Fever :( can I still breastfeed?
Absolutely, in fact it can pass on immunities that will protect her from being sick with the same bug. Just make sure you are staying hydrated and getting rest.
Mr&Mrs 5/2007
They say to keep breastfeeding, it won't hurt the baby, and probably she is already exposed. Your milk is fine. I ran fever for weeks after my son was born, up to 104.2 some days, and kept breastfeeding. It only sucked because I felt so crappy. Feel better!!!!!
yes you can.....i had mastitis and suffering from 102 temp.....i nursed my LO throughout the fever.....she is all well....
the same was adviced by my family physician also......
watermelon lover.....

I had a 101 temp with a 2 week old. SCARY! Breastfed the whole time. There's antibodies in your milk so you breastfeeding actually decreases the risk of illness. I just had my bf do as much care as possible and didn't give kisses. I monitored him constantly and took his temp. He never had any issue(other than hating me taking his temp).
The only caution is to drink LOTS of water. Fever dehydrates you, and so does breast feeding, so for your own health (and for your milk supply) you need to really push push push the fluids.
There is no guarantee your baby won't get sick, but it won't be because of the breast feeding. Your baby probably already has the virus running around in her little body from before you started showing symptoms. Your breast milk, likewise, has been quietly slipping antibodies to her this whole time to help her not get sick, or if she does get sick, to help her fight it off better. Hopefully those antibodies will keep her from getting sick at all. It's very important for you to continue nursing her. Now would be a horrible time to cut off those antibodies. YOU are an important part of her little immune system at this age!

Former Seattle Seahawks head coach Jim Mora appeared on "The Kevin Calabro Show" on 710 ESPN Seattle, and he didn't pull any punches about his former employer.
"I'm over the fact that I got fired, I'm over the fact that—well, mostly I'm over most of what happened, not all of it," Mora said after accompanying one of his four kids on a field trip to the State Capitol in Olympia. "There's a couple of things that stick in my craw..."
When asked what those were, Mora said "To be perfectly honest, there's two things, and only two things. I think that the Seahawks as an organization have every right to make any decision they want to make, and they had a right to fire me, that's just the way it goes.
"The two things that bother me are this: They sent me out to do a press conference on that Wednesday after the season, while they were down in L.A. interviewing Pete Carroll, which, to mem was inexcusable, and number two, I've never talked to Paul Allen. Those are the only two things that bother me. Other than that, it's all water under the bridge.
"Absolutely," Mora replied when asked if he feels his firing was unjustified. "I'm not going to say that I feel I don't feel that way, I absolutely feel that way. There's (11) coaches hired last year, I think four or five of us improved our win-loss record over the year before, and only one was fired.
"The one (who) was fired is a guy who's been the NFL Coach of the Year one year, has been to the NFC Championship Game, was totally committed to his organization, and I don't know, you know, that was me. But I don't want to get back into that. Like I said, I've moved past it."
Well, Mora has sort of moved past it.
"I'm not going to say I wish the organization well," Mora continued. "I wish the players well. I have a lot of good friends that are players there, and I wish the best for them. I've been a Seahawks fan since 1976, and uh, I can't say right now that I feel that same way. Maybe I will one day again, but I'm still a fan of the city. Like I said, I love this city. I'm trying to figure out a way to stay here and coach, and I don't think that's going to work out."
Mora, who has a reputation for, as fellow former Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren would say, telling you how the watch was made when asked for the time, blamed Seahawks public relations director Dave Pearson for his lengthy press conferences.
"That would be our p.r. guy's job to cut it off," Mora snapped when asked about his dealings with the media. "That's his job, not mine. My job is not to say that the press conference is over. The director of public relations, who is paid very handsomely, that's his job to do. So I just did what I was asked as head football coach under the terms of my contract, and that was to speak until the director of public relations, Dave Pearson, said 'Last question', and then I would stop answering questions. So if there's a criticism there, it certainly wouldn't be aimed at me, it would be aimed at the guy in charge of public relations."
Without a public relations director to cut his interview on Monday off, Mora took jabs at new Seahawks quarterback Charlie Whitehurst and general manager John Schneider.
"I had no idea who Charlie Whitehurst was until there was talk about him," Mora said. "I had never heard of the guy. Then I was reminded that he was the guy who threw the interception to Nick Reed in the pre-season. So, I don't know much about the guy....I have some friends on the San Diego staff, and they're feeling pretty darn good about the deal.
"I know that--Snyder, Schneider--whatever the GMs name is, I'm not sure what his first name is, I know he's a good talent evaluator. I do know that. I know that he's very respected in the league as a guy that has an eye for talent, so he obviously saw something there. Time will tell."
Mora thwarted rumors that he's helping coach at Bellevue High School, but he is still coaching, helping coach son's baseball, basketball, and lacrosse team, even though he doesn't know anything about the sport, "but of course, that didn't stop me last year, did it?", Mora joked about coaching Bill Belichick's sport.
Mora expects to get back into coaching next year, but recognizes that it will be tough to move his family out of Seattle.
"I love coaching. In order to coach, I'm probably going to have to move. And moving means taking my family away from the city that I love, and want them to grow up in, so that's where I'm struggling right now," Mora said, adding that the NFL might not be his next landing spot.
Mora is preparing for college jobs, learning the rules and plans to visit some schools to see how their programs are structured. Mora is also planning on being involved in broadcasting in the fall.
"I'm working for the NFL Network, pro bono," said Mora. "I'm not going to take anyone's money when I'm getting paid by the Seahawks. It looks like I'm going to be working for FOX. I've met with ESPN, and next week or the week after, I'm going to New York to meet with NBC and CBS, so I've got some real good possibilities there.
"I don't know, we're just going to take the next 9 months as a family, and see how we feel about things."

1. Feedback of at least 4.5
2. English score 4.5
3. At least 500 hours on Odesk
I'm working with a friend on two websites. Both are very basic and currently have no SEO. I'd like someone to do some basic SEO work on the sites. I can provide the keywords, but I'll need you to give me some guidance on what should be done (hence the undetermined budget). I'm not looking to spend a ton on either one yet. I'd like to start with a small project, including both sites, and then determine what to do next.
I've attached a file that someone provided to me a while ago claiming he'd do all of this, but he wasn't good at communicating so I had doubts about whether he could/would perform the work (he wouldn't respond for weeks at a time). I provide this as a discussion starter only - I don't know if this is the right stuff to do or not so feel free to let me know.
One site is an off color humor site, so if you are sensitive this project probably isn't for you (not adult material or anything overly offensive, but the humor may irk some people).
Please message me for links to the sites if you have interest.
Payments will work as follows:
- 10% upfront
- 40% additional when the first is done
- 50% when the second site is done
- I will provide a 10% bonus if both sites are done in 2 weeks

MIDDLEBURY — It was almost 20 years ago that Molly Hawley assisted a Cleveland, Ohio, ophthalmology office in creating a coloring book to help relieve pre-appointment jitters for child patients. Youngsters could color in the pictures of the mysterious high-tech eye equipment and at the same time learn that their impending exam would be largely pain-free.

MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Agency of Transportation during the past four years has almost halved the number of Addison County roads classified as being in "very poor condition," but state officials acknowledged on Tuesday that much more work remains to be done — particularly to portions of Routes 125, 74 and 73.
MIDDLEBURY — The town of Middlebury will probably have to find $1.5 million to bridge the funding gap between its preferred option of using a tunnel to replace two deteriorating downtown railroad spans, versus what the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is willing to invest in such a project.
That's the latest word from Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) officials, who recently met with their FHWA counterparts to discuss the upcoming replacement of Middlebury's railroad overpasses on Merchants Row and Main Street.
MIDDLEEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Tuesday picked Bread Loaf Corp. to provide preliminary design-build services for a new municipal building that would be built on Main Street and a new recreation center that would be erected off Mary Hogan Drive if voters decide to move forward with a proposal floated earlier this summer.
MIDDLEBURY — They say that people who can't stay in one place for very long have been bitten by the travel bug.
Chuck Hill must've been bitten by a swarm.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Town Hall Theater (THT) Executive Director Douglas Anderson metaphorically looks upon entertainment ideas as tiny flames that should be fanned to burn brightly on the community's stage. And Anderson has been doing a lot of fanning these days on some new ventures that could soon ignite a veritable blaze of visual and auditory pyrotechnics at the THT.
MIDDLEBURY — Motorists traveling through downtown Middlebury are used to seeing cyclists. They are now also seeing bikes of the two-dimensional variety.
Travelers might have noticed some of the 10 "sharrows" recently stenciled at various locations on Main Street. The 9-foot-by-3.5-foot sharrows are designed to encourage motorists and bikers to safely share the road.
SALISBURY — The Salisbury Development Review Board has given conditional approval to a new business off Shard Villa Road that will turn cow manure into cow bedding and compost products. The new agricultural enterprise has the ultimate goal of making biogas that would be funneled to Middlebury College.
WEYBRIDGE — Local and statewide rescue organizations went into the proverbial belly of the beast — a Weybridge cave — during a 12-hour operation to save a man who had injured himself during a fall while doing some underground climbing with a companion on Tuesday night, Aug. 6.
It was a complicated rescue from a cave off Cave Road, led by Weybridge Fire Chief Bill Sinks, who marshaled more than 50 people to help out — including members of the Vermont Cavers' Association.
MIDDLEBURY — Every month the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society (CVUUS) congregation invests a portion of its Sunday offerings in humanity, whether it be feeding people or helping them get access to transportation.
This month the CVUUS community has decided to invest in guns — specifically, to put unwanted firearms out of circulation so that they don't wind up in the hands of people who might use them in an act of violence or to do themselves harm.

M-badged SUVs? BMW considering expansion of high-performance units model lineup
JENS MEINERS | Automotive News Europe
Posted Date: 5/17/05
MUNICH BMW could expand its M range of high-performance cars into SUVs and other models.
The X5 and X3 premium SUV models are possible contenders for new M variants, as are the 5 Series station wagon and the Z4 roadster.
Extending the M range would spell the end of the purist approach that the M division has followed since it launched its first car, the 1978 M1. This was a supercar co-developed with Lamborghini and styled by Italdesign Giugiaro.
Currently, BMW sells the M3, M5 and M6.
We have great potential to go into new segments with M models, said M division CEO Ulrich Bruhnke.
Bruhnke said the success of the X3 and X5 SUVs shows that BMW can break out of its traditional segments.
No M badge for 1 Series
If we were asked to do such a model [an M-badged SUV], I am convinced we could do it, he said.
Bruhnke feels there is room at the top of the X5 range for an M model. The current high-performance model would not be considered for an M-badge, he said.
An M-version of the 1 Series is unlikely, because it is not offered in the U.S., where half of BMWs M models are sold, Bruhnke said.
Even with an expansion of the lineup, an M model will never be just a higher-powered BMW, said Bruhnke.
We dont do labeling. M models cannot be just a variation. Handling and dynamic behavior are as important as linear acceleration, he said.
BMWs M division employs 500 people. Between 1978 and 2004, BMW built 228,454 M models. More than 70 percent were M3 cars.
The company does not disclose the M divisions profitability. But making a profit is not the only reason for the units existence.
It gives BMW cars that highlight the automakers core value, which is to build cars that deliver performance and agile handling.
M models also serve as a test platform for new technologies, such as carbon-fiber applications:
We are a small experimental field for BMW, said Bruhnke.
Bruhnke, 50, took over BMWs M unit in December 2003 after previous head Adolf Prommesberger retired. Earlier, Bruhnke ran Mercedes-Benzs AMG high-performance division, where he raised AMGs sales to 24,000 units from 10,500.
BMW has not yet decided how to expand the M range. Said Bruhnke: Its very comfortable to have more ideas than capacity.
A broadening of the M range could also eventually lead to a future mid-engined supercar in the tradition of the M1, Bruhnke said.
BMW displayed a 700hp V-12 concept X5 at the Geneva auto show in 2000. Said Bruhnke: This showed what an M car based on the X5 could look like.

Additional Information
Step 1
In advance, make candy arches: On waxed paper, mark ten 3 3/4 in. long x 1/2 in. wide strips for arch patterns. Place pattern sheets on flat surface, and fill in patterns with melted candy in cut disposable bag. Carefully lay strips lengthwise over largest flower former; refrigerate to set. When completely set, overpipe strips for strength; refrigerate to set. Make extras to allow for breakage. Carefully peel off waxed paper and set aside.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla. blend in flour. Form into balls and chill for 15 minutes. Pat dough on bottom and up sides of pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 3
In medium saucepan, combine milk and vanilla bean and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile in mixer bowl combine sugar, flour, cornstarch, and egg yolks. Beat on high speed until thick and pale yellow, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Remove vanilla bean. Gradually pour about 1/3 of the hot milk into the egg mixture, stirring to combine. Scrape the egg mixture back into the pan and cook, whisking constantly over low to medium heat, scraping the bottom and corners of the pan to prevent scorching, until the pastry cream is thickened and begins to bubble. Continue to cook, whisking 45-60 seconds. Using a clean spatula, scrape the pastry cream into a clean bowl. If vanilla bean is not used, add 3/4 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract. Cover the surface of the custard with waxed or parchment paper to prevent skin from forming. Let cool; refrigerate before using. Will keep refrigerated up to 2 days.

A second Panhandle resident has died from a hard to treat form of staph infection in the last six weeks, the lead medical authority for the Panhandle and South Plains confirmed Friday.
But Peter Pendergrass, regional medical director for the Department of State Health Services, said the public should not be overly concerned for their personal safety and good personal hygiene practices were the best form of prevention.
A second death related to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA for short, is new information after a 13-year-old Borger boy died Nov. 9 from an apparent case of MRSA.
Pendergrass couldn't say where the second death was because of medical privacy laws.
He said hand washing is the best protection from the staph infection and recommended that people not share personal items such as clothes and razors.
"I do not believe it warrants a lot of anxiety," Pendergrass said.
Dr. Rush Pierce, health authority for Potter and Randall counties, said Thursday there was no need to close schools and clean top to bottom.
He said parents shouldn't keep their children out of school or activities from fears of MRSA infection.
"It doesn't live on walls," Pierce said of the bacterium. "It lives on skin."

Historical Traveler Reviews Santa Lucia Hotel Palma Nova
Excellent, will definately come back
Excellent hotel and resort. This is a Thomson only hotel, I booked it on [-] . We booked 8 days before we went, 2 until the 9th of March 2007, every room faces the sea, our room was almost the furthest away from the sea yet it was still superb view. We are considering going again in September with friends and wouldn't hesitate to recomend it to anyone. The rooms were superb and carpeted, as were the corridoors, very rare for Spanish hotels, which meant it was very quiet. Our TV was free, received CNN News, Sky News, BBC News, BBC2 Eurosport to name a few, the room service was excellent. The staff were friendly and entertainment first class together with the reps. The food was good, buffet, with a wide variety on offer.
Negative things:
Sun terrace/swimming pool didn't open till 8 am, the sauna shut from 11 am until 3 pm and shut down at 5 pm.
Outdoor pool looks fantastic but was very cold, best I could manage was two minutes.
The fridge in the room is on but you have to hire a key to open it.
Monroe's bar is fantastic for the young and old with a karaoke from patsy cline to oasis songs. Monroes is located coming out of hotel, turn right and its a hundred yards on left. The owner, Bibi, wouldn't except payment for the drinks on four occasions, a lovely generous man, always smiling, who made every one feel welcome.
Just outside the hotel is two bars with multi screen TVs for all the sport and two Euro's a pint for San Miguel, they serve Guiness, John Smiths, Caffreys, Tetleys, etc. all on draft.
Conclusion, superb
Fabulous Hotel
We went to the Santa Lucia Hotel, Palma Nova, for February half term week, we were not disappointed, it was a fabulous week, the hotel first class and we were very lucky with the weather it was sunny all week except for one overcast day, but still warm enoough to be out and about with just a cardigan on.
The hotel staff were very friendly and always had a smile for you. The hotel was exceptionally clean, including the public areas, toilets and restaurant.
The twin room was plenty big enough for us even with the extra bed in for our 7 year old daughter. The rooms were cleaned to a very high standard every day and the towels were changed daily.
The food, at both breakfast and dinner, was buffet style with plenty of choice and very well presented and hot (despite the negative reviews I had read about the food before we went).
They even had hot puddings which did include a bread and butter pudding with custard which my husband said was excellent.
The hotel whilst we were there was mainly occupied by older couples, which was not a problem for us and there were a couple of other families there with young children too. The hotel and resort is ideal for anybody with disabilities, the hotel even has disabled motorised scooters for hire.
The outdoor swimming pool was too cold to swim in except for the brave few!!! The indoor pool was heated and once again the pool and surrounding area was kept very clean. Sauna and Turkish Bath too.
The entertainment in the evening was mostly very good, dancing first then bingo and a live show each night.
The resort was very quiet in the evenings with not much open, but we were expecting this anyway. There were two bars open across the road from the hotel which were ideal for an after dinner drink before the hotel entertainment started and were also very welcoming.
Overall a fabulous holiday and would recommend this hotel to everyone, although I should imagine the resort would be very busy in the Summer months.
Fourth visit-hope it wont be the last
have only stayed even here in the off season so ive got no idea what it would be like in the season, but its always been busy when ive been there, the staff are always friendly and cheerful no matter how busy they are. the whole hotel is spotless, at all times. food was good, although there were a few too many fish based dishes for my liking, there were always alternatives. the entertainment was excellent, both in the main bar and the cocktail lounge. the location is superb situated on the flat, seperating two beaches. a lot of people we spoke to were, like ourselves, return guests, which should really tell you all you need to know!! a word of caution though, opposite the hotel is a small money exchange, they wanted to charge me over 200 euros commision to change �700, there are plenty of commision free agencies not much further away, use them
Un hotel encantador
En general, el Santa Lucia es un hotel muy bueno. La ubicaci�n es excepcional, la limpieza es de suma importancia, el personal fue cort�s y servicial, las habitaciones eran c�modas con buenas instalaciones, y el entretenimiento variaba cada noche. S�, hay bingo todas las noches, pero es solo un juego, el cual tarda aproximadamente diez minutos m�ximos. No fue problema. Odio el bingo. El guitarrista y el tocador del teclado en el bar de c�cteles a las 11:00 p.m. cada noche son geniales. Fui todas las noches. La comida es buena y t�pica de un hotel espa�ol de buena calidad. Enfatizo espa�ol. No lo compares a un hotel ingl�s. El desayuno bufet caliente pudo haber estado m�s caliente, pero la selecci�n de otras comidas es buena. Yo en realidad no quiero un desayuno grasoso lleno de colesterol todos los d�as, aunque si lo disfruto un par de d�as a la semana. Hay fruta, yogur, cereal, gachas de cereales, queso, jam�n, tostadas, todo tipo de t�, caf� y jugo. Es una selecci�n excelente. La cena tambi�n es buena. De nuevo, fue un bufet caliente y fr�o excelente con una buena selecci�n de postres, pasteles, y fruta. El hotel est� m�s adaptado a adultos--honestamente, a adultos mayores. No hab�a instalaciones para ni�os. Regresaremos. Pasamos unas vacaciones de invierno maravillosa.
A lovely hotel
All in all the Santa Lucia is a very good hotel. Location is superb, cleanliness is of paramount importance, staff are courteous and helpful, rooms are comfortable with good facilities, entertainment varies each night - yes there is bingo every evening but only one game which lasts about 10 mins max - not a problem and I hate bingo. The guitarist and key board players in the cocktail bar at 11 p.m. each night are brilliant- went in every night. The food is good and typical of a good quality Spanish hotel - I emphasise Spanish - don't compare it to an English hotel - the hot buffet at breakfast could be hotter but the choice of other items is good - I for one don't want a greasy cholesteral laden breakfast every day - although I do enjoy it a couple of times a week. There is fruit, yoghurts, cereals, porridge, cheese, ham, toast, all kinds of tea, coffees and juice - an excellent choice. Dinner is good too - again an excellent hot/cold buffet with a good choice of desserts, cakes and fruit. The hotel is geared up mainly towards adults - and in all honesty the more mature adult - there aren't any facilities for children. We will be returning - we had a wonderful winter's week break.
Loved the Location
I booked the Santa Lucia through the Thomson website in October and was pleasantly suprised by the good value for money I received.
The Santa Lucia is in an excellent location right on the beach front in the centre of Palma Nova. The hotal facilities were good, rooms comfortable and clean with excellent views of the beach. There are lots of things to do in the surronding area with the resort of Magalluf only a short walk away. I thououghly enjoyed my stay in this hotel and found it very relaxing.
Me encantó la ubicación
Hice reservaciones en el Santa Lucia a trav�s del sitio Web Thomson en octubre, y estuve agradablemente sorprendida con la buena relaci�n calidad precio que recib�. El Santa Luc�a est� en una ubicaci�n excelente justamente por la playa en el centro de Palma Nova. Las instalaciones del hotel eran buenas. Las camas estaban c�modas y limpias, y ten�an vistas excelentes de la playa. Hay tantas cosas que hacer en el �rea con el complejo de Magaluf a una corta caminata. Disfrut� mi estancia en este hotel completamente, y lo encontr� muy relajante.
Losing its touch!
I booked this hotel with Thomson for a one week stay before christmas. I booked based on previous recommendations on how good the food & accommodation was at this hotel.
The hotel itself changed hands last year and is now under Hoteteur hotels and is not an Acorn hotel. This change of hands has not been for the better.
The hotel itself is clean; the staff I spoke to were very friendly and always pleasant with any enquiries. The rooms are basic, clean and comfortable. The indoor leisure facilities are not bad, the turkish steam room was broken for the duration of my stay but the pool and sauna were available. The only issue lies with the food in the hotel, it is appalling. The one reason I had booked this hotel was the glowing reports the hotel has in previous years, in particular regarding the quality of the food.
The food offered at the dinner buffet was half cooked and had been left under a hot lamp for the best part of 1-1.5 hours on some nights I had noticed. Food was of poor quality, half cooked and not very appetising. On some nights it was difficult to choose anything suitable to eat and when you did it was lukewarm. Thomsons UK brochure rating for this hotel has dropped sharply this year due to the food issues so you have been warned.
Thank goodness for home
We have just come back today from this hotel and belive me it was a mad house, The food is not nice at all .The kids were so bored they were running up and down the place till well after midnught, And the rooms dont get done till 3pm or after, New Years eve was nice but one night out of seven is a bit much. The lifts are so slow you stand about for ages and the entertainment was music from the ark. I am now told that this hotel has got new owners a group own it. If you want cold food no entertainment kids up and down till midnight, Well go here for a week
Good Location-Friendly Hotel
Went to the Santa Lucia after getting a late booking with Thomsons. The wether for this time of year was excellent mid to high 80's. The hotel is ideally situated right on the beach, about 300m from the centre of Palma Nova.
The hotel is more geared for the middle to old aged persons with very little in the way of facilities for young children or teenagers (No Kids clubs etc).
The staff at the hotel were excellent and very friendly - we could not fault the service we received. The hotel is very clean and the rooms all have sea views. The bedrooms are on the small size especially if you have three beds in them - but they are well furnished with good facilities.
The entertainment in the main lounge uincluded bingo and line dancing every night and some cabaret (the magician was excellent, but several iffy singers). The best entertainment was found in the cocktail bar later - with Pablo who played an excellent guitar and put on a cracking show 4 night a week.
All in all a very good hotel - especially if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing break.

Travel Blogs from Palma Nova
Bumming around Palma
... time in museums, this actually suited me just fine, and being another beautiful sunny day, I was happy to spend it wandering around outside. I started out the day by walking down to the cathedral. It is a stunning piece of architecture that is still I use today. Winding down and through the lanes and side streets I found myself at the waterfront and the sound of hip-hop music and lots of people exercising! This was definitely not something that I was expecting, especially on ...
Can't ditch the last bike day!
... up touring over 250m of elevation climbing the reverse route from the mountain climbing day I missed a few days previous. Stunning views, more interesting switchbacks and road maneuvering, a nice way to end rides. Stayed at the hotel in Palma Nova for the afternoon, taking advantage of the pool and a last dinner with the WCCC folks before they headed out early the next morning and I headed to Palma for my day in the 'big ...
There are good days and bad days, even on vacation
... and I am happy I persevered through instead of sliding into the sag wagon. It was a small reminder for me that sometimes, even on vacation, you have to get ok with what and where you are, and sometimes that takes more effort than expected... But in the end it's worth it. It's also good to remember now and again what it feels like to really empty the tank! And now to share some of the photos that I did manage to sneak in along the ...
The Cake Route
Aptly named, this mostly flat route has the bonus of stopping at a well-known restaurant for fantastic cakes at the midpoint. I'll be honest, while it was nice to be back on the bike again, visiting the shop and seeing how much pride the creator of these goodies had with her wares... And the joy in parsing them up for people to consume was a close second. Did I mention that at 95km in length, this ...
Chill down day
A drive along the coast to Santinyl beach for lunch and a swim in the sea for Tony. Afternoon by the pool before dinner in a local restaurant.

The motto of the Boy Scouts of America is "Be Prepared". Prepared for what? Well, any old thing said our founder. Being prepared for your backpacking trek is an absolute must. When planning your next trek you need to consider those things that can go wrong. Preparedness will reduce the risk and make the trek a lot more fun.
Andrew Skurka, an Ultimate hiker, Adventurer, and Guide, shares on his website "When I embark on a trip, I always try to abide by the Boy Scout motto — "Be prepared" — by bringing three types of resources, either carried on my back or between my ears, to help me achieve my goals: Gear, e.g. clothing, shelter, stove, etc. Supplies, e.g. food, water, fuel, etc. Skills, e.g. how to hike efficiently, select good campsites, purify water, start a fire, navigate on-trail and off-trail, ford snowmelt-fed rivers, stay warm when it's cold and wet, etc."
Being prepared for those things that can go wrong starts with training yourself and your group to do things right. Practice packing, unpacking, setting up gear, looking at the individual gear and group gear that is on the trip. Map reading, first aid, and an honest to goodness understanding of where you are going.
Before a trek learn about the conditions you are walking into and how to deal with them. Trail conditions, weather, and the condition of your crew.
You know the route and conditions but what can go wrong? Plan for it. Injuries? How do we react if someone twists an ankle? Big cuts? Sickness? What are your bail out plans and how have you communicated them?
There is a fine line between over packing for your plan and making sure you are prepared to react. I have hiked with guys that carry 65 lb packs because they plan for every contingency. You can build kits for every plan, but what about that great tool between your ears.
In our Troop we have very few rules. Rule number 1 is always to Have fun. Rule #2 is no one gets hurt, if you are hurt you are not having fun. Rule #3 is refer to the Oath and Law. That is it. Not getting hurt and putting yourself in a position to get hurt is a person thing and starts between the ears.
I have heard the saying "stay low and slow" on the trail. That means to keep a good pace that reduces chance of injury and to stay grounded on the trail. Jumping, climbing, and choosing to venture on bad trail increases the chance of injury. Assess the risk and then go if it is safe.
Look at what you carry to react to or mitigate risk and risky situations. We all carry the 10 essentials and in a lot of cases we carry gadgets and neat tools to make our backpacking experience fun. Do you know how to use it all and have you ever needed it. If the answer is no to one or both, get it out of your pack.
So what can go wrong?
Injuries. Probably the thing that we worry about the most, but the fact of the matter is that we rarely have injuries that can not walk themselves off the trail.
Getting lost. This is a big one. More people get lost because they rely on guide books, GPS, and the fact that because they shop at REI they think they can take their shiny Subaru to a trail head and go hiking. Learn to read a map and use a compass. Train yourself on terrain association and staying oriented on the trail. Don't wander or allow group members to wander off or away. Have a plan to rally should something go wrong while on the trail.
When hiking with a group always stop at any trail intersection and wait for the group to catch up. Stop and check the map every once in a while. Make sure that lots of people in the crew have a map.
Weather. We can not control the weather, but we can plan for it. Rain is not a downer on the trail if you are prepared. Know when the weather is going to change by monitoring the forecast in the area. Know that it will get darker sooner if you have heavier cloud cover.
If you are not prepared to hike during hours of limited visibility, be prepared to start looking for good camp locations before it gets dark.
Have a plan for water. Filtering, boiling, or carrying a lot of it. You need water. Plan your day around your water availability and resources.
Sit down and list all of the things that you think will go wrong on your trek. Think of ways that you can reduce those risks and plan for how you are going to address them when and if they happen.
Planning prevents poor performance and when you are backpacking you need to be aware and be prepared.
Know all of the skills that will make your trek fun. Make sure that you share that knowledge with the members of your group.
Skills, Gear, and Supplies will get you through the toughest times on the trail. What you have between your ears will go along way to making it a fun trek. Your skills and attitude will reduce the risks that come with backpacking. In short. Be Prepared.
In our next segment we will talk about preparation of gear and what to consider for your next long trek.
Have a Great Scouting Day.

Planning a Backpacking Trek pt. 3
The motto of the Boy Scouts of America is "Be Prepared". Prepared for what? Well, any old thing said our founder. Being prepared for your backpacking trek is an absolute must. When planning your next trek you need to consider those things that can go wrong. Preparedness will reduce the risk and make the trek a lot more fun.
Planning a Backpacking Trek pt. 2
We have picked our destination, did a good map survey, know how long we are going be gone, and are super pumped that we will soon be on the trail.
The next thing that we need to plan is our food.
Why do I plan food second? Food is an important part of your backpacking trek. It is the nourishment that will keep you on the trail, it takes up space in your pack, it has weight, and it requires preparation before you leave and while on the trail. How are you going to cook it? What type of foods are you taking? What do you like?
To many people think that trail food is trail food, but you can eat pretty much what ever you like on the trail. You just need to plan and prepare it.
Freeze Dried meals and quick, easy and light and are a good option on the trail. Dehydrating your own food is another great way to eat well and enjoy your meals on the trail.
Of course you can also pack in fresh foods or prepackaged meals. All of these are good options. I thought I would take a few minutes and discuss some thoughts I have on meal options.
When I plan for meals on the trail I take into consideration a few things.
1. How long am I going to be out. This is a big consideration as it will determine whether or not I can take fresher foods out with me. Taking a nice steak out for dinner works if it is going to be cooked in the first day or two. It requires a little more cold storage, which in turn becomes more weight. I like a steak in the woods every now and then, but knowing how long I am going to be out is a consideration that I need to add to my decision-making.
2. What are the conditions going to be. The weather plays a large role in my decision-making. Do I need to take more "warming foods" because of the cold, or can I get away with meals that are just filling. That steak I mentioned. Great winter camping food. It will keep longer and the smell and taste are great motivators on a snowy night. Along with the food, beverages need to be planned for due to conditions. I like my coffee in the morning no matter what, but I may not take coco in the summer and drink water instead.
Hot beverages are a morale builder in the cold. They do not really do much to warm the body, but you feel like it anyway. They need to be planned for.
If it is real rainy, you will want to plan for foods that can be eaten on the move, or provide quick nutrition. Same goes for winter camping. You want food that is quickly prepared and consumed. You may not want to wait around in the rain to long for your meal to cook. Then when you get to camp and get shelter set up, a longer prep time meal is in order.
3. Hot meals and Cold meals. How many hot meals do you want to eat on the trail. Hot meals require cooking. Cooking requires fuel and time and pots or pans. Decide how many hot meals you need for your trip. Typically one hot meal is good enough for a day, and typically that meal is your evening meal or dinner. This gives you something warm and solid in your belly for a good nights sleep. Eating a quick non cook breakfast and trail lunch are great options to reduce the amount of fuel you need to carry and make you day on the trail fun and easy.
I love the cinnamon toast crunch bars for breakfast, throw in a pop tart and you have a feast.
Breakfast. They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. On the trail, some quick energy to get you going is essential. But it need not be complicated or big. Breakfast bars or breakfast drinks are fantastic means of protein and energy to get you going. This is where planning is important for your day on the trail. A quick breakfast before you hit the trail for the day is enough when you know that your lunch is only hours away. In most cases lunch is on the go, so if mid morning hunger strikes, there is always a pouch of nuts or granola just a hip pocket away. It is also important to plan for how you going to eat your breakfast meal. On colder mornings, an idea is to pack up and hit the trail. Hike for about an hour or so, then stop and eat. This allows for the body to warm on its own, the temperature to rise and you get a quick jump on the day. If you get to a camp site that will require a climb first thing in the morning, climb and then eat breakfast. Putting your face in the sun and eating a nice cup of oatmeal is a nice way to start a day on the trail.
Lunch. I am not a big fan of "lunch" on the trail. The mid day meal should be quick and easy. More like snacking along the way. Trail mix, Jerky, and powdered sports drink are good. Throw in some cheese sticks and you have a nice "lunch" on the trail. I was over the course of the day. Eating when we take longer breaks or at a point of interest. I plan for enough snacks to get me about three servings over the course of a day.
Dinner. The evening meal for me is the big one. This is the meal that marks the end of a great day. It is tasty and filling. I am a big fan of dehydrating my own food. There are lots of resources out there to help you with recipes and dehydrating tips. My favorite site is the Hungry Hammock Hanger. This guy has got it going on for back country cooking, specializing in dehydrating your meals. The thing that I really love about it is that I cook it all, eat some, dehydrate some and get to eat it again on the trail. This method is great for portion control and taste.
Prepackaged meals like Mountain House and Pack it Gourmet are also great options and can be prepared to cook in groups also.
Plan and Prepare.
Preparing your meals are an important part of your outdoor adventure. Repackage everything. No cans, No boxes, no extra wrapping. Get in your mind to reduce your trash to 1 zip lock quart bag. Everything needs to be reduces to be packed out in that bag. I am not a fan of eating out of bags, some folks like the idea so they do not have to clean pots and bowls. There is just something about it that I don't like. So even Mountain House meals get repackaged into a smaller zip lock bag and re-hydrated in my pot on the trail.
Reducing the amount of trash you have and marking the food makes life easy on the trail. I have seen a numbering system or just writing the day for the meal on the bag. This works great when planning for group cooking.
Water plays a major role in meal planning, preparation, and clean up. Know how much you will have available when planning your meals. If you are boiling water for your meals, there is no need to filter, or at a minimum running the water through a coffee filter to get the sticks and rocks out is all you need. Save filtered water for drinking. Same goes for cleaning. There is no need to filter if you are going to boil your dishes clean. A small amount of camp suds goes a long way too when clean up is concerned. Do not skimp on water. You need it to stay hydrated and you need it to re-hydrate. Make sure that when you re-hydrate your meals that they are completely re-hydrated. Eating partially re-hydrated meals is not good for you and will lead to issues on the trail.
You need to protect your food. First from spoiling and then from critters. Get in the habit of preparing your meals so they will have the least amount of chance of going bad. Be careful not to cross contaminate your food when you prepare. Then get in the habit of using a bear bag and hanging it. No matter what the conditions or circumstance, get your food away from your camp area and get it high. Bears are typically the least concern, but protecting your food is important. If your food is robbed by critters, your trip is over. Check local ranger stations or land managers for regulations. A lot of areas are starting to require bear canisters. They are a nice way to protect your food. Waterproof, odor resistant, and nice to have in camp. It is work having a few in your group for smell-able items that need to be protected.
Remember that when you protect your food, you are also protecting you. Getting the food away from camp keeps you out of harms way.
Meals are a big part of your backpacking adventure. Do not take this process lightly.
We will talk about planning for problems in our next post.
What are your favorite trail meals?

Planning a Backpacking Trek pt. 1
Whether it is for your Scout Troop or you are heading out into the wilderness by yourself or with buddies there are some things that need to be planned before you go. To get the most of your backpacking experience if you follow a few steps, you won't forget something and will set yourself up for a worry free backpack trek.
First. Figure out where you want to go. Once you do some online research or hit a few guide books and talk to friends, pick a trek. Next, and way before you get your heart set on the amazing adventure.. Get the map or maps for that section of trail. Do an exhaustive map recon of the trip.
During your map check look for:
Trail head location. Can you get there and are there facilities at the trail head? Restrooms, safe parking, water?
If you are making your trek a loop, can you get in and get out at that trail head or do you need to move the car to a different location and shuttle to the trail head. This would apply for an in and out hike too. You may need to check with local guides for shuttles, but you better plan for it or you will find yourself in a pickle real quick.
Look on the map for camp locations along the route. What is the water availability along the way and in camp locations?
What is the terrain like. Check out those contour lines… Don't be surprised once you get on the trail.
This is a great time to learn to really read map detail. You should know the trail so well from studying the map that you recognize the terrain and land marks as you hike it.
This is also the time where you plan for bail outs. Locations on the map that will allow you to get out if the weather turns south or someone in the party gets hurt. Road intersections, crossing trails and mile markers that will allow for quick decision-making when out on the trail.
Now that you have your map and you know where you want to go and see, how far do you want to make the trek. You will need map in hand to figure this one out also. Your distance will determine a lot in the trip planning.
How far can you go each day? How many days are you going to be out on the trail? Based on the trail, how far can you push or relax daily? What is the trail like and how difficult? This will determine how far you may get each day and how far you will want to go total. But there may be a certain location or destination that you are looking at getting to. How far do you need to go to get there and answer all the questions that we listed above.
Also consider the time of year you are heading out. Crowds, snow, and closures are all things to consider. You need to make sure that you have appropriate permits for the area that you are heading into and think about your group size.
I am a big fan of trekking to a destination. Mileage means far less to me than seeing something cool.
Planning using your map will get you started on a great backpacking trip. In our next post we will talk about gear selection and what to bring. In the next few post we will discuss food, problems, and preparation for a long trek.
Thanks for reading the blog.

Backpack cooking- Patrol Method
Since word is out that our Troop is doing a 10 day backpacking trip this summer as our summer camp, there has been some concern as to how we are going to incorporate all of the "Scouting Methods" that normally come with the summer camp experience.
Well, I would first of all suggest that our Scouts will have more of the Scouting methods during our 10 day adventure than most Troops will have during your typical Summer camp experience, namely in the area of cooking.
Most summer camps offer a dining hall with cafeteria or family style dining. This is great and takes a lot of pressure off of the Scouts during the day.
Our Scouts this summer will be using the Philmont cooking methods for our meals. This will ensure that the patrols or crews will eat together, share responsibility, and eat the appropriate amount of calories that will be required on the trail.
I visited the Philmont web site and recalled a video we shared with our Crews before we went to Philmont. This video basically sums up how we will be doing our cooking this summer while we trek through the Olympic National Forest.
Our Scouts will be eating on the go for breakfast and lunch, much like the Philmont experience. We downloaded the Philmont menus plans for breakfast, lunch and dinner, to get a good feel for our planning. It looks like we will pretty much stick to their plan. Why reinvent the wheel?
Patrol or Crew cooking in this fashion will be a great experience for our Troop. We are going to start using this method with our next camp out and continue to practice this through summer camp. This means each camp out till July will incorporate our meal plan and methods for preparing, cooking, and cleaning while on the trail. This should be real fun at Camporee this year.
I'd love to know how you all cook on the trail or in camp. Leave a comment.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
What's in your Backpack?
I was bouncing around on some of the blogs and found a cool post on a blog that I follow. The subject was something that I think we all do or have, but give little or no thought to… What do you keep in your pack, or items that never leave your pack. I read her list and then some of the comments and it got me to thinking and actually running out to my pack to see what I never take out.
I assumed at the outset that this list was to be that stuff that NEVER comes out of my pack.. so for me that would be those items that I take no matter what kind of camping I am doing, no matter where I am going, or no matter how long or far I am venturing in the woods.
The other component to this discussion is who I am camping with. Scouts or just friends and family.
So I want to know what those items are in your pack. Here is my list of items that just never come out of the pack.
1. First Aid kit. I check it annually when we show the new Scouts some of the things that they should consider when making their own kits. But it never comes out of my pack and is always loaded in the right hip belt.
2. Poop kit. This kit consists of bags, toilet paper, Wet One singles. Pretty sure that's self explanatory.
3. Ditty bag of fire starting materials. A couple cotton balls covered in Vaseline, a few Wet Fire cubes, a Light My Fire fire steel, and a few sticks of Fat wood and a lighter.
4. Zip lock bag with one extra wool socks.
5. Ditty bag with about 50 feet of line and a compass, Micro pure tablets.
6. UCO Candle Lantern
7. Headlamp and 2 extra batteries.
8. Clothing bag with synthetic long sleeve top, Poly long bottoms, beenie hat, light gloves.
9. Hammock (Warbonnet Blackbird) and Tarp (Warbonnet Super Fly)
10. Water Filter
I remove my tarp and hang it dry for a day or so then it goes right back in.
I always keep my Top quilt and Under quilt hanging till I need them.
Clothing is decided in planning for the trip.
Food bag is clipped to backpack till I load it. Water Bladders are in food bag till they are filled.
Cook kit is loaded on outside of pack and I decide how much fuel etc when I meal plan.
I wear my knife (Light My Fire Mora).
So that's the basics.. What never leaves your Pack?

Snow Peak 700 Review
Well, It's Sunday and today we are celebrating our Troops 10th Anniversary as well as Scouting's 104th. Every year our Troop hosts its annual Red and Green Dinner. A celebration of the Troop and Scouting. This year we will recognize former Troop members and have a great time looking back on the 10 years that got us where we are today.
Today, since my day is dedicated to the Troop's Red and Green, I thought I'd share this gear review with you.
Quickly becoming my "Go to" pot/cook set again, I went away from it for some time in favor of the Imusa mug. I still like the Imusa, it gives me some options in cooking namely the size of the pot that the Snow peak 700 does not.
For the size and weight though, it's tough to find a better pot for backpacking and cooking single servings.
Enjoy the review, let me know what you think. Drop us a comment.

Saturday Quick Tip – Sleeping bag storage
Here is your Saturday Quick tip. This week we are talking about taking care of your sleeping bag. The best way to store your sleeping by laying it flat. But most of us just do not have that kind of room in our house, so the next best method of storing your sleeping bag is by hanging it. This allows the air to circulate and keep the bag fresh as well as maintain the loft of the insulation. It does not matter if it is synthetic or down, the insulation once crushed will tend to stay that way over time. Crushed insulation will take longer to loft when needed and because synthetic fiber have memory, you will, over time lose much of the "R" value of your sleeping bag.
If you can not hang your gear, storing the bag in an over sized cotton bag is the way to go. An extra-large pillow case or bag like that will do. The point is get your bag out of the compression bag and let it air out and maintain its loft.
Remember, you paid a lot of hard-earned cash for that sleeping bag with the hope that it will be there for you when you want a nice comfortable sleep in the woods. Take care of it and it will take care of you.
If you have comments or suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

J Falk Wood Burning stove
For those of you looking to play around with other stoves for backpacking you know that I have played around with a couple different Wood gas or Wood burning stoves. I currently use the Solo Stove for wood burning, but I found this older video of my first shot at wood burning stoves. The J Falk Bushwhacker Stove is a nice stove that you should give a try. Whether you make one or buy one, they are fun little stoves to play around with. They are efficient and economical. The stoves are safe and easy to make or buy. We have used them to fulfill the "Cook over open fire" requirement also… so give it a shot. Here are the instructions for making your own Bushwhacker stove. CLICK HERE

Teriyaki Chicken
Back in 2009, I posted this recipe and a video on my YouTube channel. Well since I have been consolidating the channel and working hard on Blog content, I stumbled on this recipe and the video on an old hard drive. I retooled the video and thought this was a great meal for anyone on the trail.
So you might say that I am re-purposing recycling the post, but trust me this is a recipe that you will enjoy. So try this one. You will love it.

Of course, the laws of science contain no matter and have no energy either and therefore do not exist except in people's minds...It's best to refuse to believe in either ghosts or the laws of science."
-excerpts from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig
The book goes on and on about this for about a whole chapter but those are my most favorite and what I think to be, the furthest reaching parts. Pirsig here has a very valid point, society over the past few hundred years has migrated from a more spiritual one to a more definitive one. A society based more on reason, numbers and more well-sounded explanations. As we all know this idea is not new and the debate has gone on for hundreds of years and will continue to go on for a hundred years more.
The idea that religion gives something for an individual to live for is completely subjective. The greatest and most wide-spread monotheistic religions being, Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam are consequential, restrictive, and law encompassing religions. To put it more simply "Do this you go to hell...do this your going to heaven...sex is for procreatoin only...you mother must have Jewish blood." Some people need to a part from a social institution such as this to lead lives of moral goodness, humanity and civility. Other on the other hand find that it is self-satisfying to be a good person, to help others and to give means to live a decent lifestyle to those who cannot afford one on their own accord and actively participate in other forms of charitable works. And still there are others that live by not a single moral conviction and do what makes them happy regardless of the implications it may have on others around them, maybe to them religion is "out of style" and for the sad part many people do believe. But this does not mean living a life of compassion is not.
Religion, faith and spirituality are things I believe to be lived by an individual individually. The views and beliefs of one Catholic to another or a Jew to a Jew are bound to be different. A personal relationship with God, or a good self-handle on your own spirituality I find is the best solution for all. Although I do not at all find this to be doctrine, I strongly believe that people doing good for whatever reason they find suitable is good enough and that as long as there is no oustanding harm being done to one another that is good enough. So yes, are these religious wars absolutely contrary to their very own religion and much of the time based on misinterpreted or miscontrued texts? Absolutely.
So I say to myself, I am not going to take up the cross of a faith created thousands of years ago that has created problems for itself, I will not become part of an insitution and thus, their problems become mine. I myself am able to be a good person, kind-hearted and caring without the consequences of a fiery eternity after life. Being able to do my miniscule part in making this place where I live better is enough for me.

This rating is based on COH being oversold and cannot go any lower?
Does SA realize the fact that KORS is taking market share from COH?
COH has trade down from $78 to $48 and now it is a buy? KORS has traded from $30 to $60 and now it is time to hold?
This is not right. I was taught the trend is your friend. There is a reason KORS stock is appreciating and COH is depreciating.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
If you want some idea of how they analyze stocks, take a look at the recent ratings given to JC Penney. One firm moved from out perform down to perform on a stock that could go bankrupt in two years..
Well, I give KORS a buy rating with a price target of $75 and COH gets a sell rating.
stock go higher usually go higher for a reason
stock that are going down are usually going down for a reason
coh -- is a value trap -- its loosing vast maket share in the usa --

First Update
Lowndes County officials say that the Colorado Police Department has found Nathan Wilkins who was safe; no motive is yet confirmed for his disappearance.
Initial Story
The Lowndes County Sheriff's Office needs your help after a Valdosta State University student has gone missing.
Officials with the office say that the family of 19-year-old Nathaniel Wilkins reported him as missing Monday afternoon after he was last seen on Thursday, April 18 when they dropped him for his class at the university.
Authorities say that on Monday afternoon, a person fishing from the banks of the Little River at the Lowndes â" Brooks County line on Morven Road noticed clothing that appeared to be suspicious. When the fisherman examined the clothes he located a note believed to be from Nathaniel Wilkins and became even more suspicious. The Brooks County Sheriff's Office was called and responded to the scene.
Based on the discovery, authorities say that the dive team from the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office also responded to the scene along with boats from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to assist Brooks County with the search effort. Following an extensive search at the Little River and based on additional investigation, officials say the search effort at the river has been discontinued despite Wilikins not yet being located; investigators no longer believe he is in the river.
Sheriff Prine is asking that anyone with information about Nathaniel Wilkins is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at {229} 671-2950, anonymous tips may be placed at {229} 671-2985 or on-line at www.lowndessheriff.com.

under the 2011 ANSI Standard.'' Accordingly, a transition period will ease the burden on handset
manufacturers that are close to introducing handsets that would have met hearing aid compatibility
requirements under the old rules, but that without an accommodation would require retesting, or in some
cases redesign, to be hearing aid-compatible under the new rules.
16. Most commenters that address the issue support the 12-month transition period proposed
in the Second Further Notice as sufficient to meet manufacturers' needs.43 TIA argues that a 24-month
transition period is needed to allow sufficient time for laboratory equipment to be developed and tested,
as well as to accommodate possible parts shortages and other unexpected developments.44 In its
comments, TIA does not distinguish clearly between the transition period for multi-band and multi-mode
testing and the transition period for applying deployment benchmarks, and to the extent it is concerned
about uncertainties that may affect when models can be introduced to or withdrawn from the market, its
arguments appear to pertain only to the separate transition for applying existing deployment benchmarks.
To the extent TIA is concerned about the availability of testing equipment, we note that nearly 10 months
have already passed since the 2011 ANSI Standard was published, and that manufacturers have had the
opportunity to use that time to develop such equipment. We are not persuaded that an additional 24
months is needed, particularly in light of the other comments from manufacturers and service providers
indicating that 12 months is sufficient.
17. We clarify that during the 12-month transition period, manufacturers that choose to test a
multi-band and/or multi-mode handset model only for those operations covered under the 2007 ANSI
Standard must use the 2007 ANSI Standard for such testing. Conversely, if manufacturers choose to use
the 2011 ANSI Standard, they must test all operations in the handset that fall within the 2011 ANSI
Standard, subject only to an accommodation for VoLTE transmissions. We find that permitting use of the
2011 ANSI Standard to test only those operations covered under the 2007 ANSI Standard would be
confusing and would discourage early testing of newly covered air interfaces and frequency bands.5
Some commenters express concern that, given the lack of guidance for testing the inductive coupling
capability of VoLTE transmissions, a simple choice between these two alternatives would make it
impossible to test any handset with VoLTE capability under the 2011 ANSI Standard for any of its
operations.46 In recognition of this concern, until such guidance is issued during the 12-month transition
period, OET will permit handsets to be certified for inductive coupling under the 2011 ANSI Standard if
they meet at least a T3 rating for all operations covered under that standard other than for VoLTE.47
Manufacturers and service providers will be required to disclose that such handsets have not been tested
for all their operations as discussed below.48 We expect that during the next 12 months, industry
members will work with the standards bodies to finalize all guidance necessary to facilitate full
application of the 2011 ANSI Standard, and we will provide all possible support to this endeavor. In the
42 See Second Further Notice, 26 FCC Rcd at 14996 9 ("We understand that most handsets are expected to have
little difficulty meeting the hearing aid compatibility rating criteria over Wi-Fi and other currently existing or
imminently expected air interfaces that are outside the 2007 ANSI Standard.")
43 See CTIA Reply Comments at 6-7; HIA Comments at 2, 3-4; Samsung Comments at 4.
44 TIA Comments at 4; TIA Reply Comments at 2-3.
4 Accordingly, we revise Section 20.19(b)(3)(ii) of our proposed rule to clarify that the 2007 ANSI Standard must
be used for these tests during the 12-month transition period. See infra App. B.
46 See AT&T Reply Comments at 3-4; CTIA Reply Comments at 7-10; Samsung Comments at 4-5.
47 Alternatively, to the extent a manufacturer is able to test inductive coupling capability for VoLTE transmissions
under the 2011 ANSI Standard prior to the issuance of general guidance, OET will accept such testing if it meets
OET's standards under 47 C.F.R. 2.1033(d).
4 See infra note 48.

A board that was designed from the ground up for riders 95 lbs. and lighter, the Ronix Vision Wakeboard helps young riders gather the skills necessary to shred like a pro. From the wider tip/tail for easier deep water starts, to the two built-in fiberglass fins for better traction while cutting across the water, the Ronix Vision Wakeboard makes wakeboarding just as fun for the youngsters as it is for grown ups.
3-Stage Early Rocker | 8.4° An earlier arc with a mellower degree will have a smoother, more consistent glide up the wake. A rider will be able to carry more speed up the transition and land tricks further out into the flats. Early Rocker does not yield the straight up snap provided by late rocker, but rather allows a rider to have a faster, more predictable, effortless take off.
