By James Holter
The Buckeye Dual Sporters is an AMA-chartered club in Southern Ohio that is rapidly gaining a reputation for putting on some of the best dual sport and adventure rides not just in the state, but in the country.
The club's events, which are part of the AMA Yamaha Super Ténéré National Adventure Ride Series and AMA KTM National Dual Sport Trail Riding Series, are known for offering the type of scenic backroads and challenging trails that only years of local knowledge and community relationships can put together.
Considering the club's well-earned reputation, a number of regional riders were understandably disappointed earlier this year when the club announced that a series of unexpected events conspired to force a rare cancellation. Fortunately, the adventure ride portion of the weekend is now back on. We caught up with club member and organizer Bill Kaeppner (right) to get the details on the event -- and talk a little about adventure riding in general, which happens to be one of motorcycling's best-kept secrets.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: So, what are the new dates for the Nutcracker?
Bill Kaeppner: We're back on for Saturday, Oct. 16, and Sunday, Oct. 17.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: Why the switch in dates?
BK: We ran into a bunch of unexpected circumstances. We had key personnel in job changes. We had key personnel in weddings. We had key personnel with babies coming. It was all coming to a head at the same time, and we decided it would be better to cancel and try to find another date than have a screwed-up event.
When everything goes right at one of these things, it's tough enough. We just didn't want to have a bad event.
Actually, with the rescheduling, we're pretty excited. It's going to be the peak of the fall colors. It will be a great ride. We have two days, one with 150 miles, and one with 100 miles, and it's all awesome.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: What kind of roads can riders expect?
BK: What we call green roller coaster roads. These are little single-lane roads that are completely under tree cover. You can't see the sky. There's old broken up chip and seal. Gravel roads. Roads that have grass growing up through them. We look for the roads that nobody knows about. We look for roads that, if you tried real hard, it would be tough to maintain 30 mph. A lot of these roads run by these old cemeteries.
If you're driving by and you see these roads, you would think they were somebody's driveway, but then you turn down one and you find it's a four-mile long ride through the country side. There's a sign on one that says "Single Lane Bridge Ahead," but two vehicles can't pass on the road, so you tell me: What other kind of bridge could it be? Hah! Some of these roads aren't five minutes from my house, and I've never been on them. I can't believe they're here!
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: Are they never used?
BK: The majority of them are township roads. These are just original roads from the turn of the previous century. Some are drivable. Some folks, not many, use them on a regular basis. Unlike our dual sport event where we focus on the X roads [Kaeppner explains that township rightaways in Ohio that aren't maintained are known as "classification X roads"] and private property, for adventure rides, we focus on regular-use, high-clearance roads. You wouldn't want to take your family car on them. You need at least a pickup truck. It's not uncommon for there to be a 12-inch height difference between the center of the lane and a tire track.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: What sort of variety can riders expect?
BK: We ride a big mix. One time, we put on an event that was all gravel roads, and folks weren't happy. So we try to mix it up. We aren't going to be on state Route 93 or 28. We won't be on any state highway. Our best roads will be single-lane service-style roads, broken up chip and seal, gravel. It runs the gauntlet.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: Are these roads for novices? For two-up?
BK: I wouldn't be afraid to ride any of these roads two-up. There won't be any singletrack or trail riding, per se, but there will be farm lanes and service roads. Someone running straight street tires might have a tough time. It won't require off-road knobbies, but a dual-sport tire or aggressive street tread would be good.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: What kind of bikes are recommended?
BK: Basically, adventure-style bikes. If you have an aggressive enduro bike like a KTM 300 EXC, you probably won't have much fun. This is set up for the rider with bigger, heavier bikes. Bikes that are 650cc and larger have a really good time. The bigger the bike, the better adventure you'll have.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: Rain or shine?
BK: These rides run rain or shine. We're going to have a great time either way. And there's free camping on site.
We already have a lot of out-of-state folks planning to come. They are sending in pre-entries, even with the date change. It's always exciting to see that level of interest. We have riders coming from New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: Where's the start? When should riders show up?
BK: The easiest way to get here would be find Logan, Ohio. It's right at state Route 93 and U.S. 33. Then, go one-and-a-quarter mile north on 93 -- it jogs through town -- and we're there on the right. Saturday morning sign up is at 8 a.m. Or, you can come Friday night and camp if you want.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: What's going on other than riding at this year's Nutcracker 200?
BK: On Saturday, in the evening, we'll have a local hog farmer do up a whole hog. We'll get out the projection TV and show some movies and have a dinner and get together and B.S.
On Sunday's rides we break into two groups -- a 100-mile loop and a 40-mile loop. That way, the ones who ride all day on Saturday can take the shorter route if they want. That lets the folks who want an early quit to have it, and also accommodates the folks who want a whole day of riding. On Saturday, everybody rides the whole thing -- 155 miles. There will be door prizes, shirts and hats. It will be a fun time.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: What goes into planning one of these rides?
BK: Well, we go out a few weekends and play. We go to different places. Club member Steve Kraft, he has become the adventure ride guy. He carries about 85 different maps with him. He's been the one who has done most of the layout. Steve and I have been out on four different weekends since late July and early August. We did a truck day once.
What we'll do is go here, here and here, and randomly ride up and down the roads and then sit down with the maps and tie them together and make a rough route card. Then we'll ride it for mileage to fine tune it.
This year, for example, we went down Wildcat Hollow, which I knew was a good road, but then we looked closer at the map and found another road that was parallel, and we dropped over to it, and it was awesome.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: Does it change year to year?
BK: Every year, we build on what we've had before, and we tie it together differently. For example, we have a different idea for next year. Because we laid this out with the idea of running along the dual sport ride, we set the adventure route to parallel the dual sport route. Next year, we're looking at doing an adventure ride that will go it's own way and will all be in Hocking County, so you'll never be more than 15 miles away. We think we can do it.
a-c.org: What makes Buckeye Dual Sporters rides so special?
BK: When you look at how long it takes to plan a dual sport or an adventure ride, it isn't just the six or eight weekends that you're riding the route. It's the months ahead of time where you're building relationships with landowners. These can be a year in the making. A lot of the things we ride in our spring ride literally took years to put together and make happen. It gets complicated when these large tracts of land are owned by family groups that require everyone's permission to ride on.
Having the right reason to put on a ride is important too. What we do is we donate to the volunteer fire departments. If anyone has any trouble in this area, it's one of three emergency departments that will help them out. So, we donate to our local fire department, and we let people know. We write articles and submit them to the local papers. That way, folks know what we're doing. They know we're not just going to be in their way on the roads this weekend. We're contributing to the community, too.
AmericanMotorcyclist.com: What advice do you have for others who want to stage something similar in their part of the country?
BK: I would never, never, never advise anyone to put on one of these events to make money for themselves. You need to have volunteers to make them happen, and if you're going to have volunteers, you need a reason to ride and a purpose that will benefit the community. This reason is substantial. It's one of the reasons you have a club, and it's what makes you part of a community.
Folks who want to make a difference for motorcycling need to be involved across the board. Go to local commissioner meetings. Go to township trustee meetings. Be known and involved in your community. That way, when something happens, you will have a voice and a vote. If the only time you're involved in something is when you're close to losing it, you're going to lose it the majority of the time.

Went looking for blue grouse yesterday. I hadn't see any birds yet and was just thinking how odd it was that I hadn't seen any deer. As I was walking through a thick patch of timber high atop the ridge, I immediately froze as the biggest buck I've ever seen alive was casually strolling through the trees fifty yards in front of me. This deer was absolutely incredible! He was wide with extra stickers coming off both sides, but the most impressive aspect was his massively deep and tall forks in the front and back on both sides that seemed to reach the sky. All I could see was horns. He had no idea I was there and if I was bowhunting, could have easily stuck him (or open-sight 30/30 if I was with Old Hunter ). He looked fake being so big and so close. I know you guys are probably gonna say prove it with pics, but since my dog was out in front of me, the buck looked back and spooked when he saw my dog before I could get my camera out. I ended up bumping into him one more time as I hunted the other side of the ridge but he was running over the next ridge.
It was incredibly frustrating not having a tag in your pocket when you run into a guy like that. I don't know if anyone on here has a 194/196 tag or what season is open currently, but I'd be glad to tell you where I saw him. You might lose your mind trying to find him in those thick trees again, but at least you'd know he's around.
Interestingly, I bumped into the only grouse of the hunt right after I saw that buck. And less than ten minutes after that I ran into a small bear that turned out to be with two other bears. Luckily my dog left them be; he didn't even seem to notice them somehow. It was a really big sow with what looked like last year's cubs. They were all a gorgeous dark brown. The three of em were just lounging out in the sun scarfing down berries and didn't seem to hardly notice me walk be by. Also, I have never seen so much bear scat in an area ever. And if the size of a bear's pile of crap is any indication of the size of the bear, there are some monster bears up there.
Pretty crazy to hike for hours in the woods and have nothing going on to suddenly seeing a world class buck, jumping a grouse, and running into a group of bears all in less than a half hour.
Here's a few terrible pics of the bears:

U-T NFL Mock Draft 2013: Chargers take tackle
Ok, so maybe it's a little early still. And we have to admit a lot will change between now and the actual NFL draft. But let's face it, the Chargers 2012 season is basically done. And, when that happens, the first thing everybody wants to know is who are they going to pick.
So here's our first version of the 2013 NFL Mock Draft. We'll be updating periodically between now and draft day.
1) Kansas City (1-10) -- Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia, Sr.
There's no doubt the Chiefs need a quarterback and Smith is currently the highest rated signal caller on most draft boards. The major question surrounding this draft: Is there a franchise quarterback who deserves to be taken this high? I don't believe so. Personally, I'd take Georgia defensive end Jarvis Jones, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o or Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel here and select a QB at the beginning of round two. Top needs: QB, OL.
2) Jacksonville (2-9) -- Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, Georgia, Jr.
Health has been an issue for Jones, but when he's on the field, he showcases the same attributes that make Von Miller nearly unstoppable. Top needs: LB.
3) Oakland (3-8) -- Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah, Sr.
Did you see what Doug Martin did to the Raiders? This mammoth -- 6-4, 325 lbs -- clogs up the middle of the field while still creating his own push. He reminds me of Haloti Ngata. Top needs: QB, LB, CB, DL.
4) Philadelphia (3-8) -- Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M, Jr.
The Eagles currently possess the one offensive line I consider worse than the Chargers. If their future quarterback -- it likely won't be Michael Vick -- has any chance at all, the O-line has to be a priority. Joeckel's performance against Alabama and LSU cemented him as the top offensive lineman. Top needs: OL, DL.
5) Cleveland (3-8) -- Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame, Sr.
The Browns are well-aware what a Ray Lewis-like presence can do for a defense. They already have a shutdown corner in Joe Haden. Te'o's instincts and passion are unmatched in this draft. Top needs: OL, LB.
6) Carolina (3-8) -- Jonathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State, Jr.
I'm sure the Panthers would prefer Lotulelei, but Hankins is a decent Plan B. He is really hard to move, has great lateral movement and eats up blocks. Linebackers Jon Beason and Thomas Davis will be pleased. Top needs: DT.
7) Buffalo (4-7) -- Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee, Jr.
Patterson, a JUCO transfer with just half a season of FBS experience, has flashed breath-taking athleticism as a receiver, runner and returner for the Vols. He's currently the No. 1 wide receiver on Mel Kiper Jr.'s Big Board. The Bills need someone to go with Steve Johnson. Top needs: WR.
8) Detroit (4-7) -- Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan, Jr.
The Lions top priority is to keep Matthew Stafford healthy. Jeff Backus -- also a Wolverine -- isn't going to play forever, and Lewan would make a great bookend for Riley Reiff. Lewan has elite athleticism for the position. Top needs: CB, OL.
9) Arizona (4-7) -- Matt Barkley, QB, USC, Sr.
The pressure here is going to be too high for the Cardinals to not take a quarterback. It may not be Barkley. It may be the quarterback -- Arkansas' Tyler Wilson, Georgia's Aaron Murray or Tennessee's Tyler Bray -- who jumps up draft boards after the new year. Top needs: QB, OL.
10) San Diego (4-7) -- Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M, Jr.
Who better to right the wrongs at left turnstile -- um, I mean tackle -- for the Chargers than the son of Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews? He played strong-side for the Aggies because of Joeckel, but like his father, he can play virtually anywhere. Top needs: OL, CB.

(SPENCER) -- Le Mars outscored Spencer 21-0 in the second half and rallied from a 21-7 halftime deficit to win their first game of the season, 28-21 Friday night at Spencer in a district 2, Class 3A match-up. Special teams reversed the Bulldogs' fortunes after halftime. Three deep kick-offs led to Spencer started their first three second half drives from their own eight, 16 and 11 yard lines. The Le Mars defense forced punts after the first two drives and the Bulldogs started both possessions in Tiger territory. Jeremy Klingbeil scored on a 25-yard run for his first career touchdown to cut the margin to 21-14 four minutes into the second half. Le Mars the got the first of several second half breaks when Spencer punter T.D. Sherman dropped the center snap and was tackled at the Tiger 29. Fullback Jake Schneider rumbled into the end zone five plays later on a nine-yard run for his first career touchdown. Conner Delfs missed the extra-point and the Bulldogs still trailed 21-20. Le Mars stopped a faked punt attempt at midfield early in the fourth quarter and quarterback Levi TeBrink raced 51 yards for the go-ahead touchdown on the first play after the exchange and with a Travis Kinney two-point conversion run, the Bulldogs led 28-21. Spencer had one more chance when Bulldog punter Conner Delfs shanked his final punt attempt with 1:33 to play in the game and netted just four yards, giving the Tigers the ball at the Bulldog 40 yard line. Spencer completed a pass on first down but receiver Dakota Baker fumbled the ball while fighting for extra yards on the play and the Bulldogs Kolin Brooks recovered to seal the victory. Levi TeBrink capped the Bulldogs first drive of the night with a 14-yard T-D run before Spencer ran off the next 21 points. TeBrink ran for a career-best 78 yards to lead the Le Mars rushing attack and was 4-for-6 passing for another 48 yards. The 1-and-3 Bulldogs celebrate homecoming next Friday with a match-up against Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley. Le Mars is 1-and-1 in district play.
(LE MARS) -- Top-rated Gehlen Catholic cruised to a 62-19 home win over SE Webster-Grand Friday night at Jim Lorenzen Field to improve to 4-and-0 heading into next week's district opener at Hawarden. Trevor Bouma ran for 244 yards and he scored on five of his seven carries. Bouma had touchdown runs of 71, 18, 12, 14 and 85 yards. Alec Mousel hauled in a pair of touchdown passes and Michael Whitehead returned the second half kickoff 85 yards for a score. Gehlen rolled up 474 yards of offense and were able to start substituting before half time.

Iowa State To Face Santa Clara
AMES, Iowa- The Iowa State soccer team travels to California to take on the Santa Clara Broncos Thursday at 9 p.m. CT. The game will mark the first of a two game road swing in California for the Cyclones, as they face Stanford on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Last time out
Iowa State defeated the University of North Dakota handily with a 4-0 route in which four different Cyclones scored. The Cyclones fired 32 shots, an all-time top-5 school mark, all while giving up only one shot to North Dakota. Senior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe tied the school's all-time shutout record with her 16th career shutout.
Scouting the Broncos
Entering the year as a preseason top-25 team, the Broncos (3-2) have faced one of the toughest schedules yet. Their two losses have come against the current top-two ranked teams in the country. Santa Clara was edged out by North Carolina 2-0 and then fell to the University of Virginia 4-0. Since their two early defeats the Broncos have strung together three straight wins. Santa Clara is led by senior midfielder Julie Johnston who has half of the team's goals in their five games so far this season. Johnston who was a 2011 first team All-American was named as a U.S soccer young female athlete of the year finalist as a junior.
What to watch for
The key matchup in this game will be how the Iowa State defense stacks up against the Santa Clara offense. In six games this season the Cyclones have only given up more than one goal in a game once. Iowa State goalkeeper Maddie Jobe not only is tied for first in the school's all-time shutouts with 16, but she currently ranks fourth in saves in the Cyclone record book as well. Iowa State will look to stop Julie Johnston and company who have outscored their opponents 6-0 after their first two defeats.
Results will be available on Cyclones.com after the conclusion on the game.

I've had great luck with some things under that tree - and lost a few things but since I can't cut down the tree and that's the only space I have to garden, will just have to do the best I can. Thank goodness for hosta and lamium, some of the clematis and impatience. Trial and error makes it a pretty spot anyway most of the time - and lots of containers. Sedum works well too - and I keep on topdressing and water a lot in summer.

Crown Installation
High above Kauffman Stadium, work on the signature crown continues. This morning, about 3/4 of the base was in place. You can see a worker at the left hand side of this photo.
By late morning, the fourth piece was installed!
Our hard hat tour enabled us to see the progress from several angles, including behind CrownVision, in front of it, and from the rooftop party deck above Rivals in right field. Take a look! We'll post other new stadium features over the next few days.
4 Comments
So awesome! Can't wait for Opening Day!
Does anyone else think the crown looks horrible? If you zoom in on the webcam, the gold parts look like they have been in a hail storm!
I'm not seeing "hail storm". Kansas City lacks an artistic, modern feel with our attractions. More and more, I am seeing sights pop up that are interesting and detailed. What I see here with the crown is KC incorporating artistic construction as opposed to erecting some cartoony looking crown. To each thier own…
Is there slight "damage" to the lower right part of the scoreboard as another blogger has stated? Also, the crown has mysteriously disappeared all of the sudden. Any reason why? Will it be put back up by opening day? If there is damage to the scoreboard will it be fixed? Or will we have to watch small chunks of video missing out of our less than two year old video board?

Like an oasis of warmth amid the cold of the wild, the Stoic Somnus 15-Degree Down Sleeping Bag brings supreme comfort to your shoulder-season camping missions. Lightweight Pertex shell material fends off the bumps and bruises of a life lived in the woods, and 850-fill down insulation protects you from the surprise of an early-fall overnight frost. Stoic dialed in the fit-and-finish details of the Somnus with a center main zipper, vertical torso baffles, and a foot water bottle pocket because it's the little stuff that can make or break a solid night of rest in the backcountry.
- Winter-weight, 850-fill down insulation provides supreme warmth without weighing down your bag
- Down insulation is highly compressible to make packing a cinch
- Pertex shell material creates a durable outer shell without a nasty weight penalty
- Center-oriented main zipper makes it simple to get in and out of your bag without having to search around in the dark
- Vertical torso baffles ensure that the down insulation stays put even if you sleep on your side
- Draft tubes prevent chilly air from entering around the neck so your heat stays inside your bag
- Zippered pocket at the footbox holds a hot water bottle to keep your toes toasty on frigid nights

Great Bag! Where's the baffle?
I love this bag, especially the center-zip! As a side sleeper, its really nice to have the center zipper. It also packs small and is so light! The only down-side of this bag is that there is no neck baffle. My friend came with me on a trip where he brought a TNF Blue Kazoo and his feathers were leaking all over my tent, while my Stoic bag didn't leak at all! It also packed down smaller. I would give this bag five stars if only it had a neck baffle.
fuzzy bunny
"Gorakshep is a frozen lakebed covered with sand in Nepal and the name of small village that sits at its edge at 5,164 m (16,942 ft) altitude, near Mount Everest.".....this being said, it is frigging freezing. just got back and thinking about gear used, this bag was a lifesaver at night. very warm and fully functional. only thing i would ask for would be a front pocket to keep headlamp, i-pod, ect.. wonderful bag for the price! good job stoic!!
Best 15 Degree Bag on the Market for Pri
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The title says it all. If you have the money, buy the Western Mountaineering Versalite. It's warmer, same weight, and probably higher quality, but way more expensive. Nonetheless, this bag is killer. Mine weighs in at two pounds. For a 15 degree bag, this is one of the lightest I have found, and believe me, I did my research. It has 19 oz of fill, compared to the Marmot Helium with 19.5. This bag weighs 32 ounces, and the Helium weighs 34. One of the dumbest things that Stoic did is give an about 4 oz stuff sack for this ultralight bag. It doesn't even cinch down as much as the bag compresses. I used a Marmot Helium bag with the somnus and it worked great. The bag is warm, and while it doesnt have a draft guard, the face cinches up very tight if you need. The bottom water bottle pocket is nice, and though I've never used it, I put the stuff sack in there when I am sleeping. Occasionally feathers will poke out, I simply grab it from the inside and pull it back in, massage the fabric, and it's good as new. Once my tent blew into a stream and my bag got wet for who knows how long. I put it out in the sun for a few hours, and it was almost dry. Not only that, but I had a warm nights rest all the same. The center zip is nice and it saves a lot of weight and packing issues. I got mine on sale for 210$, and for that price, you will never find a better down bag. If you have the money, again, the Versalite, but if you are like the rest of us, buy this.
Outside Buyer's Guide - Spring 2012
Here's what Outside had to say about the Stoic Somnus 15 Sleeping Bag:
"BEST FOR: Side-sleepers, climbers, iconoclasts. THE TEST: Center-zip bags were designed for climbers, for the ease of threading a rope while zipped. But even non-climbing testers loved the simple entry and egress, and side-sleepers appreciated not grinding their hip bones on the zipper all night. Weight savings from the half-zip - combined with top-shelf 850-fill down and diaphanous Pertex Quantum fabric - kept Somnus's weight just under the two pound mark (the four minute mile of 15-degree-rated bags). And the zippered hot-water-bottle pouch to warm your feet is clever. THE VERDICT: A luxurious, incredibly light bag at a great price."
Great Bag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This sleeping bag is amazing.
Many people have had problems with the center zip falling into their faces, but there is a flap that the zipper can be tucked into in order to avoid it becoming loose. The shell material works very well - water just beads up on it. The compression sack isn't great, so I might suggest getting a new one. I wouldn't spend the list price on it, but I got it for $210. I've slept down to 23 degrees F in this bag comfortably. Other bags with this fill weight are rated at 20 degrees, so I might rate it at that. Also, there isn't a neck baffle, which isn't a huge deal, I suppose. However, there is a zipper draft tube. This bag (in regular size) is spacious and luxurious - super silky feel.
One thing that I have found to be annoying is the cinching pulls around the hood. Those dangle in your face when sleeping.
Overall, great bag!
Stoic Somnus 15
Solid Choice
I have had this bag for a while and I really like it.
The center zip does take some getting used to. Fully zipped the cold metal zipper has been known to fall on peoples' faces, but to me that is not the end of the world. This is a known problem though, so I'm not sure why Stoic hasn't addressed it.
The size of the bag works for me. I'm short, so the length is more than adequate. I move around in my sleep and have never had a problem with the width either.
I like how small this bag packs down. The included stuff sack is really solid.
Warmth wise this bag is good, but I can't say I would sleep in 6 degree weather like the previous reviewer. I sleep cold though, so maybe it's just me. If you're a cold sleeper as well, this bag should suit you down to around freezing. Anything below that and you should pick up a good bag liner as well.
Overall, this bag is light weight and a good value if you wait for a sale. Recommended.
I love this bag. I love that the zipper doesn't go the length of the bag. I roll around a lot. So, I never end up on the zipper. It's pretty epic! 850 fill = WARMTH! I slept out in 6 degrees with this and the Stoic medium sleeping pad and I was TOASTY warm. Even in my crappy man made shelter that had a constant breeze. I'm really hyped on this bag.
Stoic Somnus 15
Bought this bag (2010 model) to take on a 5 day 4 night Backpack trip in the Cascades in Washington. It was early Oct, weather turned bad on Day 2. Low twenty's at night and snow. Bag excited my expectations. Not one cold night out of the 4! I did use a thermolite bag insert with sleeping bag. I am a warm sleeper. Bag was offered only in the 6'6" version.
Pros- Bag is Easy to get in and out of with the center zip.
Bag is light and compresses well.
Cons- Zipper has no tie down, so it will hit you in the nose or face in the night.
This model was only offered in 6'6". Lots of dead space in the bottom! I'm only 5'11" worked out alright as it was a great place to keep cloths for the next day warm.
Lightweight and warm
850 fill that packs down to about 9 inches square and weighs a few pounds. Easy to carry and warm. What else can you ask ask for? Top zip is convenient so you can let out some heat from the top and not get chilled on one side of your body. I have used this bag on 20+ mile mountaineering trips in Colorado, sleeping at 11,000 feet with temps in the 30s. I was not in the least bit cold. Not tested at its rated temperature though. I would recommend this but not at full retail price. It seems to go on sale a couple times per year.
This is my second Stoic sleeping bag...
I love it. I now have the older 30 degree, and now this one. I love the weight of the bag, and the top zipper. The material seems pretty thin, but I have not had any trouble with my 30, so I'm guessing this will work just as well. I only sleep out under the stars with these bags, and with the weight savings on these super light down bags, I've somewhat turned into a very light backpacker. Love it! (I did get the bag on sale, thgouh)
Hi Steve- how comfortable was the Somnus 30 on cold nights under the stars? I'm planning a tru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, and want to get a sense of what the Somnus 30 feels like- would it be comfortable in below-freezing temps?
I've. Used it down to 26 degrees a number of times and I love the bag but , on cold ground I had to were clothes and sox and once had to fold my sleeping pad in to for more insulation from the ground but that was on frozen ground . For the price this bag has performed well.
A little weak
Very nice bag. I got it on sale so I didnt have to pay the 350. I do have a gripe though. I noticed striations occurring on one side of my bag in the torso and the down is leaking out. I just sewed it up, but it only took about 3 uses and it was happening. Still a nice bag though, all in all.
Too narrow for a mover
I like the bag enough to keep it. It's warm and the tall is REALLY tall giving my 6'3" plenty of space to move "vertically." But it's pretty narrow meaning a back sleeper or a side sleeper option is really all you got. I tend to sleep with a bit of a jack-knife orientation - one knee out wide and I couldn't move much before reaching the max width of the somnus.
I also can't support the top zipper. In theory, it's a great idea to avoid sleeping on the zipper for a side sleeper. But I found it failed for a couple of reasons:
1. The bag doesn't always move with you. I could easily turn to one side leaving the hood flat on the ground and the zipper on top. I actually had to work the bag onto its side with me in it. This led to #2
2. The bag unzips easily. Unless I was diligent about getting the zipper all the way closed and then holding it as I shuffled, it popped open and let the chill in. I was constantly trying to rezip it.
When is it going to be back again?
When is it going to be back again?
Never, the Stoic brand is being "discontinued".

I am 6ft tall. Will I fit in a regular size bag?
You can fit in it but it says the maximum user height is 6ft tall. To be safe I would go with the long just to have that extra moving room.
Is there a draft collar? The specs say...
Is there a draft collar? The specs say there is however I do not see one in any of the pictures. Additionally reviews of other stoic bags indicate that there is none when the specs say there is.
I had the same problem with my Marmot Helium 15 bag. It says that there is a draft collar and there isn't. However, the face cinches down way tiny, so really, that could count as a draft collar. I don't have to worry about warm air escaping. It looks like this bag does the same thing, so I wouldn't worry about it.

stoicgear.com write: Insulation:800-Fill Down, but at backcountry.com - 850. May be at backcountry.com isn't correct info. How many down into the Somus 15?

Small Business Saturday
This morning, Nick was proud to read a Proclamation in honor of Small Business Saturday on November 30.
Small Business Saturday was created in 2010 to help bring in more customers to local businesses. The Saturday falls on the weekend after Thanksgiving – between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Local group "Little Boxes" is also encouraging Portlanders to "shop small." Visiting a little box and making a purchase gives you a 10 percent discount at another little box. The more stores you visit, the more entries you gain in the raffle giveaways – from trips, to an iPad, to shopping sprees.
The business holiday has become nation-wide, and we are proud to support our local businesses here in Portland. We hope you will join us and shop small on November 30!
Business License Law
Small businesses are the engine that create jobs and drive our local economy.
City Council has set a long-term goal of increasing the business owner's compensation deduction to $125,000. Increasing the deduction frees up money to expand payroll, create jobs, and invest in business growth.
Today, Nick was pleased to join City Council in unanimous approval for an Ordinance which will increase the deduction for our small business owners from $90,500 to $100,000. The change goes into effect in January 2014.

Brooklyn Bridge
Bridge over Ballona Creek
About a year and a half ago, I purchased my first fixed gear bike, at age 62. The bike is a blast. I shouldn't have waited as long as I did to ride fixed. I'm a little sorry I didn't go more old school with my choice of bike, too. (I do still have and ride my 1962 Follis, a French road bike.) The Langster is fine, though; it's lightweight and responsive and all the parts work.
I bought my bike while visiting my daughter in Manhattan (I'm from Los Angeles). This year, I shipped the bike back to NYC for another few glorious days of riding around the Big Apple.
While my main bikes are geared, I've put plenty of miles on my Langster, too. Having grown up in L.A., I have respect for traffic, but no particular fear of it. On the occasional Monday and Wednesday nights, I join a shop ride, and I find that on the mostly level ground we cover, I can keep up with the riders who are in their 20s. For me, a fast ride to downtown or the beach and back gives me a terrific workout.
Of course, when I look in the mirror, I think, "What happened!?!" Reflecting back on the sedentary lives of my parent and their friends and my relatives, I'm somewhat amazed I'm still riding at a fairly high level. Then again, I've never been especially sedentary, compared to lives my elders led. I may look my age (older, from too much time in the sun); on my bike, I still feel as if I'm 25.

Efforts are still underway to find a new tenant for the old Handy Hardware facility.
This comes as the company still owes the state of Mississippi more than $3 million. In the meantime, the East Mississippi Business Development Corporation tells Newscenter 11 it's main priority is to market the building, which President Wade Jones says is a 460,000 square feet, state of the art facility.
"We've had an inquiry or inquires on the building, so there are interested parties," Jones says. "I think more importantly, we are going to travel to Atlanta, Greenville, SC, and Dallas, where the site consultants have their offices."
Handy Hardware closed on December 31st, 2012, which resulted in more than 100 people being laid off.

There's a park around the corner from where I live, and in it grow a number of big, old oak trees. Although there was a cold drizzle this morning when I took this photo, I did notice most of their leaves are finally down. On the next dry day, I plan to head over there to rake some up into big, clear plastic bags to take home.
People think I'm bonkers when they see me doing this, but I don't care. And yes, dogs frolic freely there, so I'll wear my sturdy old rubber gloves just in case I come across any…well, you know.
Some of these leaves will be flung atop the garden beds right now to keep plants cozy over winter. (I've often wondered why people scrape every last leaf off their beds. Take a cue from nature–you don't see any leaf-blower-wielding gnomes in the forest, do you? And besides, would you want to sleep naked and uncovered on a cold winter's night? Of course not, and neither do your plants.) Next spring, those that haven't decomposed will be raked up and put into a couple of old plastic garbage cans, where they'll continue to break down into leaf mould. I'm never too fastidious about their removal, for even if I do nothing, by early summer the earthworms will have pulled most of them down into the soil.
A few bags of leaves will be stashed behind the shed at the rear of the garden, which is hidden behind a partial fence in the no-go zone I call the "back 40." Here you will also find my composters, some old pots, bits and bobs, this and that and a big pile of discarded flowering plants and annuals–overflow that won't fit into the composters). It's a bit like having a very useful, giant junk drawer in my garden. Next spring and summer, a portion of the bagged oak leaves will be trotted out and used as brown matter in my composters and as mulch where needed.
I like most leaves, but I especially prize oak because unlike many other types, such as Norway maple, they don't get all soggy and matted down when wet. They stay crisp and separate. Some gardeners believe oak leaves lower the pH of the soil, but my feeling is their effect is minimal. Still, the evergreens in my garden do seem to appreciate these leaves piled around their roots, so who am I to argue?

Infosys chairman NR Narayana Murthy on Wednesday promised action against executives earning top-dollar salaries but turning in below-par performances. Saying employees not adding value to the company may have to exit, Murthy said this was needed to put Infosys back on the growth track. Speaking at an investor call with Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, Murthy was unusually scathing about non-performing employees. A lot of fat needs to be removed, he said, noting that some of the recent executive exits had been necessary, barring a few exceptions. Since last June when Murthy returned to Infosys, there have been at least eight high-profile exits.
Underperformers, especially those earning salaries of $0.5-1 million, are to be put on a performance improvement path. We will give these people the opportunity and tools to improve, but if they dont, we will have to bid them goodbye, Murthy said.
With compensation at overseas locations, rising from 36% of revenues in FY11 to 46.3% in FY13, Infosys has been on a cost optimisation drive, especially in the US; a significant number of people, mainly in the marketing department, have been either relocated to India or asked to go.
Murthy described these steps as tough but necessary for Infosys, asserting that performance is absolutely essential. The cost optimisation drive is expected to take about 6-18 months and the company has already seen early results with the operating profit margins rising by 1.5% in the latest reported third quarter results.
Murthy, however, strongly emphasised that the exits due to this drive has had no impact on the company and added that these changes will not affect junior employees. He also revealed that two years before his return, the mid- and senior-level staff of the company were not given salary increases while the junior staff were not given increments for a year. He said the first decision he took after returning to Infosys was to ensure a salary increase of 8%, adding, salaries outside India were shooting up and those of India-based employees were stagnating.
Infosys has undertaken a three-pronged strategy; besides optimising costs, it is making sales more effective and improving delivery. Murthy said through sales effectiveness, they expect to identify the top performers and incentivise them to push the pedal on the much-needed speed to market. This exercise is expected to take about 9-21 months, he said.
Murthy said Infosys is implementing a plan of measuring each individual's

The End May Be Near for Ocean Carrier Price-fixing
August 28, 2010
The removal of the limited ocean carrier anti-trust immunity seems to be gaining support, says NITL ocean cargo committee chair, Michael Berzon.
"The National Industrial Transportation League's Washington Freight Transportation Policy Forum, Congressman Jim Oberstar (D-MN), chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives' Transportation and Infrastructure Committee announced that in response to practices by ocean liner carriers serving the U.S. trades, he would propose legislation ending the limited anti-trust immunity that remains in effect," he said.
Currently, said Berzon, it permits the ocean carriers in the U.S. trades to join in discussion agreements where they can discuss rates and capacity issues.
"If enacted, the end of the limited anti-trust immunity would follow the action taken by European regulators. Since the elimination of the EU Block Exemption, it prohibits consultation by groups of carriers to discuss rates in the European trades."

Fox Racing Seat Bag $0.00
As with any bike accessory, seat bags have their positives and negatives. They add a little bit of weight, so you may not want to use one in a race, but for recreational riding, you can't beat the convenience of having your tools and spare tubes right there on your seat. The alternative can be a real pain–turning off your music, taking your headphones out, unclipping your waist belt and sternum strap, taking off your pack, and digging through 2000 cubic inches of stuff to find a tube. It's also nice to know that you definitely have a spare tube with you, regardless of whether you wore a pack or not.
The Fox Seat Bag is a pretty simple (and therefore lightweight) design. It's made with durable, water-resistant polyester fabric. The hook-and-loop straps make installation a snap. It comes in two sizes, and the large has an extra zipper around the bottom for easier access. The small will hold a spare tube, a multi-tool, some tire spoons, and a few other small essentials. The large holds all that plus another tube.
The Fox Seat Bag comes in two sizes–Small and Large–and is available in Black.

Works Well on My Mtn. Bike
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Got this bag for my mtn. bike and no complaints so far. Glad that I went with the small as it is still pretty big. I really like that you can adjust the strap that goes around the bag so that its still tight and secure when I am choosing to carry less. Good value.
Best MTB seat bag. Love it!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This Fox seat bag really surprised me. The quality is very, very good. I've been so often disappointed in the quality of seat bags even from "big" names for my road bike.
Not here. Bought this (size large) bag for my all-mountain full-suspension MTB (with Fox Float 32 fork). I don't always want or need to take a hydration pack. This bag is really well made, features zippers that actually work, and fits everything you need: 1-2 tubes, C02, levers, patch kit, multi-tool. With a seat bag, your emergency gear is -always- there.

Opening PCC's doors to the public
Counseling center treats clients with respect
1 2 Next page >
Counseling is the second word in its name and the most important function the Peninsula Counseling Center serves.
From the time the mental health treatment center opens its doors at 9 a.m. and closes them at 9 p.m., (5 p.m. on Fridays), the administrators, therapists and receptionists have helped approximately 205 clients each day.
What exactly transpires in PCC's Valley Stream building is protected by medical privacy laws, but a few staff members gave the Herald a glimpse into what they do on a daily basis.
Referrals from doctors and schools, along with hospital discharges and walk-ins, are how clients — adults and children — come to PCC, said Associate Director Lois Goldsmith, who oversees the clinical aspects of the center. There are scheduled appointments, but if a client is "in crisis" they are seen immediately, Goldsmith said.
"We do an intake and a first disposition. That is the best way to assess the client's needs," Goldsmith said. An intake coordinator interviews the client, then the clinicians hold a disposition meeting, where treatment decisions are made.
Collaborative thinking shapes those decisions, which creates a sense of teamwork and helps both the client and the clinicians. "It helps tremendously getting what needs to be assessed to get the client what he or she needs," Ernie Dixon, PCC's Adult Unit administrator, said about the disposition meetings. Throughout the day, clients meet with therapists individually and in group sessions depending on the course of treatment.
The Meeting Place, a pre-vocational and drop-in program, seeks to get clients prepared to work and develops their social skills through an array of educational services and computer and clerical training. "'Everyone can have a productive life' is the message we convey," said Meeting Place Director Helene Goldberg.

Man charged with lewd and lascivious molestation
Published: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 1:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 1:19 p.m.
OCALA - Sheriff's deputies on Wednesday arrested a Fort McCoy man for lewd and lascivious molestation of a young girl several years ago, which included inappropriately touching the child over her Pull-Ups.
Nathan Ferrell Johnson, 34, was taken to the Marion County Jail. He was released Thursday on $15,000 bond, according to jail records.
The victim, now 9 years old, told authorities that when she was 5, Johnson came out of a bathroom wearing only a cowboy hat and socks, pulled up her dress and touched her inappropriately over her diaper and then said that, if she told anyone, he would kill her, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office report.
When asked about the incident, Johnson told deputies he "agreed it could have happened, but may have been too intoxicated to remember," the report notes.

I've done setting up all the above solution (check time, setup pop-blocked, etc). None works. And I still can't set my twitter account -_-"
Same thing on clean install of 7.1.1 build 10917 on new OEM Win7 HoPr 64. Tried in K-Meleon and IE with pop protection off, as well as syncing internet time. No joy.
As others mentioned adding Facebook API rights goes through no problem.
NOTE: The Social>Accounts>Add/Remove Accounts panel struck me as odd. Choosing 'Add Facebook Account' gives me a GUI daughter window labeled 'Add Facebook Account', all with working functionality.
Choosing 'Add Twitter Account' gives me a very different structured and visually designed GUI daughter window labeled 'Add Account via OAuth', whose button labeled 'Go To Twitter' when depressed once will cause the 'OK' button to flash as if actuated once...but only once...when it wasn't.
I'm wondering if the expected daughter window is actually 'in' the software, but the program code is calling up an older section of code...and somebody just didn't catch this bug to begin with.
Have the same problem her, but i can add a Facebook account to the social page in ZD. When i try to push the "Go to Twitter" button, nothing happend.
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Zimbra Desktop 7.1.1 (build 10917)
This is because something has changed in Twitter's certificate w.r.t ZD and was fixed as part of Bug 63596 – Unable to add twitter account in social zimlet bug.
This fix will be in ZD 7.1.2 (which should be released in a month or so).
Thanks, that would be great!
(edit: corrected typo)
I noticed you said this issue with Twitter not working will be released in a month or so. Can we confirm that? Can we just get a fix for the twitter issue? It seems like it should be a VERY SMALL fix, and I imagine since the bug was already fixed, you could simply put it out there. Can we copy over some files with a new file version? Maybe run a REGEDIT command if necessary. It seems like this Twitter NOT WORKING issue would be a pretty big issue for so many of us who are having this issue.
this isnt the issue. its a bug.

Electronic cigarettes, often called e-cigarettes, are battery-operated devices designed to look like regular tobacco cigarettes. Here's how e-cigarettes work: An atomizer heats a liquid containing nicotine, turning it into a vapor that can be inhaled and creating a vapor cloud that resembles cigarette smoke.
Manufacturers claim that electronic cigarettes are a safe alternative to conventional cigarettes. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has questioned the safety of these products.
When the FDA analyzed samples of two popular brands, it found variable amounts of nicotine and traces of toxic chemicals, including known cancer-causing substances (carcinogens). This prompted the FDA to issue a warning about potential health risks associated with electronic cigarettes.
Until more is known about the potential risks, the safe play is to say no to electronic cigarettes. If you're looking for help to stop smoking, there are many FDA-approved medications that have been shown to be safe and effective for this purpose.

Very nice!
I like the mix of fantasy names side to side with modern age / sci fi names ..
Looks like a cool campaign world for a RPG
Hello there.
So, for this map, my goal was just to make the most crisp, fat-looking mountains possible, and let the other elements, like forests and rivers, be secondary. I tried doing some coloring work, but I kept thinking the bone-color monochrome feel of the land was cooler, so that's how I kept it.
Anyway, once I had the land done, I (as usual) ended up plastering it with way too much legend, so I've included two versions of the map, one with the legend, and one without, for whichever you prefer.
Let me know what you think.
Very nice!

Really good stuff!
I really like this style Daelin, the mountains and rivers are fantastic! Sorry I can't rep you at this time.

Great work (as usual from you)! Some of the best looking mountains I've seen, and even if you weren't specifically trying, all the other elements look beautiful also. I think the only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the thick, solid borders; in my opinion they would've worked better as thinner and dashed. But that's a small nitpick and really doesn't detract from the greatness of this significantly.
Oh by the way, I think having the legend out there does work better. Helps balance out all that empty space in the ocean.
I am impressed, but cant rep again at this point. The blending of the Land features is realy stunning.
How do you create the Mountains? Are they completely handdrawn or do they requier some Rendering Programs?

Oakland Heights Elementary School hosted the Puppet Arts Theatre's presentation of Trickster Tales starring Anansi the Spider. The spider is a character in West African folk tales, which are designed to teach children life lessons.
"The children are very excited about it, because it gets them to see storytelling in real life," said principal Barbara Young. "It's a real life theater production so they get to see all of the animals as they go throughout this presentation."
The performances were in conjunction with the Whole Schools Initiative through the Mississippi Arts Commission, which helps schools incorporate the arts into learning.

California wardens are in the spotlight on TV program
Think California wardens have it easy? Think they just drive around getting fat and lazy on the job, out there just to harass the general hunting and fishing public?
If you have cable or satellite television service, you should have access to channels such as National Geographic. The same people who produce the popular TV show "Deadliest Catch" are doing a series on California game wardens called "Wild Justice," which airs at 10 p.m. Wednesdays.
If you haven't been watching, you're missing an eye-opener of what the roughly 290 wardens go through on a daily basis.
We're about halfway through 11 scheduled weekly segments. A camera crew follows these men and women day and night as they perform a little-known job.
For all practical purposes, wardens are cops. While their primary focus might be on the state's resources, both flora and fauna, they can bust offenders for every kind of legal violation there is. And on the show, they do.
If you've missed it, tune in.
Oh, where to hunt, where to hunt
There's nothing more depressing to a hunter than going into the field time and again, putting out the required effort and still not putting game into the bag. Even more depressing is not even seeing the game you pursue.
Those with limited incomes regularly scratch their heads, wondering where can they go to be halfway successful. Seeing game at least gives you the hope of being successful in bringing home something other than an empty bag.
More than one hunter has permanently hung up the gun due to one fact – that properties where there's game just seems to be inaccessible, generally because of the cost.
The California Department of Fish and Game's "California Hunting Digest" might just be what you're looking for. Originally produced in hardcopy form, it's now available online in a 43-page publication.
The California Hunting Digest summarizes the hunting seasons for upland game and waterfowl, and important laws and regulations hunters need to know before going afield.
More importantly, the digest contains links to all huntable public lands throughout the state, making it easy to download and print maps and descriptions of hundreds of state and federally managed lands.
To find the digest, go to "www.dfg.ca.gov/publications/digest."
Or, call (916) 322-8911 for a hardcopy version.
Current fishing
It's the time of year when most anglers don't want to travel far from home. And, you don't have to. There's good rod-bending action within a close drive.
Camanche Lake: Trout fishing is the best thing going, especially with the weekly plants, and limits are the rule. Throughout the winter, they're planting triploid – or sterile – trout, which are known for their size and growth rate. Some are hitting four and five pounds. And they're putting 90,000 pounds of those trout in the lake and pond. You don't have to venture far from where the fish are planted in the North and South Shore areas. I've always done well south of the island in the straights east of the South Shore area, up into the Narrows. Most are toplining, and just about any flashy lure will work. However, keep changing lures until you get bit regularly. Or, use a threaded night crawler, always good for trout. The South Shore pond is a hot spot for those soaking chartreuse Power Bait.
Few are trying for bass with the good trout fishing. Plastics being drop-shotted, however, should entice bass, which are holding down about 30 feet.
Sacramento River: You don't have to travel far. Those anchoring between Freeport on the upriver side to Courtland downriver generally are limiting on stripers along with an occasional sturgeon. Several baits work, like pile worms, eel, the various shrimp baits and mudsuckers.
Folsom Lake: Few are venturing onto the lake because of rain, wind and heavy fog. Fishing is slow for just about everything. For bass, fish with your scope first. Find balls of baitfish and then spoon or drop-shot. You'll probably spend more time looking and watching the scope than actual fishing, though. There's a king salmon and trout here and there, but you'll burn a lot of gas trolling before getting bit. The dam to Dyke 8 has produced the few that have been caught.
Sierra lakes: There are pretty good snow depths in much of the mountain range already, but it just hasn't been cold enough for lakes to freeze over. Don't go onto a lake's icy surface before it's safe. Every once in a while, there are reports of an angler lost due to ice giving way.
Boca Reservoir: This popular ice fishing lake is wide open, and anglers are fishing from the rocky shoreline around the dam and finding a bite.
Caples Lake: Another popular ice fishing lake that has wonderful success has ice forming but is still a few weeks from being safe to walk on.
Ice fishing is coming. Just hang in there a little longer.
