This is our sixty-seventh election in this project. The entire rules follow.
This election will end at 11:59:59 PM EDT on July 15, 2011
The prior election, and the ballots of the 2001 voters, are in this thread
Seen on a bumper sticker: If only closed minds came with closed mouths.
Some minds are like concrete--thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
A Lincoln: I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
1) All BBF users in good standing may participate. However, if there is more than one vote being cast from any one computer or IP, it must be cleared in advance. Should there be unannounced multiple votes from the same IP, I will investigate the circumstances, and all user names involved may be barred from this project as a result, and all but one of the multiple usernames permanently banned from the site. I only anticipate exceptions for family members living in the same home, but I will entertain requests on other bases. Please note that I and the other mods who participate in the project have the capability of determining the IP from which posts come, and I for one intend to monitor same. I have had to deal with a single user manipulating a project with multiple votes, and I don't intend to repeat the experience.
2) Elections will require a 10 voter quorum. If we do not get ten voters and there are candidate(s) who would be elected no matter what the voters needed to make a quorum did, those candidate(s) will be inducted. Otherwise, no one will be inducted. Further, if we fail to elect a full complement of candidates for the ballot in question in two of any four consecutive elections, the portion(s) of the project failing to meet the election requirement will end. If, for instance, we're doing fine on the player end but not the contributor end, I would drop the contributor end under this rule.
3) We will start in 1936, just as Cooperstown did. For the first election (1936), voters will rank their top 20, taking 10. After that we will go to having voters rank their top 12 players. Points awarded 12-11-10, etc. We will take the top five through 1940, then top three players per year elected until 2010, then two per year. If a voter does not number his selections, I will try to get him/her to do so. If they do not do so before the end of the election period, I may in my sole discretion invalidate the ballot. I have included this provision in order to ease the process of recording the votes. On another point, I know, the 1936 backlog is huge--but that was a historical issue they couldn't avoid, so neither will we.
4) We will also have a contributor ballot, which will elect one a year through 1985, then one every three (3) years. Contributors will be ranked 1 through 5, with points awarded 5-4-3-2-1. Voters may choose to participate in either one of the ballots or both.
5) It is permissible to vote for a candidate on both the contributor and player lists.
6) You are allowed to change your ballot at any time the voting is open. However, if you change your ballot, you've got to notify me (jalbright) by PM or by a new post in the voting thread, or the changes likely will not be registered.
7) Players are eligible at the later of age 45 or the first year thereafter in which the player does not play. If the birthdate is not known, add five years to the first time the player misses a season and has less than 10 games the next season. There is an exception for early death, in which case the year of death plus two will be used if that yields an earlier date.
8) Contributors become eligible at age 65 or in the year of death plus two. whichever comes first.
9) Each election will run for approximately two weeks unless expressly altered by the project manager, contributors and players done simultaneously.
10) No one is excluded from being a candidate, regardless of the league they played in, except those elected in either the contributor or player ballots. At that point, they are removed from further consideration. If there are players who returned to the Negro Leagues or Japan after going to the majors, the departure from the majors will be their career end date for purposes of this project.
11) The standard for including a player on one's ballot is that the player must in the voter's opinion be among the very best eligible players (preferably the number voted on, but if a voter wishes to support someone they feel is 15th in a 12 person ballot instead of one of the top 12, it's too close for anyone to reasonably object. On the other hand, supporting the 25th best eligible candidate on a 12 person ballot is probably beyond the pale). I reserve the power to invalidate ballots which I do not feel are a reasonably knowledgeable, good faith effort to rank the players. One issue I am quite concerned about is that I do not want to see what clearly appear to be attempts to manipulate the ballot so as to elect a candidate. In isolation, I probably could live with this, but if it became a widely used tactic, the project would devolve into something I have no desire to be associated with. Moreover, I think that this position asks everyone else to cast legitimate votes so that you can manipulate the system to favor your pet candidates. I cannot accept that, as it strikes me as unfair to other voters. For example, you can't expect to favor even a legitimate HOF candidate like Bill Dahlen over Babe Ruth to get Dahlen elected without being asked to provide a reasonable justification for ranking Dahlen over Ruth. If you can provide a reasonable justification in that scenario, the ballot will stand. If not, you will be asked to make a change. I realize voters will sometimes have idiosyncratic choices, and I try to allow for that. However, a clear flouting of a consensus is apt to be met with a request that the ballot be justified pursuant to this rule. Certainly, a reasonable justification does not indicate in essence simply that you want Dahlen elected. Furthermore, if I invalidate multiple ballots by the same individual as failing to meet this rule, that individual will forever lose the right to have his/her ballots counted. Voters are encouraged to consider character, sportsmanship, and compliance with the rules and spirit of baseball in their rankings of players.
12) I will post lists of eligible players and contributors before each election. If you have a question about the eligibility of a candidate, please ask. I will provide a list of future eligibility dates as well.
13) My eligibility lists come from all persons in the BBF HOF, BBTF Hall of Merit, and Cooperstown, plus all persons getting a vote in a BBF HOF election in the past year and a half or in a BBWAA election. This is a relatively comprehensive list, and thus I must request that if you want another candidate included, you provide some justification for why said candidate is worthy of getting a vote in this project. The main area I think this might come into play is if a voter supports a person who was eligible for the final selections from the recent pre WWII or Negro League committees but not on my master list. That fact alone would serve as ample justification for putting said candidate on the list. We may learn more about Cuban ball or what have you and thus include others after a case is made for them, however. The contributor list is undoubtedly not as comprehensive, and this fact will be taken into consideration. For players, any request for a multiple time all-star in the all-star era will be approved. Players of that quality will generally be approved without much ado. However, when a player lacks that kind of qualification, I will likely ask for you to get a second from among our voters via a post in the current election thread. When in doubt, I will also require a second for suggested contributors. If a second is forthcoming, the player will be added. If not, the request will be rejected. I want to limit requests and seconds to players or contributors you actually might vote for.
14) Other than the sportsmanship and character issues, players are to be evaluated solely upon their play. I would prefer that if a player is qualified by his play standing alone that he be elected on that basis. However, a candidate may only be elected either as a contributor or a player, but not both. Contributors are the area where the entire body of work during his career in the sport, including his play, managing, scouting, executive, writing, broadcasting or other work in the sport is relevant. Contributors are to be ranked based on who the voter thinks is most worthy of induction into the Contributor group in this project.
15) Any ballot with two (2) or more spots unfilled with eligible candidates is invalid. In the event of the listing of ineligible names, I will try to notify the voter so that he/she can correct the ballot before the end of the voting period. If the change is made timely, it will count. If not, and there are two or more invalid names, the ballot will not be considered valid. If there is only one, the ineligible name will be stricken and all names after it on the affected ballot will be moved up one spot.
16) Any players listed beyond the 12th place for any ballot but the first (in which case it is 20th place) will be ignored. If more than one person is listed as tied for the last available place and the ballot is oversize, all names will be dropped, which may lead to the invalidation of the ballot.
17) Ties are not permitted in ballot listings. I reserve the right to invalidate ballots for use of ties in the rankings, be it within a single ballot or over the course of several ballots. If the voter does not correct such a listing voluntarily, except in the case of an oversize ballot tie for the last eligible place, if do not invalidate the ballot, I will choose the placement of the two "tied" candidates, generally preferring the candidate preferred by the other voters.
18) For any ties between candidates straddling the in/out line of selections, the first thing considered is the ranking of the candidates by the ballots cast. If there are more than two candidates tied, use a 2-1-0 or whatever is appropriate for the number of players tied system. If a voter does not list a candidate, he receives zero points in the tiebreaker procedure. Once one person separates from the tied group, restart with the remaining candidates until there are only as many candidates as the rules call for being elected. If they remain tied after this process, the candidate with the most votes received wins. If it is still tied after that, those with the most #1 votes as the next step, then the most #2 votes and so on to see if that breaks the tie. If not, we will induct all candidates who remain tied at that point.
19) One thing we're going to have to be aware of is the timeline in the case of at least a few contributors. Two which jump out at me are Buck O'Neill, 1976, and Branch Rickey, 1946. I intend to eventually vote for both men, but in 1946, Jackie Robinson was still in Montreal. Really, Branch should wait until at least 1947 after Jackie's success in the majors to get credit for that move. If you think Rickey belongs in the top 5 in 1946 without his role in breaking the color line, that's fine--but he shouldn't get credit for that important success until it actually happened. Buck O'Neill did some important things up until 1976, but after that he was in Ken Burns' Baseball and he was instrumental in the establishment of the Negro Leagues Hall of Fame (both occurred in or around 1994). If you think he belongs based on accomplishments before those two things, that's perfectly acceptable, but please don't credit him with them before they actually happened.
20) I will maintain a thread of the project's history and rules which will provide a listing of all elected candidates.
21) Feel free to ask questions by either sending jalbright a PM, or by posting a question in voting thread

Lou Whitaker goes to the second spot on the ballot, and Hugh Duffy returns (again) in 11th, and Tony Mullane fills out the ballot in 12th. As for the contributors, George Steinbrenner joins the list, leaving Murnane in my contributor queue. It's 2002, and the Torre-managed juggernaut has done well for King George. I do not like the man, but his impact is undeniable, and I'm running out of alternatives I can say are comparable.

Maranville was getting no support, so he returns to my queue. Added this year are Lou Whitaker in the #3 slot, Lou Brock in the #8 slot who has been getting his share of support and who I planned on adding when I had room, and Quincy Trouppe and Dwight Evans in slots 11 and 12.
I agree with JW's excellent writeup about contributors in general that there are several standouts as umpires that are not getting enough support. I have 3 I plan on adding when I have the room, but they will all have to wait at least 2 elections since George Steinbrenner is 1st in my queue.
Contributor queue: George Steinbrenner, Pat Gillick, Billy Martin, Shigeru Mizuhara, Jocko Conlan, Billy Evans, Cal Hubbard, Lefty O'Doul
Player queue: Dale Murphy, Cupid Childs, Wally Schang, Hardy Richardson, Charley Jones, Bill Freehan, Jake Beckley, Sam Rice, Lip Pike, Thurman Munson, Rabbit Maranville

jjpm74 - I largely agree with your rankings, or believe your system is quite good, but maybe I am missing the boat on Lou Brock.
What is it about his profile that makes him ballot worthy to you? He's not close by WAR's analysis, although he's pretty good by straight Win Shares, and he's alright but not overwhelming by Win Shares Above Bench. Thanks for helping me on this 3000 hit club member.
I urge everyone to take a quick look at my #1 contributor Johnny Pesky. You all may wonder why my support is so strong for this candidate, as no one else is in his corner. I think Pesky has enough merit on the player side to be ballot worthy (In the 7-12 range).
Comments from the Hall of Merit 2010 Ballot thread:
"Bookending WWII, Pesky put up MVP type seasons. He throws in three more all-star type seasons, with a couple of above filler campaigns. Conservative WWII credit would give him an additional MVP type season, and two more all-star type seasons. That's eight excellent seasons, with at least three MVP type campaigns. An electee with War Credit only."
Mulder and Scully:
"A great peak and prime. Yes, a good deal of his case depends on World War II credit, but I don't give a straight average. 6 years over 5 WARP and most near 7 or over, including one over 8. 4 All-Stars and 5 Gold Gloves by WARP."
Dan Rosenheck:
"I still think he's the new Charlie Keller...or, if you prefer, Hughie Jennings. Outstanding years immediately before and after the war, and also played 1941 in the minors at a high major league All-Star level (I don't give him minor league credit for that year, but it does strengthen the case for the quality of his war credit). Then added just enough post-integration to get over the hump."

Another down year gives me room to add two newbies, so say hello to Quincy Trouppe and Dwight Evans. Lee Smith makes the queue and will likely see his name soon. Dave Steib makes the queue but likely won't; he's around names like Eddie Cicotte and Virgil Trucks. Tom Henke falls in between Dan Quisenberry and Kent Tekulve among relievers.

Bob Howsam finally makes my ballot, and I bumped him above Neft so that he may stay there. There are about ten other names I'm looking at for what will likely be about five spots. There are some names I'd like to vote for that I won't get to.
We've got a quorum on the player side. However, we're one short on the contributor side, with four candidates within three points of the lead. That means another vote is required.

Not 100% the movie that Wolverine fans will have their hearts set on, but definitely pretty good.
Tag Archives: Reviews
The Conjuring
Frightening, well acted and well directed, "The Conjuring" is the Haunted House movie that horror fans have been waiting for. It skillfully savors the slight chills in the early going, then indulges in some outright jump in your seat moments before heading into the no holds barred ending.
This is a movie that is certain to be discussed as one of the best of the year, and likely to claim a spot in the discussion of all time great haunted house movies in years to come.
Dreamworks Animation's latest offering is the story of a snail who dreams of being fast enough to race. Through a freak accident, he's empowered with speed that allows him to do just that.
It's a bit of a strange choice for a feature, but DreamWorks is talented enough to turn the story into a mildly entertaining animated film.
Red 2
A genuinely funny revisitation of everybody's favorite retired CIA agents.
Recycled, Inane, Pathetic and Dumb.
Pacific Rim
Giant robots fight giant monsters for the fate of the world in the latest offering from Guillermo del Toro ("Hellboy", "Pan's Labyrinth"). Featuring incredible special effects, a fantastic premise, and fun, colorful (albeit goofy) characters, "Pacific Rim" is a summer spectacular well worth catching on the big screen.
Grown Ups 2
The Lone Ranger
A modern, big-budget version of "The Lone Ranger" starring Johnny Depp was always a strange proposition. The property had long been dormant, even though the name still carries recognition. Johnny Depp is also not the first person you'd think of to play a Native American, either, in spite of his questionable claims of Cherokee heritage. Then production woes set in, with major budget revisions and release date shuffling.
And indeed, the resulting film is strange. For a big budget spectacle movie, it's quirky, long and offbeat. The titular character is more of a punching bag for jokes than an actual hero, the villains are outright old-timey mustache twirlers, and the sidekick is the star of the show.
Yet it's certainly not without its charms and entertainment value. Patient viewers (and those that latch on to Depp's odd, humorous Tonto) will be rewarded with a funny, fun summer action film.
Reader's Recommendations: "Silent Running"
Hey everyone, it's Friday, time for another entry in the Reader Recommendations series!
The Reader Recommendation series is intended to help me formally pursue all the great films that commenters bring up each week in discussion which I've never seen. If there's a movie that comes up that I haven't seen, but you think I should, email me @ firstname.lastname@example.com or let me know in the comments that you'd like to participate!
This week, our recommendation comes from Urbannight, of Urbannight's Blog, who's recommended the 1972 film "Silent Running". I had heard of "Silent Running", especially the robots, but had never seen it, so I'm looking forward to checking it out!
Click through to see what we had to say!
Despicable Me 2
Three years ago, the original "Despicable Me" took everyone by surprise by offering a film with comically inept, soft-hearted villain who was slowly won over by three children. Now Gru, his family and his minions are back, only this time, he's working for the good guys and finds himself facing romantic entanglements as well.
It's an entertaining summer film, but in spite of its best efforts, it can't live up to the magic of the original.

I have 3 hives, two of which seem to be good and strong. The third seems to be stagnating, but I'm not sure what to do. I saw the queen a week ago, but couldn't find her today (but i assume she's in there), and the brood pattern is very spotty. They're in 3 medium 10-frame boxes, but the third box is virtually unused. I took a bunch of pictures today, and was hoping for feedback. Do I need to requeen? Do you see anything that looks concerning aside from the lack of activity?

Your Fort Needs You! - Friday, 18 November 2011
Be part of history by volunteering at historic Fort Nelson this autumn and help the Royal Armouries showcase the national collection of big guns.
From teenagers to retired people – and carpenters to handicrafts helpers – the Victorian Fort is recruiting an army of volunteers to help provide an even better service to the thousands who visit every year.
Fort Nelson's Volunteers Co-ordinator Kirstine Impey said, "We have several different volunteer roles that will appeal to a wide variety of people. Many of our volunteers help out in the new galleries, talking to visitors about the exhibits and pointing them in the right direction for the visitor centre, gun firings and activities.
"There's also the chance to assist the education team with their school visits during term-time, and also to help with arts and crafts activities during the holidays. Some of our volunteers had a great time at Halloween, helping to run the activities. One of them, Jade Gratton, even arrived as a witch, which went down a storm with the children."
Jade, 22, from Leigh Park, Hampshire, said, "I love history so I am really enjoying volunteering here. I had a great time helping the education team at Halloween, and also during the launch of the new education sessions."
Jade is pictured with fellow volunteer, Alex Fagg, 25, in the photograph.
People interested in volunteering, should have between two to four hours to spare at a time. Some volunteers come in weekly, whereas others help out on a regular but less frequent basis.
All volunteers must be aged over 16, and be prepared to undertake some checks, including Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) screening if necessary.
Travel expenses will be reimbursed, and the volunteer will be supplied with a blouse/shirt and jumper bearing the Royal Armouries' logo.
For more information, please pick up a volunteer recruitment form from Fort Nelson's visitor centre or contact Kirstine.

New 177bhp 1.6 litre engine for the Astra - from Auto Express:That's because flagship versions of the compact family hatchback get the manufacturer's latest 1.6-litre turbocharged engine – a unit that already takes a starring role in the Corsa VXR and is set to appear in the forthcoming all-new Vectra in 2008. Replacing the old Astra's 170bhp and 200bhp 2.0-litre turbo powerplants, the new engine pumps out a healthy 177bhp and a useful 230Nm of torque. It's mated to a six-speed manual gearbox as standard. Completing the benchmark sprint from 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds, and accelerating on to a maximum speed of 137mph, the newcomer is quicker than the outgoing 170bhp car (which covered 0-60mph in 8.1 seconds). It's nearly as fast as the 200bhp variant (7.7 seconds), and has enough pace at its disposal to keep up with today's hottest hatches. But the figures alone can't do the new engine justice, as one of its most impressive features is its power delivery. The strong low-down urge continues throughout the rev range, making for rapid progress and easy overtaking. It's also commendably smooth, and quiet at motorway speeds. You would expect there to be a price to pay for this performance – both at the fuel pumps and in terms of emissions. But the new 1.6-litre manages to be more economical and cleaner than the previous 170bhp 2.0, returning 36.7mpg on the combined cycle (up 6mpg) and cutting CO2 output from 216g/km to 185g/km. That would save company drivers as much as £758 a year in benefit-in-kind tax, and private buyers would also see their road fund licence fee drop from £190 to £150. Yet while the new engine is powerful, frugal and clean, most customers – whether business or retail – would be better off with the 150bhp 1.9-litre CDTI turbodiesel Astra instead. As well as the turbo, the revised Astra is offered with an updated 1.6-litre Twinport petrol powerplant. This benefits from a power hike, taking it from 105bhp to 115bhp. Visual changes have been kept to a minimum, though. There are new lights all-round and a restyled front bumper, while inside you get a choice of piano black or matt chrome trim. The driving experience is as good as ever, with a firm but well controlled ride, excellent agility and accurate steering – although it's not as sharp as the set-up in Ford's Focus. Prices haven't changed drastically, either. The new 1.6-litre Turbo is only £220 more than the old 2.0, while other models rise see an increase of a mere £15. It all adds up to an even better package than before.
Wish we got this as the base Aura engine instead of the pushrod 3.5. That belongs in the Malibu.
That diesel looks sweet.

Talk about an elevated site. This family residence perches 10 stories above Manhattan's Upper East Side, on the roof of a historic 1908 apartment house. Occupying space once given over to ramshackle maid's quarters, the new glass-walled modern pavilion is hidden from the street by the building's high parapet wall, but offers distant views of the East River and up Madison Avenue. Architect Marc B. Spector organized the apartment's plan around a large, open atrium, directing activity and attention toward the unit's perimeter. "There's a 4,000-square-foot terrace that wraps around the apartment," Spector notes. "The view is toward the north and east, where the parapet doesn't wrap," but the old structure yields both sheltered outdoor space and historical interest.
Inside, the apartment brings the urbanity of a modernist pied-à-terre to the task of housing a family with young children. Limestone tiles in a running bond pattern line the floor, and large white marble slabs grace the kitchen and baths. Obscure glass and custom glass blocks admit atrium light while screening views from the apartments below. The jury praised the project's embrace of the rooftop's rough edges "as wallpaper," calling the effort as a whole "very creative and very resourceful. In terms of sustainability and reclaiming space, it's a significant statement. To be able to envision that crude space with this finessed little box is incredible."

I just painted my armor parts silver with my airbrush, but when I'm done I see that tiny dustparticles have stuck to the paint.
Do you guys do anything about this, or just live with it?
I just painted my armor parts silver with my airbrush, but when I'm done I see that tiny dustparticles have stuck to the paint.
Do you guys do anything about this, or just live with it?
Hmm.. try mixing the paint with T-röd or similar. (if acrylics). The alcahol will make the water evaporate faster and hence.. the paint will dry faster too..
Also.. if it's not that much the next layer of paint will probably even out the paint job..
Other than that.. Have you tried cleaning the house?
rofl boba swede
I noticed this when I repainted my TK bucket. Not so much with the colour bits but when I applied the clear coat/lacquer bit.
With more painting to do in the near future, I am wondering if I will have to build a little paint box to put my items in
I'm using Humbrol enamel paints BTW.
I was thinking maybe using some 1200 (or finer grit) wetsanding on it, but I'm afraid that might just make it too dull. I might just try to live withn it, depends on how the next coats of green turn out though.
It's not much though, but you see it if you get close to it and it's fairly light in the room. My guess is that with all the layers going on it, it might get covered up. more or less.
The worst is getting the paint all applied and looking good,and a darn bug lands right on it.lolol...the hazards of outside painting.lol
I know exactly what you mean. The mosquitos love to do it when I'm done and clear coating.
put a plastic container over the object while it dries. The static electricity will grasp the dust before it gets to your prop.
Hang your pieces up. The dust settles on everything. That what I would do with my model cars.
Oh, and another thing. I've tried searching, but without finding it. When doing the layers, do you skip the yellow and paint it with a brush after the green or do you also do a complete layer of yellow with masking etc?
Ok. Thanks!
That´s what I initially thought about doing as well

(sterile ticarcillin disodium and clavulanate potassium) for Intravenous Administration
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of TIMENTIN (ticarcillin disodium and clavulanate potassium) and other antibacterial drugs, TIMENTIN should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
TIMENTIN is a sterile injectable antibacterial combination consisting of the semisynthetic antibiotic ticarcillin disodium and the β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanate potassium (the potassium salt of clavulanic acid) for intravenous administration. Ticarcillin is derived from the basic penicillin nucleus, 6-amino-penicillanic acid.
Chemically, ticarcillin disodium is N-(2-Carboxy-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-6-yl)-3-thiophenemalonamic acid disodium salt and may be represented as:
Clavulanic acid is produced by the fermentation of Streptomyces clavuligerus. It is a β-lactam structurally related to the penicillins and possesses the ability to inactivate a wide variety of β-lactamases by blocking the active sites of these enzymes. Clavulanic acid is particularly active against the clinically important plasmid-mediated β-lactamases frequently responsible for transferred drug resistance to penicillins and cephalosporins.
Chemically, clavulanate potassium is potassium (Z)-(2R,5R)-3-(2-hydroxyethylidene)-7oxo-4-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate and may be represented structurally as:
TIMENTIN is supplied as a white to pale yellow powder for reconstitution. TIMENTIN is very soluble in water, its solubility being greater than 600 mg/mL. The reconstituted solution is clear, colorless or pale yellow, having a pH of 5.5 to 7.5.
For the 3.1-gram dosage of TIMENTIN, the theoretical sodium content is 4.51 mEq (103.6 mg) per gram of TIMENTIN. The theoretical potassium content is 0.15 mEq (6 mg) per gram of TIMENTIN.
What are the possible side effects of ticarcillin and clavulanate potassium (Timentin)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- diarrhea that is watery or bloody;
- blood in your urine, feeling an urgent need to urinate, painful or difficult urination;
- easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness;
- dry mouth, increased thirst, confusion, increased urination, muscle pain or weakness, fast heart rate, feeling...

Chicks vs. Kittens iPhone Review
Posted on 7th Jun 2011 at 07:53 by David Hing with 5 comments
Games for iOS live and die by their personality, though, not whether their premises make sense, and Chicks vs. Kittens has plenty of personality. Your ammunition flaps around happily while it waits to drop onto enemies, while the climbing kittens are more lovable than sneezing baby pandas, with animations that are clear and crisp even when they're blown up to iPad size.
As far as the controls and gameplay go, Chicks vs. Kittens is a simple reaction test with a little bit of tower defence strategy thrown in to boot. The influence of the latter is manifested in the way you equip your chicks to perform different roles through the use of hats. Hats can be used to increase the strength of chicks, to upgrade your leaf-based economy or to change the way they attack kittens. Variations are constantly added throughout the game.

Home › Forums › General Forums › Food, Hydration, and Nutrition › Info on Fastpacking / Ultra Running Self-Supported Fueling Favorites
Oct 6, 2012 at 3:50 pm #1294763
I'm trying to get info for a (hopefully) upcoming attempt to do the Connecticut Challenge — hike/run the 56 miles of the A.T in Connecticut in one day. I'm down to 4.3 lbs of base gear carried in a Murmur that will allow a bail out camp if need be.
WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR –> I know that there are very experienced ultra runners and fast-packers here — what I want is your foods / drink mixes / proteins / electrolytes of choice.
ME: quick background is that I competed for 15 yrs in Sprint to Olympic distance triathlons, with a Half-Iron and a few marathons thrown in, as well as a 50K trail run early this year. My longest hiking day has been 35 miles (with a base of 8-9lbs plus regular few days of food). MY stomach does get a bit sensitive during long exercise, so I'm trying to gather everyones best ideas.
Here is a photo from my recent Northern Long Trail hike! Thanks to all for any input and thoughts!Oct 6, 2012 at 4:42 pm #1918747

@greg23Locale: Colorado
For nutrition look at Hammer Perpetuem, pre-measured into Ziplocks. And since this event is only 56 miles, basic maltodextrin would be fine, but Perpeteum is readily available.
Mix a slurry that you can tolerate in a wide mouth water bottle. (This maximize the calories per mix.) Compliment with clear water. Start your intake at between 300 to 350 calories per hour, using this water to supplement your hydration requirements. For instance, 150 calories every half hour (with water), and additional water at 15 and 45 minutes.
By creating a nutrition and hydration schedule you will be able to monitor your intake. If you "eat when you need to" you will fail, because when the pedal is to the metal, you won't feel like eating or drinking. But if you look at the bottle and realize you are 150 calories behind, you have a chance of setting things right.
Make your own electrolyte supplement by filling gelatin capsules with a mixture of regular salt (NaCl) and lite salt (KCl) and take as needed, based on your water consumption. Capsules make it easy to adjust, unlike integrated products.
The experiences of others is always interesting, but the only way to find out what works for you is to build a schedule, monitor your training runs, and adjust as needed.Oct 6, 2012 at 4:51 pm #1918754

I agree with Greg on the Hammer Perpetuem, except that is the only food I would use for a 56 miler, would not bother with any separate maltodextrin.
if you feel the need for some solid food I would recommend Stingers, maybe one every hour or two. high calorie per weight and they go down very easy.
also Perpetuem has enough electrolytes already in it that you should not have to supplement much if at all.
I mix 600 calories (4.5 scoops) into a 20 oz wide mouth bottle. I then carry additional in baggies like Greg suggested. I also carry some pure water.
Some people go as high as 1,000 calories per 20 oz, but that is too thick for me.Oct 6, 2012 at 5:06 pm #1918757

I also use Hammer products for my only fuel on hikes. I do 15-25 miles per day.
Nice to just pump or Steripen water, pour powder, shake . . . go!
I only put a "little" dribble of gel for flavor. I also squirted some lime & lemon into the bottles.
I stayed with the 230-250 kCal per hour. No problems, and I 'charge' along my pace!Oct 6, 2012 at 5:45 pm #1918766
I appreciate the prompt input so far and will continue to compile all this excellent info. Cheers and thanks for taking the time to give your opinions and insights as to what works for you.Oct 12, 2012 at 8:10 am #1920553

When I run ultras my main fuel is gel. I use PowerBar Gels cause I they have a thinner consistency than most gels and also have more electrolytes that most gels. I pop one every 20-30 minutes depending on how I'm feeling. At aid stations I will sometimes grab some pb&j and/or fruit but gels are my main calorie source.Oct 12, 2012 at 11:40 am #1920609
I would definitely add in some solid food along the way to change things up a bit. eating just gel all day will get very old.
when i've ridden centuries on my bike i'd 'bring gel, honey stinger waffles, banana (eat first since it will get smashed and is heavier), granola/candy bar.
benefit of this time of year is that things won't melt so chocolate things you'd think twice about in the summer are back in the mixOct 12, 2012 at 12:05 pm #1920611
Art …BPL Member
just reread your initial entry.
I too have stomach issues during ultra length events.
that is why I switched away from gels to Perpetuem.
gels would tend to contribute to stomach upset beyond 5-6 hours for me.
the Perpetuem has really helped minimize stomach upset.Oct 12, 2012 at 1:24 pm #1920638
Eugene SmithBPL Member
@eugeneiusLocale: Nuevo Mexico
True, Perpetuem does tend to be gentler on the stomach than the typical overly sweet gel, assuming you can get past the taste and consistency to begin with. For ultra distance, or any sustained endurance activity, Perpetuem provides more than just straight "Gu" type gels over the long run. It can be a solitary fuel source for a day of running, whereas gels usually have to be supplemented with some solid or denser caloric source in my experience.
Greg Gressel turned me onto straight maltodextrin powder, which has pretty much replaced gels for me. Pure maltodextrin powder with a bit of fructose and Mortons Light salt mixed up in water provides a great source of calories/electrolytes that digest well for me. Cheaper than gels and no sticky packaging.Oct 12, 2012 at 1:32 pm #1920640

I'll go against the majority.
Can you stash food on the route, or have helpers midway? Why carry anything?
Proper food is better than any of that sh$t, and that distance isn't too baddd….Oct 12, 2012 at 1:48 pm #1920644

I've posted this video before. It's a popular Ultra, but take a look at the leading racers eating style. 95 miles through Scottish mountains.
West Highland Way RaceOct 14, 2012 at 4:45 pm #1921181
I asked my college adviser who is a PhD in Nutrition about maltodextrin based stuff and she said it was not bad. it is just a complex sugar that burns slower than straight glucose.
that said I agree that mixing in real food is a good idea but for 100calorie boosts a few gels along the way and some calories with hydration like Cytomax or similar is useful.
setting up food drops along the way in CT would be do-able in a few spots but how "self supported" is that? it would be time consuming since connecting the dots from road crossings would be a lot of backroads.
also your video shows one food station… those hydration packs with all of the pockets aren't there for show.. i'd guess they had plenty of gel and other fast snacks along the wayOct 14, 2012 at 4:56 pm #1921185
Appreciate the good info and the video post (Awesome!). I read Greg Gressel's PCT journal on postholer (also Awesome!) and have also started getting in some other nutrition options to try out on some training runs.
GOAL: My specifics for this self-imposed challenge are :
1) Carry ALL nutrients consumed during the event, from the very beginning — no added "aid" stations along the way.
2) WATER must be pulled from regular locations along the trail and treated — can't stash water either.
3) Simply get from one border (don't know if I want to do it N->S or S->N yet) to the other as fast as I can — less than 24 hrs.
4) The 24 hr period does NOT have to fall all on the same calendar day.
5) Can go from car-to-car or camp both nights..doesn't matter, can use trekking poles or not.
We shall see if this fall weather holds out long enough for me to do this – – having fast-packed while post-holing through snow last year – – that is not fun, nor doable for the purpose of this challenge.
My longest trail run was 32 miles with 7,000 ft of elevation gain and it took 6 hrs 45 min, and my longest hiking day was 36 miles. Just want to see if I can do it without injuring myself, and how quick I can do it.Oct 14, 2012 at 5:12 pm #1921192
I would go south and get Bear mtn and Everett out of the way while you are fresh. then you can have the flats after Cornwall Bridge to look forward to. going down Bear at the end of all that would not be a fun time.. especially if it was dark.Oct 14, 2012 at 5:51 pm #1921218

Yes, Perpetuem all the way. It's powered my Rim to Rim to Rim and martahons. It totally rocks and it's really easy on my stomach!Oct 30, 2012 at 12:23 pm #1925394

@mtwardenLocale: Montana
another perpetuem user here- I pre-measure 2 scoop packets and then add to a 20 oz bottle (lasts about 2 hours)
I do like to add a little "regular" food along the way on very long days- I like fig newtons (original), mojo bars and occasionally a p&j sandwich
I also use Cliff blocks-typically 2-3 an hour
a foul stomach is no fun on a long run, some antacids are worth throwing in (and hopefully they go unused :))
for electrolytes I'm using one endurolyte capsule w/ one salstick capsule/hour- I blame some of my past stomach ills on lack of Sodium
looks like a great run-best of luck!Oct 30, 2012 at 1:24 pm #1925413

Mike, what are you using for the packets? Snack size ziplocs?
I've been just a big ziploc and the scoop, but find it's awfully messy. Might need to switch to the idividual packets.Oct 30, 2012 at 5:54 pm #1925471

@mtwardenLocale: Montana
Chris- I bought off ebay a couple of years ago a bag that contained ~ 100 each of different size 2 mil bags from 2×2 up to 3×5, I believe I'm using 3×4 for the perpetuem- fits two scoops w/ just a little room to spare
I've gotten more use out of those various size little bags than you can shake a stick at :) the little 2×2 ones are perfect size for a days worth of electrolyte tablets

@bigtimeLocale: Truckee
Thanks, Mike. Those definitely look like a better option than the snack sized ziplocs that I was thinking about using – less unused space and probably easier to pour.
And you must get a ridiculous amount of use out of those little bags. I was a stick shaking champion back in '97, so that's saying a lot :)

Reviews of this property
If you rent this appartment it's for the location. Great. That's all. The appartment was deceiving, because it was not clean. The kitchen was awfull. The floor, the oven, the washing machine were greasy. The bathroom was correct, but you have to be extremely careful when we were taking a shower, a little bath with an uneven bottom was dangerous. The place would have needed a big cleanup. But the summum was the fact that my wife and I discovered that we had little bites on our bodies. Are those bites coming from bugs in the mattress or maybe were we allergic to some kind of food, I don't know, but I am a little suspicious!
Giacomo is a nice guy, but he would surely need some help or advises to improve the place.
Venice was great, and we will forget Cà Sartor!
On a scale 1 to 10, not more than a 3
Nice apartment in a very good location in Venice. Easy to get everywhere. Very silent during the night. Giacomo was a very friendly host!
Very central location, Simple but good Apartment. Giacomo is a very nice host. Ask him for his favourite Restaurant.
We had a wonderful time in venice. Even though it was very hot outside, it was always great to come back to this nice, air conditioned apartment. Perfectly located. Thank you, Giacomo.
We had a very pleasant stay in Venice. Giacomo picked us up at the nearby boat station. Great location!
Breakfast includes chocolate croissants, crisp bread and jam and Prosecco. The supermarket is also within easy reach.
The apartment itself is as can be seen in the photos! You have to climb some stairs, but has lovely views over the rooftops of Venice.

I highly recommend! Perfect location just a few minutes from the Rialto bridge, near numerous bars, restaurants, shops. Spacious nice apartment with a beautiful view. Qiacomo is very attentive, he picked us up at the appointed time at the agreed place, he bought for breakfast (even a bottle of prosecco :-)). He is very communicative and willing to advise and give tips on what to see, where to go. Definitely like to come back!
