Re: Most dont need it
"Sure it sounds cool, but I'll argue till I'm purple that utility computing fits the needs better than true cloud in greater than 90% of orgs. But utility computing is not hip."
I look at it a little differently. Based on your previous comments, you're obviously a senior sysadmin/guru type of fellow, and from your perspective, you're right.
However, it may be something of a generational change (I'm not implying you're old!). Those web style startups that you rightly deride are going to be the large enterprises of the next two decades (some of 'em, anyway). And they will have grown up in a world where compute resources are this amorphous, abstracted 'thing' that you use as you need it. Yes, most just treat utility computing as the "cloud" (by renting VMs on someone else's hardware), but the true cloud is more hip, as you say, and more people want to learn how to use it properly.
When Larry and Sergey built Google, they had to buy hardware and run the servers on Lego blocks. The next Google will be built on Amazon, or Google, or even Azure (which I've been using and am pleasantly surprised by).
My knowledge of this area is limited because I wasn't around, but isn't there a parallel to the whole shift from mainframe to client-server (PC)? Mainframes were more powerful, etc, but PC was cheaper and and far more flexible. Mainframes still chug along and there's an ironic shift back to their model (I mean, cloud/utility is an extension of that in some ways), but the kids who got PCs at home and learnt to program on them built the enterprises that rule today.
Every single entrepreneur type I know - admittedly none of them famous or rich - is building on the cloud. Some try and architect their app to be a proper cloud app, some just treat the cloud as a bunch of remote servers. But they all say they're in the "cloud". Of course, this is just one guy's opinion on the internet
True cloud is hard to wrap your head around. I know I haven't, but I sense the glimmerings of it, and I know that there are far smarter people who are building apps in ways that were simply not possible with utility computing (on-premises or remote).
I suppose it really comes down to what's cool and hip, as you say. Another way of saying that may be - people converge on a solution, that becomes the standard - with little regard for what's technically superior.
It's fun to watch though.

Orange County Music Awards
Galaxy Concert Theatre
Saturday, March 30
Yeah, the guy who appeared to be in charge of seating everybody was overstressed and rude. And the scripted asides that award presenters were forced to spout—mostly variations of "I'm kinda busy here"—were beyond unfunny. And too many winners didn't bother showing up to collect their trophies (Walter Trout, we heard, was off in Europe, but what of Tim Moyer, Common Sense and Limbeck?). And the 10-minute intermission was more like 25. And the video clip of person-on-the-street interviews flashed during the intermission, when a parade of not-very-bright hanger-outers along Huntington Beach's Main Street cited as cool places to see bands the Glass House and the Showcase—both of which are not in OC!—was unintentionally humorous. And several names were cringingly mispronounced. And the categories themselves were confusing (separate awards for Best Pop/Rock and Best Rock? And Best Rap/Blues/R&B, melted together under one heading?).
Allah knows we've got a slew of suggestions and advice for Martin Brown and the organizers of the Orange County Music Awards, which this show was the first of what's planned as an annual shindig. Still, it's seldom anything like this flows right the first time, and Brown himself has promised that the event will improve as the years drift by. The notion of an award show spotlighting the best of OC music had been kicking around in various circles (including the Weekly) for at least a decade. That Brown was the first to actually pull the thing off deserves nothing less than a healthy round of huzzahs. Huzzah! Huzzah!
We were, on the whole, impressed with the way the entire evening went off. Amiably hosted by Wing Lam of Wahoo's Fish Taco and Allison Badger of KOCE-TV's Sound Affects local music show, the first Orange County Music Awards orgy was a packed-to-the-gills affair—even the Galaxy's Palm Room was busy, absorbing the overflow from the main room. Brown hurried about, dressed in his unassuming frock of black jeans and black OC Music Awards T-shirt. Reps from Borders Books, one of the sponsors, and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Orange County, who were benefiting from the evening's admission charge, spoke some words. The list of presenters included such local celebs as Chain Reaction's Tim Hill; Linda Jemison; Dan Bradley and Chris Fahey of the Detroit Bar; Tilo and Thadius of All Rise Records, OC's only hip-hop label (Tilo was annoyingly in a hyperkinetic wassup!-yo!-yo!-yo! mode); Reel Big Fish's Aaron Barrett; and surf-guitar icon Dick Dale, who handed out a Lifetime Achievement award to Galaxy/Coach House owner Gary Folgner (Folgner had to be coaxed out under the ruse of co-presenting an award—apparently he's just too humble, though recent near-death experiences can make you like that).
Interspersed with all the trophy-giving were live sets from Scarlet Crush (the night's big winner with two awards); Wonderlove (the night's other big winner, also with two); blues- and horn-soaked Savage City; Best Indie Rock nominee the Jay Buchanan Band; Best Female nominee Kerry Getz; Best Rock nominees Full Frequency, who turned the Galaxy into the old Club 369 with their fog machines and skanky, corset-wearing girl dancers who writhed about the stage and dry-humped the decorations (the band's music was even worse); Pop/Rock nominee Nice; Best Live Band nominee Slugg-O (great T-shirts, kids, but flattery will earn you no love from our ink-stained hands—people at our table were guffawing loudly at your front man's horny chimpanzee antics); opera singer Carrie Theodossin, who made even the people at the bar shut up—for about a minute, anyway—during her selection from La Boheme. The biggest, most boisterous response of the night was for Central/South American folk band Alturas and their Spanish guitars and pipes (they even got an encore and a standing ovation); and a closing set from 17-year-old singer/songwriter Angelina Rae, who didn't appear to be nominated for anything, but by then, everyone was drunk, so it didn't really matter.
Awards? Oh, yeah, awards! The list of winners: Best Female Performer, Ashley Bee; Best Blues/Rap/R&B, Walter Trout; Best World Music, Common Sense; Best Jazz, the Rare Form Band; Best Male Performer, Tim Moyer; Best Punk/Pop, Limbeck; Best Roots, the surf-happy Reventlos, somewhat of an upset over Chris Gaffney (though perhaps there'll be a Best Country award next year); Best Rock, Project 86; Best International, Flood; Best Out of County, Boomer McClennan; Best Live Band, Wonderlove; Best Indie Rock, Wonderlove; Best Pop/Rock, Scarlet Crush; Best Song, Scarlet Crush, "Something to Say."

UNIVERSITY PARK -- Central York High School graduate Kyle Baublitz was among the Penn State football players honored at the State College Quarterback Club's annual banquet honoring the Nittany Lion football team.
A crowd of nearly 750 filled the main ballroom at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel to honor 17 seniors and the 2013 squad.
Baublitz, a senior defensive tackle, earned the Football Letterman's Club Joe and Sue Paterno Post-Graduate Scholarship. The $5,000 scholarship is given to a senior to provide recognition and financial assistance for graduate school.
Baublitz had a final year of eligibility left for next season, but has decided to bypass that year of eligibility and begin his teaching career.
Baublitz was a starter for most of the 2013 season and played in all 12 games. He finished with 14 solo tackles and nine assisted tackles, good for 23 total tackles. He had three sacks for minus-14 yards.
Penn State All-Big Ten selection and co-captain DaQuan Jones was been named the team's Most Valuable Player of the 2013.
Jones was presented the Lions' Pride Outstanding Senior Player Award.
The 17 seniors were instrumental in Coach Bill O'Brien's squad winning 15 of its last 22 games, posting 8-4 and 7-5 marks, respectively, the past two years. Penn State capped this past season with a 31-24 win at No. 14 Wisc. on Nov. 30.
"This is a fantastic group of guys," O'Brien said of the seniors. "They were resilient. They accepted their roles. They knew what it meant to play for Penn State. I can't thank these guys enough. This program is about the players. It will always be about the players. We feel good about the future."
Jones is the fourth defensive tackle to be selected Penn State's Outstanding Senior Player since the award's inception in 1978, joining Lou Benfatti (1993), Brandon Noble (1996) and Devon Still, a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, in 2011.
A 2013 first-team All-Big Ten selection, Jones led Penn State with 11.5 tackles for loss (minus-42 yards). He was fifth on the squad with 56 tackles (33 solo), recorded three sacks (minus-21) and had a fumble recovery. A starter in 23 games over the past two seasons, the senior led all Big Ten defensive tackles in hits this season.
The former Johnson City (N.Y.) Senior High School standout has accepted an invitation to play in the 65th Senior Bowl on Jan. 25, 2014. Jones will be the seventh Penn State defensive lineman to play in the Senior Bowl in the past 11 years, joining Jordan Hill, Jack Crawford, Anthony Adams, Michael Haynes, Tamba Hali and Jared Odrick. The Senior Bowl is generally regarded as the top postseason senior all-star game.
In addition to the player awards (see below), former Nittany Lion wide receiver and kick returner Rich Mauti was presented the Alumni Athlete Award. A letterman in 1975 and 1976, Mauti returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown vs. Temple in 1975. He also was a second-team All-America midfielder on the lacrosse team. Mauti played eight seasons in the National Football League, playing for the New Orleans Saints and Washington Redskins. Mauti's two sons, Patrick and Mike, also were Penn State football student-athletes.
The Iron Lion Award was presented for the first time. It is awarded to the senior who demonstrates the cornerstone of the Penn State Football strength and conditioning program -- intensity and consistency -- to guard John Urschel.
The other 2013 State College Quarterback Club award winners were:
John Bruno, Jr. Memorial Award (outstanding member of special teams) -- fullback Pat Zerbe (West Lawn);
Ridge Riley Award (senior for sportsmanship, scholarship, leadership and friendship) -- tackle Garry Gilliam (Carlisle) and safety/linebacker Stephen Obeng-Agyapong (Bronx, N.Y.);
- Richard Maginnis Memorial Award (outstanding offensive lineman) -- center Ty Howle (Wake Forest, N.C.) and guard John Urschel;
Robert B. Mitinger, Jr. Award (senior who exhibits courage, character and social responsibility) -- linebacker Glenn Carson (Manahawkin, N.J.), tackle Eric Shrive (West Scranton) and safety Malcolm Willis (Marbury, Md.);
- Outstanding Run-on Award (Run-on player who exemplifies total commitment, loyalty, hard work and courage) -- tight end Matt Lehman (Newport);
- Reid-Robinson Award (outstanding defensive lineman). Named in honor of two of Penn State's most acclaimed defensive linemen, Dave Robinson and Mike Reid -- defensive tackle DaQuan Jones.
The Nittany Lion Club Academic Achievement Award (senior with highest GPA) was presented to John Urschel, who has a 4.0 grade-point average and was the 2013 William V. Campbell Trophy recipient and a two-time first-team Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-American.
Quarterback Club Special Awards -- tackle Adam Gress (West Mifflin).

most people are using 800 x 600, but saying this.. you can run the skin as any res as RR can change it for you.
anyone? im seeing 800x480, 700x420, i am a web designer just getting into carputers and i KNOW i can make some kick *** skins, so help me start. thanks!
most people are using 800 x 600, but saying this.. you can run the skin as any res as RR can change it for you.
ok well 800x600 would typically be the biggest res anyone is running on 7-8 inch screen, so thats good. dont most people have non 4:3 ratio screens though? wouldnt it make more sense to format it for widescreen?
also is there a guide on skinning? i can do all the art, but i'm not sure where to set everything outside of that.
yeah... 800x600 is the most common resolution, but when displayed on the wide-screen LCDs they are supposed to show on a ratio that is much like 800x480... so basically I recommend making the skn images at 800x480 (so that you draw everything the exact way it is supposed to look like on the wide screen), then save the images at 800x600 so that it doesn't require resizing... the physical aspect ratio of the screen will then "squeeze" the image into what it looked like at 800x480... Otherwise, if you make a perfect circle on a 800x600 image, when it gets to the Wide-screen LCD, it will look "squeezed" vertically... While RR has no DEFAULT resolutions, the skins have a general.ini file that defines the DEFAULT resolution for EACH skin.
PS: There are also a few LCDs that can do 848x480 so there are skins based on that resolution as well..

thanks guino. oh and in skin commands.txt you keep spelling below as "bellow". it only has one L. just lettin ya know.
hehehe... sorry but english is my second language.. so expect many misspellings and errors... some words are always hard to wrap your head around..

hell guino is better at his second language than i am at my first...
yea i made a skin at 800x480 and it went off the screen on my test comp, but that was uing 800x600 on a 4:3 screen. worked fine in my car with the 16:9
1998 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 4x4 in Evergreen Pearl Metallic, Lifted, Locked, and Armored. CarPc in custom console with molded touchscreen.
Photobucket is being updated, if a picture i posted no longer works, please PM me.
oh, did not not know that. my bad dude.
if you do some nice skins, why not offer them in several resolutions, give people a range. it may be some extra work, but you will get extra credit for it.
Yeah, if you can make them in both 800x480 and 800x600, I think it would be the best. Because then people like me that can run there screens at 800x480 don't need to have any unnecessary resizeing done to the image.Originally Posted by hakhawk

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas police say a toddler has been fatally
bitten in a dog attack at his home.
Police say the 2-year-old boy was attacked Wednesday afternoon by one, or perhaps both, of the family's mix-breed terriers. Police spokesman Bill Cassell says the dog weighed about 45 pounds and
might be a type of pit bull.
The boy and his younger brother were in their grandmother's care at the time of the attack. The younger child was unhurt, and the grandmother suffered superficial injuries.
The boy was not immediately identified.

- A prominent Chinese human rights activist will share his experience
as a political prisoner in his homeland Feb. 11 in one of five University
of Southern Mississippi University Forum events set for the Spring
2003 semester.
Harry Wu spent
19 years incarcerated by the Chinese government in the "Bamboo
Gulag" as a political prisoner, which he describes in his international
bestseller, Bitter Winds. He will recount his experience
in a presentation, "Made in China: Human Rights, Politics and
the Global Marketplace."
A variety of
topics are included in the spring forum series, which begins Jan.
21 with a presentation by Michael Shermer, said forum director Dr.
Amy Chasteen Miller. The Tuesday evening programs are sponsored
by the Southern Miss Honors College.
"We are
very pleased to be able to host a wide range of speakers this semester,"
Miller said. "I'm sure that all students and faculty, as well
as people in the community, will be intrigued by our lineup of speakers
this semester. Whatever your interest is, whether it be science,
human rights, music, gender and family issues, Native American issues,
or all of the above, this forum series should be very appealing."
The spring
lineup includes:
Jan 21
Michael Shermer, "Why Do People Believe Weird Things?
Science and Pseudoscience in America." Shermer is the author
of numerous books on science, history and culture, and is one of
the more highly visible figures in public discussions of science
and society in America today. He is the founding publisher of Skeptic
magazine and a monthly columnist for Scientific American.
In his work, Shermer explores a wide range of topics including
paranormal beliefs, Holocaust denial movements and science lessons
for children. Shermer received a bachelor's in psychology from Pepperdine
University, an master's in experimental psychology from California
State University, Fullerton, and a doctorate in the history of science
from Claremont Graduate School. Since his creation of Skeptic
magazine, the Skeptics Society and the Skeptics Lecture series at
Cal Tech, he has appeared on such shows as 20/20, Dateline,
The Oprah Winfrey Show, and other programs as a skeptic of
unusual and extraordinary claims.
11 Harry Wu, "Made in China: Human Rights, Politics,
and the Global Marketplace." Since his release as a political
prisoner, Wu has returned to China to document human rights atrocities
in prison camps, and he has twice testified before the U.S. Congress
on these abuses. In his international bestseller, Bitter Winds,
Wu describes his own imprisonment, from scavenging for food to enduring
nightmarish solitary confinement. Throughout these experiences,
Wu made a commitment to retain his dignity and furthered his commitment
to improving the lives of those working in China's forced labor
camps. In his most recent book, Troublemaker: One Man's Crusade
Against China's Cruelty, Wu explains his willingness to return
to China and his efforts to promote human rights.
25 Three Generations, "A Historical Look at African-American
Spirituals and Traditional Music." Three Generations is a group
of three men representing three distinct generations and three perspectives
of American folk songs and spirituals. Benjamin Matthews, founder
of Opera Ebony, is recognized as one of the leading interpreters
of African-American religious folk music today. Robert Sims, an
American Traditions Gold Medal Winner, is highly regarded for his
moving interpretations of African-American spirituals in concerts
around the world. The third "generation," Kenneth Overton,
is a young baritone who has performed in numerous operas around
the nation. The lecture by the Three Generations is featured as
part of Southern Miss's African-American History Month celebration
and is co-sponsored by the College of the Arts and Partners for
the Arts. This project is supported in part by funding from the
Mississippi Arts commission, a state agency, and in part, from the
National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
March 18
Stephanie Coontz, "The Way We Really Are: Coming
to Terms with America's Changing Families and the New Roles of Women."
Coontz teaches history and family studies at The Evergreen State
College in Olympia, Washington, and is the national co-chair of
the Council on Contemporary Families. She is the author of six books
on the history of the family including The Way We Never
Were: American Families and the Nostalgia Trap (1992) and The
Way We Really Are: Coming to Terms With America's Changing Families
(1997). Coontz has written for the Washington Post, the New York
Times and popular magazines such as Vogue, and she has appeared
on many television programs, including The Oprah Winfrey Show
and CNN's Crossfire. Coontz also has testified about her
research before the House Select Committee on Children, Youth and
Families in Washington, D.C., and has addressed audiences across
America and Europe. Coontz currently is working on a book on the
history of marriage. Coontz's lecture is part of a series of events
in recognition of Women's History Month. April 15 Michael
Yellowbird, ""Cowboys and Indians: Images of Indigenous
Peoples in Popular Culture." Yellowbird, a citizen of the Sahnish
and Hidatsa First Nations, is an associate professor in the School
of Social Work at Arizona State University. He has written extensively
on political and cultural issues related to indigenous peoples in
North America. He also teaches classes on various topics related
to diversity in social work practice. Yellowbird's assessment and
evaluation practice has been in health, social service and educational
programs that serve First Nation communities. He has been employed
by the Ho Chuck Nation in Wisconsin to assess and evaluate their
tribal child welfare programs (1999). He also was employed by the
CRESPAR Project to assess retention of students, and service and
relationship congruence between service providers in the Gila River
Indian community, Haskell Indian Nations University (Lawrence, Kansas)
and Pennsylvania State University.

Sepia tone for all things Rapha.
Riders (R-L) and what they are riding in the event:
Nate Bradley (Psychlo X 28mm tires)
Kelly Boniface (Vamoots CR 28mm tires)
Matty Pronovost (Vamoots SL 28mm tires)
Corey Piscopo (Vamoots RSL 25mm tires)
Matt Alford (Psychlo X 28mm tires)
Jon Cariveau (Vamoots DR 28mm tires)
This Saturday the six riders above will set off on the Rapha Gentlemen's (plus a lady) Race near Boulder, CO. The course is laid out and tactics have been thought through. Our fearless MOOTS FACTORY PILOTS team will be rolling off the line at 7:52 MST Saturday morning. The Rapha Gentlemen's Races have been around for several years and they go something like this…..Unsanctioned, unmarshalled, unmarked, unsupported…ride as fast as your slowest person, live off what you can find in stores along the way. It's hard, like really hard. Most teams don't finish. Bring low gears and bigger road tires, are the instructions from Raph HQ….a good portion of the route is dirt road/gravel….and in this case that adds up to about 50% dirt. Sweet.
The Bubble. The Olympic Village. The Republic. Call it what you want, it has terrain that is world class and athletes that are the same. Canyons, flat, rollers, altitude….heat, snow, hail, rain…it's all possible in a single day of riding. We will set off to tackle the course and ourselves.
You name the climb around Boulder and we will be climbing it. A total of 106 miles with 13,444 feet of climbing. ABC…..(always be climbing)….An interesting thing about the Rapha Races is that the course is not marked. Only GPS coordinates and a cue sheet are given out, so the race is also part route finding if you are not familiar. We have Matt Alford on our team and he has lived in Boulder and Nederland over the years and knows the entire county really well. He'll be our navigator for what lies ahead on Saturday.
The riders on the team come from almost every department at Moots. Sales, miter, welding and marketing. Kelly Boniface comes from our GrassMoots Team and is an orginal team member in that program. All of us have ridden a good amount of miles with each other, so we have that going for us. The goal is to ride at a good pace, have as little mechanicals as possible and help each other through the point in the day when each will crack. You must finish with all 6 riders at the same time to be counted.
There are none. Well, kinda. First place team usually gets a full Rapha kit for each rider. Second place gets all the beer. …Oh, about the beer. Each team must bring one case of beer to the start line. There are 24 teams……and that's a crap load of suds.
We'll be posting on our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook feeds as the day unfolds. Follow along if you can.
Wish us luck.
Just out is the August/September SWITCHBACK (issue # 19) and inside the crew at SB take a deep look at the Rogue YBB. The 27.5" wheel platform is the BIG thing in the bike world these days. We are building two models: Rogue YBB and the Rogue RSL and they are on fire these days. The mating of our legendary YBB pivotless rear end with the mid-wheel size makes for an amazing cross country ride. If you fancy a hard tail, the RSL version is build for pure stiffness and speed.
You can read the entire SWITCHBACK review here: MOOTS ROGUE YBB
Hot off the press in the August 2014 ROAD Magazine our Vamoots DR gets a review and some great kudos for standing out in the sea of carbon fiber- flavor of the month bikes:
You can open the entire PDF here: ROAD DISC REVOLUTION
They have become less frequent this week. Not many weary faces, dirty bikes and empty eyes left in our parts. The Tour Divide is coming to a close. Steamboat and Moots are on the route, our shop sits just 200 meters off the course and if you time it right you can see the blurry eyed riders coming down CR129 from the north off the top outside deck. Not many come our way, as it takes all the energy they can muster just to get to the nearest open bike shop for repairs. More times than not that shop is Orange Peel Bicycle Service. We are just a bit over half way on the course, so at this point there are some worn out bike parts. Brock (shop owner) and his crew are not new to the Tour Divide riders. They see this every year and can almost nail the hour the first rider will show up. (SPOT trackers are amazing little gadgets) They know what to do when one rolls up to the shop. It goes something like this:
*drop bags off bikes
*offer the rider a seat or point them in the direction of the closest food source
*put bike in stand
*drop off all offending parts
*"clean" what they can to get the work done
*they replace it all: bearings, cables, tires, tubes, brake pads, worn (or eaten by a bear) pack bags
Orange Peel has 5 work stands and during these heavy weeks of the Tour Divide they are all in service….usually at the same time. 5 bikes, going. Orange Peel operates like a well oiled machine….each shop wrench knows their part and is capable of doing it all. King bearings?…no problem….Mavic freehub body? Got it. Rohloff? Can do. Single speed cog & chain? Done. Those first 5-6 days of the route each year seem to be held underwater. Rain and post-holing through snow…..not so good for bike parts…..especially after you then ride them for 800+ miles without service.
This year some really fantastic people took part in the event. We tracked them and met them, for most they passed through in the night without as much as a hello. At last count there were at least 10-12 riders on Moots frames….out of 135.
Alice Drobna
One such visitor came in the form of Alice from Bend, OR. She happened on our door just before the lights were on…..riding her Moots Mooto X single speed. She was interested in seeing how her bike was made and wanted to meet us. I happened to be in work early that day and toured her around our place. She was quiet and somewhat shy. She didn't want to bother anyone, just see where he bike had been made.
Several of our production staff got to meet her and congratulate her on being pretty much a super bad ass. Did I tell you she was leading the women's division overall?…..on a single speed? She liked to keep her rig simple. Very little issues for her other than the normal wearing of tires and brake pads….and a bit of a sore butt. Simply an amazing ride, congrats Alice!
Nic Handy
One other such amazing person on the route was Nic Handy. Nic rode a bike that he had the concept for a couple of years ago; the do-everything- go anywhere Farr Hoots. A name with a little of Moots, a little adventure. The bike itself featured at the Denver edition of NAHBS in 2013. It has its own Facebook page to boot. Once the show had passed Nic started putting the bike to the test, doing "short" rides into the Colorado Mountains for training for the big TD event. Well, Nic did it….on his first try. Overcoming some early rain and snow, a sore Achilles and day off the bike….he pushed on. He passed into Steamboat during the night and rendezvoused with a couple of the Moots crew at a local restaurant where he ordered just about one of everything off the menu. ….followed by a deep sleep. The next day he was on his way to Summit County where he met up with his girl friend. Off he went, all the way to the US/Mexican border where friends & family were waiting for him for his finish.
After the event Nic has been adjusting back to "normal" life, which could not possibly be too normal after 2745 miles out there….pedaling a bike, making due on your own, bears, storms, mud, heat, wind and your own thoughts as you push along the Tour Divide.
We have a close friend here in Steamboat that has done the event and finished 2nd in the geared division…he once told me that he put himself into a mode of thinking that "this is how the first Tour De France riders did it"…..no outside assistance, no team cars, no clean place to sleep at night,……just where your body put you is where you stayed. I think this event just nails it when getting back to how it used to be.
Congratulations to all the Moots riders that got out there…we are proud to your bike of choice for the Tour Divide.
Big blue skies, ranches and bikes….the perfect day.
The Ranch Rally route of 50 miles, (45 of which was a mix of smooth dirt road, gravel, rough gravel and goat two track) took off at 9am under sunny skies with a mix of clouds that made for a spectacular day on the bike. While out on course the 90 rider group was treated to almost car free roads that circled Elk Mountain that lies just to the northwest of downtown Steamboat Springs. The roads twist through this part of Routt County pass by ranch after ranch and offer beautiful views of the Continental Divide. The bike choices ranged from road bikes with larger tires (28mm) to cross bikes to even some mountain bikes. Each had its place on the course, but for most a road bike with a bigger tire did just fine. It was interesting and rewarding to hear of riders pushing their limits on equipment that normally they wouldn't think of using for the different conditions. It's also been a dream of ours to share those dirt roads with those that might not think of venturing off the paved routes.
A number of the CAA board greeted riders at the Rockin' C Bar Ranch for a post ride lunch.
We teamed up with the Community Agriculture Alliance of Steamboat Springs to raise awareness of our local ranching community and raise some money at the same time. All proceeds went to the CAA. They worked with us to notify the ranchers on the route in hopes to have as little impact on the busy schedules they keep. In the end we will be able to write a check for $1000.00 to the CAA.
You experienced it….now become a part of it. Join Community Agriculture Alliance and help this organization preserve the agricultural heritage of the Yampa Valley. A financial contribution of any amount is welcome and will ensure that CAA programs continue. Visit their website at www.communityagalliance.org for information and to review membership opportunities. You don't have to own a cow or a horse to be a member of CAA….the saddle you rode on Saturday proves your interest in agriculture!

Delicious - followed recipe exactly. The salmon came out perfectly and the sauce was wonderful. My only comment is that the sauce was so good it overpowered the salmon ( not necessarily a negative for those not crazy about salmon).
Typically, I am not crazy about salmon. However, I like curry so when I saw this recipe, I thought I would give it a try. What a terrific dish! My husband proclaimed it to be restaurant quality!

After teaching music at Morgan Middle School for 27 years, Dr. Gordon Johnson retired from the school district. In that time, Johnson estimates he has taught about 15,000 students.
But his career teaching music began almost five decades ago when he started teaching private piano lessons. A piano student himself while growing up in Ogden, Johnson fondly recalls his former piano teachers.
"I have always known since I was young that I was going to be a teacher," Johnson said. "It is a profession where I can give back."
Previous to teaching in Morgan, where he replaced retiring educator Dean Pace, Johnson taught at Uintah High School from 1974 to 1976. He also taught music for four years from 1979 to 1982 in Beaver, Utah. Johnson's father had taught music in Beaver as well from 1929 to 1931.
Johnson has taught many Morgan students how to read music and play all kinds of instruments. For many of those students, it was their first exposure to music.
He is versatile enough to teach beginners on all instruments including woodwinds, brass and percussion. His instruments of choice are the piano and organ, although he played the French horn through school. In college, he accompanied the Weber State Singers. He has also performed in a ragtime group at Lagoon and a recorder quartet in the early 70s.
He began his college graduation at WSU as a music major, but later changed it to a German major. Soon after graduating from college, he taught choir. Just two years ago, he started learning how to play the guitar.
Admittedly, teaching middle school-aged students isn't always easy. But he said he was always amazed at the creativity of his students. Over the years, he has been blessed to know many gifted students.
"I love trying to teach kids to learn and instill in them a love of learning," he said. "I learn to love the kids and see them for who they are and not what they do. The kids have kept me going and made me stay lively."
He has enjoyed being part of the faculty family at Morgan Middle School for almost three decades. In fact, that is what he said he is going to miss the most.
"I don't know of a better faculty group, people that care more about the success of teachers," Johnson said.
Johnson has also served for 25 years as an adjunct professor at Weber State University, where he has taught introduction to music, music history and, most recently, music of world cultures.
Johnson is no stranger to the influence music has had on culture, or vice versa. In 2000, Johnson responded to an advertisement to learn how to make and play Native American flutes at a three-day workshop.
He used the skills learned there to teach middle school students the art of making and playing Native American flutes. Johnson said such a class in a public school setting is very unique, perhaps the only one like it in the nation.
While not in a classroom setting anymore, Johnson doesn't plan to stop his flute making hobby. Just a week into retirement, he is prepping a woodshop in his backyard to be his new flute making workshop, much like the one he had in his Morgan Middle School office.
He plans to continue teaching at WSU, where his own father once taught for 32 years and served as the music department chairman.
"It has been an interesting journey," Johnson said. "Morgan has been a great place to teach."

Daniel and I dropped by at The Rivoli at Queen West and Spadina after work on Wednesday before heading to Ignite the Night. The busy restaurant serves eclectic global comfort food; at the intimate side bar, patrons cozy up to enjoy cocktails and great music; the Pool Hall upstairs offers vintage tables, full menu and comfy booths; the best people watching in town goes down on the Patio. Since it was nippy Fall weather we sat at the window seat overlooking the patio and Queen Street West. We ordered a bowl of the thickest yam fries that I have ever seen (served with chipotle mayo which most definitely required more chipotle) and a few beers.
#116 restaurant reviewed in Ontario since moving to Toronto in 2010.

Make your own
you need embroidery floss... (I already had some) You'll need a piece about 4 feet long
Line up all your buttons in the order you want them
Separate your embroidery floss into 2 even sections
Thread into 2 sewing needles, then with both strands together, go to the other end, come up 5 inches and tie a knot.
Thread one needle through a button,
then the second needle through the other side of the button.
Tie 4 knots and you're ready to thread the next button.
Make sure when you tie the knots that they are on the side of the button...
not on top/bottom.
when you have threaded every button, tie the ends together anyway you like!

Log Hollow Falls
This waterfall may be called Log Hollow Falls, Falls in Log Hollow, or the Falls on Log Hollow Creek. Since there's no "official" source for this one, I'll go with the shorter name. The falls is pretty - a cascade with some free-falling sections and a nice pool at the bottom. It has nice, banded, colorful rocks.
Driving Directions
From the intersection of NC Hwy. 280 and US Hwys. 276 and 64, follow US 276 West into the Pisgah National Forest for 10.5 miles. Turn left on FR 475B. Go just over 1 1/2 miles to a hairpin turn to the left. There is a large Forest Service interpretive sign and a gated road on the right. Park on the right without blocking the gate.
Trail Directions
This one's easy to get to but not visited as often, making it a great one to take the kids to when you want to get away from the crowds a bit. The trail (a logging road) is easy and it takes about 10 minutes to reach the falls at an average pace. Go through a clearing, across a new bridge, then across a second bridge, where you can see the falls on the right. A short path leads up the creek just past the second bridge to the base of the falls.

Companion forum thread to:Altra Lone Peak 1.5 Trail Shoe Review
Thanks for the time and effort on the review. It would be nice to see manufactures build a longer lasting shoe. Especially with the cost per pair. 200 miles is mighty short.and make more shoes available in a 15. please.
Edited by kthompson on 09/18/2013 06:11:25 MDT.
if yr constantly on granite and limestone scrambles ... get approach shoesthe more durable uppers, and sticky rubber makes a differenceand they arent that "heavy", in some cases LIGHTER ... compare my size 8 guide tennies at 346g/shoe vs my inov8 size 8.5 terroc at 349gthe tennies uppers is much more durable with leather, a durable toe box ... has sticky climbing rubber ... the only problem is that the traction sucks in the mud due to the tread pattern, and it takes forever to dryi think that too many consumers these days trade away durability in shoes these days for perceived "performance" ... BPL is littered with threads of shoes that seem to be worn out prematurely;)
Eric I'm not a climber but I don't think I've ever seen an approach shoe wit a wide toe box or zero drop. The Altras are the only shoes that have that and enough protection for me carrying a load on a rough trail. So for now I'll be buying Altras like Ryan till something more durable comes along.
I bought some Lone Peaks back in May (not sure which version) and they were the worst best shoes I have ever had. Amazingly comfortable! Unfortunately with about 100 km on them they were toast. That was one 32 km day hike and one 26 km overnight hike. The rest of the distance was a few short walks with the family and a bit of around town walking. The midsole of the right shoe disintegrated. I would almost describe it as deflating under the heel! To make a long story short, after sharing pictures and describing the problem with Altra they basically said tough luck and wouldn't warranty them. If they sort out the quality and durability I won't buy one pair I'll probably buy 3 as they really were that good for the short time I had them.

So for now I'll be buying Altras like Ryan till something more durable comes along.thats your call if you really want something with 0 drop ... plenty of approach shoes have a wide toe boxbut put it this way ... if those shoes are slipping on easy/moderate slab when the front sole wears out ... thats not very safe IMO if yr scrambling theres plenty of places where to slip and fall is to dieapproach shoes should have no problems even when totally worn on easy slab, in fact you get better friction when the lugs wear out as theres more surface contactive mine on this ... when they were worn down to this ...for trails its irrelevant ... but when your basically scrambling on granite and limestone slabs/blocks ... this is what approach shoes were made to do ...;)
Edited by bearbreeder on 09/18/2013 07:36:31 MDT.
I have no experience with the Lone Peak 1.5, but am currently using the Superior which is less shoe and will be doing a review on another site.Over the past month I've put 131 mixed miles on them with 76 being trail and 55 being road. The trail miles have been a mix of hardpack, 1-2" gravel, larger rocks, solid rock, exposed roots, and some man-made steps/ladders. The road miles are mostly asphalt with some concrete. Thus far, the outsoles show very little wear. Not applicable to wear but may be of interest to some - all but one 20.6 mile trail run have been without the insole or rock plate. I did the same 20.6 mile loop back to back weeekends, one without the plate/insole and one with. The combination definitely helps with foot fatigue and deep muscle/ligament soreness when running over those 1-2" stones, but the additional stiffness creates its own issues (at least for my feet).I did just notice the piece of the sole that wraps up on to the toe box is starting to pull off a bit at the edges:Minor sole wear.Upper:Excuse the lower quality cellphone photos. The review will have better ones, but I wanted to get some quick shots.
Edited by simplespirit on 09/18/2013 08:27:57 MDT.
EricApproach shoes are a bit of a one trick pony with the exception of a few offerings that might make decent dayhike shoes with more technicality on slab. Multi day backpacks on routes with wide surface variation? I think there are better options than approach shoes. The use of sticky rubber shoes allows for great slabbing on short approach hikes from car to the crag, but are pretty shitty for just about everything else considering most of the shoes that incorporate stealth rubber have relatively flat outsoles. Holding the Lone Peaks up to an approach shoes ability to negotiate granite and easy class climbing and bouldering is slighlty lopsided, considering the shoe was intended to be a running shoe, one that works very well within that context. The Lone Peak in the context of backpacking appears to be up to the task for the most part, with the drawbacks being long term durability. Please, show me "plenty" of approach shoes that: dry quickly, use lightweight/breathable materials, allow natural movement of the feet, well rounded traction for varying surfaces, and all day comfort with a pack on for several days on repeat. There is always going to be a compromise in footwear when dealing with outdoor footwear. Anyone can pull an example out of thin air of a shoe that excels in one discipline. Approach shoes are very much a niche in the market.I've seen very few approach shoes from the climbing world that successfully check all of those boxes off. The La Sportiva Anakonda may be the closest shoe I've seen recently that provides superior traction for a variety of mountain terrain in a lightweight minimal package suitable for low class scrambling, hiking, trail running, etc.. I'd pick the Anakonda over the Lone Peak, and definitely over an approach shoe.
I've been very happy with the Altra Superiors, have about 300 miles on them. Seems like they have a better upper in terms of protection and durability, plus I like the styling more. Lots of use in the Sierras. I cut off the mud flap on the back straight away as it launches sand all the way up into one's waistline.Altra Superiors 2013 model:
In June of this year I used a pair of Lone Peak 1.5 in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks. While the shoe was comfortable (I use Altra shoes for road running as well, as I have very wide feet), I found the traction to be pretty awful in the wet ADK landscape. I usually use Scarpa Sparks, and found that the Altra slipped on so many wet rocks that they were quite dangerous to use. I don't have the same problems with the Spark.So I would recommend them for a dry climate, or possibly the Rockies, but for the wet Adirondacks, they were less than ideal. Love the width though, and wish more manufacturers would offer shoes with a similar last.
I have just completed two 75-mile backpacks through the Manzanos, San Mateos and Magdalena mountains of New Mexico. Trails and cross-country at times. It's been a test for me and the Lone Peaks.I love wearing the shoe, but my chief and immediate complaint was with the toe guard. Not tough enough for southwest conditions. Won't stop a prickly pear spine and on two occasions had to remove the shoe and tweezer out a gnarly spine from both left and right shoes. We have lots of pricklies that live just out of sight along our trails, and this is what nailed me. I think maybe only leather could have stopped them.I'm also seeing the fabric on top of the shoe wearing and the review is correct in that they are very slow to dry.Like the author, despite complaints, they remain a wonderful shoe to wear.
Ryan, my experience with the Lone Peaks has been the same as yours. I have a pair of 1.0's and a pair of 1.5's, and I love them for trail running, trail hiking, and general all around use. For off-trail hiking, they're not so great. My biggest issue is poor traction. I just got a pair of Sketchers GOBionics to try out. They have similar attributes as the Altras: wide footbox, zero drop (without the insoles), and light weight (3 ounces each lighter than the 1.5's, sans insoles). They are also significantly less expensive. I haven't given them a good test yet; they are very comfortable so far, and the tread pattern is more aggressive than the Lone Peaks so I'm thinking the traction will be better. The light weight worries me a bit as far as durability goes, but we'll see.

Ryan- thanks for the review. I tried on a pair and they felt great- I have to have a wide toe box and they have that in spades. In the end I was a little uncomfortable w/ a 0 drop (maybe needlessly). Another shoe to look at that might better fit the bill is the Pearl Izumi N2 Trail. Wide toe box, low drop, but not 0, lightweight and they dry fast. I've got ~ 250 miles on mine including two very rocky 50k's, also some rather rough miles w/ a 20-ish # pack. I'd say they'll do another 250 w/o too much trouble.The outsole isn't as aggressive as some trail shoes, but I have no complaint on grip w/ rock or any other surface- wet or dry.
I had high hopes for the Lone Peaks having read Anish used them on her 40+ miles per day, 60 day PCT hike. I was especially interested in them because of the expanded toe box. The old Golite Sundragons had this feature and I considered them the best fitting shoe ever made, too bad it ended there because they disintegrated the moment you put them on the trail. Maybe someday some will take this superior style of last and make it out of durable material. If only I could get LaSportiva to make a shoe like the Raptors I currently use with a larger toe box!
Approach shoes are a bit of a one trick pony with the exception of a few offerings that might make decent dayhike shoes with more technicality on slab. Multi day backpacks on routes with wide surface variation? I think there are better options than approach shoes. The use of sticky rubber shoes allows for great slabbing on short approach hikes from car to the crag, but are pretty shitty for just about everything else considering most of the shoes that incorporate stealth rubber have relatively flat outsoles. Holding the Lone Peaks up to an approach shoes ability to negotiate granite and easy class climbing and bouldering is slighlty lopsided, considering the shoe was intended to be a running shoe, one that works very well within that context. The Lone Peak in the context of backpacking appears to be up to the task for the most part, with the drawbacks being long term durability. ahhh ... but i did mention approach shoes are SPECIFICALLY for what are basically scrambles ... places where your rubber cant slip or yr screwed, excuse the punfor trails theres plenty of other options ...but you do have to remember that there is plenty of wiggle room in "approach shoes" ... some have a deeper tread pattern, most are quite durablemost though do have upper leathers, though there are a few with meshin reality they are not too different from light hikers many people use, but with better traction on rock and better climbingthe point is simply if youre going to be using trail runners shoes in boulder fields, scree, slabs, rock faces,jamming them into easy cracks, etc ... they will get TRASHEDnow fit is a personal choice, but ask yourself if theres another shoe that isnt more durable, that wouldnt work just as well for what you want to doif youre using a shoe in high wear/abrasion activities ... perhaps something a bit tougher, and im not saying get boots, would be in order?;)
Eric I definitely would consider and approach shoe on slick rock. However I don't hike on that very often. Funny someone mentioned the Adirondacks. I only did one overnighter there but that would have been the perfect place for an approach shoe. So for now I'm stuck with Lone Peaks. My ideal shoe would be an Altra with more durable uppers and the sole of the old La Sportiva X-Countries.
im actually really puzzled why manufacturers dont make their trail runners more "durable" ... it wouldnt weight much more in many cases if anything ...i understand that with regular use in harsh environments, things wear out much more quickly ... but it seems that everyone and their dog on BPL has issues with runners wearing out with moderate use ...i remember when i was young, we use to go scrambling around in our gym sneakers ... and those things lasted forever, once my feet stopped growing i dont think i ever wore out a pair of cheap sneakers even after a decade of use ... course i suspect that even the cheap tennies shoes back then were much simpler and better constructed than the $$$$ "performance shoes" these dayspersonally i think manufacturers KNOW that their shoes will wear out quickly and do a bit of "planned obsolescences" ... the more shoes you but the better ... as long as you believe that nothing else will "work" as well, youll be willing to pay the piper every few months ...it sure seems that theres more of a marketing focus than real utility ... plenty of fancy colours, logo/pretty cutouts that falls apart, weird graphic designs on the sole that serve no purpose, etc .... honestly ... just build me a simple, functional shoe that works .... i dont need the marketing department to tell me there ooogles of cushioning, or that itll make me into a barefoot kenyan runner ... they still go kaput of course ... but after getting good use out of em;)
I want to see shoe manufactures going to back to sewn on soles. No more sole delamination and very easy to repair.I usually wear leather shoes for any situation where the uppers are going to take more abuse than the soles. Leather sucks in wet conditions but everything else is just mesh that shreds.Why is nobody creating shoes with a simple nylon/cordura fabric for the uppers?It seems like shoe manufactures expect everyone to be walking on well groomed trails.
Russell Mocassin makes a custom minimalist leather hiking shoe or boot that has reports of going 1200 miles on a pair of soles and then can be re-soled. Certainly not as lightweight, but much more durable. I have not used them myself yet, but have read good reviews on them. They are zero-drop, wide foot box and customizable for cushioning, fit and type of sole. Yes, they are expensive and won't dry out as fast as a trail runner, but maybe they would be willing to make them out of a leather and cordura combination so that they could dry faster.
I bought a pair of Lone Peaks after reading Ryan's original article and found them to be very comfortable on some of the moderate, maintained trails in Montana's Anaconda Pintlar Wilderness; however, they were absolute crap on the steep talus of the Porter Ridge approach to Warren Peak. When traversing, my foot would actually slip off the foot bed and end up half-way on the fabric of the upper; this I believe was due in large part to the lack of a stiff heel cup, and if I tried to tighten the laces to prevent my foot from sliding around, then this caused pain on the instep area. Also, because of a total lack of lateral support, crossing steep snow fields was near suicidal because it was impossible to "edge" the shoes.In short, these are great for day hikes or short overnighters on maintained trails, but a more substantial shoe is required for serious backcountry travel. In other words, be circumspect, and don't expect one shoe fulfill all the needs.Happy Trails!
>approach shoes should have no problems even when totally worn on easy slab, in fact you get better friction when the lugs wear out as theres more surface contactFriction should be proportional to the force you apply to the surface not dependent on surface area. Lugs make it a lot easier to grab small features with harder rubber.>im actually really puzzled why manufacturers dont make their trail runners more "durable" ... it wouldnt weight much more in many cases if anything ...I'm guessing it's so they can sell more shoes. They're probably trying to hit the imagined sweet spot between making people angry that their shoe has worn out too fast and proud that they've worn out a pair of shoes. A year of moderate use is probably what they're shooting for, which would probably satisfy most people. They are clearly not designed with professional outdoors-people in mind.
> "Friction should be proportional to the force you apply to the surface not dependent on surface area. Lugs make it a lot easier to grab small features with harder rubber."Just a FYI ... that's right most of the time ... however there are applications where it is not...So, surface area doesn't matter in terms of friction IF the contact surfaces DON'T deform ... ... BUT contact surface area can indeed matter, IF the contact surfaces DO deform (or there is molecular adhesion). For approach shoes whose soft rubber soles obviously deform to granite ... it is the effects of the deformation on friction, that brings the consideration of the contact surface area into the equation ... usually as a term within the coefficient of friction.
I wear Saucony Peregrines for lighter soil/sandy hikes and Five Ten Camp 4 approach shoes for smoothrock/scree/rocky trails. Seems to work out well. Dean
I hike and backpack in the Sierra, and sometimes the lower Cascade, ranges of Northern California, mostly on trail, but with some class 2 and 3 scrambling. I know shoes are a personal thing, but it's La Sportiva Wildcat's all the way for me. Don't have to worry as much about the sides blowing out because they are essentially all mesh, although it leads to a little side bruising of the feet if a person isn't careful. The soles are amazingly supportive also. If they ever discontinue that shoe I will be extremely displeased. Do you hear that La Sportiva?
Jeremy ..i climb slab all the time. Usually multipitch. In yosemite and squamish. Up to the 5.10 ish range.For climbing applications, the lugs serve no purpose, you will never see actual climbing shoes with lugs.They reduce the surface contact when smearing or edging ... Think race car tires, they have little to no tread for a reason...Companies like 5.10 know this which is why for some of their "performance" approach shoes they have flat fronts and lugs only at the back.The problem with using many trail shoes on boulders and slabs is that the friction of the rubber honestly sucks ... Im not saying you cant do it, but if you feel yourself slipping on friction slab when the rubber is flat, ie when you should have the most surface contact, then its might be time to consider some other shoeSome trail shoes such as the terroc are known to have stickyish rubber and work decently for such applications if you dont want approach shoes .... They are a bit more durable as wellIf yr depending on lugs on actual rock, something is wrong IMORock Climbing shoes have no lugs ... Heres an easy way to practice .... Find some angled smooth rock and stand in yr runners on the ball of yr foot ... Hands freeFind the angle at which the rubber fails ... Thats the point at which yr screwed ;)
I'm one who uses the Alras because nothing else really works for my feet (I've tried lots of other shoes).One shoe I just saw is the Merrell Ascend Glove. Looks like a beefed up Trail Glove. I'll probably try a pair of those next to see what I think. They are mesh so they'll have similar issues with the upper but the vibrum sole might last longer.
I had both the previous versions and recently the new 1.5. Finding the Lone Peaks ended a 5-year search for a backpacking shoe. Apart from the top of the wrap-around toe becoming unglued, actually on both versions, I have had no issues with the shoes. I have had the new versions out on several trips, from SEKI trails to Enchantments granite and have been extremely pleased with their performance. I don't carry much weight, so can't comment on additional wear from backpacking with heavy packs.
Hi Allwondering if anyone has any techniques for lightweight modifications that could enhance the long term durability of trail runners? For example, putting some kind of coating (normal super-glue?) over stiching lines to help them to repel water/increase long term strength, etc. Or glueing on some nylon patches over mesh areas that you know aren't going to last a long distance. I've considered this many times when I've bought trail runners for bushwalking in Aus. There are times when I wish I had done it, especially on the mesh toe boxes...they pour in dirt and in some bushwacking, particularly spinifex country, my toes cop a lot of abuse from spines.Maybe Ryan could try some of these things, as well as a bunch of BPL'ers, and collate experiences for an article? It seems shoes such as the Altra 1.5 are probably a very good candidate for such pre-emptive treatment; they have relatively limited durability, yet due to their other features are very popular and just keep getting bought and used over and over again and again.Probably not much that can be done DIY to reduce sole wear, but upper issues are relatively easily solved. Ryan's suggestion of drilling drainage holes for example (people have long done this for wet environments).Cheers,Adam
Aquaseal is your friend. Take your brand-new shoes and lightly coat stitch lines, the junction between the sole and upper from the midfoot forward, the edges of any rands or overlays, and an especially thin coating over both sides where the metatarsal bends will occur. Add more at wear spots as they develop.
1. seam grip every exposed stitch2. seam grip where the rubber joins the leather3. the moment you see wear on the mesh, seam grip that too4. the moment u see breaks in the rubber, shoo goo that5. take some athletic tape and put a thin layer in the heel cupand finally at a certain point ... tell yourself how silly it is to keep going through shoes this fast ... and then buy them again because they are the "best";)
There lie my Lone Peaks in the corner of the laundry room, the forefoot horribly misshapen, grips worn completely down on the lateral edges (no over-pronation support there) and yes, they suck on slippery surfaces, always have. Yet I will buy them again because I can now hike, walk or work in them all day and not feel pain. Nor have I turned my ankle since wearing them. One has to realize they were designed for running a 100 mile race, probably only once before tossing them, and not for long distance U/L hiking.Perhaps one day, the U/L hiking community will grow enough so that Altra will cater to this emerging market. Until then, thanks to those who wrote how to prolong the life of this shoe. As for slippery slopes, looks like the Lone Peaks will always have to paired with hiking sticks. GK
I've found my Lone Peaks to be quite durable. I have over 300 running miles, a 100 mile PCT backpack trip, and countless shorter hikes on them and they are still serviceable. The most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.
I am sad to report the same findings as Ryan. Best shoe I've ever used...until it's not. I did have good luck with the Torin's (the road version of the Lone Peak) They held up fairly well hiking in the Midwest and southern portions of the AT. I had no problem getting 400 miles on them there. The Latest pair of LP's made it a few hundred miles on easy stuff with no complaints- but 100 miles on the Long Trail and they were in bad shape.
• Water Absorption and Dry Time - A change was made to the upper fabric that seems to have decreased water absorption in the v1.5, and the change seems to be positive with respect to dry time. That said, v1.5 remains a pretty sloshy shoe after river crossings, due primarily to its inability to pump water out of the shoe. You'll have to upgrade your v1.5's with a few strategically drilled 1/8" diameter holes in the footbed and sole if you want to optimize water exit.Before I trash my new Lone Peak 1.5s with inappropriate 1/8" holes, would like advice from Ryan or anyone else as to where to drill "a few strategically placed 1/8" diameter holes" to optimize water exit.
is a protective rubber rand like the Inov-8 roclite series, trailroc 255 and Merrell Tuffhttp://www.inov-8.com/New/Global/Product-View-Trailroc-255-Grey-Blue.html?L=26&A=Trail&G=Malehttp://outsidetimes.com/gear/merrell-mix-master-tuff-trail-running-shoe-review-4869/I have the Lone Peak 1 and haven't bought yet version 1.5 because of this. The white piece of leather in the medial side in version 1.5 is totally useless. I am disappointed by the upper of the upcoming Lone Peak 2http://espn.go.com/espnw/athletes-life/slideshow/10583872/5/altra-lone-peak-20-120-july-2014the upper looks like a minimal road shoe and certainly not a trail. No protection at all. I love the Lone Peak for zero drop and wide toebox, but Altra should consider more protection from sharp rocks and scree around the shoe.I have tried the Trailroc 255 but i don't like the heel raise of 6mm and it also has a "flat" feel meaning that after standing or walking i had a pain in the area between the arch and the ball of my feet and also under the heel. I feel the lugs too much. So i am between the Lone Peak 1.5 and some other trail shoes that are cushioned and zero drop. Another choice is the Topo MT trailhttp://gearist.com/2014/03/07/review-mt-mountain-trainer-trail-running-shoes-topo-athletic/some have reported significant arch support and it is not very breathable, it has a yellow fabric that reaches the toebox, not letting air pass through.The upcoming Merrell Bare access trail is another option, also zero drop with cushion, and with a protective rubber rand, check here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVW0kXglw9sA very interesting article "Why trail shoes need to get randy"http://nearlyshoeless.com/2014/03/15/why-trail-shoes-need-to-get-randy/Check out this comment on altra website about the abrasion guard:http://www.altrarunning.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ReviewDisplayView?langId=-1&storeId=15151&catalogId=18952&categoryId=75503&productId=305751&reviewId=1027979
Edited by spotlight on 04/28/2014 03:40:38 MDT.
I just purchased a pair of 1.0's and out of the box they are the most comfortable shoes i have ever worn. I've worn so many types of trail runners (Salomon, Inov8, Merrell, Brooks) and i'm totally sold on the Altras already. The Inov8 TrailRoc had been my favourite, and they are fantastic backpacking shoes but the Lone Peak takes the comfort to another level. I'll be wearing them for about 10km per day of basic walking on well graded trails and will be keeping an eye on how they last. They are a little sloppy around the heel cup which doesn't seem to have any reinforcement in it - i was wondering if the 1.5 heel cup is any different from the 1.0?Overall i couldn't be happier with the Lone Peak. I don't know if it's just clever marketing by Altra but seeing so many long distance hikers (Snorkel, Lint etc) wearing Lone Peak's holds alot of weight for me. I'll be looking for 1.5's down the track and 2.0's, 2.5's... for sure!

Reviews of Mamma Teresa Italian Restaurant
StephieCoogee 1 reviewMamma Teresa Kingsford - appalling service! Ordered at 7:23pm Monday night. Was confirmed by restaurant at 7:34pm for delivery 8:33pm. 8:52pm called restaurant asking where our food was, employee responded with "we got the login late from menulog it will be there soon" - I proceeded to check our confirmation time which was 7:34pm. Called back infuriated to have just been lied to on top of ridiculously late food and was rushed off the phone. Food did not arrive till 9:08pm. 1 hour and 40 mins. A complete joke.
Emma Purce 1 reviewhad to wait over an hr to get two large pizzas delivered which is ok as its busy coz of fathers day but the pizzas came they were cold so we had to heat up in oven. pretty poor and tasteless
physiegirl Foodie 86 reviewsI had an early dinner here with 2 friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I was a little hesitant in going there as I'd heard horror stories from friends, but was pleasantly surprised. The decor appeared to have been updated since I was last there 12 months ago, and our waiter was attentive without being overbearing.
I had the spaghetti gamberi which was delicious, as was the garlic bread. Overall we were happy with the service and the food and I wouldn't hesitate going back to try it again.
I went with a group of 12 for Thur lunch. NOT a busy time and we had booked in advance. When we arrived we were the only customers. It took 35 mins for the wait staff to take our orders and another 30 mins plus for the food to start arriving. One member of the party was forgotten all together. The wait staff retook her order. After 10 mins she went to see what was happening; her veal had just been put in the pan. Considering preparation time for the simple meal it was, they must have been out killing the fatted calf or thawing out the meat. I doubt if any of us will be going back there.
Easternian Local Star 1,035 reviewsI cannot agree more than previous reviewers. This place seems to have lost its gem during renovation. The pizzas, no matter what kind, were nothing but salty. The pricing points were also a little bit too high when compared to other restaurants nearby.
The only thing worthy of stars in this restaurant was the one middle-aged italian male server who were very attentive towards everyone, including our big table of 10.
Luckily, there's this store a throw-stone away so we could grab some soft cones to wash out all the salty aftertaste.
They didn't even ask if I wanted the plate to be Entree size or Main, they just decided to bring me main. They forgot to tell me the plate was HOT, therefore i burned my fingers. I hate it when staff come to you straight away to take your order even if you've just entered, it's so stupid. Before this restaurant used to be my favourite, now it's my worst. I feel sorry for them.
I am anxiously waiting for this restaurant to reopen.
The service and the food is the best you will find in the local area.
I have tried a couple of local Italian restaurants and nothing compares to Mamma Teresa for food and service.
yes i was disappointed when it finally opened. The service was shocking they apologised for the delay due to computer problems but later when we asked has the computer been fixed they said there was nothing wrong with the computer.
yes the food was salty and the bread expensive.
i definately wont be back
