The two weeks spent in my former home were exactly as expected. Chaotic, tiring, frustrating...and yes, a hell of a lot of fun. A bachelorette party in St Louis was followed by a week of preparing for the wedding which turned out splendidly. It was low key, but beautiful. The most memorable part though, was that in the middle of saying her vows, when asked by the pastor "til death do you part?", Katie replies with a resounding "Huh?", as if she wasn't aware that what shewas getting into was for life. Everyone chuckled, the photographer got a great photo, Katie corrected herself and they moved on. Great memories always come from the things that aren't supposed to happen. Really, who wants a "perfect" wedding. My mom always likes to tell the story of when my cousin and I were in a wedding together, he as ring bearer and myself as flower girl. In the middle of the cermony, he and I were sitting on the steps at the front of the church tossing the ring pillow back and forth. I've never seen it, but apparently on the video from the wedding, you can hear Ben, my cousin, shout out "nice catch!". Even though the only memory I have of that day has been told to me, I still smile when thinking of that imperfect moment. Hopefully the rest of my life will be filled with imperfectness.
I'm on my way to Scotland with my sister next. Tara and I are going to travel in triangle form; from Glasgow to Inverness and finally to Edinburgh where we will part ways. She will head back home, and I will head to Germany for a few days for a friend's thirtieth birthday. Moving on...

Joy and Bruce,
Congratulations! you have succeeded at your attempt for attention…I dont think I could say such things about a baby to get attention, but you had the balls to do it and you got it! To everyone else, if you feed off the adolescent comments made by these bored children, you are getting there rocks off. so pretend it was never said and move on…then they too will move on to another blog
Posted at 10:13 AM on February 11, 2012
Ok, JOY AND DOUCHE(I MEAN BRUCE)! You must be some sort of pathetic sad and uneducated living things(can't call you human beings after the comments you left) I have ever come across. Wow I don't even know where to start with that. First of all, did that make your day better, did it make you feel better looking or cooler to say such horrible things about a BABY! That baby has no control over the things she is going thru and for you to be so spineless just plain disgusted me to no end. You people really make me sad to think there are actually people out there like you and my children will have to grow up in a world where they at some point may have to deal with one of you! Your parents must have been terrible to you, either that or you're as ugly on the outside as you are inside. Those are the only things I can think would make you so hateful towards such a beautiful things as a child. Whatever the case may be I wish terrible things for you and I pray you never bring children into this world because I can only imagine the type of parent yoy would be! I'm sorry you both live such miserable and meaningless lives that you have to resort to things like this to make yourselves happy!

I cant even read these comments. I can guarantee that the people who are calling that gorgeous little girl ugly are super insecure of themselves. Probably because THEY are the ones who no one likes, and who are actually friggen ugly. I think that little INNOCENT girl is beautiful. She has the cutest face. Anyone who calls any child ugly, especially one as cute as this one, deserves a whole lot more than mean words said at them. Id like to meet you poor, pathetic jerks. I can guarantee you are all just a bunch of stupid, lonely people, who have spent their lives bullying others to better your opinions of yourselves.

Well Ali is a bastard just like Aleeah they were born out of wedlock she looks like a gremlin or ghoulie. I hope they lock her nasty butt in the zoo because is horrible to look at.

agree krista, this guy is 2 ashamed to put up his real name bcos he posted this same comment on another article under a different name. he is satan if any1! with an attitude like that u will burn in hell! even if she is "retarded" that is not her fault n she should still be treated like every1 else u ignorant prick.
Posted at 2:59 PM on February 5, 2012
Leah's baby Ali is a retarded looking freak. What is up with her fat roll covered legs and arms. She looks like a retard with those stubs for arms. And what is up with the v on her forehead?? And now she has googly crossed eyes too?? She is a useless retardthat is one ugly freak. the parents try to pretend that they love her as much as the pretty, normal one. i was laughing sooo hard at those comments. ali has this big beer belly sticking out an fat rolls all over her stubby arms and legs, while her pretty twin is thin. she is all cross eyed and drooling and what is up with the red v on her forehead? they talked to her like a dog, when they were trying to get her to roll over. leah never holds her, only the pretty, normal one. leah makes corey carry the retard around.
totally agree with you guys, Ali is one ugly, useless freak. She can't grasp anything in her useless hands AND she can't use those useless turned in fatty legs AND she can't use her useless crossed over eyes. Yuck. Notice how the back of her head os flat, cause obviously they leave her in her tard seat all day while they play with the normal one. Thank god for her, at least. Ali is so ugly it makes one wanna slap her. Those stubby fatty arma are so unbecoming. Yuck!!!This thing is the antichrist and belongs in hell..it looks like satan
Aliannah Ali girl simms is The Antichrist.666!!She is the devils child and will curse anything she touches!!
Posted at 3:55 PM on February 5, 2012
its not her fault she is a baby that was born like that and i think both of them are adorable. shame on u for even saying that. what the hell is wrong with. do u have no common sense or were u dropped on your head. i think the reason u say yuck so much is because thats what people say when they look at u. i say the only retard is u and yet again shame on u. p.s. karma is a b!tch and u got loads of it coming ur way
Posted at 10:19 AM on February 11, 2012
Perhaps you are describing a situation you were in? That might explain your feelings towards this poor little girl. Is that it, were you terribly ugly and you had a brother or sister that was "normal" and your mommy and daddy love them and not you, Aw so sad. Please read my comment above.
Posted at 9:44 PM on February 12, 2012
I hope you burn in hell. You Idiot BASTARD. SHES A CHILD. You DICK. She was born with problems.. My sister was a "Chubby child" She's VERY Skinny now.. Everybodys Different.. But you.. I hope the WORST for you.. If you were to speak of my child like that.. I'd kill you. Not even playing.

I'm new to UL. I've been working on this list all summer, trying to bring my base weight down from about 25 pounds. Anybody interested in a 7 lb. Dana Designs K2 Shortbed External Frame pack?
I know there is still room for improvement on this list. So let me know what you think.
This list is designed to keep me warm down to about 30dF.
The list is in my profile and right here: http://www.backpackinglight.com/backpackinglight/forums/gear_lists/98a820cb0f3318e369f1eb18c35d79d4.pdfSep 21, 2009 at 7:49 pm #1529505

Feels good doesn't it? Nice job on your gear list. A couple of observations;
1) Go with a larger GG SpinnTwinn tarp for the same weight of your oware, and you can lose the bivy…savings of about 7oz
2)Use clothes not worn, stored in stuff sac for pillow
3)Swap out your pocket rocket and mug for Trail Designs Caldera Keg setup…save 1 oz in the basic setup, but the big win is what you don't have listed…the fuel canister. Go with esbit for 0.5oz of fuel per meal.
4)Lose the petzl zipka plus headlamp because it's redundant…my photon is plenty bright for my purposes.
5)Trade your leatherman micra multitool for a Victorinox (aka Swiss Army) Pocket Knife/File/Scissors and save 1oz.
6) Go with a lighter, closed cell, torso length pad. I use a Nunatak Lunapad cut down to 40" long for 5.7oz, a savings of about 13oz.
Again, great job, just a few observations. I probably need to post my gear list and get similar advice.

1) You may want to do something about those hiking pants. 17.5oz is really heavy, even for traditional pants. I have Patagonia hiking pants (GI 2 pants) that weigh 11.5oz and I want to replace them. BPL sells their Thorofare hiking pants that weigh just 4oz. You could shave off 13.5oz…over 3/4lbs….with these pants. That's huge! You're not going to do better than that for $70. That works out to $5.18 per ounce saved.
2)Firesteel? I have one too and they're fun to use but they're kinda heavy at 1 oz so I leave mine at home normally. Take a second Mini Bic instead of the FireSteel and you'll save 0.6oz.
3) The Patagonia R1 Fleece pullover (13.7oz) is another area where you could save a lot of weight. Consider something like MontBell's U.L. Down Inner Parka at 8.5oz.
4) A lot of people do this, but I'm not a fan of bringing both a rain jkt and a wind jkt. Even a heavier rain jkt with pit zips would be lighter than bringing both. Consider leaving the wind jkt at home and just using the Virga. You can unzip it a bit if you are getting too hot or humid. If it's cold and windy I wear my insulated Montbell U.L. parka. If it's too warm out to wear this (even un zipped) then I'm probably fine hiking in just my baselayer.
5) What's a wool toboggan? Are these gloves?
6) Consider Ti stakes. I got a set of 6 on eBay that weigh 5.65g each for just $11 (if I recall correctly). 8 of these would weigh 1.7oz which is 0.9oz lighter than your current stakes.
7) A NeoAir would save about 4.5oz and probably be more comfortable…but they are expensive. A short NeoAir would save 10oz, but I find short pads that are really thick kinda wierd to use in short versions. It's like my legs are hanging off a cliff.
8) Your MH Carson SS Shirt seems heavy at 7.5oz. I hike in a short sleeved Patagonia Capilene tee which weighs 4.5oz.
Total Suggested Weight Saved: 32.3oz or 2lbs!Sep 21, 2009 at 10:44 pm #1529564
Mark HobbsMember
Thanks John and Dan. Great ideas. I figured clothing would be an area I could improve. I'm a pretty big guy, so the weights listed are mostly for XL size, on my scale. I've found that this number can be very different from the advertised weight of the medium size. But I know I could improve anyway, especially on the clothes I wear.
The pants are too heavy, but I do like having convertible pants. Anyone know of a lightweight pair that won't tear easily?
If I found a shirt I could wear while hiking in warmer temps but also sleep in as a base layer, I could drop the MH Carson shirt AND the Capilene 2 top. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe a Capilene 1 short sleeve?
The toboggan is a beanie. I've been trying to decide if I really need a balaclava with the quilt or could get by with a beanie.
I'll have to check out the caldera setup. I'm not familiar with them.
I need to think about what I want to do with the pad. I know it is strange to have a pad that weighs as much as my quilt. Are those closed cell torso length pads actually comfortable?
I think if the weather conditions looked okay I could get by with just the Virga or only the Houdini and an emergency poncho.
Dropping the headlamp would be an adjustment for me, but I think I could do it. I don't hike much at night anyway. And the swiss army knife would work.
Thanks again. Keep the suggestions coming!Sep 22, 2009 at 12:01 am #1529578

"Are those closed cell torso length pads actually comfortable?"
Comfortable? I would say no but you can probably get used to using them if you are tired enough or just get used to it…kinda depends on what kind of a sleeper you are. I find a NeoAir WAY more comfortable than my closed cell RidgeRest…and the weight isn't much different.
"If I found a shirt I could wear while hiking in warmer temps but also sleep in as a base layer, I could drop the MH Carson shirt AND the Capilene 2 top. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe a Capilene 1 short sleeve?"
Hmm….I like to have as light of a baselayer as possible to wear while hiking. With a light shirt, you can always go warmer by adding layers, but normally I don't need anything more. I have a Sierra Designs baselayer T-shirt and a Patagonia one (Capilene 2 T-Shirt I think). Both weigh about 4.5oz. I like to have a spare because otherwise I'd spend the entire trip in the same shirt and I like to wash it occasionally OR if it's wet from sweat or rain then I have another dry baselayer tee for sleeping in. I probably shouldn't take two of the exact same thing though. I could take one baselayer tee and one longsleeve baselayer that is slightly thicker and weighs about 5.5oz. That would give me more laying options and be useful on colder days.
"The pants are too heavy, but I do like having convertible pants."
Understandable….convertible pants would be ideal. Perhaps really light ones exist, but I'm not aware of any really light ones. If you can't find any, you would be better off to buy the 4oz pants I suggested and some light shorts like the GoLite Baja's (3 oz) instead of your 17.5oz convertible pants.
BTW, supposedly the BPL Thorofare pants have a pretty good DWR on them which means they can function as rain pants too in non-extreme conditions. I noticed you don't have any rain bottoms listed, so these would actually add functionality in addition to the weight they save.
"The toboggan is a beanie. I've been trying to decide if I really need a balaclava with the quilt or could get by with a beanie."
I would get an insulated jkt with hood. The Montbell U.L. Down Inner Parka is really light (my medium weighs 8.5oz). Having your head gear connected to the jkt keeps you warmer….plus the hood can be cinched tightly around your face so it's just as good as a balaclava. Another advantage is simplicity. You're not going to lose the hood off your jkt or have a hard time finding it at dusk. Your pullover + wool hat weighs 16.2oz. An Montbell U.L. Down Inner Parka would probably weigh 10oz in XL and it would be warmer and simpler….but it does cost $165 unless you can find one in the gear swap.
"Dropping the headlamp would be an adjustment for me, but I think I could do it."
I'm a headlamp fan….they're just so darn handy in the evening. A handheld light works, but when you are sorting through your pack looking for something it's nice to have both hands free. Same goes for cooking after dark. The Zipka is a pretty darn light headlamp.
While I'm on the topic, what's up with AAA batteries in light weight headlamps? A high end AA lithium battery (ie. Energizer Photo Lithium) weighs 14.5g and can hold 2900mAh of power. That works out to 200mAh per gram.
The top AAA batteries weigh 7.6g and but hold only 1250mAh, which is just 165mAh per gram…nearly 20% worse. So if you have a device that needs two AAA batteries, you're carrying 15.2g worth of batteries which contain a total of 2500mAh of power. You'd be better off with a single AA which is 0.7g lighter and has an extra 400mAh of power. I would love to see a version of the Zipka with fewer LEDs, the same great strap, but a smaller body that just holds a single AA.Sep 23, 2009 at 7:15 am #1529928

I find the egg crate closed cell foam pads very comfortable, but not the smooth or rubbed ones. (Gossamer Gear or Nunatak). In fact, we car camped last weekend, so I used a heavy Big Agnes pad and was surprised that it wasn't more comfortable than my foam pad. To each his own though, because my wife prefers an air pad.
For comparrison, I stacked your weights up against mine on all of the major categories, and we were very close in every one. The main difference is that my tarp, ground cloth, and quilt are sized for both my wife and I. (My gear list is posted in my profile).

Aurora Picture Show, Houston
UTSA New Media Series hosts film curator March 3
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(March 3, 2008)--The UTSA New Media Series, a program of the Department of Art and Art History, will host a lecture and film presentation by Andrea Grover, founder and artistic director of Houston's renowned Aurora Picture Show. Free and open to the public, the presentation is 7-9 p.m., Monday, March 3 in the Buena Vista Theater at the UTSA Downtown Campus.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Glover will preview and discuss a new collection of videos she assembled for a DVD that will be included in the spring issue of Artlies magazine due in mid-March. The DVD is a collection of artists' ephemera -- material that was generated with new artwork. The ephemera are in the form of video documents created by artists as they created their work in order to describe the various processes and projects.
Grover has been cited as one of the first curators of "crowd-sourced" or participatory art with her show, "Phantom Captain: Art and Crowdsourcing" at Apex Art in New York City in 2006. She recently taught a course on participatory art at the University of Houston School of Art.
Aurora Picture Show is a nonprofit cinema dedicated to short films, video and new media. The organization has distinguished itself as a home for vanguard work that falls outside of conventional moviemaking and traditionally has fewer exhibition outlets. Though screenings are in a variety of settings, the home venue is a 1924 church building in Sunset Heights, Houston.
Leslie Raymond, UTSA assistant professor of art and art history, coordinates the New Media Series.

Feb 6, 2014 at 6:57 am #1312950
Ok, so I'm gonna be doing some BIKEPACKING this summer! Yeah!
I'm ready to bring along one of two shelters:
1. Big Agnes Fly Creek 1 Platinum (2lb 1oz)
2. BorahGear Snowyside Bivy (1lb 8oz)
The bivy saves some weight and space and no poles/stakes, but I'm not sure if it'll be too warm. I opted for the full eVent top and bottom.
Next, a sleeping bag.
I have a Mountain Hardwear Ultralamina 45 (1lb 6oz) but that seems way overkill. I went an entire summer using only an Alps Razr fleece bag. So… can I get away with just using a light down jacket and pants inside my bivy bag, or is a better volume/weight investment something like an MLD Spirit Quilt 48 at ~13oz? I would probably never use pants/jacket off-bike and the lowest temps I expect are low 40's, but I'm good at sleeping cold.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
P.S. Region is Northeastern US, probably VT and NHFeb 6, 2014 at 8:20 am #2070531
If you are in established campgrounds or had wait out bad weather or heavy on bugs, the tent would be nice. The bivy would be better for stealth camping.
I would take a light bag or quilt. I bought a Thermarest small Tech blanket for hot weather use with my hammock or an UL bivy. It's not so terribly light, but is very compact and was about $35 on sale. It has a drawstring in the foot and snaps to my pad to form a quilt. It can also be worn like a shawl in camp. It's like a slightly warmer poncho liner.Feb 6, 2014 at 8:22 am #2070532
Love the idea of the tech blanket. Thanks. I might have Justin Whitson make me an Apex blanket but I'll look into both as a potential solution. It's looking like a blanket is the way to go.
I do not mind discomfort in the slightest. When I'm waiting out a storm, I'm usually reading a book on my iPhone, which I can do in a bivy just fine. Stealth camping is the #1 reason I want to bring a bivy bag, but I'm afraid it'll be too hot if the temperature is in the 70's at night.
Thoughts?Feb 6, 2014 at 8:39 am #2070538

While I've only slept in my BG eVent bivy in the snow with night time temps in the lower 20s, when I first got it I had to ofcourse hop in it in my living room which is a constant balmy 72 degrees. I was immediately aware of the stuffiness inside of the bivy. While it's a very breathable material and has been awesome during the colder months at adding some additional warmth while not condensating, I think that is the primary limits to it. I'd feel comfortable bringing it in to the 50s even, but 70s? No way. It's just not designed for that (imo). You'd be better off with a lightweight bivy so you can still stealth camp, with a small tarp in your pack to deploy if the weather turns crappy.Feb 6, 2014 at 8:43 am #2070543

@norcalweaverLocale: PacNW
^also worth noting is that I had mine made with a cuben floor, which may play a small factor in breathability, though I don't think enough to make a significant or noticable difference.Feb 6, 2014 at 8:46 am #2070544
I think a WR bivy and a tarp is the ultimate solution here, but unfortunately, I need my shelters to go as far as humanly possible and I can't keep a quiver like I want to.
I got an amazing deal on the Big Agnes tent, and you'd have to pry it from my cold, dead hands. I'm dating an outdoorsy girl and I told her the tent stays, we'll just have to sleep close when we camp together (let's see how that goes!). I love the tent and wouldn't mind using it, but the poles are awkward in my bikepacking setup.
As for the bivy, I really really wanted a standalone shelter and the Borahgear bivy cost the same as a Superlight from MLD. I'm 100% certain the MLD bivvies are worth their price, and I have some MLD stuff I love (rain mitts!) but I can't afford to own a Superlight and a Snowyside, which is ideal.
So, these two shelters are what I'm working with.
In Vermont and New Hampshire, especially at higher altitudes, temperatures usually end up in the 60's. 70 would be rare. The only other place I tend to camp in the summer is near the ocean, which stays similarly cool after the sun goes down. I speak from experience here; we had maybe one night above 70º the entire 2012 tour in four Northeastern states, and one night it got all the way down to 39º. I wore all my clothing and slept like a baby.
So, I would basically be risking an uncomfortable night in the bivy at around a 1 in 10 chance scenario. I highly doubt temperatures would creep up to 80 degrees.
I am happy to suspend the bivy for ventilation and wear nothing but a silk liner inside (to keep sweat off the eVent). If it's just not feasible, though, I'd bring the tent.Feb 6, 2014 at 8:48 am #2070545
As for the cuben bottom, this was the main reason I went for Borahgear over MLD (sorry Ron). I think the full eVent floor is going to make a substantial difference in breathability if the BPL community is any meter. That was one of the main takeaways from my info-gathering. Full eVent is worth the investment and the weight penalty for me.Feb 6, 2014 at 9:00 am #2070552
There's always the blue poly tarp option. The cheap ones are actually quite light. The grommet placement isn't always ideal for pitching, but a grommet kit is cheap enough and there are all kinds of gizmos to add ties outs to plastic tarps.
A small silnylon tarp or poncho wouldn't be much of a financial burden and would make bivy life more pleasant.
The Borahgami tarp should become the couples UL shelter and an excellent bikepacking rig.
A bivy will be stuffy. I can feel the difference in my hammock when the bug screen is open or closed. Bugs are the real issue with sleeping with your bivy wide open. You might get by with a sheer curtain from a thrift store sewn into a simple bag to slip over the top. There are the bug canopy gizmos that might work for you in hot weather.
I think light synthetic blankets have a place in UL summer hiking. A few snaps or toggles at one end can approximate a foot box easily enough. Do consider a head hole to wear it serape style or a toggle to use it as a shawl for camp insulation. I think that makes a great multiple use feature for warm weather lowland camping and you can leave your puffy behind.
For that matter you can buy a surplus military poncho liner for cheap. Woodland camo should be great for Vermont wood lot stealth camping :)

Love the Borahgami shelter (though, I'm silently resentful I lost the naming contest to such an excellent name. Genius!). I don't think couple's bikepacking is in the future, but you never know!
I have a blue poly tarp and I've rigged it up before using trees, and I have no aversion to doing it again except volume. I am going rackless with a Revelate Tangle Frame Bag (large) and a Viscacha Seat Bag, a really small handlebar bag for a raincoat, and if I can get away with it, nothing else! Possibly a hydration or lumbar pack, but no racks and no drybags. I want to keep a fleece, bivy, and a sleeping bag in my seat bag, a sleeping pad in my bottle cage, and water/food in the tangle and go absolutely minimalist.
I did the 2012 tour with a single frame bag and a stuff sack, plus a hydration pack. I can do it, I just need to keep the volume down.
If I were to bring a tarp, I might consider picking up an MLD Dog Tarp just for the top half of my bivy. I could probably rig it up with a single tree in a flying diamond configuration. I wonder if Ron would make one in brown silnylon… but anyways, anything bigger/more expensive and I might as well forgo the bivy altogether and just use my tent.
Therein lies the conundrum… I hope I'm not annoying anyone because I absolutely love threads like this. Questioning my setups leads me to happier trips.Feb 6, 2014 at 9:25 am #2070567
Just get a Golite poncho. It will have all kinds of uses in your travels. If it really pours you can sit it out under a tree with the poncho covering your whole body and it makes for a great bivy head end shelter.
If you were starting from scratch, my combo du jour of Gatewood Cape and Titanium Goat Ptarmigan bivy would rock for bikepacking.
I would buy some polycryo to save the bottom on that bivy. PM me if you can't find it local.Feb 6, 2014 at 9:41 am #2070570

I have only bike toured with panniers and racks, So I am not speaking from experience for your needs. But I do know that tent poles are a pain to deal with in small packs or spaces. If I were going bikepacking without racks, I would want to minimize the rigid items I bring, just to make packing with limited space easier. I would also, definitely want some shelter I could throw up quick to get out of the downpours. I can hike through most rain, however, visibility gets very limited on a bike, and it is often best to wait out the occasional downpours.
I've also had the fly creek before (not the platinum) and the poles really don't take up a ton of space. I still wouldn't to deal with them in a small pack – there may be a good way to attach them to the frame out of the way. Zefal makes a pump strap (doodad plus) that could hold most things against the frame. Then you still have the option of using the fly/footprint setup for a quick shelter if needed.Feb 6, 2014 at 10:38 am #2070591

What about coming up with a way to strap the tent poles for your FCUL1 to your bike frame? I would think you could perhaps sew some velcro to the stuff sack for the poles (assuming it comes with one, otherwise make one) and then velcro that to your bike frame's top tube? I get that you don't mind more discomfort than most, but I would think the tent would be a lot more comfortable than a bivy and that grey color isn't going to stand out too much if you need to stealth camp.Feb 6, 2014 at 10:56 am #2070598

Id spend the money and get the Revelate Handlebar Harness system. It would allow you to strap your tent and whatever else to the front. I can fit my BA CS UL1 and clothing in mine just fine. Im decked out in Revelate bags and its definitely worth it.Feb 6, 2014 at 12:12 pm #2070623
Good suggestions, all:
The poles aren't an end-all, I can definitely strap them to the frame. It's just slightly less convenient than the bivy. I have found that the less straps I have, the better, because I break camp in the morning without the ritual of tightening/checking/stowing loose ends.
It sounds like a non-issue, but I love the zen of simple bike touring. Having everything in bags definitely accomplishes this end. In a way, so does the bivy. No poles, stakes, rain fly, etc to deal with. Stop riding, sleep, wake up, ride.
As for the Revelate Harness, I would go for it, but my drop bars and cables are in the way on my adventure bike. Perhaps if I pick up a true mountain bike before the summer, I'll go for it. All my other bags are Revelate and I love them.
Oh, and as for the polycro, I am a paranoid guy with a deep love for keeping things looking new, so I'm going with a 9 x 4 foot piece of kitemaking tyvek instead of polycro. Adds a couple ounces, but it's bulletproof to protect the bivy or tent from puncture. I have relied on it in the past and love tyvek for this purpose.Feb 6, 2014 at 12:32 pm #2070629

@ Dale.
Have you tried cycling in the poncho?Feb 6, 2014 at 9:46 pm #2070757
Jason asked, "Have you tried cycling in the poncho?"
Of course not. The idea was to buy a poncho for use with the bivy rather than a small tarp. Some bivy users like to use a small tarp at the head end for protection from the weather, even cooking while still nicely wrapped in their sleeping bag and unzipped bivy. Max mentioned buying a small tarp and it was my suggestion to buy a more versatile poncho instead. My GoLite poncho is 102" x 56", weighs 7.2oz and the current retail is $60, which is comparable to many flat silnylon tarps. Max does get off the bike and walk around the woods once in a while too, and the poncho would be perfectly usable as rain gear for that.
I never mentioned using the poncho as rain gear on the bike. I did mention sitting out a rain storm sitting under a tree with the poncho on. There are some capes offered fo use on a bike, but I don't like the idea much myself.
Are we clear? :)Feb 6, 2014 at 10:52 pm #2070771
Calm down Dale. It was just a straight forward question. People have been cycling in capes and ponchos for decades. I just wondered if you had tried it out, as I have a Zpacks groundsheet poncho that I was considering for summer bike packing trips.Feb 6, 2014 at 11:05 pm #2070773
Note my smilie at the end. I am cool as a cucumber :)
For what it's worth, I think cycling in a full backpacker poncho would be utter madness. The cycling capes with thumbs loops are quite short in comparison with little chance of getting in the moving hardware. Even with those features I would pass on the idea.
I really don't get the groundsheet poncho idea. I see groundsheets as sacrificial and expected to wear out. To use expensive Cuben fabric and then flop it down in dirt and end up sleeping on your rain gear makes no sense to me. The economics get by me too: 250% of the cost of the Golite for a 2.1oz weight savings so you can have a dirty $155 poncho with holes in it? To each his own, but I'll pass.Feb 6, 2014 at 11:53 pm #2070776
Thanks Dale.Feb 7, 2014 at 7:37 am #2070812
A poncho isn't a perfect system for me for a couple of reasons. Firstly, a poncho is redundant with my rain jacket and rain pants, which I'm already bringing for use on the bike. So, the role it fills isn't ideal, even if it is slightly more comfortable at rest, perhaps.
Secondly, if I were to bring a tarp, I'd bring something like an MLD Dog Tarp for the head section of the bivy, which is smaller, lighter, and cheaper than a poncho.
Dale's point was, however, well understood and there didn't need to be a question raised there.Feb 7, 2014 at 9:42 am #2070847
IanBPL Member
There's a lot to be said for the tarp/eVent or Goretex bivy combo. The largest reason I don't use that system now is that no matter how I slice it, I can't put that combo together in a way that's lighter than my Zpacks tent.
I do like the fact that I can throw the bivy down just about anywhere and not worry about stakes getting pulled out in a windstorm, etc. I often used the USGI bivy with a poncho tarp in the military. We never used poles or stakes. Just tied the ridgeline up between two trees and tied the corners down to deadfall, rocks, bushes, whatever were within reach.

Beetle Alchemy
This 47-million-year-old fossilized leaf beetle (Chrysomelidae) is as shiny today as it was in life. But the original insect was green, not gold. Nanoscale reflectors built into the surface of the insect's body determine its color; the visible wavelengths depend on both the spacing of the reflectors and the extent to which they bend light. Electron microscopy revealed the reflective layers in several beetle fossils to be in perfect physical condition. But their chemical composition had changed. As a result, the fossils bend light differently than do living beetles, shifting their hues toward the red end of the spectrum. Knowing the ancient insects' true colors could help researchers understand how they evolved their brilliant palette. (Photograph courtesy of Maria McNamara.)

A Molecule in Four-Wheel Drive
The first self-directed, single-molecule "car" has lurched its way across a few nanometers of a copper surface. Unlike earlier synthetic molecular gadgets, this one steers itself in an almost-straight line without being pushed or dragged. All it needs is a supply of electrons. The complex organic molecule consists of four lobes arranged around a central stem. Each lobe functions as a wheel, ratcheting the vehicle forward with alternating electronic excitation and relaxation. During the synthesis, only a fraction of the molecules end up with all four lobes attached so they rotate in the same direction—and even fewer land with their wheels touching the copper surface. But those that do show that chemists are getting ever better at engineering nanoscale devices.

Dream Sequence
Neuroscientists have, for the first time, linked specific dreamed actions to localized brain activity. The unpredictability of dreams made this feat impossible in the past. But for this study, researchers recruited six young men who had learned to control their dreams. Each subject slept in the lab and tried, in his dreams, to clench his left hand, then his right. Two men completed the task, each in a different kind of brain scanner. The results showed that both dreamed and actual left-hand clenches activated the right sensorimotor cortex, and vice versa. But, as seen in the fMRI images at right, the signals for waking actions (left) were much stronger than those for dreamed actions (right). Although the sample size is tiny, the study takes one step toward uncovering the neurological basis of dreamed experience. (Image courtesy of the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry.)

Olives, Herbs and Juniper
Ancient Greek trade ships shuttled millions of amphoras—ceramic, vase-shaped storage jars—around the Mediterranean and Black seas. The containers are generally thought to have carried wine, but a new DNA analysis of nine jars, aged 2,200 to 2,400 years, suggests the freight was more diverse. Researchers swabbed and scraped DNA from the vessels and tested it for plant sequences. In five jars, they found grape DNA, consistent with wine. But they also found sequences from olive, juniper, turpentine tree, thyme and oregano, as well as from the walnut and ginger families. Every jar bore evidence of multiple species. The containers may have been reused with different cargo, or perhaps each one carried a mixture of ingredients preserved in herbs, oils and resins. If the DNA method proves reliable, analysis of shipwrecked containers could supplement historic accounts of ancient commerce and diet.

Bring the Neighbors!
A mean but familiar neighbor is better than a completely new one. At least that's the case for endangered Stephens' kangaroo rats (Dipodomys stephensi). Efforts to move groups of the rodents to protected areas have failed, and biologists wondered whether neighbors would fare better together. It's not that the kangaroo rats are social; rather, they're solitary and fiercely territorial. But they do recognize their neighbors. In a new study, researchers relocated 99 animals—48 with familiar neighbors and 51 with strangers—and tracked their progress for one year. The rats who kept the same old rivals fought less, ate more and survived longer, yielding a total reproductive output 24 times greater than that of rats who had to sort out new relationships. Conservation efforts with other territorial animals may also need to take antisocial bonds into account. (Photograph courtesy of Ken Bohn, San Diego Zoo.)

Wow, Kubo really needs to improve on his German. ^^ Those words are not put together right and not conjugated at all. It's not "Stern Ritters" (lol), it's "Sternenritter". But whatever, my Japanese is probably even worse than his German, so who am I to complain. But, yeah, I too feel it's too late now to reveal that Ishida is in fact some kind of prince with bada** hidden powers.

I don't think Ishida was hiding his power. His father called him talentless and also he lost his powers at one point. He didn't even know he could regain them. There must be some unique weapon in the Ishida family or something his father didn't tell him about. Ishida will probably get a powerupgrade soon. I would be really disappointed if Ishida was hiding his powerlevel the entire time. It would make no sense.

Yeah I think it's more to do with Ryuuken or the Ishida family itself. These guys really seem to be lacking information both about the Ishidas and the true fate of Aizen. Maybe they're Quincy from the past or something goofy like that. Buckbeard should probably look a bit older if he fought Yamamoto.

At this point I would love to see Aizen coming and trolling everyone in the Soul Society
But really how's Kubo going to fit all the characters in this arc. We've got the Vizards, Espadas, Zero Squad(hopefully), Ishida and his Dad, Ichigo's Dad, Orihime, Chad, all the Captains and their Lieutenants and obviously the Vanderiech(don't care if I spelled it wrong) WITHOUT making most of these characters look completely USELESS in the upcoming battle?
P.S. Oh, it seems I forgot the Fullbringers - all of them aren't dead as I remember.

Though it would be cool if it were some completely new badass characters.
I think its interessting, that the enemy thought Ishida's arrows should be stronger.
Maybe they aren't real Quincies, but some sort of dead persons, and living humans should have greater powers.
On the other hand I wonder why Quincies even developped those powers. Their job was exterminating hollows and as we could see their lowest level of powers were enough to do so.

When I was studying architecture at the University of Toronto, one of my professors showed us a slide of a moon gazing platform at Katsura Imperial Villa in Japan. He described how this simple yet elegant platform is an agent for affairs with the moon.
Architecture is an agent for our affairs with life, work, and pleasure.
The Bell Festival Centre, the new home for the Toronto International Film Festival Group, is an agent for our affairs with film.
The design creates a city of film within a city that loves film: metropolitan, complex and bold, it is commanding on its urban site at King and John, the intersection of Toronto's theatre district and media corridor.
The interior is conceived as a robust, super loft which contains a series of platforms for the presentation, study and discussion of film.
The theatres are expressed inside and out as independent buildings --- temples for the experience and debate of film. The reference library and archive, multipurpose meeting/classrooms, and an exhibition gallery provide rooms for study, research and display. The ground floor, with its lobby, retail shop, ticket booth and café, creates lively indoor town square. The upper levels will provide supportive work spaces in the form of light-filled loft studios for the heart and soul of TIFFG – its staff and volunteers.
The sculpted rooftop culminates the fusion of architecture and film - formally it references the Villa Malaparte in Capri, the set for Jean Luc Godard's film "Contempt". This urban plateau will be both an oasis in the downtown and a high demand event space for outdoor screenings and parties.
The building will be a home base for TIFFG in all of its dimensions: a sustainable platform which will enable it to grow and evolve its programs, to create an international epicentre of film culture where people will not only watch great films, but where they will debate and examine the art and evolution of the moving image.
The Bell Festival Centre will be chameleon-like - pulsating with life and changing from day to night through a complex play of light, shadows and movement synchronized with TIFFG's inspiring programming, from season to season, from festival to festival.
It takes a great team to make great architecture. Shirley Blumberg, one of my partners; and Matthew Wilson, our project architect, and the entire team of architects, engineers, project managers, special consultants, and builders are giving this project the creativity and care it needs to achieve excellence, and to realize TIFFG's dreams and objectives.
I measure the life of this project relative to my son, Thomas, who was born the day before the first press conference in September 2003.
I dreamed of getting him, and now, his sister, Vita, into Sprockets, the extraordinary film program TIFFG runs for children.
Just over a week ago, my wife, Victoria, and I took our children to this year's Sprockets screening of Azur and Asmar. It was one of the most beautiful and exquisitely crafted films I have ever seen, and the first large format film that our children have experienced: the first of many that as future film lovers they will look forward to.
We need to fall in love with Toronto in a new way, in a way that celebrates the arts in all of their diversity and richness. In the midst of this extraordinary cultural renaissance, projects such as the new home for TIFFG will not only transform the way the city looks, but they must create the momentum we need to grow communities for culture, cultivate and support new talent, and continuously inspire and showcase innovation and imagination.
I look forward to seeing you at the opening of the Bell Festival Centre.

Options to re-open the full Tongariro Alpine Crossing for next summer are being discussed by government departments and local tourism organisations.
Conservation Minister Nick Smith, GNS Science, DOC staff, iwi, Taupo MP Louise Upston and representatives of the local tourism industry met last weekend to come up with a plan to re-open the crossing.
"The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is New Zealand's most popular Great Walk, attracting more than 70,000 trampers and bringing an economic benefit to the Taupo region of more than $100 million each year.
"We need to explore all the options on how it might be possible to re-open the full crossing for the next season while responsibly managing public safety," Dr Smith said.
Mt Tongariro erupted last August and again in November resulting in extensive damage to the Ketetahi Hut and sections of the track.
It was partly opened in December, but an exclusion area around the Te Maari crater means trampers cannot complete the crossing and need to do a return trip.
"The re-opening of the full track is a difficult decision because there is always some risk in an active volcanic area and a 100 per cent safety guarantee has never and will never be possible."
Dr Smith said options such as early warning systems or re-routing or developing new sections of track away from the high risk area were also being discussed.
"There are also practical problems at the Mangatepopo end of the crossing ... I am exploring with the Department what extra facilities may be needed in respect of toilets, shelters and car parks to better accommodate the change in visitors' use," he said.

Actually, I do know the range. 1-10g.
That's more than enough to come up with a range for ng of pesticide per bee.
It's too high. Even for plastic coated frames.

Rick 1456... I'm with you. After 14 pages of hits and misses, it seemes foundation contains contaminates, who would have thought it. It also seemes foundationless is more difficult to move and extract, who would have thought it. You are not going to change someone's mind that is already made up, I don't care how many facts, charts, graphs, studies, you present. Do either of you think you are going to convert the other?? Dueling facts that go nowhere.
In the words of Rodney King..... "can't we just all get along??????"
I don't really care what other people do. I do however, find it somewhat upsetting when someone claims a bunch of "scientist" credentials (especially when they are secret and unverifiable credentials) gets their panties in a twist every time they read about something they didn't know before...then tries to scare everyone else by making up numbers and repeating them over and over in order to make them sound true.
Yes, WLC, you know between 1-10g? Why? Because someone read "9g" on the internet, and I said my best guess was between .5-1g? Good thing you vet your data before plugging it into the old math machine....or are you citing real data that you found somewhere? I didn't think so.
By the way. If somebody wanted to use the brain, there is simple math problem to solve: you have a size of the frame (LxH in cm) and thickness of wax you want to apply (h in cm). It is very easy to calculate the volume of the wax necessary to cover one side V=LxHxh, times 2 = Volume of wax needed for one frame. Than one could google to get the wax density (D g/cm^3). Than multiply volume by density = VxD. Note - do not repeat BayHighlandBees mistake - all science is METRIC! do not use in or oz! If you use cm you will have grams at the end. Great thread. I personally have a lot of fun AND it is very informative.
Deknow - many thanks for acknowledging that BayHighlandBees provided numbers, which leads to 9g/foundation wax coat content. Now BayHighlandBees is trying to diminish his own findings and talking about miniscules amount of wax per foundation. It is inconsistency, not good. As for credentials - Solomon Parker I believe objected that somebody told at this thread that he has a credentials in environmental sciences. Somehow it was sounded that poor guy did something wrong by disclosing his (great) credentials... So, I felt, I do not want to make anybody uncomfortable with my identity. But, if you are insisting, I have nothing to hide: I have Masters in animal and human physiology (including bees),one PhD in Immunology, and one PhD in Molecular Biology. I am a research professor at UCLA Medical School. I have no specific education in environmental sciences, but, yes, it was a part of my Bachelor general education. Education helped me to understand (and solve) the problem, but I am presenting here as an amateur bee-enthusiast. I do not consider myself a beekeeper. So, hello everybody. Sergey

I have melted beeswax before. I do know how a ml of melted wax flows. I've also examined PF 120s. There's easily 1 gram of beeswax per side of a PF 120.
What amazes me is that you won't even acknowledge 1 gram of beeswax per side of a PF 120.
I can understand why both you and the other treatment-free/small cell gurus might be annoyed at the thought that you're putting significant amounts of pesticides into your hives by using wax coated small cell frames.
That's why someone contemplating keeping treatment/chemical-free hives should consider the foundationless approach.
It's a litle tricky, but you can avoid a major pitfall (I've fallen in myself) and get off to a clean start that way.
When comparing foundationless/natural comb to small cell, I'd say that the wax contamination issue tips the balance in favor of foundationless.
Okay, I just weighed an actual sheet of small cell foundation. It weighs 64 grams. Let's see what y'all will do with that. Tell me how dead my bees should be.
Oh, don't forget that they spray the whole frame, not just the foundation faces.
Your foragers will live less an average of significantly less than 8 days (if only you had gone foundationless).
Simple, no?
A PF-120 weighs 252 grams. But that's with the end bars trimmed to 1.25" A PF-120 with fresh white comb built on it weighs 293 grams.
So less than significantly less than an average of 8 days is like what, two days? Could you be a little clearer?
Yes, I will not acknowledge that your off the cuff (or out of your shorts) estimate is anything we should be even discussing. If you want to make a case, make it. If it's based on whatever made up numbers you feel like at the moment, it will be considered with the appropriate amount of skepticism....especially given the dishonest approach you have taken to "prove" how toxic this is (using LD50 data and pretending that bees eat wax like they would medicated syrup).
What amazes me is that you won't even acknowledge 1 gram of beeswax per side of a PF 120.
I honestly don't care what you think should annoy me or anyone else. I've always acknowledged (since 2008 when I saw the first data) that the whole wax supply is contaminated. I've always acknowledged that this is true for the wax on the PF series of frames. I'm not sure what you are accusing me of. I'd rather that clean wax was available.I can understand why both you and the other treatment-free/small cell gurus might be annoyed at the thought that you're putting significant amounts of pesticides into your hives by using wax coated small cell frames.
Gee, someone should write a book.....That's why someone contemplating keeping treatment/chemical-free hives should consider the foundationless approach.
That's a fine choice. My own experience has led me to other conclusions. But what are you comparing? Have you quantified "small cell" like you have quantified "wax contamination"?When comparing foundationless/natural comb to small cell, I'd say that the wax contamination issue tips the balance in favor of foundationless.
That would be the trend predicted from the Wu study.
The Mullin study has other data on contaminants in foundation. If you did a meta analysis of the 2 studies, replotted the adjusted cumulative distributions, then you could generate an actual estimate of the average number of forager days lost.
No, kidding.
For now, we can say that you would lose forager productivity.
'JUst jumping in here w/ a question. Does anyone think that foundationless comb is free of contamination or just less contaminated?'
Basically, yes.
Honeybees are known to be excellent surrogates for examining environmental pollutants of many different types. They just seem to end up back in the hive somewhere. Even radioisotopes.
So, not free of contamination, just less, Right?
Mark Berninghausen
No Sol, not hokum.
If you looked at the types of data listed in the tables, you'll notice that it was in a probability table format.
They plotted the distributions first and then generated those tables.
As a student of environmental engineering, you're going to see alot of those kinds of tables.
Yes Sol, they can tell you what fraction of your hives are predicted to have whatever loss in forager days you want to examine, as well as other stuff.
Yes Mark.
But here's another one: why aren't commercials using fondationless?
Because commercial beekeepers can still find ways to make more money using standard practices.
Now if someone could find a viable way to decontaminate beeswax, then the debate would be over (and maybe small cell would have better chance).
This debate really only applies to a philosophy of beekeeping.
You can't put pesticides into your hive and say that you're treatment free although that is your original intent.
Foundationless avoids some major pitfalls, but is seen by many to be a throwback to another era.
This newbie is confused by this thread. Foundation-less frames are just another somewhat random shot in the mite reduction war. So why all the heat?
I do see many videos of bee removal and that wax is as tough as cardboard, so strength is passable.
I like the idea of foundation-less comb because I can cut the comb out easily or just mash and strain.
On LD50, I trust most chemist, but, their work must meet critical review.
Just saying...

I ordered a CD by Lindsey Stirling, not really knowing who she was, but had heard about her.
She considers herself hip-hop violinist, but I really didn't want to put her in classical, and I don't see her in rock, so I put her in New Age. I was looking around on youtube and happened to see a video of her doing the Mission Impossible theme song with ThePianoGuys. So amusing, I couldn't stop watching!
Where'd she come from? America's Got Talent. How 'bout them apples? She started playing at age 6, after a year of begging to take lessons. She took a 15 minute lesson every other week to start, her parents figuring she'd get bored. Didn't happen.
Now she has oodles of covers for bands such as David Guetta's Titanium, Imagine Dragon's Radioactive, Nicki Minaj's Starships, and Bruno Mars' Grenade. How about Phantom of the Opera, or Thrift Shop by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis? Zelda? Assassin's Creed, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Skyrim? Got 'em. Lindsey composes, directs, and choreographs all her original music and videos. Each video has the outfits, the makeup, the location that make you think, wait, maybe she did it first!
She's here in Cleveland at the House of Blues Monday night the 18th of March. I would love, love, love to go! She is planning a CD of her covers and I hear rumor of a Christmas album. I'm buyin'!
She is quite talented and I can't stop watching her videos! I swear, I'm strung out!

Excerpt: "With the Giants off until training camp, we're periodically taking a look at what the coaches are saying about how their positions looked this offseason in OTAs.
Herrmann said the most important thing, in the wake of changes to the linebackers group, is developing a cohesive unit. Mathias Kiwanuka is moving back to defensive end andChase Blackburn and Michael Boley are no longer with the team.
"This is basically a new group of guys," Herrmann said recently. "And I think the biggest thing right now is we are going out and learning what to do and competing. To me, the competition is going to keep going and keep going and keep going - which is going to make us all better."
Situational subs: Herrmann was asked whether situations will dictate who plays at linebacker.
Is it possible that Herzlich could start at middle linebacker in some games, based on the opponent's tendencies, and the following week a new starter could be in there against a different type of offense?
"I think that is a big part of the NFL game today," Herrmann said. "It is very situational. It is dictated a lot by the offense - what is the offense running? Who is going to be out there? What are our best matchups? Because the NFL is a game of matchups."
Perhaps the Giants can go with Herzlich, Dan Connor and Aaron Curry at middle linebacker depending on the type of offense they are facing on a given Sunday. In passing situations when the Giants use two linebackers, Fewell could go with Williams, Rivers and/or Paysinger. " Read more...

Samsung Galaxy S III To Hit all Four Major U.S. Carriers Starting at $199 on June 21

US Cellular also gets in on the Galaxy S III action
If you're one of the many smartphone fans that have been waiting in anticipation for the
Samsung Galaxy S III
smartphones to land in the United States, it will be coming this month with some specifications that are a bit changed from the first time we talked about the smartphone.
Samsung has announced that the smartphone will be coming on all four major service providers in the United States. That means no matter if you're on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon, you will be able to get the smartphone starting this month. Even US Cellular customers are shown some love by Samsung. The phone will launch at $199 for the 16GB model and $249 for the 32GB model on all carriers June 21
"The U.S. launch of the Galaxy S III is the most anticipated launch of the year. As promised, we are delivering the 'next big thing' for U.S. customers and across all major carriers," said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America. "Galaxy S III introduces new technological innovation and takes sharing to the next level."
The S III boasts a 4.8-inch display with a thin bezel for maximum viewable area. The phone weighs 4.7 ounces and is 8.6 mm thick. The device supports 4G LTE connectivity for fast data and file transfers -- that is assuming the buyer is in an LTE covered area.
The S III introduces the next version of Samsung's content sharing service called AllShare Play. This technology allows the smartphone to automatically recognize other Samsung devices on the user's home network and remotely access files on those other devices. A Wi-Fi network is required for that feature to operate. The smartphone also supports easy sharing for images and uses S-Beam technology to directly share large files such as video and photographs between compatible devices.
The mobile phone runs the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and has Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. The phone runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual core processor (Samsung announced a 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos SOC for world markets) with 2 GB of RAM. The Galaxy S III will be offered in marble white or pebble blue colors.
"The Galaxy S III is the most innovative smartphone on the market today. It is an industry first to see five major carriers align behind the launch of a single device virtually simultaneously," said Todd Pendleton, Chief Marketing Officer for Samsung Telecommunications America. "To support the immense excitement for the Galaxy S III we will execute our biggest marketing campaign ever. Consumers won't be able to miss why this device is the must-have smartphone."
"When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." -- Sony BMG attorney Jennifer Pariser

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Giants intend to put third baseman Pablo Sandoval through another round of extra conditioning this spring, and Sandoval won't fight it. But Saturday, he insisted he is in baseball shape.
"Who cares what other people say?" Sandoval said. "I'm here to do my job. I'll keep doing my job."
It's hard to argue with that after Sandoval, at a similar weight, was named MVP of the World Series. He followed that up with a strong offseason, winning MVP honors in the Venezuelan League's championship series.
"If he's not in baseball shape, who is?" second baseman Marco Scutaro said. "He just finished playing like a week ago. He's good. He's fine."
The Giants always believe Sandoval can be better, and manager Bruce Bochy said Sandoval will again do extra conditioning early in the morning before team workouts and would do the same in the afternoons.
"I don't know if that question will ever go away, to be honest," Bochy said. "It seems like some guys, it's a battle for them."
Pill, 28, has had short runs in the big leagues the past two seasons, hitting .239 with six homers and six doubles in 155 at-bats. The majority of that time has come at first base, but Pill has made starts in left field in the majors and minors.
With Brandon Belt -- and the occasional Buster Posey cameo -- blocking Pill at first, he spent plenty of time with his outfield glove this offseason.
"I felt fine out there," Pill said. "I mean, I'm never going to be Gregor Blanco, but I feel good out in left."
Pill worked out at Cal State Fullerton in the offseason and said he took fly balls in left field after batting practice sessions. With Andres Torres and Angel Pagan headed to the World Baseball Classic later this spring, Bochy said Pill is among the players who can expect to see increased time in left field.

What's not to like about a much more powerful cartridge and a few more shots?
The only things that have kept me from getting a G20 are the cost of ammo, and the larger grip. I can deal with the weight and overall size increase; that's to be expected in a more powerful weapon. But the grip is juuuust a little bit larger, and the few times I've shot them, it makes me feel like my hand has shrunk. When I go back to my small-frame Glocks, it has thrown-off my hard-won-through-much-practice pointability. Old-ish dog, new tricks, I guess.
Anyway, if you've never shot one, I suggest that you at least find a shop where you can HOLD one for a few minutes and see how it feels to you.

The season's current lineup of sportswear separates inspires an active mood, with metallics, fluoros and the brightest of brights providing a fresh and invigorating approach to working out. For some of us, it's a chance to get back into an exercise routine after overindulging over the holiday period, investing in workout gear that's comfortable and looks just as good in the gym as it does while you're out running errands.
Nike's ability to push the brand forward with product at the forefront of combining technology and fashion is evident, with its popular range of fluoro-tinged trainers - and more recently a range of Flyknit trainers, an ultralight shoe with a woven upper that weighs only 160g, cushioning every step and stabilising your stride in the process. Available in myriad colours from hot pinks, fluoro yellow and scarlet reds, it's sure to pack a punch for workout gear this season.
For something left of field, designer Jeremy Scott's irreverent approach to fashion is also evident in his collaboration with adidas. Scott's out-there prints and bold colour schemes take the majority of their inspiration from the streets, with loose-fitting trackpants and voluminous tops making the collection an appropriate choice for those taking hip-hop dance lessons or combat classes.
Languid and with a focus on comfort, it is the kind of workout gear that will give your body the freedom to simply sweat it out.

FCC Chairman Announces Next-Gen 911 Action Plan at APCO
At the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International conference in Philadelphia, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski announced what he said were three top priorities toward implementing next-generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1).
August 14, 2011
PHILADELPHIA — At the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International conference here, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski announced what he said were three top priorities toward implementing next-generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1).
Addressing the nation's leading public safety communications officials, the chairman said the commission's top three NG 9-1-1 priorities for public safety include location accuracy, establishment of a governance framework, and funding.
"We need to develop a governance framework for NG 9-1-1," Genachowski said. "We want to make sure 9-1-1 fees states collect are not being diverted elsewhere."
Telecommunications providers collect a 911 emergency service fee from local customers to provide "enhanced 911" services. These proceeds are then given to local and state governments to finance the building and operating of enhanced 911 services.
The build-out of public safety broadband networks has added another complication, and FCC officials want to ensure an effective emergency response in this environment.
"Technological change is transforming society and your profession, creating major opportunities and serious challenges," Genachowski told APCO attendees. "The world of information and communications technology is completely different from when I was an EMT, and from 9/11. It's completely different even from just a few years ago."
The NG 9-1-1 initiative would update service infrastructure to allow the public to transmit text, images, video and data to a 9-1-1 center from a mobile device.
This year's APCO conference also brought FCC officials into presentations and conferences covering topics such as narrowbanding, broadband public land mobile number identifiers (PLMN ID), the environmental impact of radio towers, and regulatory issues.

text: I am new to Trailblazers, I just got one last week. I love it so far but it has one bug. The side view mirrors do not stay put. I adjust them where I like them and put the switch back to the middle position, I then hit the driver 2 button until it beeps twice. I do have the driver two remote and key. Shut it off and the mirrors move next time I start it. Not always and not always the same spot. Is this fixable? Or at the least can I get the mirrors where I like them and disable the auto mirror memory?

Doing a quick Google search, the license plate is a model of a lamp that hangs over a pool table.
The plot thickens.
Nor do I but I have an excuse,I don't get about half of these shirts!
This is the price you pay for running out ahead of everyone with "skill". How DARE you, sir or madam? Mario Kart is about bunching everyone together as tightly as possible for maximum insanity, NOT for taking a lead so large it feels like a casual Sunday drive. For if you do, you will hear the sound of the impending blue shell. And you will only be able to blame yourself.
Great color, great design. Might have to shell out for this one :3
There is a trick for dealing with the blue shell when it is about to strike, at least on the Wii. Right as it is about to get you, flip the controller upwards and instead of wrecking you will just slow down a bit.
But I, too, would like to know if there is a code to that license plate that I don't get.

Actually, the license plate number originates from Italy.
This shirt is a more realistic take on the damage a blue turtle shell would do in the real world.
I'll be back to a real computer tonight. I hate macs

I didn't exactly get this either, of course I never made it past the original Nintendo and Super Mario Bros 2... Bummer it's so low on the selling scale though.
Bwaaahaha on Cowboy getting married... Mrs. CBD?
