text: Police arrest man who dialed deputy to order marijuana AP | WRCB-TV | 05/12/2008 MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Warren County authorities arrested a man they say misdialed and ordered marijuana from a sheriff's deputy. Sheriff Jackie Matheny said Deputy Jason Rowland was off duty when his cell phone rang and the voice on the other end asked if he had any "smoke." Rowland played along and the caller ordered $40 worth of marijuana. Rowland told the caller to meet him behind a shopping mall later on Thursday, then he called investigators. The alleged buyer showed up and police charged him with solicitation of drug sales and DUI. Information from: Southern Standard, Southern Standard I had no idea that you could be charged with a crime for asking someone to sell you some weed! It seems that you can be convicted of a drug crime when there were no drugs involved at all.

Has anyone else experienced anomalies in their insulation capabilities?My recent example: I was sleeping out under a Trailstar on a KookaBay DAM in a Montbell Spiral Down Hugger #3. The night was relatively calm, clear, and got down to around 40-45 F. I got cold. BWWWWAAHH?I've been in this setup and various other setups in my Montbell bag in temps down to 30F and have been perfectly fine. In fact, the following weekend I camped in the exact same spot with the same exact conditions, except that it got down to 26F. I was warm. I just thought that being cold at 45F was really strange. Anyone else have weird things like this?
The insulation performed the same on both nights.Your body did not.
You are correct, sir. However, the basic premise of quite large variances in *perceived* performance still remains! :)I should have added something regarding seemingly tiny variances (metabolism, slight humidity changes, health [i felt a bit off the weekend where I got cold at 45F], etc...) and how they can greatly affect how you feel.
Edited by T.L. on 10/27/2010 21:14:59 MDT.
What you eat is a contributor to your body's ability to keep you warm at night. I also notice a difference of perceived warmth after washing up with a wet bandanna after setting up camp vs. just climbing in with all the sweat of the day's journey.
Eric, I'm aware of the positive effect that eating before bedtime can have on the metabolism, but I was surprised by the 20F difference. I'm gonna start packing some jalapenos!
It's not really an anomaly because it's always like this, but I find my NeoAir adequate in winter conditions sleeping on snow. This night it was maybe 5-10 degrees below freezing at 5500':
Edited by dandydan on 10/27/2010 22:40:17 MDT.
Dan, what does the rest of your sleep system look like? and 5-10 degrees F or C?
For winter use, my sleep system is: - NeoAir Small (9oz) - 1/4" CCF back pad from my ULA Ohm under my feet - GooseFeet Down Pants (7.3oz) containing ~3oz down - My traditional (not UL) 600fp down jacket. This jkt is quite heavy (32oz) due to it's heavy shell fabric, cheap down and heavy feature set. I would estimate it's of similar insulation value as a Montbell Alpine Light Down Parka. - GoLite Ultra 20 sleeping quilt (19oz) with 9.5oz of down. 9.5oz of down is more consistent with a 30F rating for quilts. For 2010 GoLite increased the down to 11oz in their 20F rated quilt.On top of that I wear the liners from my boots or ski boots on my feet and I wear a toque. I use the down jacket and pants for use around camp as well, so I'm carrying 28oz of sleeping specific insulation. I am wearing quite a bit of insulation to bed in these winter instances, but it's all down so it's not of that much insulation value beneath me. When I sleep on my side on the NeoAir I really don't notice much heat loss. That's what has surprised me.Here's a picture from a snow cave last winter. It was a below zero in this cave because my water bottle froze solid. This is from when I had a full length NeoAir, but now I use a small one with a pad under my feet. I actually just wore regular socks on my feet this night. That's just a tarp under my NeoAir to keep my bag from contacting the snow:The picture I posted in my earlier post was taken a later date when I was using my small NeoAir. The temps were -3 C when we went to bed and it definitely dropped a lot lower than that...likely in the range of -5 to -10 C.Another member of our party used just a NeoAir also. He combined that with a warmer sleeping bag (not sure of the rating) and some light clothes. I'm not too sure on his specifics. Here he is blowing up his NeoAir:

awesome pics. I'm amazed that you can stay warm in those temps with a near and 20 degree quilt, even with the extra clothing. Will
I just got the Allen & Mike Really Cool Backcountry Ski Book. book and it mentions doing something to generate some body heat before going to bed. They're talking about winter camping but the same thing applies in general. Warm up, go to bed warm, and your sleeping system has more to work with. Seems like pretty good advice but I'd never done it. I just try to not lose any warmth in the evening and then go to bed. Does anybody do this?
must have taken forever to build that cave.
Yeah, pretty sweet snow cave!
It did take a while....maybe 2 hrs. The bummer was that the handle for my shovel fell out of the back pocket of my pack on the way to this location so I had to dig it with just the shovel head.Here's looking the other way at the entrance. I was able to enter and mostly block the door with snow blocks except for the vent at the bottom which I varied in size using the red shovel head. I also had a top vent of course.I just like this pic. It's the next morning all packed up and ready to ski with 15cm (6") of fresh pow.

Just a couple of minutes of jumping jacks/arm swings/running on the spot really gets the blood pumping.The other technique that I find really makes a difference is the mid-night snack of chocolate or nuts or even better - chocolate covered nuts!
if you want to keep warm at night1. eat a good snack before sleeping ... apparent cold is a function of nutrition ... winter camping is not the time to diet ... just ask the polar bears2. go to bed warm ... if you cold in yr bag do sit ups till you warm up ... convert those calories into heat3. go to bed dry ... you can put yr damp clothes on top of yr bag or in a plastic bag with you in the bag to dry ... have dry underwear to sleep in4. keep yr body heat togheter .... ever play fu manchu in winter when yr cold, that is take you arms out of your sleeves and put them next to yr body ... notice how its warmer, just like mitss vs gloves ... do the same and dont isolate yr body parts 5. use all yr clothing ... keep the driest and most insulating clothing close to you ... usually thats yr down bag ... layer the clothing on top of your bag or in yr bag in order of insulating properties and dampness ... remember that vapor will travel outwards so that the last layers is where any moisture will likely end up ... unless you're planning to dry out clothes or need to fill dead space .. why waste energy on heating up less insulating clothes6. use yr fuel ... melt and boil tmrs water before you sleep and use a nalgene as a hot water bottle7. use a piiiss bottle ... it wastes energy to warm up the piiiss if you hold it in ... use a durable piiiss bottle and you have an instant hot water bottle ... instant 36C warmth ... recommend using a different shape bottle than yr drinking one8. sleep with someone else ... spooning works best ... can be combined with #2, activities with a partner to warm you up .. bigger person should be the spooner and smaller person the spoonee to maximize coverage ... spooner should also breath on spoonee so as to not waste the warmth from the lungslol

False."7.... it wastes energy to warm up the piiiss if you hold it in ... "
youll find similar references all over ... maybe its all an urban legend ... it really doesnt take any energy to keep the water in yr bladder a body temp in winter ;)lolhttp://www.wintercampers.com/2010/07/02/sleeping-warm/Using a Pee BottlePee if you feel the urge. Holding it in requires your body to waste energy trying to heat up the water in your bladder. Getting out of your warm sleeping bag to put on boots and venturing half clothed into the snow to pee is annoying. To avoid exposing yourself to the elements use a pee bottle. If you sleep in a bivy sack a pee bottle may be a mandatory accessory. http://www.psychovertical.com/bigsleepA 1 litre Nalgene piiss bottle is worth it's weight in gold on any confined bivi - and at least one British climber has died falling of a ledge going to the toilet. Clip it between both climbers so it's handy - and don't get it confused with the water bottle. If your cold, but feel you need to urinate, don't hold it in all night, as your body wastes vital energy keeping this urine at body temperature.

Hi Mike, I use a KookaBay DAM, which unfortunately cannot be blown up by my breath. Since I have to use a BA Pumphouse, it fills my pad with the ambient temperature.

Thread of the Day: What can I do with the $5,000 I Saved Buying a Kia?
What an ill informed, petty idiot. Just
You are incorrect about the lifespan of rotaries being "70-80k miles" which might have been true in the early RX3s and 4s, where the seals were not reliable. I owned a used 85Rx7, with a 12A, and bought it for $1500 from the original owner. Aside from suspension, interior and a minor modification to the ignition system (I put a high performance Jacobson ignition, using the car's igniter as the trigger & single coils per spark plug), kept the original carb and removed all the emissions stuff. This car ran great with 95k miles on it. I knew of other original owners who had theirs for over 200k without a rebuild. The point is, as long as one does not run the rotary out of oil or overheat it, there are very few moving parts or torque stresses on the crankshaft (rotary has an eccentric shaft, not a regular crank) so these engines if not redlined all the time, could turn over 300k before overhaul. You do not understand the rotary engine.
Bolt on a Pettit racing supercharger on the Renesis and you get 300+ whp. That solves most of the performance issues - take a look of the SC Rx-8s whipping corvettes and other sports cars on youtube.
Don´t know what kind of mileage you get though. However, that´s not the whole point. Anyone can build a 300+ hp engine - but if it ain´t worth driving it ain´t worth building...
MAZDA are you listening. send us a MX-5 sized coupe with the current renisis to north america . only offer 5000 turbos every other year as a Mazdaspeed car. and put 8 quarts of oil in the car for north america. make it light just like current Mazda R and D.
and for gods sake tell everyone its a serious car for a serious owner . not everyone should have such a technologically advanced car . its more than a car, its more than a Mazda, its SPIRIT!!!! right!!!!
the rx8 is under powered because . america was not ready for such an advanced car as the FD3S RX-7.
americans want to add fuel and thats it . any performance car needs love . any turbo car needs more . the FD RX-7 was was such a remarkable car it cant be described . you must drive one . preferably track it. you will say what everyone else does . OMG i have to have one . but not everyone should be let into the club . not everyone is responsible to the rocket ship the car is . in 93 a Ferrari was the only more performance oriented car in north America . i bet if mazda charged 20 % more the car would have been in hands more prepared to care for it . you dont keep up with corvette or Ferrari and get good mileage. lol . the car was too cheap. so America got the wrong notion of what it was and IS . A HERO CAR.
ghost of akina is missing the point . who cares if it has issues . who cares if it gets bad mpg . mostly haters. i build rotary cars everyday for street and race. i build more race prepped cars than most . i only build rx-7s . why ? because there the cheapest lightest way to go fast. there more dependable than any other engine to date. the reason you dont like the car is because its not a honda civic . its a Ferrari . the issue is mazda sold stupid Americans the best engineered car ever and didnt tell you it was . you assumed it was a honda . but its a Ferrari killer . faster lighter more nimble and cheaper than any car its equal. the reason the car sucks is America the un educated consumer and federal regulations. im running a car raced for 12 years never rebuilt . its as fast as a 500 hp corvette and is a 200 hp 86 rx-7 . it kills people when a old ass rx-7 blows there 100k muscle car off. lol. google chrimpatty watch the videos.
the issue with any car is the owner . mazda did not ever represent the car as it is . the pinnacle of automobile technology . they let you believe it was a no maintenance civic. its a two stroke it burns oil because its injecting it into the air fuel mix at higher rpm . not because its worn. the motors are known as very reliable at the track , where people care for there car. its un reliable on the street where you dont maintain basic recommended service. ive owned over 100 rx-7s and have 12 or more now. ive seen more cars than most people care to . 99% of cars are a reflection of the owner . so show me a car in disrepair . the driver is not maintaining the car. mazda has the balls to create and lead technology . and you think everyone should drive the same car. lol park your new hundai next to my rx7 and know one will be looking at your torky gas sipper . so to each there own . but to say research and development is a waste of time . then you need to log off and ride your horse back to the barn.
and yes the rx-8 is way under powered . why . because they knew you would not take proper care of their turbo charged Thoroughbred.
also as mentioned a rotary will run on anything from hydrogen to moonshine. there is a lot of room for growth. and a lot of advancements on the table we arent privy to. and no i cant type im a builder

The next Mazda halo sportscar is going to need a 50% increase in mpg and more like a 50% increase in HP/TQ(I didn't consider the lighter weight when I 1st said 100%) to be competitive again with the current market. There's no excuse for heavy American cars weighing almost 1,000 lbs more with 5-6.2 Liter V8's going 10+ more miles to a gallon of gas.
I'll admit a 50% increase in HP/TQ would be enough with it pushing only 2800lbs instead of a 100% increase. But honestly, unless the next RX__ is well under 3,000lbs, has at least 300HP, and 30MPG it'll be a failure in my eyes. Currently there's no sense in a halo sportscar having the power of a Civic Si and the mileage of a 10 year-old full size truck.
Let me be clear, 273lbs is simply not enough tq. Especially since your car is highly tuned in order to acheive such an amount. The gas mileage is in fact embarassing on the Renesis, the newest and best mileage is 16/22 in a car that only weighs 3064lbs propelled by a mere 1.3 liter. Since you're an old set in your ways kinda person, that's been in (imho) the best iteration of the RX line (FC) for 22 years now, you of course don't want to change over to pistons, but I can assure from experience: There's nothin' wrong with a 2.0t I-4. Mine is bone stock and scores (according to Edmunds.com) 19/28 mpg-I average 25 mpg on the daily grind, in a car with similar weight to the RX-8. Also that bone stock 2.0t I-4 has gobs more tq than your highly tuned 13b, 340lbs with a factory warranty up to 100k miles, & in the first 40k miles has yet to burn oil. Rotaries always have & always will perform less and cost more.
the daily drive is a '07 solstice gxp with the dealer installed factory warratied flash, no performance parts just a flash and MAP sensor
I wouldnt go as far as calling laser ignition a gimick but I would say it's an emergining technology that has yet to be proven in the automotive industry. If our Navy (US) can use a laser to ignite fires on small moving ships, within time, we can light a small amount of air and fuel in an IC motor. Time will tell. Thats all im saying and I dont mean to nit-pick your words.
Im not sure how you quantified a 50% increase in feul economy with a 100% increase in HP cause thats just not happening (and if you derived those numbers somehow from me, we are misunderstanding each other) but my point is mazda needs a true halo car, just as Nissan, GM, and Toyota have one. Honda had one back in the day; I hope they decide to bring it back. Halo cars arent made to be for the masses as a Mustang, carmaro, etc are but rather to showcase your brand. An RX-7 should scream, "this is what a Mazda can do".
To power this new halo car, it should be a wankel motor. Its "different" as mazda claims they are as a company. Both the 13B-REW and the 20B-REW are extremely potent power-plants. These motors were artificially restricted to 275 HP under a gentlemen's agreement among the Japanese Manufacturers in the early 90s. Imagine an RB26DETT powered R34 with only 275 HP! Sucks for us (the market) back then but thats just what they did. Now, with no (less) restrictions and 30+ years of technology, its exciting times for us car guys.
You bring up a good point mentioning the sensitivity of the economy to gas prices because it is an issue but thats the beauty of a wankel. If it burns, you can basically run it as fuel in these motors. However if you are in the market for a true halo car, you pay for that kind of performance with each fill up.
As far as efficiency I was talking about gas mileage, seeing as that's what I went into and talked about I thought I made that clear...
Laser igniton is a gimick, it wil not improve mpg by 50% while increasing hp by 100%. The current rotory engine barely makes 200 HP with mpg in the teens! A turbo will help but that won't do it either. IF Mazda produced a 450 RWHP street car it will NOT get mpg anywhere north of 20mpg. When is the last time Mazda made a 550+ crank HP mass produced street car? Never. Here's a little trivia: What is the most powerful mass produced street car Mazda ever built and how much HP did it have?
Seeing how volitile and unpredictable gas prices have been in the past decade, ranging from under $1 a gal to over $4, back to $2, over $4... it's not "very low" on anyone's selling point except the rich. And you don't have to be anywhere near rich to buy a 400 HP sportscar these days. Mustang GT, Camaro SS, both brand new in the mid $30k's.
It depends on what you mean about efficiency. Volumetrically, the wankel is far more efficient than a pistion engine of equal displacement. And with only essentially 3 moving parts, the wankel is basically a two-stroke motor so the power produced by one of these will typically be more than its piston bretheren. Regarding gas mileage, you are absolutely right, no doubt about it. The 13B's run a much richer air/fuel mixture to help ensure a more complete burn during combustion. The added fuel is what kills the mpgs. The hope is, with the lasers, is to acheive a more complete burn during combustion so they can dial back the fuel ratios and thereby increase the mpgs. But if they arent used in F1, it may be a tough sell but who knows, I hope they can work it out. (Actually, spark plugs are considered "heavy" in F1 but thats another thing)
I will say this though, if you are buying a car with 400+ HP, fuel economy is more than likely very low on your list of selling points. May be nice to have, but to the "sports car" market, poor mpgs is kinda a given. Yes, the wankel is a novelty and its not without its faults, but I think mazda should capitilize on being different and go big. I promise you, a turbo-charged three-rotor 16X will START at 450 HP to the WHEELS. Put that motor in a chassis that weighs 2700lbs and you will have a rocket-ship. The mustang (althought a great car) will NOT be its competition.
The problems with the rotary engine is 1st, it's very inefficient. I can't think of another 200 hp engine that gets under 20mpg while in a small aerodynamic lightweight car. There are full-size trucks that get more mpg than the current RX8. Now the RX8 is a great car, superior handing... but it's engine fails it and I doubt increasing the displacement and adding laser injectors is going to get it even cloe to 10 more miles out of a gallon of gas PLUS 100 more hp. Look at the Mustang V6, 300+hp AND 30+mpg! And that's a 3500lbs American car.
Plus rotary engines are not reliable, they often have a lifespan of only 70-80,000 miles between rebuilds.
Along with Mazda, also FEV and AVL are currently investing (or just heavily advertising in the Press) their WANKEL engine Range-Extenders.
Besides the known simplicity, lightweight and package of the WANKEL engine, FEV and AVL are proud of the vibration-free superiority of the Wankel, as compared with the conventional engine.
At http://www.pattakon.com/pattakonPatOP.htm and http://www.pattakon.com/pattakonOPRE.htm Mazda, FEV and AVL can find engines that are more vibration free than the Wankel engine.
With respect to the inertia forces and moments (inertia vibrations), an OPRE engine driving two counter-rotating electric generators is as vibration-free as a Wankel range extender.
With respect to the combustion-pulses (power vibrations), an OPRE range extender is way more vibration free than any Wankel range extender: it is pure mathematics.
Manousos Pattakos
Well played.
Mazda is all about revolution.They work for the sake of automotive development even if it cost their company's future.For example first rotary then monocoque based type body (mazda 5) that no other manufacturer think about it (later toyota and honda also follow the idea and producing stream and wish).Remember when 787B was disbanned from entering motorsports competition due to its 'tiny engine' that hummiliate other well known car manufacturer with gas guzzler engine.Cannot wait for next mazda SKY launched.It suits carbon emmisions act without depending on hybrid technology
Mazda needs to give up on the Wankel engine. It will never overcome its limitations and never compete with the conventional Otto engine for output, emissions and efficiency.
Hyundai is getting 274 horses and 269 ft-lbs of torque from a 2 liter displacement engine getting 34 mpg on the highway to go along with that power while meeting emissions standards. It's going to be very hard for Mazda to bring a rotary to those specs even with a laser based ignition system. Not certain how lasers would be any better than an electronically generated spark either. Electrons arcing across a gap creates a large number of reactive oxygen radicals that ignite combustion. I'm not at all convinced that concentrated light waves from small lasers will have the same effect. Light waves would directly heat the fuel, but that type of ignition is more appropriate for a diesel engine rather than a gasoline one.
Mazda needs to stick with the Sky G engines. Sinking precious resources into a rotary engine based sports car seems a little extravagant for a company barely holding onto market share. Otherwise, I think their RX8 replacement won't even be visible in the upcoming Genesis coupe's rear view mirror, never mind the Mustang.
Are you listening mazda?
I've always wondered if car companies have people who's responsibility it is to scour the web for market opinion. The basic complaint about the RX-8 is that it's not an RX-7. How much horsepower does the RX-8 have?? If its not 300+, the market isnt listening. Yes, HP isn't everything but its marketing and the sluggish sales help prove it. The last gen RX-7 was a halo car that could compete with cars twice its price. Mazda really needs to make a car that can perform with the exotics. The FD could run neck and neck with a R34 (and the 911) and the next one should be no different. Slap a third rotor on there to fix the torque issues, add a turbo (or two), direct injection, friggin lasers, have a body that looks like a re-skinned FD (or de-tuned Furai), and call it a day.
Price? If it comes out at $60k - 80k so be it. You'll sell every one. Too pricey? Have a tiered approach. Sell a 3-rotor mazdaspeed version that'll compete with a GTR and have a normal, lowered priced 2-rotor version that'll compete with the vettes and 370s. Just dont make it impotent and fugly like the RX-8. The new design language of the Shinari concept is just plain beautiful. If you want to go upmarket, you need a true Halo Car and it should be the RX-7. You dropped the ball with the RX-8, we'll forgive you if you come correct.
Slopoke - '94 FD3S
GhostOfAkina, you have no clue as to what your talking about. I have a 89 Mazda Rx7 Turbo II and I have had zero problems, yes it burns more oil that piston engined cars but it was designed for that, as far as torque I do have plenty of torque (273lbs) but that is due to it being turbo, I personally have never had a rotary without one(never owned or driven the Rx-8) but my car is extremely reliable and I burn pretty much everything on the road, v8's included. Also I don't get bad gas mileage, something like 18/26 and can get even better if I stay off the turbo so to make a long story short let the rotary live its a great engine and the handling of my rx7 is second to none. It will leave whatever car you have in the dust, period point blank.
Love it.
I think Mazda is becoming what Honda used to be, an engineering company that focuses on weight, efficiency and performance. I hope they stick with it!
WASTE OF TIME! Rotaries will never develop torque that today's big, fat, heavy cars need. Well that and they'll never stop burning oil, burning apex seals, burning your wallet, guzzelin' vast quantities of gas, breaking down, not working...ever!
Besides all the brokeness and disfunction rotary owners will always have pilling up, is it really a fun to drive sports coupe when it's always in last place because they're so slow?
Any car can stop and corner better a slower speeds
handling is great on the RX8, that I buy
but it was always down on power compared to it's peers, you can't be one of the best performing sports cars when you're slow.
Have you ever driven an FD3S R1? I drove that and an '82 RX7. For the price, both these cars handle like $100K+ sports cars. I've driven 997 Porsches too, $100K+ sports cars.
Wolf!! Wolf!!!
HA! You should work for Mazda. Seriously!
Replacing spark plugs with lasers? That's a pretty unusual idea. If it works, then more power to Mazda! If it makes engines more efficient, then other car companies should follow suit.
What would really make the next Mazda rotary kick ass is if you could fire those lasers to scorch your enemies! :p
Mazda is an underrated motor company. Sales prove it. But I do love all their products from the Mazda 3 to the MX-5 to the RX-8. Looking forward to their new SKY engines!
I think the theory makes this an awesome idea, but I hope that Mazda will have reliability in mind. I hope that Mazda can continue refining the rotary engine and put it in more vehicles. It is interesting that the larger displacement will come from a smaller complete engine. More Mazda innovations!
You guys act like the RX-8 isn't one of the best handling and performing sports cars of all time. I don't know why it is being compared to the older, less refined RX-7 that it successfully replaced. I can only assume Mazda will make the next generation even better, and I look forward to seeing it happen. Lasers and all.
people who buy these type of cars really careless how it works, as long as it has kickass performance thats all that it matters just like the old RX-7.
also, the laser is rumored to positioned on the head of man eating frickin sharks
alternatively, the laser may be positioned on the moon, creating a giant "death star" which may or may not be humped by verne troyer
LASERS?! YES! That's awesome. I own an Rx8 right now, and love it, but LASERS?! That would make things so much cooler.
Seems to me the only rotary powered Mazda that really performed well was the RX7 Turbo. Why don't they make the turrbo charged rotary engine any more?
I really don't care, it will still be a hard to work on, oil burning, gas guzzling engine with little torque. It came close to being the future; but the design limitations have never been over come:)
sounds kinda weird but that's what I always thought that mazda was a "out of the box" thinker. We'll see in two years or so. Never really was a fan of the new RX-8. Hopefully, they will go back to something similar to their RX-7.

* Prices may differ from that shown
When my faithful mouse of many years had given up the ghost and gone to mouse heaven, I saw in the computer shop that progress had also touched mice. The shop-assistant talked me into a cutting edge, battery run mouse whose movement wouldn't be hindered by a cable. Silly me, it had never disturbed me that my mouse was connected with the computer. For the new mouse I'd have to buy batteries which would add to the price, especially as I forgot all the time to switch the thingy off because I wasn't used to doing so. The few times I did switch it off were too much for the mouse, though, and the switch fell off after only three weeks.
So back to the shop where I had no problem giving it back because of the warranty of two years. This time I opted for a Corded Mouse, I had learnt my lesson. I took the cheapest specimen on offer which was the Logitech Corded Mouse M125. It's understandable that mice and other small electronic gadgets are packed in plastic cases to protect them from being broken by customers mauling them, but it's bad that thusly I can't get a feeling for the product I'm buying.
According to Amazon the measurements are as follows: 20,7 x 14,5 x 8 cm ; 181 g. That means for British readers 8,15 x 5.709 x 3.15 in; 6.385 ounces. If this were true, it wouldn't be a mouse but a veritable rat! Ca. 89 x 55 x 36 mm; 65g are more like it, for you 3.5 x 2.2 x 1.3 in; 2.09 ounces (I hope I've got this right, I measured the thingy with a ruler and scales. Do go metric asap, PLEASE!) So it is a mouse after all, but it's smaller than my long-term one I had got used to and too small for my liking. The fingers lie well on the top, the scrolling wheel in the middle can be operated easily. But its body is too small in my opinion. I've never understood why the smaller should be the better when it comes to gadgets. When I bought a new digital camera, I chose a slightly chunky one, I want to hold something in my hands and have a firm grip on it. I'm sure my hand will get used to this Logitech Mouse M125 over time but at the moment I still dislike it. I wonder what craftsmen or builders who've got hands like loo lids because of their jobs do with such a toy.
Everything is easy with it. You plug the USB cable into the laptop USB port and can start using it, no software is necessary. Pull out the cable to the length you need, it works like the cable of a vacuum cleaner, it stays put once you've reached the length you need, if it's blocked, pull at it slightly and then release it, it'll work again. The cable can be stored in a small storage area at the bottom of the mouse should you wish to do so, for example when you travel.
Like all modern mice my mouse rolls smoothly across the surface of my desk, no pad is needed.( The mouse pad firms must all gone bankrupt. What does one do with an old pad? Can it be used for anything else?)
I'm right handed and can't say anything about using the mouse left-handedly, I've read in a review that it's also OK.
My mouse is dark grey with light grey stripes on the side (Logitech call it silver). The mouse can also be bought in white. Amazon sell it for 11.95 GBP. Three years warranty.
This is a fantastic little mouse
Its not only easy to operate but appears hard wearing and looks timeless on your desk.
This type of mouse has been around a number of years which means the technology is old but also tried and tested so nothing should go wrong with this product.
There is a good length cable that comes with the mouse and it will work with USB1 and USB2 devices.You may find the cable isn't quite long enough if your base unit is on the floor but i haven't had any issues
Installation is easy as its plug and play so windows will recognise the device and provide installation and also power.
I love this mouse and its great as a cheap backup gaming is easy with this product
This mouse is a bog standard device that does everything it says on the box
In conclusion
This product is cheap works well and is easy to install
The mouse is also made of hard plastic and is hard wearing definitely worth the money a must look for everyone with a windows based machine who has a spare usb socket
As much as I love using laptops for the convenience and portability of them, one thing that irritates me is the lack of a mouse! I find the trackpads to not be very reliable, especially when I am editing photos or something that requires precise movement of the curser. I therefore decided to look for a cheap mouse to use for these occasional tasks.
I didn't want a wireless mouse as I have owned one before and haven't been very impressed, the signal wasn't very constant, and the curser sometimes jumped from one side of the screen to the other. The other problem is having to replace batteries every few months, which gets tiresome after a while.
The M125 therefore seemed perfect. It is small, lightweight, is used via USB, but the really neat thing about it is that the USB cable actually retracts into the mouse itself! This saves space and reduces messy wires hanging around.
I purchased this mouse from Amazon 2 months ago for £15, and you can probably get it for a similar price, if not lower now.
The cable for the mouse comes in at 27 inches in length. This is just enough length for the cable to reach nicely around your laptop, without too much strain, and without excess cables lying around. The mouse itself has dimensions of 1.9 x 4.3 x 9 inches. Due to the fact that you don't need batteries for the mouse, it weighs only 6.4 ounces, which is really light for a mouse!
The mouse has three buttons and a scroll wheel in the centre. The scroll wheel is sometimes a bit tough to use for scrolling, it doesn't move as easily as other mice I have owned in the past. It is also quite tough to click the third button, which is the scroll wheel itself. This isn't a problem though as it actually prevents you from accidentally clicking whilst scrolling through. The other buttons work perfectly, not too stiff or too loose.
The mouse is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux computers. You don't have to install any software at all. You simply plug the mouse into the USB port and your computer automatically detects it and within about a minute it works!
The mouse is designed for ambidextrous people, which is a bonus, as I am right handed and my boyfriend is left handed, so we can both use it without any problems!
The mouse tracks very well too. It is very accurate and precise. If the computer has a LOT of processes running then it is sometimes a bit slower and choppier, but for normal day to day use, it is very good.
The cord is very easy to pull out, no problems at all with that, and once it has been pulled out, it stays out, and doesn't go shooting back in again! It also retracts very smoothly too back into the body of the mouse. Once it is retracted it is impossible to see, the cord is completely hidden.
I've even used this mouse without a mousepad and it's worked really well. I've used it whilst I've been relaxing on the sofa, and used it on the arm of the sofa, and it still tracked accurately and well!
All in all, this is a great mouse. It's is cheap but it works extremely well for the price you are paying. It would be great for travel, and it fits well into travel laptop bags. Really recommended.

commercial property for rent or lease in Stet (MO), Industrial Space For Lease.
Stet commercial real estate for lease, rent,, and leased investments.
Find Stet industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & Stet shops. Locate a Stet warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Any Stet commercial lease is simply an agreement between the parties that sets out the parameters for the business arrangement. The potential for future adversity is more than real if the terms are not fully understood and considered at the time of signing. A standard lease will have been prepared that will naturally protect the landlords interest in most eventualities. A successful leasing agreement should reflect the issues faced by both landlord and tenant and should consider the needs and requirements of each party.
Looking for commercial real estate to lease for your business there are some things to keep in mind: budget, location, and length of term contract. Taking your time to research total costs, location (traffic, crime rates, local economy, commute time), and the condition of the real estate (does it need reconstruction, updating?) will allow you to be totally prepared to make the right choice for your company and reduce costly mistakes in judgement. A good broker can help you navigate negotiating contract terms and conditions while a lawyer will make sure your contract meets your needs and is viable for your business.
Your long term business plan and Stet real estate commitment should be aligned as most real estate leases and investments are long in duration. Business leaders need to anticipate future growth and requirements of the business to be positioned for the best and worst possible scenarios. Define the space you need and make sure the area can be designed to incorporate all your requirements. Will the layout satisfy employee expectations and will any possible employee relocation, or commute, to a new Stet venue be achieved to everyones satisfaction. Consider proximity to facilities and amenities such as Stet shopping, health care, childcare, etc.

Fabulous sleeping bag. We own several for both our children and they've been one of the best baby buys we've made.

on 14 July 2015
Such a great sleep suit this is the second one we've bought once my daughter outgrew the first one.
Have washed and washed it and it's still kept its colour and the hole for the car seat is just genius!
on 02 June 2015
Like all other items I have bought from Jojo, the sleeping bags are very well made. Got two for my daughter and now I don't have to worry about her arms getting cold. Very pleased.
Lindsay Todd
on 22 May 2015
good quality and a useful item I'm told - this was reqested as a gift for my granddaughter as she had grown out of the smaller size!
on 05 February 2015
Love these! This is my second one since my little one has outgrown the first. Totally worth the extra money. The arms keep her really snug. Lots of growing room so will last for ages. She even tries to put it on herself at bed time so guess she must love it too!
on 03 February 2015
Excellent sleeping bag, with detachable arms. Nice and warm for all these cold nights.
on 29 January 2015
Great sleeping bag plenty of room & great
That u can adjust length with popers
Picked this one because of the sleeves
Great on cold nights
on 31 December 2014
I love these sleeping bags, we have two now. I originally bought one for our then 6 month old to wear when camping but now he always wears it for bed. There aren't many sleeping bags with arms and I think it's this feature that really puts this product in a different class from other bags. Our son stays warm, asleep and snuggly all night, the holy grail for parents. Oh, and it comes in lovely fabrics too!
on 30 December 2014
Bought this for the Winter as our son kept stirring in the night and I thought may be cold? The sleeves have made all the difference great idea, no more stirring! Love the fact they are detachable so can use this sleep sack for longer. well made and washes well another great value product
on 30 December 2014
This is a great sleeping bag if you are travelling or at home. We have a cold house so the sleeves really keep our son warm and asleep in the early morning! This is the third one I have bought now as we had them for my daughter too. They haven't worn out just the wrong colour!!
on 17 December 2014
Really warm and cosy. Only downside is the zipper is too short and trickier to put my daughter inside than with the zip on the side.
on 16 December 2014
This is the second of these sleeping bags I have purchased as my son has just grown out of the smaller size. The arms are very useful for colder locations and the car and we've found it is brilliant for putting our son in the car at bedtime and transferring him with as little disturbance as possible the other end when we've needed to drive a distance. Useful that's it's not white, we have the navy one and it is very practical although takes a while to dry.
on 15 December 2014
Excellent sleeping bag. Really warm and cosy and looks great too.
Quick and efficient service.
on 02 December 2014
This sleeping bag is lovely and soft. It also washes very well. Would highly recommend to family and friends.
Only negative - I dont think there are enough poppers to attached the arms
on 27 November 2014
Brilliant sleeping bag, especially love that it keeps our little one so snug and warm and can be used for travelling. Would highly recommend.
on 26 November 2014
Great for travel and use at home. Soft, generous size. Would definitely have at least two, one to wear one to wash. Love that the age range is 18 mo to 4 yrs so can get great wear out of it.
on 24 November 2014
This is a lovely sleeping bag - very cosy jersey material and the detachable arms are great because depending on the warmth of the night you can leave them off or add them. it's very roomy so for an 18 month old it's large but my LO seems happier in it to the younger sizes where her toes are touching the bottom! Great for travel with the spaces for the car seat straps to pass through but it doesn't affect the comfort if you are using it as normal in bed.
Mrs j Darwell-Taylor
on 24 November 2014
Great service and quick delivery. Only problem with sleep bag is zip doesn't go down far enough for easy access as other sleep bags do. It is very nice and soft tho and good to have option of detachable sleeves.
on 20 November 2014
Bought this for toddler who wriggles loads but arms get cold so liked the detachable sleeves. Lovely and warm, well made and great delivery service. Great product and long enough to last for a good few years.
on 18 November 2014
The sleeping bag is soft and looks comfortable. However, the item has a strong 'chemical' odour, although this will probably go with washing. We already have the jersey 3.5 tog which we love. Unfortunately we had to return the travel sleeping bag because 'next day' delivery actually took 5 days and arrived after we set off on holiday.
on 16 November 2014
Bought this sleeping bag for my 2 year old. Initially it was very warm and soft. After a few month and a few wash, the sleeping bag no longer feels like a 2.5 tog but maybe 1.5 tog. The filling inside had either gone thinner or moved down. My dd constantly has cold hands and feet during the night although room temperature is 22 degree. Not well made product.
on 12 November 2014
This sleep bag is great - warm and cosy, even cosier in the cold months when you can add the arms. It is big enough to last for years which is great.
Lynsay Bailey
on 08 November 2014
These are FANTASTIC. This is the second bag we have in this style as our now toddler outgrew his last one (like children do). Arms on poppers are so useful as in the winter they are lovely to keep the little ones warm and snuggly. But the poppers mean that they are easy to remove if it gets warmer. The jersey fabric means it is lovely and soft.
As a travel sleeping bag it has a hole at the front and back for the car seat straps - but they are covered by a flap with a popper so if you don't want or need to use this feature it does not cause a problem.
Top quality. I recommend these for any little wrigglers :-)

on 06 November 2014
Best sleeping bag you can buy! Soft, cosy, warm to touch even when it's been in a cold place. Detachable sleeves are brilliant and the fact that you can use it with a car seat or pram harness even better. We had a second hand one first and loved it so much that we bought more :)
on 09 October 2014
Vey warm and great idea with the detachable sleeves. Soft aswell
on 07 October 2014
My daughter is 15 months and quite tall. She slept really well in this. We look forward to using this whilst travelling for many years to come. The zip could be designed slightly differently so that it becomes easier to get into.
on 23 September 2014
I love the fact that this sleeping bag is suitable from 18 months to 4 years by just extending the length with the popper buttons. The sleeves are removable for warmer nights and there is a hole for the car seat belt so that when we are out in the evening, our child can be snug in the sleeping bag, fall asleep in the pushchair, be transferred into the car seat and finally be put to bed without being woken up. I love the white/navy stripes too!
on 01 September 2014
Brilliant sleeping bags! I have just bought the next size up for my 20 month old daughter, very pleased with it, very cosy, soft material - unlike other quilted sleeping bags which feel cold at first. Love the detachable sleeves for colder weather too. Great service too, thanks Jojo :)
on 03 April 2014
This sleeping bag with arms is perfect for my little one who doesn't stay under her covers no matter what we do! Such a fidget, this keeps her warm however hard she tries to escape!
on 18 March 2014
Absolutely fantastic sleeping bag very handing for taking trips, or coming back from the relatives house and you need to make a car to cat transfer! Would highly recommend
on 14 March 2014
I love these sleeping bags and use it twice a week to transfer sleeping baby home from nannas. They are brilliant. The only problem I have found with the next size up new one I have just bought, is the hole that the car seat goes through is not big enough for my new Britax car seat. I have had to make the hole larger and re stitch it. It was taking forever to fix it through the original hole and waking up baby. Other than that they are excellent.

Bought this sleeping bag for our 18month old. It's really nice and cosy, and is great for transferring little ones to and from the car when asleep. It's roomy just now so will last us quite a while.
on 03 January 2014
Really nice cozy sleeping bag. My 1 year old is very happy in it, and so are we as she moves around the bed constantly
Lucy P
on 25 December 2013
My son was waking up throughout the night as he was getting cold and unable to pull his covers back over him. I was recommended this product. I thought my son had outgrown sleeping bags but he has slept through every night since! Love it!
on 24 December 2013
Brilliant sleeping bag. Love that it has long sleeves.
Lovely and warm. Very happy with my purchase.
Tina Hayes
on 13 December 2013
We promptly received our travel sleep bag after ordering it. Although our little one is 15 months old, we ordered the 18 - 4 year size. It was a little roomy, but fine and we will have it for a long time. The first time we used it we went on a day trip to visit family who live a two hour drive away. We had a lovely extended day with dinner and set off home at bedtime. Our boy slept all the way home and didn't wake up when we transferred him from the car to the cot. We're looking forward to lots more trips. Brilliant!

We are delighted with the multi coloured striped sleep suit we bought for our 20 month old grandson. It is perfect if he needs to be travel after bed time and he is always cosy and warm so we don't need to worry when it gets cold. He will use this until he is 4 so it is super value.
on 04 December 2013
Lovely and soft. Nice bright colours. Good sizing. Fits my 18mnth safely, but plenty of growth room. Warm enough in the cold evenings not to have to use a blanklet as well.
on 03 December 2013
These sleeping bags are the best because they have sleeves! Plus we have used it a couple of times in the car.
We live in an old house that can get cold at night and these bags are brilliant, my son has had the navy blue ones in every size and our daughter who arrived 4 months ago has now got a couple of the rainbow patterned ones. Would highly recommend.
on 28 November 2013
Nice quality, washes well, we have used it at home as a normal sleeping bag, baby loves it!
on 25 November 2013
Our 19 month old twin grandchildren absolutely love these & so do we. So much so they cried when Mum took them off. So warm
on 18 November 2013
Brilliant product! I've wanted one of these for a number of years, and now you sell them! Perfect for my littlest one for transferring straight out of the car after travelling late at night. Love the fact that it's got sleeves too, and that these are removable as well. Very soft material. Very pleased.
on 07 November 2013
This bag is really good - it includes all the little things that I've never been able to find in one bag before, like sleeves and the travel adjustment. It also seems to be warm - we live in a really cold house and my daughter wakes up toasty every morning. Would definitely recommend this and am planning to buy another.
on 17 September 2013
I love this sleeping bag. I had one for my older daughter and it has stood the test of time and been passed down to my younger daughter. I have just purchased a new one for my son and know it will be used on many, many trips and even on colder nights. It's just fabulous to put a sleeping baby to bed straight from there car seat and know they'll be warm and snug.

Awesome product, usual high quality expected from JoJo. We can't fathom the flaps for using it in a car seat, but it might be us at fault rather than the product! Very cosy and soft, our daughter loves it.
on 07 August 2013
I absolutely love this sleeping bag for my todler. I bought this one recently for a camping trip and was specifically after something with arms as it can get pretty cold at night. This sleeping bag is perfect with the pop-off-able arms and its such a lovely soft fabric too, and great design. I'm a big fan of stripes. who isn't thought right?! In fact, this was such a big hit, my husband got quite jealous and wants to find one big enough for him! I highly recommend this. Cosy toes, cool clothes and happy sleeping child. Win Win

Good size bought for my little one for chilly summer evenings when out & when caravanning

I have already had one of these sleeping bags in pink for my little girl who is now 5. I put my little boy into it but he has now grown out of it so i have now purchased the blue one for him. They are the best invention ever and i would definitely recommend them to everyone. I am looking forward to this one coming.

I had this sleep bag bought as a gift. At first I thought I looked odd but its been a life saver. It's seen us through winter and summer so the removable arms were great travelling in the car then whip them off just before putting her into her cot. The opening for the carseat clip is great as they can wear it at all times without them being scrunched up!
on 20 June 2013
Excellent product for toddlers, keeps my daughter lovely and warm.
on 08 April 2013
Great product and super quality. One of the only sleeping bags we've found with arms. Great for summer and winter as the arms are detachable. It's also a life saver when travelling due to the car seat 'holes' in the bag. Love the safety zip too. Zips from the top of the neck down to the naval. Nice and safe and the zip pull therefore can't catch on anything.
Very highly recommended!
on 07 April 2013
I bought this sleeping bag for the cold winter months as my daughter woke up being cold. The long sleeves are great and meant she was much warmer during the night. Lovely material and great to use in a car seat as well.

A very cosy sleeping bag for my daughter. its so soft and snugly. Definitely the best sleeping bag we gave bought so far.

Excellent sleeping bag, keeps out son ( age 17 months) lovely and warm even with the awful snowy weather we have had recently. Take the arms off if he is warm or has a fever.
Mary Coyle
on 26 January 2013
Good to find a sleeping bag with sleeves but the length of the zip is very disappointing,far too short.Most sleeping bags have a full length zip,We feel it is badly designed from this point of view as it is a real struggle to get our daughter into it,even though the size is ample for her.Disappointing.
on 03 January 2013
I bought this for my grandson and my son and his wife were very pleased. It's lovely and soft and cosy.

I bought this for my grandson, it's gorgeous - warm and cosy. We're off on a family skiing trip soon so it will be perfect for travelling too. Highly recommended.
on 16 December 2012
Brilliant sleeping bag, I have a little mover, who will wriggle himself out of a normal duvet. This toddler sleepingbag is brililant especially for journeys that start early, straigt from bed in the carseat - no need to disturb him when we visit nana. Sleeves are brilliant for that purpose as well as in winter it is nice and warm in the car.

This is a must for those freezing nights we are having at the moment. It's so snuggly. Wish they made them in adult sizes ;)

Very pleased with this travel sleeping bag - it is perfect for when my granddaughter comes to stay. Warm, easy to wash and with the facility for moving her straight from the car seat to her cot it's a practical solution to long journeys. Thanks!

Really lovely sleeping bag, great for cold nights because of sleeves aand feels really soft and comfortable. This is the second one I have bought as my daughter outgrew the first.
on 29 November 2012
This sleep bag is worth every penny. The detachable sleeves are great as is having the car seat/buggy holes. It is made with lovely snuggly material and also allows you to get lots of growth from it as it can also be extended at the bottom. Wonderful item
on 24 November 2012
Bought this for my grandson and my daughter is delighted with it! It is warm and cosy, has detachable sleeves, and can be worn in the car seat or buggy for the odd time when you have to travel after bedtime! Excellent in every way.

Both baby and mummy love this grow bag, such an investment! I've bought the 18 month - 4 year size for my toddler and he loves it. Detachable arms is a fantastic idea, the material is so soft and lovely and thick. I would recommend this grow bag to all!

Really nice sleeping bag, really cosy. Can be used in a car seat. Sizing is quite big so plenty of room to grow
on 07 November 2012
The best sleeping bag ever. My son wants to sleep only in this one. Had to order another one, so while the used one is washed he can sleep in the other one. Nice fabric, easy to wash and iron.

We were rather disappointed with the size of this garment - I feel that this item tries to span too much of an age range.
Admittedly my grandson is not yet eighteen months old but we can see that it will be much too big for him when he reaches that age.

This is a brilliant sleepy bag - works well with the detachable sleeves and is nice and cosy in the winter nights... brilliant as it is intended for travel also.
on 23 October 2012
Fantastic! It's keeping my toddler snug and helping her to get a good night's sleep whereas before she would kick the blankets off and wake up freezing.

This sleeping bag is lovely and cosy. It is also useful to be able to detach the sleeves. This is the third one I have bought for my grandson as he has grown. It is thoroughly recommended and the service was excellent.
on 15 October 2012
Lovely quality grobag which my daughter is very happy in, great idea that they will last till child is 4 yrs but I wonder how practical that will be given the size of the zip - this only seems to be a feature of the travel bags as my other JoJo grobag has a full length zip which is fine. Mainly bought for use at home (with added bonus of being able to use out and about) so haven't tried the travel feature yet but it looks like it might be a snug fit with our car seat buckle. Let's see.
on 10 October 2012
This sleeping bag is fantastic! I had searched the internet for a warm sleeping bag that I could use in the car and came across this. It's the only one I found that has detachable sleeves which is great when travelling but once home I can remove the sleeves. Great product and design.
on 05 October 2012
Sleeved sleeping bags are so hard to find and essential in our draughty Victorian flat. Really nice quality.
on 24 September 2012
I am so pleased with this sleeping bag for my son. Although I bought it for this winter, he wore it last week whilst we were camping and was nice and snuggly. Very good quality and I like the removable sleeves.
on 21 September 2012
This sleeping bag is fantastic and I'm glad I bought it just in time for the colder nights! We've already tried it in the car and it works well as a travel sleeping bag or equally good as a normal one- my little boy seems to be sleeping better in it already.its also good that the sleeves are detachable- would highly recommend this item!
on 12 September 2012
I bought both colourways of these last winter for my baby and now bought the toddler size for this winter. It's difficult to find sleeping bags with sleeves and these are fantastic, we use them every night in cold weather, haven't even tried them in a car seat as I bought them for normal use. Worth the money especially when you buy 2, and need 2 to have one to wear, one to wash anyway.
on 03 September 2012
Wonderful!! We live in a very old cold house and we previously had the baby version of this. 2 of them saw us through the first 18 months as a day to day sleeping bag except for the very hottest of days (great as you can remove the sleeves for warmer days). The toddler versions are looking just as good. Don't buy anything else!!
K Kelly
on 13 July 2012
Perfect for using on a weekend when we have been visiting relatives. We can put our baby to sleep then put him in the car to travel home and then in bed when we arrive home without too much disruption!
on 12 June 2012
Excellent sleeping bag-detachable sleeves ideal for summer, lovely fabric and unlike most sleeping bags goes up to 4 years old. Would recommend
on 07 June 2012
Really pleased with this sleeping bag. Very good quality and beautiful, soft fabric that feels very snug. I like the arms, which will keep my toddler cosy when the nights get cold. Only downside is the size of the opening for a car seat buckle, which I found a bit too small to be easy to use.
Esther Knight-Terlouw
on 30 April 2012
Very useful at home and when travelling. We travel quite a bit and it is very easy to leave just after dinner, put your little one in the car in this sleeping bag and then when you get home put them in the cot without having to wake them to change.
Mrs Procural
on 08 October 2011
Absolutely lovely sleeping bag, after having used sleep bags since my daughter was a few months old I tried a duvet to which she hated. I popped into my local store and the very nice ladies in there directed me to this sleeping bag instead of a regular. (My daughter had been used to sleeves). She had a really fantastic night sleep. The product kept her warm and cosy. Soft to the touch and will last her for ages. Well worth the money and useful that we can use it when we travel.
on 06 August 2011
Great to at last find a sleeping bag with sleeves. Perfect for cold winters.
on 22 December 2010
great product! so useful to be able to add sleeves
N J Birch
on 12 November 2010
Excellent product, warm and cosy and the detatchable sleeves are a great idea however the hole in which you put the car set harness through is very snug so takes ages to do (I have a maxicosi seat). It really needs to be an inch larger to make it easier. Other than that, really pleased though.

Favourite cycling documentary?
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
So I just saw Stars and Watercarriers for the for first time (I know!). Amazing. Really sucks you in and makes you feel like you are there with all the old pros. And the peloton interviewing one another with a microphone on a long cord whilst cycling! Love it.
What about you, favourite cycling documentary? Hell of the North is timely...
Also timely; A Sunday in Hell is very good. And the film following HTC Columbia through the TdF. Can't think for the life of me what it's called.

Newly Single Pippa Hangs Out with Cute Brother James Middleton
Who needs Kate?
The Duchess' younger brother and sister, Pippa and James Middleton, enjoyed some quality sibling time Wednesday in London. Pippa, 28, looked prim in a fuchsia dress, black blazer and tall black boots, while James, 24, kept it casual in jeans and a jacket.
PHOTOS: Pippa's fabulous figure
Although James hasn't been in the spotlight quite as much as his famous sisters, he's certainly kept busy. The youngest Middleton sibling runs an upscale bakery business, Cake Kit Company, and according to The Telegraph, is in the process of launching three new businesses: Nice Cakes, Nice Wine and Nice Group London.
Like Pippa, who's had a few less than flattering photos of herself released to the press, some of James' unfavorable moments have been captured on film. Shots of James appearing to be naked, dressed in one of Pippa's dresses and wearing a French Maid costume have all hit the web.
5 things you don't know about James Middleton
But Duchess Kate's kid sister was probably happy to have some time to relax with her brother; just last month, she and her on-off beau Alex Loudon split once again, sources confirmed to Us Weekly.
PHOTOS: Pippa, James and more hot Brits!
A source close to Loudon's brother said: "They are apart now, but Alex hopes they can still work things out."
Pippa first met the 31-year-old cricketeer turned finance whiz on a blind date set up by mutual pals. The couple of more than a year first split in June 2011, only to reunite weeks later.

The Soduko puzzle is a Japanese logic game which entered the western world during the last decade and is gaining popularity very fast.
First, the Soduko puzzle can be anything from ridiculously easy to fiendishly difficult. Second, it's a puzzle which comprises only of numbers. digits 1 to 9 actually. no need for math knowledge, you solve the Soduko puzzle with reasoning and logic.
One simple rule:
Sudoku comes in many variations. The usage of Roman numbers is one of them, and it is called Roman Sudoku.

I took this shot this morning during some heavy fog.
I noticed the round rings... you can see them all over the image. So how does one keep that from happening?
Reply Order
Oldest Reply
Posted by: Rich Franco on 2 Years Ago
were you using a polarizer? Was there something on the end of the lens? Did the circles show up after editing and not in the original? If this is brightened, do the rings go away?
What you refer to is circular color banding. It's usually added by the camera to hide sudden transitions.
It also happens in Photoshop-Gradients.
If what you posted above is your original shot, then let me guess: Your shot is a jpg. In your case shooting RAW to prevent that the camera manipulates the image would have been the way to go.
There's not much if anything you can do to "rescue" this shot if this is the original jpg.
Posted by: Hill and Dale Photography on 2 Years Ago
Rich no polarizer or filters. And it is on the original JPG too. No amount of manipulation cleared it up unfortunately.
Christine thanks. I do have a RAW file also, thank God! Im going to go have a look at how that came out....
That's good news :-)
Posted by: Mike Savad on 2 Years Ago

rings have to do with how your saving it. it's like it was saved for web and it was simplied in the sky. usually you'll see banding on a cheap lcd screen. but they've come a long way since then. so i'm sticking with saving and compressing issues. i'm seeing a bit of colored noise in there too.

The gradient(s) are often referred to as "moire", and I recall a You Tube video on how to fix things. I do not remember if the video was specifically addressing Photoshop gradients, or those in pictures.
It's worth the try, though.
Posted by: Rich Franco on 2 Years Ago
If you have the RAW file, this should clear it up. Let us know how it turns out,
Posted by: Lynn Palmer on 2 Years Ago

725x482 px is a very, very small image. I'm not suprised to see banding in the sky at such a low resolution. Do you have a larger jpg?
Posted by: Hill and Dale Photography on 2 Years Ago
Using then RAW file really helped the image. However even then when I went to adjust the image in the brightness settings I ran into the "moire" or banding, however much less noticeable. Maybe the fog had something to do with it, as it was quite heavy this morning. I added a texture overlay to try to help cover the very, very slight banding that occurred when I decided to go ahead and adjust the brightness anyway... and I kind of like it now actually!
Lynn yes the raw file was huge!
Thanks for all your feedback!
Posted by: Rich Franco on 2 Years Ago
This little exercise you just went through really demonstrates the power of the RAW file and why it's the only way to shoot. I hope more people see this and realize that this is the way to capture images.
What was your ISO and what was your camera/lens used?
This new "version" is so much better!!!
it's looking much better now.
Posted by: Jeffrey Campbell on 2 Years Ago

Since the problem is occurring in the fog, I would use the blur tool in Photoshop to see if the remainder can be removed.
Posted by: Amy Weiss on 2 Years Ago
2 Years Ago
It looks as if the photo was really underexposed, which can also cause the banding. When shooting in fog, you should overexpose a bit...
Posted by: Paul Cowan on 2 Years Ago
2 Years Ago
An image like that has a very narrow exposure range, just a couple of sharp peaks on a histogram, I would think. If you have tried to spread out the exposure to fill the histogram (i.e moving in the left and right sliders) then you would be stretching the tones out, which could do nasty things to them. It does appear under-exposed, which suggests that at the very least the exposure was pushed up a stop or so in processing the RAW version, which would also tend to create problems.

Pre-school story time is meant for children ages 3-5 who have had more experience in a group setting. They may be more likely to interact with the storyteller. The parent may stay with their child or if the child feels comfortable, the parent may take that time to browse for books.
This story time session is meant to last 30-45 minutes. The librarian may use more than 2 books, and ask and expect more conversation from the children. A short film (less than 10 minutes) will be shown, as well. The child will make a craft and should be able to work more independently to finish it. Please remember that all children are unique and develop at their own pace.
See what Miss Barb is up to with another cool science experiment!
Mother Goose Story Time is for children ages 6 months up to 4 years old. Children will learn nursery rhymes, sing songs, and do finger play. Older siblings may come along, and no reservations are required!
Miss Ariana has something new from the Land of Nature each week! Come check it out!

On Wednesday afternoon, Randall Raider Head Coach Bryan Wood shared a couple of his thoughts on tonight's game between his team and the Borger Bulldogs.
Wood is entering his third year as the Raiders' coach, where he led the team to a 9-3 record last year.
On his approach for the Raiders going into tonight, Wood said, "I think every coach has a similar perspective regarding early games. Don't turn it over, have limited penalties, and win the special teams."
Like the Bulldogs, the Raiders have several players making their varsity debuts tonight. Due to his teams' inexperience, Wood said, "We have a lot of question marks on defense because we lost so many starters. Hopefully, our offense will be productive early, while our defense is maturing."
Despite early turnovers that ultimately doomed the Bulldogs in the Raiders 35-28 win last season, the two teams appeared to be evenly matched and the same is expected tonight.
Wood has a lot of respect for several of the Bulldog players and the team's defense saying, "Borger's skills guys are impressive. Ty Brown is a very talented running back and we know that it will be difficult to slow him down. The Bulldog defense looks very stingy as well." Wood added, "I'm sure that it will be a very physical game."
The Raiders and Bulldogs kickoff tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Bulldog Stadium.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Maria Jose Subiria
Editor's note: The two articles in this package today launch a new, occasional series focusing on local eating establishments. The series is under the heading of Eating Around: A guide to Southern Crescent vittles. Bon appetit, y'all.
As you walk into Wok Asian Stir Fry, located at 2079 Mt. Zion Road, in Morrow, the design of the eating area will not scream "Chinese," but, instead, gives you a modern and chic sense of place. The whites, beiges and greens make the small restaurant seem larger than it is.
Although a big part of its business is take-out, the restaurant is not a typical Chinese take-out venue, where you feel much more comfortable getting your food quickly, and eating at home, while watching a movie. It is inviting, intriguing and different.
There is a welcoming atmosphere in which to dine, and even a convenient, drive-through area.
"The taste, the quality of the food, it is fresh, hot -- and they're fast," said Jonesboro resident, Latasha Barkley, who was dining in on a recent day.
The menu includes items such as bourbon chicken, honey sesame chicken, chicken teriyaki-garden veggies and Mongolian beef, to name just a few.
Entrees typically cost from $4.95 to $9.95, with the more expensive meals usually containing seafood, often in some combination of shrimp, lobster and scallops. To turn an entree into a combination meal, there is an additional $1.79 charge for fried rice, an egg roll and a soft drink.
On one of my many visits to the restaurant, I decided to order a general's chicken combination meal. The chicken was flavorful and it seemed as if the taste of the ingredients exploded in my mouth -- in a positive way. The fried rice was soft, and not too greasy, and to my surprise, I was satisfied.
Usually, after eating Chinese take-out, most people might find themselves feeling uncomfortably bloated, to the point of having to lie down and indulge in a nap.
Patrons might be surprised to find that meals, here, are served at an adequate size.
"It is a little bit lighter, specially with the spring roll, and very different, in the fact that it didn't have saturated oil coming out of the spring roll," said Master Sgt. Wayne Niles, of the U.S. Army, who is stationed at Fort Gillem.
"The honey sesame seed chicken, it is the best I've had," added Sgt. Daltrey Fryer, also from Fort Gillem. "You can taste more of the honey flavor of it, without it being too sweet."
The restaurant's kitchen is small, but clean. According to Gary Lin, owner of Wok Asian Stir Fry, patrons only eat fresh food that is delivered regularly by vendors, and no canned foods are used.
Lin said the cooks do not use vegetable oil, when preparing chicken, beef, or shrimp, that is not breaded. The vegetables, along with the meats, or shrimp are boiled with water. "That way, you get no fat, no grease," explained Lin.
Lin said the restaurant's most popular combination meal is the bourbon chicken.
The restaurant uses the American method, to cook the bourbon chicken, he said.
Without any oil, the chicken is placed on the flat grill, and within seconds, the fat and grease begin to drain away. Then, the meat is placed in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
When asked why he opts to cook bourbon chicken on a flat grill, instead of using the Wok method of cooking, Lin responded, "Because it tastes better. The flat grill will give it a unique fragrance, compared to Wok."
If you use the drive-through window to make an order, the process is efficient, and the food is ready within minutes, with the same fresh taste.
When dining in, though, the ambiance is nice. Unfortunately, there is only one cashier, and when the drive-through is busy, you might find yourself having to wait a little to get the attention of the cashier. So, if you are in a rush, I would recommend that you use the drive-through.
Another minor defect is that tables don't provide customers with napkin holders. If you would like to obtain a napkin, while dining in, you have to stand up, and retrieve napkins from the fountain-drink area.
Overall, the restaurant provides its patrons with fresh food, a good atmosphere and at reasonable prices. It is open seven says a week: Monday through Friday, from 11 a.m., to 10:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, from 10:30 a.m., to 11 p.m.; and Sundays, from noon, to 10 p.m.

Friday Schwag Grab: Cervelo Test Team signed postcards
Previous Blog entry
Next Blog entry
Up for grabs this week is a full set of signed postcards of the Cervelo Test Team riders, including Carlos Sastre, Thor Hushovd, Roger Hammond and Heinrich Haussler who's giving a good account of himself right now in the Paris-Nice. And loads more, there's about 20, we ran out of room on the pic so what you see is most, but not all, of what you get. Sastre's even signed his in gold, the big show-off.
Want 'em? all you have to do is comment on this post and you're in the draw. We'll pull a name out of the hat this time next week. The judge's etc etc

I would love those mounted on the wall opposite my turbo trainer as a bit of inspiration....

Well who wouldn't want those to put on the wall, great when trundling out the door on a winter ride to motivate you... plus riding Q-Rings to a TDF win made Sastre an innovator whilst lots scoffed off-round rings... as he says in Overcoming "its not easy"

I didn't realise Sastre rode off- round rings in the tour. But the idea isn't new, I have some shimano biopace eliptical rings from the late 80's or early 90's, and I think Dave Zabriskie blamed them for a slipped shift which made him crash in the TTT when he was in yellow a couple of years back.
They keep cropping up, and I understand the theory about eliminating the dead spot, but does anyone know if they've been proven to work?
(Yes I know Sastre won on the Alpe D'Huez, but that was down to the off- round objects resting on his saddle!)

Thanks Tony.
I get the PM content via gmail, but can't see it (or respond) via the Road.cc site...
The email went to Dave's @f-at address on Friday 20th, if that helps.

I noticed that Carlos Sastre uses 170mm cranks for road races but 165mm crank for TT races.
Normally, riders use longer crank in TT races than road races.
For examples, Andreas Klier, Heinrich Haussler and myself. (Are there a business cards at head of post?)
My body height is same as Carlos Sastre and my road racing bike setup is exactly same as Sastre.
But my TT bike uses 175mm cranks?
Any secret inside?
