Someone reminded me of the age-old mantra: pack your heaviest items next to your back!
It got me to thinking… what's my heaviest item? Food is reasonably low-weight, and my tent is only 2lbs. My sleeping bag is probably my heaviest base-weight item at 3lbs in the winter. All of my gear seems, vexingly, to be the same density.
The absolute heaviest item I carry is my water! But this is always in an outside pocket, for obvious reasons. So, for the most part, I haven't cared HOW I pack my pack. Am I wrong?
So, how do you pack your bags, frameless and/or framed?

First I stuff my sleeping bag down at the bottom, then extra clothing (beanies, longjohns etc).
Then food bag, then stuff a possible jacket next to food.
Carry tent on outside of pack in center pocket, carry a trekking pole (for tent setup) in water bottle pocket. 1 water bottle in each side pocket.
My pack is 27 liters, has a top lid where I can stash trail snacks, rain gear, first aid etc. My pack with shoulder strap pocets (Zimmerbuilt) weighs about 22 ounces.Dec 4, 2012 at 9:06 pm #1933209

I too prefer the "shove everything into the one big hole" approach. Faster, easier, AND more space efficient than wrestling stuff into all different stuff sacks.
Very similar to the above, except I prefer to pack for inclement weather so I don't have to worry about weather changing…
1. Line the pack with a giant garbage bag (mine is 32-gal contractor's bag purchased @ Wally World)
2. Fold deflated sleeping pad and slide in flat against the pack back – for added cushioning against my back
3. Stuff sleeping bag, then clothing, misc. gear, food, etc. – with one stuff sack housing small bits and pieces
Twist and garbage bag shut, then close up pack and cinch tight.
4. Finally, attach tent to the outside of the pack — for easy access (esp. if raining).
My pack has a few outside pockets. I like to put in there the day's lunch and snacks, a small first aid kit, and shell jacket.Dec 4, 2012 at 9:23 pm #1933213

Like the OP, I find everything weighs about the same these days. The way I pack stems from how I want to access stuff.
Depending on the length of the trip, the food bag is often the heaviest thing, but by golly it's going right on top 'cause I need to get to it for lunch breaks. The tent's going in the front mesh pocket so it's accessible without opening the pack when setting up in the rain. Sleeping bag and clothes bag go on the bottom because they fit nicely next to each other.
Weight/balance just doesn't enter the equation.Dec 4, 2012 at 9:24 pm #1933214

I load sleeping bag (compresion stuff sack, compressed to 12" length – horizontal, gives pack bottom structure), then tent (The one),food sack (Ursack),clothes, POE air pad, cooking kit (beercan/esbit) verticle on top of sleeping bag. Down jacket across top of verticle components to tie it all together. About 2400 CU IN MYOG pack.
My water is 2 – 24oz sport drink bottles attatched to my shoulder straps. (I think they offset weight on back nicely)
My gear loading is more for pack rigidity, while keeping weight center and middle of back.

It's not weight per item that's important, it's density – weight per volume
I have mattress burrito style around pack on the outside.
Loosely put in sleeping bag
Dense items go between sleeping bag and mattress, next to my back – food, tent, water, fuel.
Throw in other stuff where convenient
Insulated vest and rain jacket on the top
Should dense items go lower down or higher up? Maybe for easier carrying you want dense items higher up but for more stable when you're bushwacking or whatever you want dense items lower?Dec 4, 2012 at 10:07 pm #1933223

@jaseLocale: A tent in my backyard - Melbourne
At this point in my set up, I use two zpacks large rectangular dry bags and one zpacks stuff sack (which came with the tent).
My lower zpacks dry bag contains:
sleeping bag
spare clothes
My middle dry bag contains:
ditty bag
ziplocked food stuff
cooking gear
down insulator jacket
Top layer stuff sac contains:
hexamid tent. **This sometimes goes on the outside of my pack.
My logic is that the top dry bag is the bag I access most during the day, for cooking or whatever…in which I'll probably need to don some insulation anyways (if I am stopping for a meal or tea break), which is why my insulation jacket is found in there also. So this works well. Even though my tent sits on top (however often on the outside), it takes up miniscule room, and is easily pulled in and out. Plus, it will be the last thing to be packed after 'packing up camp' in the morning. The bottom dry bag is purely for camp set up in the evening. All up, I think my dry bag configuration weighs in at approx. 3.5 ounces…which is more than acceptable for me.
For dry or warmer camping, I simply use a zpacks pack liner, and chuck the whole lot in…roughly in the same order as I would if using dry bags.

I like to put my tent in first, just so I can curse my bad luck when it begins to rain. Then on top, I put my spare clothes, followed by rain gear, food, and then my sleeping bag on top so I can curse my bad luck when it's time to eat lunch.
I should mention that this is on Day 10 of the trip, where I stop caring…
I lived out of an E-Vent dry sack (Size M-14L) that was strapped to my bike rack for a 30-day trip. I had a hydration pack with a camera in it, a frame bag for all my food (only needed to carry 2 days max) and a floppy little front bag for bike stuff. This set-up actually worked, but the packing and unpacking became a nightmare by the end of the 30 days.
I lost two straps for my hammock (eventually re-purposed the straps that held the E-Vent sack on), and took about 3 minutes longer than my friends every time we packed up.
The Kicker: Luckily, I still had an amazing, life-changing time. My backpack is like every other space I occupy; constantly disorganized, illogical, inconvenient, but beloved and well cared for. Maybe someday I'll get a system down (after thru-hiking?) but for now…
My packing mantra is "Screw it!"Dec 4, 2012 at 10:27 pm #1933227

@jamesdmarcoLocale: Finger Lakes
For trips up to about a week (7-8 nights) I use a Murmur at ~8.5 ounces.
I generally plan on two internal bags.
The first is a eVent dry bag for my sleeping bag and sleeping cloths (long johns, down sweater, wool socks) and goes in the bottom. Pulled inside out, it doubles as a pillow when stuffed with the pack and rain gear.
The second is a dry bag for food and goes upright near the center. It is also a dry bag and doubles as a bear bag. Food is usually figured at a bit more than a pound per day(~1#2,) soo, for a week long trip I often take about 8 pounds. Food is my single heaviest item. It varries in composition…
My tarp is about 8'x10' and is a shaped tarp. I have also had it up as a short (~5') lean-to. Rolled tightly, it goes next to my food bag. My pot goes on top of the tarp. The spoon, stakes and lid slip down along my back (hooks first.)
I also bring a small rock sack or ditty bag for small stuff: 2-3 bandaids, ~5' of duct tape, water treatment, a pair of 2016 batteries, an eLight for any night hiking, 35' of bear line, 10yd of some fine spectra cloths line(30# fishing line,)a small notepad, pencil, lighter, pills, leatherman micra, etc. This packs below the tarp.
The pad is a custom torso length NightLite. It is about 53" long. This *just* fits into the pad pockets outside the pack. This doubles as a frame for carrying the pack. The ~2" thick padding makes a *very* good frame for loads up to about 30 pounds, but I don't carry that much.
The SVEA 123 & cup go into the left hand pocket along with the wind screen.
A 12oz PET bottle of fuel goes into the larger front pouch, along with my rain jacket, fleece, fishing rod & reel, a couple spools of leader, a small flybox and small point&shoot camera.
My right hand pocket *just* fits two .5 liter gatoraid bottles.
Total weight is between 16-23pounds, depending. If I expect to use a lean-to somewhere, I will add a neoair. I use the NightLite to level what I can, so, both go. Lean-to floors are *hard*.
I use a Miniposa for longer trips. Really, this just provides extra space for food, though. I have gone as long as three weeks out with the Miniposa and came back with a couple days of food. There was plenty of room in that pack. The longest with the Murmur was around two weeks at about 26# to start. It was full at the start.Dec 4, 2012 at 10:27 pm #1933228

I put everything in pretty much the same place all the time.
Food on bottom. Tent on top of that. Pillow on top of that. Alcohol to the left. Canister at bottom right. Water above that. etc…

@ebasilLocale: Atzlan
Like Jerry, I put the same stuff in the same place, every time. Unlike Jerry, I do it in an external-framed pack…but the concept is there. My "places" do have something to do with weight placement and balance, but with variations based on utility and convenience:
Bottom center, outside pack bag: Tent, stool, camp shoes
Outside Pockets: Left Low — First Aid and Latrine; Left High — water and water filter; Right High — water and lunch food; Right Low — stove/cook rig with fuel; Center: ditty bag, rain cover, cord, headlamp.
Lower Compartment in Pack Bag: sleeping bag and cell phone
Main Compartment: clothes and sleeping pad in bottom, fishing rig and kite vertical along sides, mess kit, food above that (if no canister) and then rain gear on top, or rain gear on top of the mess kit layer and then the canister on top and under the cover. Where more water is required, it's at the "food level" in the pack.
I have no issue, whatsoever, with the "torso collapse" that Ryan Jordan defines and Dave Chenault discusses in a current review of frameless packs, due to a solid frame structure that maintains stability and position as long as I do my part and balance the load laterally. I also bias weight toward my back, where possible notwithstanding my ditty bag cantilevered off the outside rear of the pack pretty much. The most dense/heavy part of my load is always the food and water, which ride as high and forward as possible.
On extended trips, where the food and fuel weight are higher, the weight apportionment is very apparent and effective (including the "effect" of beating down my joy under the weight of excessive grams, ha ha!). With a light weekender load, in warm, dry weather and no bear canister country, it's not as apparent or important.
I find that packing the "same stuff in the same place" enables me to easily maintain pack balance without thinking, reduces my tendency to lose things or forget where I've put them and simplifies my ongoing process to lighten and economize the gear I carry. It's faster to pack, and much faster to access gear, when I know right where it's gonna go or be.Dec 5, 2012 at 7:33 am #1933269

Current pack is a (heavy) Osprey Aether 60.
I start by loose stuffing my Mamot Pinnacle into the bottom inside of a contractor bag. I continue by adding the pillow/sack that contains spare socks/sleeping clothes/EB Downlight hoody.
On top of that I have a sack with food and a sack with my mess kit (ti pot, canister, cheapo chinese stove, spork, cozy).
The front pocket contains my rainjacket, a small tyvek ground sheet/mat, and my TT Notch.
One side pocket has a 1L Nalgene, the other has a cut-up plastic lab bottle that acts as a scoop and funnel and hold aquamira and my steripen.
The lid pocket holds first aid/HBA, TP, and snacks.
I also have Zimmer hipbelt pockets added for trail mix/gels on one side and phone/incidentals in the other.
My current pad (also heavy, older thermarest) is in a sack strapped to the front/bottom.
Trash bag eventually goes under the lid, on top of the food/mess. I also quick stow my driclime/whatever under the lid when stripping layers.

For our G-Lite 50s, we put the stuff we are going to use once we get to camp in the bottom of the pack…Sleeping bag and pad, followed by the tent and bear can. Then we wedge our extra clothes around that.
On top of it all go our fleece and rainshell–because we might want those while be are hiking, and don't want to dig around for them. IN fact, on a cold morning, we'll start out wearing the fleece, then just tuck it into some shock cord on the outside of the pack so we don't have to open up the pack on the trail.
lunch and water go in the outside pockets. Camera, compass and whistle in our pants.
Yep, we got a whistle in our pantsDec 5, 2012 at 10:03 am #1933304

Principle: the heaviest item should be next to my back and just above my center of gravity (which, for me and many other women, is below the waist).
The heaviest item when starting out is obviously my food bag, so no problems early in the trip. By the end of the trip, though, it's more of a puzzle! Once the food is mostly gone, my sleeping bag (plus base layer used only in camp) and extra clothing bag (other than rain gear) are the two heaviest, and they're close to the same. However, the sleeping bag goes in the bottom because things pack better that way. The extra clothing is on top so I can access it during the day. Shelter, water, snacks and rain gear are in the outside side pockets (mostly in the side pockets). The rest consists of a bunch of smaller items of fairly comparable weight. The densest item is my fuel canister, but by the end of the trip that's almost empty, too. As a result, the last couple of days there's no heavier item to put next to my back.
This phenomenon is a good argument for compression straps on the sides of the pack, to pull a not-so-full load closer to my back. Unfortunately, my pack's straps are on the front.

"For ten years now, LJ's Movers & Shakers has been spotlighting librarians and others in the library field who are doing extraordinary work to serve their users and to move libraries of all types and library services forward. They hail from all corners of the library world and several nations. Nominated by their colleagues, friends, bosses, and just plain admirers, they are just the tip of the iceberg." - Library Journal
Honestly, last Monday I was stunned. Mouth unbelievingly agape, eyes wide & blinking, and most likely resembling some kind of redheaded goldfish. The tweets got to me first and when I saw the posting & the amazing 49 librarians I was listed with ... I said - out loud - a Scooby Doo "Zoinks!" I also felt like just doing a Wayne's World "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!"
So, being quite stunned, and unusually speechless, I really pondered all this past week whether or not it would look like shameless self-promotion or gratitude to blog my thanks. Being thankful won. I felt squirmy... happy...but squirmy.
Of course I called my Mom & Dad straight away when I realized it was real and that I wasn't being punked but that's about it. So yes...SQUEE! I am so excited I can't believe it! Or to quote another of the Movers & Shakers Mr. Ned Potter, thewikiman: "I'm thrilled, delighted, proud, giddy, grateful, a little intimidated, honoured and above all excited." Yeah! What he said! Speaking of Ned - his thank you video was just brilliant...no really..watch this!
Gratitude is Good & Pay it forward. For fear of sounding very Californian & New-Agey I do believe that everything good that comes towards you is in direct relation to how much good you give out. I plan to keep giving, sharing, teaching, and paying it forward. I don't think stuff like this will go to my head, if it seems like it - lob an apple at me (or tweet or comment) Being able to make fun of myself is both a blessing & habit.
I want to thank my peeps, my tweeps and my amazing worldwide PLN! I've been touched by so many amazing educators in the past several years - I can't list them all here because I'd be crushed if I left anyone out - but you know who you are! Those who have been sharing, supportive, & who have brought me along on this amazing roller coaster ride of ed tech library goodness! I also want to thank those who nominated me for this recognition & took their time to write about my work & practice! But at the risk of looking like a celebrity name-dropper... I must thank good friend and my official mentor (appointed by Gale/Cengage & SLJ!) Dr. Joyce Valenza for her nomination, her continuing inspiration & for her amazing generosity! I also want to thank Diane Cordell for her staunch support & friendship.
It is also an amazing honor to be named with fellow Geek Tribe members and teacher librarian pals John Schumacher (or Mr. Schu) and the Unquiet Librarian herself (long overdue!) Buffy J. Hamilton. Both of whom I consider amazing teachers and librarians and who are a constant inspiration to us all! Buffy has even generously offered to be a guest on the TL Virtual Cafe in may with Jennifer LaGarde on EBooks!
Also on this "2011 class list" is the amazing Librarian by Day Ms. Bobbi Newman who I have admired for years and whole-heartedly endorse for ALA Councilor-at-Large!
With her permission I'm going to re-post her excellent list of all the Movers & Shakers below...plus - you can also subscribe to all the blogs in one click! Thanks to the Google Reader bundle from Micah Vandegrift!

Following the success I had with upgrading my MacBook Pro's hard drive with a SSD (solid state drive), I decided to to try the same thing with my MacBook Air. This is a first generation model, pretty pokey and with a small capacity hard drive that uses a hard to find ZIF connector. It's a pain tracking down a suitable replacement, but given the fact that the current generation of this model of notebook starts at around $1300, I figured it was worth looking around. Besides, I've always wanted an excuse to open it up and see what makes it tick.
I didn't have to look much further than OWC, the company that supplied the SSD I reviewed earlier. My wife (with a little hint) ordered a 30GB ZIF SSD kit for about $100 as a Christmas gift. While 30GB doesn't sound like much storage space, I use that particular machine only for writing and it's always been optimized to reduce the load on CPU, HD and battery. The operating system, applications and local copies of works in progress took up only 10Gb or so. 30GB was plenty for the job.
Taking apart the MacBook Air was a little more challenging than other models (Apple really does pack things tightly in there), but the real challenge was re-installing the OS. Of course I had cloned the internal drive before taking everything apart, and the OWC kit also included a handy external USB enclosure to slip the old drive into, so it should have been easy. Unfortunately — despite the fact that I'd verified the health of the internal drive prior to the operation — both the backup image and the now backup drive refused to restore to the SSD. I suspect the original hard drive was on its last legs and the replacement was even more timely.

Video Resumes Do Pay Off
December 19, 2013
Stephenville, Texas - Students in the College of Business First Year Seminar class during the fall semester of 2013 all were required to create video resumes, through Corner Stone Staffing, for their final exam. Three students were lucky enough to receive gift cards for their video resume submission.
Megan Montelongo, Corner Stone Staffing representative, will tell you that "video resumes are going to be the new thing" and how it makes interviewing easier for the employer. Montelongo tried encouraging the students to record a video by giving an incentive. Anyone who submitted their video early would get their name in a drawling for a $100 and two $50 Visa gift cards. Eleven students were placed in the drawing.
Cassidy McCowan won $100. McCowan had the First Year Seminar class on Mondays at noon. McCowan is from Mesquite, Texas. She attended Dr. Ralph H. Poteet High School and graduated in 2013. During her video resume, she talked about what she can offer a company, what her biggest accomplishments have been, and what others think of her. McCowan is striving to become a high school business teacher.
Victoria Simmons from Colleyville, Texas, won a $50 Visa gift card. She attended Nolan Catholic High School and also graduated in 2013. Simmons has dreams of becoming a financial director. During her video she mentioned the values she can bring to a company, what challenges she looks for in a company, and what motivates her. A little extra about Simmons is that she likes to draw and loves her cats.
The last of our winners was Cameron Gomez. He won $50 and spent it on concert tickets. Gomez went to high school at Crowley High School in Fort Worth, Texas. Graduating with a master's degree is part of his plan. After he finishes his education, he would like to become an accountant. He is currently running cross country and in track here at Tarleton. During his video he said what his biggest accomplishment has been, what he can bring to a company, and what motivates him.

Donkeyboy - Ambitions (new video and remixes!)
Oh Donkeyboy, how I love thee! Last year, many a traditional "pop-blogger" (along with my eclectical self), fell hard and fast for the Norwegian quintet and their mix of spunky electropop. Today, our love grows a little deeper and extremely more steadfast.
Mid-2009 saw the boys release a video for their single, Ambitions. The visuals documented a trip through Abicere Leprous, a fake new and fatal disease that is caused by giving up your, well, ambitions. You can watch the original flick here.
Now, the boys are back with a video that focuses more on their 80's synth-bed softness by paying tribute to the dancing erraticisms of the era. Featured chorus-vocalist, Linnea Dale*, also gets a healthy dose of screentime in the newly-released cinemascape.
Watch now!
* Linnea Dale, in case you were wondering, is only 18 years old, with the voice of someone well-trained and traveled beyond her years.
Makes you feel old, right? Well here's something to perk you up then, in the form of remixes of Ambitions from Jaynorth and Cosmic Dawn. They swoop, soar and are equally sensational.

March 11th of last year began as a typical winter day in New England and a routine day at the Winchester Engineering and Analytical Center (WEAC), the FDA laboratory that tests for radiation contamination of food and medical products, and where I have worked as a radio-chemist for 22 years. The reverie of that Friday abruptly changed when we learned that a powerful 8.9 magnitude earthquake and the resulting tsunami had devastated Japan's eastern coast and that "something possibly was happening" at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors located in the area.
Our small laboratory has responded to radiation-related public health concerns for more than 50 years and has a legacy that includes responding to nuclear weapons testing and the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl disasters. WEAC analyzes food samples for potential radioactive contamination daily and has planned, prepared, trained, and drilled for all types of emergencies. And now we were faced with an actual disaster scenario – were we really ready?
Even before receiving any official assignments, we knew our WEAC team would be central to protecting U.S. consumers from any contaminated food and other FDA regulated products. We were excited, yet determined about this new situation – and knew it was unlikely we would be able to turn our Blackberries off for the foreseeable future.
Because of the extensive devastation and infrastructure damage caused by the earthquake and tsunami, shipping came to a standstill in Japan. We prepared ourselves for an onslaught of samples but didn't get any until late in the month. The first that arrived were fresh fish imports collected in Los Angeles. To ensure these perishable imported products were not contaminated, we committed to a two-hour turn around time for testing the samples and getting them back into commerce. The samples arrived first thing in the morning, which meant activity at WEAC began at midnight. We had to finish our calibration checks, background counts, and other preparations to be ready to act quickly as soon as the samples arrived.
One day is seared into my memory — April 19th. Four separate shipments with 69 samples from Japan arrived at WEAC's door. One analyst arrived early to prepare instruments as two or three other analysts "claimed" their fresh fish samples and immediately began filleting and analyzing their catch. Before noon a second shipment arrived with 30 more samples. It seemed like the shipments were coming non-stop. Our staff of engineers and radio-chemists was cross-trained, but the volume was stretching our capacity. And just as our work day was ending, just when we thought we might be able to catch our breath, another shipment of more than twenty samples arrived!
Like all FDA employees during an emergency, we readily put aside family outings, soccer games, and the like, to protect the public health. In the past year, WEAC has tested more than 1,200 samples of drugs, devices, and various foods, including fresh fish, spices, curry, sake, and pet food imported from the affected area in Japan. We also did testing for the Department of Defense to ensure that rations for our troops were safe. Bottom line, there were no reported incidents of American consumers coming in contact with foods or medical products contaminated by the radiation from the nuclear explosions. Because of our work, WEAC is now the prime lab used by DoD when it needs to ensure that the rations our troops eat are safe from radiation contamination.
A year ago, because of our training and simulation drills, we hoped we'd be ready to handle a real-world disaster when it came. Now, one year after experiencing an actual disaster in Japan, we know we're ready.

Jury Returns Guilty Verdicts in Fraud Case
A jury, after deliberating for approximately eight hours, returned guilty verdicts today against Mahmoud Younis, 55, of Dearborn, Michigan, the owner and director of The Training Center located a 5003 Schaefer, Detroit; Registrar and Assistant Director, Walid Alsabbagh, age 40 of Dearborn, Michigan; Director of Education, Jamal Mourtada, 50 of Detroit, Michigan; and Admissions Director, Muna Jaber, 46 of Dearborn, Michigan on charges of Conspiracy to Defraud the United States Department of Education, wire fraud, and student financial aid fraud. Additionally, Instructor, Sahar Younes, 26 of Dearborn, Michigan was convicted of student financial aid fraud, United States Attorney Jeffrey G. Collins announced today. Samira Mouzahem was acquitted of making a false statement.
Three other defendants is this case have previously plead guilty. They include Miriam Chibb Chibb who plead guilty to making a false statement, Linda Johnson, the Financial Aid Director, who plead guilty to student financial aid fraud and Gregory Moore, the Ability to Benefit Test Administrator who plead guilty to student financial aid fraud.
The four-week trial was conducted before the Honorable Paul D. Borman in Detroit, Michigan.
The evidence presented at trial established that the defendants Younis, Alsabbagh, Mourtada and Jaber falsified or directed the falsification of records and violated regulations in order to continue accreditation and to receive funds from the Department of Education (DOE) by falsifying General Educational Development (GED) certificates, high school diplomas, Ability to Benefit tests and certifications of foreign high school education. In addition, records of students enrolled in or attending classes in ineligible programs were altered and falsified to make it appear as though the students were in an eligible program. The ineligible programs included English as a second language and automated computer aided design. The funds that DOE provided were used for purposes other than to further student education. The amount of loss suffered by the Department of Education is estimated to be approximately $1,000,000.
Mr. Collins added that, "conspiracy to defraud, wire fraud, and student financial aid fraud carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Additionally, the student financial aid fraud alone carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $20,000 fine. Any sentence will ultimately be imposed under the United States Sentence Guidelines according to the nature of the offense and the criminal background, if any, of the defendants." Sentencing for defendants Younis, Alsabbagh, Mourtada, Jaber and Younes, has been set for October 1, 2004.
This case was investigated by the Department of Education, Office of Inspector General and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney F. William Soisson.

There's no universally agreed upon date for the start of WW2. Japan was terrorizing China and Italy was making advances in Africa long before America got involved. Anyway, return to your normal events.
I don't think that all matters though. 39-45 isn't 2 decades It's barely even 1 decade.
That's what this other guy is saying. He's giving the 49ers credit for playing two full decades(40s-10s) when they only played a total of six seasons in these two decades combined! Moke, you're agreeing with me and you don't even realise it lol.
When the 10s are over, the 49ers would have been in the league for 7 1/2 decades...10s(1), 00s(2), 90s(3), 80s(4), 70s(5), 60s(6), 50s(7) and half 40s. Where the heck did eight decades come from?

And a GK.
Also, Bayern will very, very likely rape and pillage us. Our back line blows way too much.
Eddie Binks on Twitter: "Just seen Titus Bramble and Arsene Wenger split a four finger kitkat on a bench in Finsbury Park. done deal?"
With the injury to Kieran Gibbs against Liverpool on Wednesday and Arsene Wenger's reluctance to use an increasingly shaky Andre Santos, a new left-sided defender quickly become the priority in the past 24 hours. But this isn't a panic purchase, despite the need for speed this week. There was a deal in principle for Monreal to arrive at the Emirates this summer, and he has already been taking English lessons in anticipation of the move. Gibbs' injury simply pushed things along.
The 26-year-old Monreal will fit seamlessly at Arsenal. He has an elegant blend of being a tough tackler and a technically gifted player on the ball. His positioning is excellent, while his decision-making has placed him firmly on the radar of Spain's "big two" for a number of years.

Ideal for anyone looking forward to enjoy the well known Lisbon nightlife.
This apartment is a recently renovated studio, with a bathroom, a kitchenette with, refrigerator, tea kettle, and a ceramic hob.
It is a good apartment for one person, but have one extra bed and can perfectly accommodate a couple.
We provide bed linens and towels and they are included in the price.
The apartment is in a typical Portuguese street, between lively Bairro Alto and Santos in the neighborhood of São Bento. The Grand São Bento Palace it's so pretty that even the Prime Minister lives next door! Also enjoy the "Estrela Basilica" or the botanical gardens just at front.
There is a supermarket, plus several restaurants and bars within a 5-minute walk.
Sao Bento is less than 15 minutes walking distance from Cais do Sodré Train Station. The Metro there provides access to central Lisbon in 10 minutes. Lisbon International Airport is 8 km away.
If you walk 10 minutes you´re at "Bairro Alto", known as one of the most attractive and picturesque areas of the Lisbon's city center. At night, this 17th century colorful district is transformed into the city's vibrant nightlife quarter. The main streets and narrow passageways are bustling with activity of dozens of excellent traditional restaurants, «fado singing houses», cafés, and a multitude of sleek clubs and bars that stay open until late. In recent years, «Bairro Alto» is also an alternative shopping destination, for those looking for trendy design shops, art galleries and bookshops.
Bairro Alto, one of the Lisbon hippest and coolest place.
There are several buses and trams, and subway, 10 minutes away, although one can easily walk to the main points of the city. Five minutes walking is the heart of the glamorous and cosmopolitan city can still be felt in the Chiado, a place where the "new" and "old" live in harmony. Characterized by casual-chic atmosphere, with streets full of shops, fine restaurants, beautiful cobblestone, beautiful churches and timeless cafes, Chiado makes any visitor feel real Lisbon.
Chiado is where Lisbon's history and urbanity meet. This tourist area of the capital begins at the Brasileira café, on Rua Garrett. Opened in 1905. It´s one of Lisbon's postcards. On the side walk café you will find the different urban tribes and a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa, who offers his lap for tourist photos.
Next to it, two churches remind the vanished towers of Santa Catarina Gate. The Church of Loreto, built in 1528 by Italians living in Lisbon, was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, but later rebuilt and one of the places to visit on Chiado. The Church of Encarnação, inaugurated in 1708, was also hit in 1755 and rebuilt later. But Chiado has more than just two churches to (website hidden)ís de Camões square, which any Lisboner will call Largo Camões, is not just a passing place. Sit on the steps of the poet's monument and enjoy the bustle that Chiado has.
But do not leave Chiado without inquiring about the theatres. São Luiz Municipal Theatre was one of Lisbon's first cinemas. Today it is a municipal theatre with a rich and varied programming. Also glimpse the Teatro Trindade and the S. Carlos Opera House.
This is one of the city´s best shopping areas. You will find international brand shops (Hermès and Hugo Boss, for example) and great Portuguese designers like José António Tenente (Tv. Carmo, 8) StoryTailors (Cç. Do Ferragial, 8) or Atelier Alves/Gonçalves (Tv. Guilherme Cossul, 16).
It is not difficult to come across public figures, mainly artists. There are several art schools in the area, like the Fine Arts Faculty. Even if you are not an expert, venture into the Chiado Museum - National Museum of Contemporary Art (Rua Serpa Pinto, 4) besides well-cared exhibitions, it has a pleasant patio to have lunch or simply sip a coffee. There is also a big offer for meals: Café Royale, New Wok and Kaffee Hause are excellent choices.

Conveniently located near a tram stop 28.
Ideal for a short break.
Muy bien ubicado junto a una parada del tranvía 28.
Ideal para una breve escapada.
The flat was as described, nicely furnitured. We were 4 people, the appartement was well suited for 4 persons, but in my opinion not for more persons.
The welcome was very very pleasant, Antonio gave us valuable tips for our trip.
The apartment has a very good location, not far to a supermarket, you can walk into the city, and 20 metres from the building you have a great kind of bakery where we had breakfast every day.
Apartment very well equipped, comfortable and not far from the subway station. Magnificent views of Lisbon! We were very well received with a little surprise when we arrived from our host touching careful!
We were delighted with our stay.
Appartement très très bien équipé, tout confort et non loin de la station de métro. Magnifique vue sur Lisbonne ! Nous avons été très bien accueillis avec une petite surprise à notre arrivée de la part de notre hôte: touchante attention !
Nous avons été ravis de notre séjour.
Lisbon city trip ..... nice apartment, warm welcome with great tips, neat and clean. Nice roof terrace where you can have breakfast overlooking the pont 25 avril ...... authentic Fado evening at the corner between the Portuguese, no nothing touristy stuff. Delicious bakery around the corner for a Bica and delicious cakes for almost nothing.
In short, enjoyed
Citytrip Lissabon.....leuk appartement, gastvrij ontvangen met leuke tips, netjes en schoon. Lekker dakterrasje waar je heerlijk kunt ontbijten en uitzicht op de pont de 25 avril......authentieke Fado avond om de hoek tussen de Portugezen, niks geen toeristisch gedoe. Heerlijke bakker om de hoek voor een Bica en de lekkerste taartjes voor bijna niks.
Kortom genoten
Very nice apartment. The apartment is favorable, because close to a subway station and a supermarket. We were received very friendly: it was explained we could find everything in the apartment and the surrounding area. We've got tips for sightseeing (there was also a card) and left a number behind it was we could call in case of problems or questions. This song incidentally was also very easy to reach. Moreover, it was very smooth deal with check-in and check-out times (there also were no bookings immediately before or after us).
The apartment is exactly like the pictures. A very nice view, as the name suggests. The apartment was very well equipped. There were plenty of seating areas, both at the table and in the 'lounge'. Beds are very nice :). Plenty of towels per person. You could get very hot water. Moreover, the entire apartment was very clean. An extra plus: there were stoves available to get the room any warmer. And it was at night very quiet, we had no noise from other apartments.
There is only one drawback for those with mobility problems or are not able to walk stairs. The apartment is on (if I say correctly) the 4th floor. This is fine to do, unless you can not (step) run.
But overall, a great apartment. Really recommended. We had a great time!
Erg mooi appartement. Het appartement bevindt zich gunstig, namelijk dicht bij een metrostation en een supermarkt. We werden erg vriendelijk ontvangen: er werd uitgelegd waar we alles konden vinden in het appartement en in de omgeving. We hebben nog tips gekregen voor bezienswaardigheden (er lag ook een kaart) en er werd een nummer achter gelaten die we konden bellen bij problemen of vragen. Dit nummer was overigens ook zeer goed te bereiken. Bovendien werd er zeer soepel omgegaan met check-in en check-uit tijden (er waren overigens geen boekingen vlak voor of na ons).
Het appartement is precies zoals op de foto's. Een super mooi uitzicht, zoals de naam al zegt. Het appartement was erg goed uitgerust. Er waren genoeg zitplekken, zowel aan de tafel als in de 'zitkamer'. Bedden liggen erg lekker :). Genoeg handdoeken per persoon. Je kon erg warm water krijgen. Bovendien was het gehele appartement erg goed schoon. Nog een extra pluspunt: er waren kacheltjes aanwezig om de kamers eventueel warmer te krijgen. En het was er 's nachts erg rustig, we hebben geen geluidsoverlast van andere appartementen gehad.
Er is alleen één nadeel voor mensen die slecht te been zijn of niet goed trap kunnen lopen. Het appartement bevindt zich op (als ik het goed zeg) de 4e verdieping. Dit is prima te doen, tenzij je niet goed kan (trap)lopen.
Maar kortom, een topappartement. Echt een aanrader. We hebben een hele leuke tijd gehad!
We (2 couples in the age 27 - 32) were 4 nights in the beautiful home of Mr. Costa.
The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated.
Man had everything you needed in the home, both for cooking and for sleeping.
The apartment was very well located. Man was because between 2 metro lines. Red line (the airport, Parque das Nações and because shopping center Vasco da Gama leads) and the Green Line, which leads to the center and the two shopping centers Corte de Ingles and Columbus.
We were very pleased and can only recommend the apartment.

APCNews 116 – Violence in Nigeria, Internet for schoolgirls in Pakistan
APCNews – March 12 2010 – Year XI Issue 116
The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
APC first came into contact with the rural Nigerian group Fantsuam Foundation when they won the 2001 APC Africa Hafkin Prize. At the time, Fantsuam ran a small micro-credit scheme and had introduced computer training for their borrowers – though Kazanka Comfort who ran the foundation told us that her dream was to eventually see women in all the local communities linked up by email so that when there were outbreaks of sectarian violence the women could email each other and get help.
Since 2001 Fantsuam has taken technology far in their efforts to alleviate poverty. They've set up a high tech training academy and provide internet to thousands of people. Since 2004 they have been using GEM –APC's Gender Evaluation Methodology– to evaluate the extent to which they are changing the lives of women in their communities. In the latest outbreak of sectarian violence this week Fantsuam has had to help bury 287 dead – and they were almost all women and children. In the month of Women's Day and at the same time as the UN Commission on the Status of Women is meeting in New York, Fantsuam sees the extension of GEM into the broader Nigerian community as a potential solution.
GEM in Hard Times: Sectarian violence in Nigeria can be beaten
KAFANCHAN (John Dada for APCNews) – Since January, sectarian strife has ripped through Nigerian communities. "A mass burial took place the day before yesterday and body counts are close to three hundred with over 80% of them women and children," APC member John Dada told APC. "It is ironic that in the month of the Celebration of Women's Day, such atrocities are being visited on innocent women and children." Women are culturally respected as the givers of life and John blames deepening poverty and economic alienation for the cultural reversal but he sees a potential solution.
Internet, schoolchildren and rural Pakistan: How to get community buy-in including for girls
CALGARY (LC and KAH for APC) – In rural Pakistan girls schools are sometimes burned to the ground, so when twenty-nine year old Huda Sarfraz and her team started to teach Punjabi girls how to create websites and use online chat, she feared they might be run out of town. However the girls clamoured to learn as much as the boys did and —overturning societal taboos— over-subscribed for the extra-curricular classes – ending up producing prize-winning websites. As a result of exposure to APC's Gender Evaluation Methodology (GEM), and despite their own cultural reservations, Sarfraz's team focused specifically on getting girls and women teachers involved. "Initially, we only saw two groups to work with — students and teachers. However because of GEM, we looked at them as four—girl students, boy students, women teachers and men teachers," says Sarfraz.
APC at the UN Commission on the Status of WomenNEW YORK 3 March 2010 (GenderIT.org) A small team from the APC women's programme is in New York from March 1-12, blogging and tweetting from the UN headquarters. While governments are busy reviewing the Beijing Platform for Action, civil society organisations are being kept at bay and struggling to take part. Yet they are still managing to keep busy by organising side events, networking, and advocating for the inclusion of a women's rights perspective in all the discussions. APC is closely following the discussions about communications rights and the role technology plays within. Our coverage is on GenderIT.org. http://www.ips.org/mdg3/ict-for-womens-rights-acp-looks-at-ney-york-csw/

Access to knowledge conference in Yale: Video interviews
More than 20% of human genes are patented in the US – preventing people from accessing affordable and appropriate testing and diagnoses of genetic diseases. This is only one example of how restrictive intellectual property legislation is impacting human rights. At the Yale Information Society Project's conference, where APC was an organising partner, these issues including the impact on innovation, scientific research, freedom of expression online and education were discussed by civil society and adademia.

text: About ready to set up my two hives and am trying to decide on whether or not to place them in full sun. I could also put them in a spot where they would get full sun until noon or so then be in shade/filtered sun for the rest of the day until sunset. Which is the better spot? Our temps here can easily hit mid-90's from late June well into August. Will the bees care?

There is no higher standard of protein than ISO•100' so feel confident that you will be feeding your muscles to their fullest potential! Check the stats: each serving has an astonishing 24 grams of protein' with "0" Carb* & "0" Fat. Look closer. You will see that all this is in a serving size of about 28 grams' making ISO•100 90% protein by weight! Nothing out there matches our formula' nothing even comes close.
The meticulous processing of Dymatize Whey Protein Isolate gives you "instant mixability" in its true form. You won't believe how quickly Dymatize ISO•100 goes into solution. And' because of its ultra-purity and zero lactose' Dymatize ISO•100 could be the easiest protein to digest on the market today. Don't forget' with zero* carbohydrates' Dymatize ISO•100 is perfect for low carb diets.

Where I stayed
Edmonton to Calgary via Drumheller 4 degrees occasional light snow
Today we drove along some very straight roads past more farming land, mostly wheat fields (which are currently just stubble). Our main stop was at Drumheller, situated in the Canadian Badlands, which is most famous for past coal mining and dinosaur fossil discoveries. The town has really taken on the dinosaur theme with a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex replica (26.2m) and many other smaller replicas scattered through the town. We stopped at the historic suspension bridge and then drove on to the Hoo Doos. The Hoo Doos are unusual rock formations, caused by erosion, amongst the steep dry coulees which surround the town. Back on the road we passed more wheat fields on the way to Calgary, driving through the occasional snow flurry. Our hotel room looks out onto the Olympic Ski Park, venue of the Winter Olympic in 1988.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Best of best house.
The host, Enrique is very kind.
And his house very comfortable and has everything.
so, while we stay there, always I was satisfied.
If you want to find clean, comfortable, and good location house in madrid,
I recommend Enrique's house.
In my opinion, Enrique is no.1 host in madrid.
Thank you Mr.Enrique giving us nice experience.
Wow, this is the best kept secret of Madrid. It is a great apartment, not very big, but just the right size, cozy and very stylish. We enjoyed the neighborhood of La Latina, an authentic, non-touristic area where the locals live. At walking distance you'll find lots of small pubs, cafes and restaurants.
Unless you like crowded areas with busloads of tourists, Enrique and his apartment are the best choice for a great stay in Madrid. We loved it!
Enrique is a very nice host. He welcomed us very well, gave us map and very good advises to enjoy our visit of Madrid and provided all the key elements (towels, etc.) to have all the comfort on the flat. The flat was exactly as described on the website very clean, cosy, and comfortable with all the key devices (nespresso, wash machine, micro wave, etc...) to enjoy.
I recommend Enrique for your visit in Madrid.
Perfect and comfortable stay in this apartment of Henry. It has everything you need, very clean, quiet and especially emphasize the great hospitality and friendliness of Enrique. at all times attentive to our needs. I recommend it without a doubt. The perfect location, close to metro and all kinds of shops.
Fab week. Enrique Thanks and see you soon.
A hug
Juan Carlos
Estancia perfecta y cómoda en este piso de Enrique. Cuenta con todo lo necesario, muy limpia, tranquila y sobre todo destacar la gran acogida y amabilidad de Enrique. en todo momento atento a nuestras necesidades. La recomiendo sin lugar a dudas. La localización perfecta, cerca del metro y de todo tipo de comercios.
Repetiremos seguro. Gracias Enrique y hasta pronto.
Un abrazo
Juan Carlos
We found an apartment very well located in a central but tranquila.El equipment is very complete and also has many details that have made us feel right at home. Enrique, the host, welcomed us very kindly and provided us with lots of information you have provided to know the recommended ciudad.Muy.
Hemos encontrado un piso muy bien ubicado en una zona céntrica pero tranquila.El equipamiento es completísimo y, además, dispone de muchísimos detalles que nos han hecho sentir como en nuestra propia casa. Enrique, el anfitrión, nos ha acogido muy amablemente y nos ha proporcionado muchísima información que nos ha facilitado conocer la ciudad.Muy recomendable.
Enrique was very helpful and considerate host. Gave us plenty of information, tried to be help of during our stay. Apartment was cosy and nice as it's shown in the picture. Nice area, close to metro and plaza mayor.
To me the best thing in the Madrid was this apartment actually. If I visit Madrid again, I'll definitely choose this place again. Highly recommended!
The apartment is great, very well located near the metro station Arguelles. It is tastefully furnished and equipped with almost everything you would at home, gel, shampoo, conditioner, plenty of towels and even coffee. No doubt repeated in this apartment. Henry was aware of our arrival the day before by email and in your apartment left a table with all the tourist information you could need.
El apartamento está genial, muy bien situado cerca de la parada de metro de Argüelles. Está muy bien amueblado y provisto de casi todo lo que tendríamos en casa; gel, champú, acondicionador, muchas toallas y hasta café. Sin duda repetiría en este apartamento. Enrique estuvo atento a nuestra llegada los días antes por correo y en su apartamento nos dejó una mesa con toda la información turística que pudiéramos necesitar.
The apartment was excellent in terms of quality and location. The nearest metro is only a 2 or 3 minuet walk from the apartment, which gives you full access to all of Madrid. Small and large food stores are again only a few minuets from the apartment.
Enrique was very kind to supply us with information prior to our stay which we found very useful.
I would highly recommend this apartment. My family and I thank Enrique for his hospitality.
We have stayed in Enriques apartment for 4 nights. We enjoyed it very much. Before we arrived Enrique wrote to us and explained the way from the airport to his apartment, so it was very easy to find our way with the metro . When we arrived Enrique was very helpful, he explained how everything worked and he had all kinds of touristinformation for us to use. The Apartment was in a nice neighbourhood with supermarkets, bars and restaurents, but only 10 minutes from Madrids Plaza Mayor. We would love to return another time.
Very nice apartment! Very clean and comfortable, close to the center (within walking distance). On the 5th floor (below top floor) in a clean and secure apartment building - they even have their own concierge. Since the apartment is at the back of the building looking into a patio there is absolutely no noise from the streets. Sometimes the neighbours were a little loud but, hey, this is Spain :-) Despite our late arrival around midnight Enrique welcomed us warmly. He had even bought a basket full of fruit, coffee (nespresso coffeemaker!) and milk for our first breakfast the next morning! Thank you, Enrique! We can recommend this apartment to anyone who comes to visit Madrid - be it for a couple of days or longer.

Bel-Red/Wilburton Area
The Bel-Red Corridor is a 900-acre area that stretches between State Route 520 and Bel-Red Road, extending from Interstate 405 to 148th Avenue Northeast. Bel-Red is a major employment area for Bellevue, but some large employers have moved out or reduced operations, in part due to changing market pressures in the area.
Between 2005 and 2009, the city worked with businesses, residents and other stakeholders to determine a new role for Bel-Red in the city's overall plan for growth and economic development. With the City Council's adoption of a Bel-Red zoning and code ordinance in 2009, the area is poised for transformation.
Sound Transit's East Link light rail line will pass through through Bel-Red into Redmond. To begin operation in 2023, East Link will connect downtown Seattle to Bellevue and Redmond/Overlake. Two stations will be in Bel-Red, offering opportunities for the city to plan for transit-oriented communities around them.
Bel-Red is characterized by significant areas of under-utilized land; large, flat expanses of concrete and asphalt; unhealthy streams and wetlands; limited transportation options; close proximity to SR-520 and I-405; and a strategic location between downtown Bellevue and Redmond/Overlake. One of the city's major employment areas, the Bel-Red Corridor features:
In the 1990s and 2000s, some large employers moved out or reduced operations, in part due to changing market pressures in the area. By 2030, the Bel-Red area is expected to generate:
With a newly adopted vision, Bel-Red is now poised to become a model for planning that represents a tremendous opportunity for local, regional and state collaboration in achieving transportation, growth management and economic development goals. The Bel-Red Vision: "To develop a sustainable urban development pattern that dramatically reshapes the future of Bel-Red while allowing the area to transition gracefully from its past."

Well...here I go...
It's either thow out all the junk I have out in the sheds or do something with them.
So, I decided to put together a TBH with an old plastic storage tub I have lying around.
I am going to cut a slot at one end at the bottom for the hive entrance and make end caps at each end of the frams to keep the bees below the top level. I will also fit wood along the supporting sides that hold up the frames to keep the bees in.
Am thinking of cutting out along the bottom of each side...end to end...and attaching 1/8 inch screen.
It should hold 18 or 19 frames.
The top closes nicely with a complete seal around the top.

Where I stayed
City Homestay in Miri
When we reached Miri, Robert drove us to the hotel and pointed to us a few bungalows along the road. There was even a very big house on a hill, facing the sea. The bungalows was so big that one maid occupied one lttle house.
Miri was not very big but moving around town still requires a car ride. During our stay, we did not use any taxi service and we walked everywhere on foot. The furtherest we walked to is Bintang Plaza, which was about 40 min walk away from where we stayed.
There was hardly any sight of taxi on the road in Miri. All taxi services had standard charges and all the rates were publicised at any taxi stand.
Miri had lots of churches as well, as every 400m you walked, you will see a church.
Of the places i went to in Malaysia, Miri was one of the cleanest and safest place. We could walk along the road at night without fear and you can hardly see any rubbish on the floor. Even Singapore East Coast Park lost out to the beach we went to.
Pictures of town and beach are uploaded.
