Anonymity or Illusion?
Original post made by Anonymity or illusion?, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Jul 13, 2008
Yesterday I had a conversation with someone who had an interesting perspective on one of the current topics. I suggested that he share it in a post. He said he would not because the weekly can see where the posts are coming from. Are these posts anonymous or not?
While some are angry about the ability of the community to share thoughts and information anonymously it has taken power away from the few that used to control information through fear of reprisal. The things that in past were said in whispers, in small in-the-know groups, can now be shared. It is unfortunate that these posts are limited to the smaller readership of the blog forum. Why did the Weekly stop the column that gave a summary of the blog in the hard copy PW?

I think we need someone from the Pleasanton Weekly to answer that question.

Sounds like your friend is being paranoid. It is true that your IP address is probably being logged and that leaves a trail that can be followed, but typically companies won't give up that kind of information unless they receive a subpoena from a court (and even then they may fight such an order). Now the only reason a company would get a subpoena for that identifying information would be because you've done something illegal. Even with the logs from PW, anyone trying to find out your friend's identity would have to next get the logs from the ISP. And even then it is possible your friend was accessing this website from a computer at a library or other place where multiple people use the same computer. Finding out someone's identity from the IP address in a webserver log is not an easy task!
Perhaps it is PW that your friend doesn't want to find out who he is. I suggest then he could access this website using an anonymizer service that hides his IP address from the webserver (by replacing it with one the service provides). Those services tend to not keep logs. Let's just say that if someone wants to truly be anonymous on the Internet, there are ways to do it, but unless you know the tricks, it is probably just an illusion.
As for the ability to post something anonymously, sure it is great, but what happens when someone starts printing lies about someone? Even worse here, what happens when someone pretends they are another poster and then prints lies and readers can't tell the difference?

And in case it isn't clear (because I think the PW has done a poor job of understanding and correcting the issue due to a lack of technical knowledge on the subject), requiring registration in order to post does NOT take away anonymity.

It does take courage to post. If you're even slightly uncomfortable knowing that maybe the shadow is watching, then ask somebody else to post for you.
Next week, I'll complete my short novel: THE APPLE SLICES SOUR. It's about the posters on this blog but they have different names. There are three short chapters; Bullets Fly Up, Hardy Looks To The Left and Eat The Sour Slice.
It's a mystery about a conspiracy in Plutonia where the gutter snipes get off on stealing the valuables of innocent residents. Who but Cholo comes along and solves the crimes. I plan to submit my writings to the Editor and hopefully, they will be published in the your newspaper in serial form for your entertainment! Am I afraid to post it, NOT!

I agree with Frank that posters leave fingerprints. All one has to do is deconstruct and recontextualize the lunacy and voila...it's juicy pork with plum sauce!

After careful analysis of headers, sources, and writing styles together with word selection and phrasing... I've concluded that CHOLO is really Jeb Bing! We're on to you, Jeb.. I just pulled back the curtain!
It figures.. Jeb can't 'post' under his own name, but certainly has an imperative to keep the dialog going.
Damn.. I shudda figured that out long ago. It all makes sense now!

Actually, Jeb Bing is itself a phoney name. The picture of Jeb you see from time to time in the paper is PW's version of his avatar. The real person behind the avatar and phoney moniker wants anonymity for the same reason all of you other phoney-named people do.

Hi Stacey...nice to hear from you! My book will have a slightly different focus. The last chapter will be written completely in Spanish with no translation into English! It will be a how to stay out of trouble guide, filled with down home advice by illegals for illegals on how to keep their noses clean and avoid the Miss Pitty Pat's of Plutonia.
Last evening I was meditating, for 17 hrs. and suddenly everything became very bright, a small being popped into my head by the name of Tudlik BOINK! TURNS OUT IT WAS NONE OTHER THAN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN...I think?
Oh, another think: I have a short interview on tape that I will translate. Many many years ago, my father interviewed Jacobo Timerman. Jacobo offered advice to people re: how to manage their suspicions! A few people in Plutonia might find it helpful! HOORAY!

Illusion, I believe Stacey early on answered the question. But you needed to interpret it. So, to make it simple, they don't know who you are without a lot of detective work. Basically, they would need to have their ISP agree to provide them with the server logs, which the ISP would normally not do without a court order.

Why won't the PW respond to my question, it makes me uncomfortable?
The other day I was looking at an insurance website. Twenty minute after leaving the website I got a call from the agent. I had entered a section that promised to give me a free quote but when I saw the personal information it required I did not sent any info and left the site.
When the agent called I ask how they were able to call me as I did not give any information.
She avoided answering me also.

I don't buy your story. You had to have given them some information in order for them to have called you. Stop fear-mongering and spreading rumor.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Jul 20, 2008 at 6:27 pm
You are out of line to call me a liar. I will take the high road and resist the temptation to insult you back.
What reason would I have to lie? I have been very confused about how that happened but it did. That is why when someone shared their concerns about the blogs I thought it was reasonable to ask. A simple response from the PW would resolve any question about this site.
Why would the PW not respond?
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Jul 20, 2008 at 7:17 pm
I didn't call you a liar. I said I didn't buy your story. If you really wanted to find out the answer to your question you'd call or write directly to PW instead of creating rumor here.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Jul 20, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Of course saying you don't believe me is calling me a liar. And saying I am spreading rumor is insulting and absurd, what would be the point?
The Issue is an anonymity. I as many others do not want to identify myself as posting. Calling or writing would lose the benefit of anonymity.
Your response may be correct but I would like a response from the PW.
It is interesting that you are annoyed that you are not recognized as the unquestioned authority of all things.
Perhaps just this once you will not demand the last word.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Jul 20, 2008 at 8:38 pm
If I wanted to call you a liar I'd have used that word. I'm entitled to not believe your story but that hardly makes me say that you're a liar. It says "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU"! Even if you spoke the truth I am still entitled to not believe you. That doesn't make you a liar! Don't put words into my mouth.

You have an odd sense of ownership to this bog.
I don't mind hearing your opinion on every topic but you seem to think you are entitled to impose yourself on everyone else. I truely want an answer from the PW. I apreiciated yours and Franks knowledge on the subject but I will not be comfortable until I hear it from the PW.
For you to insult me because I don't accept you as the authority on all things that you think you are is childish.
To lies is to tell falsehood with intent to deceive, which is what you accused me of when you said you "don't by what I said" and "Stop fear-mongering ". If you had simply allowed for my making a mistake I would not have been offended since I am confused by how someone could get my information from simply entering their site.
While I appriciate yours and the other regular posters this is not the Stacey, Frank and Cholo show .
I respect Franks contributions even thought I don't often agree with his bashing of some of our respected citizens. Cholo gives me chuckles even though he is a troll (yes Cholo I know I am the devil). Stacy you may have lived in Ptown almost as long as I have but you are still clueless on the contributions of our citizens prior to the last two years.
I don't wish to belabor this discussion with you further. I do feel most of your posts contribute but at other times I think you are bullying other posters so others become reluctant to post.

Insulting you because you don't accept me as an authority on this subject? Hardly. That is your own interpretation. I'm challenging you here because you're making unsubstantiated claims (ie. rumor) regarding the insurance website. That contributes nothing other than to mislead anyone reading this thread and spreads fear among folks uneducated on the subject that somehow their web-surfing activities are being watched a la Big Brother. Why don't you name the insurance company or provide more detail about where on their website you clicked so that anyone can verify your claims? Let's see if an insurance agent calls them without giving away any information.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Jul 21, 2008 at 1:13 pm
I just wanted to add that if there really were a business engaging in such a thing as calling people after a website visit where the person didn't submit any information, THAT'D BE NEWS! Plus, all sorts of privacy advocate agencies would be ALL OVER THEM!

In my eyes it's the number one need. No not a quick agile Canty/ Austin guy that is a speed and power combination. I want a Keith Hamilton/ Gilbert Brown, Pat Kennedy run stuffer. A guy that can bow up running plays, take on double teams, and is immovable at the point of attack. I want Austin to be that guy but I'm skeptical, especially after the ACL.
After that we need a MLB. I have DT over LB because they take on the blockers so the LBs can go make plays.
Somebody says we are going to pick around 20th. How's that possible? It seems kind of early.

Central Oregonians rally to fight Alzheimer's
More than 100 take part in annual event
BEND, Ore. - Flowers and the color purple flooded Bend's Riverbend Park Sunday morning as more than 100 Central Oregonians came together to fight Alzheimer's disease in the Alzheimer's Association's 'Walk to End Alzheimer's."
The flowers represented the ways in which people are affected by the disease: one color for those who had the disease, another for those who lost someone to Alzheimer's and so on.
Bend resident Barb McCown has a different name written on each petal of her purple flower.
"My mom passed away from it," McCown said. "Quite a few of her family members have been affected by it, and it's just a cause that's dear to my heart."
McCown said she hopes the awareness and money raised from the event will eventually help fund a cure or slow down the disease.
She said her mother was in her 60s when she died of Alzheimer's.
"The person leaves way too early. It's kind of like they die twice, because they just aren't the same person anymore," McCown said.
Redmond resident Richard Glassgow carried a blue flower. He's been battling the disease himself since 2002.
He said he'd never been to a support walk for Alzheimer's, but was overwhelmed by the support.
Glassgow said the disease isn't just frustrating for him, but difficult for his wife.
"They ask you to do something, and you forget to do it," Glassgow said. "Or they tell you something, and you forget about it. I ask her (his wife) about six times a day about things she's already told me about."
Walk organizers said they expected to raise about $30,000 from the event, and 60 percent of those funds will stay to fight the disease in Central Oregon.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Colder weather – quilt v bag for side sleeper?
Apr 13, 2013 at 3:09 pm #1301682
I'm looking to buy a warmer bag (20f/-7c) for a trip to iceland later in the year. I think this temp rating should also suffice for any winter activity here in Australia, even in the Victorian alps, which are my closest mountains. I've not camped in the snow before, but it's something I'd like to get into.
As such, I plan to spend the right money once, and am looking at WM, Nunatak and Katabatic. Obviously one of these makes bags, and the other two make quilts (with some exceptions at N). Enlightened Equipment is also a maybe, but I think I want a sewn in foot at these temps.
In summer I use a JRB quilt, which does the job. However, as a broad shouldered 6'3" side sleeper (knees up foetal a lot of the time) I frequently roll over and expose large parts of my back to the open air. No biggy when it's still >40f/5c, but I expect less awesome when it's down to freezing. Below are my rationale with the 3 brands I'm considering:
Katabatic (Alsek) – cool attachment system should stop sides coming up, but narrowness of bag sounds like it may cause problems for my knees up sleeping position.
Nunatak (Arc Alpinist) – Attachment system similar to JRB (which I don't use because I don't like it), but *seems* to have the upper body girth for this not to matter. I think I could keep one of their larger bags wrapped around me, and keep some cord handy if it's really cold.
WM (Aplinlite) – basically a 100-200g penalty to be fully cocooned and have no concerns about drafts because bag can move with me. Still opens right up for warmer nights, although hood is attached so it's less versatile in that way.
Anyone in a similar boat make a similar decision?Apr 13, 2013 at 3:45 pm #1976306
I'm 6-4, broad-shouldered, tossing-and-turning side sleeper, and have faced the same choices as you. I ruled out the Alpinlite as too constraining, besides I'm mildly claustrophobic and don't like hoods. I have a couple of Nunatak quilts that I can recommend – the Arc Alpinist and Back Country Blanket, both with some extra down that I ordered. (I sleep very cold.) I do think Nunatak's quilts need more room at the shoulders, but Tom will oblige you there, probably at no extra charge. I can also recommend Valandre as a very high end manufacturer, though the only one that I've owned (Mirage) is probably not enough insulation. Haven't tried Katabatic but have heard great things about them. Good luck.

When I was looking for a bag/quilt, I considered the exact same options. I also looked at the Feathered Friends Verio (http://featheredfriends.com/vireo-25-45-sleeping-bag-1900.html). I live near Seattle so I drove over there and rented one for a weekend, then realized it was perfect for me. You can toss and turn, sleep on your side, etc, and you don't have the draftiness issue you have with a quilt. It's simple; crawl in, cinch it up around your neck when it gets cold, or pull it off your core when you get warm. Bought one with 2oz overfill and have used it on summer backpacks and paired with a belay jacket on Rainier and other climbing trips.
If you're not comfortable sleeping with a jacket on, I'd recommend getting 4 oz of overfill in the torso to make it a true ~25 degree bag at 20oz (with 4oz of overfill, approx 13oz of fill total). Then pair with a down jacket for even more flexibility.Apr 13, 2013 at 6:48 pm #1976342

I have used an Alpinelite on a few cold weather trips and really like it. I really appreciate the room inside, I was able to push it to -13f with a decent down parka, trousers and botties and was fine.
One thing though is the shell can get a bit damp from condensation I definitley notice the difference between my Phd winter bag which has a waterproof shell.Apr 15, 2013 at 4:22 am #1976735
I've been reading a bit more closely, and realise now that the wide katabatic quilts are listed as 58" wide – so in theory wider than the 3 season nunataks… however I've been reading that differential cuts etc make measurements vary widely. Has anyone tried a wide katabatic and can compare the space inside to the 55" nunataks or the wider cut WM bags?
I think a bag might be advantageous, but I'll be using a bivy, so I don't think I'll have huge problems with drafts and there's no getting away from the fact that an equivalently warm quilt (+ hood) is almost 200g lighter :sApr 15, 2013 at 8:50 am #1976795

@randalmartinLocale: Colorado
Quilts for my money are inherently more flexible with the ability to vent more freely if needed to take extend your bag in warmer than spec temperatures. The differential cut on the Katabatic Gear bags certainly means the actual useable space you have under the quilt should be even greater.Apr 15, 2013 at 9:54 pm #1977135

@heyyouLocale: Cutting brush off of the Arizona Tr
At some lower temperature, I want the heat efficiency and lack of drafts that a bag offers, instead of a quilt. I'm not sure that a quilt plus adequate head wear is always lighter than a hooded bag. The exceptions will be at lower temperatures. My opinion is the bag may share some of your torso heat with your head area. A low temperture quilt and hood may need more insulation than the bag rated to the same temp.
Recently a 5* F. Nunatak quilt was in Gear Swap. If it is that cold, why would I need to be able to expose a hand or foot to the outside air?Apr 16, 2013 at 2:30 am #1977173
I use the katabatic blackwelder 0 degree wide for winter camping. This excellent design has a draft tube that cinches at the neck and more than ample room to tuck the quilt around you, sealing out drafts. I dont personally use the pad clip system, but the double set of clips allows the quilt to really lock out drafts if needed. On a trip where temperatures fluctuated from 30 F to -11F, the versatility of the quilt was most appreciated. I don't see going back to mummy bags. I much prefer the freedom of movement that a quilt provides.Apr 16, 2013 at 4:18 am #1977181
That's what I'm thinking… necessarily, even with the most well wrapped quilt and hood there's necessarily a gap right above the mattress, and potentially around the collar.. you'd need a pretty tightly drawn collar on a quilt to match a bag
Edit: that was a delayed response to the earlier post.. but I'm curious, how tall/broad shouldered are you Ike?Apr 16, 2013 at 4:48 am #1977183

I am a 6' 3" side sleeper and use quilts down to 0 F. Of all the quilts I have owned the Arc Alpinist is still my favorite. Here is an old review of it.Apr 16, 2013 at 5:59 am #1977209
Kate MagillBPL Member
I've winter camped in quilts and mummy bags (and sometimes one inside the other!). The advantage of mummy bags is that they are foolproof, require no set-up and are pretty much guaranteed to cover every last inch of you if need be.
The advantage of quilts is that they are customizable to the conditions and the gear you have with you. For instance, it becomes impossible to add extra layers of clothing in a mummy bag because there simply isn't room; the bag won't loft efficiently if it is stretched to the max with you and your clothes. A well-cut quilt accommodates more layers if you want to stretch the temperature rating beyond its lower limit.
I find I really like combining a quilt and a hooded down jacket for cold nights. I find a jacket hood far more effective than the hood on a sleeping bag, simply because your jacket hood is designed to move with you. If you sleep on your side or stomach at all, you will probably end up breathing into the mummy bag's hood at some point during the night which leads to a lot of moisture condensing in the hood. If you sleep like a mummy (motionless and on your back), then the hood on a sleeping bag should work fine.
To some, if you're already carrying a hooded insulating layer for the purpose of wearing in camp, then carrying a hood on your sleeping bag is redundant.Apr 16, 2013 at 6:12 am #1977211
Not tall (5'8). Shoulder-wise, I wear a size 40 jacket.
As a tossing and turning side sleeper, I always found my face mashing into the hood at some point in the night. Like Kate, I much prefer a separate hood.Apr 16, 2013 at 6:41 am #1977217
"Recently a 5* F. Nunatak quilt was in Gear Swap. If it is that cold, why would I need to be able to expose a hand or foot to the outside air?"
Still is. :-) I'm also a quilt user in winter. As a tosser and turner I have no interest in ever going back to a bag. I also don't expose my hand or foot when it's really cold, and I stay toasty.
On a recent trip, overnight temps got into the teens. I was so warm in my quilt I didn't even have any head covering until about 3 am. I woke up then to do another bit of tossing and turning (as I had throughout the night), my head felt cool (not cold), put on my down balaclava and went back to sleep until morning.Apr 16, 2013 at 6:46 am #1977218

I have two of the wide Katabatics, and have had various Nunataks. The wide Katabatics are wider than anything else I've ever had with the exception of the Nunatak Expedition (which is sized to go over another bag/quilt if you want it to). I can easily wrap a wide Katabatic around my fat little body to keep drafts at bay.Apr 16, 2013 at 6:46 am #1977220

How do you like the Pertex Endurance shell for the Blackwelder? Does it get clammy or does it breathe ok? I've been thinking about getting one for colder weather. I know you can vent easily because it's a quilt, but I don't know how much venting I want to do at Blackwelder temperatures.
I had a Feathered Friends bag with their Nano shell fabric and I felt that it was not very breathable… I felt clammy in the bag. I switched to WM microfiber shelled bag and the clamminess disappeared. If the Pertex Endurance fabric performs anywhere close to WM Microfiber I'd be very tempted to get one…Apr 16, 2013 at 7:47 am #1977234

I use a Nunatak most of the time, but when it's colder or windy I like a wide WM bag. I have a Ponderosa (I think) and it's plenty warm and spacious, and I sometimes wear a down jacket inside. It's very wide, so I can use it like a double quilt (when zipped open) for me and my lady when we go out together. I honestly like the freedom in a quilt better, so the 5* offered may be a viable solution for you. One great thing about Nunatak is that they are custom made-mine has no straps. You can choose the fabric, the cut, the overstuff amount, and other options. Just call Tom. Sure, the delivery times are long, but I got just what I wanted, down to the colors!Apr 16, 2013 at 10:19 am #1977286
Until this past winter I did as Pete did – if the temperature was forecast below 15 F I switched to my WM Sequoia. This past winter I've been experimenting with a Nunatak hybrid Arc Alpinist-Arc Expedition. Arc Alpinist with 4 oz overfill, differential cut, wider at the shoulders than a standard Large Arc Alpinist. It has worked quite well down to 0-5 F with a down- or synthetic-filled pad. Not sure if I'd take it below that.Apr 16, 2013 at 7:50 pm #1977489
I think I'm pretty well sold on quilts, even in winter – based on the comments in this thread…
Now the hard decision – The katabatic seems like the all round roomier quilt, has more down, even at a warmer rating (22 Alsek vs 20 Arc Alpinist), the more advanced pad attachment system for when I want it… Aside from the fact there's only one colour choice and it's ugly is there anything I'm missing??
I guess there's also the question of whether I need overfill to get down to the magic number of 20f, but based on fill weight I doubt I really do…Apr 16, 2013 at 8:03 pm #1977497
There is this screaming deal on a Nunatak Expedition quilt: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=70640Apr 17, 2013 at 6:15 am #1977584
Doug is right – that's a terrific price for the Arc Ex.Apr 17, 2013 at 7:07 am #1977595
"How do you like the Pertex Endurance shell for the Blackwelder? Does it get clammy or does it breathe ok?"
I like it fine. It seems perfectly breathable and the inner shell is snuggly soft. I don't think I can really comment on clamminess though. In subzero temps I'm usually wearing a VBL jacket and pants which will far overshadow the quilt in terms of any breathability issues.

What's your favorite Anti-Virus suite, IPS and IDS system?
I'm wanting to familiarize myself with a few more apps, since most security jobs I'm finding list "Good knowledge of IPS/IDS, Anti-Virus, Web Content Filtering and Anti-Spam technologies" as a requirement. Obviously I do know and play around with a couple of products such as Symantec, McAfee and AVG as well as BlackICE and trying to learn Snort, but not too sure what these vague requirements actually want us to know.


text:
Our feet are perhaps the most important physical component of our bodies, as they help us walk with the help of our legs. Thanks to this, most people should start taking better care of their feet. As the average person is known to walk the 'equivalent of twice around the world throughout their life,' the feet, like the rest of the body, needs proper care to ensure that it keeps, well, working.
The foot, on its own, contains 26 bones and 33 joints; the height and arch of the foot also varies between different people. When the arches of our feet start deviating from their normal position, we might start experiencing minor or major problems with our feet.
Caring for your feet
The best way to start caring for the feet is introducing foot hygiene to our daily routine. The feet, as mentioned, act as 'the foundation of our mobility' as humans. Due to this, we need to care for them if there are problems and make sure that they remain clean and healthy in appearance.
Here are some tips to help you add foot hygiene to your daily life.
- Thoroughly wash and dry your feet. It's best to use mild soap to wash the outside of the feet and between your toes. Also, completely dry your feet between the toes, as the moisture can cause the feet to develop a rash or other skin irritations.
- Wear properly fitting socks and shoes. Wearing properly fitting shoes and socks can help protect the feet against injuries and irritation to the skin and soft tissue of the feet.
- Keep your shoes and socks clean. Clean socks prevent feet from developing rashes and other skin problems, as dirty socks can still harbor sweat and other irritants. Keeping your shoes clean on the inside and outside also prevents harmful bacteria and fungi from traveling on your socks and potentially getting on your feet.
- Avoid going barefoot, especially in public areas. Many public areas harbor bacteria, fungi and other harmful irritants that can negatively impact the health of your feet.
- Rotate your shoe selection. It's actually suggested to avoid wearing the same pair of shoes for more than two days in a row. You should allow your shoes to air dry before they are worn again, which can help get rid of the excessive moisture within them.
- Inspect your feet on a regular basis. A regular inspection of your feet can help you see when there are changes in color, appearance or the texture of the skin of your feet. If you do see any changes, it's suggested to see a podiatrist about treatment options.
- Don't ignore foot pain. Pain within the feet is a likely indicator of structural issues and other issues within the feet. Any symptoms that actually increase or don't go away after a certain amount of time need to be addressed by your podiatrist.
- Hydrate your feet. If you wear a lot of open toed shoes, sometimes sunlight and weather conditions can use a lot of moisture to leave the skin. Always use lotion and creams on your feet on a daily basis, which can help keep moisture from leaving your feet.
- Be careful when cutting your toenails. The toenails, when cut awkwardly, can potentially grow and cause ingrown toenails. Toenails should always be cut straight across and not in corners. The corners of your toenails should be filed down using an emery board.
- Don't forget to exercise. Exercising can help keep your feet well conditioned, in addition to keeping your weight under control. Always wear appropriate shoes when exercising, such as athletic sneakers.
Your feet are an incredibly important part of your body, so you shouldn't neglect its care. If you need insurance to see a Podiatrist, get an online quote here. By adding a daily foot care regime to your lifestyle, you're essentially making sure that your feet are always healthy.
