Another new map for you this week. This time it's the random pedestrians you can meet on the street. There are 14 of these guys in total, and ten of them are required for 100% completion. They add up to 22 extra missions to the game (assuming you're able to take missions from all of them) so if you need any help finding them, or completing their missions, check out the detailed map and text guide.
As usual, I ask that no other webmasters use this, or in fact any of our maps on their own website without asking me permission first.
Remember to check out our ever expanding Guides Section.

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

text: Im trying to decide on my 2nd choice since the odds of drawing my first choice are pretty low this year. I think i have it narrowed down to units 16, 18 and 21 mostly based on draw odds and % of public land. My biggest concern is access to the public land. 21 has the most public land but alot of it is getting into the bighorn mountains and im wondering if there are many antelope in that area? Just wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts on these areas.

Ned Yost media session: July 22
Prior to opening up a three-game series vs. the Tampa Bay Rays with tonight's 7:10 contest, Royals manager Ned Yost discussed the lineup switch between first baseman Eric Hosmer and left fielder Jeff Francoeur. Hosmer will be batting fourth in the lineup and Francoeur will bat fifth. Yost said that he simply wanted to separate left-handed and right-handed hitters to make it difficult on Tampa Bay's bullpen that sports three left-handed relievers in Cesar Ramos, Jake McGee, and J.P. Howell.
"You can set your lineup depending on a starting pitcher anyway you want but it's the depth that they have in the bullpen with their lefty relievers, we're just trying to make it a little more difficult," Yost said.
Yost explained that veterans Billy Butler, Jeff Francoeur, and Matt Treanor are great hitters to place in between rookies such as Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas within the lineup. The Royals skipper commented that he wants the squad's rookies to face left-handed pitching to help develop their hitting while giving the Royals squad protection with their veterans in the batting order.
"It doesn't have anything to do with if he [Eric Hosmer] is hitting this week, is he hitting better today, is he hitting better tomorrow. I think he can hit, I think he can hit left-handed pitching," Yost said. "I think Moose [Mike Moustakas] is going to be able to hit left-handed pitching really, really well. It's just the protection issue around those guys."
When it comes to the recently recalled infielder Mike Aviles from Triple-A Omaha, Yost says he sees Aviles as a utility player. Aviles will be used in various infielder positions and pinch hit and run situations. Yost praised Aviles for his versatility and good instincts on the bases and looks forward to giving infielders Mike Moustakas, Alcides Escobar, and Chris Getz resting days throughout the season and placing Aviles in the lineup. Yost mentioned Aviles will probably get the start this Sunday at shortstop to give Escobar a day off in the sweltering heat.

Kelly Osbourne and former Sugar Ray singer Mark McGrath have joined the cast of the "Sharknado" sequel.
The TV movie about a freak storm that rains killer sharks on Los Angeles became a phenomenon when it debuted last year and stars Tara Reid and Ian Ziering have already signed on for a New York-based follow-up.
They will be joined by Osbourne, McGrath, Vivica A. Fox, Andy Dick and Judd Hirsch, according to Deadline.com.
Reports suggest McGrath will play the brother-in-law of Ziering's character Fin, while Osbourne has been cast as a flight attendant.
Returning to his TV roots in "Taxi," Hirsch will portray a cab driver in "Sharknado 2: The Second One."
Filming is scheduled to start later this month and the sequel is expected to hit TV screens this summer.

LeBron Excited For Game 7
James looking to cement legacy
June 20, 2013
MIAMI — LeBron James could not sleep after Game 6. Imagine, then, how frayed his emotions will be going into Game 7. So much is at stake. Legacies, for so many players, James included....
GEE! I always thought there are more than one on a team. We try to teach our kids "Team Work" but usually only one player is mentioned

UBC Opera The Florentine Straw Hat By Nino Rota
David Agler, Conductor
Nancy Hermiston, Director
The Florentine Straw Hat is an exhilarating comedy based on the famous nineteenth century French farce which inspired René Clair's classic silent film An Italian Straw Hat. Nino Rota - who was also a celebrated composer of film music, including The Godfather and many films directed by Fellini - co-wrote the libretto for Il Cappello di paglia di Firenze and composed the music in 1945. His witty and brilliant satire on the petty conventions of respectable society is presented in music in the tradition of Rossini, Puccini and Verdi.
The farcical story concerns a bridegroom's quest to replace a straw hat eaten by his horse. Unfortunately, the hat belonged to a married lady who was dallying with her lover, and she fears discovery if she returns home hatless. An unpromising start to a wedding day!

'Valentine's' Redux: George Lopez and the Cast of Garry Marshall's New Comedy Sound Off
At 48, George Lopez has starred in his own hit sitcom, amassed a loyal following over 27 years as a stand-up comic, and, most recently, joined the suddenly contentious ranks of nighttime talk-show hosts with Lopez Tonight on TBS. Why not add a surefire blockbuster to his résumé?
That's what Lopez was thinking when he joined the A-list cast of Valentine's Day, in which he co-stars as a florist's assistant with Ashton Kutcher, Julia Roberts, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner and Jessica Alba, among many others. That, and he wanted to work with director Garry Marshall.
'Valentine's Day' Serves Up Sugary Holiday Cheer
Valentine's Day is as much about director Garry Marshall's love of Los Angeles as it is about the popular pagan-inspired holiday. And give the man credit — he's nothing if not thorough in showing it. Here, he has gone out of his way to make room for a cattle call of Hollywood stars in a fairy tale that makes a passing pretense of cynicism before giving most of its luminous cast their happily-ever-afters.

The mission of the Pittsburgh Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program is to increase participation and interest in baseball and softball among underserved youth through instructional and competitive play, while encouraging youth to achieve academically, demonstrate good sportsmanship and contribute positively to the community.
The Pittsburgh RBI program began in 1994 as a part of Major League Baseball's international RBI initiative. During the 2014 season, Pittsburgh RBI included more than 950 area youth in 10 different communities throughout the greater Pittsburgh area. The RBI program focuses on the development of positive members of society through baseball and softball. Throughout the summer, Pittsburgh RBI teams compete in the City of Pittsburgh Department of Parks and Recreation BIG League.
In addition to regular season play, two Pittsburgh RBI All-Star teams, a Junior Boys team (13-15 years old) and Senior Boys team (16-18 years old), will travel to Cleveland, Ohio to compete in an MLB-sponsored regional tournament. The Pittsburgh RBI All-Star teams will be competing to qualify for the annual MLB RBI World Series in Arlington, Texas at Rangers Park.
The Pirates Community Baseball Center, which officially opened in February 2007, hosts over 1,500 youth each year. This facility, which is part of the Shadyside Boys & Girls Club, is designed to assist Pittsburgh RBI youth in developing baseball and softball fundamentals and techniques.
In 2014, the Pirates' ball-girls will conduct an instructional softball clinic at Chioda Field for all ages in June. This instructional clinic is designed to help softball players within the Pittsburgh RBI program develop various techniques and skills to improve their play for the upcoming season.
The Pittsburgh RBI Program emphasizes the importance of education by providing various education programs throughout the season. Pittsburgh RBI youth will attend the "Skills that Pay the Bills" program offered by KPMG of Pittsburgh which is a financial literacy program. Youth also had the opportunity to participate in programs including the Jackie Robinson Art, Essay, and Poetry Contest, and a new program called "Coaching Boys into Men" Program. The "Coaching Boys into Men" program is designed to help shape the behavior of young male athletes, ultimately preventing violence against women and girls.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, in partnership with the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, has selected the Pittsburgh RBI program to receive an equipment grant of $5,000. In late August, the Pirates will complete an on-field ceremony at PNC Park including representatives from the Boys & Girls Club and youth within the program. In addition the grant, the Pittsburgh RBI program will host an equipment drive at PNC Park accepting new and gently used equipment.
Over 2,000 Pittsburgh Pirates game tickets games were provided free-of-charge to players, coaches, and volunteers of Pittsburgh RBI, many whom have never had the opportunity to attend a professional baseball game.

ISU Survives in Fast-Paced Win Over K-State, 91-85
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Naz Long scored the final four points in the last 0:16 seconds to give No. 16 Iowa State (24-7 overall, 11-7 Big 12) a 91-85 victory over Kansas State (20-12 overall, 10-8) Thursday at the Big 12 Championship in Kansas City, Mo.
The game had everything. A total of 11 ties and eight lead changes occurred and the pace at the end was frenetic. Long made a pair of free-throws with 0:16 seconds left and then capped the game with a lay-in in the final seconds to seal the victory. The win was ISU's 24th this season, tying for the third-best season victory total in school history.
Long scored nine points in the final 2:47 in the game, including a huge trey which gave the Cyclones the lead for good at the 2:47 mark.
Melvin Ejim led the way with 24 points and 10 boards en route to his 32nd career double-double. He had help, however, as four other Cyclones scored in double figures, including an outstanding game from Dustin Hogue, who had 19 points and 10 boards.
Kansas State got off to a hot start, making 6-of-8 from the field and 3-of-3 from downtown while forging an early 17-11 lead.
A 6-0 run by ISU tied the score at 19-19 and the Cyclones took a 33-28 lead with 4:51 left in the first half after Melvin Ejim buried a triple.
Iowa State added to its lead when Monte Morris converted two steals into a pair of easy fast-break buckets to help the Cyclones go ahead 44-36 with under two minutes left in the half. However, KSU scored the last five points of the first period, capped off by a Marcus Foster trey in the closing seconds.
Foster had 16 first-half points for the Wildcats.
KSU shot 55.2 percent from the field in the first half, but ISU neutralized the Wildcats hot shooting by forcing nine turnovers and scoring 11 points off of them.
The Wildcats kept their hot shooting going in the second half, moving ahead 64-61 with 9:43 left in the game. ISU then scored five-straight points behind an Ejim trey to retake the lead at 66-64.
Moments later Georges Niang joined DeAndre Kane on the bench with four fouls at the 9:00 mark of the second period.
The game went through four ties and four lead changes in the next six minutes. ISU went ahead 76-72 on an Ejim drive to the hoop with 5:02 left in the game. However, KSU tied the score at 76-76 moments later after Kane fouled out with 3:55 left in the game.
Keys to the Game
Points in the Paint. Iowa State has been an aggressive team all season with its ability to drive the ball into the lane. The Cyclones did it again today, registering 46 points in the paint. The Cyclones have outscored 12 of their last 13 opponents in the paint.

Cyclone Game Ball Goes to…
Melvin Ejim. The senior posted his 13th 20-point game of the season with 24 points. He also grabbed 10 rebounds in the game. It was Ejim's 32nd career double-double. Ejim was handed the Big 12 Player of the Year trophy prior to tip.
Ejim started slow, but picked up his play late in the first half. Ejim ended the game 8-of-19 from the field and 2-of-5 from 3-point range.
The win was Ejim's 84th he's played in during his ISU career, breaking the record for winningest player in school history.

You could have been Sandra but now you're Mischa

Meg Ryan is only 3 years older than Sandra Bullock. Only. And yet... This is Meg today at the opening ceremony for Istanbul Fashion Week. It's like she's 70 and wearing a wig. This face, those lips, that chin... remember how cute she used to be? I've attached a photo for comparison. Full Story

Most experts agree that if there's one area of the face where the signs of aging show themselves first, it's the eye area. This is because the skin around the eyes is much thinner than the skin on the rest of the face. The thin and delicate nature of the eye area leaves it much more vulnerable to lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity. Menscience Androceuticals Eye Products were designed specifically for the difficult challenges of the eye area. Even though men's skin is much thicker than women's, the eyes still face multiple concerns due to the exceptional thinness. Not even being a man can help escape the woes faced by the eyes. Menscience Androceuticals Eye Products contain high quality active ingredients which penetrate into the skin, delivering results-oriented formulas that quickly reduce the symptoms of aging.
In addition to lines and wrinkles, the problems of puffiness and dark circles are often reported by men. Menscience Androceuticals Eye Products work to tackle all of these issues. Puffiness occurs when fluid builds up under the eye area. This problem tends to be more pronounced in the morning after waking up and is made worse by factors such as lack of sleep, alcohol and poor diet.
Even young men can experience concerns around the eye areas and many men want to do what they can to prolong their youthful look. Menscience Eye Products can be easily added to the recommended skin care system from Menscience Androceuticals. This ensures that all of the skin from head to toe is properly cared for.
Menscience Eye Rescue Formula can be a real life saver when it comes to the eyes. This treatment product is formulated specifically for the eye area and is designed to tackle all of the major concerns reported by male consumers. Many men find that over time, their eyes look tired. This in turn makes them look older and run down. Menscience Eye Rescue Formula revives the eye area to restore vibrancy and life to the entire face. Because most men agree that a heavy and greasy feel is not desirable, Menscience Eye Rescue Formula is formulated to penetrate easily and leave no residue on the skin. Once absorbed, you won't even know it's there.
Menscience Eye Rescue Formula is very effective at helping the skin tissue retain vital moisture. This plumps up the eye area and smoothes out wrinkles and lines. Dark circles often occur from weakened capillaries that pool blood under the eye area. Menscience Eye Rescue Formula uses a combination of effective ingredients that strengthen the skin and brighten the entire area to diminish the look of those unsightly dark circles. Natural extracts along with essential nutrients encourage a better defense against aging and reduce the look of puffy under eye bags. Menscience Eye Rescue Formula is a protective product that helps prevent damage from the environment. This helps ensure a healthy eye area going forward.
Menscience Eye Gel Mask is a special cool/warm therapy eye mask that instantly reduces dark circles and puffiness. Just 15 minutes can make a big difference.

A new film, "Muse – Live at Rome Olympic Stadium," is set to make history at the box office by becoming the first concert movie shot in the ultra-high definition format 4K.
The film will hit 20 city cinemas around the globe on Nov. 5, before expanding to 700 theaters worldwide the next day.
Muse frontman Matt Bellamy admits the footage is so clear fans can see every wrinkle and out-of-place hair.
He says, "There's weird things like hair and stuff that you probably would never pay attention to. It's so much more noticeably sharper that it's almost unsettling at first."

Lightweight, cost effective rain shell.
- Waterproof
- Good price
- Light and packable
- Pit zips
- Breathability could be better
I picked up the Marmot Precip because I needed a lightweight and packable waterproof shell that wouldn't break the bank. I use it for everything from around town when it's raining, summer backpack trips in the High Sierra and Cascades, AND climbing trips.
I knew from previous reviews that the jacket was not the most breathable, however the pit zips allow me to regulate my temperature during exertion. If I pay attention to my level of exertion and open the pit zips accordingly then I'm usually okay in this jacket.
For the price this jacket is hard to beat for my needs. The hood fits over my climbing helmet just fine and the drawcords allow me to cinch it down pretty tight when necessary. I do wish that the jacket had tabs attached to each zipper (pits, pockets, etc.) that would make it easier to use with gloved hands. I like that it easily packs into its own pocket and I can clip it on my harness on climbing trips in case the summit is cold and windy.
I find the fit true to size. It's not baggy nor is it too snug. You can easily layer under this jacket. I love the bright red color and the styling works for around town as well as the trail. Another reviewer got wet in this jacket, but I've never had this jacket leak.
Welcome to Trailspace, Matt! Thanks for sharing your Precip review with us. Where was your picture taken?

Price Paid: $76
Jacket's interior was wet in any conditions. Even with pit zips and main zipper open, jacket wets out within minutes when hiking. I really can't recommend this jacket for any use.
- Can be found on sale cheap
- Lightweight
- Attractive colors available
- Not breathable
- Wets out quickly
- Wicks water from wrist up interior of sleeve
- Hood adjustments provide odd fit
- Poor quality mesh pockets, poorly sewn
I purchased this rain jacket for use on the AT next year because it was relatively light and at the time had good reviews. I have used it for 6 months in a variety of conditions with poor results. Wet out occurs within minutes in the rain during hiking. Even at rest with pit zips open, wet out occurs rapidly.
No matter what layers I wore, I always felt cold and damp in this jacket. Trying it as a windbreak layer during dry weather still resulted in excessive dampness inside. First rain jacket that had my clothes wetter when wearing it than when I just walked in the misty weather without the jacket.
Generic fit but does have tabs to cinch wrists closed and storm flap over main zipper. Large pit zips are only slightly helpful, they can't beat the moisture that rapidly builds up in this poorly breathable jacket. Hood is large and I could never successfully adjust it to a comfortable fit. Mesh pockets were poorly sewn and became useless after several times wearing it because the seams separated.
Besides the almost immediate wet out problem, the jacket also leaked along some seams. The interior fabric will quickly wick water soaking the interior of the jacket. This is most noticeable in the sleeves. If the cuffs get wet the water is wicked up the inside of the sleeve giving you very wet arms.
At this point I only use the jacket when walking the dog in the rain and even then it is very disappointing. I can't recommend it for any use.
Edit 3/2/2015
I decided to wash this jacket and refresh it with Nikwax Direct TX spray on waterproofing in an attempt to make it usable. After testing it on a rainy hike, my son decided to keep and use it. It performed ok at repelling rain and well at repelling wind.
It still retains the cons listed, but since it now functions better as a raincoat I am upping the star rating from 1 to 2.
If you are looking for a super simple storm shell,…
Fabric: Marmot precip
Price Paid: $45
If you are looking for a super simple storm shell, then you've found it with this. It's exactly what I was looking for. The jacket isn't full of bells and whistles, so if you need more than two hand pockets or fancy adjustments look elsewhere.
The pockets are placed in just the right spot to be fully usable with a pack on and they are mesh inside. They are large, running down to the bottom hem. The jacket has pit zips to open up when a bit of ventilation is needed. Combine these with the mesh pockets on the front, and you'll be nice and breezy.
The hood has a draw cord adjustment and the visor doesn't collapse on my face when I sinch the hood down. The bottom hem has a simple drawcord adjustment as well and the cuffs are elastic with velcro closure for a tight seal.
The packability is nice, packing down to the size of a softball and weighing very little. The jacket does retain a slight bit of warmth which is nice during a chilly rain and it's sized generously to fit over a fleece or other insulating layer. Perfect for the winter.
I read some reviews that say this jacket leaks all over but I have not experienced any such problems. Dry, light, packable and simple. 5 stars. One of my all-time favorites.
I purchased this jacket in the fall of last year.
Price Paid: $100
I purchased this jacket in the fall of last year. I have worn it in several different situations since then and it has more than met my expectations. It has kept me dry in everything from a short walk in the rain to a torrential downpour on the Buffalo River in Arkansas.
Each time it has done exactly what it was designed to do. Even in the winter I stayed warmer with a light fleece under the Precip than a buddy who had a $300 North Face winter coat. They also look as well as they function.
Overall a great great product. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. My girlfriend liked mine so much she went out and bought one as well!

Has survived five storms so far.
- Packable
- Pit zips
- Light
- Tuck away hood
- Durability?
Needed a new packable rain shell that could actually breathe while hiking.
I had an old Sierra Designs packable rain shell before they added pit zips. It was like one of those sweat suits you wear to lose weight.
Found this Marmot on sale and me and my girlfriend got them.
We survived a whole night and next day of torrential downpour on a backpacking trip. I hiked for miles in the pouring rain in this thing and never felt too hot or sweaty. Kept me super dry.
It makes a great wind breaker too.
Survived extreme desert winds while hiking and camping.
I bust it out every time it rains to go out and never use an umbrella.
Looks nice enough for the office as well as the great outdoors.
I can't speak for the durability yet. It is thin (hence lightweight, pack-able) which is what I was looking for. I did have to watch out while hiking through vicious desert plant life that was trying to steal my jacket from me.
It feels comfortable wearing with a full pack and you don't even feel it when wearing it alone.
It's roomy enough to wear over a down sweater jacket but not too bulky.
My girlfriend felt it kept a flattering shape while still allowing layers.
It packs into it own pocket easily.
Has an adjustable hood and plenty of pocket room for storage.
Velcro adjustable cuffs.
Draw cord waist.
The hood rolls up into the collar if you don't need it.
Collar is high to protect from wind (and make you look like a break dancer).

Fantastic rain jacket. So much so that after losing my first one a month ago, I have just forked out for a replacement. I have also $400 eVent jacket sitting in my cupboard and use it for day to day wear.
I picked the Precip as I really wanted a jacket made from breathable material and that's properly vented. I have walked in the rain just in a t-shirt all too often because of overheating. This jacket solved that problem and at a reasonable price.

Great rain jacket.
- Kept me dry
- Lightweight
- Breath-ability
- Will lose breath-ability over time
- Special wash cycle
I have used this jacket extensively and would definitely buy it again. Picked it up for $70 at the end of season sale at Gander Mountain. I tested immediately on a warm(er) January rainy day. Kept me dry and fit great.
I used it for a 50 day thru hike. It worked well in the rain and as an alternate lightweight jacket for the cool mornings. Fit well, has not shown any wear through all of this.
Only drawback I can tell is that it does need to be washed regularly. As you perspire, it will lose its breath-ability, long before (in trail terms) that you think you need to wash it. So if you use it, wash it. There are some special instructions on gentle wash cycle that I have followed and that brought the breath-ability right back.

Great so far.

I live in the SF Bay area and we haven't had much rain but the little we have had I've been dry. The jacket it light, packable, and versatile. Good big pit zips to help with breathability and it's roomy to fit over many layers.
The reason for 4 stars is just because it's new and it has been dry here so it's only been used a handfull of times so, it needs to pay some more dues to get 5...maybe this spring??

Great rain jacket for the price.
- Lightweight
- Packable
- Waterproof
- Some moisture retained inside
This is a great rain jacket which has benefits over its competitor and lesser quality models.
- Ample room inside.
- Maneuverable fit.
- Hoods are large these days to accommodate helmets — seems to be a trend most everywhere.
Jacket is packable and lightweight with quality fabric. Some moisture can be retained inside during heavy rains and high humidity. It's not Gore-Tex, but, the price is competitive and you can find it on sale, in selected colors, as I did.
It is well worth the investment. I wouldn't be without it. I wear it, and bring it with me as a precautionary measure. I also own a Gore-Tex Pro shell jacket, with much heavier fabric, for other intended purposes where abrasion resistance is necessary.
The PreCip is a tried and true proven jacket over the years. If you're looking for an all-around rain jacket, which can act like a shell for use in all kinds of weather, the PreCip is my choice. I even purchased one for my wife afterward. Look for the sales. You can save around $30 or more.

As a rain jacket it worked fine when hiking with clothes that would absorb the moisture from the inside during the spring and fall. But when I would run during the winter in N.C., I would find it as wet inside the jacket as on the outside due to my sweating.
- Fairly rainproof
- Good price
- Wind resistant
- Doesn't breathe
- Makes a krinkly sound, especially when cold.
I bought the Marmot PreCip Jacket for $99, and it was a good rain jacket when I was hiking or backpacking in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina during the spring, summer, or fall. When used running during the winter in N.C. I found that at a high rate of exercise it didn't breathe at all and if I stopped after 2-3 miles I would become chilled, which can be dangerous in the wild.
The cuffs adjust with Velcro which works fine. The hem can be adjusted with cords, which I never needed to use.

Purchased the Precip in February '12 ($99) at REI. The jacket exceeded my expectations on my 18-day trip through the Smokey Mountains in March. The jacket was exceptional at keeping out the H2O. We encountered several t-storms with heavy rain and the Precip performed exceptionally.
My only complaint is that the jacket does not vent as well as other hard shells.

After a year of moderate use the jacket has begun to leak a bit around the zipper. (Not horrible.)

After trying a few hardshell rain jackets, I thought I was just going to be left out in the rain. Everything was too hot! and nothing really would breathe.
I bought the Precip and have not been happier! It does have sleeves that are a bit bigger, but the jacket has all the right features that will keep you dry and make you happy. I use this often and it is always packed away in my day bags and backpacks. I have yet to get any condensation on the inside and also have yet to get wet.
I have tested it in heavy snow and rain and truly this has been my favorite poncho! I will be buying my wife one soon.

The large was way too big but about the right length. I ended up going for the medium size. For the price, no other rain shell come close!

Price Paid: $99
So far this jacket works just great. I have been in light rain, heavy rain and snow with it and have stayed perfectly dry. It is extremely lightweight and it works pretty well as a windbreaker as well. It isn't extremely warm but I dont expect it to be.
I like the design overall. Adjustable hood is great but part of me wishes it had a drawstring around the hood. It would add a little weight but wind tends to blow it off my cranium. The pockets are in a little bit of an awkward spot but not a big deal.
It has vent zips under the arms that work great for breathability. The drawstring around the waist is nice along with the velcro/elastic wristbands. Don't understand why some people hate it.
I would recommend, it especially for the price. If I were more patient I could have gotten one for 50% off ($50) at Backwoods but $99 is comparatively cheap for such a nice jacket.
I've owned my first Precip jacket for six or seven…
Fabric: Precip wp/b
Price Paid: $90
I've owned my first Precip jacket for six or seven years, and it still works great as an inexpensive, lightweight, waterproof/breathable shell. It is not as waterproof as top-level GT, but unless you're going to simply stand about in a downpour, it works very well.
In fact, it works so well that I bought a second, similar jacket from Marmot about three years ago. It, too, continues to function well for similar purposes. The primary differences between the two are improved abrasion resistance and an inner snow skirt on the second jacket. The latter sees more use in cooler seasons, the former in spring/summer. One or the other is in my gear on every trip, day hike or backcountry.
Fit is relatively trim, but able to fit over a medium-weight fleece, and the length is enough to keep from freezing one's midsection when bending, etc. The zippers work well. Quibbles are that there is on neither jacket an exterior vertical-zipper chest pocket, a feature I really like and miss here.
Another important point that helps me like both: when the hook-and-loop closure on the wrists of jacket number two started not to function well (the hooks apparently just didn't like the loops--I don't get it, but there it is), I called Marmot customer support and--Shazam!--actually got customer support rather than customer blow-off. With nary a hiccup, the rep suggested that I send it back, and they'd fix it. I did, they did, and it's just like new.
Performance and customer support have made a fan of me.

I own two of these jackets, one sized larger to go over an insulating layer. They both have kept me dry under a variety of conditions from drizzle to heavy rain/hail, and wet snow storms.
Two weeks ago I hiked in the rain for several days in the South San Juan Wilderness and seldom took the jacket off, it kept me dry and comfortable the whole trip. I generated a lot of body heat carrying a pack at high altitude and the large pit-vents did a great job of letting perspiration out.
In the winter, I use this jacket while snowshoeing when it's snowing and as a wind block over a fleece. When I'm not wearing the jacket it usually travels hanging off the outside of my pack where I can get to it without digging for it- I haven't noticed any unusual wear.
I've had these jackets for 3 years. A very good jacket for the price.

Bought the Precip Jacket and Pants for a light pair of rain gear, tired of carrying my heavy Gore-tex gear. I must admit that I haven't had it out in a heavy long downpour but in every other area, windy, rainy and cool, it has worked well. Since I live in the NW I know I will get the chance to walk in heavy rain with it.
I paid under a hundred dollars for both the coat and pants so I not only can't complain about the quality for the price but I also like the weight of the two garments for backpacking. I would probably still use my Gore-tex for winter ski tours and early spring, very wet, or late fall hikes.

I've had this jacket for almost a year but until recently I have not had the chance to test it. I live in North Texas, where it never rains, but when it does, it's a monsoon. During the lighter rain the PreCip will do just fine, but if you find yourself out in the rain often, spending more money on a rain jacket will be well worth it.
As for people like me who live in semi-arid climates, the packability and performance of this jacket should be fine. It gets clammy and is not as breathable as the thin material would suggest. But it's superlight and works fine for its purpose. It's just not a severe weather shell. As for fit, it can be cinched down easily and allows for great flexibility.

It's frustrating when you see that this jacket gets award after award every year, and that most of the people who buy it love it, but the one that I own is absolutely useless.
I don't expect it to preform like 3 layer Gore-tex, but at least keep me dry in the rain from the parking lot into the store! I would NEVER take this jacket into the backcountry. When it snows it wets through, when it drizzles it wets through. I don't know how anybody can say this jacket is waterproof. I mean I never even get to the breathability issue.
Even after the full Nikwax wash treatment, water beads only minimally the first few times you wear it in the lightest rain, and after that its wet through city. Garbage, absolute garbage.

Simple, straight-forward design. No complaints.

Fully zipped and carrying a pack it breathed well enough to keep me feeling dry. My inner layers felt dry as well. Kept the rain and snow out and was a toasty shell for hanging around camp during the fall rain/snow storm I tested it out in on its initial trip. Can't go wrong on this one!

This jacket is a nice shell to take out on cold days with a chance of light rain. Throwing a long sleeve shirt with a fleece is great for the late Fall when it's 40 degrees out. The model I have is a few years old so I'm not sure how current this review might be, but I thought I'd share anyway.
I like the jacket but I have some issues with it:
1) Every time it rains HARD I get wet. The cuffs and hem are the first to get wet as they seem to soak up the water, not repel it. I've seen this on other posts and totally agree with them.
2) The zip vents don't seem to do a great job venting. If I wear it without a long sleeve shirt under it, my arms are just as wet as if I weren't wearing the jacket. The only difference is my arms are warm.
3) The wrinkles! When you unpack it the jacket is completely wrinkled. I don't much care much but it looks like I pulled it out of a wet dirty clothes pile.
I would only recommend this jacket to someone that plans to use it on occasion in light rain only.

I owned this jacket for one year, after I tore my trusty L.L. Bean Packable Gore-Tex raincoat.
Despite what the jacket advertised, the "waterproof, breathable" material that the PreCip Jacket was made of retained a lot of heat and was not breathable either in hot or cold climates; I found myself sweating every time it rained.
After about 8 months of wearing it on a regular basis, it no longer was waterproof. The fabric itself became saturated with water whenever it rained. I returned it after I got fed up with being soaked all the time. (Thank you, REI!)
I bought a new North Face Gore-Tex, and have been happy for well over a year and a half now; it is equally lightweight to the Marmot PreCip, breathable, and 100% waterproof.

Very lightweight and compactable. When I summited Mt. Adams and cleared the fasle summit, I was blasted by the wind. I walked around trying to find a rock shelter, finally took of my pack, my sweat frozen to my skin, slid into the PreCip and I felt instant relief.

Price Paid: $99
I have owned a PreCip since 2002. My wife and daughter have them as well. It is a fantastic jacket and we all love wearing ours. I have worn mine kayaking in blinding rain, as well as backpacking in the mountains. It holds up well and does keep you dry. It is extremely light in weight, folds up well to pack away and has good ventalation.
My ONLY complaint of the jacket is this: If you wear it a lot, then the oils in your skin around your neck penetrate the white lining material and it will eventually turn the inside collar brown. Continuing to wear it will cause the white inside liner to start peeling off in small chunks. My wife's PreCip is starting to do the same thing. I had to use McNett's Seam Grip and put on the inside collar to keep from the lining wearing out. The next model up, the Oracle, has a better collar and solves this problem.
In summary, this is a great jacket and is wonderful to wear. It just doesn't get the miles out of it that a $100 jacket should, in my opinion. That is a great disappointment from a Marmot product. If you can afford it...go ahead and get the Oracle. I have one of those and love it dearly! It does live up to a $150 jacket and the collar on it works great. Watch closely and you will find the Oracle on sale marked down to $99 from time to time...

I went for a leisurely 45-minute walk in moderate rain and found that the jacket leaked, especially in the seams around the wrist cuffs and on horizontal surfaces (tops of forearms and shoulders). I wore a cotton T-shirt and found that it became soaked in these areas. My bare forearms were drenched with the fabric adhering to my skin. I started to get cold from the the dampness. I licked my forearms to see if it was perspiration or actually rain -- no salty taste so I concluded that it was rain and not sweat.
I think this is a great jacket in all other respects and situations. It is fantastic for a light shower, but failed me miserably for the very reason I bought it -- waterproofness.
Jacket itself is great, waterproof as any other breathable…
Price Paid: $99
Jacket itself is great, waterproof as any other breathable item, generous venting, lightweight. My only complaint is the hood -- does not have easy way to wrap up or fold up. Flops around when not being worn, especially in a wind. I understand this may have changed in later editions of the jacket. But for functionality, I give it all the stars.
Finally, a jacket I really like! I have two other…
Price Paid: $90
Finally, a jacket I really like! I have two other breathable shell jackets and while they work well, they're just too heavy and bulky to bring along on summer hikes. I also have a 9oz non-breathable jacket and while the weight is nice it's really unpleasant to wear.
The Marmot PreCip on the other hand is near perfect. It's breathable, light, and it's waterproof. I got really dumped on for several hours by heavy rain a few weeks ago coming down off Mount Russell, but this jacket kept me dry. I was also considering the REI Ultralight Rain Jacket but it was a tiny bit heavier and more expensive. I have no regrets about buying the Marmot PreCip. It does the job.
The PreCip sacrifices nothing in water resistance…
Fabric: Nylon with w/b coating
Price Paid: $79 (on sale)
The PreCip sacrifices nothing in water resistance to be light weight. It packs down **really** small, so there's no reason to be without a wind/water resistant shell. It does get wet inside, but I think that is more from perspiration that isn't dissipated than it is from rain (and I've worn the jacket in some heavy downpours). Flip the thing inside out and liner and the thing is dry in 20 minutes or so. While it is not as breathable as Gore-tex, it will still transport moisture; I've been able to dry damp/set polypro type shirts when wearing them underneath the pre-cip. The nylon somehow seems to become... dunno how to describe it, exactly ... stretchy... when wet, but that doesn't compromise the effectiveness of water resistance. Zippers work great. The pit zips are effective (I use them a lot). The hood is a bit small for a standard size climbing helmet; it will cover the helmet, but just barely.
I'd say the PreCip is a bargain. Not as beefy as a good Gore-tex mountaineering parka, but excellent wind/rain protection when you need to travel light
I needed a new gore-tex jacket and decided to try…
Fabric: Somethin waterproof
Price Paid: $99
I needed a new gore-tex jacket and decided to try something less costly than the traditional 3-layer gore-tex shells I wear. The PreCip is great. Have had it out on four summits in the Northeast; all trailless, with snow and temps of 20 to 45. Not quite as breathable as top end gore-tex, but will do just fine. The simple construction, vents provided via pockets and pit zips, and the weight (12 ounces) make it lite, dry, breathable, simple, functional and less than $100. This is all I use now. Very nice!
The jacket is awesome w/full pit zips, storm flaps…
Fabric: something that's waterproof
Price Paid: $99
The jacket is awesome w/full pit zips, storm flaps and circular velcro to reduce weight looks great. water just beads and drains off it you remain perfectly dry.
A $99 packable, lightweight, waterproof, breathable…
Fabric: Something they say is waterproof and breathable - we'll see
Price Paid: $99
A $99 packable, lightweight, waterproof, breathable jacket -- from Marmot?! I was doubtful until Sports Afield recommended it. We'll see how breathable it is, but waterproof it is. I found out the hard way camping at Roaring Brook Falls in the ADKs on 5/5.
Fully taped seams, great hood!, full pit zips, stows into its own pocket, and great looking. Quality is also first rate for entry level gear.
So far Sports Afield is right -- it is a bargain. That $99 was at the Mountaineer in Keene, NY. May be able to do even better online.
This jacket is fine in a light mist or for wearing…
Price Paid: $99+tax
This jacket is fine in a light mist or for wearing around town. However, out on the trail it gets wet inside and feels clammy. Good for light use only. The way the hood folds up is a bit awkward and the jacket doesn't "hang" right when you're wearing it unzipped.
Also, the pockets have velcro on the flaps and that is a hassle -- better to just get a jacket with waterproof zippers in the first place. This jacket is only one step up from a cheap rain poncho.
My recommendation is don't waste your money; spend a little more and get something that really works as advertised.
Stay away from this jacket if you ever plan on being…
Price Paid: $70
Stay away from this jacket if you ever plan on being in the rain!
The Marmot PreCip has been a huge disappointment. I was expecting a jacket that could withstand a little more than a drizzle. But after multiple times of using it only a half hour I immediately have a wet head and my sleeves are starting to get wet. The jacket does keep off fog and light water splashes, but if the material gets touched the water sticks to the fabric and begins to seep in where ever it is touched. I could have just bought a cheap poncho and stayed dryer.
The hood also closes up weird. It looks like a little bonnet! The ties cinch like a hooded sweatshirt but the bill flowers out not protecting your face at all.
I bought the Precip as a package deal along the Precip…
Price Paid: $99
I bought the Precip as a package deal along the Precip Pants for a backpacking trip to New Mexico a few years back.
My overall experience with this jacket wasn't as expected. I found that while it did keep me mostly dry during the afternoon rains it was terrible at wicking away moisture from bare skin and was not breathable at all. Sometimes if felt that i was better off with out it on. However it was wind proof and was able to keep me warm during colder nights (only because it retained so much body heat).
It seems from the reviews and from personal experience that the Precip is a hit or miss. My tentmate who had the same jacket loved his, so buyer beware. I've kept mine in storage for a few years and have brought it out for when i needed a lightweight windproof shell for an outer layer, for that purpose it's fine but otherwise if you're looking for a versatile rain jacket look other places.
On a side note the Precip rain pants were phenomenal. I still use them to this day on with sweatpants for snow.
Light and reasonable priced. NOT WATERPROOF. Took…
Light and reasonable priced. NOT WATERPROOF. Took it on a fishing trip to Canada and had 7 days of cold/wet weather. In a steady rain the jacket began to leak in cca 2 hours leaving me wet and cold. Was glad to have my poncho and used it instead for the remainder of the trip. I replaced it since with heavier but waterproof HHenson Raincoat/Pants.

IPW-with DS we just kept spitting in the sink when we brushed his teeth and told him to do so, eventually he just got it. DD just copied DS and us right away. Not sure there was anything else to it beyond that.
I'm loving this weather (except from all this pollen)-spent a wonderful weekend outside in the yard playing with the kids.
OT-for those of you with minivans-do you love them? Anyone have one and not recommend it? I'm debating repalcing my 9 year old small SUV- and debating if I want a bigger SUV or a minivan...would go with a Honda car. I've never wanted a minivan-but that was really only because I never wanted to be the "mom jeans wearing mini van driving" person. Are those sliding doors worth it????

Last night im upgraded our company zimbra server from 8.0.3 to 8.0.4.
The upgrade was completed without any error in no time.
However i notice that the 'java' process eat the cpu much more like in the previous version.
The zmlogger process also eat 100% cpu time after a while, plus the web UI noticable slower, for example after i click to a mail folder the browser unresponsive for a few seconds.
Im completely disabled the logger feature, this can help a little but the web UI still slower than the 8.0.3 version.
Also our users report that the new version slower than the previous.
Anyone have a new experience with this new zimbra version?

Personas used to work in the following way on both the AJAX Web client and the Outlook connector (in my case, Outlook 2003 SP3 w/ all current MS updates): I had a number of external POP accounts defined as well as corresponding personas (identical "From" specified in both external account and persona definitions, the latter so that I have something in the drop-down "From" list on the web client), and in every case, replying in Zimbra to an email fetched from one of those external accounts would automatically set the "From" address of the reply to the one specified in the relevant persona and/or external account definition; no specific "Reply-To" header needed to be set. Very convenient mail management feature, especially if you have multiple email accounts and don't want to leak your other email addresses to a recipient, but after my Zimbra provider upgraded past 5.0.6, it no longer worked. I've done all the usual things my email: downgraded the connector, upgraded the connector, each time synchronizing a completely new Zimbra connector local store.
These automatic features of personas and external accounts no longer work; my Zimbra provider can't understand why.
Can anybody suggest local and server-side avenues to resolving these problems? Using Zimbra to manage multiple email accounts is a major feature for me.

Acknowledging that Meridian is a highly competitive grocery market, Ron Sinclair, vice president of marketing for Foodmax said a new campaign to lower prices is aimed at increasing its market share.
Company executives from Birmingham were in Meridian Wednesday to execute the changes.
Sinclair said research showed most customers do not like to go from store to store in order to save money.
"Going through sale papers and having to shop around at different locations, everyone's busy and to be able to come to one store, get a great low price every day on every item that's what customers wanted, that's what we've provided here," Sinclair said.
But he acknowledged the company's new price policy is in direct response to the local competition.
"Based on the size of Meridian there's a lot of competition here and that really pushes us," said Sinclair. "Competition is good because it pushes us to become a better business and that's what we feel we've been able to accomplish here."

An intramuscular (IM) injection is a shot. The needle goes into the muscle to deliver medication. This is usually done by a doctor or nurse. Sometimes, your doctor may teach you to inject yourself. IM injections are deeper than injections given under the skin.
Some medications are better absorbed when given in the muscle. Other medications may be given in the muscle if you are unable to take them by mouth.
Some examples of medications given using an IM injection:
Complications associated with IM injections are:
inject yourself
Depending on the medication, there is usually some discomfort at the injection site. Soreness in the muscle is also common.
Tips for minimizing pain include:
Follow your
doctor's instructions
for general care.

Play your tiles to score big!To start, select six letters at random, then play your letter tiles on the board to create a new word. Each play must cross one of the words already on the board. Each letter is worth points, with rarer letters like X or Z having the highest value. Pick your computer opponent's difficulty and jump in!
1. Try for the BingoBlue squares are letter multipliers, and red squares are word multipliers. So a square with two blue dots is a double letter and a square with three red dots is a triple word. Play all six letters in one turn to get a "Bingo" bonus worth 50 points.
2. Word ListsWord game veterans are probably familiar with words like XI or ZA or QAT, but you can always click on the Word List to find all valid two- or three-letter words.
3. Play Parallel WordsRather than simply intersecting an existing word, it's often better to play a word parallel to one already on the board, creating three or four new words and lots of points with one play!
