|20D polyester fabric
|Manufacturer Warranty:

Spaceframe baffles (die-cut trusses of low-stretch fabric) eliminate the springiness found in competitor pads. This create a more stable sleep surface, better for rolling side-to-side and for keeping your elbows off the ground when reading a book. Undulating Lateral Baffles offer the most comfortable and unobtrusive topography for sleeping pads, which combined with the height, stability, quiet farbics, and paltry weight and packed size makes this series the ultimate in pad design. The integrated foot pump is fast and efficient, and vastly superior to using your lungs, especially after a long day on the trail. The Vector features a metalized film layer to offer insulation at an ethereal weight. The Insulated version adds a layer of continuous filament insulation for even more warmth.

Police have cleared the "disturbing" scene of a massive 96-vehicle pileup that shut down a 15-kilometre stretch of a major Toronto-area highway Thursday.
At least three people were injured in the crash shortly after 9 a.m when a snow squall brought dangerous whiteout conditions to the region. Hundreds more were stranded in the frigid cold for hours after the collision in Innisfil, just south of Barrie.
Police closed Highway 400 in both directions between Highway 89 and Mapleview Drive after a multi-vehicle collision blocked the southbound lane. Police cleared the vehicles away by late afternoon, but had to wait for the highway to be plowed and salted before reopening it Thursday night.
"It was a very disturbing sight," Jeremy Gaudet said. "It's the worst accident I've seen in 12 years."
The 34-year-old travelling salesman was heading to London from Orillia when he stopped about 10 vehicles behind the huge crash. He was lucky enough not to collide with any of the cars, but he was still stuck on the highway for more than three hours.
Police cut away large sections of the guardrail — about 10 metres — so that emergency vehicles, people and cars could move from the southbound side of the highway to the northbound side. Gaudet said about 200 cars were still stranded when police let him drive away shortly after 12 p.m. By 4 p.m. all the vehicles had been cleared away, police said.
Police set up warming buses for people whose cars ran out of gas. And anyone who couldn't drive away from the crash was loaded onto Barrie city buses and taken to OLG Slots at Georgian Downs where police had set up an OPP collision centre.
"It looks like they've got a million tow trucks on scene," Sgt.Leon told the Barrie Examiner.
A lot of the vehicles are severely damaged, Sgt. Woodford said.
But only three people were sent to hospital with non life-threatening injuries, he said.
"That's pretty incredible," Sgt. Peter Leon told the Barrie Examiner. "We're very lucky no one was seriously injured."
There is no official cause for the accident yet, but Sgt. Woodford said the massive snow squall that blew through the region was likely to blame. It came on quickly and moved into the region off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay leading to near whiteout conditions on the highway.
"You couldn't see two feet in front of you," he said.
Sgt. Leon told the Barrie Examiner that driving conditions changed rapidly this morning.
"There's a cold front that's moving across the area and literally there's a wall of snow that has just come down across that entire area. It's pushing southwards," Sgt. Leon told the Barrie Examiner. "Any area adjacent to open fields are being severely impacted right now."
Across southwestern Ontario, provincial police reported several highway closures, including a shutdown of Highway 402 in Middlesex County and Highway 401 in both directions in Oxford County.
"My understanding is the cold front is the leading edge of what's going to switch the winds around and cause the squall activity to increase as the day goes on," Sgt. Leon said.
"They're describing it. . .as a storm front moving through, like a severe thunderstorm moving through, it's just coming across and going down. Unfortunately it's impacting a very, very significant area right now and there's supposed to be snow squalls kicking up this afternoon and right into tomorrow as well."

PortraitEric Sheppard is Fesler-Lampert Professor in Geography at the University of Minnesota. He is the co-author and editor of a number of books, including A Companion to Economic Geography (Blackwell, 2001) and Reading Economic Geography (Blackwell, 2003), and of over 80 scholarly articles. His current research interests include spatiality and political economy, environmental justice, critical GIS and interurban policy and activist networks.Robert B. McMaster is Professor of Geography and Associate Dean for Planning in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota. His areas of research include multiple scale databases and cartographic generalization, GIS and society, including environmental risk assessment and public participation GIS (PPGIS), and the history of US academic cartography. From 1990 to 1996, he served as editor of Cartography and Geographic Information Science, and is currently a Vice President of the International Cartographic Association.
Pressestimmen"...engages incisively with what consideration of scale can offer to a wide range of crucial social, physical, and cartographic issues - from environmental monitoring to urban development - and provides an essential starting point in terms of the uses and meanings of the concept." John Agnew, University of California Los Angeles "This volume is both timely and welcome. As society faces a new world order that reflects the increasing tension and simultaneity between local and global forces, it is essential to lay the foundations toward a comprehensive 'theory of scale'. This volume, through its integration and contemplation of disparate ideas drawn from the spectrum of geographical perspectives, is a crucial first step toward that grand agenda." Bernie Bauer, University of Southern California "This is a fascinating book...it covers an intimidating array of subjects but shows how one aspect - scale - can affect all of them in surprisingly similar ways. The depth and breadth of coverage makes the text an invaluable one." Dr Paul Ganderton, Teaching Ecology News. "This book is important reading for all geographers based on its catholic content and because it provides a lens into our diverse discipline. Few edited collections contain such consistently strong chapters. Scale and Geographic Enquiry is recommended for all geographers, especially graduate students and their instructors." The Geographical Journal

2009 Metal Center News Issues
Metal Center News December 2009
Editor's Column
Service Center Survivors All Deserve Recognition
Tim Triplett
, Editor-in-Chief
Picking the service center executive of the year is always a challenge because there are many deserving candidates in the industry. Given the dismal economy, no one—not even our honoree Mike Petersen—would say 2009 was his best year.
But then, that depends on how you look at it. Many companies are showing their true mettle at a time when demand for metal is truly at its worst. Petersen Aluminum, the subject of this month's cover story, is a prime example.
Under Mike Petersen's leadership, his company has managed to remain profitable despite its focus on the commercial construction market, which is among the weakest of the end-use sectors for steel and aluminum. Over the years, Petersen Aluminum has transformed itself from a conventional service center into a manufacturer and distributor of prefinished metal roofing, wall panels and related building products. Along the way it has created and nurtured the PAC-CLAD brand and made it a common spec for architects and builders. Despite its name, Petersen actually sells more steel today than aluminum. With roots in the Chicago area dating back over 40 years, the company has opened four branches so it can serve the entire country east of the Rockies, and has aspirations of becoming a national enterprise. By expanding his product line and geographic reach during the good times, Petersen spread the risk and gave his company staying power during the bad times.
A self-confessed "serial volunteer," Petersen also has distinguished himself through the generous contribution of his time and talents to various trade and community groups. In fact, he was instrumental in steering the merger of the former National Association of Aluminum Distributors with the Metals Service Center Institute—a move that has proven beneficial to both organizations' members.
MCN's Executive of the Year Award recognizes an industry leader for the sum total of his accomplishments—his career batting average, in other words, not just a recent homerun. Even in a down year, Mike Petersen's story provides some positive affirmation for MCN readers who continue to believe in the future of the service center industry.
We briefly considered renaming our award for 2009 the Service Center Survivor of the Year, to honor all of the industry executives who continue to persevere under such difficult business conditions. If you rank among them, you are due some recognition, as well. Congratulations to each of you, and best of luck in 2010.

I have been looking at that book for a while now. I have "The Tactical Advantage" by Mr. Suarez. If you are looking at learning or improving your tactical moves, this is a good book. Very well written.

Today it is snowing again. We have so much snow on the groud dad is running out of places to pile it. The snow is over my shoulders now, so I pretty much have to stay on the beaten paths. Dad says that it is funny to watch me playing in the deep snow. maybe Santa will bring Dad a video camera. I actually sank over my head in the snow when I went to see our nice neighbour. It was a cold week here too. Dad had to put my boots on me Saturday morning for our walk cause it was -27 C. He let me out for a quick pee when we first got up, but I was doing the three-legged walk very fast, so he said that he wanted to make sure I did not freeze my feet so I have to wear the boots. Dad says it will take a few times of putting them on for me to get used to it cause I don't like them. BOL! Dad hopes to get a picture of me wearing my boots for the site. Holiday preparations continue around here. There is this large green tree in the living room with things hanging on it. Mom says I have to be careful of my tail around the tree cause I wag it so much.
We had our first big snow on Sunday night here in Petawawa. Close to 30 cm (14 in) or so. Dad and I spent alot of time shoveling. Well, he shoveled and I either chased the snow he threw or I laid in the snow and watched. BOL! The snow is as deep as my legs, so Dad and Mom even cleaned an are so I could relieve myself easier. Plus it is easier for them to clen up cause it is in one area. The neighbour came over with his snow blower later in the day and made the area bigger for me. He is a nice neighbour.
Dad and I only did our neighbourhood walks the last few days, but today he took me to the big park. At last! The snow was packed down on a couple of trails, but we did break a few of the other ones. Dad took a few pictures and put them on my site. It was almost dark so he says on Saturday we will get better ones. He said he just wanted you to see me in the deep snow.
Mom and Dad continue to prepare for the Christmas season. Not sure what that is but I overheard them saying they had to get a stocking (?) and put some goodies in it for me. That sounds great but alas, I guess I must wait for what the humans call the Big Day! Woof!
We had our first snow fall this week here in Petawawa. About 6 cm (4 inches) fell on Thursday. This was my first snow with this family. It was great. I went out and ran around and played. Dad says we will get much more snow this winter and that was just a light dusting. He says there will be days where it will be up to my belly or deeper. I can't wait. Woof! I helped dad shovel the driveway on Thursday when he got home from work.
Dad took me to the park today. Twice actually. We had a short walk this morning and Mom came out for the big walk this afternoon. Dad took a few pictures of me today and he put two snow pictures on my site.

Give up on your spiritual side
Page Tools
Sean Woodland rues how New Age self-help isn't always a help.
Soon after moving to Bondi, the spiritual capital of Sydney, I began to understand the level of neglect to which I had been exposing my mind, body and soul. In short, I was spiritually deficient. The evidence was overwhelming.
I didn't own a single-self help book, a guitar or didgeridoo that I couldn't play. I'd never even heard of a life coach, had my palm read, been on a diet or participated in yoga, meditation, tai chi or pilates. The only candles I'd ever lit were for birthday cakes.
My parents had never explained to me the importance of attaching my happiness and/or physical wellbeing to a diet, book or stretching routine. How I survived this delusion for so long only Buddha, God, Jenny Craig or one of my enlightened friends could possibly know.
My ignorance of such matters was so great I was not remotely aware of its existence. Clearly, I needed to get in touch with myself or this dereliction of duty would have serious repercussions later in life.
So the search for what was missing in my life began in earnest. I gave up smoking and drinking, then began a high-protein diet (fat people definitely can't be happy). When I hadn't lost the prescribed five kilos or been to the toilet in a week, I changed to a seven-day detox (laxatives) program. This intestinal broom had the opposite effect to the high-protein diet. It became dangerous to move further than five metres away from a toilet, but I did lose weight. On the downside, I was sent home from work for being of intemperate disposition.
Self-help books were next on the agenda. There were more of these to choose from than there were in all the other sections combined. It was difficult to know which books to buy. The words "happy", "love", "living" and "dying" featured in most titles.
I'll even admit to buying a book by the Dalai Lama. Sure, I'm not a Buddhist, but you don't have to understand the properties of food before you can eat. Every night I lit candles, burned incense and read diligently. Eventually it dawned on me that these philosophical masterpieces of self-help are clearly designed to fail. Otherwise there would only ever have been one written. Next stop was yoga. Unfortunately, the flatulence problem associated with yoga precluded me from attending more than once. And I never quite got the hang of meditation as I kept falling asleep.
Life coaching sounded like a benevolent ideology, so you can only imagine my surprise when, instead of coming face to face with an octogenarian full of wisdom and experience, I met a person at least five years my junior with a pathologically friendly grin.
Having expended boundless energy in pursuance of life's holy grail, I ended up intense, tired, confused and hungry. I sought out an ageing friend and asked how she'd managed to negotiate the dilemma of life so impressively without starving herself or visits to a guru. Before sipping on a frothy pint of Guinness and casting a contented gaze out to the ocean, she said: "I just enjoy life."

In an interview with Bob Woodward of the Washington Post, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump estimated last week that he could pay off the nation's $19 trillion debt within eight years.
This claim demonstrates a basic misunderstanding of the debt and its impact on the economy. It is also inconsistent with the tax and spending proposals Trump has espoused on the campaign trail, which are far more likely to grow the debt rather than eliminate it.
What's important about the debt is not its size in dollar terms but its size relative to the economy (GDP) and whether it is on a sustainable path. While the debt is indeed very high by historic standards and is projected to grow at an unsustainable rate over the coming decades, there is no need to eliminate it within eight years. Attempting to do so, however, would require spending cuts or tax increases that risk substantial harm to the economy.
A better goal would be to stabilize the debt as a share of the economy and then begin to reduce it over time. That is what happened following World War II when the debt in 1946 was $242 billion or 106 percent of GDP. By 1974, the debt had grown in dollar terms to $344 billion but had shrunk to 23 percent of GDP -- the post World War II low.
Moreover, no plausible set of policy...

A revised and updated book by former Houston newspaper columnist Betsy Parish looks at the history of Texas Children's Hospital. Legacy: 50 Years of Loving Care, Texas Children's Hospital, 1954-2004 documents the founding and growth of the hospital.
"First of all, I'm a fifth-generation Houstonian. So from a historical standpoint, I was interested in the history having to do with Houston and how all this came about. I wanted to have the human feeling of not 'they did this, they did that, they did this, they did that,' but include in a chronological story actual quotes from the physicians and scientists and individuals who were involved in the growth of that service. I also felt to humanize something that might be thought of as dry by the reader to interview patients and their families."
Parish was the society columnist for the Houston Post.
"Writing a gossip column—quote, unquote—you are constantly talking to individuals and trying to find some juicy nuggets—a totally different method of working. But I have never—before I took on this project—never done anything like this before. When you write a daily column, you sort of have that little sort of mini-sense of accomplishment each day when you finally get one and see it in print. But a book of this length—this book is over 750 pages—we're talking massive, and the sense of accomplishment is, is mammoth."
Parish says it's hard to write about a "moving target," and she hopes efforts will continue into the future to tell the story of Texas Children's Hospital.
Governor Rick Perry's quest to curb the nation's ethanol appetite is gaining him some unlikely allies. The Dallas Morning News reports the list includes liberal environmental groups and companies that benefit from biofuel subsidies. Perry in April asked the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce the requirement to blend nine billion gallons of biofuels with gasoline this year. Perry says diverting corn to make ethanol hurts livestock producers and contributes to higher food prices. Perry has championed coal plants and opposed new ozone restrictions. The Clean Air Task Force, the Environmental Working Group and Friends of the Earth back Perry's effort–saying ethanol production contributes to global warming. Perry spokeswoman Allison Castle says the governor welcomes their support. The EPA faces a Thursday deadline to rule on the waiver request, but may have to delay because the agency has received so many public comments.
The national debate over opening more offshore areas to oil and gas exploration has raised more questions. Just what are the companies doing with the tens of millions of acres they're already leasing from the federal government? Congressional Democrats who oppose President Bush's plan to expand offshore drilling point to 68 million acres of federal land and offshore sites now leased by oil companies that sit idle. The Associated Press reports its part of nearly two billion acres overseen by the Bureau of Land Management and the Minerals Management Service. AP reports some of the non-producing leases under scrutiny are in thousands of feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico, where a decade can pass between finding and tapping a new reservoir. President Bush and those supporting more drilling say the United States is unwisely cutting itself off from new energy sources as the nation brings in most of its oil from abroad.
Unaudited results indicate the Houston Symphony achieved a balanced budget for a fourth consecutive year, with an estimated surplus of $45,000 for the period ending May 31st. Ticket revenue increased another nine percent over last year. By balancing its budget for 2008, the symphony qualified for a challenge grant giving it interest in royalties from three gas wells to be drilled before the end of the year.
Over half a million tractor-trailer and bus drivers who have commercial licenses also have medical conditions that qualify them for full federal disability payments. That's just one startling fact in a new safety study obtained by the Associated Press. Every year hundreds of deaths and injuries are blamed on commercial drivers who suffer medical emergencies while driving vehicles sometimes weighing over 40 tons. An AP review of federal records finds that truckers violating federal medical rules have been caught in every state. The federal agency that oversees truck drivers admits it hasn't completed any of eight recommendations safety regulators have proposed since 2001. One would set minimum standards to determine who is medically fit to drive commercially. Another would prohibit "doctor shopping" to find a physician who might overlook a risky health condition. A Florida bus driver who will figure prominently in a Congressional hearing this week suffers from lung disease and uses three daily inhalers to control breathing. He told Congressional investigators he "occasionally blacks out and forgets things." His commercial license expires in 2010.
The Bank of America posted results that beat expectations, raising hope the credit crisis might be easing for the nation's biggest retail banks. The largest U.S. bank by assets reported that higher investment banking and record revenue helped drive earnings during the second quarter. With those results, four of the nation's five biggest banks have now reported better-than-expected earnings, and that's raising hopes that the financial sector is starting to recover from the year-old credit crisis.
Texas Instruments says its first-quarter profit fell four percent, missing Wall Street estimates. Sales of cell phone chips continued to fall. Dallas-based Texas Instruments reported net income of $588 million. A year ago, the company posted a profit of $614 million. Sales fell two percent to $3.35 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial had expected sales of $3.39 billion.

The Madagascar vanilla beans were not the quality I have received in the past. I found they were really small and dry. My Spice Sage gave me credit so I ordered some Mexican and prime vanilla beans.

On Lemon Peel
I was a little disappointed I was hoping they would be small like what you buy in the stores from McCormick but it was bigger and when I put it in my small food processor to grind it up some it broke the food processor. So I have not used it much in the dishes I wanted to use it for.

I found your site accidentally, but now it is in my favorites. Great service and rapid shipment

Madagascar Vanilla Beans
At the risk of insulting the cooking and baking community, I bought this strictly for use in brewing. I added one whole bean to 2 cups of water, brought to a boil, then allowed to cool. This was added to the secondary, and stayed there for 3 weeks. The flavor imparted had much more complexity than generic extract.
Richard S.Verified BuyerOct 10, 2014
Dealing With My Spice Sage
Being a returning customer I would say my experience has always been great. Service has been prompt, with free shipping and samples, great prices. Have shared your site with many people. I will continue to be a customer.

Great Flavor
The vanilla beans were moist and flavorful. I used them to make a very vanilla flavored biscotti and the flavor was wonderful. Will buy again.
Kimberley M.Verified BuyerSep 14, 2014
Never Disappointed!
I found My Spice Sage several years ago when I couldn't find beef demi glace locally. I have been ordering and experimenting with different spices since then. I have never been disappointed and will continue to shop with My Spice Sage.
Eileen W.Verified BuyerSep 09, 2014
Long, Supple, Fragrant Beans
Not all beans are created equal. Please know you are getting 'top of the line' beans from Spice Sage. I have bought them from importers while in France right after they received their shipments, and they were not quite as nice as these are!

Perfect Vanilla Beans
All too often I buy vanilla beans at the supermarket and they are dried out. Not good. These beans were well sealed, plump, moist, and gave up beautiful beans. I use 5-10 a week so I know I will be coming back!
Joseph L.Verified BuyerAug 23, 2014

I am using the beans to make Vanilla Mead. I'll let you how it turns out in a month or so.

I Love Making My Own Vanilla
The madagascar vanilla beans from My Spice Sage are perfect for making vanilla. I puncture the bean before adding it to the vodka. After letting it sit for a few weeks, the vanilla produced is great!
Melanie S.Verified BuyerAug 14, 2014
Love These!
I make homemade vanilla with these beans and it turns out wonderful!
Laura L.Verified BuyerAug 07, 2014
Vanilla Beans
This is my second batch of these beans, i returned the first because, while they certainly beat regular 'store bought' beans they were not what I'm used to from you guys. The good part is that I'll keep the beans the bad part is I've obviously been spoiled by the superior quality of any of the many other orders I've placed with you. I hope the beans get better by Christmas! I'll be ordering again then.
Christina R.Verified ReviewerAug 03, 2014
Nice And Plump
These beans are beautiful - if a vanilla bean can be be beautiful! :-) I was surprised that they were so large, plump and moist - not shriveled and dry as are the ones I have purchased at grocery stores. Thank you so much!
Judy S.Verified BuyerJul 11, 2014

Vanilla Bean Purchase
I have made several purchases from My Spice Sage and although I was very impressed with speed with which I received my order, I wasn't impressed with the quality of the product. The beans were very thin and almost dry. In addition, I appreciate the free product given with orders, but I think it is unfair that the same number of free beans are given no matter the quantity ordered.
Jessica D.Verified BuyerMar 25, 2014

Very Plump And Moist, Gives
Very plump and moist, gives a great flavor to any vanilla dessert. Also good for making vanilla extract, I used 1 cup of clear rum with 1 vanilla bean split and scraped. I let it sit for a week and it had a great flavor, despite not turning dark brown like conventional vanilla extract.

These Beans Smelled Heavenly W
These beans smelled heavenly when the package was opened. I am using them to make Vanilla Extract. It's taking a little longer than I thought it would but I expect the finished product to be great. I recommend these beans.

These Vanilla Beans Are The
These vanilla beans are the best! After being gifted a vanilla bean by a friend, I have long looked forlornly at the jars of vanilla beans in the store... but they were just too pricey for me at $11 for two spindly little 6 inch beans. I received 7 FREE vanilla beans today with my order here from My Spice Sage, and they were like nothing I've ever had! Plump 9 inch long beans, with a delicious strong vanilla aroma. Here, I can get 8 of these large beans for $8.50. If you want to buy these, do not hesitate. That picture doesn't do them justice, they really are the best!

I Am A Single Male,
I am a single male, 61 years old. If I don't fix the meal I don't eat. I have always bought my spices from the grocery store because that is the only place I thought you could get them. Lately I have gotten hooked on several cooking shows and one of them (maybe America's Test Kitchen) mentioned that getting fresh spices from the web makes a world of difference. I found your website and thought I would give you a try. After selecting several spices I found that you offered free 10 vanilla beans with my order. If it is free it is probably old stock but never having tried real vanilla beans I figured what the hell I'd give it a try. When I received my order the first package I opened was the free vanilla beans. Wait a minute, they were pliable menaing they weren't 5 years old. I went to my local bottle shop and got some good quality vodka specifically to make my own vanilla extract. I slit the beans and put them in the vodka (1 slit bean per half cup of vodka). What a difference! I'll never buy vanilla extract again. In fact, every package of spice I opened smelled so different from the store bought! How did they make everything smell so much stronger than what I was used to? I will never buy spices from the grocery store again! Thank you for changing my life and my meals!

st: CLAD error message and coefficient interpretation
Mon, 22 May 2006 11:36:14 -0700 (PDT)
Hi everyone,
I have two questions regarding STATA's CLAD procedure.
Firstly, I have a censored dependent variable--it is
fraction of plant capacity used. My data set is a
panel of 10 years tracking about 30 different timber
processing factories. Model specification requires
fixed effects and I definitely have heteroskedasticity
so tobit does not do what I need. I read Chay &
Powell's paper and I think they might just provide the
solution to my problem. When I input my data and run
the model, I get an error that states one of my dummy
variables that identifies one of the plants is
missing. The variable IS there. Depending on the model
specification (that is, what other explanatory
variables I include), I get the same error message but
for varying dummy variables. It is always the same
message--"factoryZ not found" (where factoryZ is the
name of the dummy). I have a suspicion this is caused
by collinearity, because when I remove some of the
variables the error is resolved. How can I know for
sure what is going wrong? This error happens
regardless of whether I use CLAD or CQREG (chay &
powell's version).
Also, how do I interpret the coefficients? Are they
likelihood ratios or are they in units of my dependent
variable? My dependent variable goes from 0 to 1.02. I
ask this because one of the coefficients is 1.2 and I
have a hard time understanding what it really implies.
Also, should I use the BIAS value and substract it
from the coefficient?
thank you all in advance,
Kevin McCourt
