I recently read Luke 18:22 where Jesus tells the rich young man who wants to get into heaven, "Sell all you have and give to the poor". I've been thinking about it, and it occurred to me that I have a heck of a lot of knives, especially Bark River (fixed blade) and one-hand openers (Bench made and Spyderco)....selling might be one way to help folks in need, but what about direct giving? I've had a lot of fun giving nice knives to young guys and gals who love the outdoors but are seriously poor college students, etc. So here's the deal:If you know someone who is low on the economic scale, but could really use a nice Barkie or one-hand opener, send me a note at grampa (dot) barber (at) gmail (dot) com. Tell me what sort of knife he or she could use, and I'll see what I can come up with. These will be users, maybe without boxes, slightly dinged blades maybe, amateur-waxed sheaths, etc. If you want I'll send you a photo of the knife before I ship it. I will ship it to you free and post paid. If you want to give a Bark River knife a Spa treatment (something Bark River does for a minimal price for their knives - makes the knife like new. I can send you details), it's up to you (you send it!). Then you can give it to your friend in whatever manner would be most meaningful to you and them - my name doesn't need to come into it at all.Also, just to be clear, these are not ultrlight knives. They are much more in the traditional knife mode. FWIW, I have a lot of small Barkies, quite a few medium sized, some larger ones, a few non-BRK fixed blades (like a Kabar), and a dozen or two one-handers that I can pass on. Please email me at the above address, don't PM me or describe your friend on the forum here. But do email me if there's someone you know who could use a good blade but can't afford one. Even if it's you!Oh, and obviously, this is not for expanding your own knife collection!!! For that you can buy one - even one of mine, and I'll donate the $$$ to an appropriate non-profit.

Right on man!!! Way to spread the love!!!Its funny how the Big Man makes you think...
Cool! One going out for sure tomorrow, and another waiting on a decision as to which knife is preferred!Keep 'em coming, folks!
Fantastic PIF and gesture! Very moving.
All the knives have been mailed out by USPS Parcel Post. Given the Christmas rush, it may take a week or so to get to their destinations.Thanks for your help!
Hope to keep the thread alive...what a great gesture. I'm sure those luck people really appreciated your generosity but more importantly just plain being a good human. way to go...

Ofcom has opened a consultation on how radio spectrum might be used for media support at the London 2012 Olympics.
The telecoms regulator expects the event to attract over 20,000 journalists from around the world, and plans to use wireless bandwidth to provide video links for cameras crews.
Other ideas include using the spectrum for handheld radios to assist the London Organising committee and remote microphones and in-ear monitors for those covering the competition.
The next-generation technology will play a vital role in supporting the Games, said Ofcom chief executive, Ed Richards.
"We can't see it, hear it or touch it, but radio spectrum is absolutely essential to delivering themost technologically advanced Olympic Games ever," said Richards.
"With the eyes of the world on London during the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, Ofcom will play a crucial role in ensuring that spectrum is available for the smooth operation of these events."
The regulator is accepting feedback on the proposals until 22 February 2008. Full details of the plans can be read here.

Alan Bissett is the Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Writer of the Year 2011.
He was born in 1975 in Falkirk, Scotland. David Bowie's 'Space Oddity', re-released, was at Number One in the charts that week. He grew up in Hallglen, a housing scheme on the outskirts of the town and the setting for much of his later work, attending Hallglen Primary School, Falkirk High School, and then Stirling University, where he studied English. After graduating he worked very briefly as an English teacher, before deciding to study for a PhD, supporting himself by selling books in Waterstones. He didn't get the PhD, but he did publish his debut novel.
This was Boyracers, released in August 2001 by Polygon. He was offered a position lecturing in Creative Writing at Leeds University soon after, which is where he wrote The Incredible Adam Spark (Headline, 2005). In 2004 he moved to Glasgow, originally to take up a teaching position on Glasgow University's Creative Writing MLitt. In 2007, Alan collaborated with the singer-songwriter Malcolm Middleton (Arab Strap) on the song 'The Rebel On His Own Tonight', for the Ballads of the Book album project which matched up Scottish writers like Ian Rankin, AL Kennedy, Edwin Morgan and Alasdair Gray with musicians like Sons and Daughters, King Creosote and Idlewild.
He left Glasgow University in December 2007, and has been working as a full time writer ever since.
Novel number 3, Death of a Ladies' Man, shortlisted for the Scottish Arts Council Fiction of the Year prize, was published in 2009, also the year in which Alan started working in theatre. His first play, The Ching Room, a co-production between Glasgow's Oran Mor and Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, ran at both theatres in March 2009 to great critical acclaim, and has since been revived at Glasgow's Citizens Theatre, the Royal Exchange, Manchester, and in Philadelphia. In the same month, Alan debuted his 'one-woman' show The Moira Monologues (then known as Times When I Bite) at the Aye Write literary festival in Glasgow. The Moira Monologues, which he wrote and performed himself, had an extended life in 2010, running in a double bill with The Ching Room at the Citizens Theatre and the Royal Exchange, as well as ten sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in the National Library of Scotland. It is now in development as a series with the BBC. Alan also collaborated with The Moira Monologues' director Sacha Kyle on The Confidant (Oran Mor, Glasgow and Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, March 2011) and Turbo Folk (Oran Mor) which was nominated for Best New Play at the 2010 Critics Awards For Theatre in Scotland.
In 2009, The Shutdown, a documentary short written and narrated by Alan and made by Adam Stafford, about Alan's own experience of growing up in the shadow of Grangemouth Oil Refinery, with particular reference to his father's injury in the refinery flare incident of 13th March 1987, premiered in competition at Edinburgh International Film Festival, IDFA and Silverdocs Documentary Festival in Washington DC.
To date, The Shutdown has won or been shortlisted for numerous international awards, including both the Jury and Audience Awards for Scottish Short Film at the Jim Poole Scottish Short Film Awards 2009, Best Short Documentary at the San Francisco Film Festival 2010 and the Palm Springs Shortfest 2010. It was also shortlisted for a Scottish BAFTA in 2011.
Polygon published an updated tenth anniversary edition of Boyracers, including a new afterword by Alan, in April 2011. Pack Men, Alan's fourth novel and a sequel to Boyracers, was published by Hachette in September 2011, after a launch at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
Alan is currently working on a number of projects. A film version of Boyracers is in development with Hopscotch Productions, after receiving Creative Scotland funding; a BBC version of The Moira Monologues is being scripted; and he is working on a show, Nikki and the Gang, for Youth Musical Theatre UK and a new play entitled The Red Hourglass.
He is very much in demand as a live act, and as well as appearing in countless schools across Scotland has performed at prestigious international festivals in New York, Toronto, the Hague, Melbourne, Bejing, Zagreb and Kikinda (Serbia).
In 2008 the Daily Record newspaper named him the 46th Hottest Man in Scotland. He hasn't been on the list since, which he very much laments.

Any fan of Star Trek knows the drill: An enemy ship attacks, the red alert blares, and the shields go up. Back in the real world, a team of physicists has now shown that such deflector shields are possible and could help protect astronauts from potentially lethal radiation as they travel to the moon, Mars, or beyond.
Humans have worked in low Earth orbit for years now and have briefly forayed to the moon. But so far they have not ventured for more than about a week into outer space, where they risk periodic exposure to high-energy particles from the sun and cosmic rays. Those particles are powerful enough to damage or destroy any DNA molecules they encounter. The danger is practically nonexistent closer to home, because Earth's magnetic field acts as a giant shield, deflecting much of the harmful radiation away. If humans colonize the moon or travel to other planets, they'll need a portable version of the geomagnetic field.
Such a device might come from nuclear-fusion research. Fusion reactors must generate powerful magnetic fields to confine particles undergoing high-temperature, high-density thermonuclear reactions. The difference in a spaceship is that the reactor would work inside out--repelling charged particles away from the ship instead of confining them inside.
That setup just might work, according to a paper published today in Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion. Using computer simulations of plasma--the state of matter created in fusion reactors and encountered in space as solar storms and cosmic rays--the researchers calculated that a magnetic force field only a few hundred meters wide could provide astronauts substantial protection against harmful radiation. The team says the power requirements for a protective force field would actually be thousands of times smaller than those for a nuclear fusion reactor--on the order of kilowatts--and the magnets required would be far smaller.
"I'm delighted to say that the [simulation] worked the first time we tried it," says plasma physicist and lead author Ruth Bamford of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Didcot, U.K. The simulated force field blocked incoming radiation completely, though Bamford cautions that the device probably wouldn't provide complete protection in real space conditions. For one thing, it couldn't block out x-rays or gamma rays. In any event, she says, "our aim isn't perfect protection but to bring down the radiation to acceptable levels."
That goal might remain elusive. Physicist Geoffrey Reeves of Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico says it's "notoriously difficult" to replicate the space environment in the laboratory. Although the experiment screens out the bulk of the solar wind, it does not necessarily eliminate the most energetic solar particles, which make up a small part of the radiation but are "where the main hazard lies." Physicist Yue Chen, also of Los Alamos, agrees. The paper presents "exciting work," he says, but the researchers still need to prove that creating a magnetic bubble to protect a spacecraft is viable, he says.

- Just under a month left for university students to submit entries online to European-wide Intel entrepreneurship competition.
- Winners to participate in Intel® Global Challenge @ UC Berkeley.
- $100,000 in prize money up for grabs along with mentoring from entrepreneurial leaders throughout the competition.
MUNICH, April 14, 2011 – Following its launch in March, university students have just under a month left to participate in the Intel® Challenge Europe 2011 as the deadline to submit entries draws near. Business plan proposals, in the form of executive summaries of 1-3 pages, must be sent through by Sunday, 8 May 2011 via http://www.intelchallenge.eu/participate/.
The Intel Challenge Europe is a business plan competition for university students and is organized in collaboration with educational institutions and entrepreneurship organizations across Europe. Its goal is to build up the next generation of entrepreneurs and feed the innovation society by helping to instil interest and development of technological projects with strong business and commercialization potential. By advancing technology entrepreneurship, Intel Challenge Europe can support projects that create value-added production chains, employment and innovation-fuelled economic growth.
The entries from the first round of the competition will be shortlisted further in two rounds of business plan submissions and presentations, capping off with a regional face-to-face final in Sopot, Poland on 26-28 September 2011. During the regional finals, two teams each from Western Europe and Eastern Europe will be selected. The Intel Challenge Europe finals will be held in conjunction with the European New Ideas Forum. The Forum is an avenue for discussions among business communities from the European Union, with a view to seeking and promoting new solutions for the pressing economic and civilization issues facing Europe and the world.
The four winners of the regional finals will be invited to participate in the Intel® Global Challenge @ UC Berkeley in November this year. Participants will compete for $100,000 in prize money, and will receive mentoring throughout the competition from leaders in the entrepreneurial communities in Europe and Silicon Valley.
"Some of the best innovation ideas come from creative young minds. By helping students develop these ideas and turn them into real business value, they will have the opportunity to have a positive impact on society. The young generation's ideas will lead to the creation of new businesses that create new jobs, stimulate economic growth and raise standards of living," said Christian Morales, Vice President and General Manager, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Intel Corporation.
Business plan proposals must be based on a novel technology invention, demonstrate market need and ideally, scale to global demand. They should be directed to the development of technologies that may include, but are not limited to, the areas of wireless computing, digital home, enterprise and consumer software, energy, nanotechnology, semiconductors, digital health and biotechnology. The new venture must not have received any venture capital funding and can have only up to $250,000 investment. For more details on participation requirements, go to: http://www.intelchallenge.eu/howtowin/
Entries will be evaluated in each country by highly qualified judges in various fields, including academia, venture capital and investment, entrepreneurship, and technology. To be successful, entries must – among other things – comprise a technological innovation with a clear value proposition, cover a potentially interesting market, hold a solid business plan, and be presented clearly and precisely.
The Intel Business Plan competition for university students was founded in Eastern Europe in 2004 and is today available to students across Europe, Turkey and Israel. More information on Intel in education and entrepreneurship is available at http://www.intel.com/about/corporateresponsibility/education/index.htm.

Tim,I have never had the pleasure of trying the 12-year old, but in my imagination it would be similar to 101 and RB, but better yet.
In simplistic terms, all I'm capable of, I fear, think of combining the robust flavor of 101 with the smoothness and subtlety of KS, and that's the 12 y/o.
Yours truly,
Dave Morefield

1998 GMC Sonoma
I have a 98 GMC Sonoma 2.2L that seems to start only when it wants to for no particular reason. It was in a flood about 2 years ago, up to the headlights. No problems until now. Half the time, the fuel pump will audibly kick on with ignition, the other half, it won't. Obviously doesn't start without fuel. BUT. If the pump won't start, all I have to do is jump it to another vehicle or put it on a starter and the pump starts EVERY TIME. Otherwise, there is no factor that will change when it starts or not; cold nor hot engine, cold nor warm weather. I have checked most connections from the battery to grounds, and to the starter, etc. As well as chassis grounds to electrical componenets such as the pump. Recently haven't tried anything else because it ran fine with no problems for three days, until today. Please HELP.

Check the relay and it's contacts, they might be coroded.

That was the first thing I checked. We took the bed off to look at the fuel pump, checked that the pump itself worked, and continuity from the relay center to the pump-all good. We also checked the relay and coil itself, even switched it with the smae number from neighbor relays. Anything else you can think of? I've now stumped the mechanic from my neighborhood Autozone, from AAMCO, and my friend's dad - A master mechanic for Ford, Chrysler, and Chevrolet. Please reply.

Fossil Lookbook
posted on: 11/16/2011
Back in September, I worked with the team at Fossil on their holiday lookbook. The idea? Using the 30 for 30 remix with their holiday line. After running around the room for a solid 15 minutes giving my self high-fives, I told Fossil I was in. True to the 30 for 30, I picked out 30 pieces and styled each look. Then shot the outfits over two days. Possibly the fastest remix in style blogging history. (I do not recommend a two-day timeline for 30 outfits, just FYI.)
This was also possibly the coolest thing that I've ever done. With exception to my wedding day and winning the 6th grade science fair. (Admittedly the science fair was a big day in my life.)
A few of my favorites from the shoot.
And of course you can check out all of the looks at Fossil.com.

Congrats on such an awesome project. You are a natural model, Kendie.ReplyDelete
I love features that show repeat pieces because most women do not have magical closets of new pieces (unless they are shopaholics, lol).
Love seeing how you styled all 30 looks on the Fossil website! You have got serious remix skill...don't know how you do it.ReplyDelete
Hey love!ReplyDelete
This is such an amazing opportunity for you & ill admit I'm a little jealous but in a good way! Congrats & btw you did amazingggg!

SIMKINS, ELDRED JAMES (1839–1903). Eldred James Simkins, attorney, son of Eldred J. and Pattie Simkins, was born in Edgefield District, South Carolina, on October 13, 1839. He graduated from South Carolina College in 1859 and at the beginning of the Civil War volunteered for Hampton's Legion. He was appointed to the First Confederate Artillery Regiment in 1862. On December 27, 1864, he married Eliza Trescott of Beaufort, South Carolina. They moved to Monticello, Florida, where Simkins was admitted to the bar in 1866. He also edited the Monticello Advertiser and served as chairman of the county Democratic executive committee. He and his brother, William S. Simkins, organized the Florida Ku Klux Klan. In 1871 the two men moved to Texas and opened a law firm in Corsicana. Eldred Simkins became editor of the Navarro Banner and was chairman of the Democratic party in Navarro County until 1876. From 1872 to 1876 he was district attorney of the Thirty-fifth Judicial District. He was appointed to the board of regents of the University of Texas in 1882 and worked to secure money for the opening of the institution; he served until 1896. In 1886 and 1890 he was elected to the Texas Senate from the Corsicana district and was instrumental in the establishment of the Railroad Commission. He was appointed associate justice of the Court of Criminal Appeals by James Stephen Hogg in 1892 and served until 1894, when he returned to private law practice in Corsicana. He died there on June 25, 1903.

Fairfield Christian's Steve Carpenter shoots during a recent Mid-State League-Cardinal Division game against Harvest Prep. Carpenter was nominated to play in the McDonald's All-American Games later this spring.
- Filed Under
Almost 1,000 boys and girls senior basketball players across the country were nominated to play in the 2014 McDonald's All-American Games. Fairfield Christian's Steven Carpenter made the cut.
"It really is a great honor," Carpenter said. "I'm thankful to be nominated for that. I know there are some good basketball players out there. I'm just glad that someone thought I was good enough to be nominated."
Carpenter - who is averaging 23.6 points for the Knights this season - was one of 984 nominees nationwide and one of 121 nominations from Ohio, which led all states in nominations. Central Ohio ...

It's not perfect. If I was going to do it again, I think I'd have done some things differently. Like I think I'd make the back a bit wider, because it's a little snug across the shoulders despite my having let the back pleat out quite a bit for the same reason. And I'd take it in a bit more at the waist....I may still do that if I'm feeling up to it, actually. Depends on how self-conscious I end up feeling about it. I'd definitely make the buttonholes a little bigger, because some of the buttons are reaaaaaally hard to button, but I was having some issues with that anyway (more on that later). And I ended up taking something like 6" off the hem, because when I did the test version, I knew that with the plaid, it was going to hit in a really awful spot on my hips. I think maybe I took a little too much off. Maybe.
But I do think I did well with other things. I took a little of the fullness out of the sleeves, and they're perfectly non-gathered just like I wanted--and I added the right length, too! And I still like the way the pleats turned out! I like the double-buttoned cuffs even though I don't think the pattern called for that. (I have to admit that once I got to the buttonholes yesterday afternoon, I kind of ignored the magazine's instructions altogether and just stuck them where they'd look good. And no collar button that I'm never, ever going to use!) I think I did a pretty good job of matching up the stripes, too, at least to the extent that I could given the pattern. I'm still proud of myself for picking this fabric, because it's not in my color comfort zone at all-- no blue, green, black or brown anywhere, and I still like it.
I do like the pattern overall, and I think with a couple of tweaks to fix those fitting issues, I'd use it again.
So that issue I'm having with buttonholes... I think I may have broken the buttonhole foot on my machine. :-( I have this bad habit of setting it on the edge of the table--earlier this year or late last year I found a travel toiletry case at Goodwill and I've been using that as my "sewing box", which has worked really well, and had been keeping it in there. Which worked much better. Except that apparently I forgot to do that one time recently, and it got knocked onto the floor and into two pieces. It's back together now, but it doesn't quite slide around as well as it should, and still comes apart sometimes. I'm also not entirely convinced that because of that, it doesn't affect the length the buttonholes actually end up being in relation to each other--my machine has the ability to make one buttonhole and then go on auto to remember the length, but if the foot's not starting in the right place, I think it may be shortening a few of them. I'm not sure if I'll be able to replace it either, since I have an older model machine. :-( Guess I'll have to start checking eBay.
I also did a minor refashion recently, which I finished up on Friday night. I got this tank top awhile back because I liked the color and the length and overall shape of it. What I did not like was this embellishment. I was ok with the sequins, but those clusters of fake pearls were just nasty. Especially since I'm not a pearl fan anyway--too grandmotherly for my taste. So I took those off, as well as the sequins since they were coming off anyway. I wanted to take the lace off too, but I took a couple of stitches out and found that it was leaving visible holes in the fabric, so it had to stay. It was too plain with just the lace, so I ended up sewing beads on there.
A couple of updates on previously mentioned things:
#1: I've decided for certain that I will be doing Self-Stitched September. My pledge is to wear at least one handmade or reconstructed article of clothing and/or accessory each day for the month. (Good thing I have my jewelry stash.)
#2: You remember that jeans muslin? The one that was just refusing to work? The class instructor did get it in the mail. (And is actually using it as an example in the jeans-fitting class she's teaching at a fashion school there, eep! I guess it's a good example of what not to do....or how many fitting issues one girl can have...) The nice thing is that she's going to make a pattern from the muslin (hopefully after fixing the crotch issues) and send that back to me. So that saves me a step, and then I don't have to worry about remembering the ridiculous amount of changes I ended up making. So maybe, just maybe, there is hope that someday I will be able to make a pair of jeans that really fit! (And don't fall apart after 3 wearings. Yes, I'm still a little bitter about that one.)
Next on the agenda: a new bag for fall. I broke down and bought a purse last fall because I didn't have time to sew one, and ended up hating it. At least, hating the straps, which had a tendency to constantly fall off my shoulder when I had to wear a coat. Especially this one, which is quite bulky due to all of the layers...stuff like that makes me wish I could wear wool. (Also, for a pricey leather bag, which thankfully was on sale, it was kind of poorly constructed-- I had a tear in it before 2 months had passed!) So this year I'm going back to my funky printed cotton bag. And using up some stash to boot! Hoping to cut that out tonight, since I have reduced teaching and will be home earlier than usual. Ah, end of summer/beginning of marching band season.

Recommended Set-up for a bigger guy
Hey everyone, I was wondering if you could help me. I am new to snowboarding and starting to get more and more into it. I was wondering if you guys could suggest a set up for me, a bigger guy.
My dimensions are:
6 feet tall (likely to grow to be about 6'3"
205 lbs
17 years old
size 11 shoe
I am a beginner however my friends who are quite good say I am learning quickly I did blue on my first day of learning without falling, I dont know if that is good or bad, as I said, I am quite new to snowboarding. I would like a set up that isn't too too expensive. I prefer downhill/ freeride boards. I like doing occasional tricks but it will not be used for only tricks. Thanks so much and keep shredding.

A few of my friends are bigger and they picked up Status Stigma's from last year and they are loving them. They usually ride tahoe/mammoth and they claim the extra width (around 26cm?) was perfect for their larger foot size. I ride the Status Uno and love it but it may be a bit too narrow for you. Looks like last year's stigmas are on sale too, fyi.

You don't need a wide board until you get up to size 12. I ride a size 11 boot and from my experience you'll be fine on anything 25.3 width and up.
As a progressing beginner some boards to check out are the Never Summer SL, Capita Defenders of Awesome, and Yes Basic.
I'd look for something 158-162 or so at your weight.

Thanks everyone so far
I have been able to try out Burton Board with K2 bindings, I ride regular and I like to carve in and out. I like to do the occasional trick but I wont use it for only tricks and grinds. Thanks so much so far.

I have a size 10.5 boot and I can give you two pieces of advice. First would be check some of Burton's boots with foot shrinkage it helps if you're really worried about toe drag. There is a huge difference between my Grails and my lashed.
Second check the waist width before you buy your board. The dimensions are on the net at each manufactures site. I always do before I buy to make sure the deck I'm checking out isn't going to be a problem.
Last have you checked out Lib-Tech, they are really decent when it comes to width and I use the TRS and it comes in a regular width but I use the Skate Banana in a wider width for more fun in the park. Burton is also a decent choice due to the IS Channel since you can really dial in your width and angles with ease preventing issues with toe and heel drag.
In my opinion I would scope out Burton for boots due to the shrinkage tech. Then you can ride what you like. A size 11 boot rides like a size 10 and you won't over hang then. Then you can ride whatever board you like. But like stated above it really doesn't become an issue till a size 12 or bigger.

Okay, cyfer has the right idea. Start by committing to a pair of boots. Try a lot on and get the most comfortable pair. Make sure you can live with laces if that's what you end up getting (over boas).
Then find bindings/sizes that will match that boot. Again best way to test this will be in the store. It's about fit and stiffness. Go with a medium stiffness.
Then match to a board. I think you're in the 160 range, and it's hard to say if you should be in a W width if you're not matching your boots and bindings to that range. However a narrower board in general will be easier to flex meaning easier to turn. Again I would go with a medium stiffness.
Try not to come up with a setup the other way around, I.e., starting with the board first. Shit will more likely to be uncomfortable and you'll end up scrapping it altogether.
Also brands don't really matter. Surf around here and get a sense for what others are riding just to get an idea of brands. But what someone else has got might not mean shit for you. Get good boots for you and you're on the right track.

Worked in a shop awhile ago but haven't in years. Found out if rather ride than sell shit to other people to get them out on the hill.
Good rule of thumb for purchasing your first setup is as follows and this is just my OPINION.
1) Boots, spend the most your budget here, buy the best you can without breaking the bank. You will spend 8 hours plus in these and if they suck in the shop they will be worse in an hour or two. Be very picky here and don't skimp on a few extra bucks because you WILL regret it later. Try on as many boots as you can and keep em on you feet for a few minutes. Your feet tend to swell in boots and try to buy them as tight as you can take them without pain. Most boots will pack out a half size in about four to six days on the hill.
2) Bindings, make sure they fit the boots you just decided on and have no pressure points on the boots. Bindings should be comfortable and be easy to use with your boots, fit snugly, and have no play or slop. Medium stiffness is a good start and stay away from carbon fiber and such for now. It will only kill your feet later. I suggest getting a canted binding to save on you knees too. I'd also try to get the most adjustable you can afford because it will help you later as you progress. They can be swapped later from board to then.
3) Board, this is the place where you can skimp a little and save cash to buy those better boots. It is also the most disposable part of the setup because it takes the most abuse. So buying a lesser board while learning is a good idea so if and when you gouge it you're not that all pissed. It's easy to upgrade next season and if you bought your bindings and boots properly painless too. Go with a medium stiffness and buy to your weight requirements. Too soft and it will feel loose, too stiff and turning could be an issue. For beginners I suggest a twin or directional twin, rocker camber because its way easier to turn and catch free unlike traditional camber or hybrid rocker camber.
That's just how I would approach it if I still worked in a shop and you asked me but again it's opinion others might see this differently. Good luck and enjoy your shred.

What is bravery?
As I sit here getting ever closer to the end of my latest tour of duty, I contemplate the mind set of the British soldier. This may or may not be one of the most dangerous places on the planet, probably not but it is still dangerous. It makes me wonder exactly what bravery is.
Is it simply brave to just be here? Is it brave to step outside the wire? Is it brave to fly those flying chariots that are our primary mode of transport here? Is it brave to don all of your PPE (Personal protective equipment)? Is it brave to poke your head up over a wall in the middle of Helmand?
I am not sure. These are the day to day experiences of some of the soldiers out here in Afghanistan. Although you feel trepidation prior to any of the above, when you get there, you just go, do your business and the training takes over. You are so busy looking, thinking, observing, watching, you don't really have the time to be worried. We don't constantly worry about every step, or that it could be your last.
I certainly don't feel brave when in the relative safety of Camp Bastion. I don't feel 'brave' when I go out on patrol, I don't feel 'brave' when I fly in the Merlin or Chinook and I certainly don't feel brave wrapped up in my PPE (only bloody heavy).
So what is brave?
I had the good fortune this week to photograph a soldier who had been lucky. He had been shot by an insurgent, whilst on patrol in Helmand. Luckily for him he was saved by his body armour, the round embedding into his back plate.
Armed with what remains of the round, we were tasked to get some photographs of Trooper Dan Griffiths for the UK press, I asked him how he felt. He told me that he 'worried' now. During the incident he was knocked down with such force that he truly believed he was seriously injured. He admitted to screaming in pain, clambering for cover. Only when checked over by his comrade was he then aware he had escaped injury and just how lucky he was. Dan is now one of the few who knows what it feels like to be shot and I am sure it is not an experience he would like to repeat, yet he still has to endure, he still has patrols to go on, operations to take part in, be part of a team.
Simply put, in light of his experiences, in my eyes, Trooper Griffiths is brave.

Bruce Willis and Emma Heming
Bruce already has three daughters with his ex-wife Demi Moore, but he was more than excited to add another daughter with his new wife, Emma Heming, into the mix. Six weeks after the birth of their daughter Mabel, Emma posted the first picture of their new bundle of joy to Twitter with the caption, "A beautiful day in Budapest with the loves of my life. Daddy and Mabel cracking each other up." And beautiful that little baby is.

New Season Underway!!
2014-2015 Season
A new season and a new era for the club. The first time in its history that its run 3 teams!!
Horfield 1 step up to the Regional League this season following their success in winning SWKA 1 last season.
Horfield 2 are holding the fort in SWKA 1 this season and will be looking to challenge for the title again.
Horfield 3, the new team on the block in SWKA 2. With the hope of plenty of new players coming through the ranks and learning from a few more experienced korfers to guide them through the season.
The club can still do with more players so if you fancy a challenge and a team sport that you have possibly never heard of then just come along to any of the training sessions. Or if you know exactly what it is and are a 6'5" Dutch or Belgium couple then please come along too :)
An exciting season for the club this season so here's to a great one and hopefully one where all 3 teams do us proud and maybe grab some silverware!!

Ryan - Great List! - Light & Simple.My gear list is very similar. I also add a few essentials - a bug headnet and a ground cloth. Would rather get pinholes in a $10 piece of material than subject my $200 bivy to the bare ground.What do you use for a water bag/bear bag? I have been keeping my energy bars in a hard-sided nalgene 32 oz. bottle, but this is hard to fit into my 700 ci weekend pack. Could use an alternative from a person who enjoys the simple life.
Michael,I use something very similar to this WaterbagIt can be made from cuben or NANO and bemade lighter.what pack do you use?have you posted your gear list, I am interested?

I have a G6 and love it, but it is just too big for weekends in fair weather.I now carry an Osprey Stratos 12. I noticed that your gear list did not have any water purification method. Do you MP1 or AM?
I like MP1I consider it a consumable thoughIf I used AM then I would count dropper weight, but the MP1 wrapper weighs less than a gram, so I dont count it
I figured. I'm an MP1 man myself.I've considered putting together a gear list, but I seem to alter my gear for every trip. Mostly because of expected temperatures at night, but seems like every trip requires less and less.I really only have two criteria for selecting gear: 1) Do I really, really want to carry this? Figure I will be hiking alone so no chance to show off my kit. Doesn't matter if it was a gift from Uncle Max or if it is the "in" thing that everyone is carrying, it boils down to the justification of carrying this particular piece of gear. 2) Will I use it every day? Doesn't matter how useful it appeared online or how clever it seems to be, if I don't use it every day then it is useless weight.This really seems to boil things down to the essentials.P.S. I know that the Osprey pack is decadent at 1 lb. 12 ounces for only 700 ci, but it just feels sooo good. I have trouble accepting the fact that my pack (just a gear container) is 20% of my load. However, I knew that I had to have it from the moment that I strapped it on! Love at first sight.
I change my list as well because of temperature. I will sometimes bring my cocoon jacket instead of vest, and of course for lower temps I add in the devotion top bag. It is kind of confusing to post a gear list
"It is kind of confusing to post a gear list"When your lists are based on weight as a primary factor, rather than multiple (including multi-season) functionality, in order to make a decently representational gear list you would more than likely need to create 3 (or 4) seperate lists for each season.You might even have to localize your gear lists to particular trips only.Your calling this a 3 season list that doesnt skimp on clothing... and for your area you might be right. But at 12K feet in one of the Colorado Wilderness areas, Id be loath to use this list for anything but high summer.
True true,I dont plan my gear based on the season, I plan on the expected temperatures. I live at sea level and most of my hiking doent go much above 4000 feet. so three season where I live is basically nights not much below 35.so here is what I thinkincluding all the clothing on my list.(two long sleeve shirts, long tights, shorts, warm hat, and a full wind suit)temps down to 45 degrees at night:Just vestdown to about 40:vest and top bagtemps down to 35 at night:cocoon and top bagtemps down to 30:cocoon and Nunatak Arc Ghostdown to 25long pants instead of shorts for hiking extra tights cocoon and ghostIt may differ from time to time, But it basically goes like this.I understand my list is more for the summer.

Changed my list.My goal for weekend trips is simplicity. So I now have a warmer sleeping bag and less clothing. that will work for temperatures anywhere from 30-40 degrees at night and for temps 40+ I will switch to a Devotion top bagless stuff
Edited by ryanf on 03/26/2006 15:55:08 MST.
My gear is also greatly influenced by the anticipated nighttime temperature. However, my main gear focus is on my reason for being out there in the first place - THE TRAIL. Rather than have a bag that I can bail into if the temperature drops, I would rather have the extra clothing layers to keep me moving down the trail in comfort and be able to extend my hiking day.I live in the Southwest and can generally plan on a minimum of 45 degrees at night for three seasons. I pack accordingly. If I'm lucky enough to find some getaway time in New Mexico where it is freezing at elevation even in July, then I bring what is needed. But that is not my normal kit.

Gov. Chris Christie continues to boast overall poll ratings that are sky-high but also puzzling because the Republican governor is seen as weak on pocketbook issues.
A new Rutgers-Eagleton poll finds that a majority of New Jersey registered voters are persistently negative toward Christie's efforts on the economy and taxes. But Christie has robust favorability and job-performance ratings driven by his post-Sandy disaster response, said pollster David Redlawsk.
Redlawsk said Christie also is boosted by New Jerseyans largely not considering Democrat Barbara Buono an option heading ...

Lowe's national partners American Red Cross and First Response Team of America on ground assisting tornado victims
MOORESVILLE, N.C., April 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Lowe's announced today it will donate $500,000 to support disaster relief and rebuilding efforts in communities affected by tornadoes, including recent storms across the central and southern United States. Lowe's is working with its national nonprofit partners to provide both immediate and long-term support to local communities impacted by destructive storms.
As part of the $500,000 pledge, Lowe's will donate $250,000 to the American Red Cross to meet immediate needs, including providing food, shelter, emotional support and other relief to devastated communities. Lowe's will use the remaining $250,000to fund projects in communities with the greatest need as identified by its nonprofit partners throughout the tornado season and as communities rebuild.
The First Response Team of America, Lowe's national disaster relief partner, has been on the ground assisting with relief efforts in Mayflower, Ark., one of the areas hardest hit by storms on April 27. Local Lowe's Heroes employee volunteers will support ongoing recovery efforts by delivering critically needed relief supplies in Arkansas and other communities impacted by storms this week. Lowe's also is assisting its employees and their family members impacted by the tornadoes through theLowe's Employee Relief Fund.
"Lowe's has a long-standing commitment to assist local communities impacted by natural disasters. Our thoughts are with those affected by the recent deadly tornadoes," said Joan Higginbotham, Lowe's director of community relations. "As we move into the peak of tornado season, we're ready to assist in future disaster relief and recovery efforts in devastated communities across the county."
As a member of the Red Cross' Annual Disaster Giving Program, Lowe's pledges donations on an ongoing basis in advance of disasters to help ensure the Red Cross can take immediate action. Since partnering with the Red Cross in 1999, Lowe's and its customers have contributed more than $25 million for disaster relief.
Donations to Red Cross disaster relief are used to help people affected by disasters big and small. Gifts enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from disasters. The Red Cross has sheltered hundreds of people this week and provided food and health services to tornado survivors across the region.
Lowe's supports the communities it serves through programs that focus on K-12 public education and community improvement projects. The company's signature education grant program, Lowe's Toolbox for Education®, has donated more than $38 million to 8,000 K-12 public schools, benefiting more than 5 million schoolchildren. Lowe's Heroes employee volunteers support local community projects and our national nonprofit partners such as Habitat for Humanity, Rebuilding Together and the American Red Cross. Since 2007, Lowe's and the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation together have contributed nearly $200 million to improve communities in the United States, Canada and Mexico. To learn more, visitLowes.com/SocialResponsibility and LowesInTheCommunity.tumblr.com.
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Economy & Business
Maybe they'll miss their friends and family?
I do not regard the poll as shocking at all. The introversive trend must merely be a natural social reaction on a certain stage of the cyclical socioeconomic alternation. When people think of their future private finance, including pension, to be precarious, they become cautious of taking personal risks.
It is prestigious for the older generations to travel or work abroad, go out or marry with a foreigner, or even just to talk with a foreigner in a foreign language. The then Japanese boys and girls wanted to go to bed or marry with foreigners just because they were foreigners. Anything international is still cool and admirable to them, probably because they had rarely seen a foreigner from their infancy to adolescence. Foreigners are their angels coming down in from another world. The mental tendency must be the most conspicuous among the MTV generation.
On the contrary, it is not necessarily cool for the younger generations to contact with foreigners as they have seen foreigners here and there and been travelling abroad since their infancy. It is much more pleasant for them to live and consume home as there are full of charming retail goods available in their neighbourhoods due to the double-edged sword of tough market competition and persistent deflationary pressure for the last two decades.
Therefore, anything foreign could hardly mobilise or manipulate the younger Japanese.
Whether home or abroad, the young have decided that they will have to live tough lives workwise, but at least the home consumption is more pleasant. How could you ever imagine that they want to take risks to work abroad while both the export market being rarely liquid due to the global competition and the life with charming goods easily available being pleasant enough? I do not think they will want to die for nothing.
The older generations interpret Galapagosisation as a kind of desert from the world whereas the younger clearly as a heaven. France has long been trying to Galapagosise its society only to fail at the massive cultural pressure from the English speaking world. Japan has been doing well relatively, sublimating the status quo into innovations such as the Galapagos keitais and their services.
There will be a change in mentality when the Japanese economy proceeds onto another stage of business cycle, but in the first place, if they like it or not, their bosses assign them abroad.
First of all, @Jan is an idiot who spent too much time in bars. Second, this survey is meaningless unless you look at the overseas transfer preferences of all nationalities, not just Japanese. One might find that Younger French workers don't want to go overseas as much either.
Now for the editorial part. Why would young employees want to travel abroad from Japan when every foreign airport terminal is an in-your-face reminder that you might get blown up by some fanatic.
I'm sure most people from other countries would find this article ironic, given that Americans have one of the most xenophobic cultures in the world and less than 30% of our citizens own passports. It's also telling that the reference points given - speaking English, attending American universities, and even being interested in the Wall Street Journal - all reference the US, not any other countries.
Japan's workers are certainly short-sighted if the cut themselves off from countries other than their own - but as fears about terrorism (note the 1:54AM posting below!) and immigrants "stealing jobs" have created a hostile atmosphere for other cultures here in the US, we are just as bad, if not worse.
You wrote: "First of all, @Jan is an idiot who spent too much time in bars". Please elaborate.
I would agree with Jan comments on "Japanese boys and girls wanted to go to bed or marry with foreigners just because they were foreigners."
But I would disagree on the France comment. French doesn't need to fail, for English to win, and vice-versa. Both can win. And by the way, French already won as for centuries already >80% of English (British) is French, or should I say Anglo-Normand. C'est la vie! Btw, I'm French
Japan is safe to live. The peace country ranking is 3rd in the world in spite of the fact that it has a large city Tokyo. It is one of the reasons that they do not want to go outside.
@American Ambassador
Now I understand what you focus on. I do not regard my remark as derogative or kinky at all. It is natural that every young person holds a strong libido. It is only the cultural trend of a certain era whether they consider foreigners as their objects. Rather, I now wonder what your nutty fury comes from. What makes you narrow-minded could be your own excessive libido.
@Jan. It's clear now. Your poor grammar, word choice and sentence structure betrays you as a Chinese propagandist. Not even Americans or Brits with a fetish problem could be as conceited as you. Only a Chinese propagandist would create insane fabrications of your order of magnitude.
@Anonymous. I wonder since when is it conventional or the right thing to accuse or categorize someone as a 'Chinese Propagandist'? Is it because Jan says "The then Japanese boys and girls wanted to go to bed or marry with foreigners just because they were foreigners"? Or is it because the article only focuses on Japanese workers? I guess accusing someone as a 'Chinese propagandist' who fabricates and spreads lies is your last ditch effort for retort in a discussion. Have fun staying inside your bubble and cutting yourself off from the rest of world by not actually communicating with people. Moron
@Anonymous: Jan's first language certainly isn't English, but his or her errors (and mild prejudices, if any) aren't what one would expect from a first language Chinese speaker at all, come to which your own collocation use (and punctuation) is pretty non-native, and it should be "Your poor grammar, word choice and sentence structure *betray* you as a Chinese propagandist". The gratuitous reference to conceited Americans/Brits is taking you well into chip-on-the-shoulder territory, too.
I'm not sure I see what's so "shocking". I would venture to say that two-thirds of any country's white-collar workers don't "want to work abroad…ever".
Too bad for them
I live in Japan and they want their country
For themselves, that's all. No Chinese, Koreans etc just Japanese.
It's their business!
