There's a reason this is one of our bestselling, longest-running packs: it's got everything you need, and nothing you don't. The M.U.L.E.® has a narrow-gauge design that keeps it light and maneuverable—so even when it's fully loaded for a day of mountain biking, it won't get in your way.
Since we launched the first M.U.L.E. in 1996, mountain bikers have been telling us that it hits the sweet spot of size vs. storage: it's lightweight, but big enough to carry three liters of water and a day's worth of snacks and gear. Over the years, we've also added air channels to keep your back cool, plus clever compartments for stashing tools, keys and electronics.
Antidote® Reservoir Features: Quick Link™ System, 1/4 turn - easy open/close cap, lightweight fillport, dryer arms, center baffling and low-profile design, patented Big Bite™ Valve, HydroGuard™ technology, PureFlow™ tube, easy-to-clean wide-mouth opening
Key Pack Features: Media pocket, bike tool organizer pocket, stash pocket, four point compression, stretch overflow helmet storage
Designed to Carry: Helmet, multi-tool, pump, spare tube, extra layer, lunch, MP3, phone, wallet, keys
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
We recommend wiping your pack with a damp cloth to remove dirt. If the pack is extremely dirty and needs a deeper cleaning, soak it in cool or warm water with a very mild soap. Rinse the pack thoroughly with cool water. If soap residue remains in the fabric, it may create suds if exposed to water or sweat.
DO NOT wash your pack in a washing machine. Machine washing may damage the pack or affect the integrity of the fabric and fasteners, and will void the Got Your Bak™ Guarantee.
The best way to care for your reservoir is to clean and dry it after every use, especially if you fill the reservoir with anything other than water. However, if a reservoir has not been cleaned after every use, and mold or discoloration develops:
1. Use hot water and a CamelBak Cleaning Tablet. Or use 2 tablespoons of baking soda or bleach instead of CamelBak Cleaning Tab. Mix the solution inside your reservoir and elevate the reservoir above the tube and Big Bite Valve. Pinch the bite valve, allowing the solution to flow into the drink tube and fill the bite valve.
2. Let the reservoir and cleaning solution sit in the reservoir and drink tube for about 30 minutes.
3. Wash the reservoir with hot water and mild soap. Be sure to completely rinse away the cleaning solution in the reservoir and drink tube before using again. You can also use CamelBak brushes from our Cleaning Kit to scrub your reservoir and drink tube. Brushes are the best way to ensure you are scrubbing all of the areas of the reservoir clean.
4. Once the reservoir is clean, be sure to air dry overnight so no moisture is trapped inside, which can cause mold to grow.
These steps will make your reservoir safe for use. If there are still spots left behind, these are permanent mold stains that may not be removable. However, your reservoir is still safe and usable after you've cleaned it.

Love my Mule
By Ben the biker
from Lynn Haven, Fl
About Me Avid Adventurer
Comments about CamelBak M.U.L.E.® - Discontinued:
I added a second 100oz reservoir making my own version of the "BEAST". I ride 40+ miles three days a week and the heat index goes over 105 most days, so 100oz wasn't enough. I was wearing 2 Lobos, but I got the Mule and put the reservoir from one of the Lobos in the large pocket and feed the hose to the other side. I made a holder to hold up the second bag, it's heavy but I would wear a weight vest otherwise.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hard to put full resivor back into your full pack, so you have to take everything out of your pack to put the resivor in.

Needs Some Tweeking
By Joe Dirt
from Texas
I first had the origianl M.U.L.E. I found it much easier to remove and refill the bladder. I don't care for the rear entry for the bladder.I carry tools and noticed them getting rusty. Turns out condesation forms because I put in lots of ice, the original M.U.L.E. was insulated on all sides. I use styrofoam sheets to try and insulate the bladder. CamelBak can do better on this front.I feel it is built nice enough. although I have a tear in the webbing fabric (don't know how that happened). the shoulder straps are much more comfrotable than the original M.U.L.E.I also wish the bottom straps were removeable.a compartment for a phone on the shoulder strap would be a nice touch.

Great backpack for biking and more
By JB the man
from Nashville, TN
About Me Casual/ Recreational
This backpack is awesome. I can fit all my stuff in there for mountain biking, including my helmet. There are plenty of pockets and places for storage. Including a safe place for your phone. Water stays cold all day. Definitely the pack to get if you want to store all your needs in one place.
Almost Perfect
By Tenmiletim
from Fremont, CA
I had an older Mule which broke and just got this year's model as a replacement. It's almost perfect except that it doesn't have any interior zip storage. My wife has last year's Luxe pack and there is an interior zip pocket. She also has the Helena backpack, and again there is a small interior zip pocket for small, loose items. Why not provide one in the Mule? In every other way, this is a perfect pack.
Great pack for biking or day hikes!
By Zesty "P"
from North Kingstown, RI
About Me Avid Cyclist
Great all around pack! This is my 4th Camelbak pack. I still own the Trail Blazer, nice pack for hiking, too bulky for biking. Also still own the Lobo, love this pack also, great for biking, but pockets and storage are limited. The MULE is exactly what I've been looking for! I can fit several extra layers of clothing, food for a full day, multi tool, flashlight, my GoPro camera with 3 or 4 of the mounts, extra tube and bike tool. The reservoir is large, easy to fill, and access.Overall highly recomended, best hydration I've ever owned.
By ktc814
from San Diego, CA
This pack is comfortable, cool looking, useful, and made by the best biking pack companies. If you bike every month, every week or everyday, this is the pack for you. It is made of a nice material that wont tear or snag, and the straps are solid and wont fray. It will also carry around an extra tube, a pump and anything else you might need on a ride. Most importantly though is that it will hydrate you all day long. Fill it up, put some ice in it, ride, dry, repeat.

Size does matter!
By Darryl62
from New Zealand
Got this as a Xmas present, upgrading from a smaller Camelbak model.Initially thought would be too big but the larger size has been great as it provides heaps more options to carry stuff.I've now got tools, pump and jacket all packed away tidily in one location, keeping my bike nice and light. Plus I still have plenty of space if I need for additional stuff like tubes, poly prop etc.

Photo of local Thanksgiving groceries courtesy of Anita, Married with Dinner.
by Jennifer Maiser, editor
Are you looking for inspiration for an Eat Local Thanksgiving around the country? Below, find some links to blogs which have covered Thanksgiving cooking in the past. I tend to agree with Anita from Married with Dinner who writes that cooking locally for Thanksgiving is one of the less challenging projects in the year of a locavore:
"Maybe it's because Thanksgiving is one of the few times each year when Americans eat with the seasons, whether they're aware of it or not. But to me, planning a locavore Thanksgiving celebration isn't just fun, it's also pretty simple."
What are you planning on making this Thanksgiving?
Southern Michigan. Dragonwood, Life in the Garden made local chicken live pate, a mash of potatoes, leeks and parsnips, quince-cranberry sauce, and pumpkin cheesecake.
Traverse City, Michigan. Notes from a Country Girl Living in the City made acorn squash, potatoes Dauphinoise (using homemade feta), cranberry sauce and corn on the cob (frozen in the summer). For drinks, they had a local sparkling pear cide, milk and cider they pressed themselves.
Tennessee. Crafty Kim made a mostly local Thanksgiving dinner that included a delicious sounding sweet potato gratin and bread stuffing with potatoes. I particularly love that, while they wanted to make green Jello salad (traditional for their family), they at made it semi-local by using local cream and local pecans.
San Francisco. Friends Anita and Cameron have a couple of posts on their blog which would be a great guide for anyone making an amazing eat local Thanksgiving in Northern California.
Connecticut. Sophie at Late Bloomers Farm in Connecticut wrote about an eat local meal that included pickled carrots, chicken soup, cornbread stuffing using local ingredients, and local cranberry sauce.
Takoma Park, Maryland. LifetimeReader at The Purloined Letter made ameal which included home-ground corn meal. Because she couldn't get local cranberries, she made a relish of cherry preserves (canned in the summer) with horseradish.
Oregon. Amy at the Our Home Works blog outlines an eat local meal that was made with a group of friends. Her mother's wild rice dressing looks particularly delectable.
Bainbridge Island, Washington. Lauren at Dropstone Farms made pumpkin seed snacks, stuffing with local ingredients including apricots, and a homegrown turkey.
Seattle. Eigth of an Acre Bounty has tips for a Thanksgiving dish made of squash, leeks, sage and goat cheese.
Washington. Laura's eat local Thanksgiving of crab, prime rib, stuffed mushrooms and twice-baked potatoes on Urban Hennery has me ready for Thanksgiving right this minute.

God did create the heavens and the earth. And there is only one document that credibly claims to be a divinely-revealed record of that creation: the book of Genesis. Unless we have a creator who left us with no information about where we came from or what our purpose is, the text of Genesis 1-2 stands for all practical purposes unchallenged as the only divinely-revealed description of creation. In other words, if there is a God who created the heavens and the earth, and if He revealed to humanity any record of that creation, Genesis is that record. If the God of Scripture did not create the heavens and the earth, then we have no real answers to anything that is truly important. Everything boils down to those two simple options.
So whether we believe the Genesis record or not makes all the difference in the world. Douglas Kelly, professor of systematic theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, has written on this subject with great insight. He says, "Essentially, mankind has only two choices. Either we have evolved out of the slime and can be explained only in a materialistic sense, meaning that we are made of nothing but the material, or we have been made on a heavenly pattern" (Creation and Change, 15-16).
He's right. Those are ultimately the only two options. We can either believe what Genesis says, or not. If Genesis 1:1 is true, then the universe and everything in it was created by a loving and personal God, and His purposes are clearly revealed to us in Scripture. Further, if the Genesis account is true, then we bear the stamp of God and are loved by Him—and because we are made in His image, human beings have a dignity, value, and obligation that transcends that of all other creatures. Moreover, if Genesis is true, then we not only have God's own answers to the questions of what we are here for and how we got where we are, but we also have the promise of salvation from our sin.
If Genesis is not true, however, we have no reliable answer to anything. Throw out Genesis and the authority of all Scripture is fatally compromised. That would ultimately mean that the God of the Bible simply doesn't exist. And if some other kind of creator-god does exist, he evidently doesn't care enough about his creation to provide any revelation about himself, his plan for creation, or his will for his creatures.
There are, of course, several extrabiblical accounts of creation from pagan sacred writings. But they are all mythical, fanciful, and frivolous accounts, featuring hideously ungodly gods. Those who imagine such deities exist would have to conclude that they have left us without any reason for hope, without any clear principles by which to live, without any accountability, without any answers to our most basic questions, and (most troubling of all) without any explanation or solution for the dilemma of evil.
Therefore if Genesis is untrue, we might as well assume that no God exists at all. That is precisely the assumption behind modern evolutionary theory. If true, it means that impersonal matter is the ultimate reality. Human personality and human intelligence are simply meaningless accidents produced at random by the natural processes of evolution. We have no moral accountability to any higher Being. All morality—indeed, all truth itself—is ultimately relative. In fact, truth, falsehood, goodness, and evil are all merely theoretical notions with no real meaning or significance. Nothing really matters in the vast immensity of an infinite, impersonal universe.
So if Genesis is false, nihilism is the next best option. Utter irrationality becomes the only "rational" choice. Obviously, the ramifications of our views on these things are immense. Our view of creation is the necessary starting point for our entire worldview.

"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." John 3:19
Believing in the literal inspiration of the Holy Scripture brings responsibility. The core of every rejection to the authoritative Word of God is avoiding the moral responsibility to the God of the Bible. People who choose to believe in evolution are totally aware of the weakness and irrationality of it, but they do so in an attempt to suppress the the" sense of eternality" that God has put in their beings; these are failed attempts to suppress their consciences and justify their evil deeds. The reason for rejection of Bible is moral not intellectual

This is true. "ALL" scripture is God-breathed. The building of the gospel is laid upon the truths of creation/fall/promise of redemption in CHrist(all in Gen 1-3). The people who want to live apart from God and accountability to Him have no foundation for anything. They are a cosmic accidnet with no purpose or future. Every man may and should do what is right in his own eyes. They will say "Yes but not to the harm of my fellow neighbor. We must live peaceably in our societies, and we dont need a God to know that" Ahh, but that is borrowed capital from the God-given conscience, they claim to deny. There is no such peace to neighbor in the evolutionary scheme. Survival and supremacy, those are they who adapt. These people (and we desire them to come to Christ and be saved) want it both ways. They want to reject His authority but enjoy His common graces. A very "Convenient nihilism"

Dear Pastor MacArthur and GTY staff,
No words can express my gratitude to our Lord for your ministry. It has been the main source of my spiritual nourishment since 2007, before that I was caught in charismatic movement and my spiritual growth was retarded for years. There is no Bible-based church where I live. GTY is part of my daily Bible study; it is a true blessing to me. God in His sovereignty led me to your ministry and set my free from the evil of false teachings. I do appreciate your efforts in contending earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints (Jude3).
"Our view of creation is the necessary starting point for our entire worldview."
This is such a true statement. Sadly, the fact that so many have rejected the straight forward reading of Genesis 1-3, has not only affected society in general,it has affected the church. So many that have accepted the "billions of years" age of the earth and evolutionary ideas for creation,have also accepted society's views of morality. Hence the acceptance of homosexuality,abortion,etc in many denominations. As soon as you can change the straight forward meaning of scripture pertaining to history,what is to stop you from changing the straight forward meaning of scripture pertaining to morality? I believe we are seeing a real "christianized nihilism" developing in the church. That is why sound hermeneutics and a high view of scripture is so important the Christian.

[Update: She's been acquitted.] Raise your hand if you've never heard of Tonya Craft. I hadn't either, until I stumbled across this post at change.org. Tonya Craft is the latest lightning rod in that modern day witch-hunt: the sex offender.
But, from all accounts, this isn't a normal case. This is a shining example of the lengths people will go to, in order to brand someone a villain. The word sham is inadequate to describe the sheer rape of the law that is currently underway in Northwest Georgia at Craft's trial.
There's little doubt that a guilty verdict will fail on appeal. Yet Arnt and his fellow prosecutor Len Gregor seem intent on achieving one anyway, no matter the cost. They've badgered witnesses with questions about Craft's exercise and lawn-mowing habits, of all things. They've asked whether Craft is a narcissist, and if Craft ever passed out in a girlfriend's bed after a night of drinking. These so-called "sordid revelations" that the kind that only a puritan (or an unhinged prosecutor) would connect to evidence of child molestation.
The case has gotten weirder and weirder. One defense witness, who let Craft watch her children every day for almost two years without incident, testified that one of Craft's accusers — who is also a child actress — was "worldly for her age." "Does that mean she's a slut?" asked Gregor. When the witness uncomfortably denied the charge, Gregor wondered whether the child might be a "pre-slut."
While change.org has two posts on the subject, much of the coverage is being done by this man (and this newspaper). The transgressions of the prosecutors in this case are numerous: from claiming that they didn't have to obey the law, to employing the worst "experts", to seeking to introduce dubious "prior bad acts". I could really go on, but that wouldn't do the story any justice. Instead, follow the yellow brick road from the ridiculous:
Craft's trial has also seen a parade of so-called forensics experts act as effective cheerleaders for the prosecution. One expert who made an appearance, Holly Nave Kittle of the Children's Advocacy Center, was openly hostile to questions about her lack of credentials and was unfamiliar with any relevant child abuse literature. Neither did she help her credibility as a witness after she "liked" a public Facebook post by Arnt, in which he wondered "if Tonya Craft's Defense [sic] lawyers are really insane of [sic] just trying to jack up her defense bill?" (Both Arnt and Kittle's conduct likely violate Georgia's ethical rules.)
Another prosecution "expert" involved, Suzie Thorne, lacks a college degree, and her testimony seems highly suspect. When Thorne interviewed one of the children involved during a videotaped session, she asked the girl a whopping 16 times whether "anything else happened." Each time, the child said no. However, Thorne testified that after she shut off the camera, the child left the room and then returned — suddenly remembering that yes, Craft had sexually abused her.
Fair enough. But then why didn't Thorne record this statement, or press the child for more information on camera?
to the "what the fuck are you talking about?":
"Do you know anything about a time that Ms. Craft came to the door of her home dressed only in a towel to meet a first-time date?" "No, I do not," said the witness.
Mr. Gregor asked, "Do you know any narcissists?" "No, I do not."
"Would a good person molest a child?" "No." "Would a good person insert a finger or thumb in a vagina or rectum?" "No."
As Noah Arenstein at Change puts it: the prosecutors were becoming increasingly unhinged. At least until the media showed up. But that's not the worst of it. The man who seems to have defiled the purity and sanctity of the law the most is the judge presiding over the trial: Judge Brian House. Starting with declining (without explanation) to recuse himself from the trial, despite having represented Craft's ex-husband in his divorce from her, to permitting completely irrelevant testimony about the defendant's alleged affairs with adults, to not permitting the defense to present any character evidence of the defendant, after permitting irrelevant character-assassination testimony from the prosecution.
We all are aware that allegations of child sexual abuse inflame the passions of most people. But when a woman is so horribly being railroaded in a trial, where the singular aim seems to be to obtain a conviction in the face of damning evidence suggesting the contrary, where all independent observes agree that even if a conviction is obtained, it is sure to be reversed on appeal, do we know that we've crossed the line from hysteria into madness.
Prosecutors so abusing their power and a judge sanctioning the farce is a damning indictment of the lengths we will go to to demonize those that may be innocent so long as a child is involved. Whether Tonya Craft is guilty or not is irrelevant. That the trial is being permitted to be conducted in such an egregious manner casts a dark pall over all of us that hold the criminal justice system here in such high regard.
While this is the first I've read about Tonya Craft, this won't be the last. I hope it's the same for you.
[You can follow coverage of the trial by reporters on Twitter and use the #TonyaCraft hashtag.]

Subject: Issue with embedded lists in a command
I am working on a command that I want to have a list as one of the parameters but I also want the parameter to contain a list as one of the elements.
I have a code value as the first parameter. For that code value there are four pieces of information; the code itself, a start date, an end date, and message information. The message information is itself a list made up of the message text, configuration text, and size text. So far so good.
Where the issue comes in is when I define the code and message as lists. There can be up to two codes and there could be up to three message lines for each code. When I specify the code with a max value of two (MAX(2)) and the message with a max value of three (MAX(3)) the command will not compile and I get the error shown here. Displaying second level text didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
CPD0258 30 More than three levels of nesting specified for keyword ENRCODE.
I have posted the code here http://code.midrange.com/bf8f32f019.html.
I am not seeing where the three levels are. It looks to me like just two; the ENRCODE PARM line, and the ELEM line with ENRMSG. Can someone help me out with what I'm missing?

America want a proper trade relationship with the European Union....GOD Help them....There is only one Federal Government worse then the American Union...and more likely to spread chaos and Socialism.
That is Angela Merkels Fourth Reich.
I couldnt believe it when I heard the US President talk about it...If I was him, I'd find Trade with the Russians and Chinese more palatable. What especially made me giggle was what Obama said when asked what he thought about the British preparing to leave the Union...and he said that he thinks in close relationships one should try everything to make it work before they walk away.
Thats easy for him to say...He cant get re-ellected now...so he CAN walk away after signing the US up to being part of the European Union.
If you thought the British were bad.... Does Washington ever put out edicts concerning the length and bendy-ness of Cucumbers? Brussels has no quarms about idiotic laws like "that Cucumber is far to bendy to legally sell" OH YES THEY DID!
The presence of a contract, doesnt make it Contractual...Especially not in the UFC, where you are not contracted to work as a direct employee anyway. Employment wise, you would be classed as Subcontractor, Tax wise, you would probably be classed as Self Employed.
Now...both for the sake of Tax, and for the sake of Nationality, the defining basis of legality for a company is where the sales and contracts are processed. Thats how Google, for example is HUGE in England...but settles its finances on the continent...meaning, it doesnt fall under British Tax Law Practically speaking, their business is done here...but technically speaking all deals are processed in a country offering better coorperation tax Now most permanent American Companies in this country HAVE to coorperate with British Law...Walmart in the UK is both Unionized and NOT an At Will Employer...but because the UFC appears and dissapears, effectively doesnt exist, but inhabits a host arena....you know, officially speaking, its not here...so it may treat its British personnel like its American.
2) There is a Huge Problem with that. Firstly, to be a successful Union it would have to have legitamacy and run in all States and Countries where MMA runs...or at least in the entireity of Continental America at the very least.
Secondly...its going to have to have cross-promotional presence....That means this Union would be available NOT JUST to the UFC...but also Bellator et al. Whilst that works in a competative environment between businesses...its probably not going to work with the turn over of Staff moving between the same competators. You know, the Union for the supermarkets is the same...but you dont get people from walmart jumping ship permanantly to the opposition, and then back.
Finally...it has to generally be acknowledged and backed by 80% of fighters...Tell me how the hell you would coordinate backing of, essentially, a trillion independants?? Not to mention that the sway of the coorperative would be from the majority of members...now suppose, for arguments sake, ALL of AKA were members of this Union...but only two members of Team Alpha Male were part. There is a danger that the Union would become partisan towards particular UFC Camps, and Particular managers...GOD help us all if Greg Jackson, for example, was ellected by Union Members to be President!!! We'd have boring fights til the cows come home legitamized for all eternity.
The only way to do that well, would be for a certain group of Non-Fighters, yet qualified personnel to be Union Reps...and for the Coorperative to exist on an individual level BUT for Voting purposes, only allow ONE VOTE PER TRAINING CAMP. Remind you a little bit of the US Presidential ellections? Each Training Camp would have to be able to conduct a vote, and its majority be carried by the Camp Representative to the Union.
Now ask yourself, what counts as a Camp? Any Gym with MMA Aspirations? what about Gyms who have Chains...should each outlet be classed as a separate camp...therefore giving advantage to those already well established camps with multiple outlets...What happens when Fighters change Camps? What happens when they go and train at other gyms?
Then...here is the final ding dong....soooooo Fighters are usually managed by Management groups independant of Individual Camps...For example, Suckerpunch Entertainment Manages Fighters in a range of different Camps. They find it hard enough with conflict of interests, when their fighters have to fight each other. Whilst this union can save fighters from Businesses, it cant do anything about the Managers of the fighters, nor fight camps...and sometimes they seem to be as bad as the promotions.
You have to also ask yourself...will fighters be willing to pay into such a scheme. Should it be voluntary, or should it be forced...from the Business perspective, if this was forced it would be then hard to claim wouldnt it, as any fighter would have access to a Union and no come back if they went up against the powerful and were to fall.
Finally...This Union would have its work cut out. In order to be effective, the Union would have to have enough Fighters contributing to try and force their recognition. If a Union was unable, for example, to distroy an entire UFC card, why should the UFC listen to it? Would the Fighters really dare to vote for a Strike...when they only get paid like three times a year anyway.
Its no use having the debutees...you would have to have people like Jon Jones, turn round and say to Dana White that if he doesnt listen to the Union, he can forget his Main event...and then the entire card would basically have to have the courage not just to say it...but to follow through. There would be a large proportion of fans on the Companies side, simply because if this happened, the UFC would be unable to provide, and ultimately that would mean mma deprivation for the fans...and whilst the fans would no doubt turn on the UFC...they might also turn on the fighters who made the stand....thats a REALLY dangerous game to play if your entire career is based on public opinion as a reaction to what you do.
You would have to get the media on your side to stand a chance

Stop Mobile Device-Borne Malware
As a technology's popularity grows, so does the target on its back. And so it goes for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Indeed, mobile devices are everywhere, and everyone from CEOs and secretaries to teenagers and grandmothers has a mobile device to surf the Web, check email, install mobile applications, play games and send text messages.
In the corporate environment, IT professionals are scrambling to manage bleeding-edge mobile devices while mitigating the threats against these devices. Some companies are dealing with the mobile malware threat using existing security tools while waiting for the mobile device management (MDM) market to develop products that better fit their needs. Others that have already sunk money into platforms such as BlackBerry or Windows Mobile are looking to supplement with an MDM supporting additional mobile operating systems.
In this report, we'll explore the different types of malware affecting mobile platforms, some protections companies can put in place using existing security controls, and the ability of MDM systems to protect enterprise networks from mobile malware. (S4310212)

The village of Fredonia is being approached by residents on Cassadaga Lake to purchase a piece of property currently owned by the village.
Joseph and Lisa Beaser have a property on Glasgow on the Lake with the property next to the Beasers' property being village owned.
The Beasers would like to purchase the property at market value so they can expand their home and make it into a more permanent residence. They came to the village board workshop to discuss the matter.
"We'd like to put an addition, a garage addition with a master bedroom and bathroom," Joseph said. "I'd like to make it a permanent home."
The property is in the town of Pomfret, which Mayor Stephen Keefe said would be a tax increase. The Beasers said they would give back a 6-foot easement for the village if they ever needed access to the property. Six feet may also be increased, according to the couple, if the village needed a larger easement. DPW Supervisor Jack Boland said he would go look at the property and give his input. The village board has talked about this matter in the past and will discuss it again at a later date.
During the regular board meeting the village approved the annual firemen's drive throughout the village during the weeks of May 27 and June 9.
Adrian Balch and Greg Lauer were appointed to the Fredonia-Pomfret Parks and Recreation Commission and Ronald Johnson was appointed as acting village justice until April 23, 2014. The village board also approved going out to bid for metered fuels, water meters and chemicals for the water and sewer department.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 5, 2012) – USA Volleyball has announced that it will hold the second of two 2012 International Development Qualifiers (IDQ) tournaments on June 16-17 at Dockweiler Beach in Playa del Rey, Calif.
IDQs identify elite beach athletes for entry into select NORCECA (North and Central American and Caribbean) Beach Volleyball Tour international competitions.
The men's and women's teams that win will qualify for the NORECA beach volleyball events in Trinidad & Tobago (Oct. 12-14) and Antigua (Oct. 19-21). The second-place teams qualify for Puerto Rico (Nov. 9-11).
"The NORCECA Beach Volleyball Tour is stepping up their commitment to the beach game, and it is imperative for USAV to do the same within NORCECA," said Ali Wood Lamberson, USA Volleyball director of beach programs.
"Our goal is to identify U.S. athletes with elite international potential and to use the NORCECA Beach Volleyball Tour as preparation for the FIVB World Tour."
IDQ events are open to all U.S. athletes who hold a U.S. passport or U.S. citizenship and have not represented another country in the last two years or are not currently registered as a member of another country's volleyball federation.
The entry fee is $60 per athlete and all participants must have a current USAV membership. The Molten NORCECA ball will be used. The main draw is limited to 40 total teams with a single elimination qualifier the Friday afternoon preceding, if necessary, deciding the last four Main Draw teams (teams in the qualifier will be notified Tuesday before the event). Main draw competition format will be full match pool play with a single-elimination playoff.
IDQ EVENT DETAILS: International Development Qualifiers (IDQ) Beach Tournament
When and Where: June 16-17 at Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey, Calif.
Cost: $60/athlete
Ball: Molten BV5000 (NORCECA ball)
Level: Open to all U.S. beach athletes ages 16 and older
Seeding: USAV National Ranking will be utilized
Format: Two day with full match play. Pool play with single elimination playoffs
Registration: Registration is online only. Both athletes must register separately.

Lodging, meals, and local travel during events will be paid by the NORCECA promoter. USAV will provide a $600 per event travel stipend to each athlete of the USA's #1 team, to be paid after the completion of the event. USAV may also provide a $600 travel stipend to the team's certified coach or licensed medical staff member.
In addition to the above, for each IDQ a prize money purse based on 40% of entry fees will be paid out to the top two teams. Additional prizes of USA Beach officially licensed apparel and other items will be awarded to the top four teams. All competitors will receive USAV ranking point based on their IDQ finish.
NORCECA EVENTS: Athletes must organize and purchase their own airfare. Advertised prize money for NORCECA tour events is $10,000/event. (See the NORCECA Beach web site for prize money breakdown and event regulations). Typically NORCECA events take place Thursday-Sunday, athletes are required to arrive Wednesday evening, attend the award ceremony on Sunday and depart Monday morning.

Gainward, a leading supplier of graphics cards that belongs to Palit Microsystems, is rumoured to cease selling graphics boards based on ATI Radeon graphics processing units (GPUs). The move has not been confirmed, but considering the fact that Gainward has not offered a truly broad range of ATI products, it may well be the case.
Gainward has always been an Nvidia-exclusive supplier of graphics cards and got particular publicity with its factory-overclocked Nvidia GeForce graphics boards. However, back in mid-2008 the company also released a lineup of ATI Radeon-powered graphics cards. While the line was rather rich, it has never been truly broad and according to TechConnect web-site Gainward is ready to pull the plug for this family of products.
The manufacturer still has not released its ATI Radeon 4770 and ATI Radeon HD 4890 graphics cards, something that has been accomplished by its rivals, which puts the future of Gainward's ATI line under question.
ATI has been consistently saying that it did not need to have a massive amount of add-in-cards partners in order not to make them competing too seriously against each other. Considering that Palit itself is currently working hard to popularize its own brand, under which it ships both ATI and Nvidia graphics cards, it may be logical for Gainward to concentrate on Nvidia-based solutions.
Neither Gainward, nor ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, commented on the news-story.

The debate in recent months around the COP15 has been dominated by promotion of 'clean' technologies and solutions available on the market. Companies that develop and sell the new 'clean' technologies have been given a lot of attention because of the large market potential. But less attention has been given to the financial potential of reducing emission within a company's operations by process improvements and behavioural change. Behavioural change plays an important role in reducing CO2 emission but in fact very little research has been done within this area.
The objective of this whitepaper is twofold: to shed light on the economic potential of environmental investments and to suggest concrete ways for companies to achieve a greater economic and environmental return on their investments through improved processes and behavioural change.

The Role of an At Large Director
With the new USA Badminton Board of Directors (BOD) structure (see By Laws, see Meeting the New BOD article) the role of At Large Directors is in need of examination. In the past, Regional Directors were tasked with representing to the Board the needs of their particular Region.
The two At large Directors have a responsibility to all general members of USA Badminton. There are many ways to do this and Geoff Stensland and Fred Coleman are willing to explore with all of you how best to make this work.
1) All regions except the Northwest currently have Regional Governance with specifically designated leadership.
2) Some states have specifically designated leadership (California even has two - SCBA, NCBA).
3) There are a rapidly growing number of Badminton Clubs, each with its own internal structure, but lacking any unifying body to give them a clear voice.
While being only two people (who are volunteers, with jobs to which we must attend and no formal budget), Fred and Geoff would like to form active relationships with the membership of USA Badminton
1) We would like to know that current information on Regional Associations, State Associations, and clubs including leadership and contact information is centrally available to us on the USAB website.
2) We both travel, Fred for Juniors' related issues and Geoff to play and reconnect to serve the Board. We would like whenever we visit an area for other duties to
- meet with local leadership for updates both ways
- hold open Question and Answer sessions with members.
3) We would like to receive minutes of your meetings, copies of your strategic plans and questions/issues for forward to the BOD.
4) We see ourselves as your (regions, state associations, clubs') delegates to the BOD, where we will try to faithfully represent your interests and concerns, although as all BOD members we will vote for the good of the whole - all of USAB.

Louis Plamondon Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour, QC
Mr. Speaker, this is a very special year for Georgette Toutant and Édouard Beaudoin. They are both celebrating their 100th birthdays and their 78th wedding anniversary as well.
This couple have lived an extraordinary life. They owned a dairy farm for 48 years, raised meat animals for 15 years and thus spent 63 years working in agriculture. They remained on their farm until they were 92 years old. They have 7 children, 14 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
A grand thanksgiving mass was held at the church in their home parish of Gentilly on July 24 to give thanks and celebrate this special birthday.
The 100-year-old husband and wife will celebrate their 78th wedding anniversary on October 25. The community of Gentilly is proud of this couple who are a unique part of the history of the community, Quebec and Canada.
Congratulations. May you enjoy many more years of happiness.

Robert Sopuck Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette, MB
Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate five high school students from Swan Valley Regional Secondary School in my constituency for their first place achievement in the 2011 Canon Envirothon competition.
Team members were Nyla Burnside, Matt Forbes, Teagan Markin, Breanna Anderson and Eddie Shao. Their advisers were: Rick Wowchuk, Shawn Stankewich and Alex Verbo.
They defeated 53 teams from across North America. They are the very first Canadian team to win this prestigious award for their exceptional knowledge of the environment.
Swan River is an agricultural, forestry and tourism dependent community. The residents of Swan River Valley, as exemplified by the extraordinary achievements of their Envirothon team, have an innate and practical understanding of sustainable development and the wise use of natural resources. This understanding is common throughout rural Canada.
By winning the Envirothon award, these students have demonstrated the relationship they have with their environment. These young people will surely be the conservation leaders of tomorrow.

Alexandre Boulerice Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebec's Multi-Ethnic Association for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities, whose head office is in Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. This is a good opportunity to commend the association's excellent work and the determination of its founder and director, Luciana Soave, herself an immigrant and mother of a child with a disability. Her organization helps all immigrants and people with disabilities by offering them services daily and fighting for their rights.
Furthermore, public, community-supported markets are being developed in Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, which is already well known for the Jean-Talon market. One such example is Festi Marché, which makes fresh fruits and vegetables affordable for people on low incomes. Organized by NA Rive, a literacy centre, this market was held last weekend in a school yard. A massive picnic was also held on Shamrock Street, organized by community organizations such as SODER and by the merchants of Little Italy. For the third consecutive year, a non-profit organization coordinated a market for small-scale producers at Technopôle Angus, in the eastern part of the riding. These are just a few of the local initiatives meant to ensure healthy eating habits and food security for our constituents.

Kevin Sorenson Crowfoot, AB
Mr. Speaker, Canadians gave our Conservative government a strong mandate to keep our streets and communities safe. That means locking up dangerous and repeat offenders, not releasing them early just to save a buck.
Our government is continuing with the planned expansion of our prisons within existing budgets. We will be creating 2,700 new spaces over the next several years.
Canadians have had enough of a justice system that releases convicted dangerous criminals before they are ready.
Our Conservative government has already taken strong action, including ending early parole for drug dealers and fraudsters and ending the so-called faint hope clause that allows murderers out early. There is still more to do. That is why we will move forward quickly with legislation that was shamefully opposed by the NDP and the Liberals in the last Parliament.
On this side of the House we take our responsibility to build stronger, safer communities across Canada very seriously. I call on the NDP and the Liberals to do the same.
Citizenship and Immigration

Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, the past 10 months have been a time of historic change for millions living in places like Yemen, Egypt and Libya.
Starting in Tunisia and sweeping across the Arab world, the winds of change have toppled governments and altered social structures in ways that most of us could never have foreseen. However, inasmuch as some things have changed, much has not. In places like Syria, human rights are regularly violated by the state, particularly for those practising Christianity.
Canada is known for its religious tolerance and human rights protections, and because of this, many persecuted souls have already completed their paperwork to make a new life for themselves here in Canada. In many cases, security and health checks have already occurred, and all that remains is approval from the minister and the department.
The Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism has it within his power to address this problem and to prevent further abuses from befalling these desperate people, so I ask why he has not done so.

James Lunney Nanaimo—Alberni, BC
Mr. Speaker, this past summer I visited the death camps at Majdanek and Auschwitz. I saw young people weeping before mounds of human ashes, shoes of victims, mass graves and monstrous crematoria.
Sadly, the threat to the Jewish people is still with us today. It is clear in the determination of those sworn to destroy the collective Jew, the Jewish state.
The world needs a strong Israel. Israel needs secure borders and neighbours who recognize the state and choose peace.
There are those who advocate dividing Jerusalem, separating the Old City, historic Jerusalem, from the Jewish state, leaving a state without a soul.
The recent Basel Declaration highlights the San Remo commitment of 1920 and the Mandate for Palestine approved by the League of Nations in 1922, solemn commitments that gave the legal foundation for the modern state of Israel, including Jerusalem.
In the pursuit of justice and peace in the Middle East, I urge all nations to handle Jerusalem carefully. The stakes are high; the cost of failure will impact every nation.

François Lapointe Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, for 10 years a yearly gala for the Prix du roman policier has been held in the municipality of Saint-Pacôme, in Kamouraska. Well-known mystery novelists have passed through Saint-Pacôme, including Patrick Sénécal and Chrystine Brouillet. The 2011 awards were presented on Saturday, September 24.
I would like to quote this year's recipient, Martin Michaud, who won for his novel La chorale du diable. He said, "The Prix Saint-Pacôme du roman policier plays a huge role in promoting...Quebec culture...a vital part of the Canadian identity."
I would like to pay tribute to the volunteers and bibliophiles who have succeeded in making this a worthy national event while still maintaining its local roots. I would also like to pay tribute to the elected municipal officials who promote this gala.
In conclusion, I congratulate the winners in the category for junior short story: Flavie Gauthier-Chamard from l'Islet, Catherine Girard from Saint-Prime, and Ève Gaumond from Cacouna.
The people of Saint-Pacôme can be very proud of this event.
Canadian Values

Chungsen Leung Willowdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour and privilege for me to stand in this place today to thank the people of Willowdale for the trust they have placed in me to represent them in the House.
I would also like to thank my wife, Deborah, and my daughter, Elysia, for their support and understanding.
I am honoured to represent a riding such as Willowdale, which is rich in culture and diversity. I believe the diversity provides us our strength as Canadians.
When I became a Canadian citizen over 35 years ago, I was moved by the words of the Right Hon. John Diefenbaker in his definition of a "Canadian". He said:
I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.
These words from our former prime minister describe the Canadian values that we all hold and that we all, in this place, must defend.

Mike Lake Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont, AB
Mr. Speaker, today my thoughts are with two friends back in Edmonton, who are inspiring literally thousands of people as they each battle aggressive forms of cancer.
Calvin Kuhn and Kristen Fersovitch are 44 and 28 respectively, both married, with young children. In Kristen's case, her three kids are all under four years of age.
In the face of unexpected and considerable adversity, both Calvin and Kristen are models of faith and courage. Invariably, those who visit them with a mind to cheer them up come away themselves immeasurably more encouraged. It is impossible to spend time with either of them and not leave with a renewed awareness of the purpose and the people in your own life.
Calvin and Kristen are daily living out the words of the apostle Paul, who counselled the Thessalonians to:
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
May they know that we are inspired by their joy, united with them in prayer and ever thankful for the remarkable model of faith in the most heart-wrenching of circumstances.
The Economy

Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, when the Conservatives cancelled the long form census, we knew that they were abandoning evidence-based decision-making in favour of implementing their narrowly partisan agenda.
The proof was in the pudding last week, when they introduced the omnibus crime bill.
Despite a well-documented 20-year decline in the crime rate and an acknowledgement by even U.S. Republicans that increased incarceration has done nothing to reduce recidivism, the Conservatives are ploughing ahead with mandatory minimum sentences and megajails, all evidence be damned.
Regrettably, the government is adopting the same ostrich-like approach to dealing with the current economic turmoil. The Prime Minister cannot just stick his head in the sand and ignore the fact that 1.4 million Canadians are out of work, that the unemployment rate for students was a staggering 17% this summer, that Moody's is reporting record levels of household debt and that every senior economist is warning of another deep recession.
Canadians need, and deserve, their government's support. Glibly suggesting that we are in a relatively stronger position than countries like Greece is an insult to the hard-working Canadians and seniors who are worried about making ends meet.
The time is now for the government to finally acknowledge the legitimate concerns of Canadians, act on the evidence and present a credible plan to safeguard Canadian jobs and our economy.

Wai Young Vancouver South, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today regarding an issue of great importance to the Chinese community in Vancouver south and across Canada.
Earlier this year the CBC reported that many leaders in Canada's cultural communities had called upon the Liberal Party to fire its current outreach leader after he made objectionable and discriminatory statements.
Chinese media have recently reported that after the story appeared on the CBC, the Liberal multiculturalism critic called the leader in the Chinese community in Toronto and said, "I'm glad you've learned to write English."
It is deeply offensive to imply that Canadian citizens of Chinese origin cannot speak or write English. The Liberal Party should be ashamed of itself. When will it learn to respect Chinese Canadians and the important contributions we have made to this great country and not insult hundreds of thousands of us by mocking our English?

Mr. Speaker, since this is my first speech here in the House, I would like to sincerely thank the people of Compton—Stanstead for their courage in voting for change.
Having been elected, I vowed to work for everyone in my riding, regardless of their allegiance and their beliefs. Over the next four years, I will try to help this government, which was elected by only 39% of Canadians, to see its social and economic policies more clearly in order to guarantee a more prosperous and fair future for all Canadians.
I would also like to congratulate the organizers of the Virée gourmande, or gourmet tour, that was held on September 24 and 25 as part of the Comptonales festival. The goal of this agro-food event was to highlight the quality and contributions of the region's farmers, whose products are the pride of the region. Whether at the Ferland orchard, BioBon, the Tremblay winery, Domaine Ives Hill or the Fromagerie La Station, just to name a few, the determination—

Mr. Speaker, there is some good news coming from Africa. Canada congratulates President Michael Sata on his election as Zambia's new leader. We also applaud all candidates and the Zambian people on their role in bringing about a peaceful political transition through the ballot box.
We would also like to congratulate the outgoing president, President Banda, who has accepted the will of the Zambian people and has peacefully transitioned power to the newly elected president. This is another example of Africa's drive towards building stronger democratic institutions and principles on the continent.
Zambia remains a key partner for Canada. Canada contributed to the Zambian electoral process through the United Nations and the Commonwealth. Two Canadian officials took part in the European Union's election observation mission.
Our best wishes to the Zambian people.

nice post! I have been having trouble with my dough being chewier than I would like on occasiosn. His last piece of advice and I would love to know more about.. is the shaping of the dough balls at the end. He says dont push too much or it will make it chewy. I can figure out what has been giving me a chewier crust than I would like and my hadling might be part of the problem. Does anyone else have this problem? I also find my pizza gets far too chewy after its been refigerated for a while and am wondering how to avoid that too.thanks,al

Address: 2407 Ansonville Road Marshville, NC 28103
Phone: 704-624-4115
Field types: hard-obstacle speedball, woodsball, enclosed arenas (6 fields I've seen total, but they mostly stick to just 3 of them)
Entry cost: $32 flat fee (includes rental equipment, all day air, 500 paintballs - bringing your own equipment does NOT reduce this entry fee)
Entry deals: $20 for 4 players with rental equipment and all day air through LivingSocial (requires additional purchase of 500 paintballs for each - case doesn't count - so roughly $16 per person), $20 groupon for 1 day's play with equipment, 2 air refills, upgraded barrel, and paintballs
Rental Equipment: Tippman 98c markers, Vforce Armor masks, Tacamo arc or other gravity fed loader, and 48/3000 HPA tanks are standard for rent. They do carry lighter markers and tanks for smaller, younger players. You can also rent a MacDev Cyborg 7 with Dye Rotor and 68/4500 air tank for $25 extra. You can rent 2-tube podpacks or individual pieces of equipment (tank, rotor) as well.
Paint: Diablo Heat, field paint only, $50 per case or $15 per 500 paintballs
Special Rules: Semi-auto only, there does not appear to be a cap to firing rate but most everyone is using 98s. Must get players to surrender when within 20 feet. You can slap an obstacle protecting a player while calling "bunker" to force an automatic out.
I've been out to Paintball Kingdom to play a number of times, and nearly all of my favorite paintball experiences have been at this location. Because of their pricing structure, this field tends to attract more rental players than players with their own equipment. You don't tend to see more than a half dozen visitors with their own equipment, and many of those players will bring Spyders or Tippmans that match the rental gear provided. The largest day I've ever seen at this field was about 40 players, while the smallest day I've ever seen at the field was about 20 players. Many people only stay for 2-3 hours, so games tend to average 5-10 players per side.
The pro shop shares its store space with Kingdom Arms - the firearm side of the business. In its heyday, the paintball shop carried the FEP line markers along with MacDev. It seems to be trending more to just distributing Tippman equipment, but you can still see tons of tackleboxes lining the walls marked with Quest or Cyborg parts. I've never looked too closely at store gear, but I know they sell CP products, Ninja Tanks, and they also sell a number of classic used markers off their back wall, including Ions, Spyders, and Angels. The owner, Jim Shuler (goes by Smoke at other forums), used to be a mover and shaker in the world of Bob Long markers, so he may be a local resource to talk to if you have questions or problems about your intimidator.
As far as the fields themselves go, there are no airball fields to play on at PBK. They do have one hyperball field called the Town - it has some broken down cars, wood structures including a center castle, a speedboat, and a wooden-fabricated tank to provide hard obstacles while you run through the field. I find the spacing and obstacle sizes to be the absolute best of anywhere I've played in Charlotte. Games on the town field are fast paced, relatively close combat, and just about guaranteed to find yourself behind enemy lines as both sides get entangled. The Town is the closest field to the staging area, but it's still a good 500ft+ hike from staging to play on the field. The Town has netting that can be extended from mast poles, but most of the time that netting is retracted. Quadrants of the field can be closed off for smaller groups to play on a reduced field size as necessary.
The next closest field is the assault course. One side has the high ground and a nearby two story fort for protection. The other side has to cross a creek to run uphill between obstacles. Alternately, the low-end side also has a small building in the corner called the "sherrif's office". This field has the advantage of nice tree cover to make it a cooler place to play on hot days. However, the odds are almost always stacked against the low-side force, and the cover distribution is much better on the right side of the field (from low-side's perspective) than the left. Still, I find myself shooting much more on this field than the Town field, and often have to remind myself to bring extra pods for play.
The third field down the road is the large Woods field. To be honest, there's so much of this field that I've never even seen. It has lots of cover obstacles near the road you travel down to access it, and there's even more buildings, shelters, ammo crates, and logs as far as the eye can see. The key to this field is to remember to look around periodically to avoid having someone sneak around beside or behind you. Since it shares the same woods as the Assault field, again the playing field feels cool and has many trees to hide behind. What's interesting is the slight rolling of the terrain hills, which can have you travelling uphill or downhill depending on where you're headed. Since it's so big and so hard to find people, this field is really recommended once you have more than 12 players per side. A note to watch out for is that the creeks and wet areas do seem to attract a lot of mosquitoes, so bringing some insect repellant is a must for play at this location.
The back part of the Woods field and Assault field is an area I've heard referred to as "rocket vs. radar dish". It's not listed on the website and I'm guessing it's part of scenario play. I've only played this section once, but it has a lot of trees and small cover points, especially closer to the rocket point and the radar station. One item of note on this one is that there is a cleared walking path along the back fenceline. I was able to walk down this path to circle around behind the other team, leading to a complete rout. I suspect that's why they've never taken me back to the field again. The side path has a lot of good, large trees for cover if you get spotted when only halfway across enemy lines.
The last two fields are two parallel enclosed chicken coops. These seem to be very popular for younger kids because of the tight quarters. I've never gotten the chance to play in either indoor field because they typically only open the fields at the end of the day. This is because they lower the rental marker velocities down to the 240-250 range rather than 280 for the field standard. The refs do not use the 20 foot surrender rule because of the close quarters. I would say that if you're interested in playing on the indoor fields to try to arrive at PBK around 2-3pm - the tradeoff is to call and confirm they'll have rental equipment for you.
As for the refs, there seem to be 3 main refs that I'm embarassed to say I've never learned of their names. One is blond haired with a grey/black profiler mask, one is a female ref with the initials MIK on the back of her jersey, and the last guy is taller with dark hair and a dye mask. I find the reffing to be fair and consistent, and the refs know to move around to watch the field of play without necessarily tipping off the location of players on the field. They are very strict on marker and mask safety, as you'd hope they would be. For newer players, I have seen the refs give a field tour without markers so that everyone can get a look at a field without needing to have their masks on. I always wish for more refs at any field, but this main trio does a good job of covering the field. A number of people also run the store, including the owner and his family. This makes signing in, picking up paint and equipment, and refueling your air tank an efficient process. All of the store employees are very friendly and glad to talk about their classic markers, firearms, or just to socialize.
*Bottom Line*:
Like most paintball fields in Charlotte, Paintball Kingdom seems like it is a field in decline. They no longer carry new equipment for major brands of the past like FEP and MacDev (looks like only new equipment is Tippman brand). To my knowledge they have not had a scenario at the field since Biological Aftermath in 2011 (which is a shame, because the field seems exquisitely built for Scenario games). Most of their classic used markers and their high-end rentals (those Cyborg 7s) are getting long in the tooth. Even still, more than any other field I've played at, PBK reminds me of my favorite large woodsball fields of my early days in paintball. For such a good team of shopkeepers and refs, I hope the improving economy will help them return to a golden age of play. In the meantime, you should also check out their online store if you have any need of old FEP Quest, Bob Long Intimidator, or MacDev parts. Even if it's a little pricey for local players that have their own equipment, you should make sure to put this in your top 2 of fields to check out the next time you're going to play paintball in and around Charlotte.

Good sweetener
Posted by DawnMellowship on May 16, 2012
Does the job, I only need half a packet per drink and it's fairly natural. I wish there were more stevia products just containing stevia though rather than other fillers such as inulin and maltodextrin, still it's preferable for me to have this product with the inulin rather than the maltodextrin and I will continue to purchase :)
Good but
Posted by Reviewer1228961 on Jan 30, 2012
I'm not so sure about the Inulin fiber in it. I will go with 100% stevia.
