A fractured humerus will he be able to drive?
Q: Hi, I wanted to ask you a question. My father broke his right arm and he fractured his humerus, and after 6 weeks, the doctor told us to do some exercises and due to that the alignment shifted. The doctor told us that we are hoping that there would be new bone development around the humerus to cover it. I wanted to know how much longer would it take for the humerus to heal and will my father be able to drive?

Choosing The Right Ski Goggles
Browse all ski goggles to find the right pair for your next trip down the slopes.
Most snow and ski goggles are made from materials that include polycarbonate, plastic and soft hypoallergenic foam to provide athletes with ultimate comfort and eye protection on the slopes.
Winter goggles make your time on the slopes more enjoyable with features like:
- Abrasion-resistant and anti-fogging lenses
- Mirrored lens for extra bright conditions
- Cylindrical and spherical goggle design with adjustable straps to conform to your face shape and size
- Provide excellent color definition and contrast

Expert Advice
Snowboard goggles and ski goggles provide riders and skiers with eye protection from the elements such as bright sunlight, blowing snow, and more. The best snowboard goggles should provide a comfortable fit with the right amount of tint for the weather conditions. While finding a stylish pair of goggles you want to wear is important, there are other buying considerations we recommend.
What type of conditions will you most likely be riding in?
- Sunny Try on a pair of bright sun goggles with UV protection or mirrored goggles
- Evening A pair of flat to night goggles or non-mirrored goggles may be the best goggles for you
- All Weather All weather goggles
If you wear eye glasses, OTG (over the glasses) goggles may be the best ski goggles for you.
While the design may draw you to a particular pair of goggles, keep added features in mind like pivoting hinges, full-perimeter channel venting and dual-layer foam to ensure a snug fit and crisp vision.
While you can get a decent pair of inexpensive ski goggles that will perform just fine for the time being, consider a pair with added features like articulating outriggers and polycarbonate lenses designed to last for numerous trips down the mountain, interchangeable lenses and more.
Goggles with a pivoting hinge are particularly handy for riding with a snow helmet. Safety is extremely important on the mountain so winter accessories like ski goggles and helmets are designed to help to protect you and possibly others from serious injury.

Euglena is a genus of unicellular protists, of the class Euglenoidea of the phylum Euglenozoa (also known as Euglenophyta). Currently, over 1,000 species of Euglena have been described with many more to be discovered. Marin et al. (2003) revised the genus to include several species without chloroplasts, formerly classified as Astasia and Khawkinea. Some Euglena are considered to have both plant and animal features. Due to these dual characteristics, much debate has arisen about how they should be classified. In binomial nomenclature, according to the five-kingdom classification scheme, euglena have been accurately placed into Kingdom Protista, more specifically into Subkingdom Protozoa, and even more specifically into Phylum Mastigophora, which use flagellum as a method of locomotion.
Form and function
Euglena is a protist that can both eat food as animals by heterotrophy; and can photosynthesize, like plants, by autotrophy. When acting as a heterotroph, the Euglena surrounds a particle of food and consumes it by phagocytosis. When acting as an autotroph, the Euglena utilizes chloroplasts, (hence green color) containing Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll b, and some carotenoid pigments, to produce sugars by photosynthesis. Each chloroplast has three membranes, and exist in thylakoid stacks of three. The number and shape of chloroplasts within euglenozoa varies greatly due to environmental conditions and evolutionary history. Euglena are able to move through aquatic environments by using a large flagellum for locomotion. To observe its environment, the cell contains an eyespot, a primitive organelle that filters sunlight into the light-detecting, photo-sensitive structures at the base of the flagellum; allowing only certain wavelengths of light to hit it. This photo-sensitive area detects the light that is able to be transmitted through the eyespot. When such light is detected, the Euglena will accordingly adjust its position to enhance photosynthesis. The mobility of Euglena also allows for hunting capability, because of this adaptation, many Euglena are considered mixotrophs: autotrophs in sunlight and heterotrophs in the dark. Euglena also structurally lack cell walls, but have a pellicle instead. The pellicle is made of protein bands that spiral down the length of the Euglena and lie beneath the plasma membrane.
Euglena can survive in fresh and salt water. In low moisture conditions, a Euglena forms a protective wall around itself and lies dormant as a spore until environmental conditions improve. Euglena can also survive in the dark by storing paramylon granules in pyernoid bodies within the chloroplast.
Euglenozoans. Life spans also greatly differ between each group of Euglenozoan.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America announced today that Houston's Reina Gaber (Whittier, Calif.) has been named the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 14-20. The sophomore made two pinch-hit performances to lead Houston to two wins over then-No. 16 LSU, which helped the Cougars to their first ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 ranking of the year.
Facing LSU for the first time in the Hilton Houston Plaza Invitational on Saturday, Gaber, a utility player, was called in to pinch hit in the bottom of the sixth inning. She capped off the Cougars' battle to overcome a 4-0 deficit when her long sacrifice fly to center field knocked in a run to tie the game 4-4, eventually sending the contest into extra innings. Houston went on to win 5-4 in eight.
"People around the game notice how difficult of a job that is to be the pinch hitter or designated player. To handle that pressure and perform at that level consistently is very difficult," said Houston Head Coach Kyla Holas. "I'm glad to see people are recognizing her for that."
When asked to pinch hit again when the Cougars played LSU in the Classic's finale on Sunday, Gaber shook off the pressure and produced for her team for a second time. With sophomore Ashleigh Jones on third in the bottom of the eighth, Gaber drilled a single to bring Jones home and bust up the no-hitter LSU starter Rachele Fico had kept alive for nearly eight innings. Houston defeated LSU again with a score of 1-0 in eight.
"I'm in shock, but really proud. I couldn't do the things I do without my team. If my team hadn't held off LSU and kept it at 0-0 all game, then I never would've had the chance to get that hit so it's a total team effort," said Gaber. "I hope that this is just one of many awards that brings out program recognition. We beat three ranked teams this weekend and we just want to work on getting better."
Gaber also posted a flawless 2-for-2 effort against Southern, collecting an RBI and a walk in the process to bring her weekend total to 3-for-4 with three RBI. With the 5-0 record on the weekend, it was announced that Houston is No. 23 in ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 Poll.
This is the first-time honor for Gaber.

Samsung Electronics said on Tuesday that it began shipping its 32Gb multi-level-cell (MLC) NAND flash chips with an asynchronous DDR (double data rate) interface made using 30nm-class process technology to major OEMs at the end of November.
"With the new DDR MLC NAND, double data rate transmission can be achieved without increasing power consumption, giving designers a lot more latitude in introducing diverse CE devices," said Soo-In Cho, executive vice president and general manager of the Memory Division at Samsung Electronics.
DDR NAND will sharply raise the read performance of mobile devices requiring high-speeds and large amounts of storage space. Samsung's new DDR MLC NAND chip, which reads at 133Mb/s (16.6MB/s) would replace single data rate (SDR) MLC NAND, which has an overall read performance of 40Mb/s (5MB/s).
Samsung's new asynchronous DDR MLC NAND can be used in SSDs for PCs, premium SD memory cards for smartphones, and in Samsung's proprietary moviNANDTM memory. In addition, the high-density, high-performance memory is an ideal solution for personal media players (PMPs), MP3 players and car navigation systems (CNS).
Use of 30nm-class DDR NAND enables premium memory cards to register 60Mb/s (7.5MB/s) read speeds, at least a 300% performance gain compared to SDR NAND-based memory cards with an average 17Mb/s (2.1MB/s) read speed, according to Samsung.
Production of the Samsung 30nm-class DDR MLC NAND comes just eight months after the company announced availability of its 30nm-class 32Gb MLC NAND.
According to market research firm Gartner Dataquest, the global NAND flash memory market is forecast to be worth US$13.8 billion in 2009 and reach $23.6 billion by 2012.

Very good performance from Oda. Will the judges place it above Daisuke?
Oda is smiling big!
I like this Storm music of Nobunari's, it suits him. But other than the jumps there isn't much going on. I would have Rippon ahead of him on PCS. Jmho.
Overall I guess I was expecting more from the men. I'm hoping tomorrow night's FS will be a blast, especially since I will be there watching it live.
Oda's score is 79.28
79.28 for Oda.
First place!
(I would agree)

Thank, Siberia82, I will be sure to do a write-up/review when I get back on Sunday night.
Miserable competition. Consistently inferior music (Jalousie by Takahashi .. really??? Puh -leeze). Uninspired choreography. Wobbly landings. Manufactured excitement. Ho hum. Pass me the nail file.
Do not want to hear any more about Oda's baby.
Watched live on IN ... and have never missed a FF button more.
No one's a bigger fan than me ... and no wonder we're in the toilet. This just isn't good enough.
It wasn't terrible enough to be fun-bad. And it wasn't bad-bad. It was just ... nothing.
I mean this for Men's and Pairs ... what a ZERO Skate America this is.
I have subscriptions to IN and universalsports.com. US is the worst. It's not even giving me a SA option.
Okay, enough with the bitter, I'll go have some wine and stop whining.

I am trying to compare organic veg prices with our current veg delivery. Have we ever been given a proper list of prices from Nadias? It would be much easier to compare things if I had more to go on than the scrawled bills we get each morning.
Anyway, things are looking good so far. Heads of lettuce seem to be only a few p more. Carrots, onions and potatoes are all decent prices (and local - East Lothian). They can deliver Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

It's all about corporate greed
To the editor:
Yesterday (Jan. 6) the editor was railing about president Obama sitting on the fence about the Keystone XL oil pipe line. They saying we need to complete this project to insure or energy security.
I say this is an idea designed only to promote big oil. Today it was reported that American big oil is already exporting oil, and products such as gas to far away lands! The article saying that big oil is lobbying even now to export even more American produced oil. I propose that this oil pipe line will only lend to big oil exporting Canadian oil subject to American law on export. I mean…
If this oil project is about creating jobs in America then the border state governors and congressmen should be pushing for the refinement of this oil in their own states!
If the idea is to create jobs in Minnesota, then the building and work should be done in Minnesota! Besides we don't have huricanes to hinder or damage production. In any event it is clear that Keystone is not about America, its border states or our people. It is again about corporate greed!

Are screw caps a sign of inferior wine? Our wine expert weighs in.
Q.: Recently my boss gave me a screw-cap bottle of wine. Was this a nice gesture or should I be looking for another job? A.: Corks once were the best way to seal a bottle, but they can deteriorate, giving the wine a musty, dank-cellar smell, known as cork taint. Without the cork, there can be no cork taint � that's the current thinking; hence, many wineries are opting for screw caps, even for high-end wines. So go ahead and taste the wine your boss gave you. It it's good, raise a glass to a boss who appreciates your work. It it's not, don't polish of the bottle � but do polish up your resume. By Charles Smothermon Brought to you by: Relish

That place stole their t-shirts from one company and their motto from another. Pretty lame if you ask me.
Who and who?I didn't see a t-shirt. Where did you see it?
Hummm... I'm not sure I see it quite so black and white.Papa Murphy's didn't coin the phrase "Join the [such and such] revolution," so you could just as easily say that they stole it.
Well, I can tell you right now that if I ever open a pizzeria, I'm not going to use the tag line "Even Better Ingredients. Even Better Pizza," even though my pizza and ingredients would be a ton better than Papa John's.
I think this would do well anyhwere... It will be interesting to find out how they can get a pizza done in five minutes.
Thanks Don, They don't mention anything about the dough preperation.
but all of the doughs are made in house daily,
5 minutes seems a bit better than the ten advertised by 800 degrees. I do wonder how these pizzas taste though. Some of the sites mention proofing in the pan, that would definitely cut down on the time a bit.The website actually says a 5 minute bake, not 5 minutes from walk through the door to pizza in hand.

8 Million Feet to Rome
Friday, April 29th, 2011
4 Million People. 8 Million Feet to Rome.
The funeral of Pope John Paul II was undoubtedly the largest attended funeral in the history of the world. 4 million people descended upon the Vatican in a spontaneous outpouring of love and gratitude for his life.
This was a massive communion of relative strangers.
8 Million Feet to Rome is a very personal film; a film I made as one of the four million pilgrims who attended his historic wake and funeral. I had the privilege of meeting and receiving a blessing from Pope John Paul II on two different occasions. There was a gravitational pull happening in the world on those days following his death on April 2nd, 2005. On the eve of his funeral, converging at the Papal Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, I found and followed the lives of eight young Canadians amongst the four million who spontaneously descended on the Vatican to celebrate Pope JPIIs historic life.

Nvidia Corp. announced this week its new version of stereo-3D (S3D) glasses kit designed for its proprietary 3D Vision technology and supporting devices. The new glasses became 25% more affordable, but improved battery life. The company hopes that this will help to drive popularity of stereo-3D in general and 3D Vision in particular.
The new Nvidia 3D Vision kit, which includes a pair of stereo-3D glasses (with IR receiver) and an IR emitter now costs $149, which is down $50 from its original price. The S3D glasses provide 50% longer battery life from a single charge, 60 hours compared with 40 hours before. In addition, Nvidia also lowered the price of extra wireless glasses to $119, which allows to share stereo-3D content with others.
In order to take advantage of Nvidia 3D Vision, which allows to build a stereo-3D-supporting gaming or multimedia system, one should not only acquire Nvidia-proprietary S3D glasses, but also a display or an HDTV certified for usage with Nvidia 3D Vision hardware and of course an appropriate high-performance GeForce graphics card. At present there is a significant number of full-HD displays and HDTVs supporting the 3D Vision technology.
Nvidia hopes that lower priced S3D glasses with longer battery life as well as generally widened 3D Vision eco-system will help this technology to become a major standard for gamers. While hardcore enthusiast gamers are likely to adopt 3D Vision technology, the mainstream PC gamers are more likely to prefer a single S3D standard for both ATI Radeon and Nvidia GeForce platforms.

A Way to Say Yes.
Six years ago, I received the business opportunity I had been longing for: A major parenting magazine hired me to write a bi monthly feature on child development. It was steady work at a great pay rate that would result in fantastic portfolio pieces.
There was only one problem: The offer came two weeks before I was due to give birth to my second child. Accepting the job would mean that I'd have a 2,000-word feature due before my son turned a month old. How would I juggle a newborn, a toddler and a deadline while also battling sleep deprivation during what was supposed to be my maternity leave?
But I couldn't say no. So I found a way to say yes. I realized I could get the job done as long as I didn't try to do it all myself. That led me to the smartest – and most lucrative -- decision I've made so far in my freelance writing business: outsourcing.
1. Identify time-consuming -- and dreaded -- tasks.
While I couldn't farm out the writing or the interviewing, I could hire someone to do the time-consuming job I dreaded most: transcribing my interviews. The team at CLK Transcription could turn around a 30-minute interview transcript in less than a day. I quickly realized that not only did this reduce the amount of time it took me to finish a project, thus boosting my hourly earnings, it also allowed me to take on more work. Spending money helped me make more money. In the first year, my sales went up 61 percent.
2. Remove roadblocks.
In hiring what is essentially a clerical support team, I did what Business Coach Nicole Dean calls "blasting through the roadblock" that was holding me back from growing my business. By trying to do everything myself, I was limiting my own success as well as tethering myself to my business in ways that can be unhealthy.
"Solopreneurs create jobs for themselves," says Dean, author of Outsourcing to Multiply Your Profits. "Most people start their own businesses because they want freedom, but you don't have the freedom to take a vacation if your business is 100 percent tied to you. To outsource, you have to let go of things."
Ideally, your business should be able to run, and generate income, without your micromanaging it, Dean says. With the proper support staff you can be more flexible with your schedule, take vacations and handle life's emergencies without fear that your business will suffer.
3. Do the math.
Sometimes the thought of paying someone else to do something you can do "for free" is a hard sell. But it shouldn't be. When Mallory Blair, co-founder of Small Girls PR, did the math, she realized it was cheaper to hire a bookkeeper than to keep doing the task herself.
"My bookkeeper's rate is less than half my billable rate," she says. "This means I have five to 10 more hours a month to devote to, and charge, clients. Plus, I have a professional doing what they do best who helps me clearly analyze where our expenses are going. That contributes to the bottom line in a less quantifiable, but obviously highly valuable, way."
4. Keep your eye on the bottom line.
The first things to let go of, Dean says, are the tasks and responsibilities that take you away from profit-generating work. Stacy Kildal of Kildal Services LLC, an accounting and technology consulting company in Waterford, Mich., saw her bottom line increase by 10 percent in just a few months after she started outsourcing all her administrative work. "I used to dread the callbacks with prospective clients I had to make every morning," says Kildal. "I knew my time could be better spent on more productive tasks. Now, I have more time to spend with clients and ongoing projects. I can't believe I waited so long."
Make a list of everything you have to do and put a checkmark next to the items that don't generate income. Then start asking people in your business network for recommendations on people who can help.
5. If you can't outsource, barter .
If paying someone just isn't economically feasible right now, Dean recommends trying to barter your skills with another small-business owner. For instance, if you are a web designer you might swap services with someone who can develop your marketing plan. Or try hiring an intern. Tara Horn finds interns to be less costly than hiring a professional and enjoys their attitude toward the job. "They are eager to learn, willing to try new things and aren't yet stuck in their old ways or practices," says Horn, CEO of Pearl and Clasp in New York City.

I would like to get that pitcher from japan but I don't think it will happen
MY targets would be> I am considering the Parameters of realistic cost effective signings.
(SP) Randy Wolf
(cf) Aaron Rowand
(SP) Adam Eaton
(Rp) Ron Villone
(RP) G. Mota
(OF) Trot Nixon ( I truly want this guy
(1B) Phil Nevin been passed around like a 80's party spliffy but he has talent and may come cheap
(SS) Alex Gonzalez good player and may come at a reasonable price tag
(1B) Nick Johnson a wet dream catch for the Reds and a true prize if signed (* a Non Yawner acquisition.)
(utility) Frank Cattalano ( these are the bucky dents of the world that just come up with key plays that define a season kind of guys)
(SP) Gil Meche ( possible bust out Pitcher if not , atleast a serviceable one at say 5 mill or 4 mill)
(CF) Jim Edmonds very good player and wtf do it for Grande so he can atleast finally have a love life )
(sp) Vincette Padilla electric arm nickle head but this guy ever gets it right whoa I am taking that Gamble.
Of course not all these players can be signed but these are my Topcat Gets. W#orld Series contenders ? I think nope . But stranger things have happened just ask the Mets who lost there number 1 qaqnd number 3 starters. Ask the Yankee's Heck ask Joaquin Andjuar jou neva no
2006 Redzone mock Draftee's- 1(st) Daniel Bard(redsox), 1(st sup)( Jordan Walden (Angels), 2(nd) rd.- Zach Britton(Orioles), 3(rd) Blair Erickson(Cardinals), 3(rd) Tim Norton( Yankees),(cuz its a Tim Hortons thing
Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
I'd do anything to get Zito, Soriano, El Caballo, etc, but here (like Topcat) is my list of players I'm intrigued by and are within our range.
Position players:
Wes Helms
Luis Gonzalez
David Dellucci
Moises Alou
Jose Guillen
Adam Kennedy
Vicente Padilla
Gil Meche
Tomo Ohka
Adam Eaton
Justin Speier
Dennys Reyes
Mike Stanton
Ron Villone
Chad Bradford
Mike Timlin
Chris Reitsma
What is the void option on Milton's contract?
Am I a five tooler?
I didnt know rowand was a free agent. He might be a really nice pickup. Hes not a great offensive player but his defense would help alot and his energy might help some of our players to play harder. We need to sign padilla of meche, either one would help alot.
1. does anyone know if the Padres have said if they are going to keep Cameron ( team option )? I think he would look good at GABP in CF ( for the right price ). He still plays good defense and has power & speed.
2. targets for the Reds as part of a 1b platoon if Aurillia gets too expensive:
Phil Nevin, Craig Wilson, Eduardo Perez
3. targets for 2b/ss if Freel stays in the OF:
Luis Castillo (Team Option), Mark Lorretta, Ray Durham,
Ronnie Belliard, Craig Counsell, Julio Lugo $$, Jose Valentin
All in all an unexciting list.
4. targets for CF if Freel goes to 2b. ( Note: I like Deno but I don't see Deno & Griffey playing 162 games each. I'd rather have Griffey in RF, a new CF & use Deno as the 4th OF. )
Jim Edmonds (Team Option), Mike Cameron (Team Option),
Juan Pierre :thumbdown , Kenny Lofton ( as part of a platoon ),
Gary Matthews Jr., Jay Payton, Milton Bradley,
Aaron Rowand (Player + Team Options) (arb.),
Dave Roberts, J.D. Drew (Player Void Option)
All in all a much more interesting list. Freel to 2b & signing a free agent CF seems better than Freel in CF and signing a free agent 2b/SS.
5. Targets for a #3 starter:
Tomo Ohka , Joe Mays :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown ,
Tony Armas Jr, Jason Schmidt $$$, Jeff Suppan,
Mike Mussina (Team Option), Jaret Wright (Team + Player Void options),
Vicente Padilla, Adam Eaton,
Ted Lilly ( fly ball pitcher ), Tom Glavine ( is he really a free agent ? ),
Andy Pettitte, Mark Mulder, Barry Zito $$$,
Doug Davis, Randy Wolf, Mark Buerhle (Team Option)
Daisuke Matsuzaka $$$
Kerry Wood
Some interesting names but I suspect free agent pitchers will be overpaid again.
6. targets for a closer:
Justin Speier , Scott Schoenweis , Joe Borowski ,
LaTroy Hawkins, David Weathers, Chris Reitsma
Mariano Rivera (Team Option I am sure will be picked up )
Keith Foulke (Mutual + Player Option)
Dustin Hermanson (Team option)
Eric Gagne (Team Option + Player Void Option)
Another uninspired list.
- Will
I think they should sign Craig Wilson immediately. In addition to being a good platoon partner for Hatteberg, he'd be able to play every day in the OF when Junior goes on the DL, or be an adequate contingency plan should they get a good offer for Dunn late in the offseason.
The options that the Reds are likely to be bidding for are extremely unappealing
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
I know its a stretch here but is there is a chance that the new ownership could care less about Griffey wanting to stay in center field. I mean they are taking over a team that has obviously not done well as of late. Griffey may not be a top notch centerfielder anymore, but i think he would be a top notch left fielder or even rightfielder. If I were them I would just move him, they made him no promises and they are not asking him to play first base or anything( yet ). Also I know its imposible but im just thinking down the road a few years, if we were to keep done and signed someone in the Ryan howard, Pujols, former Bonds/Griffey mold to hit behind him , then this would force pitchers to throw more fast balls to Dunn and also more strikes which I think would raise his ba 40 points and cut way down on the strike outs.
If I were Krivsky this offseason I would go after a solid outfielder and a good group of relievers. Who knows where we'd be right now if we had a solid bullpen throughout the year.
Starters are too expensive and the list of offensive players isn't exactly great. The bullpen seems like the only place you can make the team better at a reasonable price.
Under contract: Bray Majik Coffey Cormier Belisle
that is 5 decent ( if not great ) relievers.
if we resign Weathers and possibly Schowenweis ( hopefully on the cheap ) then we would have a deep bullpen by committee. you hope that someone steps up as a decent closer and turn your attention to finding a #3 starter and another bat

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (352 votes).
In short: Apart from the rain and the hail stones it was a great race. I am going to definately beat my time next year!Date of review: May 17, 2006
In short: Enjoyable - despite the driving rain throughout! Good idea to arrive early because of the use of shuttle buses to the start.In full: I don't usually like courses with laps, but this one was fine. Made good use of the Stevenage cycle paths, even though this meant a few challenging inclines towards the end. Marshalls were very good and the track finish in the athletics stadium was a nice feature.Date of review: November 20, 2005
In short: Good Race, excellent marshalling, grueling conditions made it difficult to enjoy any scenery there was, but despite this the atmosphere was really terrificDate of review: November 15, 2005
In short: Great atmosphere despite the pissing down rain! Thanks to the fabulous marshalls who must have been frozen. Only downside was queuing to get out of the start 30 seconds after the clock started, but all in all a definite do-again. Date of review: November 8, 2005
In short: Nice run, well marshalled but the start was a bit disorganised.Date of review: November 8, 2005
In short: First half marathon for me and I made my target time despite wind and rain!Date of review: November 8, 2005
In short: Bloody awful weather!Date of review: November 8, 2005
In short: Improved course - enjoyed the lake and the fields. Enthusiastic and encouraging marshals. In full: Thank you organisers for being honest about the course profile. Unlike other similar courses, you warned us there would be gentle ups and downs and I was therefore prepared. Weather wasn't that bad - wet yes, but I prefer that to scorching heat. Good to see Mick and Phil running again - inspiration and should be featured in runnersworld magazine. Thanks to the marshals for being so cheerful despite the pants weather. I look forward to next year's race. Date of review: November 7, 2005
In short: Leaves and Cycle PathsIn full: Can't blame the organisers for the weather but it adds the charming(?) dullness of Stevenage I guess. I prefered this course to last year.Date of review: November 7, 2005
In short: Straight forward - enjoyed it.In full: Ran a PB of 1 hr 32 so Stevenage will be special for me - but only till I beat it again. Like many others, turned up at the wrong car park (signs led me straight to it). If there are 2 places with almost the same name, put directions in the literature for people who aren't from Stevenage.Weird start but no major problem. 5 mile marker was at about 5.25 miles ! My mile times went 7 mins, 8 mins, 6 mins.Only constructive criticism - generally pretty good.Date of review: November 7, 2005

Always have a headlamp
There have been MANY instances where I've found myself out in the wilderness where I completely over-estimated the amount of daylight I had left. This makes that scary will I get back to the trailhead feeling go away. I think I'll buy one of these for each of my packs to make sure I always have one with me - they even fit in a pocket (SO easy for trail runs etc.)
Ultimate Backup
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love this light because it's "lite". For minimal extra weight it's a light I keep tucked into my sleeping bag for backpacking trips. I love knowing I have this as a backup. For a tiny tiny wight penalty, I have the peace of mind in case anything happens to my main light.
Also nice for those alpine starts when you just need enough light to see the trail by. Probably will be adding one for my car and another to attach to my key ring (yes, it's that small).
Very Cool Light
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a cool little headlamp. Super lightweight, I love the zip cord, you can use it on your wrist or head. Only worry would be losing it since it is so low profile.
Best Emergency Lamp Ever
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Undeniably one of the most useful pieces of kit I own. Compact, light, practical to use, energy efficient and cheap for it's utility... hard to say a bad about it. One of the first things I pack to go anywhere, to do anything, when there is a remote chance I might get caught in the dark.
Own 3 Of These
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have 3 of these, one in my pack, one in the truck, one in my edc bag they are just awesome you will not regret buying this
Perfect light weight headlamp
I've spent months at a time backpacking, and have learned that making due with as little as possible greatly improves the experience. This is the lightest weight headlamp I've seen, and will be perfect for my primary light in my pack. Although it's not the brightest light on the market, I was impressed with the output - more than enough by my standards. It has settings that allow you to maximize the battery life if you only need minimal light. I haven't worn it for a long period of time yet, but the strap is quite comfortable and I don't anticipate it getting uncomfortable with time. I'm excited about this light and look forward to putting it to the test on a. Trail.
E-lite string headband
The best backup headlamp around
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This compact and lightweight headlamp is perfect for stashing in the glove compartment, first aid kit, tool box, or wherever you think you might need it.
Weighing in at 1.1 ounces, the Petzl E-lite offers 26 lumens which has a max beam distance of about 30 meters. The light is substantial enough to hike in the dark with, and has bailed some of my forgetful friends out when their headlamps didn't make it to their packs. Don't let that fool you, this shouldn't be your trail running headlamp, this is meant to serve as a emergency light. Where the light really shines however is in close proximity, the permanent home for my E-lite is in my first aid kit.
The E-lite runs on a 3v lithium ion battery and has a projected battery life of 55 hours running on high. Thats quite substantial when compared to other headlamps in this class. (check out the Black Diamond Ion and the Petzl Tikkina for the closest comparable options). The E-lite is waterproof up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, just in case you drop your back up headlamp in the lake as well.
The headlamp itself is two pieces connected by a ball and socket, allowing the light portion of the headlamp to rotate 360 degrees, which is a great feature for customizing where the light is pointing without needing to move your head (I use that feature when changing oil and breaks on the car). The E-lite uses a retractable string instead of a headband to save space and weight. At first glance, the string looks like it would be fragile and uncomfortable, but on the contrary has turned out to be both durable and unnoticeable when worn on the head.
Bottom line: The perfect headlamp in its particular niche, emergency application. Toss it in whatever drawer, kit, or compartment you see fit and at some point down the road, it will save the day.
PETZL Headlamps - A Tale of Quality
Really Cool!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Had the chance to play with this little guy tonight at Petzl, and thought it was the coolest thing! A must-have for anyone going outside, in case of an emergency. Was really impressed with how much light 26 lumens actually is - especially after using the higher-powered headlamps. Light is definitely sufficient to make your way back to the car, or set up camp in an unexpected situation. Will be putting one of these in my chalk bag for those long approaches.
Love it!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a great option for someone who thinks a headlamp is a waste of space but knows deep down that going out in the wilderness without one is a terrible plan. It takes up hardly any space and I love that it has red LED options. Bought it to replace my old go-to that broke and I'm happy I did. Seems to be durable so far.
CLASSIC series headlamps
Great Backup Light
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This sits in my pack at all times as a just-in-case headlamp. It's waterproof which is definitely a plus for heavy rain scenarios and it's ultra small so until you need it you wont even notice it's there. As far as utilizing this as your main headlamp I would say go with something slightly larger/brighter such as the black diamond spot or the the black diamond revolt. However, if you are going ultralight and you don't do to much hiking in the dark you could probably get away with just bringing this. Overall I would say it's a quality product and I would definitely recommend it to others.
Perfect balance of weight & brightness
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My previous lamp of choice for backpacking was the Petzl Zipka and still love it. However, I am gravitating more and more towards the ultra lightweight backpacking philosophy (without being crazy). This thing is CRAZY small, but puts out a decent amount of light. I've never understood people that need spotlights when camping, especially backpacking. This thing is more than adequate. If I expected to do a fair amount of actual hiking in the dark, I might consider a different lamp, but even this one would be serviceable. And although I don't bring backup batteries on week long trips, the CR2032 lithium batteries are very light/compact (I use the flashlight on my iPhone as my backup with solar recharge...so some would say even having a headlamp is redundant). Used for a week backpacking in the Absaroka-Beartooths. 30-90 minutes every night...no noticeable decrease in output. You really have to see this thing to appreciate how small/light it is. Most wouldn't use as a primary light and it's not meant for such, but for me it fits the bill perfectly.
Thanks for the pic Wiccy - this is helpful!
PETZL e-lite
Fantastic light
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Yes it says "emergency light but its so much more. I have used this as my primary light backpacking and it is truly amazing for its size. It gives you more than enough light to hike or just around camp at night. I always carry a second set of batteries but it must have lasted at least a good 10 hours so far on the first. Its so small a light that its hard to put your trust in it as your only light but so far it has not given me any reason to doubt it. Plus I have been backpacking with others so if this light fails its not the only light source. Yes, more light is always nice, you just have to decide where you want to carry the extra weight. One note, I see there is a new version with a kind of string looking head band. I have not used this and do not know how well it works. I have the version with the slightly wider headband.
Referring to the tech manual on Petzl's website, lumens are only mentioned for the highest setting. While the highest setting is 26 Lumens, this number quickly diminishes with use. From the e+Light tech manual, this is what a person can expect in terms of distance:
FRESH BATTERIES: High-- 29 meters; Low-- 15 meters
AFTER 30 MINUTES: High-- 13 meters; Low-- 12 meters
AFTER 10 HOURS: High-- 6 meters; Low-- 6 meters
AFTER 30 HOURS: High-- 4 meters; Low-- 4 meters
So, as you can clearly see, the "high" setting is practically useless after the first 30 minutes. At first, I thought I had a damaged headlamp because I couldn't visually see a difference between high and low after a couple of uses.
One can also see how spending an hour reading in your tent greatly diminishes the usefulness of this light.
The above chart already shows the diminishing use of battery life after a mere 30 minutes. The tech manual lists battery life as follows:
HIGH--55 hours
LOW--70 hours (BTW, all the marketing outside of the tech manual says "75 hours." Why is that?)
RED--30 hours
Add to this a hard-to-find, specialized battery (two Lithium CR2032), and you have a light that does not belong on any kind of extended trip.
That is why they market it as an "emergency headlamp"!!
Woah, this thing is tiny
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This thing is about as ultralight as a true headlamp can get. Very worth it if you're shaving ounces but still want to see in the dark.
Weightless and Bright
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I gave this to my brother-in-law for Christmas. He is a runner and runs a lot at night after work. He has said that it is so weightless you don't even know it's there but it stays in place while running. He usually wears it over a hat which helps keep it from moving around on his head. Its multiple light options help to see and be seen at night.
E+Lite Headlamp
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Pretty bright considering the size. Can be used in a dark hut/tent or early morning skintrack. Not my primary headlamp but its a good backup that lives in my pack with my multitool and some handwarmers.
Let their be light
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased this light as something that can always just live in my pack as I've arrived at many a trailhead only to realize I forgot my lamp. Never again.
Despite it being touted as an emergency light I use it for dawn patrols as it provides enough light to get up a skin track and to futz with my gear until the glowing orb in the sky appears again.

In short: massive thank you to the marshals!In full: Think the weather for this year's race was what you call character building! Lovely flat course on country roads. Start was nice and easy too being a smaller race (I turned up rather late at 09:10 but still made it to the start line for 09:30 after bag drop and loo trip plus short jog down to the start area!) My biggest thank you goes to all the marshals this year for standing out in the horrible conditions but still managing to smile and cheer the runners on, it really makes a massive differenceWill be back next year but hoping for better weather!Date of review: April 6, 2015
In short: Terrible weather, fantastic marshalsDate of review: March 30, 2015
In short: A Date of review: March 29, 2015
In short: Great route, pancake flat with couple teeny small inclines but vvv windy today In full: Great race, very flat. Lots of encouraging marshals and several water stations. Race start was confusing (parking, hq, start, finish) all in different locations with limited clear info given about this. Date of review: March 29, 2015
In short: Would have been very quick without the windIn full: Fast, flat course but the weather was challenging this year. Fancy trying it again in more benign conditions. Great marshalling. Very friendly. Date of review: March 29, 2015
In short: wind central but one to come back toIn full: HUGE thanks to marshals! Date of review: March 29, 2015
In short: Wonderful bunch of marshals and organisers!In full: What a windy (and at times, wet) day! The marshals remained cheerful and they were very good at keeping the runners informed and under control (keeping left, especially round blind corners). The race was as good as I remembered it was last time I'd run it in 2005! Hope it's not another 10 years til I do this one again. PB potential is hampered slightly by the wind, even when it's not as windy as it was today.Date of review: March 29, 2015
In short: Very enjoyableIn full: This was my first half marathon joggle, so due to the juggling I didn't really get a chance to look around much. I ran in charity costume, so combined with the juggling was much slower than I normally am. The wind took its toll too. Great organisation though, and I enjoyed receiving a mug rather than a medal (I found medals a bit useless and a waste of space). Definitely do it again.Date of review: April 13, 2014
In short: Flat but windyIn full: Had to miss this race last year with a chest infection so glad to make it to the start line in one piece. Directions to the car park were great and short walk to the start. Race itself was very nice but must have slowed down quite a bit near the end as not as quick a time as I'd expected but likely down to the strong wind. Only issue I had was finding the car park afterwards as it's quite a way from the start but partly my fault for not looking into this before the race.Date of review: April 10, 2014
In short: Its a belterIn full: Always enjoy this half. The organisation is flawless and i've never seen so many marshalls. It was very windy this year and I suffered from going off too fast (with the wind and downhill). My only moan is the official car park is just too far away from the finish. I'd give it a big thumbs up.Date of review: April 7, 2014

The desert can be surprisingly chilly at night, especially when your body is depleted from high exertion and lack of calories, so check your gear list for the required minimum temperature rating. My favorite is the supremely light Marmot Atom which weighs in at just 21 ounces, but feels like a luxury at the end of a hard day with its premium goose down.
Bonus Tip: You'll be sharing a tent with up to eight people, so privacy is hard to come by. A bag with a mummy style face muff is a must when you need to shut out the world and get some much-needed rest. Light sleeper? Stash a set of earplugs in your bag for added insurance.
When pack space is at a premium, it's tempting to forgo the sleeping mat—but, remember, you'll likely end up spending some nights on rock fields where a little inflated air will become a real back-saver. I opt for the Therm-a-Rest ProLite Sleeping Pad, which self-inflates quickly and offers sturdy support for my key skeletal range (shoulders to hips only). This mini-pad (in size XS) weighs eight ounces and doesn't hog pack space. For just a shaving more, you can have full-body comfort with the Klymit Inertia X Frame Camping Mattress, at 9.1 ounces, which feels almost as good as your real bed at home.
Bonus Tip: Still debating whether to bring a mat? Stage-racing veteran Howard Cohen trims a piece of foam padding to a small rectangle that he uses to line his pack during the day for extra back support and then sleeps on at night—double the function for just a few ounces.
