May 14, 2013 at 10:35 am #1302914
I'm not an avid hiker, but am a gear junkie. I have several different packs for various purposes and hobbies. I am gearing up for a hiking trip to GNP this July. I was re-examining my pack and some things I plan to carry. What I've found is that backpacker packs are pretty straightforward – you buy a design for the components it has. I realize many here want light weight and mass volume. I understand that, but when you want to add extra stuff, how do you do it?
I have a tactical backpack, with molle attachments. I can add extra space when I need to. I can attach first aid kits outside my pack, so I don't take up my cargo space. I can add additional packs on the exterior for quick easy access to common need items. What's more, it makes smaller packs expandable for times I may go longer and need more. Right now, I'm simply trying to figure out how I want to carry my bear spray. I have a molle attachable case that will hold the bottle, but no way to attach that anywhere on my kit – shoulder straps or waist band. It won't do any good in my pack when momma bear is galloping towards me.
What modular back packs are out there for a 40-60 L pack? Why haven't the major brand developers adopted the molle concept? Seems to me there is a design opportunity.May 14, 2013 at 10:38 am #1986022

Why We Don't Have Modular Packs
Most UL packs are designed to carry 35 pounds or less. They save weight by not having heavy hipbelts and suspensions. So even if you added a lot of accessories there would be a limit to how much they could haul. The Molle is a cool idea but even stripped down its going to be a lot heavier then a typical UL pack.
There are a few UL packs with removable accessories but none take it as far as the Molle. The HMG Porter and McHale packs both have removable pockets for example.
How To Carry Bear Spray
One easy way to carry your bear spray is put it in the elastic holster it comes with and attach that to your belt or pack with a cheap carabiner. That has worked for me when I carried bear spray. I prefer to hang if off my pants belt not my pack. That way it is always in the same place whether I have my pack on or not. Another option is the chest harness that UDAP makes.May 14, 2013 at 11:00 am #1986030
"Why haven't the major brand developers adopted the molle concept?"
Because it adds unnecessary weight.
You can add pockets that connect to the side compression straps for any pack. IN addition, many packs in the lightweight realm come with front pockets already so very little requirement to add additional volume. When not in use, the front pockets lay flat.
With respect to your bear spray, I carry mine in my side pocket (water holster) and it can me out in 1/2 a second.May 14, 2013 at 12:33 pm #1986046

Because anything you might need to get to quickly can be placed in the large outer pocket that most packs have or the hip belt pockets.
Backpackers don't need organized pouches for magazines, grenades, or any specialized equipment and spending an extra 2 seconds finding something isn't going to result in our death.
The molle system is mostly a combat vest thing anyways.May 14, 2013 at 1:03 pm #1986053

granite gear has had molle on their hipbelts (civilian packs)for a few years, with their own pouches.
there new backpacks (civilian)for this year have molle on the pack body.May 14, 2013 at 8:30 pm #1986166

I generally don't like to carry things outside my pack because I'd be concerned about dropping something along the way.

I've used Molle gear but I wouldn't use it for backpacking or for traveling for a couple of reasons:
1. As mentioned above, way to heavy
2. Around the U.S. isn't a problem but when I travel outside of the country, I don't want to look like GI Joe for safety reasons.May 14, 2013 at 10:47 pm #1986217

I have an REI Cruise UL 60 (predecessor to the Flash 60).
Aftermarket side pockets and a Dana Wet Rib front pouch are what I deem necessary to both expand the capacity of the pack and put needed items ready to hand. My side pockets are never more than 3/4 full but they keep things like 1st aid kit, stove bag, fuel, water treatment bag (Steripen, extra battery & chlorine dioxide tabs), potty bag and toiletries kit all outside the pack where I want them. No digging through a main compartment for TP and potty trowel/snow stake.
The Wet Rib pouch carries my bike bottle W/ electrolyte drink, compass, snacks, a mini PT Scout headlamp, etc.
On my shoulder straps are two small zippered pouches. Left side is for the GPS, in the right side rides my Olympus TG 1 waterproof camera. Close at hand and ready. The tiny factory pouches on the waistbelt are (barely) big enough for extra coin batteries for the headlamp and a Swede Firesteel W/ tinder in a snack bag.
If your pack carries all you need without side pockets, pouches, "etc." and without straining the seams then fine. I'll carry a few extra pocket ounces for the conveniance and expanded capacity. As my food bag diminishes I could always remove the side pockets and put them inside the pack – but I never do in the summer. In winter other detatchable pockets for my backcountry ski pack often ride inside unles I'm doing overnighters and need more space in the main pack.
I'm probably going to make my own lighter Dyneema fabric side pockets and Wet Rib. Just having trouble finding the right shade of mauve.
That's my case for extra pockets and pouches. Not minimalist for sure but always useful.
HYOH and Carry Your Own Style Pack.

Eric, I like your approach. This is more of what I was thinking. I have a 40L pack and was looking it over for space to store non-clothing items. My main compartment is large enough, but then it will contain most everything I plan to pack. That doesn't seem the best use of space. There is a reason the military have molle on all their packs.
"The molle system is mostly a combat vest thing anyways." I have to totally disagree with this comment. As the acronym goes – Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment. The molle system is used on all military issued gear. It allows you to start small and expand your setup based on your activity/mission. Yes, it adds weight, but I'm sure the backpacking manufacturer's can find ways to lighten the design. And while having a molle attachable pack in OD green or some Camo pattern may indeed look "tactical", again, I'm sure the look can be civilianized.
I will look into some of the manufacturer's listed for future reference. Thanks for the input.May 15, 2013 at 9:24 am #1986327
Adam – does your pack have side compression straps? At least two? Then there is no need for Molle. Look to Granite Gear for their Armoured Pockets – they will fit any pack with two side compression straps. This way you don't have to get a pack with Molle, which don't exist in the lightweight pack realm.May 15, 2013 at 10:06 am #1986342

Usually backpacks that are not too minimal will have one or two daisy chains of webbing running along the outer edges of the front of the pack. This is sufficient for lashing or hanging anything outside should the occasion arise. True MOLLE is a nice system if you plan on putting stuff on the outside of your pack all the time, but is overkill if it is only used some of the time. Also, heavy.
Most people, I gather, would rather carry as much as possible inside the pack rather than the outside for several reasons, including better balance (stuff isn't swinging around), lighter weight (less materials) and not getting snagged on branches or rocks.May 15, 2013 at 10:49 am #1986361

You have people here cutting the extra webbing off their waist belts and other pack straps, so adding MOLLE webbing is a step in the wrong direction. Add-on pockets add an extra wall plus the attachments, zippers, Velcro, etc, so they are heavy for the capacity gained, and they aren't cheap.
IMHO, MOLLE is designed to attach heavy stuff— far more than anything an UL hiker would normally add, so it is overkill at any rate. There is nothing in my pack that weighs as much as a couple grenades, loaded rifle magazines or other battle gear that is typically hung on MOLLE webbing. I rarely run, roll, crawl on the ground, grind my pack up against rough walls, or enter and exit vehicles or aircraft in a hurry with heavy loads. I don't need split-second access to my gear.
Outer pack attachments tend to catch on brush and other trail hazards. Stuff hung on the outside of a pack tends to sway and bounce, using up more energy and more opportunity for chafing and general clumsiness.
The pack I use has a top pocket and waist belt pockets already. That is more than enough, if not too much, for trail-side convenience and organization. Most of the add-on pockets offered for UL packs are designed to add a snack, compass, sunscreen, or other small light items.
So that is my take on why you don't see MOLLE webbing on UL packs.
If volume is a consistent problem, I would go with a slightly larger pack with good compression features so you can shrink it a bit when not fully loaded. It will always be lighter and less expensive to have a larger pack body than adding pockets.May 15, 2013 at 11:11 am #1986371

I can personally carry everything I need for the day in my hip belt pockets including, food, compass, maps, etc. I can throw a rain jacket into a large external mesh pocket if the weather is getting cruddy. My pack is more or less packed with my day's schedule in reverse in that the items I won't need until the evening are at the bottom (e.g. sleeping bag, then food bag, etc. I've carried my fair share of 50lbers and even more than that in an Alice pack; I have no great desire to return to those weights unless I'm on some sort of an expedition with little to no support. Even then, the weight penalty of ballistic nylon/Molle isn't something that would be incorporated into my kit.
HYOH, my friend has a Molle pack (Maxpedition maybe?) he really likes for backpacking. Maxpedition, Blackhawk, 5.11, et al make great durable gear but they are more than double the weight and the same or more financial cost of my incoming Ohm 2.0; I don't really see that they offer me anything to justify the weight penalty but YMMV.May 15, 2013 at 12:09 pm #1986391

I am curious about what aftermarket side pockets you are using. I am still searching for the side pocket solution that fits my hiking. I am particularly interested in side pockets that do not interfere with access to the main pack compartment, and that do not easily snag when going through close quarters.

Okay, the idea that external pouches or attachments would create instability or get snagged makes some sense. However, molle locks down pretty darn tight, but could create crevaces that could snag a branch or something.
Davey, my pack does have compression straps. I'm working with the Solaris, by TNF. The weight is good and compartments worked for what I wanted. The pack doesn't have much to work with on the straps and waist belt doesn't have a pocket. These are the primary points I'd like to attach small items. The waist belt will block access to my pants belt, so I loose another access point. I will check out the website you mentioned and see if anything may work.
FWIW, my 40l pack will hold everything I plan to pack. I am a dayhiker making frequent stops with kids and thus will be in and out at each interval. Otherwise, I'd pack bottom to top and not worry about a thing. My pack will be working like a diaper bag, only my kids are 9 and 11! : )

I own a kifaru Zulu G2, this thing has molle everywhere. I can say that the suspension is great. I've attached water bottle pouches and two small molle pouches on the belt. I also got the xtl lid. Problem is that the belt and lid are not included in the weights listed on their site. I went out for 2 nights and carried food for 4 days in a BV450 just to see what I could cram in there. I weighed myself on a bathroom scale before leaving. With the pack full and on I was 30 pounds heavier. The bag carried great and I had all this molle to add more stuff, I thought to myself "Great!"
When I got back I bought a digital travel scale you can use for weighing carry on by hanging it off a hook. The kifaru with all the pouches and beefy lid weighed 7.5 pounds! I threw on the large back pouch pocket and gps pouch and the weight went to 8.3 pounds! So essentially I had 23.5 pounds in there and 7.5 of that was food and the canister (yeah about a 15-16lb base weight so shoot me). Long story short there are plenty of packs around 3 pounds and under that can carry 25 pounds pretty easily so I just ordered a ULA Catalyst, which has massive side pockets and a large pocket on the front as well as hip belt pockets. I'm guessing these pockets will help me organize and grab stuff on the go pretty well . . .

Just developed the probably first php.ini hack to add commands which will only be parsed before PHP 5.3 when using mod_php.
# Disable eAccelerator by default
eaccelerator.enable = 0
# Now, to prevent incompatibilities with Zend Optimizer+, we
# want to enable eAccelerator only in PHP 5.2 or lower.
eaccelerator.enable = 1
What is happening here? In PHP 5.3, php.ini sections to set up PHP on a per host basis have been introduced:
These sections only work in CGI/FastCGI mode, however there still seems to be a difference in how the php.ini file is parsed in PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3 when using mod_php: PHP 5.3 ignores everything below the line [HOST=*], whereas PHP 5.2 does not.
In the above example, PHP 5.3 only reads "eaccelerator.enable = 0" and then stops at the invalid command [HOST=*]. However, PHP 5.2 seems to ignore the invalid command and parses the whole configuration file, ending up with "eaccelerator.enable = 1".

Powell Butte house fire's cause undetermined
Officials suspect smoke alarm wasn't working
POWELL BUTTE, Ore. - A Powell Butte couple whose mobile home erupted in fire early Wednesday escaped through a bedroom window but suffered serious burns officials said Thursday, adding that they have been unable to determine the cause of the blaze.
Crook County Fire & Rescue responded to the blaze shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday at 7700 SW Stillman Road, said Fire Marshal Casey Kump. They arrived to find the single-wide mobile home (with addition) fully ablaze.
The couple renting the home fled through the bedroom window and were taken to St. Charles Medical Center-Redmond, Kump said. They did not have renters insurance and are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross.
"The cause will remain undetermined," Kump said, as "several points of interest were unable to be proven, due to the degree of destruction incurred."
The couple, who fire authorities did not identify due to privacy regulations, reported going to bed around 10:30 p.m. The man said he was awakened by the smell of smoke, opened the bedroom door to the living room and was overwhelmed by the smoke and heat.
Around that time, Kump said, a neighbor heard crackling noises, saw the fire and called 911.
Kump said he was unaware if the home had working smoke alarms, but they likely "would have given advance notice and prevented injuries."
Losses are estimated at $40,000, the fire marshal said.
The fire marshal noted that next week is Fire Prevention Week, and two things children are taught in the "Firebusters" program are "know two ways out," and sleeping with bedroom doors closed (which limits ventilation that can cause fires to grow). "It protects rooms and buys time," Kump said.

Announce: flag spams in trackers
Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Tue Nov 14 16:44:25 2006.
You may have already notice that you are now able to flag as spam comments and items in the Savane trackers.
This feature is still experimental and a recipe will be added soon to explain exactly how it works (each comment and item have a spam score, users have also a spam score that impact the score of items they post - when an item spam score is higher than 4, it is considered as spam by the software).
Currently, Gna! does not seems to be affected by spams on trackers, unlike some others servers running Savane, most probably because it is a default on most trackers to disallow anonymous post.
The ability given to logged in users to flag as spam items and comments is only a part of ongoing developments in regard of the spam nuisance.
Obviously, this is really to report spams, not to express disagreement in a hot discussion (flaming?) with another guy about a bug :)
|Now covered by a recipe (posted by Mathieu Roy, Wed Nov 15 14:35:43 2006)

When a social movement gets its own high-profile celebrity poster child, you know it must be hot. Enter Chaz Bono, the pop-culture flash of the explosion of all things transgender in our national consciousness. And Chaz is not the only new trans figure on our glowing screens. Less than two years ago, in November 2009, a Wikipedia list of transgender characters on television had 20 entries; now it has 36.
Another thing: trans-positive change is making headlines. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health just released a major revision of its Standards of Care — the guidelines therapists and surgeons follow when working with trans patients — that significantly lowers the number and height of the hurdles people face when seeking gender transition. Meanwhile, the state of New York is considering whether to provide Medicaid coverage for sexual reassignment surgery, and even Walmart, hardly known for its progressive stance on human resources, recently added transgender protections to its employee non-discrimination policy.
Clearly my perception that trans is happening, right now, is not based just on the gee-whiz factor of my own ongoing transition. The evidence confirms that the T of LGBT, long marginalized and misunderstood, is now emerging as its own unique issue and movement. At the same time the experience of being trans is also changing, as trans folk find more information, support, and community available to them than ever before. Each level of change informs and impels the other, in a fascinating interplay between personal narrative and substantial advances in our society, culture, and institutions.
Political expression
The biggest trans story ever in Maine is undoubtedly the saga of LD 1046, a bill introduced in the Maine Legislature in December 2010. LD 1046 sought to roll back protections for trans-identified people that, in 2005, had been added to the Maine Human Rights Act (a referendum failed to overturn its legislative passage and gubernatorial signature). Had the bill become law, forcing a trans person to use a bathroom or locker room matching that person's physical sex at birth would no longer have been considered discrimination in Maine. (The Legislature voted it down in June.)
The bill was introduced by Republican Representative Kenneth Fredette of Newport, because, according to his testimony before the Legislature's Judiciary Committee on April 12, while serving on the Maine Human Rights Commission he had disagreed with two commission decisions in favor of trans individuals. Both were findings of discrimination against entities that had prevented a male-to-female transgender person from using a women's or girls' restroom: one a Denny's restaurant in Auburn, the other an Orono elementary school.
The power of personal narrative can move in curious ways. In this case, two individual stories triggered a reactionary response, which in turn triggered a large-scale counter-response. Fredette's bill aroused the focused attention of Equality Maine, Maine's oldest and largest LGBT organization. In recent years EQME's main issue has been the push for recognition of same-sex marriage in the state; but when LD 1046 blipped onto the radar, says Ali Vander Zanden, EQME political director, the organization saw it as a pressing concern and spearheaded the opposition.

II thought about this idea a while ago, about a multiple character platformer game where the player controls a few characters.
The (current) game idea is as follow :
1) The player starts with a character and he can save more character as he progress.
2) Each character get a timer, which will deplete when the player use that character.
3) When all the character finish their timer, the turn ends. Each turn will cost the player resource(Battery) and it is important to gather those battery.
4) The game is room based and to exit the room, The player must turn on certain switches and get all his/her characters to the end point.
5) Each room will provide the player with opportunity to get items/power-up/equipment but will cost the player extra time from their characters.
I toyed around with the multiple character ideas but it seems like something is missing from the game that makes it interesting and fun. I am too close to the game to see the bigger picture so maybe someone can point out the real problems, but first let me state some of the problems I had with the game.
1) The game is too slow paced. Having to switch character every 20 secs or so kind of break the momentum of platforming game. To counter this, I tried another mechanic. In the new mechanic, the battery will run down as the character deplete its timer. This means that each battery provide one character with one recharge instead of recharging the entire team. This makes the game more fast paced but reduce the need for having more than one character, which bring us to the next point.
2) There isn't a need for more than one character. I can't seems to make this part work without make it into a puzzle game.
3) Problem with having enemies. If the game have enemy, then it might attack the player's non-active characters. I am not really sure how to go about dealing with this or is this the "player's problem" like how RTS don't care if your units are being attack while you are building your base. Having no enemy makes the game too static.
4) Repeating task. If I put my end point away from my start point, then the player need to perform the same actions, walk the same paths for every character to reach the end point. I kind of find this frustrating. If I put the start point near the end point, then the challenges of having multiple character is totally removed. I could start all the characters at random positions but I am not quite sure if that should be the way to go.
I know that this post is too long so for those people with not much time
tl;dr : My platformer game with multiple controllable characters is having some fundamental design problems.
Maybe the idea can't be saved so just go on and flame me for that =P, but if you have any good idea or tried this before, please point out some of the major issue with this.

text: This will bet first year at raising a few queens. I know the warmer the better and you must have drones. My question is, What is the coolest weather a person could have to start grafs? I will start them in 5 frame nucs and have ample bees. Our weather has cooled back down. Next week is suppose to be inid 60's for highs and mid 30's at nights. I'm just curious necaise I'm getting alote restless. The drones are flying and I chomping at the bit to get going. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all you more experienced beekeepers


text: This month, I'll be performing my first cutout out of an old abandoned shed in the middle of the woods. I want to transfer the bees directly into a langstroth hive. How can I make sure I get all the bees from the cutout? Can I leave the hive in the area of the cutout and the stragglers will make there way in?

Very nice apartment which had pretty much everything we needed. Lovely high ceilings and a quiet residential neighbourhood. Location is great and we were able to use the hop on off bus Red Line stop 8 for Augarten to get into the Ring with the Vienna Pass. From the airport take the S bahn to Praterstern station and fro there a taxi is 8 euro to the apartment.
The 5 tram runs every 5 minutes and connects to the U bahn in 2 stops. There is a Billa and Lidl within 2 minutes walk from the front door.
Host was in apartment on arrival and then left us to enjoy the delights of the city. Would definitely stay here again.
Only suggestions would be a little more information about tram timetables and amenities in the area in English. A microwave would be a welcome addition to the kitchen.
Very clean, nice and complete appartment. With large rooms, large (and good) beds) and spacious hall. We stayed here with two adults and two older children. They very appreciated the excellent Wifi connection. A great location to be in the centre quickly, with tramstops and metro nearby. So its very easy not only to reach the centre of town, but also Schonbrunn and the Prater park. We could rent a garage as well, which proved very handy. Within a few minutes walk you can reach supermarkets and bakeries. Real perfect. No negative points at all! And last but not least: the appartment is easy to find, and Gisella was there to give us a warm welcome and took time to give us tips and information.
Perfect place for a family with two children.
We had an absolute lovely stay at the apartment! It is very spacious, clean, comfi beds, great showers and house and kitchen have ALL the amenities needed, so you don't need to bring anything along, which is great! Gisella and Pia are lovely and cheerful home owners, very relaxed and trusting. We thoroughly enjoyed Vienna, it is very easy to reach the city center by subway. The adjecent park is lovely to visit too! Hope to come back one day
Excellent Place, perfect for our needs here in Vienna.
We are six doctors who have a meeting every year for discussions. Nice big kitchen suitibale for all of us and our discussions, but also bedroms en modern bathrooms. A calm area, nice park and not too long walk to the city.
Gisella is a very nice and kind hostess.
We can strongly recommend this fancy apartment!

Just returned from four great easter days in Wienna.
The apartment fully met our expectations. Bright, clean, spacious, quiet and perfect location.
Gisella was a very helpful host. Told us about things to see, good restaurants and how to get around.
She also helped to get a new bed. The sofa was not very plesant for our tall young peple, travelling with us. So a suggestion would be to change the sofa to a real bed :-)
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Superb Apartment, best decision ever to switch from hotel to apartment.
Gisella is the ideal host, very friendly, good tips and helpful where needed.
Vienna is a very nice city and can be reached from the apartment easily with public transportation, even after midnight when only the underground service is available (10 min walk). Thanks to this apartment we enjoyed Vienna twice and we will definitely come back.
My friends and I had a very pleasant stay in Vienna. The appartment has a lot of charme. A nice old building, but the accommodation itself is modern, spacy and quiet. Gisella informed us nicely about all relevant aspects. We can highly recommend the appartment(s).

A stronger New Zealand dollar swamped further gains in world prices for export commodities last month.
ANZ's commodity price index rose 0.3 per cent in world price terms to a 10-month high, its sixth consecutive monthly gain.
But with the exchange rate rising 0.7 per cent against the US dollar, and 1.2 per cent on a trade-weighted basis, the ANZ index fell 0.5 per cent in New Zealand dollar terms, to be 10 per cent down on January last year.
Dairy products, which make up 43 per cent of the index, rose 0.4 per cent last month on world markets, led by skim milk powder and butter.
But beef prices fell one per cent and lamb prices edged lower by 0.25 per cent.
Log prices rose two per cent, but aluminium fell two per cent from December's eight-month high.
The differing fortunes of different sectors is mirrored in the responses to Federated Farmers' twice-yearly confidence surveys.
Last July, when dairy prices were at their low point, a net 45 per cent of dairy farmers expected their profitability to worsen.
But since then prices in Fonterra's fortnightly auctions have improved by 27 per cent and the co-operative has revised up its payout forecasts.
In the latest survey a net 8 per cent of dairy farmers still expect profitability to worsen but that is an improvement of 37 points on the previous survey. By contrast a net 53 per cent of sheep and beef farmers expect profitability to decline, down from a net 37 per cent last July.
"Although beef and wool prices have held up, lamb prices are down 35 per cent on this time last year," Federated Farmers said.
Spending intentions reflect the shift in outlook. A net 10 per cent of sheep and beef farmers expect to cut spending, where six months earlier the outlook was flat.
But a net 12 per cent of dairy farmers expect to lift spending, where a net one per cent expected to cut back in the July 2012 survey.
The survey found commodity prices and the exchange rate were farmers' two largest concerns, in both cases to a greater extent than last July.
"Although there are some who want intervention in the exchange rate," Federated Farmers said, "more accept that there is little the Government can do to directly control it, especially when it is being influenced mainly by global events."

This is a terrific piece. And do not accept any less than the agreed on price. She is absolutely getting a bargain at that.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This is a terrific piece. And do not accept any less than the agreed on price. She is absolutely getting a bargain at that.
It is priceless and will be treasured forever. Does she not like it or what? What is her problem. $200 is very reasonable.
wow.... I agree it is worth more then $60.00
I guess that is why they say we need a written contract....
200 sounds good to me.
let us know how you make out
I totally agree, she is trying to get that lovely wall hanging for a song. People who do not quilt have no idea of the costs, time, and work that goes into something so beautiful. If she won't pay the $126 then tell her you are sorry but you can't let it go for less than that and keep it for yourself. Let her try to find something half that nice for less than $150!!!
Families are like old quilts....although they tend to unravel at times...each can be stitched back together with love.
I can't believe your client only wants to pay you $60 for a custom made quilt that is quite beautiful. At the pre-discussed $126 she is getting a bargain. I agree with the others in that it is worth at least $200. Do not let this person take if for less than $126. If she balks, then sell it on Etsy or e-bay for $200 because it is definitely worth that. It is lovely.
too bad all this had happened but next time i would make sure i had it in writing its very pretty people dont realize how much is involved in making quilts
I am so sorry you are having this experience; it takes a lot of work and time to make a quilt and if she agreed to a price beforehand then she should stick to that. I beleive the $126 is more than reasonable and she should actually be offering you more, I agree that if she is not willing to pay then just keep it or put it up for sale or what you feel you would like to do with it. Very detailed and lots of time spent with materials plus your design, you did a wonderful job!
I would charge $300.00 or more. You did a lot of extra work on that quilt. Other quilters will charge extra for the other things you did. You need to charge for "stress fee" also for sewing the grandfathers fabrics in the quilt. Truly some people don't realize the time, effort and energy that goes into a quilt.
I agree with all the others. She couldn't get a posterboard personalized framed collage for $60! She's shopped at Walmart too long. Keep it & sell it on ebay. I wouldn't take a penny less than $200 for it. And you only had 3 weeks to design & make it? She's delusional.
Do you have a log of how many hours you put in? Minimum, $10 per hour? I'm sure it's more than 20 hours.

What is in this article?:
- Engineers' Perspectives on Hospital Ventilation
- Survey Design
- Implications
- SIDEBAR: What Does Volume Have to Do With It?
Health-care HVAC design engineers are familiar with "the table," a list of space types, pressure requirements, temperatures, and air-change-per-hour (ACH) rates. The table's format, columns, and keynotes, as well as many of its entries, date from more than 25 years ago. In 1987, long before the era of sustainability and energy awareness in which we find ourselves, it appeared in the first edition of "Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospital and Health Care Facilities,"1 published by The American Institute of Architects. Today, it is the responsibility of ASHRAE, which maintains the table as ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170, Ventilation of Health Care Facilities.
By requiring total ACH rates, the table encourages constant air volume (CAV) with reheat, perhaps the least energy-efficient central air system possible.2 The core principle—reheating, or simultaneously heating and cooling, air—is prohibited in most spaces by modern energy codes. California, for example, restricted CAV-with-reheat zones as far back as 1981.3 In the United States, unlike other countries, though, health-care spaces often are exempt.
This has a significant impact on energy use. Inpatient health-care facilities are the second most energy-intensive building type in the United States (Figure 1), with heating (including reheat), cooling, and ventilation accounting for 52 percent of their energy use.4
Kaiser Permanente's Facilities Planning & Design engineers speak with many consulting engineers about health-care design. Some consulting engineers say they feel "handcuffed" by the ventilation standard ("We could achieve so much energy efficiency, if only we could change the ventilation rates"), while others believe the ventilation rates are akin to a moral imperative ("If the code says 6 ACH, anything less endangers patients"). Wanting a better sense of these engineers' thoughts, we conducted a survey.

Starter cert?
I want to start my way into the pen testing field but, im kinda lost in the dark with all the certs going on, i dont know from which to start, i know this may be asked 200 times a day but well, have to ask, sorry about it!.

Hey Lucy,
The only time I am semi-dangerous is when I am driving the jeep thing, otherwise it is open season on Quaker.
Building stuff
Yes, that is something that should be a team work thing. Also, when you got to build something look at the bottom of the screen as it will tell you if there are any close by so you don't duplicate needlessly. Watch the forum legends because they all play way better than me, I am basically just a knucklehead running around the digital battlefiedl shooting at orange dorrito's.
Pure nonsense. You are one of the main players that plague me on Wednesdays and are quite capable.

(Inside Joke for you Pilgrim if you get it)
I like narrows Map for dm but at the same time i don't tend to do as good because some certain person named pilgrim mine **bleep** me the whole game. haha I don't like orbital at all so im not really sure what is left for maps and modes but i might go with outlands for dm if you can. I never host so i don't know the configs without turning the game on. But at this point pilgrim i will get back to you monday.
Whoever was talking about pod kills on flying hawks. There was a clan battle BHD did once and I hit a flying hawk with my pod after launching from a pod launcher. It was caught on video for urgent fury but i can't find it.
Oh I get it!
Ok so the challenge will be the deathmatch round and you have to win it to win the challenge, plain and simple.
There is a DM on outlands that would work fine, yes phoenix he said outlands (your favorite one ).
I may make the kill limit 75 instead of 50 though, if that sounds good to you.
Re: Starhawk Wednesday Community Event and Weekly Challenge!
75 at the same time limit as before sounds great. You know me i would rather have unlimited kills and 30mins but i will save lee all the frustrations. Don't say i didn't ever do anything for ya lee. LOL!
Thats right pilgrim phoenix hates that map. She not gonna be happy with me.
So outlands, winner takes all, 75 kill limit, same time limit as weeks before in DM.

AISB Quarterly Submissions and Suggestions
Click here to go straight to submissions guidelines.
There are several ways that you can contribute to the Quarterly:
- Send us ideas of general topic areas that you think should be covered and (if possible) the names of people in these areas who could join our Editorial Board. Feel free to volunteer yourself: see the job description below.
- If there are features or columns that you'd like to see, but that don't fit the existing format, please let the Editor know what you have in mind.
- If you are aware of particular projects that should be covered, or particular people who would write good articles, please let the Editor know. (We just need a name and affiliation/e-mail address or URL).
- If you would like to write an article about your own work, please get in touch. If your proposal is accepted, you will be asked to submit according to the deadlines and submissions guidelines below
- If you would like to write a book review, or plan to submit a conference report, please check out our special guidelines.
The AISBQ is issued in the first week of the quarter (January, April, July, October). Whatever you would like to contribute, the list below explains roughly when we need your input for a particular edition.
For the exact dates, please contact the Editor.
Editorial Board and feature suggestions
Deadline: 16 weeks from issue.
Author/project suggestions
Deadline: 12 weeks from issue.
Article submission deadline
Deadline: 7 weeks in from issue.
Editorial Board Member: Job Description
To join our board, simply check to see that no-one in the Editorial Board is currently covering your topic area, and then contact the Editor. What we will ask you to do is as follows:
- Every time you go to a conference, send us the details of at least one good paper that you think would interest the general AISB audience.
- Every time you are asked (once a quarter) send at least one suggestion of an author/group/project who should be covered in the newsletter.
- As they occur to you (could be never!) send ideas for new features, suggest areas that are not covered sufficiently, submit names of potential Editorial Board members.
NB: You can do the job for as long or as short a period as you like. However, if you fail to submit a suggestion for two quarters in a row you will be taken off the list.
Submissions Guidelines: Checklist
- Send both an electronic version and hardcopy to the Editor.
- Make sure to keep text and figures in separate files: and figures should never be inside Word documents.
- Don't send a LaTeX file unless the codes are stripped out
- If you're sending ASCII text, make sure you've used our codes for special characters.
- Don't e-mail large (more than 1 or 2Mb) files without checking first.
- Make sure your references are in the right style.
- Keep formatting to a minimum.
- Send colour figures only if a) you think colour is really important and you want them in colour in the electronic version of the Quarterly and b) you have checked that they look OK in black and white!
Your article should be aimed at people within Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behavior but who are not in your particular discipline. Bear in mind that this includes a very disparate collection of people: some will have computer science backgrounds, some electrical and electronic engineering, others cognitive science, psychology or medicine. The article should:
- Explain the application and context of your work in the wider sense (1-2 paragraphs)
- Focus on it's position within your general discipline (1-2 paragraphs)
- Explain the actual project in general terms (2-3 paragraphs)
- Describe the results and conclude (2-3 paragraphs).
This is based on the ideal 100 word paragraph.
As you see, we don't want much, just about 800 words including figure captions and references. The article should be accompanied by one or two figures that help explain your work, and for which you hold copyright.
You should submit text both electronically (by e-mail) in the format described in the next section, and as either hard copy (by snail-mail to the Editor) or as a .pdf file with fonts included. This way everything can be double-checked. Before sending anything, however, please make sure that your files are in the correct electronic format.
Essentially unformatted text is required: please don't bother to try to make it look pretty (no centered titles, complicated margins/tabs, justified text etc). It's going to appear in a completely different form, so the main thing is just to get the data across.
If your text file is in any standard wordprocessing (like Word, Wordperfect, Rich Text Format etc.) format, it should be easy to convert. But please keep things simple by doing the following:
- If you have to specify a font in the document, use Times 14 pt if you can (or another standard laserwriter font if you can't).
- Don't put the text and figures in the same file, or show us where to place the figures. Just provide "callouts" (such as "see Figure 1") in the text, and put captions at the end. With the caption, please include the figure file name as follows:
Figure 1: {bainsfig1.jpeg} Shown is the set-up for the real time camera system...
- Use real numbers (not Word relative numbering) for the references (and follow the reference guidelines).
Non-standard elements often get lost when they are converted, so give us a text conversion key to avoid embarrassing errors (such as microseconds being turned into milliseconds). This way, we can figure out what you meant if the characters change en route, and we can see if there is a problem with characters going missing.
- At the top of the document, list any non-standard characters you have used in the text (use the actual character), and then spell them out surrounded by a single set of curly brackets. For instance:
$ = {dollar sign}
lower-case lambda = {lambda)
upper-case delta = {DELTA}
e-grave = {e grave}
Sorry, by definition real special characters don't show up properly in html. (The dollar sign is only included to show the form required.)
If you cannot supply text in one of the wordprocessing formats listed above (ask if you're not sure whether your format will work), please supply a raw ASCII file. ASCII-users must take care of special characters by encoding them as {DELTA}, etc., throughout the text. In addition, ASCII-users must make sure that super and subscripts are correctly labelled.
- Use double curly brackets around characters which should be subscript. Eg. TEM{{00}} and LiNbO{{3}}.
- Use triple curly brackets around characters which should be superscript. Eg. 10{{{-12}}} or {psi}{{{*}}}.
If you are having trouble precisely specifying mathematical symbols, looking at the relevant Unicode charts may help. Just specify which character you need in which table of which chart.
LaTeX users: if you can avoid it, don't use LaTeX. If you absolutely have to, please make sure to strip out all codes except those referring to text features and foreign characters such as those listed above. LaTeX conventions for italic, subscript etc. are OK.
In the text they should be represented as superscript, with the number after any comma or period that happens to appear at the same place. In the listing at the end they should be written as follows:
For a paper:
1. C. C. Wu, J. C. Sturm, R. A. Register and M. E. Thompson, Integrated three-colour organic light-emitting devices, Appl. Phys. Lett. 69 (21), p 3117, 18 November 1996.
For a book:
1. J. Astola and P. Kuosmanen, Fundamentals of Nonlinear Digital Filtering, CRC Press LLC, Boca Raton, 1997.
Note, in the examples given there are no quote marks anywhere and the commas are italic or emboldened with the text that precedes them. Also, only include the details of the place/date of a conference if you have no proceedings or volume number. Book editors should also be omitted for proceedings (not for ordinary books) where the correct volume information is supplied.
Do not send figures as part of a wordprocessing (especially Word) file: this almost never works well. Send each figure as an separate file, preferably with your name in the filename (such as bainsfig1.tiff). Also, we cannot directly work with figures composed in Word: you will have to convert them, with sufficient resolution, yourself.
Make sure the figures are black and white. If they start as colour, save them as greylevel images so that: (a) you can see what they look like without colour, and (b) they will be smaller and therefore easier to send.
If you really want colour, provide a b/w figure for the newsletter and put a colour version of the figure on the web. Then, simply include the appropriate URL in the figure caption.
For electronic submissions, EPS format is preferred, although JPEG, PICT, and TIFF files are also usable (documents must be importable to PageMaker). Ask if there is something else you'd like to use. The ideal figure is greylevel with of the order of 400-1000 pixels on a side (but readable at 30% scale), and 200-500k in size. If it's more than 500k, you should ask yourself why!
Thanks for reading the guidelines!

The SP is about the same size as the P229 just lighter due to the polymer frame. Max mag capacity is 15 (depending on where you live). With the P228/229 you can use the higher capacity P226 mags as they will fit and work. I've got several 17 round P226 mags for my P228 and used the "X-Grip" plate to cover the gap at the base. Fully functional and cosmetically cleaner than having the naked mag extension stick out.
Since you work for a private firm, you may want to check into the policy before going the route of the P226 mag capacity in the P229 you currently have. If 15 is the max you can carry, then either you P229 or the SP will be fine. Comes down to weight and personal preference. The SP has one of THE most underrated triggers ever. After it breaks in, it only get better.

The National Dairy Farm magazine has grown to include the digital realm.
by Patti Hurtgen,
Hoard's Dairyman Online Media Manager
Sometimes we are so close to a topic that we often forget the values and assume everyone else is just as familiar with it as those who are so deeply entrenched. My responsibilities include the online content for Hoard's Dairyman and I am often asked what my duties include. I am a member of a team that creates the online content that is shared with producers worldwide.
Hoard's Dairyman has a well-establish history of providing dairy producers the significant details to help them make decisions. Known by sight for our large pages and bold red header, we are committed to content of the magazine.

Paige Announces 2004 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools
More than 250 of the nation's schools have been named 2004 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools, U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige announced last month.
The No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools program recognizes schools that are either academically superior in their states or demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement.
"For years, many of our underprivileged children were ignored and pre-judged, moved to the back of the room and quietly pushed through the system, with their scores hidden in averages," Secretary Paige said. "So we must change our approach, incentives and expectations. We must foster a climate of academic excellence, enabling all students to reach the highest levels of scholarship."
The schools are selected based on one of three criteria:
- Schools with at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that dramatically improve student performance on state tests, as determined by the chief state school officer;
- Schools whose students, regardless of background, achieve in the top 10 percent on state tests; and
- Private schools that achieve in the top 10 percent in the nation.
Under No Child Left Behind, schools must make adequate yearly progress (AYP) in reading/language arts and mathematics, as evidenced by state assessments. Each state sets its own academic standards and benchmark goals for AYP, deciding the criteria most appropriate for its school districts.
A complete list of this year's Blue Ribbon Schools is available at www.ed.gov/programs/nclbbrs/awards.html.
Blue-Ribbon Data
Surveys, Statistics and Self-Assessments Inform School's Efforts to Spur Student Achievement
If you ask for data, you had better be prepared to act on the findings. At least that's the thinking at Leland High School in San Jose, Calif. So when students responded in a survey that the most important contributor to good grades was participation in school activities, the faculty and administration seized the opportunity.
"It's hard to be active in school activities and forget about grades," noted Principal Bob Setterlund, whose school was honored last month as a 2004 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School. With more than 40 clubs and a full slate of athletic activities, students at Leland have ample opportunities to get involved.
Student performance demonstrates the link between involvement and academic success: the overall school grade point average (GPA) for grades 9 through 12 is just over 3.0, with more than 40 percent of the students carrying a GPA above 3.5. The school's combined SAT score for 2003 was 1161, and students took 685 Advanced Placement exams with a 70 percent passing rate.
Survey results are just one type of data integrated into the academic environment at Leland. The school's academic departments and cross-departmental committees assess schoolwide, classroom and student-specific data when developing strategies for improvement. These groups share responsibility for determining appropriate interventions, formulating strategic plans and evaluating progress.
One such strategy seeks to increase the achievement level of the school's ethnic minority students. With a state-based adequate yearly progress (AYP) target of 11.2 percent proficient in English/language arts and 9.6 percent in math for 2004, more than half of Leland's Hispanic students achieved at proficient levels (64.6 percent and 53.8 percent, respectively); and nearly all of the Asian-Pacific Islander students achieved at the same levels (88.0 percent and 94.7 percent, respectively). The two minorities comprise 54 percent of the 1,800-member student body.
Almost half of the school's economically disadvantaged students, comprising 6 percent of the student population, also ranked proficient on state exams (45.8 percent in both AYP categories). Altogether, these scores contributed to Leland High School being the only school in the San Jose Unified School District to achieve all of its AYP targets in 2004.
A significant amount of data used by the school is student-specific, including self-assessments. During their freshman and sophomore years students take a number of online assessments to determine their interests, learning styles and personality characteristics. They also explore different careers and look at their options for continuing their education or receiving vocational training after high school.
At the end of their sophomore year, students meet one-on-one with their advisers and plan their junior and senior year courses based on their interests and goals following graduation. By senior year, each student has a college portfolio and has received assistance writing essays and preparing for interviews through a four-year program that is integrated into the social science and English curricula.
"Students need help selecting a college that meets their needs," explained Joan Albers, the career center coordinator. "It doesn't matter so much that they go to a big-name school. It matters that they get to college and that they be successful when they are there." Last year, 93 percent of Leland's graduates went on to postsecondary education.
Though the statistics are impressive, Setterlund keeps going back to student involvement as a key indicator of success. "When everyone is involved in something, we will have achieved what we are after," he said.
Involvement is encouraged as early as the summer before students enter the ninth grade and continues through their senior year. Link Crew members, junior and senior volunteers, act as buddies to incoming freshman students, introducing them to school activitieseven going with them to their first school dance. "They help them get involved quickly," noted Setterlund. "Right from the start we've seen a real beneficial effect on students' grades and achievement."
Similarly, the 350-member speech and debate team, for example, sponsors a debate tournament for English language learners from area high schools each spring. "This helps students for whom English is not their native language express their ideas and gives them a chance to speak out, to be heard," said Gay Brasher, the debate team coach.
Such opportunities for helping students to succeed, Principal Setterlund points out, are the result of data that revealed where the gaps needed to be filled. "About 10 years ago," he reflected, "we decided that if we didn't move to get better, the world would pass us by. We took a chance and adopted the most rigorous graduation requirements in the state. We believed our students could achieve, and they have."
Close-Up: No Child Left BehindPhysical Education
U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige last month joined other federal officials to announce a new initiative entitled "Schools for a Healthier U.S. Challenge" aimed at helping children eat healthy and exercise. The U.S. Department of Education will also release a brochure giving parents advice on healthy lifestyles, in English and Spanish.
Secretary Paige made the announcement during a visit to the North Ridge Elementary School in Raleigh, N.C., where he presented a grant check to the Wake County Public School System for its comprehensive, research-based program to encourage students' lifelong physical fitness and good nutrition. Wake County Public School System is slated to receive more than $1.3 million over three years as part of the Carol M. White Physical Education Program. The program, part of the No Child Left Behind Act, provides grants to local school districts and community-based organizations to initiate, expand or improve physical education programs, including after-school programs, for students in grades K-12. This year, the program will award a total of 237 new grants worth nearly $69 million.
"When our children are unhealthy, they are not ready to learn," Paige said. "Millions of our K-12 students are out of shape; many are overweight or obese. And there are many reasons why: consumption of high-fat, high-calorie foods and drinks, consumption of soda, lack of physical exercise, and too much time playing video or computer games and watching television."
Other top Bush administration officials also visited schools across the country in September to underscore the administration's commitment to promoting healthy children, including Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson, Surgeon General Dr. Richard Carmona and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Julie Gerberding.
NOTE: "Overweight" is defined as body mass index (BMI) at or above the 95th percentile of the 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention BMI-for-age growth charts (www.cdc.gov/growthcharts). BMI is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters.
Paige's Circle
U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige last month discussed the results of the annual international report on education by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The following is an excerpt of his remarks:
I firmly believe that when it comes to education, "seeing is achieving." It is difficult to change if we do not know what must be changed. And this year's OECD report is like a new pair of glasses to help us see beyond our own borders.
In this dynamic global economy, it's extremely important that we measure ourselves against our friends and competitors.
The 30 nations measured here account for about 80 percent of world trade. If we are less competitive educationally, we will soon become less competitive economically. It's just a fact.
The OECD report confirms it. In every country, education and earnings are strongly linkedeven after factoring in tuition costs and lost income from college.
And the benefits are not limited to individualsthey include increased workforce productivity and technological progress.
Here in the United States, the report found that income differences between adults with a high school diploma and those withoutand between high school and college graduatesare some of the highest in the world.
Studies show that even a two-year associate degree packs a large financial punch in terms of lifetime earnings.
So we need to encourage all Americansand the schools that teach themto see the value of continuing their education. ...

New Guide!
Successful Charter Schools
Twelve years after the first charter school was launched, nearly 3,000 charter schools nationwide serve as beacons of public school innovation and reform due to an unprecedented combination of freedom and accountability: freedom to lengthen the school day, require dress codes, put teachers on school boards, and adopt any instructional practice that will help achieve the mission of building the skills students need to succeed in today's world.
How these schools have boosted student achievement is the focus of a new guide from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Innovation and Improvement. Successful Charter Schools offers practical advice and concrete examples from eight charter schools, all of which are meeting state standards of accountability for all students under the No Child Left Behind Act. The charter schools range from those educating urban students in largely underserved public schools to those serving parents in more affluent communities who want an alternative to the local public school program.
The first of two sections provides an overview of common elements, including organizational structure, leadership and mission, novel curricula and programs, efforts to promote a community of continuous learning, partnerships and accountability for results. It also includes such illustrative samples as one school's list of parent involvement activities for which parents commit to serve 20 hours annually.
The second section provides rich descriptions about each of the schools featured, which include The Arts and Technology Academy Public Charter School, Washington, D.C.; BASIS School, Inc., Tuscon, Ariz.; Community of Peace Academy, St. Paul, Minn.; KIPP Academy Houston, Houston, Texas; Oglethorpe Charter School, Savannah, Ga.; Ralph A. Gates Elementary School, Lake Forest, Calif.; Roxbury Preparatory Charter School, Boston, Mass.; and The School of Arts and Sciences, Tallahassee, Fla.

By now we all know where presidential nominee Barack Obama stands on the Second Amendment.
The only sane thing that he says is that "there is nothing wrong with a community taking illegal hand guns off of the streets." I totally agree. Why are they not doing just that?
It makes no sense to punish a legal gun owner and not the illegal ones. A crime committed with a gun is a felony and a felon is not supposed to own a gun.
illegal=guns. i can see why it would be nice to get guns out of the hands of criminals BUT--
that is what gun grabbers want. start by taking illegal guns off the street by making ALL guns illegal. or just make us all felons? more ways than one to skin a cat. big can of worms here.
the real answer is get the criminals off the street--but that cost too much money--so let them all out and take law abiding citizens guns?WTF??
personally have done rehab work... scary what comes back out of the big house. scary indeed.
Screw Obumbo. The part I liked about that article was "The largest number of Congressional members 250 lined up to sign the Amicus in support of the bill.
Did they support it. Who cares. We have power in our vote. They signed it cause "THEY WANT OUR VOTE."
Join the NRA. Join the GOA. Join every gun group you can. There watching and they want our vote.

9 p.m. to 10 p.m. [MP3]
With connections to punk rock and 'zine culture; the riot grrrl scene was spawned in the Pacific Northwest and the D.C. area in the early 1990s. Taking a DIY approach to both music and feminism, young women drew on the intensity of punk to bring girls to the forefront of their own music scene.
In the special, we'll provide a bit of history about riot grrrl and hear music from the artists typically associated with the scene, including Bratmobile, Lois, Mecca Normal, Heavens to Betsy, Excuse 17, Tream Dresch, and Jenny Toomey. We'll discuss how festivals in the Pacific Northwest helped to foster the movement, including the International Pop Underground Festival and later Yo Yo a Go Go. And, we'll take a look at how the riot grrrl scene empowered girls to start their own festivals and music tours, including "Free to Fight" (shows with music and self-defense demonstrations), and Ladyfest.

text: Today I installed the WhiteNight-Backup Lighting System made by Byers Precision. The box was packed very well. It included everything I needed to install the system on my 2005 GMC Yukon XL. Included was: The WhiteNight backup system, the relocating bracket for the stock 7 pin trailer wiring harness, all the wiring with quick connect clips, Di-electric grease and the "Plug N' Go" 7 pin trailer wiring adapter, View attachment 46775 View attachment 46774 View attachment 46776 View attachment 46777 The 3 way switch, On, On with reverse, Off Inside of unit, All connections coated in Di-Electric grease First impressions: When I opened the box, it was packed very well to ensure that the product was not damaged during transit. When first looking at the outer case, enclosed hardware and instructions, I was impressed. The plastic case has nicely cut edges, not sharp or evenly cut like many other cheaply made products I have seen. The enclosed mounting hardware was nicely bagged and seems to be of a good quality. When I first looked at the directions I was pleasantly surprised, They made sense! The directions were complete and to the point. They told me that for constant voltage to my trailer plug I needed to install a fuse, then told me the location of where the fuse goes. It also contained the correct information for the wire colors that I needed to connect to. View attachment 46778 View attachment 46779 Drilling 1/4" hole Relocation Plate mounted Install: This install was really easy. It would have taken less than 10 minutes if I was not so picky. First, I removed the stock trailer plug marked a hole in the bracket and drilled one 1/4" hole. The bracket mounts with 2 included bolts and nuts. Next, you split the light unit case in half. There is an included u bolt that mounts the back half of the unit to the hitch. It is that simple, slide the back half of the case over your hitch, put the u-bolt in and tighten it up. The case snaps back together and 2 small black plastic screws are inserted into each end to secure the halves together. There is also an option to use RTV around the case to seal it. I did do that also. Wiring: With the Plug N' Go this is really easy. You plug it into your trailer plug and the wire harness running from the plug n go goes to the system. Alternatively, you can hard wire the system in. The kit includes 2 wire clips for fast connections of the positive and reverse wires, the ground wire has an large ring terminal mounted on the end. This is what took me most of my time. I decided to solder my connections rather than use the quick clips. I soldered the two connections, wrapped them in electrical tape, reinserted them into the wire loom and taped the loom. I did have a small piece of loom laying around so I also put the wires from the unit to the trailer wire harness in loom. I also coated the connector to the unit in DI-electric grease and wrapped it in tape, because they tend to dump a lot of salt on the roads here. Wire soldered and mounted in wire loom Finished Product With Ball mounted Performance: When I put my Yukon in reverse with the stock lights, I could hardly see anything behind me. With the WhitNight Backup Lighting system installed I can see excellently! It is like having head lights on behind me. I am posting a few pics, the black pics are of just mey reverse lights. WhiteNight Stock Reverse Lights, parked in same location as above pick. Overview: I have found this product to be high quality and it works as intended. I would recommend this product. I can't wait to load the boat on the trailer this spring in the dark! (the ice on the lake prevents this today) I only have one concern about the product. Which is not a product issue. I fear that one of my kids will try to step on it. I guess time will tell. I would like to Thank @Enkeiavalanche For the great contest, I would also like to thank Rob at Byers Precision for the generous prize! - - - Updated - - - An added note: The manufacturer states that fresh water submersion is ok for the unit. Salt water is not. Sealing the unit is to keep the salt from my roads out of the unit. I am not concerned with water submersion, if I have my 23ft boat trailer with a 19ft boat in the water that deep then I have other issues. Generally when launching the boat my rear tires don't even get wet. It is also recommended that if your receiver tube is open on the back that you close it off and seal it to prevent water intrusion into the unit. I ordered a rubber plug for it for around $4, I will silicon it and install it on the backside of the tube to seal it off. I like this product so much that I am considering installing one on my wife's new Grand caravan. Not for launching the boat but, for the added light when backing up, plus with the 3 way switch, being able to turn it on when you need added light for loading would be helpful.

Every July, around 10 Canadian universities scattered across the country play host to 500 students from all provinces/territories and even internationally. Although the program is for open-minded high school students who are not afraid to delve into any subject and become challenged or inspired in ways they never thought possible in one month, I hope to break the stereotype that this is "nerd camp". My program consisted of 56 total Shads and we lived in residence at the university.

Reviews of this property
The appartement is located very central and everything is as described - very nice, comfy and clean and it was easy to feel like home.
I can recommend this appartement and the host Hugo very much!
The appartment was beautiful. You got so much space. Everything was clean and tidy. Hugo was very helpful and gave us some advices for our stay in Lisbon. He is very friendly and was flexible with the key handover. Every thing is close to the room, if you have a god map. The streats are very tricky. Lisbon is a beautiful city and next time I will also stay at the Appartment of Hugo!
This is the perfect accomodation to explore and enjoy Lisboa. The Location is perfect, so nearly everthing is in walking distance. It was very clean and comfortable. It was no problem to cook. A supermarket is very closed by. We would recommend this to all of our friends.
The apartment was beautiful and fully equipped. Hugo is a very nice and a helpful Host.
If you want to discover Lisbon in the best way possible, you should definitely book this place! The appartment is perfect for two, well located; 5 mns from the "Praça do commercio", with lots of restaurants around !
The host is very kind, always here to help or to give advise!
One regret: We wish we stay longer ! :)
Our trip to Lisboa was very good. We enjoyed to stay in this beautiful apartment in the middle of the city. We were located directly in the middle of all beautiful areas we would like to visit. City center was only a short walk away from were we stayed. We tried 3 Restaurant in the circle of 200 meters and all of them are really great. the apartment was in a great condition and clean. We did´t prepare food during the day, but everything is there. Hugo the land lord is every time available in answering your e-mails. During our stay we did´t have any questions because it is easy to get everything you need. For us it was a special time in a great apartment in a wonderful magic city.
We had a very nice accomodation in the lovely lisbon and recommend the well furnished apartment of Hugo in a authentic area. Near by is a restaurant from mocambique. If you arrive lisbon by plane, its easy by metro to the station ROSSIO and to walk 5-10 minutes up on the hill.
Best regards from Berlin, Kerstin and Frank.
We had a great time in this cosy apartment en felt very much at home. The location is ideal and there are a lot of things to see in the neighbourhood.
Stay at Hugo's flat was enjoyable and much like home.
He met us at the apartment, gave keys and guidance on how to get around. Location was convinient, there was several sights within walking distance and metro is near as well.
Flat was clean and much like staying at home, so we could have a nice break after day of walking around Lisbon.
Would highly recommend Hugo's flat to anyone.
Very nice and cosy apartment near the town center of Lisbon with everything you need. The castle of Lisbon and a small supermarket where you can get all the things you need for your stay is very close by.
Hugo himself is very kind, reliable and helpful. When we arrived he gave us a map and explained a few spots. With his direction it was very easy to find the apartment.
We can highly recommend that place and maybe we will be back.
