Tests for myeloma
This page tells you about tests to diagnose myeloma. You can use these links to go straight down to sections about
Tests for myeloma
You will usually see your GP first, who will examine you and ask about your general health and medical history. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, and may carry out a physical examination to look for things such as bruising, bleeding or signs of infection. They may ask you to have blood and urine tests.
At the hospital
If your doctor suspects that you may have multiple myeloma, they will arrange for you to see a blood disorders specialist (a haematologist) at your local hospital. At the hospital, the haematologist will ask about your medical history and symptoms. They will examine you and arrange some more tests. You may have blood tests, a bone marrow test, X-rays and a urine test.
You can view and print the quick guides for all the pages in the diagnosing myeloma section.
Most people go to the GP when they first suspect they have a health problem. Your doctor will examine you and ask about your general health and medical history. The doctor will also ask you about your symptoms. This will include what they are, when you get them and whether anything you do makes them better or worse.
Your doctor may give you a physical examination to look for things such as bruising, bleeding or signs of infection. You will probably be asked to have some blood tests. You may also have a urine test to look for particular proteins.
If your doctor suspects that you may have multiple myeloma, they will arrange for you to see a haematologist at your local hospital. A haematologist is a medical doctor who specialises in diseases of the blood.
At the hospital, the haematologist will ask about your medical history and symptoms. They will examine you and arrange some more tests. You may have any or all of the following tests.
There are various blood tests that help to diagnose myeloma. These include:
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- Serum protein electrophoresis
- Full blood count
- Free light chain assay (Freelite)
- Urea and electrolytes (U&E)
- Calcium level
- Beta 2 microglobulin (ß2-microglobulin)
- Albumin level
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
This test shows the doctor whether the red blood cells (erythrocytes) are sticking together, forming clumps. An abnormal ESR can be a sign of many illnesses or conditions, such as arthritis, infections and inflammation. But it can also be raised in myeloma, so an abnormal ESR may prompt your doctor to do further tests, particularly if there's no obvious reason for the ESR to be raised.
Serum protein electrophoresis
This is the main blood test to diagnose myeloma. The test is also known as immunofixation because of the way the blood is tested in the lab. It measures the type and amount of abnormal antibodies (paraproteins) in the blood. This test also monitors how well the treatment for myeloma is working.
Full blood count
Your specialist will do a full blood count to check the levels of the different types of blood cells. If any of the blood cells are abnormal, it can indicate how your bone marrow has been affected by the myeloma. The doctor will be looking out for low numbers of red blood cells or platelets. Sometimes there are low numbers of the different types of white blood cells as well.
Free light chain assay (Freelite)
A small number of people with myeloma don't have paraproteins in their blood or urine. In these people this test can help to diagnose myeloma. The Freelite test picks up tiny amounts of small proteins called free light chains.
Urea and electrolytes (U&E)
This blood test checks how well your kidneys are working.
Calcium level
Your doctor may also check your blood calcium level. The calcium level can be raised in myeloma, if the myeloma cells are in the hard outer covering of the bones.
Beta 2 microglobulin (ß2-microglobulin)
This blood test measures the level of a protein called beta 2 microglobulin. This test can help the doctor know how advanced your myeloma is.
Albumin level
Albumin is a protein in your blood that is produced by your liver. If you have myeloma your albumin level can be low.
This is sometimes called a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy. For this test, the doctor removes a sample of bone marrow cells (aspirate) to look at under the microscope. They may also remove a sample of bone (biopsy). There is detailed information about having a bone marrow test in the cancer tests section.
The bone marrow test is to see if there are any abnormal plasma cells in your bone marrow and how many there are. Your doctor may also do some tests called cytogenetics (pronounced sigh-toe gen-et-ics). These tests look for abnormalities in your chromosomes. In the laboratory, a scientist tests the cells from the bone marrow aspirate to see if there are any abnormal chromosomes. About 7 out of 10 people with myeloma (70%) have chromosome changes. Various research studies are looking into this. A few chromosome changes have been found that can affect how quickly the myeloma develops and how well treatment may work. Doctors may be able to use this information in the future to help decide which patients need more intensive treatment.
The large numbers of plasma cells being made in the bone marrow can cause damage to the hard outer covering of the bones. It will help your doctor to find this damage if you mention any bones that are painful. Your doctor will ask you to have X-rays of all your long bones, and your spine, pelvis and skull, to find any areas of damage. This is called a skeletal survey. Your doctor may also ask you to have a chest X-ray to check your general health.
The specialist will ask you for a urine sample. They will send the sample off to the lab, where a pathologist checks for the abnormal antibodies made by the cancerous plasma cells in multiple myeloma. Antibodies are proteins. Doctors call the abnormal antibodies 'monoclonal immunoglobulins' or paraproteins. Different types of myeloma make different paraproteins. One part of the paraprotein is the Bence Jones protein, which the body gets rid of in the urine. About 3 out of 4 people (75%) with malignant myeloma have Bence Jones protein in their urine.
These protein molecules can damage the kidneys as they pass through them from the blood to the urine. Your doctor will check the levels of creatinine in your blood. Creatinine is another chemical that is removed from the body by your kidneys. If the levels of creatinine in your blood are high, this may mean your kidneys are not working properly.
Your nurse will probably ask you to collect all the urine you pass for 24 hours. This is the best way of finding out how much Bence Jones protein you are producing and also how well your kidneys are working.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - To serve in the U.S. military, you don't have to be an American Citizen, but earning that title is encouraged and celebrated. The Arkansas National Guard honored six soldiers who did just that, Tuesday.
"Actually one of my best friends is getting his citizenship with me," says Specialist Hong Seo who is now a U.S Citizen.
I've always considered myself an American," says Seo. "I moved here from South Korea when I was three."
The immigration law changed in 2010 allowing military members to apply for U.S. Citizenship on the first day of basic training. They receive their citizenship as long as they complete their basic training.
Seo's best friend Specialist Bryan Cerrato was born in Panama and he says becoming a U.S citizen will allow him to enter into flight school.
"A U.S. citizenship offers clearances and stuff and go to different schools," says Cerrato.
The six soldiers' roots extend from Panama, Mexico, Jamaica and South Korea.
"These men and women epitomize what America is all about. Freedom, democracy and excellence," says Maj. Gen. William Woffard.
They demonstrated their commitment not only by joining the military, but making another important step of becoming an American.
The naturalization process normally takes several years and can cost up to $700. The military speeds up the process and the fees are waived.
Camp Joseph T. Robinson will host the Citizenship Recognition Ceremony at 1:00 p.m. The guardsmen who will become citizens are:

PirateFest turns into lovefest
Pirates/MLB Videos
Making the playoffs this year did more for the Pirates than snap a long losing skid and put more money in the coffers. It also made the annual PirateFest a lot warmer and fuzzier.
In previous years, the event's "Ask Pirates Management" segment has been marked by pointed questions and even angry outbursts by fans. This year was different.
About a dozen season-ticket holders Saturday morning gave general manager Neal Huntington and president Frank Coonelly a standing ovation at the start of the hourlong Q&A session. Many of the questions began with expressions of gratitude for this past season, when the Pirates won 94 games and made the playoffs for the first time since 1992.
"We are not the homecoming opponent on anyone's schedule anymore," manager Clint Hurdle said, which cued loud applause.
Still, there was tension in the room when a fan asked about the 2014 player payroll.
Coonelly noted that the club has increased payroll by about $10 million in each of the past three seasons. The figure has gone from $34.9 million in 2010 to $75 million in 2013.
For the 2014 season, Coonelly said the cash allocated for salaries would "go up in a similar way as in the past few years."
The mood got a bit testy — at one point, Coonelly and the fan began interrupting each other — when the fan asked if payroll would be even higher if the Pirates had a more lucrative local TV contract.
Neither the Pirates nor Root Sports has revealed the yearly or total values of their 10-year deal, which expires in 2019. A Tribune-Review investigation found the team received about $18 million from Root in 2012. This past October, Bloomberg reported the Pirates ranked 28th among the 30 major league clubs by generating $56 million via local and national media rights.
"Those numbers are incorrect," Coonelly said, without providing specific data. "Our TV contract places us in the top half of baseball. We are well-positioned moving forward."
At the recently completed MLB Winter Meetings, the Pirates re-signed shortstop Clint Barmes for $2 million and right-hander Edinson Volquez for $5 million. Huntington still is seeking a first baseman — although the free agent market is depleted at this point — and continues to wait for A.J. Burnett to say whether he wants to pitch in 2014.
"It's completely on A.J. right now," Huntington said. "We've worked hard with him ... and we're still waiting."
Money could be part of the reason for Burnett's continued silence. The Pirates refused to make him a $14 million qualifying offer and seem inclined to offer no more than $10 million. Burnett made $16.5 million this past season.
Huntington confirmed the Pirates were bidders for free agent first baseman James Loney, who on Friday agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal with the Tampa Bay Rays. In this case, the length of contract was a sticking point. The Pirates weren't comfortable going beyond a two-year offer.
"We just haven't found the right trade or free agent opportunity yet," Huntington said.
Notes: Huntington indicated free agent Kendrys Morales is not an option, as Morales has limited experience at first base. Also, signing him would cost the Pirates a draft pick because the Seattle Mariners made Morales a qualifying offer. ... What about moving Pedro Alvarez across the diamond? "It's been talked about," Huntington said. "But it's not easy to replace Pedro at third base. Our best spot might be to leave him there." ... PirateFest will run from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

North Allegheny competitive spirit squad takes second place at championships
Usually, when about half of the roster consists of freshmen and sophomores, a team is in a rebuilding year.
That's not the case for North Allegheny's varsity competitive cheering squad, which for the second consecutive year placed second in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association's competitive spirit championships.
It also was the first year that head coach Courtenay Carrel allowed freshmen to try out for the varsity team.
"I think it was pretty easy to have them adjust to the squad," senior Alyssa Warth said.
"They are all very talented and nice, so I don't think it made too much of a difference, compared to previous years. I think their experience will help future squads."
This was the second year the PIAA had the cheerleading competition. Last month, the NA cheerleaders competed against 43 other squads in the state's Medium Varsity Division for squads that had between 16 to 20 athletes. North Allegheny had 20 girls compete.
While they scored 82.23 points to qualify for the state finals, they scored only 80.6 points in the last round. They finished 2.53 points behind the state champion, Bishop McCourt High School, a Catholic school in Johnstown.
"Having WPIAL- and state-championship competitions is a great experience, especially to prepare our younger girls for nationals," said Warth, 17, of Marshall Township. "It's nice to finally be recognized as a sport and to have our own championship to go after."
Each squad was judged in six categories: cheering, stunting, tumbling, jumps, dance and pyramids. Within each category, judges scored teams for difficulty and execution.
North Allegheny cheerleaders also competed in the Universal Cheerleaders Association National Championship in Orlando, Fla., on Feb. 8 and 9.
Based on roster size and school enrollment, North Allegheny cheerleaders competed in the UCA's Large Varsity Division I category, where they have been finalists in five of the last nine years. The highest North Allegheny ever placed in nationals was fifth in 2009.
While the North Allegheny cheerleaders' goal was to finish in the top 10 nationally, they finished in 17th place, just two spots shy of being finalists for the national title.
"I don't think we were too bothered by just missing finals because I think we were more excited and proud to hit the routine so well with the difficulty that it had," said senior Maria Fuhrman, 18, of McCandless.
Each squad's routine at nationals could have lasted up to two minutes, 30 seconds.
While up to one minute, 30 seconds of the routine could have been dedicated to a musical number, up to another minute could have been devoted to at least one cheer.
"They have a lot of talent going into next year, and I think this year's results excited everyone a lot, and they'll work 150 percent harder to keep improving," Fuhrman said.

Pella, Winterset Meet in Class 4A Regional Semifinals
Posted By Sports On July 13, 2013 @ 6:00 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Pella High's softball team seems to be playing their best ball at the right time. They beat Oskaloosa by one run on Monday, defeated Knoxville on Thursday to advance to the Class 4A regional semifinals, and they'll play that game tonight in Winterset against the Huskies. Winterset enters play with a 31 – 8 record, and are winners of five of their last six games. Runs look like they will come at a premium in tonight's game; the Huskies have only allowed one opponent all season to score more than five runs against them and are expected to throw their senior ace, Karly Olson against the Lady Dutch. Pella will be countering with freshman Elyse Sadler, and Coach Krista DeMeuelenaere talked about the game plan for her young hurler against a dangerous Huskies line-up. You can hear tonight's semifinal contest live on 92.1 KRLS and streamed live at KNIAKRLS.com with Cory Houser on the play-by-play. Pregame starts at 6:45 p.m. with first pitch scheduled for seven. Because of the postseason softball contest, live coverage of the races at the Knoxville Raceway will start on AM 1320 KNIA and will move to the FM side at the conclusion of the game.

The Equipment Evaluations for the 2016 Olympic Sailing Competition is taking place in Santander, Spain from 17-25 March. Sailors, manufacturer boats, skiffs, multihulls and kiteboarders took to the water outside the channel for the second day running.
Lighthouse (day 7) - 2016 Equipment Evaluations
2016 Equipment Trials Day 6:
Racing took place in both the skiff and multihulls allowing sailors a chance to push themselves and their boats further than they had done so over the previous days of trials.
The day gave the ISAF Evaluation Panel an opportunity to see the boats in trickier conditions and lots would have been learnt by not only the panel, but observers, sailors, media and manufacturers.
At the close of the day the Viper Team presented their case in front of the panel. All of the manufacturers have explained why they think their boat should be selected for the Rio 2016 Olympic Sailing Competition and the presentations and question and answer session has allowed the panel to get down to some finer details.
Just two days of trials remain for the skiff and multihulls so hopefully we will see some more action in Santander Bay before reports and decisions are made.
The kiteboarders had a productive day on the water with new courses trialled. Having a mix kites, multihulls and skiffs within Santander Bay today was a pleasure to watch and we will try and get some kiteboarding footage up in due course.
Aura on day 7 - 2016 Equipment Evaluations
Arupa skipp on day 7 - 2016 Equipment Evaluations
Day Two Kiteboarding Report Courtesy Of IKA:
With the sunshine and warm temperatures the wind arrived as well at the second day of the ISAF kiteboarding format trials in Santander, Spain. After the morning briefing, the whole kiteboarding fleet headed over to Playa Sardinero the prepare their equipment and to be ready as soon as the wind kicks in.
Unfortunately it took until 13:00 before the wind stabilized in direction and strength to allow a course to be set. The race committee announced to firstly go for two standard windward/leeward course races to have a baseline before testing all the new course options on the agenda.
Both races went underway in light conditions between six and nine knots on a two lap course with a leeward gate to give everybody an idea of today's kiteboard course racing abilities. Then the race committee quickly changed the course to a standard downwind slalom with a reaching start – in the meantime the sailors headed out to the race courses of the multihull and skiff evaluations to race these nice new boats. Coaches and spectators were impressed on the board speeds and upwind angles of the kiteboard sailors.
A full round of Slalom went underway then with the reaching starts proving to be tricky, but a lot of action on the gybing marks and also some crashes and tangles.
In the later afternoon the whole fleet and the ISAF staff headed back to the CEAR sailing center then to get feedback from the sailors on the formats tested today and different options that could be taken into consideration.
Tomorrow will see the evaluation of the two new racing formats short track and enduro in different configurations. After the feedback from the sailors the evaluation panel will then look into further testing of the most successful formats.
In general we receive overwhelming interest here, not only on the land were some of our sailors showcased their equipment in the morning to the multihull and skiff sailors as well as coaches and MNA reps, but also on the water were the kiteboarding races draw a lot of interest from the supporting boats for the multihull and skiff evaluations.
Racing continues tomorrow with a good forecast for the whole day which should allow to finish the first step of the trials and then investigate further racing and scoring options.
The ISAF kiteboarding format trials will end on Sunday March 25, and the ISAF evaluation panel will then prepare a report to the ISAF midyear conference in Stresa, Italy.

Here's my two cents (and several paragraphs) on The Mars Volta breakup.
The blogosphere has been atwitter (as has the Twitterverse) with the news that TMV has broken up, or at least lost its lead singer.
That news broke late Wednesday in a series of tweets by singer Cedric Bixler Zavala proclaiming he was walking away from the band he started nearly 12 years ago with longtime friend, creative partner and fellow El Paso product Omar Rodriguez Lopez.
Of course, we've only heard Cedric's side of it in tweets that announced his departure, complaining about Omar's apparent disinterest in TMV, particularly Cedric's desire to follow up last year's European tour in support of the superb "Noctourniquet" album with a string of North American shows.
Much as I would have loved to have seen the band on a hometown stage this year, it doesn't sound like it's going to happen.
Unlike some fans, I wasn't devastated by these developments. I'm certainly not going to take sides. If the breakup is for real, it's very possible it won't be permanent. Both Omar and Cedric showed they can re-embrace their past, and old friends, when they took part in the 2012 reunion of the El Paso band that put them on the map, At the Drive-In. They can do it again.
If not, we'll live. They've had quite a run, with six albums that wildly explored the far reaches of what rock, Latin and dub music could do in one band, built a coveted reputation as one of rock's truly great live bands and even won a Grammy Award, if you care about such things.
When you look at the prolific and prodigious output of Mr. Rodriguez Lopez, is it any surprise that he doesn't have a full-time allegiance to one entity? He's released more solo albums than you can count on all your fingers and toes. He's made movies, including "The Sentimental Engine Slayer," which just came out on DVD.
He's making another one, "Nino y La Esperanza," now in El Paso, where he has family and to which he returned from Los Angeles about a year ago.
He's played with other bands, including a run of shows last year with Mexico's Le Butcherettes, which provided one of the highlights of last year's Neon Desert Music Festival in Downtown El Paso.
He's currently into a new band, Bosnian Rainbows, which includes the Butcherettes' uninhibited lead singer, Teri Gender Bender. They're a group of songwriters, not a group dominated by one songwriter, that started playing shows in Europe last year, cutting their debut album (due in May) in Germany. They have a string of U.S. dates coming up next month.
For all I know, the guy also paints and likes to knit. He's got a split aesthetic personality.
He also lost his mother late in 2011, which clearly affected his performances with At the Drive-In, at least the one at Tricky Falls. Her prolonged illness before that may have factored into his move home and willingness to mend old fences, thus the ATDI reunion, which many observers never thought would happen.
He's even left the door open to resuming that at some point.
But he may have broken something with one of his oldest friends and longest-running creative partners. There's more to this, I think, than Cedric's simple frustration about The Mars Volta's grounding.
Rock music history has taught us time and again that bands that break up and swear they'll never get back together have a tendency to change their minds. Sometimes it's about money. Sometimes it's about righting past wrongs. The Beatles are one of the few who actually stuck to it.
I sure got the sense that Cedric, who has been working on a solo album of his own, was pretty peeved about his inability to persuade Omar to take Mars Volta back out on the road this year. His frustration is understandable. It's a great band, and he's the perfect singer and frontman for that band. I'm sure the paychecks weren't bad either.
I say give it time. Let cooler heads prevail. Let Omar do his thing. He's going to anyway. I suspect he'll want that creative outlet when the muse tells him it's time. Hopefully, Cedric will be ready, willing and able when, or if, that time comes.
If they regroup, great. There's no limit to what these guys can do together. If it's not to be, then let's move on.
Who knows? Cedric may have some great music in him just busting to come out.

Somin in Houston Chronicle: Judge's Ethical Problems Justify Congressional Attention
Commenting on the recent reprimand of U.S. District Judge Samuel B. Kent of the 5th Circuit, Professor Ilya Somin told the Houston Chronicle that Kent's "long history of ethical problems" was significant enough to warrant Congressional inquiry, echoing the concerns expressed by members of Congress, organization presidents, and other law professors, some of whom are calling for the House Judiciary Committee to investigate possible impeachment of Kent.
Somin, who clerked at the 5th Circuit, pointed out that federal judges have limited ability to discipline a colleague and can do so only through reprimands and reassignment of cases, both of which Kent has experienced over the past six years.
Kent's most recent reprimand over charges of sexual harassment has caused concern over his ability to preside over such cases in the future.
Could Kent lose his bench? Houston Chronicle via Chron.com, October 7, 2007. By Lise Olsen and Harvey Rice.

BULL SPEC #1 will be available at…Posted: 9 January, 2010 Filed under: announcements 2 Comments
At least three fine local bookstores, and of course online where some pre-orders have indeed started to trickle in. Thanks very much for those, it is deeply appreciated.
First up was The Regulator Bookshop on 9th Street in Durham. They've been my local bookstore for almost 10 years now, and were very enthusiastic and supportive of carrying the magazine. So enthusiastic that we're trying to work out a date for the BULL SPEC #1 launch party there in early February! I'm glad to be able to say (after having a nice meeting with them) that some folks from Durham Literacy will be there as all BULL SPEC proceeds from sales at the launch party are going to them and I really hope it will be a fun event, with readings from some of our local narrators and translators, maybe some other fun in the works. More to come on that in the coming weeks to be sure.
Then a very happy New Years Eve bit of news for me was hearing back from the excellent Quail Ridge Books & Music in Raleigh that they'd love to find me some shelf space as well, and yesterday I found out that I'll also have a place to call "home" in Chapel Hill in the form of Internationalist Books on West Franklin Street.
Thanks very much to the folks at these great local bookstores for, sight unseen, being so supportive and positive about carrying BULL SPEC. It's very much appreciated and I'm still feeling the warm fuzzies from the well wishes.
2 Comments on "BULL SPEC #1 will be available at…"
Congrats! What's the expected launch date of Bull Spec? Looking forward to it! I'll definitely be distributing links like they were confetti. ;)
Thanks! I'd hoped to have printed magazines in stores (and the website launched) on 31 January, and still might make that. More than likely it'll slip a week, have to see how layout goes over the next 10 days or so.

Dr . Gaber dsoukyIntroduction
The Egyptian Electricity Authority, (EEA) was established under Law No. 12 in 1976. At that time, EEA was granted the exclusive right to produce, transmit, and distribute electric power throughout Egypt. During 1983, the distribution activities were separated from EEA and gathered into a new authority called the Public Sector Authority for Electric Power Distribution, under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Electricity & Energy (MOEE). During 1984, through a modification of Law No.12, Law No.36 of the year 1998 eliminated EEA's "exclusive right" for power generation. In 1991, under Law No. 203, the Electric Distribution Companies (EDC's) were transferred from the MOEE to the " Holding Company for Construction and Electric Power Distribution", under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Enterprises Sector, a new Ministry created for preparation of the public sector companies to privatization.
During June 1996, Law No. 12 was modified again by the Law No. l00 for permitting the private sector to Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (BOOT) electric power generating plants. Accordingly, a private developer sells the electricity to in bulk to the EEA for twenty years and, at the end of the operating period, the private developer transfers the assets of the facility to EEA.
In 1998 the Law No.18 (another modification for the Law No. 12 of the year 1976) was issued to transfer the distribution companies to EEA. Under this law, EEA's seven geographic generation zones were vertically merged with the eight distribution companies for creating seven companies responsible for both generation and distribution. Transmission, dispatching, planning for new generation and transmission projects, and the purchase of the electricity produced by the BOOT projects were continued to be the direct responsibility of EEA.
During July 2000, a new Law No. 164 (a recent modification for the Law No.12 of the year l976) was issued to change the Egyptian Electricity Authority (EEA) into an Egyptian jointstock (holding) company under the name of the "Egyptian Electricity Holding Company" (EEHC).
since July 2001, a series of restructuring steps took place for the affiliated companies, it started by unbundling of the generation, transmission and distribution activities and form thirteen companies (five production, one transmission and seven distribution) and due to the high growth rate of the number of power plants, network expansion and customer service centers, further unbundling took place.
During July 2002 , the Delta Company for Electric Power Distribution was displited into two separate companies : the North Delta Company for Electric Power Distribution and the South Delta Company for Electric Power Distribution, hence the distribution companies became eight companies instead of seven.
During November 2004, the Cairo company for electric power distribution was displited into two seperate companies
the Cairo north company for electric power distribution and the Cairo south company for electric power distribution hence the distribution companies became nine companies instead of eight.
Now EEHC has sixteen affiliated companies (six production, nine distribution and the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company).
EEHC coordinates between the companies as an Integrated Economic Unit that can afford to provide a self financing portion for its future plans.
During the last two Fiscal Years 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 EEHC faced an unexpected high increase in peak demand.

Which tent would be the lightest acceptable for a canoe trip in northern Canada -- north of the tree line? The issues I see are: * bugs * high winds that can last for days * for various reasons will get pitched on places like a gravel bar or even exposed granite.I cannot see waiting out a multiple-day storm in a bivy sack. I've never been there, but from the pictures of trips that do go there it looks like the tent would probably need to be free-standing.The traditional solution is a multiple-pounds expedition-rated free-standing dome tent. I'd like to see how much that weight can be (safely) cut.--MV
It's not freestanding, but I would consider a Hilleberg Kaitum. The huge dual vestibules make it a very livable tent. See the review here on BPL.
"High winds that can last for days."Never camped in the Arctic, but just that alone will eliminate UL tarptents for me -- not just for structural reasons (some of Henry's newer designs can withstand pretty good blows) -- but also to minimize constant draft blowing across my face all through the night.Maybe a Hilleberg Soulo?
+1 for Hilleberg. I spent two months in the summer of 2005 in a Hilleberg Saivo canoeing from Hudson Bay. Absolutely bombproof and the best tent I have ever been in.www.hudsonbayexpedition.com
When the 1983 American expedition on Mount Everest was preparing to go up the west ridge, they knew that high wind would be a problem, so they had custom tents designed to withstand 140 mph wind. When they got up on the west ridge, 15 out of 18 of those tents were destroyed by wind.Kind of scary, isn't it? It was even very windy down at base camp on the Nepal side.--B.G.--
I bought my Unna from Peter Vacco, veteran Arctic trekker (and occasional BGT contributor). It not only looks like new (almost), it's taken several more years of hard Rockies weather. Great tent, and it's made me an enthusiastic Hilleberg supporter.
"The traditional solution is a multiple-pounds expedition-rated free-standing dome tent. I'd like to see how much that weight can be (safely) cut."The Integral Designs Mark 1, or Mark 1 XL if you are tall, are both very wind resistant free standing tents. They were originally designed for high altitude mountaineering.The Mark 1 weighs ~ 3# 12 oz and the XL is somewhere around 4# 10 oz. I used a Mark 1 for years. Great tent. Only downside is no vestibule.
For SAFETY I'd get a Hilleberg tent, either dome or tunnel W/ 2 vestibules.
We've used pyramid tents in the high Canadian arctic, Baffin and Greenland. The design has also been used on polar trips. I think you would be fine with some tie outs on the side for extra stability and a bug bivy or hanging net for the no-see-ums. Rocks for securing the pyramid will be in great supply, and you can use your canoe paddles joined together with velcro as the center pole. I don't think really need a stand alone tent. Our Oware 9x9 weighs 26 ounces. Take a look at the Arctic 1000 trip report somewhere on BPL and www.groundtruthtrekking.org for what a pyramid can withstand.This in more docile climes here in Southeast Alaska.

It brought home the unrelenting force of the wind and filled me with fear for the poor devils waiting out the storm inside the tent. Any thought of sleeping with that going on would be futile. How the tent withstood it all is amazing.
Bring back the Whillans Box Tent.Not exactly ultralight.--B.G.--
May I offer:Australian-made Antarctic expedition tent currently in use.Guy ropes are (I believe) 6 mm. Corner poles are (I believe) 60 mm.Cheers

+1 to Roger. I was waiting for that photo to come up (again).
"Corner poles are (I believe) 60 mm."Sounds like scaffolding tube. :-)
That ain't silnylon!
Thread drift -David, is your avatar Papago?
Greg - no, it's actually a tidal cliff off the coast of Vancouver Island. Things got very interesting after I got down.
Thanks David. Just wondering. Glad you survived.Drift Over.
hilleberg ftw
I used a Tarptent Squall on my Alaska Traverse, and it worked fine. I tend to avoid exposed gravel bars when possible. In windy country the wind can slam some lightweight shelters too hard if set up on open gravel bars. Usually I was setting up in spots with good drainage and protected by willows. A thick stand of willows or a cutbank upwind makes a huge difference with wind. If I had to leave soon on such a trip, I'd probably bring my Lunar Solo. If you must set up in exposed places, you'll probably want a beefier shelter. You'll definitely want a screened shelter in either case.

BlackBerry shares are zooming close to 8% higher in pre-market action after the Defense Department said its handsets will make up 98% of devices in a new mobile program.

WEST GREENWICH - The Exeter West Greenwich School Committee voted to approve the Hockey Co-Op team last Tuesday night, joining EWG High School and West Warwick High School as a team.
With the West Warwick school committee also approving the team, the EWG committee voted to approve with Member Robert Bollengier dissenting. Bollengier pointed out that the approved language from the West Warwick school committee doesnŌĆÖt definitively state that the EWG school district will have no financial responsibility for the co-op team.
Superintendent Thomas Geismar and the school committee honored the girlsŌĆÖ soccer team for winning the state championship. Along with Coach Kevin Fraser, Geismar and Chairperson Susan DeSack presented each player with an award of recognition and a gift card.
Geismar and the committee also honored the departing school committee members, marking Tuesday as their last meeting. Chairperson DeSack, Member Bollengier and Member Mary Walsh were honored with awards of recognition. Geismar, Director of Administration Robert Ross, and the other committee members took some time to share memories and show appreciation for the departing members.
ŌĆ£Being chairperson is the toughest job,ŌĆØ Geismar said in regard to Desack. ŌĆ£During her six years as chair, no matter how busy, [DeSack] always made time to talk school issues and to offer guidance.ŌĆØ
He also pointed out the DeSack took part in many projects in the district over her eight years as a member, including the administration building and the new track.
Of Member Walsh, Geismar point out the she is ŌĆ£tenacious when standing up for her beliefsŌĆ"when she speaks you better listen.ŌĆØ
Geismar also spoke of BollengierŌĆÖs commitment to the district; ŌĆ£there was no committee he was not willing to work on. He has a great attitude.ŌĆØ
The last school committee meeting of the year will be Tuesday, December 7, at 6 pm.

The Gadget Gurus, the Subcontinent's answer to The Engadget Show, got a special hands-on with that $35 Tablet PC the world's been buzzing about -- delivered by none other than India's Human Resource Development Minister, Kapil Sibal himself. While constantly referring to "the $35 laptop" (we guess you could hold it in your lap) Mr. Sibal gave us the following info: it sports 2GB RAM, WiFI and 3G, microSD storage, and it runs the Android OS. Additionally, it rocks video out and a webcam -- in short, it's an Android tablet. Don't expect to see this bad boy hit retail channels soon: the government plans on making it available to students and universities in mid-2011, with no plans yet for sales to the general public. To watch the man himself (as well as some wild and wonderful Indian television) check out the video after the break -- fast-forward two and a half minutes to get to the main attraction.

University of Florida head coach Will Muschamp realizes the third season is the most critical to his future.
- Filed Under
In the Southeastern Conference, three is a very important number - maybe the most important of all. There are four new head coaches in the league this year. The number three had a lot to do with that.
Auburn's Gene Chizik won a national title in 2010. In his third year, the Tigers slumped to eight wins. Then the wheels came off and he's gone.
Tennessee's Derek Dooley never found success with the Volunteers and was fired ... after his third season in 2012. The same holds true for Kentucky's Joker Phillips, now Florida's wide receivers coach after a failed third season last fall leading the Wildcats' ...

Besides, you'll have a lot of places before Arad that are highly "photogenic" to burn some film in, so why build the journey around the destination?

Logan Elm trailed Chillicothe for most of the first three quarters Monday night, and the Braves found themselves down eight entering the final quarter. In the fourth, their senior leadership and experience showed up to the tune of a 20-7, fourth-quarter run en route to a 45-40 victory against the Cavaliers.
