident Dean M. Laubscher took to the podium to ask the Board of Trustees to pass a symbolic resolution condemning the NY SAFE Act, similar to those already passed by the town of Potsdam and other municipalities. Mr. Yurgartis interrupted, saying the matter has been discussed so much that it has become redundant.
The village board has already heard about this issue on three separate occasions, and we have already made a decision, he said, adding that the board does not plan to take any official action on the matter.
Mr. Laubscher would not take no for an answer.
I am a taxpaying resident of the village of Potsdam, and I will address the village board, he said.
He acknowledged that gun control is a sensitive subject to bring up on the day of a shooting rampage at the Washington Navy Yard that left 13 dead. At issue, he said, is the states sudden passing of the SAFE Act with minimal discussion, a move he called draconian.
After he finished, village resident Melissa A. Kellison stood to present a similar argument. She was interrupted several times by Trustee Ruth F. Garner, who eventually ordered her to stop this nonsense.
Mrs. Garner and Mr. Yurgartis both argued that the village has heard the same arguments many times before and allowing further comments on the matter is merely delaying other village business. It is not, they said, within the villages purview to pass legislation that does not directly affect the affairs of the village.
Youre going to the wrong venue. Why dont you go to a state representative? We have no power, Mrs. Garner said.
Trustees Eleanor F. Hopke and Stephen J. Warr were more receptive to the suggestion that the board vote on a resolution.
Mr. Warr said official action should be taken. Whatever the result, it would end the argument, he said.
Whether they like the answer or not, at least we can put this to rest, he said.
Trustee Ronald Tischler was not at the meeting.
Although Mr. Yurgartis opposed the idea of a vote, he stayed after the meeting to discuss the matter with the members of the public in attendance. There are still no plans for action, but Mr. Yurgartis said he will continue to discuss the issue with board members to decide whether to settle the matter for good.

I read this article, and since all I've ever known is America, I was wondering what is it like in other countries? All our media shows us is wars, bombings and sweatshops.
Also, are there any online news sites that could be recommended? I no longer bother watching the news on TV, it is obviously biased at best. I'd especially like to be able to read about advances in medicine. I know for a fact American medicine is held up by greed (I know researchers who have shared some breakthroughs they made but cannot release because their sponsors have no way to profit from them), and I'm curious how the rest of the world fairs.
Views: 358
truthout.org and counterpunch.org are good news sites. I also like maxkeiser.com for financial news; the second half of his shows are informative, and the first half is quirky entertainment.
There is ONLY one totally reliable source of accurate, unbiased news and science in the U.S. - PBS! That's why Romney and the Republicans want to kill it.
Another pretty good news source is al Jazeera, but Americans have been brainwashed into believing it is anti-American. It isn't. It merely reports what it sees. Like the 7 year old, naked child it photographed in Fallujah, covered with horribly painful red blisters from the illegal white phosphorous bombs brave American pilots dropped on his home. Mercifully, he died shortly after the picture was taken. But that picture was largely censored from U.S. media, and al Jazeera offices were subsequently bombed because they dared show it to the rest of the world.
If you are interested in science & medicine, DO NOT watch the National Geographic Channel, The Discovery Channel, or TLC (The Lunatic Channel). All three of these cable channels provide some good programs, but a lot of pseudoscientific and downright batcrap crazy paranormal nonsense, as well. And they don't bother to let you know which is which. Can you believe it? Millions of credulous, gullible Americans tune in every week to watch a few aluminum-hatted crackpots stumble around in dark forests NOT finding bigfoot. And a supposedly educated teacher friend told me about how she saw on TV that they've discovered that mermaids really existed. I believe she saw it on Nat Geo. The scariest part? These idiots are allowed to VOTE! The latest insanity is "Long Island Medium." I don't think Theresa Caputo would want to read MY mind.
For science, your best bets are "NOVA" and "Nature" on PBS.
For history, the documentary films of Ken and Ric Burns - again on PBS - are among the best ever produced. Why don't you see them on NBC, CBS, or ABC? Because they just might tell some truths that Proctor & Gamble don't want you to know. If lying propaganda is your cup of tea, watch "Fox News."
The Republicans are desperate to find a way to kill off PBS, because it tells the truth instead of propagating the self-aggrandizing American mythology presented, not only by the corporate media, but by elementary and secondary history books.
Do you want a great example of what I'm talking about?
Are you aware that this is the bicentennial year of the War of 1812? Bet you weren't. Why is that, especially since it gave us our revered National Anthem? It's a war anniversary hardly noticed, much less celebrated in the U.S. because if we did, it might force the REAL story to become widely disseminated. Instead, American students are fed American exceptionalist propaganda, like the Johnny Horton piece of tuneful jingosim, "The Battle of New Orleans."
American children are taught in the 5th, 8th, and 11th grades that the War of 1812 was fought to prevent the British from seizing American sailors on the high seas. It wasn't. American schoolchildren believe that we defeated the British in that war when Andrew Jackson won a small battle against them in 1814. We didn't.
But that war IS being celebrated in Canada, where it is known as a great victory in the War Against America, NOT the War of 1812.
What REALLY happened was that some American politicians (what we call today "neocons," "warmongers," and "chickenhawks") decided to attack, defeat, and annex Canada for the U.S. They launched three uprovoked invasions and were soundly defeated, mostly by Canadian militia, all three times. The British got involved by sending a few troops to help protect Canada. Had they not been in a major war with France at the time, they might well have taken back the territory they had lost a quarter century earlier. The British troops quickly chased the Americans out of Washington and nearly succeeded in burning down the entire capital. They withdrew, however - not because of American military prowess - because of bad weather.
And don't get me started on the war against Mexico. That, like nearly ALL American wars, was fought in the name of "Manifest Destiny" - the euphemistic label attached to the almost uninterrupted, two-century obsession of wealthy Americans to conquer the world. It's presented in the history books all American children read as almost a divine right of American expansionism. They don't tell school children in the U.S. that almost ALL of America's wars were started BY AMERICA for the purpose of extending its political, cultural, and economic hegemony, worldwide. They never utter the word, "imperialism."
American history books proudly depict Teddy Roosevelt and his glory-bound "Roughriders" charging valiantly up San Juan Hill in Cuba. What they don't tell you is that they met almost no resistance - that this was a war against Spain instigated entirely for the purpose of stealing Spain's many possessions, worldwide.
The rest of the world knows all of this and watched it play out most recently in Iraq. But American school children and viewers of American commercial media are kept ignorant, because the truth doesn't advance either the American heroic narrative or the acquisitive goals of its economic elite.
I admit, part of the reason I never got too deep into history (other than my inability to remember dates), is because history books are written by the victors, so of course everything I read is going to be biased. I find myself more interested in learning about history as I get older, and hear stories. I guess I'm more interested in anecdotal stories than broad generalizations.
So much of what PBS does, conflicts directly with theist philosophy - the NOVA series telling the world the Universe is billions of years old, programs about dinosaurs and life on earth millions of years ago - kinda negates the world being created in six days. An uninformed public is far more easily led - ask any Redneck voting for Romney, who, if elected, will steal him blind.
Nah..that's not what really happened...you see, we had proof that the Canadians had weapons of mass destruction. Don't misunderestimate me..fool me once, shame on...well, whatever.
I find a steady diet of PBS most satisfying. NOVA, Frontline, and others are all eagerly gobbled up. Best part - NO COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed, NOVA is awesome!
Between you and me, I'm thinkin' that Big Bird oughta get the gang together - Elmo, Oscar, the Cookie Monster, the Count, Bert & Ernie, the whole gang - and go after Mitt Romney!
Now that is something I'd pay to see!
Hi Jennifer,
Australia is sometimes called little-America because we generally follow in America's footsteps.

Bell Plantation
PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter
PB2 is made with premium quality peanuts that are slow-roasted and pressed to remove the fat. All natural with no artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Same consistency as full-fat peanut butter with all of the roasted peanut flavor, but with more than 85% less fat calories.
Bell Plantation has succeeded at perfecting the all American staple - peanut butter. Gone are the days of denying oneself the pleasure of a PB&J sandwich because it has too much fat and calories. The perfect lunch item, snack, and kid's preference has just gotten healthier without losing any of the flavor of traditional peanut butter. Through a unique process created by Bell Plantation that does not involve the use of any chemicals nor does it alter nature's balance in peanuts; over 90% of the fat is removed from the peanut. Essentially the oil is squeezed out of roasted peanuts and what remains is a peanut powder. The resulting all-natural product is unbelievable.
Two tablespoons of traditional peanut butter contains about 180 calories, while two tablespoons (approximately 12 grams) of PB2 powder, and contains just 53 calories. PB2 also contains approximately 40% protein by weight. PB2 is a powdered peanut butter that can be reconstituted with water or any liquid of your choice - juice, jelly/jam, or honey. Dip fruit directly into the powder, mix PB2 with a non-dairy frozen topping, make a milkshake or smoothie, or add it to a protein drink for improved flavor and increased protein content. Mix 2 tablespoons of PB2 with 1 tablespoon of water and stir until smooth. Can be mixed directly with jelly or jam for a PB2 and Jelly sandwich. Use your imagination with other liquids to develop your own unique flavors.
The possibilities for PB2 are limited only by the individual imagination. It is also wonderful for baking either reconstituted or as a powder. Back packers love the convenience and the nutritional intake of the elderly or ill can be enhanced when included in the diet. PB2 is the ultimate perfect food...great taste, low fat, increased protein and versatility.
Chocolate lovers will love Chocolate PB2. The same great PB2, but with just enough chocolate to make it a delectable, guilt-free spread. Delicious on graham crackers, fruit, "salty" crackers, as cupcake icing, ice cream topping, and in smoothies. These are but a few of the uses for this chocolatey, satisfying treat.

May 6, 2014
BY MIKE LUCASUWBadgers.comMADISON, Wis. -- He wasn't about to tell a lie, a small white one or otherwise. Despite the seemingly endless physical and psychological testing, the inevitable profiling by measurables and the unavoidable grey area that comes with such a selection process, James White has thoroughly enjoyed the pre-draft experience."For sure," he said. "It only comes around once."But the former Wisconsin tailback has been on the clock since the Badgers' loss to South Carolina in the Jan. 1 Capital One Bowl, and he can't wait for the National Football League draft to finally take place so that he can get on with his life -- in whatever direction that it may take him.
Anticipating the culmination of the process -- the 79th-annual NFL draft will be held Thursday (first round), Friday (second and third rounds) and Saturday (rounds 4-7) -- White said, "I'm nervous and excited all in one. But I'm a pretty even-keeled person so I'm just going to try and stay relaxed."Much easier said than done."I'm just hoping to hear my name called," White said with understandable trepidation.Believe what you will, and the mock drafts are hardly reliable predictors, but most projections have White going somewhere in the middle to late rounds. It's a new world. Running backs, as a whole, have been devalued. Last year, for the first time since 1963, not one was chosen in the first round.Asked if he had a feel for when he might get drafted, a round number, White said, "I have no idea. You hear all sorts of things. It doesn't matter to me when I go as long as I get my name called. Besides, it's what you do after that (after the draft). That's all that matters."As for the proliferation of all the football bloggers and all of those mock drafts, he admitted that they're difficult to ignore especially when friends or family will reference them. "But you can't really pay attention," insisted the 22-year-old White. "Those aren't the people making the picks."After jumping through all the hoops in late February at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, White drew this favorable review from Pro Football Weekly's Nolan Nawrocki: "Offers a balanced enough skill set to factor as a recyclable, complementing, change of pace back in the pros."James White was that -- and so much more -- during his four-year career at Wisconsin.
• • • •
"He's a perfect fit for any team," said UW director of athletics Barry Alvarez, a College Football Hall of Famer. "Like most of our kids here, he will be a good locker room guy; he will be a good citizen in the community. He's a guy who could go in and quietly play in that league for a long time."Alvarez, who coached 16 years at Wisconsin, has always been a fan of White's versatility. "He's been a consistent runner for us," he said. "But he also can come out of the backfield and catch the ball. He can block, too. He brings the whole package. I think somebody will steal him in the draft."
White caught 32 passes in his first three seasons combined with the Badgers. Last year, he had 39 catches, tying for the second most on with tight end Jacob Pedersen (Jared Abbrederis had 78.) "The game has changed, you have to be versatile, you have to be able to do it all," White said.Dating back to his prep career in Florida, White has always shared carries, whether it was at St. Thomas Aquinas with his close friend Giovanni Bernard -- the first running back taken in the 2013 draft, to Cincinnati in the second round -- or John Clay, Montee Ball and Melvin Gordon at Wisconsin.White went over 200 carries in a season just once; as a UW senior, he led the team with 221. Prior to that, he had 156, 141 and 125 rushes in each of the three previous seasons. So there should be plenty of tread still left on his tires, no small thing for someone with four years of college experience.As a competitor, White would have loved to have seen his name on the marquee a little more often. He started just twice his first three years. But there's something to be said about relatively low mileage. "The biggest positive," he noted, "is less wear and tear on my body. I'm thankful for that."White made the most of his UW rushing opportunities by running for 4,105 yards. Only Ron Dayne (7,125), Ball (5,140) and Anthony Davis (4,676) rushed for more. Terrell Fletcher is No. 8 on the all-time list. In the early '90s, he ran for 3,414 yards while sharing a lot of turns with Brent Moss.Fletcher, a second-round pick (51st overall) in the 1995 draft, went on to play eight years in the NFL with the San Diego Chargers. He was utilized primarily as a third-down or change-of-pace back.In 1996, he had a career-high 61 receptions. In 1998, he rushed for 543 yards.Are there dots that can be connected between the 5-foot-8, 196-pound Fletcher and the 5-9, 206-pound White? Alvarez saw different-type runners. But he also saw some similarities. "Both of them have good hands," he said, accenting the importance of "getting into the right system" as a tailback.The NFL scouts had to like what they saw out of White in the Senior Bowl. He led all running backs with 11 carries for 62 yards and a touchdown, the only rushing score of the game. In addition, he had five catches for the North squad and was named the Most Outstanding Player on offense."It was a great experience overall just competing against the best seniors across the country," White said. "It was high intensity each and every day at practice. It was not like a normal practice during the season. Guys were going full speed. I tried to answer some of the questions they had.""They" would be all the scouts and coaches that attended the workouts."I felt comfortable in the game," said White. "I just wanted to go out there and play at a high level. Whenever I step on the football field, I give it my best effort, so that's what I did. For sure, I wanted to show them I can run inside and outside and I catch the ball and I can block."White showed that he can run a decent 40, too. He was timed in 4.57 at the scouting combine."Most scouts thought I would run slower than that," White said."He's got deceptive speed," Alvarez added.White tested well at the combine, on and off the field."I had a positive experience," he said. "I tried to stay focused on the task at hand and show them how athletic I am along with showing them that I know the game of football. I feel I'm very knowledgeable of the game and I'm able to pick up details pretty quickly."White, who trained for the combine in South Florida, is represented by Sports Entertainment Group, headed by Jeff Whitney and Adisa Bakari, who graduated from the UW law school. Among their clients are running backs Maurice Jones-Drew, Matt Forte and Le'Veon Bell."They've got quite a few clients who have been through what I've been through already and they've shared (information) and made it really easy for me," White said.The hard part is waiting -- waiting for the draft, waiting to hear his name called.White will watch the draft from his grandmother's house in Miami. That's where he has been staying since the combine, along with his mom and dad. The Whites will play host to a small draft party. "Family and friends," he said. "Nothing too major."Throughout the draft process, he has stayed in touch with Ball -- "I talk to him all the time," White said -- and he has made a point of heeding the advice of his parents who have assured him, "You'll get your opportunity and you will make the most of it."White has worked out for a handful of teams, including the Chicago Bears and the Miami Dolphins. But if you're thinking White, who grew up as a Philadelphia Eagles fan, is pulling for one destination over another, think again. "There are no favorites anymore," he said.When in doubt about his future, he has reminded himself to "stay patient, stay in shape and stay positive. It's just a part of who he is. "That's how I've carried myself," White said. That goes all the way back to when he was a youngster and he dreamed of being in this position one day.That day is almost here, draft day. "I don't know exactly how old I was when I started, but I've been pretty much playing football my whole life," he said. "And it's right around the corner now."
