Better bag than even pricier ones!

It's a shame that the Stoic brand is no more. Hopefully backcountry will continue with more than just apparel under the Backcountry.com brand.
After almost 4 years, my bag has seen at least 150 nights and probably more like 200. After 3 summers in Alaska as well as camping everywhere from the desert to the Sierra this bag comes with me anywhere I go. I will often reach for this over my Marmot Sawtooth 15 even if I know it will be on the cold side at night. The loft is slowly dropping, but not nearly as much as I would have expected after as much use I've put it through and the price I paid.
I still use the stock stuff sack as it will compress down to almost nothing., which is surprising for a 650 fill bag. I hope this bag keeps on kicking for years to come. I keep wanting to pick up either a Western Mountaineering or a Feathered Friends bag as a replacement, but have hard time doing so since this bag just won't die.
If Backcountry is listening, please expand the Backcountry.com line to more than apparel!!
Great Sleeping Bag!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Ive used these bag for everything. I love that it is super lightweight, but durable. Its been used on sand, in tents, on concrete, and in grass. I have a Klymit Inertia X-lite and it fits perfectly inside the bag. After backpacking Europe for 2 months with this bag, I can safely say that it will do the job!
Darn! This bag rocks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Its warm, light and afordable. I am bummed that BC is droping the stoic line. Better bag than my sierra design down.
Never freeze
I never froze!!! In Yosemite high country near Mt. Conness temps around 18 degrees Fahrenheit and in a 2 man lightwedge Marmot tent, sleeping in my underwear, I was warm in this sleeping bag. I am warm sleeper though. Know your comfort level before degrade a product.
I froze
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used this in the Uintas in the summer. I think the temps dipped into the upper 30s. I am a cold sleeper. I froze, even with long johns and all my layers on. I was shivering in my bag and I could not sleep. I wish I could return it. Alas, I purchased it on steep and cheap.
stoic vamp 30
the stoic vamp 30 is a great bag for the price and it doesn't weight that much
Great Bag,Great Price!
Bought this bag in an attempt to lightin some backpack weight.I have a Big Agnes that I really like but it's a little heavy for a 5 day trip.This bag did the job .The bag was absolutely warm and comfortable,no need for anything but shorts in 45 degree weather.Backcountry rocked the pr$ce and I would definitely recommend this bag.I shopped for quite some time before deciding on The Vamp!
Great bang for the buck
I used it for the first time and found this to be a great overall purchase. My previous bag was a North Face Cat's Meow 20 degree synthetic bag and I was looking to shed a bit of weight and volume. Compared to my last bag, the Stoic is lighter and packs smaller, plus it's a lot more comfortable. Having a long (without a significant weight penalty) makes it feel much much roomier, and sleeping on down makes it feel more like a real bed, just a tad bit of luxury. I also feel this is warmer than the cat's meow, I used to wake up cold in the morning if it dipped down into the 30's but this past weekend I felt perfectly warm in the new bag.
For the negatives, I'd taking off one star for the compression sack as the seams on one strap ripped the first time I used it. Others have commented on this one too, so although it'll be replaced under warranty I get the feeling I'm going to have to invest in a sturdier one. Also I'm not all that crazy about the green color, but that's not too big of a problem.
Great dry-climate bag
I'm 6'5" tall and weigh in at 215lbs so I'm not the littlest guy around. I'm lengthy and have broad shoulders. I bought the long version of this bag and it fits me perfect: head to toe and shoulder to shoulder with just the right amount of space to side-sleep or toss and turn without corkscrewing the bag. I am a bit of a down-snob too. I don't like synthetic as it is much heavier and does not pack down nearly as easily or tightly as down does. I can get away with only using down because I primarily use it in the dry climate of the desert Southwest where prolonged rainy whether and dew build-up is rather rare. I work as a professional hiking guide so I spend several weeks at a time sleeping under the stars in this bag. I have slept in this bag down to 34 degrees in just my boxer shorts and was totally warm. I've also slept in this bag in 90 degree temps which was warm but with the zipper open it was still comfortable. It's super light, and as far as I can tell was well constructed with quality materials and 600-fill down feathers. I really like the way the flap along the zipper has been reinforced so it doesn't get sucked into the zipper. However the zipper itself seems a bit cheap and I am not convinced it will last forever. It hasn't failed me yet but sometimes hesitates to zip up at first which can be slightly annoying. This is why I can only give it 4 stars. Otherwise I would have given it 5, which I rarely do for any of my gear as it is almost never perfect. I would recommend this bag to anyone who does a lot of dry climate camping or just needs a quality down bag at a really great price.
Sick to the Max
This Stoic bag is SICK! So warm and comfy even with temperatures dipping below the twenties. Get a different compression sack and you can easily get it down to even a smaller size. As for weight, I have yet to find a bag for this cheap that weighs less and provides more comfort. Stoic Vamp 30...get it!
Stoic Down Sleeping Bag
I used the stoic 30 degree down sleeping bag this weekend. I loved it. It compressed really small and is super lightweight. It fit perfectly at my bottom of my backpack. It kept me very warm and was comfortable. The only con about this bag is that it sometimes had a hard time zipping up and down. Other than that, this is an amazing sleeping bag and i would highly recommend it.
Great Bags...Especially for the $!
Got two Vamp 30 Bags a few months back on my way out of SLC. One for me and one for my fiancee. We have used them nearly every weekend since then. Bottom line is they are amazing bags for the $. You cant beat it...Plus they look great and they and small and light for backpacking.

Stoic vamp 30 degree bag
I used this bag on an overnight camping/hiking trip and found it very comfortable.It was early June in North Carolina mountains and I started the night on top of the bag with the bag open for quick entry once the temps dropped. When I got cold and started into the bag the zipper disconnected and I had to find my glasses and light to reconnect the two halves which did not line up correctly. I finally got the zipper back together and drifted off to sleep Lesson learned: Don't unzip the bag all the way down. Lined it up correctly the next morning and all is well. Great bag for the money. Lightweight and small for the backpack. Haven't tested the warmth with a cold night yet but feel with the sea to summit liner it will do well.
Great for the price
I thought I was rolling the dice when I paid so little for this bag. It turned out to be a good gamble. This bag is warm, light, and very compressible. The price made my ultralight transition much easier.
Really Good Bag for ridiculously low price
I've had this bag for over a year now and bought it on SAC for around $80. I'm a huge fan of down and if it means spending a bit more for better quality, lower weight, and higher compressibility, I'm all about it. I use this bag for most of the year and has never let me down. I can get it down to the size of a softball in my Sea to Summit dry sac and it lofts up in a few minutes. There are lighter options out there but I don't think i'm ready to plunk down an extra $100 to save on a few ounces, especially for a summer bag. (This is a different story in the winter, where compressibility comes into play). The pertex material is great as it can shed the occassional spill pretty easily. I've taken this bag into the high 30's and 40's with no problems whatsoever, but I usually use a silk liner but still I've never gotten cold in this bag. The previous reviewer mentioned the water bottle bag and I agree completely that its useless, I'd rather have it in the bag with me. I also like the fact that it's a full length zipper because in the summer, i like to sleep with it open and that wouldn't be an option in the half zip varieties. One negative comment, I recently noticed a small tear in the seams where the zipper is, but it doens't seem like it's where the down is so no leakage so far. Overall great bag for the price. Again if you have the cash you could buy a better bag, however for me it's not enough of a difference to justify it.
one more thing: the specs say there is a draft collar and that's incorrect there is none.
what size compression sack would you recommend for the long version of this bag?
Does The Trick
Warm, light, and super packable. I naturally run pretty hot and with long johns and a wool baselayer, I was comfy all night sleeping in the desert last month.
Very Impressed
WOW! Very impressed with everything about this beautiful bag. Couldn't wait to get out and put it to the test on The Foot Hills Trail. It stuffs and packs down just as it says. It's clean looks match its awesome silky feel and attention to detail quality. Best zipper I've ever seen! And this bag weighs nothing!! I am 6' and went with the long. With as much room as there is, I imagine the regular would have been fine but I'm loving the extra wiggle room. SO comfortable! Did not get cold enough to utilize the foot box warmer (bottom zipper) but in the upper 40's it regulated perfectly wearing just about nothing. I am very happy with this bag!
Great deal, solid bag.
I've been super pleased with this bag. I have last year's model, but they seem to be the same. This bag is my first down bag after using a variety of synthetic bags from 0-30 degrees. The bag is fairly light. Heavier than an 800 fill bag, but a lot cheaper and still pretty easy on the back. And it's still is lighter and packs smaller than a comparable synthetic bag. Where I've been most impressed, however, is how warm it's kept me even when the temperature drops. I've slept in this on snow at below 30 more than once and been quite toasty wearing winter base layers and the Stoic Hadron. I've been as comfortable as friends in 0 degree bags. I thought this bag was pretty neat from the first, but after a year of pushing the limits on how cold I'll take it I'm even more impressed.
My only complaints:
Pretty roomy around the torso (could be a pro I suppose, but I think it'd be warmer with a little less dead space)
Foot zipper and pocket seem pretty worthless to me. I'd take them out to save a little weight.
I wish I'd gone with the 800 fill, but that's not really a downside of this bag. At the time I was on a budget and this fit the bill. Now I'd appreciate the lighter weight.
Overall, highly recommend.
Also, at 6'2" the regular was the right length choice. And the stuff sack is really convenient and has held up well. Though I don't compress it 100% because there's not really that much to gain; I'm more concerned about weight than volume in my pack.

This will be my first "nice" down bag. Is it standard practice to apply water repellent to your sleeping bag?
Does anyone recommend applying it or not applying it to this bag in particular?
Nope. I wouldn't apply any water repellant finish or anything, you want it to breathe at least a little. If you'll be camping where it can get wet, I would just camp in a tent/bivvy
I completely agree with Thomas, the less the bag breathes the less comfortable your sleep. Also, some waterproofing eventually flakes off; I would imagine this would happen even quicker with a sleeping bag that is put in a compression sack. I myself have a stoic bag and love it - you will too. Happy Camping! Hope this helps!

I am concerned about the circumference of this bag. shoulder at 66" is great but the waste at 57" and foot at 30" seems small. I am 6" tall and 220#. Should I be concerned about the 30" circumference at the feet. Just how tapering is this bag?
I have to admit I like this bag, it's great quality for the price. But, the foot space is a bit confining. It's fine for a mummy bag but if your like me, it takes some getting used to.

6. if you can't/don't want to post your defense, it would be appreciated if you would tell us so we can move on to the next case
7. since each case can take up to 2 days, if you have recently gone, wait at least a few hours and give someone else a turn.

More recently, on May 3, the collection spawned a one-of-a-kind concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
It was a truly mammoth undertaking. Though not all 31 songs from the record were performed, you could still hear David Byrne, The Dirty Projectors, Bon Iver, The National, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, My Brightest Diamond and Feist, often in unique configurations.
The lively dynamics of the night made for some wonderful pairings and odd duets: Feist and Bon Iver, David Byrne and The Dirty Projectors, David Byrne with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, The National with My Brightest Diamond and Sharon Jones with everyone.
Dark Was the Night is a 20th-anniversary benefit collection put together by the Red Hot Organization, which has been using the power of pop culture to fight AIDS since 1989. This particular compilation was brilliantly curated by twin brothers Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National, who also curated the concert.
There are a few bits missing here that were part of the live event. Sometimes, a live performance is best left at the venue, but what we have here are all the performances that the artists are most proud to present.

Our mission is to help families build and protect wealth within their home.
Protect the Environment
Going solar is a great way to reduce the carbon footprint. Buildings are responsible for close to 35% of all carbon emissions in the U.S. and going solar can decrease that number significantly. A typical residential solar system will eliminate 3-4 tons of carbon emissions each year - roughly the equivalent of planting over 100 trees each year.
Reduce Your Energy Costs
The cost of your electricity is a large portion of the overall cost of your home or business. With a solar system you'll be creating a reduction in your energy costs or will completely eliminate it all together over the span of 25 yrs. Even if you don't produce all the energy that you use, you will still begin to see your utility bills decrease. Ultimately, whether reduced or completely eliminated, you are saving money either way!
Increase Your Property Value
Several studies have found that buildings and homes with solar systems have higher property values, sometimes selling twice as fast and at a premium over similar homes in the same neighborhood. Appraisers are increasingly factoring solar systems into the value they place on a home. As appraisers and consumers are more educated, homes and commercial properties with solar systems will get even higher evaluations.
Protect Your Assets
Protect your most valuable asset, your family... ERS offers "elite" home security and cutting edge smart home technology. Learn how your entire home can be at the control of your fingertips, 24/7!
We offer financial services within the area of real estate, mortgage, insurance and now home services where we're providing energy efficiency and renewable energy options to help increase family home savings, eliminate debt and build and protect wealth.

A state bill that would have stripped the Boy Scouts of America of its tax exempt status if passed has been tabled by the California Legislature.
State Senate Bill 323, a proposal that would have amended the state tax code, was tabled by lawmakers on Thursday. Introduced by State Senator Ricardo Lara in February, SB 323 adds "gender identity" and "sexual orientation" to the list of groups that a youth organization cannot discriminate against when determining membership.
"Notwithstanding any other law, an organization organized and operated exclusively as a public charity youth organization that discriminates on the basis of gender identity, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or religious affiliation shall not be exempt from taxes imposed by this part," reads SB 323's amendment to the current state tax code. more >>
Focus on the Family will be cutting additional staff this year, keeping with a recent trend found with the Colorado-based pro-family organization.
Monica Schleicher, director of public relations for the Colorado Springs ministry, told The Christian Post that part of the cuts were due to a new business partnership.
"We've…decided to partner with the Ambassador Advertising Agency to syndicate and distribute Focus radio products. This impacts our in-house agency, Briargate Media, and as of Oct. 1, 2013, Briargate will no longer distribute Focus radio products," said Schleicher. more >>
A Mississippi-based socially conservative group has suspended its boycott of The Home Depot after the retail giant purportedly discontinued its support of gay activism.
Although the AFA has declared victory in the matter, a spokesman for The Home Depot has denied that any changes have been made to the company's position. The American Family Association announced last Thursday the suspension of their "Boycott Home Depot Pledge," which was started in 2010 and garnered approximately 740,000 signatures. A spokesperson for the AFA provided The Christian Post with an official statement from Tim Wildmon, president of the organization.
"We have been monitoring Home Depot quite closely, and there is no doubt that at the corporate level the company has withdrawn major financial contributions to gay activist organizations," said Wildmon. more >>
The U.S. State Department will be reaching out more to religious leaders and communities at home and abroad, Secretary of State John Kerry explained as he announced Wednesday a new Office of Faith-Based Community Initiatives within the State Department.
"I want you to go out and engage religious leaders and faith-based communities in our day-to-day work," Kerry told State Department workers. "Build strong relationships with them and listen to their insights and understand the important contributions that they can make individually and that we can make together."
The new office will be headed by Dr. Shaun Casey, professor of Christian Ethics at Wesley Theological Seminary. An expert on religion and politics, Casey wrote a 2009 book on religion and the 1960 presidential election. During the 2008 presidential campaign, he worked on encouraging evangelicals to vote for then-candidate Barack Obama. more >>
Recent reports reveal the costly socio-economic and human reality of four decades of gendercide in China. Gendercide is sex-selective abortion, which has resulted in the murder of girls (born or unborn) at disproportionately higher rates than boys. Gendercide is a direct result of China's One Child Policy.
If the consequences of China's policies are not seriously heeded, tragedies of unknown proportions will occur in America—as they are already occurring around the world.
In 1964, the first national Family Planning Office was established to oversee China's fertility reduction program, which included implementing a One Child Policy (one child per couple). To enforce the policy, the government instituted mandatory birth control and abortion (often referred to as "remedial measures"). more >>
National Religious Broadcasters President & CEO Dr. Frank Wright asked members of Congress investigating the IRS over its alleged inappropriate scrutiny of conservative and faith-based groups to focus on First Amendment protection for such organizations.
"As Congress investigates these incidents at the IRS, and others that may surface in the days ahead, I ask that you emphasize the First Amendment rights of non-profit religious organizations and churches, which gives them constitutional authority to operate free from government entanglement," wrote Wright in a letter sent to House Speaker John Boehner and other Congressional leaders, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.
"Pernicious targeting of faith-based organizations by any state actor must not be tolerated," Wright added. "These IRS cases before the nation today appear to be just such entangling, oppressive, and constitutionally unsound situations that must be protected against." more >>

You Say Karela, I Say Bittermelon; In Flushing, Finding Common Ground in a Riot of Ethnic Foods
By DEAN E. MURPHY
Published: May 29, 2001
After eight months in Flushing, Queens, squeezing, shaking, sniffing and tasting, Erin H. Moriarty has learned a few things about the leaves, flowers, twigs, stems, roots, tubers, rhizomes and other plant life that draw shoppers from across New York to the end of the line on the 7 train.
First, yuck. ''Some of this stuff is scary,'' Ms. Moriarty said. Grass jelly drink comes to mind.
Second, yum. ''There are some very nice desserts,'' she said. Like black sweet rice wrapped in banana leaves and doused in coconut milk.
Third, no thanks. ''People offer me food all of the time, but I am not daring enough to try most of it,'' she said, spitting out the salty crumbs of a dried yogurt ball from Afghanistan.
Yuck, yum and no thanks, when taken collectively, make some big statements about the culinary habits of many of New York's newcomers, the kind of things that census tallies and demographic data do not quantify. In one small and unscientific sampling, Ms. Moriarty, the gardener in residence at the Queens Botanical Garden, is studying immigrants who shop in Flushing through the fruit and vegetable stands they frequent.
Her main conclusion is that much of what goes into the stomachs of many of the newest New Yorkers may seem exotic -- at times even revolting -- to the city's more tenured residents. But on closer examination, the plants that bind us are actually more bountiful than the plants that divide us, she said.
In the language she knows best, Ms. Moriarty has discovered that for every durian, a spiky tropical fruit from Southeast Asia that can be as smelly as a fish market in the dead of August, Flushing's ethnic markets offer many more papayas, the sweet yellow fruit that is popular in dishes prepared from the West Indies to the Philippines.
''People are always emphasizing the differences between cultures, but when you look at what we eat, you will see that there are a lot of the same basic foods, just prepared differently,'' said Ms. Moriarty, who is compiling an ethnographical survey of Flushing's downtown, which is among the most vibrant ethnic shopping districts in the city.
Her notion of vegetable diplomacy is illustrated not only by the obvious, like onions, hot peppers, tomatoes and rice that spill from the bins at any number of the markets catering to immigrants from China, Taiwan, Korea, India, Afghanistan, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and a host of Central and South American countries.
The message also comes by way of less likely ambassadors, including a gourd that looks like a green hedgehog with spiny warts and a tail.
It is known at Patel Brothers, an Indian store on Main Street not far from the botanical garden, as karela, its Hindi name. But a variation of the same plant is called bittermelon at the nearby Winmark Supermarket, which caters mostly to Chinese and Southeast Asian customers. Sometimes named bitter gourd, it grows in tropical areas around the world, including East Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and South America. In many households, it serves as both food and traditional medicine.
''You fry it in oil with salt and pepper and garlic,'' said Suresh Patel, a regular shopper who moved to Flushing from Bombay. ''The Indian ones are smaller than the Chinese ones. All of them are very bitter.''
Another of Ms. Moriarty's goodwill messengers is the pear-shaped chayote, a tropical gourd cultivated centuries ago by the Aztecs and Mayans of Central America that can be found in New York in equal abundance in the grocery bags of Asian and Hispanic shoppers. The gourd's unusual appearance -- its name in Cantonese describes the folded hands of a praying Buddha -- has helped make it hugely popular among New York's Chinese, Vietnamese and Cambodian residents, she said. The shoots, flowers, seeds and roots also can be eaten.
The cross-cultural culinary list goes on. There are cabbages and squashes and eggplants and melons and bean sprouts and roots that vary in color and length and weight and texture but whose basic characteristics transcend geographic and ethnic definitions. One of Ms. Moriarty's favorites in the Chinese shops is the yard-long bean, which is essentially an ordinary string bean that kept growing.
''You chop it up and put in a stir fry like anything else,'' she said.
Fenugreek, an herb common in Greek cooking, is sold at the Mediterranean Food and Gift Center on Northern Boulevard; the same leaves, known as methi, are kept in a cooler at Patel Brothers. Greek shoppers also use rosewater, which is distilled water flavored with rose oil, as an ingredient in desserts. At Patel Brothers, rose syrup from Bombay is sold as a sweetener.
Hospitality may not be a plant, but it also seems to follow Ms. Moriarty's thesis about Flushing.
When she dropped in at Shun An Tong, a Chinese health food store on Roosevelt Avenue, one of the owners, Lin Su, filled a paper cup with ginseng tea and opened a box of red dates.
''This is good for your stomach,'' Mrs. Su said with that familiar look of a grandmother warming a pot of chicken soup.
Outside, a curbside tofu vendor, known to Ms. Moriarty only as Mr. Chen, dipped into his vat of warm bean curd, filled a plastic cup and offered it to her with a healthy topping of honey.

The state believed Byron Scherf, the suspect in Saturday's killing of a Monroe prison guard, was unlikely to act out in prison. Prison officials also declined to provide him with sex-offender treatment he requested.
Eleven years before Byron Scherf became the chief suspect in the strangling of a Monroe corrections officer, a psychologist had concluded Scherf was "unlikely to act out within the institution."
Summarizing the psychologist's report, a state board that reviews inmate sentences described Scherf, a serial rapist, this way: "He is in fact much more likely to behave as a good, trouble-free, helpful inmate than a violent inmate."
The board added: "Albeit, if he were to act out he clearly has potential for horrific behaviors."
The report from the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board, dated Aug. 22, 2000, reflected the state's ongoing struggles to determine the level of danger posed by Scherf, a three-strikes offender serving a life sentence without chance of parole.

Most Read Stories
The state also struggled to get Scherf sex-offender treatment that both Scherf and prison officials acknowledged he needed. It was considered an inefficient use of resources since the state was unsure when, if ever, Scherf would be released from prison.
And while Scherf acknowledged his continuing threat as a rapist should he ever be released, the Department of Corrections (DOC) in 2009 downgraded Scherf from maximum-security status to medium security. Had that status not changed, he likely would have been transferred to a different prison.
On Saturday night, Jayme Biendl, a 34-year-old corrections officer, was found dead in Monroe's prison chapel, a microphone cord wrapped around her neck. Biendl worked alone in the chapel, where inmates were allowed to visit and worship.
Scherf, 52, became the primary suspect from the investigation's outset and was found with blood droplets on his hands and clothes, and bite marks on his fingers. Detectives suspect Scherf's pants were down during the attack and are investigating whether Biendl was killed while fighting off a sexual assault, according to court records.
Documents obtained by The Seattle Times on Wednesday show that Scherf repeatedly attempted to get sex-offender treatment while in prison, to no avail. In 1991 he was transferred to a prison unit because it offered such treatment. But he wasn't able to enter the program because he was then serving an indeterminate sentence — meaning it was uncertain when he would be released.
After Scherf raped a Spokane real-estate agent in 1995 — and was convicted of felony charges that amounted to his third strike — he was unable to get such treatment because he was no longer eligible to be released. In a 2000 report, the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board wrote: "The Board highly encourages Mr. Scherf to engage in self study by reading and obtaining any information regarding sex offenders and treatment."
The documents also detail the many ways in which Scherf managed to impress counselors, psychologists and assorted parole administrators while in prison over the years.
Scherf has been in prison for almost the entirety of his adult life, beginning with his first penitentiary sentence in the late 1970s. He managed to get paroled twice but quickly reoffended, each time committing a rape that he had planned out and calculated well in advance, according to state records.
But from the outset, Scherf convinced many prison officials that he was a model inmate, determined to better himself.
A 1979 report said Scherf had a "clear conduct record;" had secured his GED and was on his way to completing community college; had graduated from vocational meat-cutting courses and had moved on to electrical maintenance courses — "and all with outstanding reports. His counselor speaks glowingly of him."
In 1980, a corrections officer reviewing Scherf's request for parole wrote: "I also am of the opinion that Scherf should have little difficulty obtaining full-time employment. He is a neat appearing, clean-cut young man, with good verbal skills and a very positive attitude."
In 1993, Scherf received positive reports from both a psychologist and a counselor. The psychologist, according to a report, "states that Scherf does not appear to be a danger to be at large, and that he seems to be self-motivated to help."
The counselor wrote of Scherf: "His work evaluations have been consistently superior, and his attitude toward staff and other inmates has been beyond question. … My impression is that Scherf has made the maximum effort that could be expected of an inmate incarcerated within the system."
By the time he was released in 1993 — the second time he was paroled — Scherf had, according to one report, completed the following programs: "two substance abuse programs, two anger/stress management classes, an advanced anger/stress management class … his Associate of Arts degree from Walla Walla Community College, completing a variety of seminars and programs such as Prison Survival Guide, Forklift Safety, an Industrial Safety course, Peace Between People workshop, Advanced Peace Between People program, Discipleship seminar, and a 'How to be Your Own Best Friend' program."
Using the parlance of the corrections system, the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board wrote: "Mr. Scherf has programmed extremely well."
While the psychologist's report in 2000 downplayed the risks posed by Scherf within prison, the board said the opposite held true outside prison.
"Mr. Scherf acknowledges himself that he does do very well in the institution, but gets in trouble when he is out in the community," the board's report said. "He further acknowledges that he is an untreated sex offender and will more than likely re-offend if he were to be released."
Scherf has consistently professed a devotion to religion, according to the records. He attended Bible study, once worked as a clerk in the chapel, and even took steps toward getting a minister's license.
In 1985, in a rare faceoff with the prison system, Scherf initiated a lawsuit against the DOC. But he quickly withdrew the lawsuit and wrote a letter to the director, saying: "I want you to know that I am sorry for implicating you and the others mentioned and I trust that you will accept my deepest apologies. Although I still believe that the issues contained in the complaint need to be rectified, I am a Christian and have no business pursuing these matters in a worldly court. I have committed these matters unto Him who judges righteously, 1 Peter 2:18 thru 23. Thank you for hearing me out. God bless you richly."
Scherf got married in the late 1980s, while in prison. His wife's involvement with him "first began with mail correspondence through a Christian Outreach Program she was affiliated with in San Diego," state records say. When the two married, she moved from California to Spokane. They have remained married for more than 20 years.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Shapeways API error, questions http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=20471&th=3945#msg_20471 <![CDATA[A few notes about the Shapeways SOAP API specification for the Shapeways folks...

 1) In the specification, an entry in a MaterialArray has a "shininess" property. But in looking at the details as provided by the wsdl, I noticed that they are being sent out with a "shineness" property instead. Oops! Might want to fix that.

 2) Many of the fields specified in the API don't actually have meaningful data assigned to them. This includes the "wallthickness" and "technology" fields of the printer specs, and the various "colour" (and related) properties of the materials. Some, but not all, of the materials also have "description = None" showing up on my end.

 What would an estimated timeline be, on filling in some of that data, particularly the "wallthickness" field and the rendering data? Both would be very nice to have.

 3) Pricing data. I see a nice start being made, in the "startup_cost" property (which isn't in the spec)... but clearly it's not done (as the value of it is always zero, and there's no "incremental_cost" to go with it, nor even the terminologyfor the scaling discounts of stainless with finishes). Using getModelPrice(), price models can be derived, and I'm doing so... but it's a bit of a pain to have to do so instead of simply having those included as a pricing template under the material itself.

 Other than that, though, looks good! Hope to have good news for all of us Blapewaderites (or Shendaysites?) soon.]]> EricFinley 2010-11-14T01:24:56-00:00 Re: Shapeways API error, questions http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=20557&th=3945#msg_20557 <![CDATA[Thanks Eric! I'll pass it along to our developers.

 Cheers,

 Bart]]> bartv 2010-11-16T09:10:18-00:00 Re: Shapeways API error, questions http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=20756&th=3945#msg_20756 <![CDATA[Thanks, Bart.

 Another thought... it looks like the Material IDs are in a fairly arbitrary order. It would be kind of nice to present them to the user in a more rationalized scheme, without (of course) constantly changing the actual reference IDs. I can do this internally, but it would be kind of nice to have a "List Priority" attribute for each material, so that you guys can set the default listing order when you add a new material. For example, if you add a new dye to WSF, it'd be nice to have that displayed under WSF (and previous dye options), rather than in an arbitrary position in the list of materials. Worth mentioning to those guys at the same time (IMO).

 Edited to change "Display Priority" to "List Priority" for clarity, and add the example.]]> EricFinley 2010-11-19T21:26:32-00:00

From the short video of game play, the long wait for Duke Nukem might have almost been worth it. Along with a rather impressive use of the Unreal Engine and lighting to create a very nice looking world is some heavy scripting. A lot of the eulogy contains both enemies and Duke performing some rather intricate scripted movements along with the game play shots. It is hard to say just how well the game would have worked with jumping pig men, but hopefully someone will get their hands on the code, however unlikely that is.

Offloading is the new merger for today's electronic manufacturers and it is TSMC that is reaping the benefit. They already handle AMD's 40nm process chips, at least until Global Foundries finds its stride, as well as working with Intel on developing a 'System on a Chip', which will be a smaller, less power hungry Atom. Now it is Fujitsu's turn, as they are passing at least some, but quite possibly all, of their chip manufacturing to TSMC.

Today IBM announced enhanced capabilities for mobile collaboration. Customers can easily download the software from all major app stores including Android, Apple, and BlackBerry, and gain immediate access to blogs, employee data, status updates, wikis, as well as share files, videos and photos. This includes IBM Sametime enterprise instant messaging and IBM Sametime Unified Telephony dialers for Android, and IBM Sametime meetings on the BlackBerry. IBM is also helping IT administrators simplify the management of corporate and personal data on employee devices. by allowing employees, customers and partners to collaborate more effectively while on mobile devices.

You can read a more in-depth analysis of this announcement, and why we're so excited about it, on Todd Watson's Turbo Todd Blog. As always, we would love your feedback: how are YOU using mobile collaboration in your business environment?

Sametime, since the 7.5 days, has allowed users to access its basic presence and chat features from a variety of mobile devices. It allows us mobile people to not only reach others in an effective manner (it seems I am constantly getting off a plane and seeing who is available to me right now to deal with whatever issues are top of mind). But it also gives others more accurate information about when and how I can be reached... making presence a universal dial-tone, rather than one that is accurate only when I am at my desktop.

Sametime 8.5.2 extends native presence/chat to new platforms...specifically the great variety of Android devices that are sweeping the marketplace and filling our pockets and briefcases. And you Apple fan boys and girls (I am now officially one, having gotten my first Mac and iPhone within the last month) will see enhanced capabilities on iOS in the near future...watch this space!

But Sametime 8.5.2 goes beyond adding Android and paving the way for iOS devices. It is the beginning of a whole new approach to our increasingly mobile world. For example, we mobile folks can not only do IM functions, but Sametime meetings can now be attended from the mobile devices -- first from Blackberry, with Android and iOS to follow (you just have to experience a Sametime Web Conference on an iPad!)...watch this space!

With Sametime 8.5.2 we even have SUT on mobile devices. Previously, your mobile phone could certainly be a preferred device, with calls being routed to it by Sametime-contextual rules (geographic location, availability, etc.). And you could move calls to you mobile phone (and back again) from any other device. And you could even click-to-call someone and have your mobile phone be the one you use to talk and listen. However, you could not initiate an SUT call from the mobile phone (this was possible only from the Sametime desktop client). With the Sametime 8.5.2 native Android client, SUT users can initiate a call to any Sametime contact, Android contact, or phone number. This call is actually handled by SUT, ringing back the caller on the mobile phone and then completing the call to the other party. The advantages are:
The caller shows as "on the phone" to other Sametime users
The incoming caller ID shown is the caller's SUT unified number (not the mobile carrier number)
Enterprise dial plans can be used for least-cost routing and roaming/toll charge avoidance

Of course, if you are interested in SUT calling capabilities on iOS...watch this space!

Finally, there are a couple of features of the Sametime 8.5.2 native mobile client that are particularly significant. These include using the phone's GPS for (optionally) showing location, converting incoming text chats to speech (e.g., when you are driving), and taking a picture with the mobile phone and including it in the chat you have with another Sametime user. This last capability, while not earth-shattering in itself, may be the most significant one we have ever delivered in Sametime mobile. That is because historically our mobile apps tried to emulate what you do on the desktop...taking into account mobile form factor and connectivity. The add photo to chat feature is the first one that rather than taking a desktop collaboration feature and adding it to mobile, takes a mobile feature and uses it for collaboration. This indeed is the hallmark of the new era of mobile UCC.

Caramel Corn
Does the world need another caramel corn recipe? Probably not, but this is easy and turns out amazing every time I make it. This time of year caramel corn replaces our regular popcorn as we watch all those holiday favorites on DVD bundled in our blankets, as the rain comes down outside.
From ot sure where this recipe came from originally but I have it on an index card in my recipe file box.
Caramel Corn
8 cups popped popcorn
Mixed nuts or peanuts (optional)
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
6 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
In a heavy bottomed medium size (or slightly larger) saucepan, cook sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt over medium heat stirring until it boils. Then cook without stirring for 5 minutes (reduce heat a little if it starts to boil over or looks like it might burn).
Remove from heat and add baking soda and vanilla. Quickly and carefully stir and pour over popcorn (and nuts) in roasting pan. Quickly stir to coat (it will be a little spotty but it covers more evenly after baking).
Bake in a 300 degree oven for 15 minutes (or a little less), remove from oven and stir to coat evenly. Place back in the oven for another 5 or 10 minutes. Remove from oven, stir again then carefully dump onto two cookie sheets, breaking up the larger clumps with a wooden spoon. Allow to cool completely before storing in tightly sealed containers.

Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC), and Anamarija Frankić, director of the Green Boston Harbor Project (GBH) at the Center for Governance and Sustainability, are in agreement about at least two things: the importance of action, not talk, on climate issues, and the importance of the role of women in defining and undertaking needed action. Women represent more than 50 percent of the world's population, the two agree, and in their minds represent more than 50 percent of the solutions.
Although women may bear the brunt of the effects of climate change disproportionately, particularly in the Global South, they are often also responsible for the management of forest, water, and other resources, and as such carry essential knowledge and practice for community adaptation.
A high-level meeting is planned for December 7 to follow up on COP17's exploration of the intersections of gender and climate earlier this week. Figueres; the Honorable Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland and U.N. high commissioner for human rights; European Commission Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard; and others will seek to ensure that gender issues remain prominent for the COP17 negotiations and beyond.
The conversation is important. But Frankić has an additional suggestion: take the top delegates, both women and men, to the laguna and harbor. Kayak to see the marsh or mangroves up close and personal. Enough talking heads, says Frankić, we need walking and acting minds and hearts.
