when ever i run for a distance my ears plug up!
why does this happen?!?!?!?!?!
i try to stop it by shoveing my fingers in my ears and moving them up and down while humming but at the risk of looking like a sumwhat confused chicken i would like to find a better method of curing this irritating occurance.
any suggestions?
idk but it bugs the hell out of me too
try yawning or chewing gum while you run. i guess you would look pretty stupid yawning evey ten seconds but it might look better than being a confused chicken running.

Qualcomm Said to Hire GM Developer of Futuristic Vehicles
Qualcomm Inc., the largest seller of mobile-phone semiconductors, is hiring Chris Borroni-Bird, who left General Motors Co. where he developed futuristic vehicles, said a person familiar with the decision.
The person asked not to be identified because the hiring hasn't been announced.
Borroni-Bird, who joined Detroit-based GM about a decade ago after working at the predecessor of Chrysler Group LLC, worked on advanced vehicle research and development. He wrote a book, "Reinventing the Automobile," with then-GM Vice President of R&D Lawrence Burns and William Mitchell, the late Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, about the future of urban mobility that was published in 2010.
GM yesterday said Borroni-Bird left his job at the automaker to work for another company. Emily Kilpatrick, a spokeswoman for San Diego-based Qualcomm, declined to comment, and GM didn't make Borroni-Bird available.
Borroni-Bird, seen in recent years demonstrating projects such as the pod-like EN-V self-driving vehicle, was becoming a public face for GM's advanced technology efforts, Jim Hall, a principal of consulting firm 2953 Analytics Inc., said yesterday in a telephone interview.
"Every loss of an employee at General Motors is at one point a problem for them right now," said Hall, who is based in Birmingham, Michigan.

The rumours that former St.Kilda glamour boy and Channel Nine newshound Michael Roberts and wife Andrea are on the rocks, is not entirely true. They are on Dog Rocks.
"The rocks are selling so well to lawn loving dog owners worldwide that when asked where in Australia the miracle stones come from, Mrs Roberts said, "I'm not telling you."
Testimonials (see more ...)
"Excellent product, so far it has kept my dog healthy and my lawn clear of burn marks"
– I Vekris, Burnaby, BC
Finally a product that is simple and easy to use that stops our two small dogs from killing our lawn. After only 4 weeks the old burn marks are growing back and no new patches. When we tell friends why we have rocks in our dogs bowl their first reaction is does it work and where can I buy them. Highly reccomend for any pet owner that is tired of their pets ruining their lawn.
– Cindy, from Kamloops, BC
Use Dog Rocks® all year round to save your lawn.

Buy ford, gm stock! Japan stock market will drop 40% soon!
You fail to realize if Japan stock market goes down at the level you are proclaiming, the US market will come down heavily. It is not necessarily us vs. them anymore. You want the japanese market to do well, as well as China and Europe.
I have Ford and TM, both doing well. The Nikkei isn't the only index falling. Everything is hedging on China. Realistically, TM's market share is larger than Ford's. There are still other markets, so we will recover.

Which sentence below is correct?
Ben received a pay rise.
Ben received a pay raise.
Which sentence below is correct?
That depends.
Source: dictionary.com
In each region you can even use raise / rise without pay and there is no question about what's increased:
Hmmm - just based the general usage of the words in other contexts, I would say "pay rise" denotes some across the board increase that everyone got due to contract negotiations or gov't action. A "pay raise" would denote that Bill alone got the increase.
Even so - it's a stretch and I would normally ask for clarification as the meaning is unclear - I'm not sure anyone else would see the difference. It strikes me as the sort of differentiation that a specialist in accounting or management would make aot the normal guy on the street.
The second is correct. See here for a nice explanation of the difference.

With all of the reloading I've done, next to case trimming (I solved it with the Giraud powered case trimmer) I've hated annealing cases. It was always difficult to get them annealed perfectly around the neck. Then there was me burning my fingers while trying to knock them over into the water. Then drying the cases after their bath, a real pain. It's a no fun job but something you need to do if you want consistent neck tension and your brass to last. Anyway after thirty years of doing it the old fashioned way I'm going automated.I ordered a new BC 1000 automated, carousel annealing machine that can process 1000 cases per hour. Sold by Ken Light Manufacturing, it retails for $325. It actually preheats and revolves the cases as they pass through the torches perfectly annealing them. Then as fast as you drop in another case a finished one drops out.
Now if I could just find someone to reload for me it couldn't get any easier.

For any $n\in \mathbb{R}$, your surface is a cylinder, and homotopic to the circle.

Luxurious living, steeped in history: Dating from 1820 and fully renovated in 2000 and 2012, the Coach House and the Dairy Cottage were originally part of Stanwick Hall, the home of the Duchess of Northumberland. The Coach House and Dairy Cottage both enjoy great privacy and their own gardens, but can also be combined to form elegant and spacious accommodation for up to 13 guests in great comfort.
Details for the Coach House
This luxurious Yorkshire Dales country house has 4 comfortable bedrooms, a large, well-equipped kitchen with Aga, spacious lounge with log burner leading into a beautiful conservatory overlooking south-facing, private gardens. Please click on the link below for more details.
Details for the Dairy Cottage
Converted in 2012, this architect-designed delightful hideaway is all on one level and has its own large garden. The large living area (8m x 5m) is open-plan, with a dining area at one end and a well equipped kitchen leading off. There is a lovely log burner, a large roof atrium and wide arched glass doors leading into the gardens. Leading off the lounge is a spacious bedroom, again with hand-made double arched glass doors opening onto private south-facing gardens.Dairy Cottage is flooded with light whatever the weather and the use high quality natural materials throughout - oak floors and hand-made doors, Jerusalem stone in the shower room and a solid wood kitchen - create a calm and peaceful environment for relaxation.
Environmental sustainability was important to us when we designed this conversion, as was the need to stay true to the original building and re-use as much of the original stone and other materials as possible, so the Dairy Cottage has underfloor heating supplied by a wood-pellet boiler to keep it cozy and warm in the winter months.
Further details about the Coach House
Approached through the tall sandstone gate piers and into a spacious driveway the stunning architecture of the Coach House will make your stay a special one, whether you are entertaining in the cozy dining room, cooking on the Aga with friends in the roomy kitchen, sitting by the fire in the spacious lounge or simply relaxing with a good read in the light and airy conservatory or mezzanine. Children love this place - they can explore and play safely to their hearts' content whilst parents can relax and enjoy this rather special Grade II listed home with all the modern conveniences.The house has a wing with 2 double bedrooms, a triple room and a bathroom with a walk-in shower which means that 2 families can enjoy complete privacy. The spacious master suite is the only bedroom on the first floor. It has French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony with private, uninterrupted south-facing views over beautiful parkland , a Super King bed and ensuite shower room. Also on the first floor is a large mezzanine for lounging and browsing through the house library of books and games.
In the East wing of the Coach House there is a very large kitchen, with a breakfast table that seats 8 people, all the modern appliances you might need, and a French door opening onto a sun-trap with outdoor seating overlooking the south-facing gardens and parkland beyond. There is a beautiful dining room that seats 8 in comfort and this has a lovely wood-burning stove to provide a cozy ambiance for your entertaining. The spacious lounge has bi-fold glass doors that open into the large conservatory, providing a 34'x18' living area. There is also a very large utility room for all your outdoor gear, an additional fridge-freezer and washing and drying facilities. In all there are over 3000 sq ft of living area, so there is plenty of room for everyone to find a quiet corner as well as 4 spacious reception rooms to socialise in. There is everything you need at the Coach House – it's a real home from home.
Decorated to a high standard, with hardwood flooring and 300 year old stone pillars in the impressive entrance hall, the Coach House is stylishly furnished and very well equipped.

There is a range of garden furniture and large barbecue. Parking for up to 5 cars. Walled gardens and electric gates give total privacy.
Things to see and do: The Coach House is situated in peaceful, rolling countryside between the River Swale and the Tees, on the ancient site of the 2000 year old Brigantes settlement. Children love exploring the Coach House and its gardens, playing table tennis or playing on their bikes on the private roads. There is an abundance of historical monuments within 20 minutes' drive - castles, abbeys, earthworks, villages and towns to name but a few. Walkers will love the Yorkshire Dales, England's largest and most impressive National Park is just 15 minutes' drive away and the Lake District is just over an hour's drive with sailing, hiking, wind surfing and much more. Enjoy horse riding from the nearby stables (you can walk there!) on the perfect network of bridleways or play a round of golf at the nearby course at Richmond in the middle of beautiful countryside. Going slightly further afield, explore the stunning North Yorkshire coastline and enjoy the delights of Whitby, just over an hour's drive away.
This countryside property was exactly as described, if not better. As we arrived, we were greeted by a lovely man who showed us around and gave us some background information on the property and the surrounding area. The house was spotless and furnished immaculately, which to us, was extremely impressive. A lovely, bright, spacious living room for the group to relax in (could have done with one more sofa), adjoined to a sweet conservatory, which when the doors are opened is breezy, warm and snug. The grounds are lovely, we enjoyed a bbq and table tennis, and just lounging outside looking at the beautiful plants and flowers the garden held. The kitchen was the highlight - all the equipment and utensils one could ask for, with a large window overlooking the garden, making the washing up seem a much less arduous task. The owner was particularly friendly, helping us with walks and tips for the surrounding area.
Overall, I would recommend this property wholeheartedly and I would go back in a heartbeat, especially as it is EXCELLENT value for money. A wonderful holiday, made even more enjoyable by the smooth running of business, no problems whatsoever.
We stayed at the Coach House for a week in July, with my father in law in his late 80's, myself and my husband, and 2 20 year old children. Simon was very quick to answer any questions when we were arranging the booking. We were made welcome by Kay on arrival who showed us in and around the property. It is a beautiful house which has been renovated to a high standard and equipped well. It is a spacious place to stay and is the closest most of us will come to glimpsing life on a country estate. There are 3 big tables to eat at (1 outside, 1 in the kitchen and 1 in the dining room), plenty of plates, mugs and bowls, pans and knives, and of course the essential wifi. The beds are roomy and very comfortable. We brought bikes and enjoyed lovely rides on the quiet roads around and also walks on the many footpaths. The garden is great for games and is sheltered with a view over fields. It was a very restful week and with the neighbouring cottage too would make a great place for reunions of family or friends.
This is a lovely property with lots of space, great location for a peaceful holiday but plenty of interesting places to visit if you want to explore the area. For walkers the Teesdale way can be joined at various locations nearby. It has a superb master bedroom and one of the best kitchens we'vehad in many years of cottage holidays. We've marked it down because the downstairs bathroom isn't up to the standard claimed for the property. It's very tired (not shown in picture gallery). The shower head didn't stay in place and the door leaked a lot so we had to mop up every time it was
used. As the heating was broken when we
were there it made it an even more challenging experience. The owner responded to our issues and says both heating and shower have been fixed. As we were holidaying with an elderly relative and we aren't young ourselves, we found the sofas very low/difficult to get out of and uncomfortable after sitting any length of time. The chairs in the conservatory are good and we could move them into the living room but that was hardly ideal. The conservatory offers a bright sitting area with super outlook but has no blinds so is too hot to sit in on warm days. Having said all this it would make a lovely holiday home for families with young children: there's.a play area on the large landing and lots of toys provided. The property is well cared for and the housekeeper very helpful.
The owner is quite rightly proud of this beautiful accommodation. It is spacious enough for large groups. has an amazing charm, private large rear garden, immaculately & tastefully decorated. I would highly recommend a stay here and may even follow my own advice and return for a longer stay. It would be ideal for a couple of families or a larger group who are looking for some privacy in a tranquil surrounding.
Enjoyed a family birthday weekend for 10 of us in this beautiful house and cottage in a wonderful location - very quiet but relaxing. Its in an area steeped in history and the house is very much part of that. Lovely size and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed cooking for 10 as it had all the facilities we needed. Garden was a treat and peaceful to sit in and enjoy the views across the fields - feeding the horses with the spare carrots! We would love to return and didn't want to leave.

It is extremely rare in our experience as world travellers that we stumble upon the perfect holiday house, such as we discovered at the Coach House. Simon was the perfect host: gracious, helpful yet unintrusive, quick to make sure our needs were being met and to offer suggestions for places to visit or eat. We were certainly not the perfect guests: stressed out from the drive from Aberdeen with a baby who had suddenly decided she did not like road trips, and a grieving, recently divorced relative in tow. The Coach House supplied us with rest, room to relax and unwind in the late June sunshine, and provided the perfect launching point for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.
The Coach House has four bedrooms: three close together on the main floor with a large bathroom, and an enormous master bedroom with ensuite and balcony on the first floor. Our family of four spread out amongst the three bedrooms, allowing the baby to catch up on her naps in peace, our elder daughter to play in her own room, and exhausted parents to read/nap/rest in their own room. The visiting relative took the master bedroom, allowing each family a great deal of privacy, peace and quiet. The kitchen was very well appointed (even with glass pitchers for Pimm's to be carried out and consumed al fresco in the garden, and common kitchen herbs - mint! - just outside the door). There was also laundry, a full dining room, very large living room with plush couches and entertainment system, sunroom, large entryway and first-floor landing complete with bins of children's books and toys. Despite these amenities, we probably spent the majority of our time in the garden, soaking up the sunshine, napping on picnic blankets and chasing small children who adored the incredible flowers, humming bees, and the horses and farm dogs that made the occasional appearance at the back gate. Walks into the surrounding countryside were met with bucolic scenery, friendly neighbours who waved as you passed, and the sort of fresh air that restores a city-dwelling soul.
Recommended things to do/visit in the area: Richmond and its medieval castle, Whitby and adjacent abbey, the chapel of St. John within walking distance of the Coach House, the Stanwick Arms pub in the charming village of Aldbrough St. John overlooking the large village green, and eating five star food at The Oak Tree Inn at Hutton Magna.
Thanks to Simon for an idyllic week. We hope to return!

Caviar may be off the menu after Aussie superstar suffers injury during Ascot triumph
A valedictory farewell tour back home looks on the agenda for Black Caviar after she scrambled home in Saturday's Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The understandable immediate disappointment at her head verdict over Moonlight Cloud, as well as relief that jockey Luke Nolen's final furlong misjudgement did not have calamitous ramifications, prompted hints of retirement.
A run in Newmarket's July Cup has never been a serious possibility.
Made it: Black Caviar (right) narrowly won the Diamond Jubilee Stakes
Star of the show: Frankel by a mile or, to be exact, 11 lengths in the Queen Anne Stakes — his best run yet on Flat racing's biggest stage.
Ride of the week: Kieren Fallon, who manoeuvred Most Improved into the ideal position from a poor draw in the St James's Palace Stakes.
Jockey of the week: William Buick underlined his place at racing's top table with five wins, including Newfangled and Fallen For You.
But, as she heads in quarantine, a likely shot the Patinack Stakes at the Melbourne Cup spring carnival in front of her adoring Australian fans, possibly preceded by a prep run in the Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valle looks the way trainer Peter Moody will steer the mare whose unbeaten sequence now stretches to 22 races.
Ratings experts Timeform have provisionally projected Black Caviar performed by 13lb below her best on Saturday.
The BHA's head of handicapping Phil Smith more conservatively estimated the run at between 10lb to 12lb under her capabilities.
But after a 10,000 mile global trip from the southern hemisphere, Black Caviar deserves to be cut a little leeway and not be too harshly judged despite not completely living up to the pre-race publicity.
Having travelled from the Aussie winter, her coat lacked the gleam of her rivals and Smith also argued that the result also reflected national racing styles.
He said: 'Australian racing is all about early pace. Once you've burnt your rivals off, they don't come back at you. European racing is different. It is all about finishing and that is especially the case with the French, who supplied the second and third Moonlight Cloud and Resurgent.'
That mind set possibly explains why Nolen eased off in the last half furlong. Maybe he could not believe another rival get close as well as wishing to nurse home a mount se is now sentimentally attached to.
But the clock make interesting reading. Black Caviar completed the last furlong in 13.7secs - the third slowest time in the field. But he split between the two and one furlong pole of 10.84sec, easily the quickest in the race.
Lucky boy: Black Caviar extended her winning run to 22 races at Ascot
Intriguingly, on similar going, Frankel's quickest furlong in Tuesday's Queen Anne Stakes was 10.58secs between the three and two furlong pole.
Evidence Sir Henry Cecil's wonder colt is better? Not conclusively but an intriguing comparison.
This was racing - not a time trial even if Frankel makes it look that way. Hot favourites will get turned over at next month's Olympics not because they lack raw talent but because on the day they could not produce their best for a variety of reasons.
Moody said: 'I had concerns half a mile out, only her grit and ability got her home. You have probably seen the filly race at her lowest ebb for 10 or 12 starts - but fortunately she was able to get the job done. Post-race she is out on her feet.
'I am slightly disappointed for your public that they haven't seen how great this filly is. There will be some doubting Thomases but you don't win 22 from 22 being a mug.
'I saw the greatest performance I witnessed on a racecourse on Tuesday with Frankel. Had I brought this mare here last year, I probably would have said the same thing.'
Maybe, the Black Caviar has peaked as her career enters its last lap but she was put out of her comfort zone and got the job done. Many great champions from sport can't claim that She also helped enliven one of the best ever royal meetings. Frankel, So You Think, Gold Cup winner Frankie Dettori and The Queen's Estimate they all ignited crowds that were disappointingly down overall.
Royal occasion: The Queen congratulates the owners of Black Caviar
But Black Caviar's presence, with her army of pink and back, green and gold occasionally raucous flag waving fans, brought an added dimension to the five-days.
The nearest thing I have witnessed was Zenyatta's agonising defeat to Blame in the 2010 Breeders' Cup Classic when jockey Mike Smith broke down in tears after giving American racing's darling too much to do and she lost her unblemished record on her 20th and final start.
Nolen's great escape meant he did not have to shed tears. 'It's not the bloody story,' he implored under a barrage of questions about his near disastrous mistake.
It was 10 minutes after the race but in 10 months and 10 years, the story that will be that Black Caviar put her record and neck on the line and succeeded.
As the crowd waited for her return to the winner's enclosure, a small lady dressed in green stood patiently waiting. Her gloved hand eventually patted the mare's nose.
It was as if the Queen of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth had been granted an audience with the Queen of the racecourse. Her majesty, so atuned to racing, appreciated more than most that it was mission accomplished.
Meanwhile, Faarh, the Goldolphin-owned colt who stepped up from handicap company to finish third to So You Think in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, appears to be heading for a re-match in the Coral Eclipse.
TrainerAlan McCabe says his German 2,000 Guineas winner Caspar Netscher could be aimed at clash with Frankel in Goodwood's Sussex Stakes if all goes well in next weekend's Prix Jean Prat.

SANTA FE (AP) — A central New Mexico ranch for troubled youth has become embroiled in a third lawsuit.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports the grandparents of a former participant in the Tierra Blanca Ranch High County Youth Program filed a complaint Thursday in state District Court in Santa Fe.
According to the complaint, James and Cheryl Morgan are seeking damages for their grandson's treatment.
They allege he was physically and emotionally abused and forced to work without compensation.
The complaint also names the state Children, Youth and Families Department as a defendant, saying the agency didn't take corrective action.
The ranch settled its own lawsuit against the state Feb. 21, agreeing to give the CYFD access to students and their files for the next 12 months.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
First thing I thought when I bought this was cool, Im finally in the Osprey club, I get to try it out and see what all the hype was about. All my Adventure friends had one, they wouldn't stop talking about them, so I figured fine peer pressure I'll give in. Im pretty pumped I did. First thing I noticed was how much space I actually had. Basically if Mary Poppins had a freaking BackPack, she would have sold it to buy this one. I have the L/XL version. It just kept gobbling up my stuff. Rain gear, survival knife, snacks, Huge Nalgene bottle, hydration sack, camera gear, more knives, extra set of clothes, my laptop for editing our photos and videos between destinations, survival gear (matches, first aid kit, bug spray, sun screen), hat, extra pair of sandals, monster energy drink, and a few more nick nacks and I think after all that I still had room for like a spare tire for the jeep and a winch. Seriously though, Im thrilled with this thing, I have a 17in Macbook Pro, can't find much to fit my HUGE laptop and it ate it like a champ. The zippers all have held up after being thrown in and out of the my jeep, all the nylon is still straight after hikes and snags on trees and underbrush. I road with this thing ATVing hard through the mountains in Park City Utah, and it just kept going. Just brushed the trail dust off and back in the Jeep it went. I really like how sturdy this thing is, its got an internal frame so it always holds its shape which is really cool. On top of all that, even though it can just eat, and eat, and eat gear, when you take it out it looks like a small little half day pack. I could confidently live out of this thing for 2 days if I was really watching my ounces but for a day pack can't beat it for how little it weighs and how much you can put in this thing. I will say the mesh part meant for a bike helmet added a ton of extra room for just general stuffing like a rain coat or bug spray, but it does seem to loose some of it's elasticity the more stuff you cram into that open compartment so even though I don't baby it personally, I would say watch that if you need to hold a helmet tight if you're going to use this for say Mountain Biking. Speaking of which the waist strap on this thing is great, pockets on each strap east to get to a trail snack, knife, multi-tool, or a 5 hour energy if thats what your into. (Which I am, and Is what I used it for). Keeps it all nice and supported on your helps and takes a ton of the weight of your shoulders. I never felt fatigued when I had my straps buckled in and adjusted properly with 20ish pounds. Bought the Osprey Hydraulics Hydration 2L Reservoir and its a great add on if you want instant water that you don't have to reach around to a side water bottle pouch for. That tech they build in to keep your back cool really does work with the internal frame that runs the length of the pack, so its a breezy back for days with this pack on your shoulders. Did I mention that you have tons of areas to strap randomness down on the outside of the pack? In my case it was camera equipment like tripods and selfie sticks, all of which were snug without the need to use more straps then what was on the pack. In all I'm super pleased with my purchase, I'm planning on getting a larger Osprey pack for a trip I'm thinking about doing next summer, I'm def Flying Osprey from now on for my camping and traveling pack needs. Cheers
This backpack is badass!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Although I just got this backpack recently, it is already proving to be a very versatile and useful backpack. I use it everyday as a backpack for school, and will also use it for lots of travel as well as ski touring trips as this backpack is light enough for skiing - my favorite feature is the reversible compression straps which can also hold my skis on it. This beautiful pack is definitely highly recommended and I'm looking forward to many years of using it!
Lost & Found
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
What happens when your favorite pack is stolen in San Francisco? Get another one. I gave this pack to my friend Brian (6'3" but with shorter torso, M/L fit best) and here is what he had to report:
"This is my 2nd Osprey Kestral 32. Whether day hiking in the Sawtooth range or traveling to the jungles of Borneo, this is my "go to" pack. The main compartment is roomy and accessible, as the zipper open half the pack. There is a zipper pocket on the top for necessaries and a stretch pocket on the back for maps, books, or plane tickets. The shoulder and waist straps are fully adjustable and where the pack meets ones back there is a breathable mesh that allows for cooling air flow. I love my Osprey Kestral."
If you have questions about Osprey Packs:
Does it all
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This pack is bananas. Outside of multi-day backpacking you won't need another pack. Even then you could probably get away with ultra-lighting with this thing. I've had this pack for 3 years now and I use it everyday from a school pack, cycling, carry on luggage, day hikes, weekend trips, and even lived out of it for a week in the Virgin Islands. It does it all. Seriously in use every single day.
Fantastic construction that I haven't had a problem with yet, and I know that if I ever need another I'll definitely come back to Osprey. Also the fit is crazy if you cinch it up right. Stays close to your body and doesn't feel like it's even there.
No crazy features on the pack that you don't need, but the essentials pocket, mesh front pocket, and built in rain fly are definitely my favorite features of the pack.
I'll be insulted if you don't buy this right now. Do it. Come on just do it. Please.
The dream pack!
All the necessary bells and whistles are there, no unnecessary chichi stuff.
I loaded it with my gear (rain layers, fleece, first aid kit, buff, extra hat, toilet paper, dried fruit and nuts in ziplocks, sunblock, lipbalm, thermos jar for lunch) as well as a 3 liter hydration bladder and I put it on. The pack fits like it was made for me, it's perfect.
I'm 5'6, 130 lbs, I got the S/M.
I love that it's a front loader, the compression strap system is simple and effective.
Squeezing the 3 liter bladder in the back compartment took a fair amount of determination but I assume that it's because the pack is brand new, it'll get easier with use.
I can't wait to take it to Henry Coe State Park on Monday!
While it feels weightless on me, fully loaded, it's actually a very sturdy and rugged pack: Strong materials, superb crafstmanship, it's a great looking pack.
The frame is velcro adjustable, the buckles and straps are easy to use and I love the integrated rain cover, it's perfect.
I only recently started using hiking poles, and the Stow and Go system is really handy.
My only issue is it's 8:30 pm and I'm staring at my new pack but I can't go anywhere with it at this time, lol.
Oh, I almost forgot: KUDOS to Backcountry for the speedy delivery.
I ordered it 2 days ago, received it today.
Great Multi-use Pack!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used this pack for everything for the last 3 years. It is great for a weekend trip, climbing trips, traveling. I have the medium and it passes as a carry-on on planes. The mesh front pocket fits my climbing helmet, and I love that it even has the hip-belt pockets where I stash my food or headlamp. I'm grateful it has the rain cover too. I am 5'8 and 130# and the medium fits great.
The ultimate Do-it-All pack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this pack over 3 years ago in green. I used it every. single. day. From backpacking in the rockies, to road trips through the Midwest, and as a school backpack (it's great for stashing extra layers when you get to the classroom). And with a built in rain fly, you're good to go in all weather conditions.
It's a bit big for a day pack, but perfect for weekend trips, or even minimalist multi-day trips. I even used this on a 14 day backpacking trip through Wisconsin.
After about a year and a half, the zipper started to fail. I sent it to Osprey, and they sent me a brand spankin' new pack! (This time in black though, but I don't mind the color change)
I can't imagine having another pack, this thing is just too rock solid to go with anything else, and after the miles I've hiked, biked, sailed, drove, flown (for the record, when fully packed, it's the exact dimensions of the max size carry on bag for most airlines), and rushed to class with this thing on my back, there's no way I'd get anything else.
where did you put your sleeping bag? did you attach it to the outside or put it in the main pocket?
I do one of two things with my sleeping bag: either pack it into it's stuff sack and put it in the middle of the pack, just underneath my shoulders, or I keep it out of the stuff sack and use it as a liner in the bag.
I like the second method the best; you basically fold it in half, put it in the pack, then start packing your gear in.
I was worried about that if the 32L pack is too small for a weekend hiking. But the practice proved I was wrong, it carries well without sacrificing comfort, and it's compact pack with well design: long slim pack body for stuffs stack; wide zippered opening for fast accessing of interior stuffs;hip belt pockets for small gears, and top pocket for digital devices; most of the zippers and adjust belt can be accessed with one hand . Now I'm a big fan of the Osprey.
Okay pack--tricky fit for small torso
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Demoed this pack on several trails in SW Utah--lovely slot canyons and desert hikes. This pack carries well--but it only gets four stars because the adjustability range isn't quite small enough for my torso (which I guess you could make the argument that I should get the 4 stars and not the pack, but whatever). Though the shoulder harness can move up and down, giving you a bit of adjustability within the S/M and M/L, the S/M did not go down quite small enough for me. Also, the waist almost didn't cinch down small enough either.
Aside for it being a little long and therefore rubbing my sacrum and my shoulders a little too much, it fit a great deal of stuff comfortably and in a well-organized manor, was bomb-proof rubbing against rock in the slot canyons, and has external slot for hydration (so no slipping a hose though an annoying tiny slot in the pack and no struggle to load a full reservoir into the inside of a full pack).
There are many other delightful things about this pack (large hipbelt pockets and included rain fly that I almost had to use while hiking in the desert) but those listed above are the top three for me.
But again, this may not be the greatest if you are of petite stature as it didn't work well for my 15" torso, 26" waisted self.
Great day pack
This pack is a good balance of fit, durability and weight. I am 6'2" 190lbs and the large fits very well. It is long and fits close to the body , so center of gravity is not off balance like with my older pack. Great combination of pockets and main access is easy with the wide zippered opening. Room enough for lots of gear, food and clothing, but compresses well with a partial load. I'm a big fan of Osprey and this pack hits the mark for a versatile do-everything day pack.
Osprey Kestrel 32 2012 Redesign
Better than the older version
I recently got the 2012 version of the Kestrel 32 and am very impressed. I've only used it on a short hike so far but it carries very well; better than the 2009 version for me.
While the older version of the pack didn't seem fragile at all, this one feels even sturdier. Very good build quality. The hip belt pockets can be open closed with one hand.
There's plenty of room for gear for a full dayhike and will fit as carry-on if using it for traveling. I'm very happy I picked this up. Backcountry's delivery to Canada was very fast (less than a week).

Secretary-General's remarks at concert: : "Setting the Stage - 2015 and Beyond" [As prepared for delivery]
New York, 6 June 2014
Thank you for your welcome. What a beautiful United Nations display of diversity and common cause.
I want to extend a special welcome to all of tonight's artists and musicians.
And of course, I want to thank the President of the General Assembly for organizing this special concert.
President Ashe has strong connections throughout the diplomatic community. But now I know he is also tight with the Caribbean music community!
As the first UN Secretary-General to ever quote Bob Marley in a speech, I approve!
The performers tonight are from across the world – from South Asia to South Sudan and many other places. They sing in many styles.
But they are united behind a great effort that is now in full swing: the shaping of a new development agenda for all humankind.
The year 2015 is a once-in-a generation opportunity.
Our goal is to put people at the centre and protect our one and only planet.
Our duty is to end poverty, leave no one behind and build lives of dignity for all.
Member States are now shaping the new sustainable development agenda.
There is much work ahead.
But that effort cannot be left only to negotiations in these halls. The new framework has to connect with people.
In the spirit of tonight, it has to sing.
That is why we have opened the process to millions of voices through the "My World" survey.
And it is why we are so privileged to have musicians here tonight who can speak the universal language and show again the unique power of music to move and mobilize the world.
So please enjoy the evening – and make some noise tonight and in the coming months about the world you want.
Thank you.

Answers from the community
Does it work with Squash?
- Asked by Hesham A from GARDEN CITY
- on Jan 6, 2016
With the soft mount it fits prefect to a squash racket. As tennis is different you can not get to mu With the soft mount it fits prefect to a squash racket. As tennis is different you can not get to much relevant information about your squash game. Forehand and backhand strokes are correctly indentified and counted, but, as natural for tennis, the serve is overestimated compared to squash, where you often use a softer (not weaker!) serve... You get a good overview about the amount of strikes over the game and how well you hit the ball with the sweet spot, but for squash the slice, topspin and flat strikes are of an much smaller effect and so the rewarding information is limited due to the difference between squash and tennis. A customized interface for squash instead of the tennis app would improve the information collected, but it is not to much likely that this will be available soon... I like the Zepp Tennis Sensor and use it for all my squash training sessions to count the amount of strikes I've done. (Usually 700 in one hour, solo 1000...1200 in one hour...)

BRUSSELS (AP) -It ends a fight over chocolate labels.
An Italian law recognizes the term "pure chocolate" for products made from 100 percent cocoa butter. That distinguishes it from chocolate containing vegetable fats.
The EU's Court of Justice voided the Italian law today, saying
the cocoa butter content belongs in the ingredients table.
It also says the EU's rules on chocolate labeling, which were created more than a decade ago, make no room for a "pure chocolate" reference.
An EU spokesman says the rules aim to create a fair balance
between two different chocolate cultures in Europe: a purist strain
in countries like Belgium and Italy where traditional chocolate is
made only with cocoa butter and countries like Britain where the
vegetable fats are used.

Irish artist depicts Elton John breastfeeding
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Wow from what i'm seeing of ireland of late sounds like they are way more gay friendly than over here. The may even have an elected gay president soon.
Kevin Sharkey is the ultimate media wh0re, he doesn't give a fig about anything or anyone other than feathering his own nest. Also not only is this bad art (and it is) but its also a woeful piece of Photoshopping.
lets not dignify this provocation
By what definition?
If you take a look at Sharkey's most recent oeuvre you'll see his gone for the shock tactics approach towards making a few quid; Jorda (Katie Price) in the style of Myra Hindley's infamous mugshot, Obama dressed in KKK robes, Elton breastfeeding et al. Sharkey is just a f–ked up product of mindless gestures over substance. He's gone from being bisexual to openly gay to at some stage in the past couple of years getting engaged to a woman. There ain't enough Prozac in Ireland to deal with the issues he has.
Kevin Sharkey is gay.
He's also a really bad artist who creates these 'controversial' pieces to raise his profile.
His very limited artistic talent means that unless he engages in shock tactics then he would have no art career.
I don't have a problem with this. I think breastfeeding is a good thing, and even more men (gay or straight) would be breastfeeding their babies if they were able.
Ummm…."even more men (gay or straight) would be breastfeeding their babies if they were able". Are you stoned or have I missed the story that says men are equipped to breast feed??!! Cause having some men let alone "more" men breast feeding would be a pretty big story.
Actually, they are equipped to breastfeed. Men's mammary glands are anatomically identical to women's mammary glands, but with different hormonal exposures. Men usually don't have the same distribution of fat as women, and men don't usually have the active hormones to stimulate milk production. But with hormones, men can breastfeed. And some men (not many) breastfeed naturally without hormonal supplements.
Here's an article on it:
It's not a big story. It's been documented sporadically since the beginning of time.
Oh Lordy there's that queasy feeling again.
You can borrow my sick bag when I've finished with it. There may not be much room left.
Damn, Elton has a set of knockers on him, doesn't he?
Eltons tits aside, why is pink news calling this "a painting"? It isn't. A painting is something done on primed canvas or panel, or even paper for fuuuks sake. This isn't a painting, it's a bad photoshop job by a talentless hack. Ingres painted. What starkey has done is manufacture controversy with GCSE-grade ICT skills. Can we move a long please?
…..hopefully this is the dieing throes of this creeps so called artistic career. A child with the stub of a pencil could produce something more interesting. I am inclined to see a certain amout of homophobia in this piece and hopefully Elton will have a word with his lawyers about. Over the years Sharkey has been straight, gay , bi and goodness only knows what else. This man has issues and should be in the care of a health care professional.
That A) is Creepy and B) looks like a piss poor photoshop.
I've seen various photos of lactating men breastfeeding small children. I think this particular picture is only creepy in that that obviously looks like a woman's breast. If he had a more realistic male lactating breast it probably wouldn't look so creepy.
Oh get over yourselves a little.
He says himself he has a chuckle at it.
I thought it was rather clever – I like the way he approaches subjects by creating contrasting images.
Does it matter if it's a painting, photoshop or anything else? You may not like the picture but that doesn't give you the right to deem him a bad artist. That's unfair.
Actually I found it very funny too.
Thank God Someone with a sense of Humour, take note Moaners
Calling him a bad artist is insulting to bad artists.
yes i agree, he's fun as in it would be a funny newspaper sketch by someone who could sketch, but as skill goes he's equal with turner prize winners. Actually i don't know of any worthy artists now so he's just part of the trend.
I have nothing against this image other than it's referred to as art! As a former art student myself I really take against this reference myself. So the numpty took two images and badly photshopped them and he's called an artist?
Worse still someone will have paid for this pile of pap!
Ok rant over! lol
If he was a carpenter who couldn't saw wood would it be unfair to call him a bad carpenter? Get over YOURself.
If he was a 'carpenter' who couldn't saw wood then I wouldn't even call him a carpenter you moron.

Motivated by the recent development on iterate-averaging (IA) for accelerating convergence rates of stochastic approximation algorithms, and widely linear (WL) processing for improving performance of the linear minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) multiuser receivers, in this paper, a widely linear IA affine LMS algorithm (WL IA-ALMS) for adjustment of the WL MMSE filter for multiple access interference (MAI) suppression for direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) is introduced and analyzed. We give analytical expressions for the stability region in the mean and in the mean square, the steady-state signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (SINR) of the proposed algorithms. We also investigate its speed of convergence for DS-CDMA MAI suppression.

Haven Banks project funded by sale of the airport
Thursday 16 February 2012Work starts this month on a world class outdoor education and training centre in Exeter. The £5.6 million for the project is the biggest single sum ever to be allocated from the proceeds of the sale of Exeter Airport.
Regional and City Airports (RCA), a company backed by both the investment expertise and infrastructure development skills of Balfour Beatty, officially purchased the airport from Devon County Council for £60 million on 5 January 2007.
The centre, at Haven Banks on the canal basin, will be built and paid for by Devon County Council and, in a pioneering partnership, it will be run with Exeter College on a day-to-day basis. The special ground-breaking ceremony will be held at the site at 10.30am on Monday 20 February and the centre is due to be completed in April 2013.
The new development will replace the outdated existing activity centre on the Quay that currently provides outdoor education courses for more than 25,000 young people a year. The courses include sailing, canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, climbing, caving, orienteering, archery, raft building and team building. The new centre will provide a contemporary hub for outdoor adventure activities for young people and adults from Exeter and Devon and across the region.
Devon County Council leader John Hart said: "This is another major investment in Exeter by Devon County Council which will only serve to boost the economy of the city. The new centre will provide 21st century facilities for a wide range of activities for both young people and adults in the growing sector of adventure pursuits."
The new centre will offer an innovative approach to education and training, with provision that will encompass the individual needs of a wide range of students, including those who are currently disengaged from education through to professionals undertaking training and development in leadership and management.
