Hi folks,I hiked the entire Sierra High Route between August 15th and 31st. I have to say it was a very special hike for me - the longest, wildest, most challenging I have ever done. And I would like to thank everyone on this forum who helped me prepare for it. Having looked into Steve's trip report (http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=51727), I think I was lucky to start a bit later. I still encountered sections where Roeper's route descriptions didn't apply due to the snow pack, but it sure got a lot better during those two weeks. My itinery was:1. day: Road's End - Grouse Lake2: Grouse Lake - Horsehsoe Lake3: Horseshoe Lake - Marion Lake4: Marion Lake - Palisade Lakes5: Palisade Lakes - Dusy Basin6: Dusy Basin - Evolution Lake7: Evolution Lake - Mesa Lake8: Mesa Lake - Brown Bear Lake9: Brown Bear Lake - Laurel Lake10: Laurel Lake - Ruby Lake11: Ruby Lake - Red's Meadow12: Red's Meadow - Iceberg Lake13: Iceberg Lake - Twin Island Lakes14: Twin Island Lakes - Coney Crags15: Coney Crags - High Sierra Mine16: High Sierra Mine - Soldier Lake17: Soldier Lake - Twin Lakes, Mono VillageFirst some general notes on the route and my approach:- I didn't really go very light. My base weight was 11 kg (ca. 24 pounds), including a pair of 6-spike aluminium crampons. I also wore solid boots, though rather light ones. - I only really used the crampons on three days when crossing icy snowfields in the morning. But in all those three occasions I was extremely glad I had brought them along. - I had clearly underestimated the sheer physical strain of the route. I had hoped to find the time to climb some mountains en route but, in the end, was just glad to be able to get through with it within 17 days. At least I made the 10 minute diversion to the top of Mammoth crest which sports a truly spectacular view. - I had also underestimated the mental strain of routefinding and walking in complex terrain all day. Some section were especially tiresome in this respect, for instance crossing Cirque, Potluck and Knapsack passes all in one day. - On the other hand, I had somewhat overestimated the technical challenges. Here I was more withing my comfort zone than I had anticipated. Somehow, I got a good feeling for the prior unfamiliar granite slabs right from the beginning. The only type of terrain I really struggled with was the suncupped snow and I landed on my bottom more often than I cared for.- The bugs were pretty bad in some places (topped by Marion Lake). A headnet was the very last item I added to my gear list and it turned out to be essential. - Stream crossings were generally okay. I didn't encounter particularly high water levels anywehere. Some remarks on particular places: - I really struggled during the first three days because of the heavy load (food for twelfe days) and the lack of acclimisation. I started up to Grouse Lake around noon. I can only recommed to travel to Road's End the day before and then start the long ascent eary next day when you can do the lower altitudes before it is getting hot. - Crossing Muir pass was surprisingly tiring. I had hoped for a relaxed on-trail day but the snow and some diversions of the trail turned it into a tough day. - Snow Tongue pass was a major pain, increased by some routefinding mistakes I did on the approach which led me through talus already on the southern side. On the Northern side, it was horrible talus, heavily suncupped snow, horrible talus, heavily suncu... and so forth. - Decending Feather pass, Roeper's description was especially unapplicable. It was just all snow up there. - I concur that the the path from Lower Mills Creek Lake to the Second Recess is hard to follow. But not because of "downed trees" but because I often just couldn't find it!- On the map, the trail down Second Recess crosses Mono creek upstream of Mills creek. This has changed. The trail now leads to the creek downstream. I waded through it (kneedeep, strong current), as I did see a log but couldn't find a way to it. I later met someone who actaully crossed th elog. So keep bushwacking and don't wade! ;-)- The chute up to Cecile Lake, in my mind, is class 4, not class 3 (short, though). However, I can't rule out that there is an easier option than the obvious chute you see from below.- The traverse after crossing Mine Shaft pass was quite unpleasant. The rock is not completely solid and steep, hard snowfields (used the crampons for one them) were lingering in between. - Crossing the east ridge of Mount Conness was huge fun and lifted my mood after abovementioned unpleasant traverse.- The descent down from Horse Creek pass proved to be one of the least enjoyable parts of the entire High Route. I believe the talus has been specifically designed to keep the hiker from becoming sad to leave the route behind. A general summary of my experience: It was tough and challenging. I twisted my ankle, hurt my shoulder and my behind, ripped my pants, pretty much destroyed my boots, left my cutlery behind (man, did I get mad at myself over this) but still managed to enjoy it most the way. I will post a link to pictures in a few weeks, it will take a while to sort them all out. CheersHannes
thanks for the report; I've yet to read a trip report on the SHR that didn't paint a clear picture of a very tough, but very rewarding route.carrying 12 days of food would be a killer, is there any decent way to break that up?
Hannes,Thanks for the write-up. I look forward to seeing your photos.
More please!
@Mike: Well, in the end, it took me only 11 days to get to Red's Meadow but I wasn't sure about it beforehand. To reduce the load further, I only see two options: Either you go faster (i.e. as Steve started off) or you make a detour (e.g. over Bishop pass, Piute pass).By the way: very tough and very rewarding sums it up pretty well. @Ken: More of what, precisely? ;-) I usually post longer trip reports (in German) on my blog. Maybe this time, I should translate it. Mhh, that may take a while as well, I am afraid.
More of your experiences out there. Photos of course. Your english is excellent. You could post a link to your blog and let Google translate do the work for you. Thanks for sharing.
Hallo Hannes,leider kann man Dir keine persoenlichen Messages (PM) schicken, da Du Du das in Deinem Profil nicht erlaubst.Da ich in zwei Wochen auf den SHR gehe, bin ich sehr an weiteren Einzelheiten interessiert.Daher waere es nett, wenn Du mir eine PM mit Deiner Email-Adresse schicken koenntest.Viele Gruesse und herzlichen Glueckwunsch zur Bewaeltigung der Route.Manfred
hi hannes glad to hear you made it thru the whole trip and had a wonderful time here in the sierras it was a pleasure to meet you and im glad i was able to get you to roads end before the permit office closed lol i arrived home around 4 pm and had a nice drive back stopping to look at some fishing spots along the kings and talking to a few fly fisherman to find out what they were biting on it was a beautiful day in kings canyon that day and roads end was pretty busy to no suprise looking foward to your photos when you get time to post them i hope you enjoyed the california mountains hopefully you can come back out sometime for a hike with other bpl members including myself that would be great cheers kevin
Thanks for the excellent report Hannes and congratulations on finishing you hike. Kevin, good on you for pick up and ride to Roads End. That's some excellent BPL and San Joaquin Valley hospitality.

@Ken: Google Translate - good idea! I will look into that. Anyway, of course I'll post as soon as pics, etc. are online. But let me get back to Germany first. ;-)@Kevin: It was a great pleasure to meet you, too! It would definitely be great to come back at some point and explore more of the Californian mountains with some of you.@Manfred: I replied to your PM.
Hannes,congrats! way to go! Glad that your later start worked out for you. I was dissapointed in not being able to do the route, but am glad of the portion I did do. Everything you touched on I can remember so vividly! Especially the physical aspect! It never seemed to let up.Looking forward to seeing your pics and more.
Thanks, Steve! I definitely agree on the physical aspect - even though my pace was much lower than yours, there just were no short days. But of course that was one the things that turned this into a very intense and special trip. Well, I wish you better conditions for your next hikes!By now, I have finished the first part (of probably six - sometimes I enjoy writing) of my extensive trip report. The writing is in German and I am afraid Google translate doesn't do a vey good job on it but the captions in the gallery are also in English.Introduction: http://deichjodler.blogspot.com/2011/09/sierra-high-route-der-weg-nach-kings.htmlPart I (Kings Canyon to Marion Lake) : http://deichjodler.blogspot.com/2011/09/sierra-high-route-1-eine-frage-des.htmlThe gallery links are located at the bottom of the introduction and the top of part I. Right now, however, picasaweb seems to have a little problem. I hope, this will be sorted out soon. I will complete the gallery as I write the following parts. And keep you updated.CheersHannes
I just completed writing part II (Marion Lake to Evolution Lake): http://deichjodler.blogspot.com/2011/09/sierra-high-route-2-immer-schon.html#more Picasaweb is working fine, my problems were due to some weird error in the system time on my machine. By the way, the gallery links of the different parts all link to the same gallery, only a different entry picture. Anyway, enjoy the pics! Some teasers here:Looking down on Marion Lake, Lake Basin in the back.Looking back onto Palisade Lakes, halfway up Cirque PassWanda Lake and the impressive Goddard Divide

Part IV (Laurel Lake to Red's Meadow) with according pictures is online now: http://deichjodler.blogspot.com/2011/09/sierra-high-route-4-zivilisationskontak.htmlI'd really love to insert some pictures here, but for some reason, the upload button doesn't seem to work. Maybe I should try with a different browser next time.
google translate actually works pretty well on your links...nice write-up!!Frank
Thanks, Frank! And I am glad Google translate works for you. I guess knowing the much less awkward original text doesn't help for liking the translation. :-)Well, I have just uploaded part V of the story: http://deichjodler.blogspot.com/2011/09/sierra-high-route-5-zuruck-in-die.html#moreSome teasers: Garnet Lake seen from Whitebark PassLake Catherine; compare that to Gabriel's pic of the same lake taken about a week later: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=53549The Southern Twin Island Lake after sunsetCheersHannes

I'm surprised, how many Germans know about the SHR (I am one, too...). I never heard about it in Germany...Thanks for your great report. I am really glad, I didn't do it this year. I was going to do it solo southbound from Tuolumne and hitting the SHR just after Reds Meadow, but my startdate was July 20 and seeing how tough it was just hiking on trails with all that snow, I decided to stay on the JMT. But I'll be back!!!Just one question: Where did you resupply? Only once at Red's Meadow or before, too???For all others who still want to do it in the future: There are good maps online at http://www.onthetrail.org/shr.html They are especially helpful if you are going southbound and don't want to read Roper's book backwards all the time.
little thread drift here, but is there any advantage (or disadvantage) going southbound?thanks
Sabine,I am not sure the two of us qualify as "many". ;-) Seriously, like you I had never heard about the SHR in Germany. I became aware of it when actively searching for hiking possibilities in the Sierra other than the JMT.Indeed I re-supplied only at Red's Meadow. That made for a heavy load during the first few days. In July, hiking the High Sierra must have been really tough. How was hiking the JMT? In any case I wish you good luck for your next attempt on the SHR!Mike, I am aware of several points you have to consider: Slope inclinations, altitude and elevation gain, sun position1) Most of the major passes are steeper on the Northern side than on the Southern. On the one hand, this means going South-North is less strenous than the other way around. On the other hand, ascending steep, rocky terrain is usually technically easier than descending it. Finally, I believe a major advantage of South-North is that most permanent snow fields are crossed in decent (glissading opportunities!). 2) Most of the 12000+ ft passes are on the Southern half of the route. Thus, starting North should allow for slightly easier acclimatization. Furthermore, the elevation gain from Kings Canyon to Grouse Lake Pass is worse than Twin Lakes to Horse Creek Pass.3) South to North has the advantage that you have the sun behind you rather than in your face. Admittedly, during the high season the sun is so close to the zenith that this should not make a huge difference.CheersHannes

Steel slag
These products are made from steel slag, which occurs as a by-product during steelmaking. Due to their unique characteristics, they are used in various fields. With awareness of the need for environmental protection increasing, these steel slag products are highlighted as excellent materials from the viewpoint of resource and energy conservation.
Products and catalogs
Granulated blast-furnace slag (blast-furnace cement)
Compared to mixed cement, blast-furnace cement offers the great advantages of increased durability (high resistance to seawater, reduction in alkali-aggregate reactivity, etc.) and enhanced long-term strength, along with lower CO2 off-gassing.

Mt. McKinley: Knoff and Team Carry to 11,000'
Posted by: Adam Knoff | June 23, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 9,300'
These are the McKinley moments that tend to recharge the batteries and make the hard days tolerable. Inside the tent, wrapped in a mountain of down, fed by the culinary expertise of Lindsay and Andy with views straight down the Kahiltna Glacier that knock your boots off. The simplicity of this entire process creates an appreciation for simple rest not realized in other facets of ordinary life. Get up, work yur' arse off, get real tired and hungry, eat and go to bed. No technology distractions, no depressing news feeds, simply us and the mountain.
Having just completed day three, we are all pleased with our current position. We awoke this morning to chilly temps, blowing snow and low visibility. Because of our lower elevation of 9,300 feet another move day seemed a bit much so we opted for a carry that landed a majority of our team's unneeded gear at the 11,000 ft camp which we plan to move to tomorrow. These first four or five days can be some of the climb's hardest but everyone has handled it with grace and competence. We anticipate another strong team performance tomorrow. Big hugs go out to friends and family who are taking the time to follow along.
Hasta mañana,

Sure, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds have a movie to pimp ("The Proposal"), but when we sent "Hills" star Stephanie Pratt to catch up with the duo today, they were even more preoccupied with their big day to come at the Movie Awards on Sunday.
You see, Ryan and Sandra are slated to present the Best Kiss award, and lest you thought showing up to an awards show with such a responsibility is a walk in the park, they're about to set you straight. Remember, there's the witty presenter pitter-patter to contend with. And even before that there's the red carpet and the challenge of making a big splash amid dozens of the hottest celebrities around. Luckily Sandra Bullock is a woman with a plan. Watch below and see.

BUFFALO, NY - A Niagara County viewer wrote to our tipline, pointing out what appears to be an error in one of the custom license plates being offered by New York State, and he seeks our help in getting it corrected.
Now, a state lawmaker has agreed to pursue the issue.
The viewer (who asked that he not be identified because he works for the government) was browsing the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) web site in his attempt to procure some custom plates with the Buffalo Sabres emblem on them, to show his allegiance to his favorite hockey team.
It's one of numerous custom plates you can order from the state, indicating you're a fan of any number of New York's professional sports teams, or to indicate your profession, causes you support, your participation in service groups, or that you are a volunteer firefighter, among other things.
Then he stumbled across one which is available to winners of the "Congressional Medal of Honor", if they can prove they were indeed the recipient of the nation's highest military honor.
But, as the viewer pointed out about the award bestowed by the President on behalf of Congress;
"The proper name of the award is the 'Medal of Honor'... Don't get me wrong, I have nothing at all against the US Congress....I just think we should have the proper name of the honor on the license plates."
He wrote a letter to Governor Cuomo and received one back from Associate DMV Commissioner Jackie McGinnis, thanking him for expressing his concern, but stating:
"Unless the Vehicle and Traffic is amended through legislation, we are not able to make any change to wording on the Congressional Medal of Honor custom plate we offer...If legislation is passed and signed into law, we will revise the plate accordingly."
She also suggested contacting a member of the state legislature to ask them to proffer a bill to change it, if he believed this was a matter of importance.
Our viewer claimed he had done that, but without results.
Two On Your Side took his concerns to NYS Senator Mark Grisanti (R-60th District) who promised to look into the matter.
"I appreciate you bringing it to my attention," Grisanti told WGRZ-TV.
"It's something that should be corrected and it's something that should be done pretty simply I would imagine," Grisanti said.
Grisanti said his first step will be to have his staff research the issue and then if necessary draft a bill for which a co-sponsor in the State Assembly would have to be found.
The earliest it might be considered, however, would be in January when the legislative session begins anew.
"There's been a lot more heavy lifting over the past couple of years on other issues that constituents have brought to my attention, so I think this is something we could get done," Grisanti said.
A DMV spokesperson confirmed that there are only two of the plates in question currently issued in New York State.

I need help. I came home from the store today with an approximately 6 oz frozen "lobster tail" -- one of those warm water crayfish like things, not real lobster tail. My thought was to bag it up and cook it sous vide from the frozen state.
After a couple hours study I was more confused than ever. Some cook lobster tail to what I would charitably call raw. The last two "lobster tails" I had (from the same package, cooked on different days) made me rather sick, hence my preference for pasteurization. They sure were good though.
I've read that one should not cook lobster between 55 and 60 deg C or the meat will become mushy. Not sure if this applies to the creature that I have or only to real lobsters. Assuming it does, looking at Douglas Baldwin's tables, it is thus only practical to pasteurize above 60 deg C. Will this ruin my meat?
All in all I would rather err on the side of over cooked. I'm thinking now of 61 deg C for four hours for the frozen tail. What say you?
Or should I defrost first and remove the shell?

Comments about Orage Nelson Vest:
I love this vest, the quality is great and very stylish. It has two huge zipper pockets which have a soft fabric inside and a handy pocket inside when your heart is located. The sizing is quite large however, it is baggy and long, but that is just the style. I am going to order a second and hope they last me my whole life.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Review: Bedlam #3
The most talkative comic on the stands continues to be all words. Bedlam #3 is another good issue, but has a few problems that could have been ironed out of the finished project.
Nick Spencer brings Madder Red/Fillmore into the police force, to help with all these gruesome murders. This leaves most of the issue in present, having Fillmore play with the police whilst helping them. While the police seem to know nothing, it is refreshing to see police act like actual police. Too often officers act like morons for the sake of the plot. Reading how Fillmore makes the connections is fun to read, in the same way it's fun to read the Joker outsmart Batman after the Bat had everything planned. Spencer writes Fillmore very well, giving the reader as many doubts as the police force. The reader can't tell if Fillmore is actually helping them, or just playing them the fool. This dynamic is interesting to read, and something that doesn't come around often in comics. Considering this is a world with superheroes, it will be interesting to see how Spencer writes Fillmore's interactions with The First next issue.
In the first two issues, Spencer gave readers equal past and present. This page usage worked perfectly, showing readers that Fillmore knows what he is talking about. In #3 though, we are stuck in the present. The best part of the issue is showing Madder Red go berserk on numerous cats, and how they make him grow as a person. Not only is it hysterical, it shows some development between Madder Red and Fillmore. I'd like to see more of this, as there is a vague time line between the past and present. The big problem with Bedlam right now is the vagueness of everything. Why is this…crotchless…person killing people? What's his motivation? Fillmore seems to figure out some of it, but there has to be more. The reason we want Dexter to murder the bad people on Dexter is we know WHY they are bad people. It makes the chase much more thrilling. Granted, we are three issues into a new series, so Spencer has plenty of time to work out the kinks. He's been teasing information masterfully in Morning Glories for years, the lack of information has to be part of his plan
Riley Rossmo has been nailing this series, but this issue seems rushed. The first two issues were scratchy, but #3 is scratchy to the point where the reader can't tell what is going on. Much like the writing, the Madder Red rehabilitation scenes are the best drawn. Rossmo has great comedic timing. He paces the rest of the issue very well. It feels like the issue is a break down of a TV show. Once we get to the present though, the scratchiness should have been turned down. While in the past, the scratchiness makes it seem like we are seeing the past through Madder Red's eyes. These scenes seem crazy. Most of the characters seem to lose their eyes if they aren't the main focus of the panel. Criticisms aside, this issue still looks good. The drab colors make the world feel lived in, and more real than most of the comics on the stands.
Bedlam #3 is slightly weaker than the first two, but still an enjoyable comic. Not every issue can be amazing.
Bedlam #3 gets 3.5/5.

Geez, it's been almost a year since I last posted here… I promise I'll do a recap of most of the products that I've tried over these months! SOON!
*pinky promise*
Geez, it's been almost a year since I last posted here… I promise I'll do a recap of most of the products that I've tried over these months! SOON!
*pinky promise*
It is my birthday month, and since I'm a Singtel customer, I got this complimentary service from Touche Elite. A "luminosity skin renewal therapy and brightening mask" sounds like what I needed to brighten up my dull skin, so an appointment was promptly made (I need to make my facial appointments 3 months in advance to juggle the numerous packages I have everywhere).
I wasn't keen on paying anything for this treatment so when they tried to persuade me to top up, by saying I'm not a first time customer to Touche Elite, they were turned down flatly. No way in the voucher states that the complimentary treatment was only for first time customers to TE, so don't try to dupe me into paying extra. (I think I've been to TE once, for a body massage, also through one of those online voucher sites)
Well… I should have known that complimentary treatments are too good to be true. I was led into a room by my therapist where I was asked to change into their terry cloth robe and then lie on the treatment bed. Shortly after, another therapist came into the room without knocking, and proceeded to retrieve something from the cupboards behind me. She didn't acknowledge my presence, and didn't apologise at all. I was mortified by her actions. What if I happened to be changing and she just opened the door wide open?!
About 5 minutes after that episode, my therapist entered the room with the microdermabrasion machine. She double cleansed my face, and started to use the machine on me. I'm not faulting the therapist, but what I would have liked is for her to walk me verbally through the treatment steps. After all, who would know what is a "skin renewal therapy"? After the microdermabrasion, a thick pasty mask was applied to my skin and I was left alone to 'rest'. After what seemed like ages, she came back to remove my mask, and applied some cream to my skin. And that was the treatment.
Uh… huh? No extraction, no face & shoulder massage? My usual facial place also charges around $200 for a session with use of the microdermabrasion machine, and it includes the whole facial she-bang: double cleanse, scrub/microdermabrasion, steam, extraction, cooling mask, face & shoulder massage, double mask. If Touche Elite is going to charge me $200 for just a machine scrub and mask, I think they had better reconsider.
Now you may say that it's free, so don't expect too much. But on the flip side, why are they giving out free treatments? Because they want you to try their services, like them and sign up for their packages right? So if they are giving me substandard treatments, how can they expect people to enjoy and sign up for packages?
Having heard of Glow Aesthetics for some time now, I had the confidence to purchase 2 online deals they featured recently: one being a Brazilian wax, the other being a Jade Detox body and eye massage. The body massage was just mediocre to me. Sometimes I even wonder why I bother trying out other spas when I'm so satisfied with my current one at Bukit Timah (except for the price… oh well).
I always get disappointed with new spa tryouts because the massage is always not up to my standard of liking. This time, the masseur didn't ask me if the pressure was ok and continued with her set of actions. She was also very chatty which I felt pressurized to continue to talk to her, and therefore could not relax and drift off to lalaland. After she finished the 60 minutes body massage, I was not relaxed at all. My sore spots were still sore. In fact, I felt like she was just going through the motions, ala touching me.
Then she continued the treatment with the jade eye massage. I reckon she only spent 2-3 minutes massaging my eye area, then covered my eyes with the supposed eye mask. While "relaxing" with the eye mask, she proceeded to do the other treatment of Brazilian wax. It was strange that she said the wax was not melted enough for the treatment because she didn't know what time I was coming. Hello, I made an appointment for both my treatments and even confirmed the treatments I was going to do when you called to confirm my appointment the previous day. What do you mean by you don't know what time I was coming?!
The wax session was possibly the worst I ever experienced. My voucher entitled me to a choice of chocolate or strawberry wax, but no one asked me which one I wanted when I arrived. The therapist didn't wipe me down prior to waxing and just proceeded to do the wax which was pretty hot on the sensitive skin down there. When I mentioned that it was hot, she didn't even bother to let the wax cool a bit before proceeding. She merely asked me to bear with it. Then after applying the wax, she didn't make a "lift tab" like how Face Bistro does, so when it was time to peel the wax strip off, she had difficulties getting a good grip and it hurt so bad when she was yanking out the hair. Some of the strips broke into smaller pieces while she was yanking.
It also seemed like she wasn't experienced enough because she had to enlist the help of my hands to pull the skin taut, then mumbled to herself which direction she should pull the strip wax. And she sometimes double dip!!! Something I have never experienced at Face Bistro.
The entire wax session took about 1 hour, with up to 3 waxings on certain areas, even though I didn't have a lot to wax off. In comparison, Face Bistro only does it within 30 minutes (sometimes 20 minutes), with minimal pain and always very clean and hygienic.
All in all, I was quite disappointed with the experience I had at Glow. They have been in the business for very long now, and I thought there must be something good about their services. Apparently not.
It's no secret that I've always had problems with my skin… the biggest problem of all, acne (I still shudder when I see photos from my uni days, pre-BCP). Then after the acne problem went away with help of BCPs, I had to battle issues with my eczema, particularly around my eyes (read my post on eye eczema). I try to solve the issue temporarily by taking Clarityn as and when required, but all that medication ain't good for me.
I started on collagen supplements somewhere around end April/early May, more specifically collagen jelly, in a desperate bid to heal my skin. And hopefully, stop the eczema rashes.
Confirm Trading brought in this range of beauty jellies earlier this year and had an introductory offer – 4 boxes for $60 (usual price $16.90 for 1 box). So I bought to try. Then, after that, I went onto Sasa.com and saw that it was cheaper online! So anyway, I bought an additional 2 months supply and completed the entire course.
But I felt a little baffled. I wasn't seeing tremendously good results, despite me eating all that collagen regularly. Then I realised that the 15000mg collagen advertised on the front of the box, was the cumulative amount from the 7 sticks (1 week supply). It wasn't 15,000mg collagen in a stick! *super D'oh moment*
I researched online further and found out other brands like Meiji were doing 5,000mg of collagen per scoop. I have tried Meiji before but I think 5,000mg of collagen was too rich for me back then (around 23 years old?). And now, because I have drier skin, I think I need hyaluronic acid as well. Sasa.com was having some promotion for FINE collagen powder, and once again, I bought 1 can and 1 refill pack to try (I estimate 2 months of continuous consumption would be a good gauge)
The effects of consuming 5000mg of collagen (powder) daily are that my skin looks less oily now (probably due to the hyaluronic acid component of FINE collagen powder), my scars are lightened (probably due to the pearl coix extract component), few or no pimples even during PMS and I get less sleep lines now.
I still like the collagen jelly, for its convenient packaging. I have quite a number of weekend trips in August and drinking collagen powder will mean that I either have to pack my collagen powder along (super troublesome!!) or skip on those days (which I didn't want to). So those collagen jellies come in handy for weekend getaways. I just have to consume 2 jellies to get the same amount of collagen.
I will be doing separate reviews for the collagen jellies and collagen powder soon, so stay tuned!
Don't we all love/enjoy receiving samples? Sure it's a great way to test out products and save money but one must be very careful of the samples received as well. I have received some samples that are past their prime, ie expired. Eww… I don't want to risk having allergies and rashes on my skin, just to save $10.
I used to get samples from The Sample Store, but after some time, I just stopped buying my samples from them because I found myself buying all sorts of samples, but never actually using them. Recently, my sister informed me that there are quite a number of sampling programs on Facebook, so I went online and searched for them. Just in time for my 4 weekend getaways coming up in August and September.

I hardly have photos of myself on this blog because I lack the confidence as I don't have good skin. My eyes are extremely sensitive and tend to turn swollen, red and itchy when I'm naughty and indulge in dairy products (I self-diagnosed that I'm allergic to casein because I always have these rashes when I consume milk/yogurt/ice-cream). Other parts of my face (such as the corners of my mouth, and sides of my ears) and body will also react to casein, but not as bad as my eyes. Sometimes, if my skin is extremely dry, I get these flareups too.
So anyway, I've got a bad flareup recently and no amount of moisturizer seemed to be able to bring down the inflammation, short of steroids. I usually use Mario Badescu's control cream but it doesn't seem to be working well for me now. Anyway, I just did a Google search on the product and it seems like MB has discontinued it temporarily for a formula revamp. So no point blogging about it now.
My eyes are so darn itchy, I can't stop picking at it… and now I'm getting bare spots at the tails of my eyebrows. Can anyone recommend something to me??
I decided to go off Gelish for the time being as my nails were getting paper thin and soft. Urgh. And I invested in quite a number of nail strengtheners (Sally Hansen Miracle Nail Thickener & Dr LeWinn's RevitaNail) as well. I still <3 Dr LeWinn.
Anyway, Beatrice introduced me to Meimei's Signatures, an online shop in Singapore specialising in indie nail polishes. And man, that lady has got some really nice brands/polishes at her shop!
I got this interesting nail polish, Fuchsia Illusion from the brand Liquid Sky Lacquer. The polish is a rich purple holo when your body temperature is low, and turns to a hot pink holo when the temperature is hot. I couldn't stop staring at my nails and see the colour change.
Application was a breeze, and it dried pretty quickly too.

I always felt that the fact the Ba'ku were pretty white people was a huge weakness for the film. This movie, the aliens should have looked more alien and the Ba'ku were shown to be pretty white people simply because it would get the audience on their side in this conflict, even though the conflict is supposed to be a moral dilemma.

Big Money Land Deal Paves Way for $750 Multifamily Development Project
By Alex Girda, Associate Editor
As far as land deals go, reports rarely come in about landmark transactions in a major city's Central Business District. However, a joint venture between Mack Urban and AECOM Capital has recently made public the acquisition of a six-acre land parcel in L.A.'s CBD. The value of the deal is estimated at around $80 million, making it by far the largest transaction of its kind in the area since 2008. The JV acquired the downtown property from former owner, EVOQ Properties.
According to a recently released press statement, the new owners are now looking to develop "a portfolio of class A, institutional quality, highly amenitized multifamily residential developments," part of their strategy for the entire West Coast. The Los Angeles move is a testament to Mack Urban's commitment to their goal. With the development that would occupy the six-acre site currently in the design and planning stages, specifics regarding the size and unit haul of the upcoming multifamily are still unclear, however the Los Angeles Times writes that the total investment would come in at around $750 million. The towers are designed by architecture firm AC Martin Partners, and will be constructed by Tishman Construction Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AECOM.
The location certainly offers the project extensive coverage, with the proximity of the AT&T Center providing serious exposure to the soon-to-be-built residential towers. Located in Los Angeles' South Park, one of downtown's premier residential neighborhoods, the site is also located just east of one of the primary reasons of the area's rebirth, the Staples Center, and the massive L.A. Live entertainment district. The area has become one of the prime spots for young professionals and the surge in interest is reflected in the average rent rates according to a RCLCO report.

Archive for the 'Scenicruiser' tag
Tribute to a lost era in American travel
If ever a book on an icon of the American highway was decades overdue, this was it. Nobody had ever written a technical and social history of the GM Coach PD-4501, better known as the Scenicruiser, and commissioned by Greyhound at the Dallas-based bus system's very zenith. That, happily, is very close to changing.
Thanks is therefore due to Tom McNally, a monster Scenicruiser buff who is co-writing Greyhound Scenicruiser: A Lost Era in American Travel, with co-author Fred Rayman, a retired bus driver from Oklahoma City. Both Tom and Fred are highly active in today's Scenicruiser community, organizing national rallies for restored and RV-converted versions of these double-deck buses. The book, to be published by Iconografix, will be released next spring, featuring 112 pages and 376 photos. You can pre-order it from Tom's website, TomsGarageOnline.com, or send a check for $30.99 (includes shipping) to Tom McNally at 3310 W. Malone St., Peoria, Illinois 61605.
Busmen's holiday in Arkansas
We recently heard from our pal Tom McNally in Peoria, Illinois, who has a special jones when it comes to certain old vehicles. Tom is one of those people who are into the GM Coach PD-4501 bus, better known as the original Greyhound Scenicruiser. There are a whole lot of people who venerate this famed bus, and they're already planning their next big, more-or-less triennial gathering. And it is indeed big. Some of these buses are turned into custom coaches, others are original, and a few are restored. We know a Mack restorer in Connecticut, Matt Pfahl, who's doing a concours-level restoration on a PD-4501.
"The Ghosts of Highway 61″ will be held in downtown Blytheville, Arkansas, from April 4 through 6, 2013. Blytheville is about an hour northwest of Memphis, and is home to one of the last Art Deco bus stations erected by Greyhound in the late 1930s, now fully restored and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Among the activities planned is a bus trip to Graceland, naturally aboard a Scenicruiser. Best way to keep track of updates is to visit Tom's own web page, TomsGarageOnline.com.
Scenicruiser rally scheduled
restored Scenicruiser #771 in front of the Greyhound bus depot in Blytheville, Arkansas
Ever since we ran an article in the January Hemmings Motor News about the GM PD-4501 Scenicruisers, we've received a lot of mail from people who still own them or drove them for Greyhound in the Sixties. Of the 1001 Scenicruisers built, only about 220 are still known to exist and less than 30 still look similar to unit 771 pictured above. Many have been converted into tour buses for music bands or refitted and used as ultimate motor homes for camping and traveling retirees. There are still a few that have been restored to their original glory and we know of two here in the Northeast are currently undergoing full restoration.
Tom McNally contacted us to let us know that there will be a Scenicruiser "reunion" of sorts in April. Current owners and fans of Scenicruisers will be meeting in St. Louis and traveling Route 66 to Adrian, Texas, about 50 miles outside Amarillo. This is where the first ever Scenicruiser Rally will begin on April 8, 2010, and it is also dead center between Los Angeles and Chicago on the old Route 66 Highway. At least two of the Greyhound Scenicruisers will be making the trek from Adrian along I-40/Rt. 66 to Amarillo and will be on display at the Big Texan Hotel in Amarillo April 8-9. Tom owns Scenicruiser #1001, the last numbered Greyhound of the series, but it was actually one of the first built. It was initially numbered at GM as EXP-331 in 1953 as an experimental prototype and was sent to Greyhound in 1956 after logging many miles as an R&D test bus.
For further information on the rally you can contact Tom McNally at (309)253-2169 email@example.com or Chad Goertz at (661)212-2026 firstname.lastname@example.com
more Scenicruisers, full of hippies
A while back, Gary Blizzard stopped by Hemmings with his Scenicruiser. Don't know why, but old buses just turn all of our editorial staff into six-year-olds. So when web dude Jeremy told us of a bunch more parked about a block away, we had to inspect.
And boy, that's a lot of Scenicruiser. Apparently, they're part of a tour of Merrymakers, a bunch of self-described communal hippies just finishing up an East Coast tour with the buses. This one was their first, a combination of two different Scenicruisers.
Their second bus follows in the same lines. The base is a 1955 Scenicruiser, while the top is a 1949 Aerocoach.
UPDATE: Kit Foster wrote in to correct us – the bases are Aerocoach, like the one he posted at his CarPort website. The tops are Scenicruiser. I need to find a good bus reference.
And their third differs a bit – an old White on a modern International chassis with airbag suspension.
But the interiors of the Scenicruisers more resemble log cabins than the plush, cross-continent cabins several editorial staffers grew up with.
A lot of excellent wood- and leathercraft going on here.

Technique Visualizes Brain Tumors During Surgery
A new method can distinguish tumors from normal brain tissue in living mice. With further refinement, the approach could help doctors remove brain tumors with great precision.
Recognizing the difference between tumors and normal brain tissue during surgery is a major challenge. Removing healthy tissue can cause neurologic problems, but leaving tumor tissue behind can allow the cancer to spread again. This is a particular problem with glioblastoma multiforme, the most common form of malignant brain cancer in adults. Glioblastoma tumors grow quickly and are difficult to treat. The tumors infiltrate normal brain tissue and can't be easily singled out.
Experimental methods to tell the difference between tumors and normal tissue during surgery have had limited success. Over the past 15 years, a team led by Dr. Sunney Xie at Harvard University has been developing a technique called stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy. The method takes advantage of the fact that chemical bonds in molecules have their own sets of vibration frequencies, and produce unique patterns of scattered light called Raman spectra. These spectra can be used as fingerprints to identify and differentiate different molecules in a complex environment. SRS microscopy involves shining noninvasive lasers to excite particular Raman frequencies in tissues. The weak light signals emitted by the tissues vary depending on the tissues molecular composition, such as lipids, proteins, and DNA.
In collaboration with Dr. Daniel Orringer and colleagues at the University of Michigan Medical School, Xie's team applied SRS microscopy to the problem of distinguishing protein-rich glioblastomas from more lipid-rich surrounding tissue. Their work was funded by an NIH Director's Transformative Research Award and by NIH's National Cancer Institute (NCI). The results appeared on September 4, 2013, in Science Translational Medicine.
By combining SRS images made from light at 2 different frequencies, the scientists were able to construct images that identified tissues with different lipid and protein content. To test the approach on tumors, they implanted human glioblastoma cells into mice and allowed them to grow into tumors. They then placed samples on slides and used SRS microscopy to make 2-color images of the samples. For comparison, they froze the samples and stained them with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), the current approach used to diagnose brain tumors.
The scientists found that SRS microscopy worked as well as H&E in distinguishing tumor-infiltrated brain tissue from surrounding healthy tissue. They then adapted the technique for use in live mice. Craniectomies exposed the tumor and adjacent brain tissue for SRS imaging. While standard microscopy found no obvious evidence of the tumor, SRS microscopy identified regions with extensive tumor infiltration.
"For more than 100 years, hematoxylin and eosin stain has been the gold standard for this type of imaging," Xie says. "But with this [SRS] technology, we don't need to freeze the tissue, we don't need to stain tissue, and we don't need to biopsy—this acts like an optical biopsy and allows us to identify the tumor margins at a cellular level."
Several challenges remain before SRS microscopy could be used in the clinic. These include the engineering challenge of making a handheld surgical device with motion correction to acquire images from within a surgical cavity.

Refine Google Search Results by Using Plus or Minus Signs
Geek Tip: Refine Your Google Search Results
Like us on Facebook
Smart, right? The hyphen acts as a minus sign, so Google knows not to return results including those words or phrases. The same logic also works with a plus sign, so if you're looking for a super-specific result (like that movie title that is right on the tip of your tongue), use the + sign in between search terms to narrow down your search.

The StopTech Sport Brake Kit's braking performance packs a punch without knocking out your wallet. The StopTech Stage 4 Rotors-Pads & Lines Brake Kit is one of the simplest ways to greatly increase braking performance without having to upgrade to a larger caliper.
The StopTech Stage 4 Rotors-Pads & Lines Brake Kit composes of Slotted or Drilled/Slotted Brake Rotors that help keep your brake system cooler and also keeps dust and debris from building up on your pads. StopTech also includes a pair of performance pads like the StopTech 309 version Street Performance Pads or Centric 306 version Fleet Performance Pads. (Depending on Application) This helps increase braking power and the low dust formula is rotor friendly and helps keep your wheels cleaner longer. Rounding out the Stoptech Sport Brake Kit is nothing other than a pair of StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Lines which results in quicker pedal response and a firmer brake pedal.
A certified mechanic is always recommended to perform the install and initial break in steps of any brake upgrade. Installation is slightly more technical since hardware/lines, rotors, and pads will be replaced. We also recommend picking up 3 bottles of StopTech Brake Fluid to flush and replace the old fluid.

Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada receives generous donation
Image by VOLUNTEERS IN MEDICINE OF SOUTHERN NEVADA
Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada recently announced that it received a generous donation of $40,000 from the Robert S. and Dorothy J. Keyser Foundation.
The donation will support the volunteer-driven nonprofit organization which is dedicated to providing the uninsured with medical care.
The Keyser Foundation is based in Reno. VMSN will use $15,000 to buy equipment for its Paradise Park Clinic. The remainder of the grant will be used to support the nonprofit's general operating costs.
"Volunteers in Medicine is extremely grateful for this charitable donation. Without the support of generous donors such as the Keyser Foundation, we would not be able to carry out our mission of providing much needed health care for the uninsured in Nevada" said Dr. Florence Jameson, founder and president of VMSN.
There are more than 300,000 uninsured residents of Nevada. VMSN helps 2,300 patients, providing approximately 5,500 patient visits annually. This is made possible by 450 volunteer physicians, nurses, medical personnel and general support staff.
VMSN is planning to begin construction soon on a second clinic in downtown Las Vegas. A clinic downtown will allow VMSN to serve more patients and expand its services to include vision, dental and mental health care. The new clinic will be located on the corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Madison Avenue.

With the success of Guardians of the Galaxy, it truly seems like Marvel can do no wrong and can make a brilliant film based on any of its properties, regardless of how unknown or bizarre it may seem to the public. I believe that She-Hulk, feminist icon and unorthodox Marvel hero, might be the best candidate for a future film adaptation.
Let's take a look at what Marvel has done even in the last month. When the idea was first announced, movie executives and even some of the movie going public might have seen something as unknown and creatively taxing as the The Guardians of the Galaxy to be an effort portending to disaster, but a fantastic cast and James Gunn's original and irreverent screenplay and direction (as we noted in our review), Guardians proved everyone wrong and showed that fun and engaging stories are all that mattered, and could be massively successful.
However, the success of The Guardians of the Galaxy proved to the world that Marvel and Disney could truly make a movie about any of their intellectual properties, regardless of the potential risk or the lack of popular opinion on the character. As Escapist Magazine notes, Gunn and Marvel even had the confidence to drop in an post-credits appearance from a character who was absolutely synonymous with the failure of the superhero movie genre back in the late 1980s, thus showing that they could make people re-interested and even excited about the character that was originally scorned.
Considering Marvel's recent risk-taking behavior, I would suggest that the smartest movie for Marvel to make in the future would be the Jade Giantess herself.
For the unfamiliar, according to Marvel's own database, She-Hulk premiered in 1980. Jennifer Walters, a meek but good-natured lawyer, had unfortunately crossed a mob boss and was shot down in a mob hit. Forced to accept the irradiated blood of her cousin, Bruce Banner (a.k.a. The Hulk), Walters found that she gained Bruce's ability to transform into a savage green monster, albeit with a feminine physique.
In a twist, Walters soon gained a greater control over her powers – eventually gaining the power to change at will – and is even able to retain her intelligence as She-Hulk. In other words, Walters shows an even greater control over her abilities than her more famous male counterpart.
While sometimes played for sexual titillation, Escapist notes that She-Hulk soon developed her own identity as a quiet feminist icon, counteracting the sexualized comic characters that filled many of their other comics. Walters was an independent and confident lawyer with a quick wit and report with many of Marvel's big name heroes, while also remaining sexually free and confident. To this day, Walters continues her law practice, and remains one of the most successful lawyers, as well as one of the strongest and well-liked characters, in the Marvel Universe.
So why, of all characters, should She-Hulk be chosen over any more famous hero, or even other female characters? Two reasons.
First, despite the fact that, as Comicsbeat notes, 46.67 percent of comic fans are female, female hero representation in comic book movies has been notably lacking. While Scarlett Johansson has made a notable performance as Black Widow, her role is surprisingly limited and she is easily outnumbered by current male members of the Avengers, who will soon have Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, and possibly even Black Panther added to their ranks. And while Elizabeth Olsen will be making an appearance as the Scarlett Witch in Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron, her female presence will be counteracted by Aaron Taylor Johnson as Quicksilver.
It seems that while Marvel is willing to put a talking raccoon in a movie, they are still afraid to have a single female hero by herself. She-Hulk, due to her independent and confident nature, might be the best character to go on a solo adventure. While most female heroes are associated with teams like the X-Men or the Avengers, She-Hulk usually chooses to be on her own, dealing with her own issues and tribulations rather than engaging in the the typical superhero life.
But what would such an adventure entail? That is the second main appeal of She-Hulk: the sheer originality of tone in comparison to other films in the superhero genre. A She-Hulk tale, as opposed to any other hero, would not consist of simply fighting a villain. In fact, if one reads many of She-Hulk's modern tales, one would find that She-Hulk does not really have many consistent villains and that not many of She-Hulk's modern tales are about fighting villains.
I would imagine that a She-Hulk film would be in a vein similar to Paul Feig's Bridesmaids and her current critically praised run in comics written by lawyer Charles Soule, with She-Hulk's adventures consisting of investigating her cases while cavorting with both heroes and villains and trying to find a balance her personal, professional, and superhero lifestyles. It would not be an adventure in the tone of Captain America or Iron Man, but more of a "day in the life" tale, in a fashion similar to 2012's Dredd. Given Feig's growing success in Hollywood and his heavy consideration for the upcoming and possibly female-led Ghostbusters 3, it seems that many movie goers would not mind more female lead action films.
It is also worth noting that Jennifer Walter's snarky and irreverent nature often cuts through the histrionics of many superhero tales and produces memorable and often awkward interactions, whether it be arguing with Doctor Doom over the future of his son or talking about sexual double standards with Tony Stark. Walters has the connections and charisma to make a fascinating exploration of the Marvel Universe while also building a fleshed out, progressive, and relatable character for both male and female viewers.
Marvel has taken a lot of risks over these last few years. The fact that The Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers films exist at all is something to be marveled (if you excuse the pun), and the fact that they are successful, shows how hungry for fun and variation the movie going public is. A She-Hulk film seems like a natural step further down that path.

Yep, it's snowing outside! Here is how you can score a trip to the snow in style without spending the big bucks.
TBF's Guide to a Great Ski Vacation on a Budget
Gear. Here's the thing about clothes on the slope. The purpose is to stay warm and dry—and you don't have to pay a lot of money to do that. Since I don't live in the snow, buying a new wardrobe every season just seems silly. My favorite go-to move is to rent snow gear and occasionally buy during the super sales that happen before the snow season (selling last year's gear) or that right after (selling leftovers). At REI you can often rent snow pants and jackets, as well as skis, poles, boards, etc. It's best to stock up before you hit the mountain – getting everything on location is always more expensive.
Tickets. It's best to go mid-week instead of the weekend, but whatever you do remember that you can often scout for cheap tickets before you arrive at your destination. Consider Liftopia or Snow.com, websites where you can buy discount tickets by location.
Stay. The closer to the slopes you stay, the pricier your room will be. The cheapest way to stay is to rent out a house with a group of friends. There are a lot of ways to find rentals – you can always check Airbnb, Skihouserentals, or simply check out the location you want to stay and search for rentals.
Did we miss any other tips on planning for a ski vacation on a budget? Let us know in the comments!
