Town Square
The question that all of should be concerned about!
Original post made by Daveg, Birdland, on Jul 1, 2013
After spending various amounts of time, commenting on different postings on the Pleasanton Weekly, I wonder what has happened to civil discourse in this country. In the attempt to make a point, it appears that if one is not physically facing the other, then somehow it is acceptable to use derogatory terms to try to reinforce their viewpoint. Why have we accepted such actions/reactions from both others and ourselves that tend to attempt to degrade and/or insult others? The Pleasanton Weekly provides a wonderful vehicle for all of us to present our personal opinion's and even sometimes with some facts to back them up. Why is it that if one disagrees, many times one resorts to thinly veiled insults. Can we not present an opposing viewpoint without resorting to name calling and personnel attacks? When the Pleasanton Weekly has to delete somebodies words or entire posting, should we not look to ourselves and question ourselves rather than castigating the Weekly for removing the offensive words? We should all look inward and remember that to present a good argument one can use the English language in the manner it was and is intended. Perhaps it is called conscience, and something we should reflect on before using words that have no place in a civil discourse.
"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience."

Sounds like another liberal crybaby. I just may puke.

I like Daveg's trenchant, wise, probing, uplifting comments ever so truly much indeed.

Daveg, thanks so much for stating what should be obvious. The anonymity seems to breed bad manners, while in fact I enjoy learning from one another by hearing a case being made.
I'd never have attributed this to being liberal, though, as it seems that the more conservative approach was civil discourse and the liberal age has harkened in an "anything goes" mentality.
Refreshing, Daveg!

Luxurious and spacious appartment at a great location in Sevilla! We stayed with 8 persons one week, and it proved to be enough room for all of us. When on vacation location is important, and with the Parque Marie Louisa just across the street, location was well cared for. And it took only 10 to 15 minutes to walk through the park to the city center.
We were also very happy with the service, both in renting the appartment and in service on the spot. It was easy to arrange for us to be picked up from the airport (and brought back) for a very reasonable fee.
Advise: make a plan on who will shower when, because the warm water capacity per run was limited.
All in all we can recommend both this appartment and our host Carmen!
Nice and cosy apartment with a marvellous roof terrace. Positive: everything is available to make a decent meal, the apartment is clean, it has a "double bed" (not a twin bed) and a nice view from the terrace. Only point that could be improved: the amount of hot water due to the capacity of the boiler.
This is a really new apartment. Although it's not in the down town but very near to the metro station. With the taxi from down town to the apartment you just need to pay about 10 Euro.
What not good we feel is: there is NO WIFI or INTERNET! It's really extremely inconvenient! Especially for the tourists, who want search for the route or sth. else.
Perfect located. It´s a small studio but the large terrace makes all the difference. Very well equipped kitchen, and nice large bathroom.
This was a really fantastic apartement with a nice kitchen and modern bathroom. Special was the roof-garden with a great view on the city. We would book this place anytime again. We have there a pleasant stay.
We had a great stay in Sevilla at Carmen's appartment!
everything was clean and nice! The owner was very helpful and recommended the best Tapas bars in the City... we Location was perfect, we had a few minutes walk to plaza de Hercules and about 10 Minutes walk to all sight seeing buildings.
This really is a great apartment. We stayed 4 nights there and loved it. The representative was there to meet us and show us the apartment and gave good advice about the area. It is a very spacious, comfortable apartment, true to the photos in the advertisement. The location is excellent. It is 3 minutes walk to the Cathedral plaza and about 2 minutes the other way to the riverside. We had no trouble finding our way around.
Thoroughly recommended.
Highly recomend this apartment to anybody. German received my wife and I and was 100% available and help us everytime we needed.
The location is good, 10 mins walk to the cathedral! The apartment is clean and confortable, with good wi-fi.
Don't hesitate!
We booked this quite last minute so were uncertain about the arrangements to get the key. We were relieved to find German waiting for us at the door. The apartments are fresh and newly decorated. Our second floor place looked over the noisy, narrow street as well as the narrower side street. On the nearby Plaza Alameda de Hercules, there are many restaurants and bars, very nice. The linens are good, the shower is great. There is a washer and dryer available on the second floor landing, with soap. As these are new rentals, they are still fine tuning the facilities. It would be nice to see kitchen towels, a full length mirror, a few more hooks for backpacks, towels, coats, etc. On departure, we were unable to arrange for key drop-off and final payment, but assume they got it.
The booking was very easy and the contact to the responsibles of the appartment perfect. They answered quick to every of our questions. The flat is like on the photos in the internet. Our contact person for the keys was everytime available and in time.

Escaped Murderer Sentenced to 46 Months for Bank Fraud and Identity Theft
MICHAEL J. GARCIA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that IVAN ORTA CUPRILL was sentenced earlier today by United States District Judge DEBORAH A. BATTS to 46 months in prison for stealing the identity of another person and applying for student loans using that person's name and social security number. When he committed those crimes, from 1999 to 2002, CUPRILL was a wanted fugitive, having escaped from jail in Puerto Rico where he was serving a maximum 27-year sentence after having been convicted of murder and other crimes.
According to the Complaint and Indictment previously filed in Manhattan federal court, as well as court documents from Puerto Rico and statements on the record in this case:
Beginning in 1999, CUPRILL submitted applications for financial aid to attend the State University of New York at Old Westbury. In the applications, CUPRILL identified himself as "Jaime Torres" and used the Social Security number belonging to a person with that name. The loans were approved and funds were paid by Citibank USA to the college on CUPRILL's behalf. CUPRILL attended the school for over a year, but never repaid the loans.
At the time of his July 2006 arrest on these charges CUPRILL's true identity was not known. However, agents from the Department of Education in New York and Puerto Rico identified the defendant as CUPRILL using fingerprints, and learned that since 1994 CUPRILL had been wanted for escape from prison while serving a 27-year sentence for murder and other crimes.
On May 14, 2007, CUPRILL pleaded guilty before Judge BATTS to bank fraud and identity theft. In addition to imposing the 46–month prison term, to run consecutively to CUPRILL's other outstanding sentences, Judge BATTS sentenced CUPRILL to three years of supervised release and ordered him to make restitution to the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation in the amount of $4,000.
Mr. GARCIA praised the work of the Department of Education in this case.
Assistant United States Attorney JEFFREY A. BROWN is in charge of the prosecution.

It is said that the biggest obstacle to homeownership is coming up with the cash to cover the down payment and closing costs. With this fact in mind, it was the government that first addressed this issue when it created the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) in the 1930s. The government's goal in creating the FHA was to make homeownership more attainable by offering long term fixed rate mortgages with low down payments. Prior to FHA, a down payment of at least 20 percent was required to buy a home. Today, FHA allows a homebuyer to buy a home with as little as 3.5 percent down with low 30-year fixed rates and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will accept a down payment as low as 3 percent.
In the height of the subprime loan frenzy just 6 or 7 years ago, mortgages were available that provided 100 percent financing. Even Fannie Mae got into the action by offering one mortgage for 100 percent of the sales price so that no down payment was required at all. In fact, some lenders were offering loan amounts up to 103 percent of the sales price so that the homebuyer would not even have to come up with any cash for the closing costs.
While many homebuyers are fortunate enough to have family that can provide a gift to cover all or a portion of the down payment, many are on their own and will have to save the money to cover the down payment and closing costs. Even with just 3.5 percent down, the cash required to buy a home priced at $425,000 can come to $25,000, which includes the down payment, closing costs and the funds lenders require to set up the impound account.
Saving enough money to cover the difference between a family's current rent payment and the proposed mortgage payment will better prepare a borrower and ensure they don't have payment shock when the first mortgage payments are due. For example, if a family is currently paying $1,800 per month in rent and if the new proposed house payment is going to be $2,800, it stands to reason that saving $1,000 per month while renting should be within the realm of possibility. Unfortunately, America is well known for being a country of spenders and not savers and, for some, the transition to becoming a saver may never be realized. Owning a home is not for everyone. It is never too early for a family that would like to buy a home to begin a savings plan in earnest.
Saving enough money to cover the purchase of a home is really just a start. Homeowners are well advised to have money set aside for repairs, regular maintenance and for possible gaps in employment. We have all read the advice columns about home budgets and finances. They tell us to keep track of the money we spend, do not make frivolous purchases, do not charge more on your credit cards than you can pay off at the end of the month and, certainly, do not buy a new car that will require monthly payments until you speak with a mortgage professional about how it will affect your purchasing power.

A restaurant chain which is based in Corpus Christi, Texas, and mainly serves the Southern region of the U.S. Has a reputation for making some of the best food you can get at a fast-food place. They do take near-forever when it comes to serving your order, but they compensate for the slow service with the great food.
by Dr. Atomic December 04, 2004
Resturant which has the best fucking hamburgers in the world, 2nd best fries next to mcdonalds, and open 24/7 which is awesome, stoners paradise, makes all other burgers taste like crap, and you can order the burgers any way you like ex. triple meat, triple cheese, and bacon
by Whata March 15, 2004
Founded in 1950 in Corpus Christi, Texas, Whataburger now has approximately 700 locations scattered over mostly several southern states and is still a family owned restaurant business. Well regarded by employees and patrons alike, they are known for quality and value. They are always my choice for a fast, delicious, quality meal whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner or simply a snack.
examples: Whataburger breakfast Taquitos are the best, Whataburger hamburgers (bacon cheeseburger with jalapenos is my favorite) are the best, Whataburger has the best chicken strips and ALWAYS the best shakes! Also, I'd rather eat Whataburger's fried fish than from a traditional restaurant and nowhere else can compare to Whataburtger's onion rings. I just wish that there were more of them so I didn't have to go so far to get meals. And no, they did not pay me to say this - not so much as even a free burger. They're just good!
by Preston C. Dumas October 26, 2007
If you live in the Southern region of the United States, it's the place to go to when you're drunk as shit 2AM in the morning with your mates. They serve AMAZING burgers and are 24/7 and are one of the many reasons why Texas kicks ass.
Guy 1: Dudeeeeee I'm getting the munchiest let's go to Whataburger

S&P Ups JPMorgan To Buy Before Earnings
JPMorgan (JPM) was rising 2% in recent trading, along with much of the financial sector, as the bank prepares to kick off financials' earnings season with its first quarter report tomorrow morning.
However, a day ahead of the earnings report, S&P Capital IQ rasied its rating on the stock from Hold to Buy. Analyst Eric Oja raised his target price by $7 as well, to $49, as the stock is trading cheaply and he expects a mostly positive report.
"On Q1 earnings report Friday, we expect a rebound in trading revenues to $1.0B from $750M in Q4, a lower than peers level of noninterest expenses, better than peer quality of earnings (low reserve releases), as well as improving investment banking results. JPM shares currently trade at less than 10.0X our 2012 EPS estimate of $4.46, which we think is attractive relative to peers and with respect to JPM's recent historical valuations."

Yep, you have to answer a lot of questions in the voting booth this year. Here's what they're about, and how we think you should vote on them.
Yes on State Question 1 — Casino in Oxford County
WHAT IT IS Black Bear Entertainment has brought the fourth casino proposal to Maine voters in seven years, and the second to propose a site in Oxford County. Proponents say it will create jobs and support education funding — the state estimates that $15 million would be generated to help fund K-12 education statewide, $2 million for UMaine scholarships, and $1.6 million for Maine community college scholarships.WHAT WE SAY In 2003, 2007, and 2008 we opposed the casino referenda not on principle, but on the grounds that those proposals were bad deals for Maine. This year, we support the casino question because this proposal is a better deal: It is a chance for badly needed investment and state revenue, an opportunity to create jobs in an area of the state that has had trouble attracting employers, and a chance to attract even more people from out-of-state to come to Maine and leave some of their wealth behind for us to use to improve our schools and institutions of higher learning.VOTE YES. We should note that we support the casino cautiously, as our reporting has revealed questionable accounting activities in state administration of the revenue from Hollywood Slots. State officials — and the public — should remain vigilant about tracking the large amounts of cash involved in casino operations.
Yes on State Question 2 — $5 million dental-care bond
WHAT IT IS This would borrow $5 million to improve access to dental care in Maine. Of that, $3.5 million would be used to fund a community-based teaching dental clinic as part of a dental college, to be matched by $3.5 million in other, non-taxpayer, funds. The remaining $1.5 million would go to create or improve dental clinics around the state.WHAT WE SAY Maine is in a dental-care crisis, with state health officials saying every single county suffers from a shortage of dental-health professionals. While borrowing money in a recession raises concerns about ability to repay the debt, this is a public-health problem for which public dollars are well spent, particularly when matched with other funds, and with a statewide plan.VOTE YES.
Yes on State Question 3 — $9.75 million conservation bond
WHAT IT IS This would spend $6.5 million to buy land for conservation, $1 million to protect working farmland, $1.75 million to preserve working waterfront, and $500,000 to support the operations of state parks. These borrowed funds would be matched by $9.25 million in federal and private funds.WHAT WE SAY Conserving more of Maine is a good idea, and previous conservation bonds have been used well and wisely to protect key forested parcels like Robinson Woods in Cape Elizabeth, and fresh- and salt-water beaches and other beautiful places throughout the state. Borrowing in a recession does raise concerns about payback, but this bond effectively cuts the price of conservation work in half, at least for as long as this money lasts.VOTE YES.
Yes on County Question 4 — New county charter

"But Victor Cruz is the most interesting. The New York Giants slot receiver will almost certainly receive a first-round tender if the team can't work out a long-term deal with him. And from what I hear, there is already a ton of interest and plenty of teams just waiting for their opening."
It just might be convenient for other teams, that view cruz's overall play as a number 1 receiver to pay/ relinquish the 1st round pick for his proven veteran acheivments over an unproven; in a position that is the hardest to transition to the pro level from college.
read into it however you like, but when it comes to the draft/ free agency / teams looking to spark life into their fan base and generate revenue. Nothing is impossible.
This board will crash if another team picks up Cruz as a RFA. I can already imagine the tears if it happens.

Scam Artists Replace iPad 2s with Blocks of Clay in Canada, Return Them for Full Refunds

Clay iPads
(Source: cdn.tipb.com)
Stores like Walmart, Best Buy, Future Shop and London Drugs have all had cases where clay replaced iPad 2's during returns
Customers shopping for iPad 2's in certain Canadian stores are finding blocks of clay in their brand new boxes instead of Apple's popular iOS tablet.
Apple's iPad 2, which was released in March 2011, is a well sought-after item in the tablet market. No other tablets have been able to touch its popularity, whether it be Android-based, BlackBerry's PlayBook, HP's TouchPad, etc. In fact, iPads accounted for
97.2 percent of U.S. tablet traffic
in August 2011.
Now, scam artists are taking advantage of the tablet's popularity by purchasing an iPad 2 from stores with cash, replacing the tablet with a block of clay, and returning it to the store for a full refund. The
fraudulent iPad 2's
are then placed back on the shelves for other unsuspecting customers to buy.
Stores like Walmart, Best Buy, Future Shop and London Drugs have all had cases where clay replaced iPad 2's during returns. According to
CTV News
, Best Buy and Future Shop had as many as 10 fake clay models resold to customers in their Metro Vancouver stores. London Drugs had four cases of clay models being resold while Walmart said it was investigating less than 10 cases.
Dayna Chabot was one of the unsuspecting customers who purchased a "clay" 32 GB iPad 2 at Walmart on January 5. She purchased it at the Langley store, south of Vancouver.
"It was all sealed properly and everything," said Chabot. "It was the shape of an iPad. They even had a piece of clay where the charger went and everything. Like,
they knew what they were doing
. I understood that it could have easily been us that did it and went back. But they were really good about it at Walmart. They were all just kind of baffled."
In response, Future Shop, Best Buy and London Drugs said they are all changing their return policies. The iPad 2 boxes will be opened right in front of the customers returning them to make sure the correct components are inside before offering a refund or putting the boxes back on the shelves.
Walmart, however, said it is not changing its return policy at this time. It called the scams "upsetting" and said it contacted the local police to investigate, but
CTV News
said local police knew nothing about the clay iPad 2s.
"It's really sad that people stoop to these low levels to take advantage of really hot sellers," said Elliott Chun, Future Shop spokesperson. "As you probably know, tablets were the number one touted gift items for the holidays this year."

Stupid is as stupid does....
My children even questioned the authenticity of this one. I have not looked or tried to verify it, I lost too many IQ points just reading it.
Imagine whirled peas

To me it sounds a lot like Michelle Obama. I'd say she wrote the letter.
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
i don't know-- all i can say is they don't call um "liberals" for nothing--LOL
could well be a spoof--
Now if they could just get Hunters to go to the grocery store and get meat were its made instead of having to shoot innocent animals we would not need guns. We elect smart people to keep us safe. MR Obama is a smart man or he would not have got elected. He
protects his flock an i feel safe with him in control of every one he even gave me a free cell phone an health care.
I guess there is a slim chance that this was written by a person other than a 'libtard' as you put it.... but since I happen to deal with a lot of liberals and having discussed a bit of politics with them now and then I can assure you that over half of them could have easily written the above letter And NO I am not joking I am dead serious! I usually want to just palmface em' but alas you can't fix stupid.
i don't know if a true libetard wrote this or not . however i think a lot of them do think just like this--
That was freaking hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid people like that shouldn't be allowed to breed.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
Hilarious but very sad too. The writer's ignorance is unbelievable!

From Helen of Troy to Barbie of the plastic hourglass, men and girls have been inspired by impossible ideals of female physical perfection. Helen, of course, will always have Paris, whereas Mattel's muse gets stuck with Trojan Barbie. Christine Evans's self-described "modern car-crash encounter with Euripides's Trojan Women," which is receiving its world premiere courtesy of the American Repertory Theatre (at Zero Arrow Theatre through April 22), does not actually deploy Barbie against the forces of Agamemnon or drag her off to the camp where captive women await transport to Greece and slavery. Barbie (or pieces and parts of her) appears in the play only as a set piece: decorations on a heart-shaped, shard-studded sculpture created by Trojan queen Hecuba's youngest daughter after a museum tour of art objects built from broken stuff. What Evans actually inserts into The Trojan Women is a less-than-stoic Western sensibility and allusions to the Iraq War.
A British doll-repair expert who opts for a "cultural tour for singles" to the site of the former Troy, in what's now Turkey, Lotte Jones is so uptight and organized that she alphabetizes her to-take list ("tickets, traveler's checks, Tic-Tacs"). One moments this timorous cross between Geppetto and Shirley Valentine is sipping lemonade at a tourist boîte; the next, she's tumbling through the looking glass into Euripides's play with a little help from co-dramatist Evans. Confronted by a panicked Andromache cradling a porcelain-doll son and then herded with her new companion into a rubble-strewn camp plopped in a time warp between ancient Troy and a ravaged contemporary desert kingdom being monitored by a multinational force, our cowering heroine is stuck in a war zone where she can't even raise the British Embassy on her cellphone.
It's clear that Trojan Barbie is neither Greek tragedy nor contemporary realism. And in melding ancient and modern, Evans creates some artful parallels and searing images but also some problems. Her writing, especially for the sexually raging Cassandra, can be quite visceral. And though the character of Lotte, even in the capable hands of Karen MacDonald, verges on crumpets-and-affronted-Empire cliché, Evans makes a spunky victim of Hecuba's daughter Polyxena, who does not appear in The Trojan Women but whose sacrifice at the tomb of Achilles is among the queen's related woes. Rechristened Polly X and costumed like a Catholic schoolgirl, the child here spends several tense scenes swilling beer with a sort of good-cop/bad-cop team of rape-minded Western soldiers before meeting her fate — posed like Christ against the backdrop of her own broken-Barbie sculpture. And as personified by ART Institute actor Kaaron Briscoe, she exudes a mix of credulousness and fearlessness that's quite touching.
But Trojan Barbie lacks the interior logic such a vehicular-collision concept requires. Although a repatriated Lotte coos embarrassedly about the media attention incurred by her rescue, a coda featuring a convenient mental patient suggests that, like the final season of Dynasty, her experience among the sorrowing Trojan women may have been a dream. Certainly for Paula Langton's ranting, sobbing Hecuba, it's a bit of a nightmare. The excellent actress, backed by a punk-clad distaff duo of a Greek Chorus, carries on as if she were actually in the play by Euripides, and set amid all the contemporary ironic counterpart she comes off as an overwrought old bore.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › Shoulder strap construction methods
Mar 1, 2007 at 11:07 am #1222113
I'd like to start some dialogue on how to make shoulder straps.
I'm currentally working on a set of padded ones for my never ending pack project. Before I started into it last night I came up with about 5 different ways to basically do the same thing – Foam with fabric on both sides.
My intended use is not SUL backpacking, more mountaineering, skiing and abuse with 20 lbs or so
Spew your methods please… Joe F – The ones on your winter pack look great please do tell…
I sewed up one last night making a sleeve for the foam and it came out ok… I also tried using grosgrain sewing throught the foam and a few other ways.

I've made mine a few ways and change my templet a bit but for the most part I make mine from 1.9oz silnylon and 3-D mesh. I use 1/8th mini cell foam inside the top 12". I've make then with and without pockets, buckles, loops and other stuff but at this point I don't add much. I don't really like a chest strap and I didn't find the pockets that usefull.
I can post some pictures tonight of some.
If your making your first set I'd download the Gossomer gear directions, make a few set out of cotton and patern as you go. Once happy make them for real. 3-D mesh isn't cheap but I really like the look and feel of it.

Thru-hiker sells pre-made shoulder straps for about $10. They have a ladder lock and padding and weigh .96 oz a piece.
They also sell the 3D mesh that is used for a lot of shoulder straps. $20 for a yard of it that's 54".
Don't know much about making shoulder straps, but those are the options I'm considering for a pack project I have in mind.

Another thing to consider with straps is your sewing machine. Once you start working with 3-D mesh, foam, and webbing you need something with a strong feeder like an industrial machine. I currently use a semi industrial unit and even it skips a few stictches when dealing with this many heavier fabrics at once. If you can use something with a walkiing foot you'd be golden.

Thanks Guys,
I ended up going the sleeve route for the straps. Lacking the 3d mesh I used some strechy scholer soft shell material for the "skin" side. I'm going to be using the pack mostly in cold conditions so I didnt really feel like waiting to order the more breathable and wicking 3d mesh.
They came out good but I started to loose patience fiddling with them and I think i could have tweaked the shape a tad more for better neck clearance.
Anyway, after building the side panels and pockets, I decided I wanted more volume and am scrapping them, taking a step back for round two starting tonight… getting closer…
ps. I'm sewing on a Viking and It goes through pretty much everything. I did 7 layers the other night no problem.. amazing!Mar 5, 2007 at 7:49 pm #1381201
Sounds like your heading in the right direction. Anyone who starts a pack and isn't ready to start the next one before he's done isn't doing it right!.
This is a picture of a pack I'm working on now. It's a Day pack and due to the smller size I'm having a time making everything work out to a good fit.
These are some test straps and one of the temp I use to make them. If you are going to use some type of foam or thicker mesh you need to add about 3" at the end some you can sew them to the pack without binding.
Good luck

Looks like a nice work in progress Joe.
I argree, when ever I'm working on something, if I incorporate all the ideas that come into my head while I'm working on it I'd never actually finish anything!
I cranked away last night and changed a bunch of things around. I'll have the main pack done pretty quick tonight, with only the top lid remaining. I'll try to get around to posting some pictures.
Was thinking of using 1.1 oz silnylon for the "extension" part of the top opening. Not sure if that's too light a fabric or not but am going to see how it works anyway.
CheersMar 6, 2007 at 11:21 am #1381291
if your going to make a roll down collar, I think you'll be fine. The last pack I made the is from .08 nylon except for the last 4" where it attaches to the main part of the bag. This way most of the lighter fabric is rolled up when the bag is in use.
JFFMar 6, 2007 at 2:22 pm #1381316
Exactally, I'm using the dyneema 210d for everything, but was going to use the 1.1oz for the top 4" collar. It will just be rolled down to get in the pack and fairly rarely used when I'm maxing out the pack volume.Mar 6, 2007 at 2:24 pm #1381318
I did that with a Dyneema-bodied pack I recently finished. It works fine. I used a 12" collar.Mar 6, 2007 at 3:09 pm #1381326
The only place I've really had problems with switching to light weight fabric is side pockets. I did a pack where I used some .08 oz nylon and it didn't end up wearing well. I carried a tarp tend in it and over about 3 days it riped a bit but fixed it when I got home.
That said I've gone away from the idea of using 1.1oz on most of my packs. I just don't see the weight savings pan out for me. My summer weight is about 12lbs pls food. saving 2 or 3oz but knowing the pack will wear out quickly isn't worth it.
At this point I just try and use light but not crazy light fabrics. Most of the body is made from 1.9 oz sil coated nylon. you can only find this at Seatle Fabric. It's a bit stronger then the poly stuff. Pockets are either a stretch mesh or regular mesh and with 1.9 bottoms.
I've used Cuben but not for packs. I've made a few stuff sacks and I'm watching them for wear. So far wearing much better then most of the other light weight sil stuff. may try it at some point for a silly light pack.

Hey guys,
I'm glad you're talking about strap design ideas.
There are a bunch of projects I've completed (and probably should learn how to photograph and post), but have not posted about. I think I'm getting the idea that maybe my stuff could help someone else with there stuff. To date I've designed, made, and used (abused also) a silnylon poncho/tarp (7.1 oz), a silnylon/pertex quantum/noseeums bivy (7.6 oz), a nylon shell/climashield summer quilt (15 oz), and a nylon shell/primaloft shoulder season quilt (23 oz) – for winter, I combine the 2 quilts with a simple matching strap and loop design making for very cozy nights and does double duty to keep the quilt loose or tightly tucked in as weather and mood dictate.
All in all it's been a hoot. But, now I'd like to try my hand a pack. I've been using a Golite Breeze during my transition away from UHW (UltraHeavyWeight) gear to a more svelte kit. There may be something to be said for allowing winter gear to loft out fully inside its voluminous interior I suppose, but this pack is way more than I'll need this spring through fall. So, there's a new pack in my drawing board's immediate future.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanx in advance,
EricMar 6, 2007 at 8:11 pm #1381360
Packs would probably attract as much controversy as alcohol stoves if they were easier to make and more folks did it. So you will probably get opinions going all over the place.
For what it's worth here are my prejudices:
a) 1.3 oz silnylon works for me on everything but packs that are to be subjected to public transportation, including hitching and lots of butt-sliding over granite –IOW, for the AT or other long trail use. For that, I think Dyneema grid-stop makes sense. With that said, I have UL packs that have survived the AT – at the cost of a certain amount of anxiety.
b) Flat, wide packs keep the load closer to the back and better balanced than bulging bags like the Breeze. Matching stuff sacks provide structure and superior load control.
c) For long trails, good load control means reducing the size of the bag as the food load shrinks, so some form of compression is a good idea. For short trips, compression is irrevelant, and the bag can be as clean as possible. Side compression keeps a flat bag flat while front compression tends to give it an undesirable barrel shape.
d) If you use detachable shoulder straps, you can move them from bag to bag. Shoulder straps are a pain to make, and I avoid doing it when I can. I have a good contoured design and several straps made on that design, so I reuse them – pull them off one pack and put them on whichever pack I plan to use next.
You can turn out a light weight pack bag in an afternoon or two. That means you can have several bags sized for the season and the load and not have to worry with compression issues. Just move your strap set from pack to pack. Shoulder straps can be attached with 8" strips of 4" Velcro. At a minimum of 5 pounds of strength per square inch, one strip per strap will hold 160 pounds. That ought to do it. Make the strips on the pack longer to provide torso length adjustment. For reasons that escape me, Velcro narrower than 4" does not work as well even when using one per strap — whereas, you can put both straps on a single 4" strip. Go figure.
e) Large sleeve pockets on the sides of either mesh or nylon, but certainly with mesh bottoms, can hold water and fuel and a leak will not get in the pack.
f) As mentioned earlier in this thread, roll-down tops let you vary the load and compress the pack from the top for load control. They are also weather resistant (as a final protection, not as the first line of protection), and they work better with the wide, shallow pack recommended in b). Contrast that with the drawstring top of the Breeze which tends to result in a cylindrical top. In practice, letting the top go cylindrical does not hurt the balance much, but the drawstring, while a little lighter, does not let you vary the load much.
g) If you make your own packs, you can experiment with unusual ideas. But start simple. My favorite is to go without a hip belt. Almost everyone who starts out to make a MYOG pack tries to incorporate a hip belt, but they rarely, if ever, work as intended. As Ryan Jordan demonstrated in an article on pack design here at BPL ("Frameless Backpacks: an Engineering Analysis"), packs without supporting frame members such as stays will compress between the hip belt and shoulder straps, eliminating the support the hip belt is supposed to provide. I don't use hip belts for loads under 35 pounds or so, and find my walking is easier. Hip belts restrict full body movement, reduce your stride length, put pressure on critical muscles, and generally get in the way of walking.
h) Beware foofawraw – anything you add to a simple bag means more weight, and it adds up fast. A 5 ounce concept can quickly double in weight with extra straps, reinforcements, pockets, etc. Also beware mixing incompatible materials – especially heavy or stiff webbing or reinforcement material on UL nylon. The result will be a dog's breakfast. Be aware that UL packs have little inherent structure and heavy or stiff components will distort them, strain the fabric and cause failure.Mar 6, 2007 at 8:38 pm #1381364
Thanks Vick.
My intention is to build a few packs, so your shared strap idea is quite an elegant solution.
I am in training already for my 2007 AT through hike. As I am a poor but hearty private music teacher, I will have limited time to complete my trek (approximately 110 days is all I can afford in terms of time off). This may seem a fool's errand to the more experienced amongst us, but it is my unwavering intention.
The need for multiple packs is due to mostly to the variety of weather and trip length I encounter. Most training hikes start predawn and end a few minutes before my first students knock on the door at around 3PM. So, I have been using the breeze as an oversized day pack. Weekends find me doing local (Long Island, NY) trails of 40 to 50 miles split between Saturday and Sunday with an overnight on trail. My kit weight hovers between 5 and 8 pounds (had a windy wet low in the negative single digits which required more insulation and resulted in a frozen beard and water bottle). Then, when school is on break, I do a seven to nine day hike sometimes nearly filling my pack for all the food and clothes. So, I'm thinking a pack for each purpose, and one for the long trip.
Good heads up on the compression. My first thought was to load the side seams nearest my back with loops. These I would thread with chord both front and rear to hold my sleeping pad between my back and pack as well as to give a bit of pack compression.
Thanx again for your thoughts. Wish me luck.

One of my major concerns with regards to packs is the smell that can get into the pack straps from underarm secretions, especially when not wearing a hip belt so that the shoulder muscles are forced to work hard and thus perpsire heavily, even when using strong anti-perspirants. Whatever those secretions are, they either have no smell or even smell nice on the skin, but they stink to high heaven once they get into the pack straps and dry there. After a while, it becomes nearly impossible to remove this stink. McNett Mirazyme may remove it, but nothing else seems to work: not bleach, nor hot water and detergent, nor vinegar nor lemon juice nor baking soda.
Instead of toting around a bunch of Mirazyme on long trips, the solution I came up with is to simply install a wide (1 1/2") sternum strap and then pull the straps close in so that they never have a chance to pick up any underarm secretions. This will feel very uncomfortable at first, until the neck muscles (upper trapezius, rhomboid and spinal erector msucles) develop. I tried this with a thin 3/4" sternum strap but that wasn't nearly as comfortable as the thick strap, considering how much of the load I was asking this sternum strap to carry. By keeping the strap fairly high, there shouldn't be any interference with breathing, assuming you are breathing with the diaphragm rather than the upper chest.
A secondary advantage of relying heavily on the sternum strap to carry the load is that the shape of the pack straps no longer really matters. You can forget those fancy contoured shapes and just make the straps rectangular, in other words.
One way to save on the weight of that heavy 1 1/2" strap is to make it fixed length rather than adjustable. It takes a while to figure out what the optimal length is, but I found that this optimal length doesn't really vary with load, unlike the length of shoulder straps.Mar 7, 2007 at 8:03 am #1381413
One thing I've found that really works for smell is a product called sink the stink. It's sold at dive and kayaking shops. Take a look at there website and most places sell it in small tubes so your not puttting out a lot of $$$ to try it. I've used it on my kayaking neoprine booties for years and it really works.
As for the sternum strap idea although it sounds good I'd wonder if you can adjusting your placement of the shoulder strap on the pack, change the points at which they tie into the body of the pack at the bottom and top as well as shape. I can carry about 201bs without the straps sliding off my shoulders. The sliding off of the straps seems to be the problem and the need for the sternum strap.
JFFMar 7, 2007 at 10:36 am #1381447
Yeah, good luck. You are planning very high mileage, but that's been done and with the mileage you are practicing with, you ought to be able to set that kind of pace – especially in the mid-Atlantic states. I plan to start this month and to go a good bit slower. If you are starting after school is out, you can dispense with cold weather gear entirely until you hit the Whites. Even then, you can go with fairly light sleeping gear. The coldest you are likely to encounter there in August is 25F, and this year seems to be shaping up to be warmish.Mar 7, 2007 at 10:47 am #1381450
I agree with Joe about the stink issue and sternum straps. Sing the Stink sounds a lot like McNett's Mirazyme (SP?) which I have found to be the only effective treatment for imbedded hiker stink. On long trails, I carry two Velcro pads that match the Velcro on my shoulder straps. That way, the straps can go in the laundry without catching and wrecking other gear.
Sternum straps are a remedy for poorly designed and mounted shoulder straps, IMHO. Never needed them since settling on wide, contoured straps set 1" apart and anchored to the outside bottom edges of the pack. The angle at which the tops of the straps attach to the pack determines the angle at which they contact your shoulders; square attachment for square shoulders, a "V" or acute angle between the strap attachment will fit sloping shoulders.Mar 7, 2007 at 12:50 pm #1381467
Great to have your insight Vick.
Sounds like you have a ton of experience here.
I still think a sternum strap is good to have when you are doing awkward moves. Like bushwacking, skiing etc. They keep the load from transfering from one strap the other so much. When things get silly I tighten mine down..
For normal hiking I totally see your point though :)Mar 7, 2007 at 1:10 pm #1381472
Sure – mystery moves require more pack stability than stroling up a gentle trail. A waist belt (not load bearing) is a good thing to have if your pack threatens to go over your head. Maybe even a sternum strap when climbing difficult pitches. My point is that sternum straps are generally an attempt to make up for poor shoulder strap design. They are part of the "if it don't work, patch something else on" school of design.Mar 7, 2007 at 4:14 pm #1381502

My pack is actually more comfortable without the sternum strap and the placement is not far from what Vick recommends, but the straps nevertheless come close enough to my underarms to pick up stink. The sternum strap is strictly to avoid stinking the straps up and thus having to tote along a supply of Mirazyme. My trips are outside the United States, so I have to carry everything I'll need for the next 8 months with me. Also, having to fiddle with cleaning my pack with Mirazyme every few weeks would surely become a nuisance after a while.Mar 8, 2007 at 3:14 pm #1381638
I just re-read my post and noticed a boo-boo (typo).
My hike will start in 2008, not 2007.
Sorry 'bout that folks.
Still thanks for the help – as all is appreciated.

Walking foots/feet, can be purchased for almost any machine. They might not be as good as an industrial built in model, but they do work.
Makes all the difference in either creating a Klein bottle (3D representation of a rotated mobius strip), or a shoulder strap which lays flat as it is designed to. This is assuming you are trying to create the shoulder strap at the outset. ;-)Mar 12, 2007 at 2:22 pm #1382048
I see your point about the trips you take. But remember, you can deodorize a lot of gear with very little Mirazyme. It only takes maybe 15 drops per gallon of water, dunk the items, let them drain back into the container, hang to dry. I have not found it to be inconvenient.Mar 12, 2007 at 7:22 pm #1382073
They do work well but offten take up quite a bit of your sewing area clearence. I find they work best with slippery fabrics like sil nylon.

With a limited growing season and high demand for local food, Maine farmers have a short window of time to get their products to the public. While farmers' markets and community-supported agriculture plans (CSAs) are popular, it can be difficult for vegetable farmers to stand out among their peers. Some have found that teamwork, creativity, and technology can attract more customers and help boost sales among existing ones.
Penny Jordan of Jordan's Farm in Cape Elizabeth embraces technology as a way to reach more customers. She's created a four-season online market so people can shop, order, and pay from home. A few days later, the order is ready for pickup.
"Farms are businesses, and like any other business, farmers need to leverage the tools and technology available to market and distribute their products," she says. "Shopping online is very convenient and saves time."
Ian and Tabitha Jerolmack of Stonecipher Farm in Bowdoinham have taken the restaurant angle. When they started farming, they participated in a few markets and sold CSA shares, but quickly realized they'd have to do more in order to make it.
"We were new and small and that was limiting because there were so many of us," Ian says. "Veggie vendors really have to get creative in order to stand out."
When they got a spot in the Portland farmers' market, they saw restaurants as an opportunity to move the produce that didn't sell at the market. They started cold-calling restaurants and made connections with chefs.
"A lot of good business came out of it," he says. "Now, I have a reciprocal relationship with the restaurants; we take care of each other."
Other farmers use that foodie-economy tactic too, but Mary Ellen and Austin Chadd of Green Spark Farm in Cape Elizabeth returned to a traditional approach to give their customers more access to their product. They opened a self-serve, honor-system vegetable stand. The stand, at 316 Fowler Road, is open between 8 am and 8 pm.
Mary Ellen said the vegetable stand is another step in adjusting to meet the needs of the customer. "We didn't open the stand because we knew it would make us a certain percentage of income, we opened the stand because people asked," she said. "It's a different experience from the market . . . and we are excited by it."
When Sarah Trask and Pete Engler of Small Wonder Organics in Bowdoinham started farming in 2010, they grew rare, heirloom tomatoes — a lot of them. To sell the tomatoes that didn't move at the farmers' markets, they created a tomato CSA called the Tomato Passion Club, now in its third year. Each week (for seven weeks) the customer picks up a box of tomatoes. Trask says she encourages CSA members to contact one another and share tomato recipes — to form a community.
While Trask hopes her CSA members will connect, Sarah Wiederkehr and Steve Burger of Winter Hill Farm in Freeport are working on making connections with other farmers. In addition to growing flowers and vegetables, the couple operates a creamery that produces milk, yogurt, and cheeses. And they've partnered with Frith Farm in Scarborough and Little Ridge Farm in Lisbon Falls to offer farm customers a weekly CSA dairy share.
"A lot of people are looking for a one-stop shop for all of their local products and this is a good way to consolidate the effort," Wiederkehr says. "This way (customers) can buy their meat and eggs and produce from Frith and their dairy from us."

Checked the big box a dozen times, if something like the pedals are missing, one is going to make real sure they are not in the box or fell out on opening etc. The box the bike comes in had no holes so one has to presume that this smaller box never was included at the time of packaging. And yes I agree about the SRAM/Shimano compatability, one being 1:1 and the other 1:2 ratio, looks like my solution will not work, hope the mech can untwist the SRAM rear derailer, just called him, it will shift up but is jerky when shifting down, so getting close. It remains to be said that one should not need to go through this when buying from a company.
