Hey there,
I've seached through the forums, and figured this kind of thread could use an update.
My GF is 5'2, about 15-16" torso. I would love to get her a pack under a pound as she has no need for all the space of her REI flash 50. Another issue is that she has narrow shoulders and a pack like my MLD Newt has too wide of shoulder straps for her.
Seems many companies don't make torsos that small on their packs? I've checked out the SMD Feather, would like something more simple possibly. The Borah Stealth looks good too, just not sure if its quite small enough for her.
Other ideas?Jun 10, 2013 at 10:38 pm #1995504

Make one, or get one made. If you're just after an MLD Newt with shorter torso and custom straps someone like Chris Zimmer could probably bang one together in a few hours.Jun 10, 2013 at 10:52 pm #1995506

Maybe Golite Jam 35L, size small (15.5" torso min): http://www.golite.com/Jam-35L-Pack-Unisex-P46811.aspx
Cheap, comfortable, looks nice, light enough for price, award winning, bulletproof, classic, off-the-shelf.
If you really care about the 1 lb get her this while you wait for a custom one to be built to her speck. Only I'm not sure if ordering a custom cuben pack for your GF is equivalent to a wedding ring in ultralightland.
Personal preference here, but if you are buying this to get her into backpacking, or she is otherwise not a already gram wienie like you, then I'd go for the comfort over a few oz first, and make up for it by carrying the extra grams yourself. Probably more likely to get her to go with you more often.
Edit: also like the zimmerbuilt idea!Jun 11, 2013 at 4:39 am #1995524

I think this is a good consideration and good luck with your search.
Describing size in liters might be a thing that will catch on. As with weight, it doesn't let out the secret where the weight went. As with dress sizes and different manufacturers, it might give girls a smaller number to use.Jun 11, 2013 at 5:42 am #1995530

ULA makes short. Not light enough for you. Though with female straps and all, could be comfy. Can try on and return. Something that can't be done w/custom.Jun 11, 2013 at 8:17 am #1995560

I'm a couple inches taller than your GF but have exactly the same torso length. I also happen to be the only woman who has responded here so far, and you'll notice that my advice is different!
One thing about being a woman is that our bodies and our pack requirements are generally different from those of most men. I personally have extremely pressure-sensitive shoulders, so I require some sort of frame and load lifters in order to keep the straps completely off the tops of my shoulders and transfer all the pack weight to the hipbelt. This rules out a frameless pack unless I'm carrying 5 pounds or less. Even that small amount is uncomfortable for me without a stiff foam back and a well-padded hipbelt.
More important, a woman's center of gravity is normally several inches lower than a man's. This means that if there is not adequate weight transfer to the hipbelt, which requires some kind of frame, the pack will be top-heavy and pull her off balance. This is another reason to avoid a frameless and hip-beltless pack like the ones you're looking at. That means your one pound weight limit is probably unrealistic if you want her to be comfortable. There are lots of packs with some kind of frame that weigh less than two pounds. .
My current pack (Six Moon Designs Comet, with the "optional"–mandatory, IMHO–stays) has been discontinued and SMD's nearest substitute, the Starlight, is far too big for me (it's 60L; I've never gone over 40L even when sherpa-ing for grandkids). I have found the Comet wonderfully comfortable and have carried upto 37 pounds in it. My shoulders, back and hips were just fine even though my knees and feet were screaming—I won't try that again! Normally my maximum total pack weight is 24 lbs. for a 9-day trip. It's 15 lbs. for a solo 3-day trip if I don't take fishing gear. My pack alone is 27 ounces.
If I were replacing my current pack, the first packs that I'd look at would be the Elemental Horizons Kalais (with the so-called "optional" stays) and the ULA Ohm 2.0. Both are under 2 pounds, are available in my (and your GF's) short torso length and can be gotten with the "S" shaped straps which for most women are far more comfortable. I can get along with a unisex pack (which mine is), but having tried the "S" shaped straps, I definitely prefer those. Both these packs come with 15" torso length. Elemental Horizons will also customize the Kalais for your GF; just ask them! The ULA Circuit (heavier, but more supportive) comes in a youth size which has an adjustable torso length; with the "S" straps this pack might also be better for your GF. It's too bad they don't have this option in the Ohm 2.0 (it wouldn't hurt to ask, though).
Be sure your GF has all her gear (including water, fuel and the equivalent in weight and bulk of food) ready when the pack arrives, so she can load up the pack, adjust it and "hike" around the house for a couple of hours. This needs to be done (keeping the tags on and the pack clean) while the pack is still returnable, usually within 30 days. It's important to do this with her actual gear; weights are not an adequate substitute.Jun 11, 2013 at 8:45 am #1995569

Have you thought about asking Ron at MLD to just make the shoulders narrower on one of his packs? It's a small modification so it might not incur any custom build charges.
I have the Newt, and while it's beautifully simple, it's probably the most featureless pack you can buy — 1 compartment with a roll down top. So it's not the most versatile pack, and it's pretty small too. Perhaps the MLD Burn instead?Jun 11, 2013 at 8:56 am #1995572

I agree with Mary,I own the Elemental Horizon Kalais and it is a great pack.You can remove the stays if you want it lighter or frameless.The size small fits a 14" to 16" torso and Mathew is great to work with on exactly what you want and need. Here is Will Rietvelds's review.I am 5' tall and my torso is 16".Jun 11, 2013 at 9:06 am #1995575

I think pretty much every company makes a pack for a 16" torso. The medium Golite Jams are actually pretty good for that size, even though they claim they're for substantially longer folks.
The Golite straps are on the narrower side. HMG and Osprey as well. The Hornet 32 could suit her needs well.Jun 11, 2013 at 9:09 am #1995576

MLD offers the Prophet in size XS and Ron custom made a size XS Burn for my daughter. MLD has a relatively long lead time but offers top quality, proven design performance and a durable yet light pack.Jun 11, 2013 at 10:37 am #1995597

You can also check out the Zpacks Zero and add on options as you see fit. I have the Arc Blast, which is bigger than what you're looking for, but I'm enjoying it. If I had to be nitpicky, the shoulder straps are a little wide for me and I wish they were a S shaped, but they are not bothersome if I adjust everything correctly. You can probably ask Joe to make an S shaped shoulder strap. I loosen the sternum strap so that the straps are at the ends of my shoulders, and pretty much almost all the weight is on my hips, and I feel no pressure on my shoulders at all. Just for reference, I am 5'0" with 16" torso.Jun 11, 2013 at 3:10 pm #1995688

Hey thanks for all the responses!
To clear something up, this is something she has requested, I am not trying to make her adopt my style or something like that. She is super badass and hikes 20-30 miles per day with me and we spend A LOT of time outdoors persuing various disciplines.
Thanks so much for your insights Mary. Some of these things haven't been considered. Sounds like for you, a frame is absolutely neccessary? Meaning MLD, Zpacks, and many others will not work? Is the 35 liter Golite considered framless?
I love MLD but they seem pretty backed up. I sent an email about a custom burn for her a while back and they didn't seem super interested in making one.
Really wish ULA would make a 35 liter ohm…

My wife is about the same size/ht as what you are talking about. I bought an older Jam 2 in SM, and its a perfect fit. I keep her weight down, and she is able to hike much more and much farther now. Best news is you can find these packs around with some looking, and they can be really cheap. Good LuckJun 11, 2013 at 6:56 pm #1995757

"Is the 35 liter Golite considered framless?"
It has a foam "frame", so a judgement call. If the weight is low you could say "yes". You could also mod it with a stiffer frame I assume. If you use a rolled up ridgerest it feels like a pillow on your back.Jun 12, 2013 at 12:37 am #1995844

At 5'1" with a slight build, I find S-shaped shoulder straps the most comfortable – GoLite particularly make packs with straps that are comfortable and well spaced for those with narrow shoulders. Unlike Mary, I'm happy carrying frameless certainly up to around 13kg, the heaviest I've carried on recent trips (the was in a GoLite Pinnacle).
Good luck with your quest!Jun 12, 2013 at 1:59 am #1995852

@veganalohaLocale: USA
I agree with the other ladies that have posted. Women have different fit issues, like needing the S-shaped shoulder straps, narrower shoulder straps, lower center of gravity, etc. So you may need her to try on the pack because torso length is only one measurement to be aware of when fitting the pack.
I am the same height and torso length as your GF. I have several packs including two 2011 Golite Packs, the last year they made Women-specific packs. I have the 36L Jam and the 50L Pinnacle. I like both, they fit and carry well. However, they weigh more than you wanted at 1.5 and 2.0 lbs respectively. I have done thru hikes with these very comfortably.
I also have the Gossamer Gear Murmur (10.5oz.)and Kumo (13.5 oz.)for really light trips. They are both 36L, frameless and size Medium, as they don't make a small in these packs, but since I use them for SUL, short trips, I like them very much. The only real difference between the two is the hip belt. If you are planning only short trips, either of these meet your weight standard of less than 1 lb.
GG now has the Gorilla available in the small size. You may look at this if you want a larger pack at 46L. Their website says it is 24 oz. GG does not do custom work.
If you want a larger pack, 35-50L, that is less than 1 lb., I would also recommend you look at the ZPacks Arc Blast. I recently ordered one and am waiting for it to arrive. The good thing about ZPacks is that they still do custom work so they can easily accommodate special fit needs. I ordered mine with the S-shaped shoulder straps and narrower straps as well. Work with Joe or Matt to get the pack done the way you want it, especially regarding the correct torso measurement, which depends also on where your GF wears the hip belt.
Have fun!Jun 12, 2013 at 1:11 pm #1995981

While I don't require a full-on frame, there needs to be something besides foam! The removable stays in my current pack work just fine, and they are necessary for the load lifters (which I absolutely need) to function properly. Of course that's for me; pack fit is as individual as shoe fit!
I've been looking for a winter daypack, about 28-30L, and have consistently found that those with torso size of 16" or the unisex "small" size of 17" are both too big for me. And I refuse to carry a day pack that weighs more than my 27 oz. 10-day backpack! Again, YMMV. I've found that I'm better off to take my 40L backpacking pack and compress it down.
I'm also running into the issue that more and more "mainstream" pack makers, including GoLite and REI, have switched from woman-specific to unisex packs, particularly for the smaller capacity packs.
Whatever you do, make sure your GF tests each pack with her gear loaded up for several hours while the pack is still returnable. Keep the tags on and keep the pack clean (meaning she'll have to test it in the house or walking around the neighborhood on a clear day). You may have to pay shipping charges both ways for several packs before she finds the ideal pack!

Big thumbs up!
I was wondering about a cocking system like that on a 7.62x25 build. Glad to see it can be done. Does the handle lock in a slot or free to follow the carrier?
That looks badass! I see I'm not the only one using an HK non-recip charging handle on a blowback build

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
As for your comments on me, I like that list, but I'm not 100% sold on Boldin. He hasn't done much since week 1 and Kap has been passing more to Davis lately. I had Randle in there because he's had pretty good stats the past 2 weeks (incl 2 TD vs both Philly and Chicago), and Minnesota has crap corners and they'll be rolling all their coverage to Nicks and Cruz. It's streaky given the route running decision issues we all know Randle has, but at least he's not straight up quitting on a route like Nicks did in Chicago. But that's just my opinion.

Yeah, Randle has been pretty solid, he's had good fantasy performances in half his games. Considering the amount Eli passes, he seems to be a pretty good WR3 play any week.
His real value is as a stash, though. If someone in front of him goes down (or gets traded), he becomes a clear WR2/low-end WR1.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nice and welcoming appartment in the city center, nearby the Venceslas Square. Jan was a great host, he organized the transfert from the airport to the appartment for us. The flat is spacious, modern, very well decorated. The kitchen is well equipped (no microwaves oven though). I definitly recommend Jan's appartment.
We booked the apartment for a city trip to Prague over the week end and it ideally fit the purpose: very well situated, very roomy, comfortable and clean. The price is absolutely fair.
The contact to Jan was uncomplicated, also checking in and -out.
We recommend it.
We had a very nice time in our apartment in Ostrovni, ideally situated two minutes from the Opera House and ten minutes from Charles Bridge (on foot). We barely needed public transport to visit the town. The apartment was nice en spacious, a bit cold maybe in autumn/winter (in each room there is an electric heating system, which is really necessary). Also a pity that the Praque community empties the trash containers during the night or very early in the morning (quite some noise in the room at the street side), but when you have been visiting this beautiful city and walked the whole day, you might sleep through it ;-)
We didn't get to meet Jan, but before our journey he was most helpful with reservations and organizing our transport from the airport to Ostrovni. Service was great!
Great apartment. Great location
Excellent apartment and place. Easy to get in contact with owner.
It was an awesome place to stay!!
We had very good time in Prague. Jan is very friendly. The appartment is very big and comfortable, it really looks as on pictures. We had everything we need for our 3 nights stay. It is very centrally located.
For sure I would stay again on this flat!
We were so confortable in this appartment, the owner was so kind, puntual and permissive with us, we got a quick answer from them always which it's pretty important. About the appartment it was great, so close to the city center you can go walking everywhere. We found everything clean and it's nice and well equipated. I strongly recommend it.
Very central apartment, comfortable and spacious.
When we'll go again in Prague, we'll book the same apartment.
The town is fantastic at Christmas time.
Nice apartment and beautiful city. I'd like to visit there again. Clean and close reach to Chales' Bridge and Prague Castle. Easy to find the apartment right behind of National Theater in Praha.

CBS News refuses to find fault with its Libya clip
CBS News continues to defend its reporting on Benghazi despite a controversy over a much-talked-about "60 Minutes" clip of President Obama discussing whether the Benghazi assault was a terrorist act. That video hit the Internet on Sunday, under circumstances that Fox News's Bret Baier considered suspect. …
In other words, CBS News sunk immeasurable resources into the Benghazi story. It did solid reporting. It did an excellent timeline. And to judge from its official statements, it doesn't believe it erred in handling the "60 Minutes" video.
Take at face value the network's protestations about enterprise reporting. Yet consider, too, that the network would have done more to enhance the public's understanding of White House actions if it had foregone some of that enterprise in favor of simply highlighting the Kroft-Obama exchange when it was most relevant. Right after the town-hall debate, that is.

Excerpt: ""You would love to say its this one thing or one person or one aspect, but it doesnt work out that way," offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said. "Believe me when I tell you this, its all of us. We all have to do better."
That was the case Sunday, as the entire offensive line had trouble keeping defensive tackle Geno Atkins and the rest of the defensive line off of Manning. Atkins didn't register a sack, but according to Pro Football Focus he hit Manning four times and added five hurries. The Bengals racked up four sacks as a team.
Offensive line coach Pat Flaherty said the game situation didn't make it easier against the Bengals' potent pass rush. Down 14-0 early, the Giants were forced to pass the ball more than they had planned and Bengals brought the pressure.
Flaherty said Diehl, who sprained his MCL in the first quarter of the Giants' Week 2 win over the Buccaneers, was given his job back because "you don't really lose your job because of an injury." Diehl returned as the team's jumbo tight end for three games before he was given back the starting spot at right tackle against the Steelers. Locklear, because of Will Beatty's emergence at left tackle, was relegated to jumbo tight end duty.
After the Steelers' win, Diehl took the blame for surrendering a sack to Lamarr Woodley on third-and-10 that resulted in a Manning fumble on what proved to be Giants' final drive.
Flaherty admitted that Diehl, a 10-year veteran, is still transitioning to right tackle after spending the last seven seasons exclusively between left tackle and left guard. Diehl hadn't focused on right tackle since his second season in 2004 when he started all 16 games there. He started 16 games at right guard his rookie year.
"I think the time he was injured set him back in terms of his techniques and fundamentals, and he needs to get continue to catch up with those," Flahety said.
"I think the mental part of it is easier, knowing what to do within the framework of the offense is easy. The technique's not. It's not," Flaherty later added about switching positions on the offensive line. "Because you got a guy who's playing left defensive end everyday and he's going to pass rush. You're the right tackle. You have to do that everyday. Now, can you get your technique, your fundamentals down within certain amount of time? Yeah, you can. But the change is challenging."
Flaherty said Locklear, a nine-year veteran signed over the offseason, handled the switch from left tackle -- where he played during training camp and started the first two games -- to right tackle "as good as any professional I've been around." But even Locklear squashed the notion that his play was as pristine as the numbers indicate.
"When I was in there I bet you there were four or five times where's Eli gotten rid of the ball before I let him get hit," Locklear said. "There was twice in Dallas where I couldn't hear and they came almost free untouched, but he got rid of the ball. That's just the difference in games. And I said it before, I think we went three or four games without giving up a sack and I said eventually it's going to catch up where he's not getting rid of the ball or guys aren't getting open but it was going to happen."

Category: names staring with Q
If the letter 'Q' was a TV performer, it would get a very high Q-rating, if only for its quirky charm. Babies with names beginning with the least used letter of the alphabet can automatically claim a unique, attention-grabbing initial which they'll have to share with very few others, and the same will probably be true of their name as well.
The original, core group of Q names stems from the Latin Quintus, which means fifth. Quintus has a considerable literary history: Quintus Ennius was one of the earliest Roman poets, Quintus was the name of Titus's son in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, and Quintus Slide was a comical character in Anthony Trollope's Palliser novels. It could fit right in with other trendy ancient Roman names, like Atticus and Augustus. Descendants and offshoots of Quintus include Quinton, Quintin, Quentin, and Quincy, Quina, Quintina and Quintana.
Quentin is, along with Quincy and Quinn, the most widely used. The name of a 5th century martyred saint (namesake of the San Francisco prison) who–this could come in handy–is the saint said to protect against coughs. The popularity of Sir Walter Scott's 1823 novel Quentin Durward was largely responsible for spreading the name across Scotland and England. In modern literature we have William Faulkner's Quentin Compson and the niece who is named after him in The Sound and the Fury. In addition, there are Theodore Roosevelt's aviator son Quentin, and the somewhat outrageous Quentins Crisp and Tarentino.

Situated north and south of Gerzeh were several burial grounds from various periods. From the end of 1912 and for the following four months, one of Petrie's trusted assistants, Reginald Engelbach, worked here. He chose to call the area with the cemeteries Riqqeh after a nearby village with a railway station, and he assigned each cemetery a letter, A-G. The largest and richest tombs in Riqqeh were found in Cemetery A.
Excavations at Riqqeh
The bedrock under Cemetery A was best suited to the cutting of tomb shafts and burial chambers. The rich tombs here had been looted by grave-robbers, but there were still discoveries to be made. With the help of the remaining finds Engelbach dated the plundered tombs to the Middle Kingdom, c. 1950-1800 BC. The Glyptotek was given a set of four jars for the preservation of internal organs (Canopic jars) [evt. link til 'Egypten' om mumier og dødetro]) from one of the tombs. The name of the owner of the grave was inscribed on three of the jars as Nebsen, but as Sesostris on the fourth. This suggests therefore that something untoward happened at the burial, or in connection with the subsequent tomb-robberies.

oh geez. yeah i think things are just saffer staying right here in the good ole USA
I hunted in Europe and was properly licensed, without that license the US Fish and Wildlife will not give you an import permit, and if you try and bring something in without it you get to go to gay-love (albeit against your will) federal prison.
One of the guys I work with has a cheetah skin from one he shot in Namibia in 2000. He has been working overseas all over the world and so far has not entered the United States with it. I keep telling him it is a bad idea to try and bring it back when he retires, but so far he's still overseas and doesn't have to worry about it.
Really BS what the USFWS can get away with in prosecuting you. If you get a speeding ticket in Namiba while you are there no problem, but if you break a wildlife law you can be tried in the United States.
oh geez. yeah i think things are just saffer staying right here in the good ole USA
No, you have to explore the world, what is the point of living on this planet if you aren't going to check it out.

Nissan's new from-the-ground-up Patrol raises an interesting point. Is its arch-rival, the Toyota Land Cruiser, over-equipped with off-road technology for the second decade of the 21st century, and if so, does Nissan have it right?
The seven-seat Patrol, which dumps diesel power for a 5.6-litre V8 running on 95 octane or better, rebrands the nameplate from a tough bush wagon to a luxury SUV oriented towards on-road touring and towing, thanks to a newfound 3500kg brake rating.
The Patrol's 32-valve DOHC alloy Yokohama-built V8 features Nissan's VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) technology and new Direct Injection petrol system. It's a smooth and classy unit.
Underpinning a sleek and rather handsome body is a new ladder chassis, but the off-road-ready beam axles have gone, replaced by independent suspension on all corners. This arrangement, assisted by some new technology provides a huge improvement in street ride and handling.
"The new Patrol is aimed more at the premium end of the SUV market, focusing on customers who want a fully featured SUV with class-leading technology, space, comfort and safety features," says Nissan New Zealand boss John Manley.
It was designed primarily for the Middle East. Russia and Australia are shaping up as the second and third major markets.
So gone is the overtly tough press-on-regardless nature of its predecessor, the Y61 Patrol, a vehicle prized by Nato, the UN and government relief and aid agencies worldwide.
It's also the vehicle of choice of our Special Air Service and the police special tactics squad.
The Toyota, meanwhile, carries on with a now ageing design embodying considerable off-road presence that was at least the equal of the Y61 and probably better.
But with prices pushing $148,000 for the top VX Limited, few people are buying Cruisers for use on tracks and trails, so its off-road competence is largely wasted. It's the same with such vehicles as Range Rover, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Land Rover Discovery.
Nissan's plan was to bring the Patrol further on to the road, while equipping it with good off-road ability, should it be needed; seemingly a sound plan for a marketplace whose idea of a SUV has gradually changed to towing boats, horse floats and ferrying the family.
The Patrol's engine drives through a seven-speed automatic transmission and an electronically controlled, All Mode 4x4 system of the type now becoming popular on high end SUVs.
It's worked by a circular electronic switch cluster behind the gear selector and sets-up the Patrol for sand, rock, snow or on-road driving. It also activates a rear differential lock, New Patrol rides the high road
Nissan's plan was to bring the Patrol further on to the road.Hill Descent Control, low-range gearing and turns the stability control on and off.
Nissan has priced Patrol at $114,000 for the leather and sunroof-equipped Ti specification, the only version available in New Zealand. In Australia, it's the middle of three models.
Despite being the most expensive Nissan sold in New Zealand, apart from the high-performance GT-R, the new Patrol represents good buying in an expensive segment. A base Land Cruiser VX costs $125,790 and the super-luxury Lexus LX570 starts from $196,900.
The Y61 left our showrooms carrying a $78,300 price tag.
The Australians continue to sell this older model, but it's gone from New Zealand, where demand dwindled from a once healthy 40 a month to just a couple.
The new Patrol gives most buyers with six figures to spend all they want in an SUV: style, room, good performance and top towing.
Its pricing and fresh design direction mean that the Toyota, Lexus and other large luxury SUVs may find the Patrol tracking deep into their territory.
Wagon's party trick
Nissan has fitted the Patrol with its Hydraulic Body Motion Control (HBMC) technology that reduces body roll in high-speed corners on sealed surfaces and maximises
suspension travel off-road.
Developed for world rallying, it's the company's first application of the technology for the road.
Hydraulic chambers integrated into each shock absorber automatically control suspension travel.
These chambers are cross-linked with piping, allowing transfer of hydraulic fluid.
When cornering, roll stiffness is increased, reducing the amount of body lean over the outside wheels.
HBMC can vary suspension travel independently on either side of the vehicle, giving a flat, stable ride.
Off-road, the lack of anti-roll bars allows the suspension to rise and fall with less impediment, helping maintain traction.
Driven tried it on- and off-road during the Australasian media launch near Mount Gambier, South Australia, and compared to the base version without it, works well, particularly in smoothing out bumps.
Patrol timeline
1951: Nissan signs agreement to build a Jeep under license to help revitalise Japanese farming industry. First Patrol launched. Bears striking resemblance to Jeep.
1960: G60 Patrol developed, moving from the military austerity of its predecessor.
1980: Third generation Patrol 160 arrives.
1983: Production starts in Spain, for Europe.
1987: Fourth generation, the GQ, introduced.
1998: Fifth generation GU launched.
2000: 4-cylinder 3.0TD ZD30 diesel fitted.

Calculating multi-family dwelling unit service sizes needn't be a difficult process, but it can be if you don't follow the right steps
Mlulti-family service calculations can seem confusing, especially since you have a choice of methods standard (Art. 220, Part II) and optional (Art. 220, Part III). But clearing up that confusion is easy once you break them down into their component steps. Deciding which method to use is the hard part. On electrical exams, use the standard method unless the question specifies the optional method.

I know that supers are not supposed to be on while the treatment is in progress, but can you have a super in place that's intended for consumption by the bees in the Winter? I need to feed a little bit, but by the time the treatment course is done it'll be the third week in October, and the bees will likely not take much feed.

Quality product By Rocco on 3/24/2017Rocco would recommend this product to a friendThis is a very quiet high quality pump. I don't understand how people find fault with it. If you know pumps this is quality.
excellent By nacho on 8/13/2016nacho wouldn't recommend this product to a friendamazing product ! great quality
PERFECT By Brett on 3/6/2016Brett would recommend this product to a friendI bought this pump to use as a mixing station pump. It plumbed in effortlessly and is quiet. The flow is wonderful from the bottom of a 44g Brute to dump back into the top through 1" pipe, but I do wish I would have gone one or two sizes up to REALLY get that flow going. Will definitely be back with Pan World when I need another pump
Very nice pump By Bradley on 5/11/2014Bradley would recommend this product to a friendBought the 40px to run my mixing station, and could not be happier. I was very pleasantly surprised at how quit this thing is. It dose run a tad bit hot but not to bad. Very nice pump.
Great for the price By Jason on 11/23/2013Jason would recommend this product to a friendI have a couple of these pumps on my system. These pumps are good quality thought they do run a little louder than the Iwaki brand, but they also come at a cheaper price. Since most of my equipment is in a room and not under the aquarium, I was ok with the louder pumps.
Good buy By SkyHawk on 6/24/2013SkyHawk would recommend this product to a friendSurprised at how quiet it is. Can't hear it at all. Using it for my water mixing / auto top off at 6' head.
Had to buy a 3 prong extension cord as the power cord was short 1'.
Great for mixing stations By Thomas on 11/17/2012Thomas would recommend this product to a friendI bought this pump to build my own DIY mixing station. Attached a hose via a PVC attachment and I ran it all the way upstairs to fill my tank. Runs quiet and only warm to the touch
Great Pump By John on 10/14/2012John would recommend this product to a friendI have this pump on my make up water system pumping into 125 gallon sump. Works like a champ.
What an awesome pump! By ROY on 1/3/2012ROY would recommend this product to a friendI'm using this pump for my saltwater mixing station, and when it's running, I cannot hear it at all! Very quiet,and very powerful. I would definitely use one on my main display tank!
Pros- Powerful, quiet, well priced. Cons- it runs hot By NIcholas on 3/10/2011NIcholas would recommend this product to a friendPros- Powerful, quiet, well priced. Cons- it runs hot
I am using the panworld 40 (480gph) on a planted aquarium, it runs a inline heater, co2 reactor (4inch pvc pipe about 3 Ft long and filled with bio media), a DIY fluidized bed filter and pumps back up to my tank at just over 5 ft. I may not be exact but by my measurements it still gives out over 400 Gph
I also notice that its quiet compared to other external pumps (as long as its not touching anything).
The 40 is the biggest size that doesn't have a cooling fan, although the fans are noticeably loud, they seem to keep it running cool. I'm not sure if it's because of the pressure of all my equipment its running or the lack of a cooling fan but my pump runs hot almost too hot to touch!
Over all I loved it!

Christian Dior Spring 2012 Couture
At the preview of his Christian Dior spring haute couture collection on Sunday evening, Bill Gaytten, the designer entrusted with the house's creative direction post John Galliano, talked of viewing the iconic look of the house with X-ray vision. Gaytten went on to say he was thinking about transparency versus opacity, of clothes having to be perfect enough to be held up to intense scrutiny, and of floral embroidery that gradated from placement stitches to only-in-Paris-could-you-see-this-level-of-craftsmanship, a commentary on the brilliance of the work needed to conjure up couture.
You can see where I am going with this, can't you? Work in a state of flux, a forensic eye on everything you create, and the relationship between conceal and reveal; it all marks the current state of the house of Dior, which has been subject to the name game for nearly a year now, with the world guessing as to who is going to permanently replace Galliano. Plenty have been touted. For its part, Dior—and its owner, LVMH—have done nothing but keep a dignified silence over the matter, and just let Gaytten get on with his work. Would that everyone have been so gracious and not contributed to the rumor-mongering that has been going on. Take into account the fact that Dior's sales have ticked upward in less than a year, too, and perhaps there isn't the pressure to make a change soon or maybe even ever. Certainly, in Gaytten's case, he has emerged this season as a perfectly fine keeper of the Dior flame. He didn't deviate from the house's heritage as shaped by John Galliano, whose masterly collision of light and air with construction and restriction was extensively riffed on here.
The X-ray idea was evident from the opening look, worn by Karlie Kloss, a white sheer organza coat that looked like Gaytten had belted a cloud with a minimal/clinical black leather, and then proceeded to embroider it with black flowers over its full gauze skirt. From there on, he explored a transparent/opaque, positive/negative, black/white theme through billowing jackets, dresses, full skirts and coats, to a closing series of grand ball dresses, some heavily tiered and concertina-pleated, others fluttering with wispy feathers—all as if putting shadow and light into clothing form. Along the way, he touched on the house's shade of red, with a finale to end all finales: a dramatically proportioned strapless evening dress on Aymeline Valade. There was also the classic houndstooth worked as an embroidered check on a jacket or pencil skirt. And Gaytten emphasized his stricter, controlled silhouette via the use of faux-tailoring basting stitches. To put this fifties glamour moment across, the models struck the kind of poses they would need to have worked if they'd wanted to convince legendary fashion illustrator (and Dior collaborator) René Gruau to put pen to paper.
In the end, what transpired was a well enough executed show that spoke to what Dior can be by referencing what it once was. Therein lies the rub. With so many creative directors advancing the cause of the role of forward-thinking design in defining their brands—Phoebe Philo at Céline springs to mind, with her cool-girl urbanity, as does Givenchy's sexed-up tough chic, courtesy of Riccardo Tisci—it feels more important than ever that Dior start pushing into new territory, too, regardless of who's at the helm. Right now there is a vacancy for pretty, feminine, youthfully elegant clothes drawn for the twenty-first century—and someone should be filling it.

It seems that there has been a bit of confusion or simply a lack of information as to how to contact the Mods for whatever reason. The best way is to send a private message. For those who do not know how to do this, it's very simple:
On top of every post, there is a contact button, which opens into a pull-down menu. The option is there to either send an email or send a private message to the post author. When you click the option to send a private message, another screen will come up in which you would type your message. It is very similar to sending someone an email. The message will go to that persons' Inbox. All posters have this option. Your Inbox can be found in the top right corner, right near the Sign Out button. Clicking it will show you if you have any messages from other posters, again much like an email account.
The other option is to send an email to email@example.com
Starting threads in order to get our attention is strongly discouraged. If you have a problem/complaint, the last thing we want to see is a new thread started for you and everyone else to jump into. They usually get ridiculously out of hand and most of the time, someone ends up getting banned for it.
Hope this clears up any confusion

text: Also known as ground pearls, pearl scale is sometimes a problem in bermudagrass, St. Augustinegrass, and zoysia lawns. The insects look like miniature pearls in the soil of infested areas. They suck the juices from grass plants, causing circular patches of dead grass in the lawn. The damage appears in the fall, and damaged areas won't recover until the grass begins to grow again in the spring.

Thanks for being such an encourager to my journey ... and it's been such a pleasure to be with you later in the FWS and through the PC. Now for us all to get our PC's finished!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
One more border for my Easy Street Quilt, and I will be pulling out one of my PC Quilts to put on the display wall! I have the sashing and cornerstones for the Pony Quilt, so will start with that one first. I plan to piece the back of that quilt with all the extra pony fabric in a collage on the back.
"You have enough quilts made when your soul is filled, your creativity satisfied and your fingers just won't work anymore."
Thank you Ladies. For the inspiration.
You're quilts are so Beautiful!!
Words alone cannot convey the feelings
your hard work, creativity and inspiration
have inspired. I do hope that I can get
my own blocks finished. =)
That's a good idea Jeanie...I have some fabric I never even used...how are you going to piece it??? crazy quilt blocks???
QNS, what color is the sashing ? ... I've been trying to find a dark charcoal gray and have not been successful...

My friend gave me two 15" x 15" horse pieces from a panel. I plan to somehow cut my remaining horse fabrics into shapes and work from the 15 X 15 pieces out. I don't know what size quilt I will have yet, have not seen the PC Pony quilt pieces in a while - don't even know how many I have! LOL
We are going out with our camping group next week, so will get the PC Pony squares out when I get home. Gee maybe my BB will be here when I get back!
"You have enough quilts made when your soul is filled, your creativity satisfied and your fingers just won't work anymore."
Honchey, it was a dark charcoal grey/black which I ran out of so the corner on one side did change from what was used in the rest of it. And I did not learn my lesson and the same happened on the PC quilt...last 35 blocks will have different fabric 'cause I could not get any more RK fusion mustard yellow fabric. So be it.
Hi Nina, do you want me to check out the quilt shops here for the yellow you need??? I could go tomorrow afternoon..some of the shops carry the fusion..I could call to find out for you....

Publisher: Majesco Games
Developer: GlyphX Games
Platforms: Xbox, PC
Genre: 3rd person, action/adventure
Release Date: 2004
Advent Rising is the first in an epic trilogy of action/adventure
games, presented in a stunning cinematic format to deliver an unprecedented
variety of game play experiences. Built on the Unreal Warfare engine,
it offers precise, refined play-dynamics with action-packed adventure
and style, wrapped in a visually imaginative universe. Advent is akin
to a fast-paced action movie where the player is swept up in a continuously
evolving series of sequences and events.
Working with award-winning science fiction author Orson Scott Card,
GlyphX Games has created a gripping storyline that will thrust gamers
and readers alike into an incredible intergalactic saga. In Advent
Rising, players make decisions that effect not only what they experience
in the first game, but the entire Advent trilogy.
In Advent Rising, a common legend pervades the galaxy—that of a powerful,
highly intelligent ancient race that will one day deliver the universe.
They are known simply as Humans.
Some claim them to be the messiah, believing they will one day come
to deliver the universe into harmony. Some simply see them as a symbol
for eternal hope. Others see them as purely fantastical creatures existing
only in the imaginations and storybooks of the young.
The Seekers, however, know that Humans truly do exist and see them
as an enemy that must be destroyed. Under the guise of benevolent explorers
they comb the universe and eradicate any Human colonies they find.
Until now.
This year, gamers find out what it means to be truly Human.
Game Play Features:
An unprecedented single-player gameplay that allows gamers
to play through the thrilling action sequences of a blockbuster movie
or game, rather than just watch them;

SAN MATEO — The thrilling tale of two bald eagles that made a historic mating attempt last year at a reservoir in San Mateo County has turned into a mystery.
The eagles returned this winter to examine the nest they'd built in a tree on the western edge of Lower Crystal Springs Reservoir. That's the only thing local bird watchers know for certain — or almost certain.
But the pair of birds left the nest sometime around January, leaving questions fluttering behind them. Are they still in the forested watershed surrounding the lakes? And if so, did they make a nest in another tree?
Several members of the local Sequoia Audubon Society and two watershed workers say a few bald eagles — two adults and a large juvenile — have been spotted flying above the reservoir in recent months, making it likely that the mating pair stayed in the Peninsula Watershed.
Whether they nested somewhere else remains unknown — most of the mountainous watershed is closed to the public. The property, located west of Interstate 280 in unincorporated San Mateo County, is patrolled by a small number of watershed keepers.
"They may have another nest site, and they may not," said Sarah Lenz, one of the watershed keepers and an avid bird watcher. But, she added, "The fact that they're using this 23,000-acre watershed as their homestead site is wonderful for the county and all the people here."
Life partners
The arrival of the eagles at the reservoir in 2012 was celebrated as the latest sign of the bird's resurgence in the Bay Area, part of a national recovery that has seen the American icon removed from the federal endangered species list. Bald eagles had not been recorded nesting in San Mateo County since 1915.
Like many young eagles, however, this raptor couple failed to reproduce. They departed the nest, and the region, in early spring 2012.
When two eagles were spotted at the nest in a Douglas fir again this past December, birders presumed it was the same duo, since bald eagles mate for life and typically return to the same nesting territory year after year.
No one's sure why the eagles abandoned the nest so early in this year's breeding season. One theory is they were bothered by nearby human activity. Or perhaps they felt the tree branches supporting the nest weren't sturdy enough.
Eagles often stick with the same nest for years, but if they grow dissatisfied with it, they will build a new one. Bob Power, head of the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, said a bald eagle pair at the Calaveras Reservoir has moved its nest twice in the past two years, from a transmission tower to a succession of oak trees.
It's conceivable the Crystal Spring eagles constructed another nest that watershed keepers simply haven't found, said Power, who is familiar with the Peninsula Watershed. He helped plan a trail that provides some of the only public access to the property.
"There are so many old Douglas firs in that watershed," Power said. "I think you could disappear into that forest pretty quickly."
Did they nest?
It's now late in the breeding season, bird watchers say, so if the eagles made another nest and managed to lay eggs, they probably hatched in the past few weeks. Baby eagles spend the first three months or so of their life in the nest.
Several birders and experts cast doubt on the theory of a second nest, however, arguing there would have been regular sightings of the birds flying with nesting material or food for their young.
It's possible the eagles decided not to mate this year if they sensed prey was not abundant, said Allen Fish, director of the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory. Caught and scavenged fish make up a good chunk of the bald eagle's diet, along with other birds and small mammals.
Tim Sullivan, a watershed keeper, said reservoir levels were lowered last year to accommodate construction work beneath the surface of the reservoir, which is part of the Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System. That meant fish such as carp, bass and trout were easier to catch. The water levels are higher now, he said.
Though the status of the Crystal Springs eagles is unclear, bald eagles generally seem to be discovering that Bay Area reservoirs, established over the past century to support the region's increasing demand for water, are ideal habitat. Some, like Crystal Springs, are sealed off to the public. Others are stocked for recreational fishing.
There are now 26 nesting pairs of bald eagles on the Central Coast, according to Glenn Stewart, director of the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group. Six of them make their home at East Bay reservoirs, said Doug Bell, wildlife program manager for the East Bay Regional Park District.
"We created this new habitat for them and they're now taking advantage of it, spectacularly in fact," Bell said. "It's kind of like that old adage; build it and they will come."

Storms and Bright Skies: Three Centuries of Dutch Landscapes
07 Sep 2013 - 11 Nov 2013
Burnaby Art Gallery, BC
Both harbinger of danger and symbol of pride, the Dutch landscape and its typical motifs, such as the canals that criss-cross the country and the windmill, have been a source of infinite inspiration for the Dutch artists who have captured their essence and character over the centuries. With over sixty works on paper from the collection of the National Gallery of Canada,Storms and Bright Skies: Three Centuries of Dutch Landscapes explores the emergence of the Dutch landscape tradition in the early 17th century, its blossoming during the Golden Age, and its extension into the 18th and 19th centuries. Some of the greatest Dutch artists, such as Jan van Goyen, Jacob van Ruisdael and Rembrandt – represented in the exhibition with four of his famous etchings – brilliantly contributed to the rise of landscape as a full-blown pictorial genre. These developments were to influence the course of art history in the Netherlands.

Term: Qabala
"Qabalah" is a Hebrew word that means "tradition." It is derived from the root word "Qibel," meaning, "to receive." This refers to the ancient custom of handing down the esoteric knowledge by oral transmission. What the word Qabalah encompasses is an entire body of ancient Hebrew mystical principles that are the cornerstone and focus of the Western Esoteric Tradition. Virtually all Western spiritual systems can trace their roots to the Qabalistic Tree of Life. The exact origins of the Qabalah are unclear, but it certainly contains some vestiges of Egyptian, Greek, and Chaldean influence.
By its nature, mysticism is knowledge that cannot be communicated directly, but may be expressed only through symbolism and metaphor. Like other esoteric systems, Qabalah also draws upon the mystic's awareness of the transcendence of the Divine or the Eternal. Another element of Qabalah is that of theosophy, which seeks to reveal the hidden mysteries of the Divine as well as the relationship between the Divine Life on one hand, and the life of humans on the other. The goal of the Qabalist is to discover and invent keys to the understanding of arcane symbols that reflect the eternal mysteries.
source: The Truth about the Golden Dawn, Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero
Cabala: Cabala...is a system of mysticism with its origins in Judaism, stemming in part from the "chariot" visions of first-century mystics, in part from Gnosticism and Neoplatonism, in part from the theological speculations of medieval Spanish Jews, and in part from later thinkers. For many centuries, cabala was the accepted form of mysticism and theology within Judaism, but for the most part it has now fallen out of favor in religious contexts. Nevertheless, many rabbis and Jewish scholars still take an interest in it. As a philosophy and as a way of looking at God and the universe, it survives in yet wider quarters. Especially in the form developed by Christian enthusiasts in the Italian Renaissance and by 19th-century Christian and pagan occultists, cabalism retains vast importance as the key to mystical thinking outside of the mainstream and to the practice of ceremonial magic.
source: The Truth About Cabala, David Godwin
Kabbalah: A mystical system which forms the mystical underpinnings for the three major Western religions as well as for modern Ceremonial Magick. The word is transliterated Hebrew, and is spelled in English in various ways, including Qabala, Cabala, etc.
source: Modern Magick, by Donald Michael Kraig
Also spelled Qabalah, Cabala, Cabbala, and even Quabala, the Kabbalah is a complete system of knowledge about all the dimensions of the universe and of the human psyche organized into "the Tree of Life" diagram showing the inner construction and the connections between levels and forms of consciousness, energy, and matter. It provides a resource for understanding and applying the principles of Magick, for understanding the dynamics of the psyche, and for interpreting human history and action. The present-day Tarot specifically relates to the Tree of Life.

Wow man , not bad at all! Great job.
Looks great. The more I look at all these beautiful paintjobs that keep popping up the more I realize I'm going to need to commission a paint job for my stuff.
Great job on the sharp detail. It looks great. The only thing I'd change is the right ear color to the floquil "Earth". #FLOF110081
Looks pretty good for a first paint and I agree about the right ear being a bit dark and as Sleepalot suggested, you might try to correct it with that color. You did a great job!
the "earth" floquil look too light I added orange to darken it. Might have gone too heavy..but again..first time mixing colors. Next bucket will be closer
Any advise is welcomed, this being my first attempt, I knew it would be a learning experience. I have another CC Asok that Im going to paint ESB too. Im meeting Bulloch in june and having him sign this one. Ill nail it next time.
Great job for your first bucket! You did MUCH better on your back panels than I did, that's for sure. I agree about the one ear, but nevertheless it is a primo paint job. I can't wait to see your next one!

Lightning split with Cuyuna, Fort Ripley
The host Nisswa Lightning split a pair of Victory League North division games on Sunday, June 30 - defeating the Cuyuna Miners 19-1 and then falling to the Fort Ripley Rebels 7-4.
The Lightning, 10-6 overall, is scheduled to host St. Mathias at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 6, and play at Avon at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 7.
Lightning 19, Cuyuna 1
In Sunday's first game, Nisswa assumed a quick 16-1 lead after three innings after Cuyuna opened the scoring with an unearned run in the top of the first.
"We came out swinging and had a solid start to the game," said player/manager Aaron Jenkins, whose team scored 22 runs in beating Opole on Saturday. "We had 38 runs over a stretch of 10 innings."
Jason Roepke homered and scored four runs while Pequot Lakes graduate Tyler Wittwer drilled a two-run homer in the sixth inning. Morgan Shepherd drove in three runs while Drew Boland, Luke Schumer, Bronson Shepherd, Mike Zauhar and Mark Germain had two hits.
Adam Hardy had three hits while Boland, Jake Mehr and Brett Jenkins had two. Winner Brett Cloutier allowed one hit in four innings and Kyle Schaible allowed one hit in three innings.
Fort Ripley 7, Lightning 4
In Sunday's second game, Nisswa led 2-0 after Roepke's two-run homer. That lead lasted until the fourth when the Rebels tied it 2-2. Fort Ripley moved ahead 3-2 with three straight singles in the fifth and then extended the lead to four runs following a three-run homer by Brett Kramer. Nisswa cut the deficit to 6-4 with a pair of runs in the sixth before the Rebels added a final run in the eighth.
Fort Ripley enjoyed a 14-9 edge in hits as Nick Jelaci was 4-for-5 and Robby Veith had three hits. Roepke and Wittwer each had two hits while Boland and Hardy both doubled.
Fort Ripley improved to 7-3 in division play while Nisswa dropped to 7-4.
Lightning 22, Opole 3
On Saturday, June 29, Nisswa defeated the Bears by pounding out six homers and 25 hits in a makeup game from earlier in the season. The Lightning scored in every inning, including plating five runs in both the third and fifth innings.
Drew Boland drilled a pair of homers while Morgan and Bronson Shepherd, Aaron Jenkins and Whittwer each had one home run. Boland, who also drove in five runs, joined Luke Schumer and Wittwer who all had four hits. Bronson Shepherd and Aaron and Bret Jenkins each had three hits. Lincoln Messner allowed nine hits while pitching all seven innings for Nisswa to earn the win.

I am dreaming of my own small pizza oven here in Bavaria but am nervious about neighbours complaining about smoke and whatever.
If one has a small oven how long does the fire remain inside before one cooks one's pizza? Does the smoke cause any nuisance to others nearby? Also how hot does the fire get inside? Can the heat damage trees nearby?
Hi Jeremy, Mine smokes for about 1/2hr gradually getting less, by the time 3/4 of an hr is up, the fire inside is so hot, that all you get coming out the chimney is a superheated haze, no smoke whatsoever! it will begin to smoke temporarily if you load more wood into it, but as long as you load a log at a time, it goes back to non-smoke within about 5 mins.
I built mine right next to a tree, and although the oven itself doesnt get hot at all outside, the heat haze from the chimney did scorch the branches I left overhanging; easily sorted though; just cut the branches back a bit

Re: Wood Fired Pizza Oven
I have to say to all the builders......wow.
I am almost afraid to say that I want to build one here in Alberta, Canada. I have the platform built and it has now settled over the winter so I am ready to start the building the base for the bakeoven and the firepit and prep area.
I am using recycled materials as much as possible for all the projects in my garden and have managed to get all the pieces gathered together over the last year I have piles of stone, marble, bricks, etc all over the yard and will be very happy when it is all in one pile with smoke coming out of it. I contacted our town office to make sure that there were no bylaws against a outdoor oven and then just used the ones that govern firepits...makes sence since I am putting a spit, barbeque rack in the firepit part of this project. I have 5 guys in my house and the thought of being able to put a whole small animal or bird over flames and turn a spit to cook it just speaks to the latent cave man in all of them.
I have been looking at all of the pictures of the finished projects and they are to say the least spectacular and all of them are out of bricks and cement......has anyone built with cob?? Is there a reason you chose brick as opposed to cob?? I love the idea of cob, the carvability(?) and the organic look of the whole thing when it is done. I have heard that the cob takes a bit longer to heat but holds it for a long time after which is a good thing because I would like to do more than just a pizza or two in it. I want it for pizza, bread, roasts, etc where you fire once and then use it for the day or am I asking too much of the technology or am I right it all has to do with thermal mass and if I have the mass I get to keep the heat.....I have been told that a 18 inch dome is about the optimum size....is that small??
The project has to be finished over the next couple of months since I am hoping to have a margaritas and mud party to stomp the cob and get the actual dome built with some friends...team building, community building kick off to summer that sort of thing. ....good excuse to drink margaritas on a midsummer's eve.
After seeing the absolutely gorgeous ovens that have been built by you gentleman I almost thought about bailing on the whole project but I have this huge platform in the backyard that is waiting for it's oven......so instead I will just smile sweetly and say please.
cheers all

Re: Wood Fired Pizza Oven
Update on my second Pompeii build.....
Since last Saturday we have made 3 small curing fires each day.....Tuesday we started upping the tempo to fires that started lapping around the dome of the oven. Since yesterday 11/08/11 we have been pushing the fires to over 350c...today the temp is pushing towards 450c. Tomorrow will be the oven's first trial, where we will be taking the temp to 500c (ish)....to allow the hearth and dome to regulate itself and hold that heat. We will then let the oven fall in temp to about 350/400c before we start our trials on pizza baking.
I have made 3 different pizza doughs .....2 are in my fridge...slowly fermenting and the 3rd is in the freezer, which will be taken out 2/3 hours before shaping.
I will be making a fourth pizza dough this evening from a recipe I received from a Polish chap who works in my local Bakers.
I shall also be making a small batch of Naan bread dough from Madhur Jaffrays recipe to try out in the new Pizza/Bread oven.....If anybody is interested in this post ....who has a pizza dough recipe.....please let me know as I have 24hrs ...and all the ingredients to trial a new pizza dough recipe.
