Jessica Simpson takes weight loss after baby one step at a time
It is no secret that Jessica Simpson has joined Weight Watchers to try and lose weight after having her baby girl Maxwell in May. Unlike some celebrities who seem to be in a rush to lose the baby weight after giving birth, Simpson does not seem to be in a hurry, but wants to do things at her own pace.
She has recently tweeted about walking as being one of her exercise regiments stating, "Just bought all the girls in my @weightwatchers group pedometers to track their steps. 10,000 steps a day = 5 miles! Let's step it up!"
Simpson opened up to People telling them that she does not have a goal weight and has not set huge goals for herself. Instead she stated, "I really want to set small goals, so I'm constantly reaching goals and not looking at something so far ahead."
Luckily, Simpson has the support of Weight Watchers, as they have denied that Simpson was given a deadline to lose the weight. It was rumored that Simpson had to lose 20 to 30 pounds by August, as reported by Ace Showbiz. Instead Weight watchers said they back [Simpson] 100 percent and they are "in it for the long haul."

Making a Color Connection
By: Abby Penning
Posted: April 7, 2011, from the April 2011 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 2 of 4And no matter the hue, its vividness, paleness, saturation or sheerness, a quality pigment is always important in color cosmetics. DiPietro explains DayGlo's cosmetic pigments have been used in all types of cosmetics, including eye shadows, mascaras, lip glosses and lipsticks, blushes and even as an element in a temporary hair color hair spray product. "The range of colors you can use is wide and varied—everything from yellow to purple. The magentas, purples and pinks always seem to be best sellers, though," he notes.
Consumers keep coming back for more of these colors because they inspire fun, youthfulness, vibrancy, comfort, empowerment and even ingenuity. As Jill Wittenberg, marketing manager for Hissyfit Cosmetics, says, "Nothing is more fun than creating gorgeous shadows because there is more room for creativity, where you can get away with high shimmer, vibrant colors and deeper hues." And though eye makeup might feature the widest range of wearable colors, Kelly explains that the rainbow of hues doesn't have to be limited to just eye makeup. Discussing Tarte's LipSurgence lip stain products, she says, "We wanted to make sure these were really colorful to draw the eye and give you something to focus on." She also notes the bright pops of color on the cheeks that can come via blush, saying, "Blush colors need to give you that pop of vitality and prettiness. It can evoke that feeling of being healthy, like you just went out for a jog."
Of course, some of the most overlooked colors of color cosmetics are those in foundations and concealers, though just as much work needs to go into those shades. "We've taken a different approach to color at Hissyfit by introducing palettes that are designed to suit a woman's skin tone in a system of shades for fair to deep complexions," says Wittenberg. "Some of our shades were developed with our makeup artist, who coordinates palettes so that all eye and cheek shades will suit a woman's skin. Other shades will be introduced based on trends and what the Hissyfit woman is asking for." And being able to evolve product colors for a brand is almost as important as having quality pigments to begin with.
Changing Colors
The introduction of new and additional color offerings is one of the beauty industry's greatest assets, as it keeps products fresh and offers new selections for consumers to buy. But knowing how to not oversaturate a line with new colors is important, too. "Nature plays a role in how often we change colors," says Kelly. "We think in terms of seasons—breaking out of the bleak winter with bright spring pastels, blooming and fresh colors for the summer, a more dramatic, smoky look in the fall, and winter featuring more charcoals, deep plums and silvers and golds for the holidays. Our color decisions often flow with nature."
Faulkner also acknowledges the importance of taking a studied approach to offering new pigment options. "Planning is done thorough an integration of historical data, customer input and forecasting based on knowledge of industry trends," he says. "The decision on which colors to produce is driven by the fashion trends of the industry, which means the most popular pigments are always changing. The industry goes through cyclical phases, chiefly represented by bright bold colors, frosted-sparkle effects and muted colors."

Day 21: Some More Speed
From Me and the Road
Date: 1/21/09
Consecutive Days Run: 21
Runner: Brandon Wood
Shoes: Newton AW Trainers
Location: New York, NY
Type of Run: mile repeats
Time of Day: 2:27 PM EST
Distance Run: 5.16 miles
Time Run: 00:37:26
Average Pace: 7:15 per mile
Weather Conditions: Cold-ish (37 degrees Fahrenheit), clear
Disposition: Good
Link to Run Detail: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/22887589
About the Run: Just as I sat down to write this it hit me that I\'ve been running every day for three solid weeks! I know that this isn\'t saying a whole lot in the grand scheme of things (seeing as I\'m aiming to run 52 weeks in a row), but it does mark the most days I\'ve run in a row, ever. Just thought I\'d point that out before writing the rest of this!
I am now three days out from running the New York Road Runners Manhattan Half-Marathon as part of the Half-Marathon Grand Prix. Since I didn\'t explain the whole \"Grand Prix\" part yesterday, I thought I\'d take a second to do it now. It is a series of five half-marathons, one in each borough of New York City: Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. Of the five, I did Brooklyn and Queens in 2009. Brooklyn, which ended at Coney Island, was so much fun and I ran what it, to date, my PR. Queens, on the other hand, was a giant mess! Not only was I only SEVEN days past Ironman Wisconsin, but the organization of transportation to and from the race site was less than stellar. Myself and about fifty other runners were dropped off about 2.5 miles from the start and about thirty minutes late! We had to run the 2.5 miles to the start and THEN begin. Not fun.
Anyway, I will get more into my goals and such for the Manhattan Half in the next couple of days.
Today was my last hard-ish run before the race. My assigned run was the same as it was on Tuesday: Warm up for 1 mile then run 3×1 mile at your 5K race pace. 2 minute recover between. I tried to be much more diligent about keeping track of the different sections or splits of this workout so I could really pinpoint what I was doing. My mile splits were as follows:
Mile 1: 6:21
Mile 2: 6:17
Mile 3: 6:27
They felt good with the exception of a tiny hotspot just behind the ball of my right foot in the last mile. I really do enjoy letting fly for speed stuff and I cannot wait until my fitness is back to where it should be! I must say though that I am running rather quick for me seeing as a year ago, I was running somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 minutes a mile in a race. I have to give kudos here to my coach, Jeff. I know that it\'s me who has to do the work, but with Jeff\'s guidance I have become a much stronger athlete.

Ultimately Responsible
When You're in Charge of Igniting a Ministry
Your greatest season of leadership lies before you...
It's not your own noteworthy, public accomplishments that inspire and encourage those around you to run the race with excellence. It's the practical, moment-to-moment choices you make as their servant leader that God uses for spiritual growth and ministry deployment. Great leaders are willing to sacrifice ego, self-significance, and self-imagined importance in order to live downward into increasing effectiveness, no matter what it takes. It is the passionate, relentless commitment to learning this art that God uses to transform ordinary people into intentional leaders.
In Ultimately Responsible you'll find ideas and inspiration to help you:
- Identify and maximize leadership strengths
- Develop an intentional strategy for spiritual growth as a leader
- Strategize and orchestrate a contagious ministry movement
- Unleash unpaid servanthood, turning inactive pew-sitters into passionate servants
- Effectively build and lead a paid or unpaid team
- Overcome inertia anchors and lead successful ministry change
- Create an intoxicating atmosphere of leadership credibility
Sue Nilson Kibbey, the executive pastor at Ginghamsburg Church in Tipp City, OH, coordinates senior management staff activities and serves as the team leader of all adult, student, and children's ministries. She has been named one of the top ten church administrators in America (thechurchreport.com). An ordained elder in the United Methodist Church, Sue is also the author of Starting a Single Adult Ministry and the creator of the Ministry by Strengths program.less

TOTAL EXPERIENCE explores designing for experience: its theory, its practice, and how designing for experiences affects us socially and in our personal lives.

Innovation Convergence 10 looks like the place to be this September. Featuring an all-star cast of innovators, including our own new co-author, Tom Mulhern.
One question: why do these innovation conferences always cost upwards of $2,000 (in this case, $3,000 with workshops)? Distilled wisdom dispensed by experts is one thing, but an audience distilled on the basis of wealth -- that's not innovative, it's pure showbiz.

Ethnographer Steve Portigal, innovation strategist Tom Mulhern (former principal, Conifer Research), and design theoretician and director Paula Thornton, i knovate will soon be joining me as coauthors of Total Experience. Their participation will add a whole new dimension to our blog, the ability to dialogue on issues. Moving away from the typical one-person point-of-view, TE will feature a multifaceted discussion in which, we hope, you too will take part. Welcome Steve, Tom, and Paula.

It's intriguing in how many different professions the design of experience takes place. But where does the designed experience begin?
Does it begin with the conception of a need? Or when a prototype design idea is floated? When a design team actually sets forth to design an experience? Or when the designed experience is first translated into a form that can be experienced by a human being?
I've asked leaders in key industries to get back to me with their impression of where the design of an experience originates and how a design idea percolates throughout the design process. I'll be reporting back shortly with their comments.
In the meantime, where do you believe intentional experiences originate? Enter your comment and let's see if you and the experts agree.

I'm still in San Diego, looking for distinctive landmarks that set it apart from other regions in California. So far, my impressions are that this "big small town" exists in a literal desert bounded by Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, and that it's main unique features are aircraft carriers, old and new.
An exception is the Birch Aquarium operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, a unit of the University of California. Scripps, now celebrating its 100th anniversary, has long been synonymous with oceanography. Like Woods Hole in MA, Scripps is one of the places that the discipline was invented.
The Birch originally was a simple affair, a collection of ocean-water tanks containing bright marine flora and fauna: mainly, fish. And that's how it remained until relatively recently, when the Birch finally acquired an executive director, Dr. Nigella Hillgarth, capable of formulating a vision for the Birch other than just showing off local fin folk. In fact, the Birch's newly expanded mission, accompanying a four-fold increase in its floorspace, is complex: describing and visualizing for the public the hundreds of research projects ongoing within Scripps, most of which are abstruse but many of which are relevant to the general public.
"The challenge we face," said David Krimmell, a designer and Manager of Exhibits whom I interviewed on a recent visit to the Birch, "is portraying the full range of exciting science taking place within Scripps to a visitor population that's largely parents with seven-year-olds in tow." David, an artist who joined the Birch after earlier stints with other local exhibitions, faces a few other challenges that exhibition designers elsewhere will recognize: limited floorspace, limited access to technology, and a budget that shows no signs of imminent expansion, other than whatever new revenues the Birch can itself generate via visits.

Working in my home office, in the otherwise pleasant SF suburb of Redwood City, has turned hellish. In small and large increments, the ambience of my neighborhood has been transformed from relative tranquility to a noisy purgatory by hordes of gardeners with lawnblowers (blowing dust and dirt into air and into the street for public clean-up), kids on gasoline-powered skateboards, second-childhood adults riding mini-motorcycles, SUVs and service trucks lumbering (and almost colliding) on narrow residential streets, and aircraft of all types flying low overhead.
The resulting cacophony's destroyed for me the of pleasure of working from home. Suburbia may not be as hustle-bustle as the Big City -- San Francisco still takes the local cake for chaos, creative and otherwise -- but Redwood City's 24/7 noise quotient is now so high, there's no delight in keeping the windows open on an otherwise beautiful summer day. The constant noise spoils everything.
As the Noise Pollution Clearinghouse states so well, "Polluting the commons is not a right. Our effort to reduce noise pollution is similar to other efforts to reduce pollution and reassert our collective stewardship over the commons. Whether the issue is second-hand smoke, elevated mercury levels, or ground level ozone, the strategy is to protect the environment and our health and well-being by creating an ethic of the commons." Unfortunately, in America the notion of the commons has always been more respected in the breech. There is no appreciation for our need for quiet nor policy that protects this vital and fast-disappearing environmental resource.

Whither The Touch?
The American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) is pleased to share this call
for papers. This call is for the AIGA special session of the College Art Association annual conference in Atlanta 2005.
The AIGA is seeking papers that address the question, "What is the place of the sensual in contemporary design processes and education?" The sense of touch is evident in the results of consumer product design and has been documented by the exhibition catalogs of the first two National Design Triennials, Design Culture Now and Skin."
This session seeks to investigate how the sensual is currently integrated into the areas typically associated with the process of creation in design, and, in what way is the sensual evident among the design disciplines in digital internetworked modes / environments of creation?
Further, is there a role for the sensual in pedagogy where digital, instrumental training occupies ever larger proportions of classroom time? Your responses are sought across the spectrum of design disciplines, and are sought of practitioners, educators, theoreticians and critics.
Mark Hurst has announced the next GEL (Good Experiences in Life) Conference , scheduled for April 28-29, 2005, in New York City. According to Mark,
"GEL is the only conference of its kind, focusing on experience itself, rather than on taxonomies or frameworks that only indirectly relate to experience. We all know a good experience when we see it; at GEL you'll hear the user's perspective, since (designers or not) we're all on the receiving end of experience most of the time.
"GEL brings together over a dozen eclectic speakers who are experts in a number of fields. Internet-related topics (on e-commerce, research, journalism) will be interwoven with offline topics (photography, performance art, education) to create a day focused on experience in all its forms."
GEL's special. Don't miss it. Sign up now and get a discount.
Apparently little noticed outside the field of retail marketing when it was published in 1998, ServiceScapes, by John F. Sherry, Jr., remains a treasure trove of findings regarding the notion of "place" in contemporary marketing. So much marketing is done abstractly, by the numbers, that it's refreshing to find a collection of case studies that actually puts feet on the street to observe how location and environment combine with brand to create new consumer perceptions. ServiceScapes isn't another trendy. slapdash, "shopping-mall" faux-sociology, but rather a considered, theoretical discussion of place and space, and their consequences for commerce and consumer experience, backed up by rigorous observation.

CAMPAIGN TRAIL GETS LONGER – State Rep. Jeff Perry wants to represent Cape Cod, the Islands, and the South Shore in Washington.
State Rep. Jeff Perry sees himself as a particular kind of Republican: the Ronald Reagan variety. He wrote a book, My GOP, that celebrates both the Californian's philosophy and his ability to build consensus for change.
Now Perry wants to be the change he admires.
"The people of the 10th Congressional district need a fresh, dynamic and effective voice in Washington," the Sandwich Republican declared as he announced his candidacy for Congress. "They need someone who will stand up for the things they believe in and fight for action on issues like real health care reform without mandates, better job opportunities, checks on illegal immigration, national security, lower taxes and less national debt, and an end to the insider and special-interest dealing that permeates Capitol Hill."
Perry views the district's voters as "tired and frustrated with what they see as a system in Washington that's broken and that's incapable of progress on issues that matter to them. I want to be someone who changes that."
Perry's formidable foe, should he survive a primary contest with several competitors, would be longtime incumbent Bill Delahunt. His decision opens the door for a real free-for-all to fill an open seat in his state district, which includes some Barnstable precincts.
He will hold a campaign kickoff fundraising event March 5 at 7 p.m. at the Cape Codder Resort & Spa in Hyannis.
On the heels of U.S. Senator Paul Kirk's announcement that he would deliver his final speech on the Senate floor yesterday [Feb. 4] came news that Senator-elect Scott Brown wanted to be sworn in the same day.
Ironically or not, a press release from Kirk's office stated that the theme of his talk was "the urgent need to move beyond political polarization…" When the Republican Brown replaces the interim Democrat Kirk, Brown's party will have the 41 votes necessary to frustrate the majority Democrats through filibusters.
Brown had planned to be sworn in next week.
Boston's Improv Asylum troupe plans a satirical look in March at Senator Scott Brown's dizzying ride to fame with its new musical, You're a Good Man, Scott Brown. We imagine that Martha Coakley will handle the Lucy role, only this time the protagonist gets to kick the football.
For tickets and info, call 617-263-6887 or go to www.improvasylum.com.
Jeff Perry may have set his sights on Washington, but his office continues to churn out releases about more mundane matters.
According to a press statement, the deadline for filing an application to take Civil Service exams for firefighter, municipal service is March 16. The exam will be held April 24. Details are at www.mass.gov/civilservice.
Perry is encouraging participation in the Pioneer Institute's 19th Better Government Competition, which this year seeks entries on the theme "Governing in Times of Crisis." There's a $10,000 prize for the winner as well as $1,000 awards for runners-up.

ATLANTA -- Shruthi Santhanam's goal was to make it through the first round of the Georgia Association of Educators State Spelling Bee.
The Suwanee Elementary School fourth-grader far exceeded her goal, correctly spelling 14 words before becoming the 13th contestant eliminated from the bee. In all, 20 elementary and middle school students from throughout the state competed in the bee.
After the first round, Shruthi said she was more optimistic about her chances, as she felt the initial words were easy. But two hours into the bee, she said she started feeling tired and hungry.
"I was sort of relieved," she said of being eliminated.
Her father, Arun Santhanam, said he thought Shruthi's performance was fantastic.
During the bee, she correctly spelled "flotilla," "antibiotic," "mantilla," "seltzer," "vulcanize," "capitulation," "magnanimous," "arachnid," "blitzkrieg," "ersatz," "apartheid," "ingenue," "schottische" and "ergonomist." She was eliminated on "latency."
Before competing in the state bee, Shruthi won the Gwinnett County Spelling Bee and the GAE District 3 Spelling Bee.
"We never thought she would come this far," her father said. "We're very happy."
Julia Denniss, 13, from Marist School in Fulton County won the state bee. Late in the 12th round, the bee was narrowed to Julia and 13-year-old Noah Weinrich from Learning Grove Home School in Oconee County. Noah went first and was given the word "pansit," but he spelled it incorrectly. The word was then given to Julia, who spelled it correctly, along with "conjunctivitis" to win the bee.
Julia will represent Georgia on June 2 to 4 in the Scripps National Spelling Bee Championships in Washington, D.C.

February dawns with a lot of intriguing little news bites about The Green Lantern, First Avenger: Captain America, and how your favorite characters may be mangled by odd story choices. Last year, I described this very same week as one where "everything is taking a breather before Watchmen, Wolverine, and all the madness that will follow the filming of Iron Man 2, Thor, Scott Pilgrim, and Captain America. In weeks, we're going to be bombarded with Terminator: Salvation, Star Trek, and Sherlock Holmes – and maybe, just maybe, a glimpse of Avatar. I can't wait for that stuff to hit the web so we have something to really tear into."
Ah, the innocence and excitement of February 2009!
In fact, seeing as there's so little to write about this week, I thought I'd go back to that very column and revisit its mawkish sentimentality. The Geek Beat has once again hovered very close to my Cinematical anniversary and my birthday (Wolverine style, we're going to avoid that topic), so I thought a retrospective was in order. I've been on this column and on this site for two years now, which is stunning and strange. I know it's corny, but it really seems like it was just yesterday that I was shyly talking to Erik Davis for the first time, and logging into our blogging software to write a Punisher: War Zone update. I now measure time by movie seasons and release dates, and it's a really surreal way to live. Two years goes by in a flash of casting news, rumor reporting, initial set images, and ranting.
When I first applied at Cinematical, I think it's safe to say that I had no idea what I was in for. I had an idea of "writing about movies" and what that entailed. I thought that I would like to do it. I wasn't sure I'd be good at it, or that I was qualified for it (and I'll always be convinced I'm not, as will 99% of my readers), but for whatever reason, I pursued it. At the risk of sounding very maudlin, joining this world has justified my sad little existence. Not because I think I do something incredibly important, but because I now know it's okay to love movies.
I know how silly and small that sounds on a film site that is speaking to fellow cinema devotees, but it's true. Like most of you, as a kid I ate up movies. I bought the t-shirts and toys, I subscribed to the magazines, I watched Entertainment Tonight for the behind-the-scenes spots. I obsessed about them, I dreamed about them, I was utterly consumed by the whole art of it. Like any kid, I was convinced that it had all been made especially for me, and that I was the only one to discover them. That's the great conceit of childhood -- you think the rest of the world overlooked The Wizard of Oz. Childhood is also a great bubble of timelessness where movies like The Wizard of Oz or Snow White were filmed yesterday. You don't know how it threw me to find out Judy Garland or Groucho Marx had done their filming a long time ago, and were no longer on this earth, or that Shirley Temple was now a grown-up. It made no sense to me.
But if that was difficult to comprehend, try explaining how you feel about this stuff to your friends. Initially, I never realized anything was "wrong" with me because my grade school class had a core group of fanboys that was all too happy to have a fangirl. But like lots of geek kids, I hit the awkward years, and lost that core group thanks to switching schools. I continued to assume that my friends would feel exactly the same as I did about Star Wars. It's a painful jolt to realize they didn't. Worse, they think you're pretty odd because you can't stop talking about it or showing them your mom's 1977 Star Wars soundtrack. Isn't it cool? It has pictures of the movie inside and if we just had a record player, we could hear it, and it'd be like watching the movie again. So what? Why is that fun? I don't know, it just is. Isn't it? No. Not to anyone I knew back then.
By the time I got to college I had convinced myself that liking movies was a really, really childish thing and I needed to think about important things like politics. My freshmen year only cemented my reasoning. Lord of the Rings came up on the first day of a classical literature class, and I excitedly said, "You know, they're actually making it into a movie!" One of my classmates sneered. "No, I didn't know. I don't pay attention to pop culture." I became very aware that knowing and caring about such things was unnatural in the halls of academia, unless you were at film school, which I wasn't. From that point on, I actually made a conscious effort to quit my world of movies and their fandom. I threw my obsession into ice hockey because I felt that was more normal. (It's not. Big Fan doesn't lie about the people you will meet while looking for a cool t-shirt in a sports memorabilia shop!)
I didn't stop watching movies -- I could never do that -- but I stopped paying attention to who was cast, and who was directing, and what was being made. I hung out at the library instead, and read biographies of Lev Trotsky and tried to crack The Clerk's Tale, convinced that was a more mature and ordinary way to spend my time. I was miserable. And yes, I cracked. Nothing as dramatic as what you might imagine, though. Nor was there a specific moment of depressed fanfare. I just had a gradual realization that I wasn't happy anymore, mixed with a slow and embarrassed recognition that half the things I had poured over -- Russian history, medieval literature, Edith Wharton -- were inspired because I had wanted to know something more about a movie I had loved. I should add that I don't regret studying a single one of those things (and I quite enjoyed it for years), particularly since it also helped me to realize that what most of what the world now regarded as Classic and True Art was once derided as ugly popular culture. Just think! In some stuffy 19th century classroom, there was a student sneering that he didn't read Charles Dickens because he didn't follow popular culture.
Of course, that's probably implying some arrogant analysis on my part. Last year, I wrote that "I may not be the writer my audience or my topics deserve, this gig was the hero I needed one year ago" and that still holds true. I walked away from everything I had built and worked towards. It was a horrible decision to make. I didn't do it with the intention of "I will go and write about movies now!" I didn't know what I would do. I just knew I wanted a different life, and one that movies would be a bigger part of. That it led to this was unimaginable. It's the stuff of fairy tales. I can't even begin to say how grateful I am to be in the nebulous club, friends with people I've admired, or how bewildered I am by the fact that people like to listen to me or read what I write. I'll never be comfortable with my position here.
But what I'd forgotten to praise last year was how much I love being a part of this wider, crazier world. When I was sitting at my computer miserably contemplating my thesis, this all seemed so far away and insurmountable. The people I read -- from Roger Ebert to Drew "Moriarty" McWeeny and Harry Knowles -- were these distant, glittering figures that you didn't actually talk to. So many of those barriers (and perhaps I imagined them out of my own poor self-esteem) have cracked wide open thanks to the ever-changing face of social media. I now feel like the discussion of film is bigger and more open than it's ever been. Whether that's good or bad for the art of criticism and filmmaking remains to be seen, but I appreciate that we can all talk about this stuff so freely. As wonderful as the platform is, what I truly cherish is that I'm now able to engage about movies with so many people. I'm permitted to run wild with my personal obsessions of the moment. It's a wonderful feeling to be accepted for that. I'd like to think that this new frontier means no awkward kid with their movies, comics, and collectibles will ever feel alone and freaky again.
When I wrote about fandom on the eve of a new decade, that sense of community was one of the feelings I was vaguely trying to touch on. Some felt I was critical of fandom in that piece, or that I was too narrow in my thinking, which was probably true. It was born out of a long year of combat. But one of the discoveries -- or perhaps rediscoveries considering I had once written it down in my class notes -- was the fervent belief humanity has always had in drama. So, when I say this gig justified my existence, I don't mean that my life was meaningless before I wrote casting news and The Geek Beat. It's that I now appreciate what the Greeks knew all along -- being deeply moved and devoted to the art of drama isn't silly, immature, or foolish. It's mystical. It's bigger than me, or you, or the words that are written about it. It was weak of me to ever think otherwise, and I can only thank Cinematical, my peers, my friends, and my readers for helping me realize that once and for all. I sincerely hope that you too can take pride, satisfaction, and comfort in that thought too -- and if mysticism is too touchy-feely for you, then at least remember those who sneered at Charles Dickens. Where did that ever get them, anyway?

hey Steven,looks similar to my list I am starting with next this week. Only two questions...1) Are you carrying a rain jacket (maybe I just missed it) or are you just going to do a windshirt with fleece under?2) Are you bringing an entire roll of Leukatape? I am just bringing a foot or two.
What are you wrapping the leukotape on? And how does a redo affect the adhesive?For rain I am just using the poncho. If I need something waterproof once in camp I can fashion the garbage sack into a makeshift poncho. I dropped the rain jacket a couple years ago along with a tent when I remembered how as a Boy Scout I used to get along quite well without both.
ah ha, skipped right over the poncho. That in combo with your windhsirt will work well.I normally re-wrap my tape around a larger sized paperclip but for this specific trip I wrapped 2 feet around a super small container of Gold Bond (travel size) I will be carrying.
Jonathan, how does rewrapping affect the tape adhesive. I've not used leukotape before and while definitely not needing a full roll am concerned that it won't adhere when pulled a 2nd time.
Edited by stevet on 08/11/2009 14:59:01 MDT.
Steven - "What are you wrapping the leukotape on? And how does a redo affect the adhesive?"Try a pen barrel, or similar. I tried a cut down carbon fiber arrow shaft and found the ends splinter - they can add injury to insult. Also, whatever you use, it has to be big enough to hold onto. Leuko is tenacious, and pulling it off something to small is really tough.As for re-do on the adhesive, I had no problems the first time around on a 11 day JMT in early July. It was hot then. Last week I used it again and found it pretty well baked, with the adhesive starting to de-bond. So, good for a warm trip or two, but needs to be checked (or chucked) after that, IMO.
Edited by greg23 on 08/11/2009 15:01:24 MDT.
I made a small roll, but finally settled on wrapping the leukotape lengthwise around my blood donor card. Packs really flat and seemed easier to pull off a length.
no extra pair of lenses?
I carry a spare (it my clean up kit), and have a fresh pair shipped in my MTR resupply.
Is 1 oz of Sunblock enough for the JMTI just spent 5 days with the same length of Leukotape on my feet, stuck on with Tincture of Benzoin. I was surprised how long it stayed on, so you may not need to bring as much extra tape as you might think.
I'll start with one ounce which has typically been more than enough for a week and have another ounce included in my MTR resupply.
Steve - this looks like a real good gear list to me. What is your base load weight ? Steve
I don't know how much it weighs...yet. I've never carried this exact list, the closest trip to this weighed in at about 15 lbs, so that is my current guesstimate. I'll be tossing it all together this weekend and making the final tweaks. I'll post an actual (to the pound, no digital scale) weight then.
Curious to know what that Mchale weighs?
My pack weighs 3.8 lbs.
Looking forward to your weight list. I think the pack would be the first thing to question if only because I think you are going to be quite light given your posted list.
Yes, I could shave 2 or more lbs from my load with a different pack. Been there. The load carrying ability of the frame and harness offer me comfort that I find more than offset the savings for anything more than a weekend trek.For the most part given the feedback so far the list will change little, maybe with the exception of the thermal long johns which if the "10 day" suggests stable weather I'll leave behind.A future upgrade for me may include a top bag or quilt which would probably suffice and save a pound vs. the WM Apache.Still I like throwing the list out there, it changes a bit trek to trek, and I always get a few ideas that help me reduce just a bit more than I though about myself. thanks, Steve
"I dropped the rain jacket a couple years ago along with a tent when I remembered how as a Boy Scout I used to get along quite well without both."Hmm... I have seen Boy Scouts groups this year. Nothing has changed. Same 50 lbs pounds "everything but the kitchen sink" philosophy.Maybe you were one of the advanced 'scouts. Used matches as logs to cross the sream and fire all night long in lieu of bear boxes.No, scouts are stil being traditional. Not even a glimpse of UL.
"Curious to know what that Mchale weighs?"No mystery here, 195 lbs at 6'2' height.
I thought he was lighter than that.....

Guys I've been trying to get that ring since last year. I tried like 45 times and no ring (i'm not kidding). Until I talked to my friend Angel and he told me he knows a way to get the ICE ring. He told to follow these steps:
1) Go FIRST in the first fire boss.
2) Go last in the last boss.
3) Be the one that kills the last boss.
4) The order doesnt matter in the rest of the mobs just the 2 bosses
Special Thanks to : Angel LotusDust.
Post if it worked cause it did to me here is the prove.

Newmarket Garage Storage
Garage Storage Newmarket: Some tips to transform your garage.
Organizing other spaces in your Newmarket home like a work desk or your kitchen pantry is really just a simple organic process of determining what items you use most, and putting them in the most accesible spot - then working outwards from there. But your garage is more of a challenge. Here are some tips from California Closets Newmarket to help you reorganize your garage and make it a clear flowing space you can be proud of.
1. Dedicate a few days to this - maybe a weekend. Have a sort out on day 1; a garage sale and a goodwill trip on day 2; and storage organization on day 3. You might like to get the whole family involved - if they know where everything is meant to go they are more likely to put things back in their proper place.
2. Have a look through your garage and start to group your items into categories. You will likely have a list of occasional items like luggage, sporting gear, camping equipment, automotive items, holiday decorations, and garden stuff, which need to be kept and stored properly. But you will also likely have things you hardly use. These items need to go in the trash, donate, or garage sale pile.
3. Start grouping your items in the garage according to their category. You might try placing these items in boxes and labeling them.
4. Think about your garage layout. You want to make sure the items you use often have a clear pathway to them. Items like the recycling bin should be kept near the entrance so it's easy to take out, and cleaning products should be strategically placed in an accessible spot. You should aim to make all your items accessible though and not have to pull everything out to get to it.
5. There is no better way to organize your garage than with custom solutions from California Closets Newmarket. They have an amazing range of garage storage options that can be customized to suit any garage space and any sized storage item. Stop by today and let one of the in-store designers take you through the many options available to tranform your garage.

Look for the Rocking chair on the lawn.
The rocking chair on the front lawn of Shepherd of the Hill Church symbolizes the more reflective life.
After the Amish school room massacre in Pennsylvania several years ago, Minnesota Public Radio's "All Things Considered" aired a commentary called "My Amish Rocker." It was about a more peaceful, forgiving, and loving way of life as demonstrated by the Amish. The SOTH Amish rocking chair, made by Jacob Miller of Millersburg, Ohio reminds us to think of a different way of life, to slow down, to breathe deeply, to be quiet, to listen and to get in touch with the deep of the human spirit.
