Sustainability report shows progress
August 13, 2013
Goal to reduce carbon footprint experiences setback
Issaquah has shown positive results moving toward sustainability, for the most part.
The city's Office of Sustainability released its 2013 report July 26, revealing a host of data on a variety of factors. Community heath, business diversity and environmental impact were among the many measured components for the year-old department to assess where the city stands on the many goals outlined to realize a vision of sustainability in the local economy, society and environment. While most of the areas evaluated show positive development, one of the most notable exceptions is the increase in the city's carbon emissions.
The report is the continuation of an effort began in 2008 by the Mayor Ava Frisinger-led Sustainability Sounding Board, which compiled the vision and indicators to define the future health and quality of life for Issaquah.
Issaquah sustainability 'report card' indicates successes, shortfalls
September 7, 2010
The inaugural sustainability "report card" from the city touted Costco carpools, a community garden and affordable-housing construction in the Issaquah Highlands as signs of progress.
The report released last week packs data about environmental, economic and social health.
The "report card" is based upon recommendations from a 16-member panel assembled in 2008 by Mayor Ava Frisinger. The group, the Sustainability Sounding Board, formed a long-term sustainability plan and then set benchmarks for the city to track progress.
Board unveils sustainability recommendations for city
May 26, 2009
NEW — 6 a.m. May 26, 2009
The Sustainability Sounding Board, a group of community leaders appointed by Mayor Ava Frisinger, recently unveiled its long-term vision for a sustainable Issaquah, as well as recommendations for how the community can begin to measure its progress toward that goal.
In late 2008, Frisinger created the board, which includes 16 citizens and representatives from social service organizations, businesses and the environmental community. The board members met four times to develop its final report for the mayor, which will be presented to the City Council during its Committee-of-the-Whole meeting tonight.
Closings, cancellations announced because of forecast
December 17, 2008
UPDATED — 2:45 a.m. Dec. 17, 2008
Forecasts are predicting snow for Issaquah today.
The city of Issaquah's Public Works Operations team has pretreated many roads in the city — including those located in the higher elevations and along major routes — with anti-icing material.
Officials are warning drivers to prepare for winter driving conditions.
The city of Issaquah now has a new Web page dedicated to local winter weather information. Read more
City's citizen panel gets a handle on sustainability
December 15, 2008
Sustainability is the buzzword of the year, but really, how do you measure it? A diverse panel of 16 citizens is trying to answer the question.
Called the Sustainability Sounding Board, the group was convened this fall and has met three times. It meets again Dec. 17 to finish its concept of sustainability and how to measure it. Read more

Note from Heather: This is a guest post from Jenni at The Urban Poser– one of my favorite bloggers! Back when we lived in Texas she'd stop by sometimes with a sample from her kitchen . . . oh my can this girl cook! Thank you Jenni, for posting at Mommypotamus today!
Oven Dried Tomatoes . . .
Just might be the simplest thing you'll ever make. But "simple" doesn't have to mean boring, flavorless or dull! The smell of these savory little morsels alone will transform your kitchen into a charming little villa on the Italian seaside.
The best part about "OVEN" dried tomatoes is that you don't have to own a fancy dehydrator to make them (which would work just as brilliantly, btw). All you have to do is turn the oven on to it's lowest setting and leave the tomatoes there for a few hours and Viola! It's like you stepped through the '"wardrobe", only instead stepping into Narnia, you find your self sipping wine on the shores of Italy. (wine sold separately)
My favorite . . .
And also the least "fussy" variety of tomato to make "oven dried", is sweet ripe cherry tomatoes. Not only do I love them because you don't have to do any seed scooping, but also because the finished product is both savory and wonderfully sweet at the same time. They're also the perfect size for throwing into salads, adding to tarts, pizzas and best of all, they're perfect for just popping straight into your mouth!
Tomato season is just around the corner, so now is a great time to take advantage of this wonderful way to enjoy and preserve tomatoes. You can even try drying them in the sun… it sure gets hot enough for it here in Texas! (Hint: if you do this, try covering them with one of those mesh picnic food covers to keep the critters out.)
If you've never made oven dried tomatoes before, then you're in for a REAL treat. And if you have….well, you're still in for a real treat. Enjoy!
Oven Dried Tomatoes With Olive Oil, Salt & Pepper
- Cherry tomatoes
- Olive Oil, or oil of choice (I use about 1-2 tablespoons per pint)
- Coarse sea salt to taste
- Cracked pepper to taste
- Various Herbs (optional)
- Preheat oven on it's lowest setting
- Wash and pat dry the tomatoes
- Slice each tomato in half
- In a bowl, toss the tomatoes with the appropriate amount of olive oil (or oil of choice), salt & pepper
- Place the tomatoes, cut side up on a parchment paper lined baking sheet
- Place in preheated oven and allow to "dry" there for about 4 hours.
You want the tomatoes to still be soft, not wet, but not super dry either. You can't really go wrong though. They taste great no matter what you do. Sometimes after a few hours, I turn the oven off and leave them there to dry out some more. Depends how I want to use them.
Store in an airtight container. I keep mine refrigerated.

I love doing this! It really concentrates that awesome tangy tomato-y flavor. Not mention how great it makes the kitchen smell!
Mmmm, yum! Can't wait to try this out!
Mmmm yummy! Will bookmark this idea for when my CSA overflows with tomatoes later this summer.
I'm making these tomorrow with the crazy amounts of cherry tomatoes from my garden! I was wondering how long they will keep for, and if they keep for longer packed in oil?
[…] How to make zesty oven dried tomatoes […]
Making these now….I'm sure I'll love them but I'll try to remember to come back here to post an update. Just wanted to drop in and tell you that my 6 and 4 year old did ALL the prep for these babies…the only time I helped was to put them in the oven. I bought them some "Curious Chef" knives for Christmas and they cut tomatoes easily. (Of course not as easily as my Henckels, but relatively good!) The knives are plastic (I think) and totally safe. My 6-year-old cut and 4-year-old arranged the tomatoes "seed side up". I know you like to work with your kids in the kitchen so wanted to offer that tip.
So blessed by a temperate Texas June that has provided us with TONS of spring tomatoes! You guys endured the TORTUOUS last summer, and missed this pleasant one (so far)! I'm sure you are enjoying TN though.
Very yummy! I'm having trouble restraining myself from eating the whole batch. This recipe might just have me planting 3x as many tomato plants in the fall.
…..and I did eat the whole batch.
…..and I did eat the whole batch.
…..and I did eat the whole batch.
Haha, Sunny Britting Espanet! I just picked up 20 lbs of tomatoes to make thanks to your inspiration
ooooooo….have fun! Also, Dr. Cindy had a tomato sauce recipe on her blog that is INCREDIBLE. Roasted garlic, tomatoes, basil or oregano, and olive oil, I think. Roast the veggies then puree. Out of this world yummy. I'm not sure how you feel about roasting olive oil, though. (I don't necessarily LIKE it, but I know how good this tastes, so I'm not willing to change it.
Sometimes I drink it straight. No kidding. But sometimes I actually use it as tomato sauce….very yummy in cabbage lasagna. Also yummy with added cream and parmesan to make tomato basil soup. And one time I made a vegan tomato basil soup with cashews. Yummy too. Or roast onions with it and nix the herbs, then add chicken broth for Tortilla Soup. Love it when one recipe is so versatile.
I have a TON of dried tomatoes from my garden last year. Any ideas on how to rehydrate them? I tried soaking them in olive oil and it didn't do anything. I would love to soften them up to make with eggs.
I tried the oven, my lowest setting 170 degrees had them in oven a good four hours, and still was wet, transferred to the dehydrator this morning and while at 8 hours of work, I came home , tomatoes are soft but not wet. Are they ready for storage?
Can these be processed down to tomato powder?

Hematometra presenting as an acute abdomen in a 13-year-old postmenarchal girl: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports 2012, 6:419 doi:10.1186/1752-1947-6-419Published: 12 December 2012
Most underlying diseases for abdominal pain in children are not dangerous. However some require rapid diagnosis and treatment, such as acute ovarian torsion or appendicitis. Since reaching a diagnosis can be difficult, and delayed treatment of potentially dangerous diseases might have significant consequences, exploratory laparoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic option for patients who have unclear and potentially hazardous abdominal diseases. Here we describe a case where the anomaly could not be identified using a laparoscopy in an adolescent girl with acute abdomen.
Case presentation
A 13-year old postmenarchal caucasian female presented with an acute abdomen. Emergency sonography could not exclude ovarian torsion. Accurate diagnosis and treatment were achieved only after an initial laparoscopy followed by a laparotomy and after a magnetic resonance imaging scan a further laparotomy. The underlying disease was hematometra of the right uterine horn in a uterus didelphys in conjunction with an imperforate right cervix.
This report demonstrates that the usual approach for patients with acute abdominal pain may not be sufficient in emergency situations.

Introduction | FEMA Photographs
During the winter of 1996-1997, eastern North Dakota experienced heavy snowfalls and deep cold. Early in April, the eighth blizzard of the season, nicknamed Hannah by the Grand Forks Herald, struck, paralyzing the state and bringing deep cold once again to the Red River Valley.
On April 18, 1997, the Red, reaching a crest of 54.35 feet, breached the dikes at Grand Forks flooding the city, destroying the water plant, and starting an electrical fire that gutted the downtown business district.

photographing FOOD: I'm Lovin' It
Over the past four+ years of blogging, I've developed an addiction to food photography.
I've had a passion for photography for as long as I can remember, and blogging introduced me to food photography and I was hooked from the first click. I love the styling, the props, the mood, the lighting……it all gets me excited. I've swooned over food photography on other blogs, websites, magazines, ads…any where I spot a food photo. I've taken thousands of shots of food over the years trying to get similar results. Sometimes I'm excited and can't believe I got "that" shot, other times I get frustrated and can't figure why it wasn't working that time.
The funny thing about photography is there is no "magic formula" to learn. Yes, you need to understand light, f-stops, shutter speed and ISO…….but there's no one perfect equation that works every time. Not with natural light photography anyway. Then throw food styling into the mix and OMG, there's SO much to learn!
So needless to say, I LOVE to immerse myself into the subject with anyone who will talk about it with me, and I always have my eye peeled for books and online tips and tutorials.
I recently stumble onto Taylor Mathis from Taylor Takes a Taste and the creator of photographing FOOD.
Taylor is a professional food photographer who wants to help you learn to take better pictures of your food! Did you hear that?! He's a professional food photographer and he wants to help ME!
Taylor Takes a Taste has several food photography tutorials tips and tricks on the site, and now he is offering a downloadable PDF exploring the world of food photography, photographing FOOD…. each issue Taylor will walk you through a topic related to food photography.
issue No. 1 is Window Lighting
Window lighting is the most simple and least expensive way to light your images. Not only does Taylor show you how to use window light but he also shows you how your garage door can easily be used to make a great daylight studio (oh how I WISH we had a garage!) . Don't have access to daylight shooting hours?(BIG issue for many during the winter months) Don't worry, he covers that too (one of the main reasons I downloaded the pdf)
The three images above were taken at night with a $10 light source! Taylor shows you how! Short on space? These images were all taken on a kitchen counter or on the floor. This issue is filled with step by step and behind the scene shots showing you exactly how he arrived at each final shot.
So, if you got a new camera for Christmas, your New Year's resolution is to improve your food photography, or you just have a passion for photography…..you will love this guide. No matter what your skill level or experience, there is something for everyone in photographing FOOD.
This issue is available as a downloadable PDF. It is formatted to read beautifully on your computer, ipad or iphone. It was the best $5 I've spent in a long time!
click the photo above to purchase photographing FOOD
The next issue of photographing FOOD is on COLOR and should be out at the end of January 2013.
What's in my camera bag?
So what about you? do you have a passion for food photography?

Thanks so much for hosting Cheryl! Happy New Year! I am so looking forward to 2013 on Tidy Mom! That photography book on food looks AMAZING! I am going to buy it I think! Thanks so much! Angie xo
I'm with you! I love photographing food and I can't wait to perfect it
Thank you for sharing! Thank you for hosting as well, Cheryl!
What an amazing issue – fantastic information, thank you for sharing this with us
Thanks for the party. The book and info looks very interesting. I've really been working on my food photography. Better raw photos less editing. Have a great weekend!
This is GREAT!!! I am photographing food at LEAST once a week, if not more. Love this. Just tweeted. Linked up above and linked back.
What a great resource and for a great price. And how generous of him to offer to help you improve your photography (which is great and professional already)! I don't take any food photos but I love taking photos of my son!!
Thanks for hosting Cheryl! What a great giveaway
Food photography has become my passion this past year. I adore every aspect of it and I love to read anything I can find on it. This is one I need to download right away!!! Thank you so much for sharing and for the party, Cheryl.
I'm quite a fan of your food photography, Cheryl! Keep it up with the eye candy:)
Thanks for hosting 😀 x
Oh yes. When I first bought my camera it was to help me fuel that passion for taking better photos of my kids. When I started photographing food- my world changed. I am so in love with food photography. I can't get enough. I rip recipes out of magazines not because I want to make the dish but because I like the styling of the shot. I appreciate the wider angles & the whole scenes from above. I think they are gorgeous. But I think my favorites are the macros (better known as food porn) because they just make you want to eat whatever it is right then & there. I have a very short list of my favorite food photographers & they are nothing short of amazing. I have to say though- those of us that do it for our blog have a lot on their plate. Have you ever read the credits in a magazine for 1 shot- there is the person for the props, one for the styling, one for lighting, the photographer & probably a bunch more. We do all that all by ourselves. Because of that I admire those that create beautiful food images for their blog because it really is so much work- but so worth it.
LOVE it Cheryl!!! Totally going to buy it!
Thanks Cheryl! I just downloaded the book, looking forward to going through it!
Cheryl, you read my mind. I have been wanting to improve my own food photography. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
I struggle and struggle with my photography, But because it is actually better than it used to be, I just figure it is a never ending process of improvement! I will totally read this. Thanks Cheryl
I love this post Cheryl. In my head I found myself saying 'YES!' 'Me too!' through the entire article. A longtime family friend visited up last year and after a few meals out she discretely mentioned, after I'd held my family's meals hostage for pics (I WAS writing an article on the venue) 'you do realize your children are growing up thining it's NORMAL to take pictures of your food before you eat it?'. I ordered Taylor's book just recently myself. Love that you are featuring her. Happy New Year!
You lucky girl, looks like a amazing book!
This is really awesome, and generous. Thank you for sharing!
I need that PDF! So cool, I cant wait to learn tons of new stuff!!!
I am definitely grabbing this! I am always working on improving and learning more about food photography so this book is going to be useful!
Cheryl, thanks for introducing Taylor to me. Had no idea. I am going to follow his blog and invest the 5 bucks! Have a tasty weekend!! xx
Dang these are handy tips! It's hard to get a good picture of food you want to eat immediately anyways…
Thanks for the heads up on Taylor's book, it looks like it would be so much help.
Thanks for the head's up on Taylor's photography tips. Food photography is one area I always struggle with. Improving my photos is definitely one of my 2013 new year's resolutions.
Thank you for the heads up on Taylor's series! It was just what I needed!
This looks like great info, thanks! And thanks for another I'm Lovin' It – have a great weekend, Cheryl!
Food photography is TOUGH! I'm excited to explore all of your links, and check out this ebook!
awesome Cheryl!
It's my first time linking up and I almost missed the party! Thanks for hosing – lots of fun ideas out there!!
I love food photography. I was thinking about getting a new camera, I mean a good one. Thanks for this info Cheryl, I think this is exactly what I need.
Thank you for the info on this e-book! I just bought it and already I'm inspired to tackle better photography! I've been so frustrated with my photos recently, so the timing of finding this book was perfect!

Tickets for the Twilight Concert Series go on sale Friday, June 1
Tickets for the Twilight Concert Series go on sale Friday, June 1 at 10 a.m. at 24Tix.com and Graywhale Entertainment stores.Concerts will cost $5 per show, with season tickets for the nine-show series on sale for $35. Tickets will also be available at the gate.Charging for the concerts is a break with a 24-year tradition."Twilight is a cultural phenomenon that has changed the face of downtown Salt Lake City. I've been arguing for years that it makes sense [to charge a nominal fee]," said Jason Mathis, executive director of Downtown Alliance, which is one of the chief sponsors.The hardest person to convince? Mathis said it was the Arts Council's Casey Jarman, the series founder."I think it's a necessity," said Karen Kruger, the council's new executive director.Jarman said he realized at last summer's closing concert rapper Lupe Fiasco headlined that the series had become a victim of its own success. With an estimated crowd of 55,000 inside Pioneer Park, Jarman said audience members were packed in and "uncomfortable." "There was irony in the name if there ever was one," he said, referring to Fiasco.Last year, the average show attendance was 33,000.Jarman added that as he walked around the Fiasco concert, he ran into overcrowding, the recurring problem that led to the move three years ago from the much-smaller Gallivan Center to Pioneer Park.With rising production and artist fees, Jarman said he considered two options: Produce five Twilight concerts with no fee, or put on nine concerts with a $5 fee.story continues belowstory continues belowThat's two more than last year's seven concerts, which was all the Arts Council's budget could afford."The idea is not to weed out people," Jarman said, but to provide a better concert experience for those who attend.

Starkey: Clark's D.C. experience monumental
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Ryan Clark insists this is just another game, even though it's his first against the Washington Redskins since they kicked him out the door seven years ago.
Doesn't he want to show them what they've been missing?
"They know what they're missing," Clark says. "I just want to win the game."
What they're missing is a player who has, in many ways, become the rock of the Steelers' defense from his free safety position. Clark is a consistently excellent performer having another Pro Bowl-caliber season.
Clark's experience in D.C., though it lasted just two years (2004-05), was monumental on multiple fronts:
• He got play for Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs.
"That was an enlightening experience," Clark says. "He was a man of God, so it was cool to see a man lead who had those types of beliefs."
• He got his first taste of regular starting duty under a coordinator (Gregg Williams) who would become infamous in the Bountygate scandal.
"Still love Gregg. Always will. Gregg, he just saw me as a player, not as an undrafted free agent or a guy who was too small, maybe too slow. He gave me an opportunity to play football. And he's one of the main reasons I'm here today."
• He developed a close relationship with a spectacular young safety named Sean Taylor, who was tragically murdered two seasons after Clark left.
"We were both young, and when you're that young, you think you'll play together forever," Clark said. "Obviously, I left, and he passed, so it wasn't meant to be. But those two years I had with him, I'll always remember. I won't let other people forget him. It was a blessing."
• He came to represent, perhaps more than any player, the radical difference between how the impetuous, once-proud Redskins and the conservative, still-proud Steelers do business.
Flash back to winter 2005, after the Steelers won Super Bowl XL. The Redskins made a decent run that year, too, getting hot late and winning a playoff game before losing at Seattle.
Then this happened: Washington owner Dan Snyder fell in love with a couple of free agents, as was his habit, and started throwing money around.
One of Snyder's targets was Steelers receiver Antwaan Randle El, a role player coming off a 35-catch season. The Redskins thought it wise to offer Randle El $31 million (nearly a million per catch?) over seven years.
Snyder's real infatuation, however, was with St. Louis Rams safety Adam Archuleta.
Truth be told, Archuleta's first choice was Chicago, where he would be reunited with his old position coach, Lovie Smith. But he couldn't say no to Washington's offer: It was the richest in NFL history for a safety — $30 million over six years with $10 million guaranteed.
That spelled the end of Clark in Washington.
Meanwhile, the Steelers lost their starting free safety, Chris Hope, who signed an Archuleta-like, $30 million deal with the Tennessee Titans.
So what did the Steelers do?
Well, with hardly anybody noticing, they signed little ole Ryan Clark to a little ole four-year, $7 million deal — then watched him become the best of the four.
Clark believes Snyder has learned from his mistakes.
"He's a guy who takes a lot of flak for spending a lot of money," Clark says. "He wants to win, and I think a lot of times he didn't understand how to win. He didn't have the right people underneath him. I think now he does."
Time will tell, but Snyder finally has a real quarterback (Robert Griffin III) to go with a bona fide coach (Mike Shanahan).
Now it's time to back off and practice a little patience. That has been an issue for Snyder.
That and getting rid of guys like Ryan Clark.

December 1, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - A US official says a Pentagon inquiry into the case of the alleged Fort Hood shooter could lead to punishment of up to eight Army officers.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates is expected to refer findings on the officers to the Army for further inquiry and possible punishment.
An official familiar with a Pentagon inquiry says it finds fault with five to eight supervisors who knew or should have known about shortcomings and erratic behavior of the shooting suspect, Maj. Nidal Hasan. He is accused of killing 13 people in the rampage at the Texas Army base in November.
The officers supervised Hasan when he was a medical student and during his early work as an Army psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
The official described the confidential report on condition of anonymity because it has not been made public.
Senator Cornyn's Response:
"As the report indicates, the Fort Hood community's immediate response to the event was commendable, and the actions of leaders on the ground were critical to preventing further casualties," Sen. Cornyn said. "However, it is clear that federal agencies must do a better job of sharing information. The Fort Hood tragedy, much like the Christmas Day bombing attempt over Detroit, clearly demonstrates shortcomings."
Sen. Cornyn added, "In response to this report, I call upon our senior military leaders to take immediate action to address deficiencies in a personnel system that apparently enabled Maj. Nidal Hasan to progress through the ranks despite serious concerns by his military supervisors. We go to great lengths to keep our troops safe in overseas theaters of combat; when they return home, we cannot let our guard down."

Formation of silicon nanostructures with a combination of spacer technology and deep reactive ion etching
Nanoelectronics Cluster, MIMOS Berhad, Technology Park Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 57000, Malaysia
Nanoscale Research Letters 2012, 7:288 doi:10.1186/1556-276X-7-288Published: 6 June 2012
A new method of fabricating high aspect ratio nanostructures in silicon without the use of sub-micron lithographic technique is reported. The proposed method comprises two important steps including the use of CMOS spacer technique to form silicon nitride nanostructure masking followed by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) of the silicon substrate to form the final silicon nanostructures. Silicon dioxide is used as the sacrificial layer to form the silicon nitride nanostructures. With DRIE a high etch selectivity of 50:1 between silicon and silicon nitride was achieved. The use of the spacer technique is particularly advantageous where self-aligned nanostructures with potentially unlimited lengths are formed without the need of submicron lithographic tools and resist materials. With this method, uniform arrays of 100 nm silicon nanostructures which are at least 4 μm tall with aspect ratio higher than 40 were successfully fabricated.

ok, maybe i'm here to stir up the pot today, but....what's up with BPL reviews these days? REI and MSR tents? really? wouldn't the average BPL member be more interested in a hexamid or haven review? if i need a review of an MSR tent, i'll find one of the hundreds online already. i would like to have more reviews of cottage industry items that are pushing the boundaries of UL performance. i don't feel like i need to know more about a marmot sleeping bag, but i would like to know more about a nunatak quilt or a JRB wearable quilt. does anyone else share my opinion? could it be that BPL is releasing a quilt, bivy, pack, and tarp, and would like to not have any conflict of interest? i like reviews of items like the jakpak and the poddle because they are something new and innovative.thoughts?
REI and UL are not normally used in the same sentence.REI doesn't understand the meaning of the term. Their target demographic appears to be modern day Yuppies whose idea of "roughing it" is car camping in a state park. Really roughing it means the toilets don't go "whoosh". Definitely, no more REI gear reviews please; let Backpacker magazine do that. BPL should stick to the real UL gear, especially the newer stuff from the Outdoor shows and the cottage industries. For example, try some of the new Catabatic gear............give us a short Spotlight Review, and if merited from your findings, a full-on review.
Edited by wandering_bob on 04/30/2010 18:33:46 MDT.
I want more reviews of stuff that I can't just go down to my local outfitters and look at myself.Especially with all the new cottages stating up. maybe the BPL staff can get together with some of the new makers and give us a look. I am also tired of reading people post about "my favorite piece of gear is the Bozeman.... or BPL...." when it does me no good since that stuff is long gone.
I too would like to see reviews of things not available at REI etc.. That's what we're here for, the non mainstream stuff. Want reviews for the items that have you saying, Wow, I have never seen one of those.
I fully agree with all the above!
We are in the process of writing a State Of The Market Report of 2-person double-wall tents with a trail weight of 4 lb or less. As part of that we are using, and reviewing a lot of the tents. Just the nature of the beast. It will drop back off after the SOTMR is finished.
I gotta agree w/ everyone else. What you're doing is a complete waste of time for your readership. Maybe harsh, but true. Everyone is clamoring for a Z Pack's Hexamid-THAT"S what you should be reviewing!Don't make the reader's reviews have to do your work for you.
Given how detailed your reviews are, you must be spending quite a bit of time in the field with the gear. Sounds like a lot more fun than my job, since I work in a Dilbert box.Even though I'd rather see reviews of the cottage gear as well, I do appreciate the effort you put into the reviews that you are doing either way. And besides, it will make for more interesting reading when we can compare the cottage gear to the "big boys" gear. :)
What about updating some product reviews? Often the cottage manufacturers will update their products, adding or deleting features, changing specs, etc. For example: There is a new version of the TT DR. It'd be nice if the review was updated as well, reflecting the changes. It would also help if the review updated the shelters it was compared with, since shelters come and go, and some change. The SMD Europa, which is compared to the DR in the DR's review, doesn't exist anymore.But, I should add, this is all very time consuming, and I appreciate the time put into the reviews. If you guys ever need any help testing some gear......; )
Edited by T.L. on 04/30/2010 19:42:07 MDT.
I agree that a greater focus on lightweight/UL gear would be a welcome addition. I do like the idea of a bit more concentration on what I can't find locally, however, not everyone lives in areas that serve backpackers. That much said, when approached from a Lightweight/UL perpsective, I find some of the reviews of more mainstream gear to be useful, precisely because the scrutiny applied by a Lightweight/UL enthusiast generally differs substantially from that of your traditional reviewer.The move from a traditional backpacking base weight to that of lightweight and UL is an evolutionary process for many people. Some of these mainstream products help bridge that gap and are a nice balance between weight and creature comfort. And it is clear that many people on these forums have experience with these products.And while I don't want to shift the debate here - I would suggest that people go easy on the state park / REI / car-camping crowd. I don't think car camping as a negative, maybe not my thing, but hey, who here started out by backpacking UL from the get-go? If yuppies want to car camp in state parks, I am all for it! If it gives them a greater appreciation for parks and protected lands, then only good can come from it. The worst outcome, in my estimation, would be indifference toward our public lands.Dirk
I'm going to have to agree with much of what has been said. I expected more data and gear reviews coming into the spring of 2010 with the current stream of new cuben shelters/tarps, UL packs, alcohol stoves (ex. Trail Designs TiTri Inferno, Evernew DX, etc.), trail running shoes, etc. Alas, the year is young and there is plenty to look forward to as we are in the midst of spring. I do have high expectations from BPL for 2010 with all the options available to the lightweight hiking community. Of course there is always hikinginfinland.com for current and relevant gear reviews and interviews concerning the UL industry. So all is well.
I'm with Dirk. I prefer focus on lightweight but some mainstream is good. Can't convert all at once due to cost.
well, in response to some of the comments- i don't have any issue with the REI crowd or car camping or yuppies in the wilderness. i started out car camping as did many of us i'm sure. i also don't have a problem with MSR tents or REI tents, i'm sure they are decent. however...they sure aren't anything new. a rectangular double wall dome tent? where have i seen that before?this thread was not directed at raymond pre se, just the lack of reviews i feel BPL subscribers would like to read. there are plenty of people on this site that buy the new gear and write great reviews with excellent photos demonstrating pro and cons. they darn sure aren't doing it for the money, so it must be the service to the community at BPL.
With out adding to much fuel to the fire I too am going to have to agree. I payed money to become a BPL member with the idea that part of that membership would give me reviews and info that was more pertinent to light and UL backpacking. Were as some reviews have been great many others have not.(Referring to item quality not the actual review quality)Hopefully with the amount of attention and agreement this thread is getting we can start to see a little more movement towards the UL items or at least an explanation on how items are picked to be reviewed.EDIT:Bah I can't spell....
Edited by QNelson on 04/30/2010 21:12:21 MDT.
I don't think that anyone is criticizing the mainstream campers, but rather requesting a stronger emphasis on reviews of gear that are designed for THIS community.
Rakesh got it right.There's nothing inherently wrong with car camping and the like, but that's not what this site and it's demographic are about. This is BackpackingLIGHT. Let's stay there.Backpackgeartest.org hasgood user reviews of a lot of the so-called mainstream gear. Go there for reviews like that.
Edited by wandering_bob on 04/30/2010 21:17:41 MDT.
I agree with the previous posters -- the most interesting reviews are for:*) State of the art survey reviews*) UL gear I do not find reviewed elsewhere*) Calling my attention to UL gear I might not otherwise be aware ofThere is one other category -- the state-of-the-art reviews in areas that are changing rapidly, such as GPS and digital cameras. The reviews BPL has done have been fine when done; what is needed is keeping those reviews up to date -- by definition, reviews in areas that are changing rapidly quickly become out of date. Perhaps an annual update in such areas would be good.--MV
Edited by blean on 04/30/2010 21:41:38 MDT.
""Perhaps an annual update in such areas would be good.""This is a great idea
Hey, I wasn't trying to start an argument here - I agree with the premise and mission of BPL, or else I wouldn't be a member. I wish there were more reviews and emphasis on light gear as well, regardless of who makes the stuff. I just don't have an issue with some "maintstream" gear being reviewed.Bob, thanks for the tip on katabatic gear as well! Good find. http://katabaticgear.com/Dirk
Edited by dirk9827 on 04/30/2010 22:00:04 MDT.
Please don't mind that my name says "Staff" underneath it because I'm definitely prone to be given more credit than I may be worth because of it. That being said I agree with much of what is being said in this thread. It was for the quality information being requested by the above posters that I too originally joined BPL some years ago. Now, to play the part of the "Staff" mentioned underneath my name I would suggest that the BPL community consider looking into submitting articles and reviews of the the items they are interested in themselves. Currently those who are writing and reviewing for BPL have a certain perspective/angle and I'd like to see what others could bring to the table i.e. as more cottage-industry based reviews.

|carbonated mineral water
|Dr Pepper Snapple Group
|Country of origin
Schweppes /ˈʃvɛps/[1] is a beverage brand that is sold around the world. It includes a variety of carbonated waters and ginger ales.
In the late eighteenth century, Johann Jacob Schweppe developed a process to manufacture carbonated mineral water based on the discoveries of Joseph Priestley. Schweppe founded the Schweppes Company in Geneva in 1783 to sell carbonated water.[2] In 1792, he moved to London to develop the business there. In 1843, Schweppes commercialised Malvern Water at the Holywell Spring in the Malvern Hills, which was to become a favourite of the British Royal Family through to the present day.[citation needed]
In 1969, the Schweppes Company merged with Cadbury to become Cadbury Schweppes. After acquiring many other brands in the ensuing years, the company was split in 2008, with its US beverage unit becoming the Dr Pepper Snapple Group and separated from its global confectionery business (now part of Mondelēz International).[3] The Dr Pepper Snapple Group is the current owner of the Schweppes trademark.
Mainstay Schweppes products include ginger ale (1870),[citation needed] bitter lemon (1957),[4] and tonic water (the oldest soft drink in the world – 1771).[5]
During the 1920s and 1930s the artist William Barribal created a range of posters for Schweppes.[6] In 1945 the advertising agency S.T.Garland Advertising Service Ltd., London coined the word 'Schweppervescence' which was first used the following year. Thereafter it was used extensively in advertisements produced by Garlands who sold copyright of this word to the Schweppes Company for £150 five years later when they relinquished the account.
An ad campaign in the 1950s and 1960s featured a real-life veteran British naval officer named Commander Whitehead, who described the product's bubbly flavour (effervescence) as "Schweppervescence".[7]
Another campaign made use of onomatopoeia in their commercials: "Schhh… You know who." after the sound of the gas escaping as one opens the bottle.[8] [9]

HERS Rating for New Construction -
A Home Energy Rating is an assessment of the energy efficiency
of a house. It is based on the construction methods and materials
used and on diagnostic testing for air-tightness and duct leakage.
A computer analysis using the house data determines the
projected heating, cooling, and water heating loads.
The rating, a score between 0 and 100, results from a
comparison of these loads to a similar house built to meet the
energy code. A score of 80 indicates that the house meets code. Each point above or
below 80 represents a 5% difference. For example, a score of 86 means the house is
30% more efficient than one built to code; a score of 77 means that it is 15% less
efficient. If your house scores an 86 or higher, it qualifies as an ENERGY STAR® house.
A Home Energy Rating also comes with detailed reports on the house's energy usage,
indicating the biggest contributors to the heating and cooling loads. This provides a
sound basis for making cost-effective improvements.
