WK2 SRT8 Center Exhaust
Something I have noticed, which is good news, is that a center exhaust actually will be pretty easy to do. Look at this pic:
The exhaust is already running in the center and the rear body work is just a diffuser by the exhaust. Someone will inevitably make a new diffuser with only a center opening. Then just route some new pipe to it...easy. Of course, this will only work if you don't option for the trailer hitch.
The diffuser will be similar to this. All of the new srt products are doing diffusers like this in order to accommodate aftermarket exhausts. It is a separate piece which will make the center exhaust mod rather easy on the Jeep.
Black ops to the rescue?

Re: WK2 SRT8 Center Exhaust
yeah he needs to do something with it ... Scott you gonna pick one up?
Re: WK2 SRT8 Center Exhaust
Id go center exhaust in a heartbeat! Glad to see people are already looking for solutions to the "so called" problems :)
Re: WK2 SRT8 Center Exhaust
Wow, when you consider the cost of the new exhaust plus the new lower valance that ends up being a lot of money to spend with absolutely no performance return on your investment. Each to his or her own I guess. I'd rather spend the 2 grand on making it go faster or corner better.......
Re: WK2 SRT8 Center Exhaust
Re: WK2 SRT8 Center Exhaust
Paint, body work, exhaust, etc etc. Itll easily be around that for custom work.
Your hardly lucky to buy exhausts for 500-600 bucks.
Re: WK2 SRT8 Center Exhaust
There is no bodywork. The rear diffuser should not be body colored, it should be a flat black. Being that it is separate and removable, your average joe should be able to install it on there own. The diffuser should cost no more than $400. At $400, there is a nice profit margin, however, they will probably charge $500...just a hunch.
Routing some pipe to two exhaust tips 2 feet will cost no more than $400 including the tips. It will be a sub $1,000 mod. We aren't talking about a full new exhaust system. It will basically be similar to a resonator delete mod work wise.
Re: WK2 SRT8 Center Exhaust
you sure the diffuser is not part of the bumper?

that was what I thought too...

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We would like to gratefully acknowledge Dr. Marie-Claude LeBlanc and the fantastic team at the Monkland Veterinary Clinic in Montreal for their ongoing support and wonderful care of the Kiko dogs. Thank you!
Our dogs are not kept at a shelter. We rely on the generosity of foster families. If you are not ready for a permanent adoption and would like to consider fostering on a temporary basis, please contact us for more information. Food and veterinary care is provided by Kiko—all you need to provide is a warm loving haven.
Looking for a meaningful and lasting gift for a Pet Lover? Donate a Kuranda dog bed to one of our dogs in the name of a friend or family member. A personalized Gift Card will be mailed to them to inform them of the wonderful gift you have selected for them.
Donate a Kuranda dog bed.
Our Featured Pet...
Our dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog to sleep in comfort, please donate a Kuranda dog bed.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

But do the brand's self-imposed limitations really suggest its stewards have no interest in a halo car.
"I don't think it says that," says Lincoln product development chief Scott Tobin.
"The segments are fundamentally the small, and medium premium utilities, the D-segment, and the C or C-D (sedans)," he said.
And that D-segment (Taurus-sized) car can be a full-fledged halo car, he says.

ISLAMABAD, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) --Pakistan Monday conducted a successful test fire of an indigenously developed multi-tube cruise missile, with a range of 700 km, and capable of carrying nuclear warheads, the military said.
Babur Crusie Missile Hatf-VII is a low flying, terrain hugging missile, which can strike targets both at land and sea with pin- point accuracy, an army statement said.
"It carries stealthy features. Equipped with modern cruise missile technology of Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) and Digital Scene Matching and Area Co-relation (DSMAC), it can carry both nuclear and conventional warheads,"the statement said.
The missile was launched from a state of art Multi Tube Missile Launch Vehicle (MLV), which significantly enhances the targeting and deployment options of Babur Weapon system.
"The system has the added capability of real time remote monitoring of missile flight path. The test consolidates and strengthens Pakistan's deterrence capability and national security, " the military said.
The test enables robust command and control capability of all strategic assets with round-the-clock situational awareness in a digitized network centric environment to decision makers at National Command Center(NCC).
In Monday's test National Command Authority's fully automated Strategic Command and Control Support System (SCCSS) was once again employed.
President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf and Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Khalid Shameem Wynne congratulated the scientists and engineers on their outstanding success.
The test was witnessed by Director General of Strategic Plans Division Lieutenant General Khalid Ahmed Kidwai, Chairman of National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) Muhammad Irfan Burney, senior officers from the armed forces and strategic organizations, the statement said.

Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire is England's most sought-after market town, according to a survey by Halifax which found that average prices in the stockbroker-belt haven have rocketed above the half-million pound mark.
House prices in market towns (defined as having between 3,000 and 30,000 inhabitants) almost all doubled between 1995 and 2003, according to the Halifax, which analysed Land Registry figures. Beaconsfield topped the list with an average house price of £550,495 - almost twice as much as the next highest, Midhurst, in West Sussex, at £279,840.
Overall, properties in ten market towns had average prices above £250,000 and 36 towns featured homes worth more than £200,000.
Of those 36, the overwhelming majority are in the south-east or the south-west. The three most expensive market towns in the north are Lymm in Cheshire at £229,412, Wetherby in West Yorkshire at £226,643 and Easingwold, in North Yorkshire with £219,804.
Prices here jumped faster than the south; in 1995 the average property in Lymm was just £79,673.
In most areas price rises in the market towns were greater than in the surrounding countryside. Only East Anglia and East Midlands bucked that trend.
Midhurst and Bodmin in Cornwall experienced the biggest rises in percentage terms - both more than 220%. Those market towns that saw the lowest increases were Immingham (93%), Berwick upon Tweed (92%), Saltburn in County Durham (85%) and Ferryhill (54%), also in Durham.
Estate agents in Beaconsfield were not surprised by the findings and said prices are continuing to rise in spite of this week's base rate rise.
"People come to Beaconsfield for its fantastic communications links and its close proximity to London, its good stock of well proportioned houses, and its schools," said Nick Warner, of upmarket estate agent FPDSavills.
He says after a quiet 2003, prices are very strong, and there continues to be several buyers chasing each available property.
"Lots of people live in the area and commute into London. There are good links into the West End and City - and it's an easy drive round the M25 to Docklands," he says. Fellow agent Bruce Simpson says well-heeled buyers are desperate to move to the town to take advantage of its great schools. "The area still has selective education and several grammar schools. People are prepared to pay to have access to that."
In Wetherby, Sarah Wilson of Hunters estate agency, says the town is "bang in the middle of the Golden Triangle that comprises Leeds, Harrogate and York - and it's where people want to be."
It is helped by the fact that it is an attractive town with good amenities and good transport links, although schools aren't so much of an issue. "Prices have easily doubled over the last eight years - the rises show no sign of abating," she says.
It is a different story in Midhurst, Sussex. Local agent Nigel Howlett sounded positively weary when asked about price rises and described business as very slow.
He says people have moved to the area as it offers "some of the most attractive countryside in southern England and points out that contrary to the other two towns, most residents work in or near.
"We don't have a train station and most new residents have come here for the quality of life, rather than because it is close to London.
"We did see some very large price rises in the past but prices have been very stagnant over the last 12 months, and I don't see that changing for a while," he says.

EAAS - improving living environments Architectural, Extension, Lofts, Cellars, Planning & Building Regulations Applications, Drafting and Interior Architectural Design Introduction It's recognised that design touches and improves almost every aspect of the human environment. More readable spreadsheets, an easy to understand emergency sign, slick ever-changing automotive design, fashion or architecture, our entire world continues to improve due to design consideration. All too often however we are told by the larger developers just what we can have and afford to live in. Through bespoke Architecture, extensions to our homes and restyling interiors we are able to influence our own living environment using design. Approach Impressive Architecture is arguably expected in modern design by quality Architects and designers, however planning a home from the inside out is our foremost consideration. A home is a place where the occupiers interaction is almost entirely on the inside and therefore or paramount importance. Furthermore, if not designed from the inside in a great detail, a focus on architecture will almost certainly mean poorly utilised interior spaces. As a visual statement, a secure place and as a protected environment Architecture is a challenge that we embrace, however we will not compromise on the usability, functionality and enjoyment of living within the building. When developing spaces into a seamless environment we ensure there is a minimum of halls, corridors and free spaces. This ensures the property maintains value and appears to be, somewhat remarkably, far more spacious than perhaps it otherwise appear. Light, both natural and artificial and the placement of light source are highly important. Light varies during the day as are the needs for differing lighting intensities in different parts of the house over time. Likewise the spaces are used in unique ways during the day. There are important times to enjoy spaces or merely to use with the minimum of fuss. Certain aspects of the property give way to pleasure, while others function and there are plenty of opportunities to provided surprises and smooth transitions.

What is the matter with you? I think we should all stay away from people like you. We might catch crazy, mean and disgusting disease.<quoted text>
I have also noticed the teacher in questions name has suddenly disappeared from a previous post...
You would think the rookies at the pd would immediately charge the father at least for being ugly. If he and his daughter have that disease everyone is talking about I'm going to make sure my kids and parents kids don't go anywhere near them. Gross. Everyone wonders why there is always skepticism about how police investigate. Here's a prime example where our tax dollars are going. This should be a strong reminder of who we have calling shots around here. I would have been more content if CS would of handled it by himself then we would have had an outcome that all of us wanted 5 days ago.

what in the world are you talking about?
#137 Nov 28, 2012
I'm sure there's more to the situation than any of us actually know or will find out. I quite frankly don't care anymore just because it's quite obvious that something happened. The kid is in another school and the teacher is still gone. I have read through this feed and quite frankly think there are quite a few parents that need to read what they have posted and ask themselves what they would have done if they were in the same situation as that family is. No one can assume what happened or what the circumstances were until we know all the facts. It's a shame that there is a double standard when it comes to male/female teachers. Had it been a MAN accused of hurting a student most of you would have, no wait ALL of you would have condemned him from the start. Instead I see people shifting blame on a child because you may have had a bad experience with her. Doesn't matter to me why the family chose to go the route they did. Public opinion is just as it is spelled, OPINION... Opinions are like A** holes, everyone has one. Seen many leaders, teachers and idiots come and go over the years in this town. Nothing surprises me any more.

I disagree. We've had male teachers as well as female, I don't discriminate. Secondly, I don't believe my kids are angels and there is a big difference between grabbing an arm and physical abuse. I would talk to the teacher, get to the bottom of it, and then move forward with a resolution but sincerely doubt that I'd ever call the media first and parade my kid on TV.
Lastly, my kids don't misbehave at school, because they have had respect for teacher and administrators emphasized from day one. And both my teenagers went thru AES, one with Dr Harding and one with Dr Hamilton, both thru this teachers classroom.
Not intending to bash the parents involved, but don't cast your broad opinion over everyone.

Yay? It says "no criminal intent", not that she didn't do it. Something still sounds absolutely wrong to me.

Still think we should ask the parent his side of the story. I'm sure there's got to be a light he could shed on this. Someone here care to contact him?

Yes, YAY. No criminal intent. Most likely a kid repeatedly misbehaving, and a teacher at the end of her rope. Good Lord, quit with the helicopter parenting already. If my kid was being a brat, I would have her apologizing to the teacher. There is a difference between abuse and grabbing the arm of a misbehaving child. The police department, states attorney and school district all recognize it. Geez, if my parents called the news media every time the nuns beat the crap out of me with a ruler... but you know what? I'm a better person for it because I grew up with discipline and respect! I knew that if/when I acted like a punk, I'd pay for it. And I'd thank every one of them today if I had the opportunity.
You wonder why there are so many spoiled, entitled young adults in this world, this is exactly why. Parent your kids, people.
#144 Nov 29, 2012
Apparently another parent that is stuck on the old method of teaching and discipline. It does NOT matter. A teacher should not touch a student in a manner to leave a bruise. Its absolutely ridiculous for you to say our assume the child was misbehaving. I have read that NO where. I have also read NO where about the school commenting about this anywhere or the police or the states attorney. Keep your personal opinion out of this and try to stick to facts. Read this and I'll put it in captions for you " STOP TRYING TO BLAME THE FAMILY OR THE CHILD." Stupid ass people always saying things that aren't even mentioned anywhere. What a c!!!

Damn straight. And I have happy, social, well adjusted, honor roll students as kids. I'm proud of them and they know it. Adults like them because they know how to be respectful.
Perhaps you might have paid better attention or been better behaved in school yourself. Had you done so, you might have the ability to have a rational debate rather than resulting to name calling, inaccurate assumptions and jumping to your own conclusions, regardless of what others might have actually said. Consider that I likely do know more than you, because I invested the time and effort to research this, rather than rant and rave on an internet message board about what I have and have not read "no where".

Pot, meet kettle:
"Most likely a kid repeatedly misbehaving, and a teacher at the end of her rope. "
The only person making assumptions and name calling appears to be you.
#148 Dec 1, 2012
I'll be happy to debate with you.
And you know me well enough to know i WON'T call you names, swear at you, hurl insults , etc.
I'll stick to the subject matter.
But if you are going to mention your own personal experiences then those comments are fair game to debate as well.
I will do my best to discuss your experience in a respectful manner.
If nuns have used a ruler on you they were abusing their authority. That is why they no longer are allowed to do that to children. You mention the parents role in raising children. I dare say your parents should never have allowed you to be abused by nuns.
By allowing that to happen to you it has caused you to continue that cycle of abuse and now you believe its still ok to do that when it is not.
Back to this teacher.
She choose to grab that child with so much force it caused bruising.
That was over the top.
She could have called out to them to stop. Got in between the kids and instructed them on what they needed to do.
Touching the kids for any reason at any time is just wrong. Period. That exceeds her authority.
If it had been a male teacher he would have been gone in a heartbeat. That is another point that should be addressed too.

Quite honestly, this is a debate I would not mind continuing, because I do disagree wholeheartedly with you. However, this post isn't the place for it, no matter how many disclaimers are added, people are still going to interpret it as criticism of the parent/kid/teacher (depending on their opinion) involved. TIme for this to fall off. I really didn't even want to reply and bring it back to the top but didn't want you to think I was ducking your comments.
The other person, yes, you are correct, I made an assumption. I'm pretty comfortable with it, based upon the information I learned, and on which the assumption was made. I'm not playing your game tho. No problem being a pot or a kettle for that, but as to name calling, you stand on your own. Say what you will next, I'm done.
#150 Dec 3, 2012
How unfortunate for you that you dare to disparage a father and child and call it a game.
#151 Dec 3, 2012
Your point is well taken my friend.
This is indeed a topic that is much more then about one parent - one teacher.
It really does need to be looked at as a whole situation that has snowballed into what it is now.
We will both walk away from this thread.
I always look forward to real debates and hope we find the perfect thread for it.

NHL officially cancels Winter Classic
|11.02.12 at 3:36 pm ET
The NHL officially cancelled the 2013 Winter classic shortly after 3 p.m. on Friday. The annual outdoor game was scheduled to be played between the Red Wings and Maple Leafs on Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium. In a press release announcing the cancellation, the league said that the teams will play in the next Winter Classic.
HBO, who produces the behind-the-scenes series, "NHL 24/7″ had to know by mid-November whether the game would be played so they could film the teams leading up to the annual outdoor game. In addition to losing the Winter Classic, the league has cancelled games through the end of November due to a lack of collective bargaining agreement between the players and owners.

Cops Come Knocking, Seize Shotgun And Drugs
Police this week recovered a modified weapon, ammunition and drugs when they executed a search warrant at an apartment in the Hammel Houses, law enforcement sources said.
Police from the 100 Precinct searched apartment 2D at 82-02 Rockaway Beach Boulevard on Wednesday morning and recovered a sawed-off Mossberg pump shotgun with a 16-inch barrel, 11 glassine envelopes containing cocaine and a small amount of marijuana, according to law enforcement sources.
Also recovered were two shotgun rounds, about 80 other rounds of ammunition of various caliber, eight firearm magazines and four large resealable plastic bags containing glassine envelopes – commonly used for the storage and sale of narcotics.
The occupants of the apartment, Duquan Coles, 24, and Shartice Law, 20, were arrested and charged with controlled substance, weapons, ammunition and drug paraphernalia charges, according to a spokeswoman for Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown.
It was unclear if Coles, who lives in the unit that was searched and Law, whose address is 82-03 Beach Channel Drive – another Hammels building.
The search warrant was signed by Queens Criminal Court Judge Stephen Paynter on August 9.

Full TitlePhase II Trial of Carboplatin and Bevacizumab for the Treatment of Recurrent Low-grade and Anaplastic Supratentorial, Infratentorial and Spinal Cord Ependymoma in Adults: A Multi Center Trial
Ependymomas are tumors of the brain or spinal cord. Carboplatin is a drug commonly used to treat several types of cancer. Bevacizumab is a drug that works by inhibiting the growth of the blood vessels that tumors need to grow and spread. In this study, investigators are assessing the safety and effectiveness of combination therapy with carboplatin and bevacizumab in patients with ependymoma of the brain or spinal cord.
Bevacizumab is approved for treating gliomas and other cancers, but its use in combination with carboplatin in patients with ependymoma is considered investigational.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
- Patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of intracranial or spinal ependymoma or anaplastic ependymoma that has continued to grow despite at least one regimen of chemotherapy.
- Patients must have recovered from the side effects of prior therapies. At least 4 weeks must have passed since completion of prior chemotherapy or major surgery and 6 weeks since any radiation therapy.
- Patients may have had prior carboplatin but not bevacizumab.
- Patients must be age 18 or older.
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Antonio Omuro at 212-639-7523.

Anyone have a suggestion for an ultralight hard-sided bottle? I put a hole in a platypus during my bike crash, so I want to at least look into hard alternatives that aren't nalgene bottles.
And, sorry, don't hate me, but I'm not reusing anything like a gatorade bottle. Those plastics break down over time.Nov 22, 2013 at 9:31 pm #2047347

The Nalgene white HDPE bottles are a couple ounces lighter than the transparent ones and no BPA.
Are you concerned with physical or chemical breakdown? My first thought was the drinking water that comes in a PETE bottle that will fit the cages on your bike.

Re: "And, sorry, don't hate me, but I'm not reusing anything like a gatorade bottle. Those plastics break down over time."
Hate to tell ya, but Nalgene bottles also break down over time. Several have left me in a pickle with only one bottle when my other cracked open. So I carry a foldup softy as backup. In some places, like Colorado's Cochetopa, it's only safe to carry a good supply of water.
Mueller makes a nice liter bottle that is half way between soft and hard. The brand found in Walmart, Mainstays, also makes a 26 oz hard bottle that comes with different shading, and has grips molded into the side. The cap sticks a little, though.
I still like the Planters peanut bottles the best. They come in both 26 and 32 oz, and have convex sides for easier holding. And they are the lightest I've seen. Not for those allergic to nuts, however.
The reason for the slightly soft-sided bottles like the Mueller and the Nalgene soft-sided version of its hard sided liter bottle, is not just that they are an oz or so liter than the hardsided versions; but also, because they can be squeezed to use to backflush a Sawyer mini. If not for that, I would use the Planter's, because although I cannot eat nuts for other reasons, there is no allergic reaction and the Planter's are the lightest and easy to grasp.
All the above mentioned are widemouths.

>"soda and Gatorade bottles break down over time when exposed to UV"
Paint them. White paint for the summer, black paint if you ride in the winter. Any opaque latex paint, like house paint, will block 99+% of the UV.
Doesn't solve the phobia about plastics being all un-natural and landfill-filling, and marine-life-choking. So unlike shipping bauxite ore around the globe to electro-win the alumina to aluminum in 970C molten cryolite.
I looked at the link for Sigg aluminum bottles. Wow, $22 to $29! Here's an aluminum bottle that is even lighter, wider-mouth, available at your local supermarket, Walmart or convenience store and at least $20 cheaper:
I score them from the recycling center and have used them in SUL cook sets.
If they seem a little TOO light, and you bring duct tape, leuko tape, etc with you; let the tape live on the outside of the bottle – it will stiffen it a little.Nov 23, 2013 at 8:07 pm #2047552
Dale WambaughBPL Member
@dwambaughLocale: Pacific Northwest
Sigg bottles have a coating inside, so you still have some plastic/chemicals in the system. The newer khaki color coating is BPA free.
My favorite bike bottle is the CamelBak 22oz Performance bottle. Why? Because it has a straw, so you don't need to tip it when drinking and obscuring your view. I use one in the car for the same reason.
The spout doesn't swing on this model; the top twists if you want to seal it, which isn't needed in a bike cage.
The plastic is polypropylene based.

Kind of a funny thread. Some good info but not exactly what I'm looking for.
The regular bike bottles are ok, I guess, but I'm looking for a hard bottle for backpacking that is "ultralight." I cycle alot, but these are more for backpacking.
That means no frills like a straw (the best cap would be similar to a Platy, just a simple narrow-neck screw-on) and the body should be firm, but not overbuilt and heavy like a Nalgene. Something that can survive being dropped a bunch where a Platy might get a tear.
I'd be surprised if it doesn't exist.
Some of the suggestions in here seem about as close as offering a Kelty when someone asks for an UL pack. It's a good pack, but not what I'm looking for (my fault- should have been more specific).
As for durability, nothing lasts forever, but the hard bottles I spent $10 on last years and a plastic bottle from the supermarket lasts days to weeks. The plastic also leaches faster in a cheap bottle, which is unhealthy.
So… if anyone knows of a simple, minimalist, lightweight hard-sided bottle that'd be awesome! If it doesn't exist, oh well..Nov 24, 2013 at 3:55 pm #2047704

The Fiji water bottles are high grade PET with no BPA. Their square shape adds rigidity to the bottle. The large ones, 1.5 liter 55gr, can add some rigidity to your pack as well. I usually get a new one every summer, usually because i forgot the old one somewhere. They come prefilled and you don't have to wash them out or anything.
They have a pretty pink flower on the front with palm trees on a blue background showing from the back.. I like to swirl the water and pretend like I'm on an island.Nov 24, 2013 at 4:01 pm #2047708

"From what I find, soda and Gatorade bottles break down over time when exposed to UV, like in a bike bottle holder."
Yeah, but they are so cheap (or free if you are in to dumpster diving at sports parks, schools, etc, that you can replace so frequently that it is not an issue.Nov 24, 2013 at 4:01 pm #2047709
I disagree. I look at it the same way I look at counting ounces in backpacking.
If I cut the handle off my toothbrush, I'm not really doing anything. 500 baby steps, however, have a big impact.
I try and eat organic food, I avoid living in areas with smog, I know where my water comes from, and I avoid plastic bottles. I choose products without chemicals when I buy toothpaste and deoderant.
I'm not a blind hippie. GMO's have no confirmed cases of anyone getting sick, so I could care less if the DNA of my tomatoes were messed with. But chemicals, I can avoid.
So I try to, if I can.Nov 24, 2013 at 4:31 pm #2047717

Your criteria for a "hard sided" bottle is stringent, the only reason I'm posting a link to a possible solution is so this thread can come to some resolution.
A 24oz cycling bottle works great on the bike and in the pack for backpacking trips. I've been interchanging the same bottles on the bike, for trail running and racing, and backpacking trips for the last 6 years or so without a single one failing. How are you going through bottles every few weeks? Whatever incremental savings or gains you think you'll get in your quest for an alternative solution aren't worth it IMO.
Good luck.Nov 24, 2013 at 7:22 pm #2047762
Alright, don't get grouchy, Eugene.
I said I went through cheap bottles (like Smartwater bottles) every few weeks. Dents turn into creases, creases turn into holes. A cycling bottle lasts much longer, but it's heavy enough to be a Nalgene as far as capacity to weight goes.
I could just use a generic cycling bottle and waste a few ounces and satisfy your need for silence… or I could come to the ultralight backpacking forums looking for an ultralight solution.
You're not obliged to comment and just because you can't see the use in a hard-sided bottle doesn't invalidate my question. If you don't have anything to offer, simply ignore the thread. There's a lot more off-topic stuff floating around, so I have little sympathy that a thread specific to ultralight gear isn't coming to a resolution as quickly as you want it to.
This thread is useful. People who do ultra-running use hard bottles on the shoulder straps of their packs. Knowing one great ultralight solution is a nice way to shave ounces. I assumed someone happened upon an UL solution, and a few people have some great info so far.
That being said, neither of your suggestions appear even remotely ultralight, and appear to have more features than a cycling bottle. I think you just googled the word "bottle" to try and remind me that I should stop asking questions you don't like.
Fiji looks good, I will likely opt for testing those out.Nov 24, 2013 at 7:33 pm #2047766

Sounds like you are looking for "hard-sided" due to puncture resistance in future bike crashes? If so, why not just change the placement so your water isn't ejected or abraded.
If a lightweight stiff bottle (that hasn't been mentioned) existed I imagine it would be quite popular and would be widely used.
For the very slight weight penalty the purist/podium bottles are bombproof.Nov 24, 2013 at 7:44 pm #2047768
Alright, I don't want to go on trial for asking for a bottle. This is a little ridiculous.
NO, I'm not looking for a bottle for bicycle crashes.
I mentioned seeing a Platypus break as an example of a potential risk in arid environments that could be avoided with a hard-sided bottle. After popping a platy, I decided I wanted to look into how much of a weight penalty a hard-sided bottle is. I know that basic cycling bottles exist, but they have a cap the size of a Nalgene bottle and a shape designed for bottle cages that uses more plastic than a regular cylinder or rectangle. In short, they're NOT minimalist.
The Fiji bottle is a good example of a volume-maximizing shape with a minimalist cap. The Fiji is what I am looking for, assuming it is a bit more durable than a Poland Spring or Smartwater bottle over a few weeks.
Maybe you don't care about a few extra ounces. Fine! Have at it! Use a cycling bottle! If you don't have a suggestion, simply resist the urge to post telling me you don't think it's a valid question!
Also, someone posting one correct answer doesn't mean the thread is over. It's not a big deal to wait and see if anyone else has an additional suggestion.
BOTTOM LINE: If you don't have a bottle suggestion, you don't need to post.
You guys are acting like ultralight queries are banned here… we've had 4-page discussions on toothbrushes…Nov 24, 2013 at 8:01 pm #2047773

I think the larger issue is that you have mutually exclusive criteria. You want hard sided and non-plastic.. But the suggestions are too heavy. Ok, light and plastic… But the suggestions aren't hard sided. Grr. Hard sided and light, but the suggestions are plastic. Or the top is too big. Or it won't last an infinity number of years. You need to pick which two criteria are most important and accept some penalty in the third. You're young and smart enough to know how google works, which means you're having no better luck in finding a solution to your very stringent criteria. So cut people some slack.
Sounds like you need to gather some smart people and launch a kickstarter campaign for the perfect water container.
I use a sawyer squeeze and accept that the pouches will eventually fail. They're cheap enough to replace as needed and light enough to carry an emergency spare rolled up inside my pack.
Google "law of diminishing returns", "all the things in the world that will kill me", and "how to have reasonable expectations for the world around me".
That last little bit was intentional snark ;)

Montclair Theatre
Holt Boulevard,
6 people favorited this theater
One of three indoor theaters in Montclair. The other two were Montclair Cinema on Monte Vista at Montclair Plaza and Montclair 6 on Central Avenue and San Bernardino Road.
The Montclair Theatre opened by SRO in 1967 as a 1,250 seat single screen theatre. Later taken over by Pacific Theatres, it was converted into a triple screen to the designs of architect Thomas Berkes.

Sterling Recreation Organization (SRO) owned the Montclair Theatre until they sold it to Pacific Theatres in 1984. I worked for SRO nearly 10 years, and was an Assistant Mgr. at the Montclair Theatre, before transferring to other theatres owend by them. The Montclair Theatre originally had one screen and sat approximately 1,250 patrons. It had a "cry room" (a glass enclosed room at the rear of the theatre). The room sat about 12 people so families with infants and young children could watch the movie without disturbing other patrons. In about 1977, it was expanded by adding an additional 650 seat house and a 250 seat house. The name was changed to the Montclair Triplex. This was done in part to compete with the Montclair Cinema, which had two movie screens located at the Montclair Plaza. At the time executives felt the city was saturated with movie screens, and that theatres would not want to compete with each other by showing the same movie, which is now commonplace. A third Multiplex movie theatre opened on San Bernardino Road, and incorporated "lodge seating" for which they charged more money. After Pacific Theatres bought out SRO's theatres in California, they divided the large house, which was one of the last theatre houses in the area capable of seating that many people. Shortly thereafter, the theatre was closed.
I remember running "Rocky Horror" and "The Song Remains The Same." Good Gosh, the six-track was awesome! Everytime I had projected a midnight show here, I would go home and eat a cherry pie. Umm, wonder why?
Does the theatre still stand?
Meredith you most mean 4-track for "The Song Remains the Same".
LA Times ads in 1969 list the Montclair at 4377 Holt Boulevard. Whatever was at that address has now been razed, according to the map view.
According to IMDB.com,THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME was presented in 35mm 4-track stereo(magnetic prints) and Dolby Stereo(optical prints). Never in 70mm or with 6-track stereo.
Worked at SRO on Holt in the 80s.. fun times…
I worked at this theater while I was in high school as did my brother and sister (my brother is dmann7757 above). I had just turned 15 when I was hired and could only work on staurdays and sundays until I turned 16. I worked as an usher, ticket taker, snack bar and sometimes even in the box office…I remember "tammi" listed above as a fellow montclair high student as well as being one of our box office girls. After I started working there it seemed as though many of my friends were hired as well, Tarik, Rod, Russ, Frank, we had some great times. I also did the "movie swap" on Thursday nights before the Friday primers, this included changing the letters on the marquee that was out over the sidewalk on Holt Blvd. The front marquee with show times, change out the now showing and coming attractions posters in the front and in the lobby, The box office girl would change out the movies and times on the window dosplays and the manager would record the answering machine message. To those that I worked with Mark, Bart, Big Jim, Mike, Phil, Dennis, Tarik, Rod, Russ, Karen, Kim, Julie, Wendy, Dee, Debbie and any that I have not listed…we had some fun, didn't we?

Steamboat Springs Bringing their Afro-Caribbean, barnyard funk, Euforquestra will be in Steamboat Springs on Saturday with a newly infused energy.
Past Event
Euforquestra, funk/groove
- Saturday, July 19, 2014, 10 p.m.
- Schmiggity's , 821 Lincoln Ave., Steamboat Springs
- Not available / $8 - $10
Pronounced yoo-FOHR-keh-struh — think euphoria plus orchestra — the group credits their roots to the artsy college town of Iowa City, Iowa. Recently, the group spent time touring in support of their newest album, "Fire." A long time coming, this album was released five years after the band's last studio album, "Soup."
Throughout the years, the group has made a permanent home in Fort Collins, but gives credit to Iowa City for their musical upbringing.
On Thursday, frontman of the group and guitarist, Mike Tallman spoke about the group's upcoming show and summer tour with Explore Steamboat.
Explore Steamboat: If you could collaborate with any band or musician who would it be and why?
Mike Tallman: Oh, that's a tough one. I suppose it would depend on what kind of collaboration it was, but generally speaking, I would have to pick one of my heroes like Stevie Wonder. His voice, his keyboard playing and his songwriting are all so incredible. He's truly a living legend.
ES: How often do you guys get to play here and when was the last time?
MT: We've played Steamboat a bunch of times over the years at all the different venues in town. Last time we were in town was January 2014.
ES: What are some of your and the other bandmates favorite things to do when visiting Steamboat?
MT: We love coming to Steamboat. We don't always have a lot of time to enjoy the town as much as we would like, but when we have time, we like to go see Strawberry Hot Springs. Or even just a walk down by the river is nice. We almost always get breakfast at the Creekside Cafe if we have time, so if you want to find us the morning after a show, that's the best place to look!
ES: How many shows are planned for your summer tour?
MT: Oh, I don't even know ... lots. June, July and August are really busy for us. We're playing all around Colorado but also have festivals and club dates around the country. We'll slow down a little bit in the fall because I'm getting married in early October. Then we'll do something for Halloween.
ES: You guys have played all over. What kind of venues do you prefer to play at and why?
MT: Every venue has it's own little charm. Since we are a fairly large group, we like to play places that have good size stages and plenty of room for people to dance. But it can also be fun to pack in to a tiny little club where the audience is right in your face. The last couple times we were in Steamboat, we played the Sweetwater Grill, the place was packed and it seemed like there was so much energy that the room might explode at any moment.
ES: Coming from Iowa City and then moving to Colorado, do you think the sound of Euforquestra reflects one city or the other?
MT: We've always had an eclectic sound. We used to have to seek out a lot of new music when we lived in Iowa City, and I think we did a pretty good job at it. Once we moved to Colorado, we were exposed to a ton more music just by being part of the scene. I don't think our sound necessarily reflects one place over the other, but it encompasses a lot of sounds from here, there and a lot of places where we've never even been.
ES: How do you think the music scenes differ?
MT: Iowa City was a much smaller scene, but it's an incredibly hip town that supports the arts. We couldn't have asked for a better place to get our start. Moving to Colorado has been great for us, but we wouldn't have come this far if we hadn't had the "musical upbringing" that we received in Iowa City.
ES: What have the previous shows been like when Euforquestra is in Steamboat? What can we expect for this weekend's show?
MT: Steamboat is one of our favorite ski towns. It's really great because there are more people around in the summer than in some of the other ski towns. We usually have really good crowds, even in the summer months. We are excited to be back and can't wait to play Schmiggity's for the first time.
ES: At Camp Euforia (the group's homegrown festival held near Iowa City) you guys do a lot of improv and collaboration with other musicians. Are you able to do that because you guys are a really close-knit group or is it something else?
MT: We love to collaborate with other artists. It's fun to improvise and create something special on the fly. We are lucky to have a lot of friends around us that are amazing musicians. Last weekend at Camp Euforia, we got rained out on the main stage, so we moved in to the smaller indoor stage and had a jam session with us, The Motet and Juno What?!. It ended up being one of the coolest things that has ever happened at our festival. We also had Keller Williams sit in with us last weekend, which was a blast.
ES: Can we expect a show like that here in Steamboat?
MT: We always have elements of improvisation in our shows. Collaborations with other artists are always dependent on who's present at the time. If we have musical friends around, we always like to try and collaborate if we can.
ES: Do you think the new album, "Fire," introduces a new direction for the band?
MT: "Fire" introduces some new elements, but it's rooted in what we've always done. It still has elements of reggae and afrobeat, but there's much more emphasis on funk. It wasn't a totally conscious decision, but the batch of songs that we ended up choosing for the record just all kind of worked that way. We are really happy with the results.
ES: Who are some of your favorite composers, musicians or bands from the past and present?
MT: This could be a long list. I'll try to abbreviate it. As a guitarist, I love a lot of great jazz players, old and new, like Wes Montgomery, Grant Green and John Scofield. Some bands that I'm currently listening to a lot would be Herbie Hancock's Headhunters, Lettuce, The New Mastersounds, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, The Poets of Rhythm and many, many more.
ES: What are you looking forward to most for the show this weekend?
MT: I'm excited just to be in Steamboat for a night. It's one of my favorite places in Colorado. I'm also really excited to play at Schmiggity's. I'm glad there's another great venue in town. Can't wait to be back!

Thursday Night Football Fantasy Outlook:
Week 4 Thursday Night Game: 49ers at Rams
The 49ers have gone from Super Bowl contenders to multiple personality sufferers in the span of two weeks. Who are they? What are they? Can they turn this offensive and defensive funk around, starting tonight at St. Louis? Or are the 49ers truly on the slide, and we're just seeing it now?
The Rams are improved over last season, albeit slightly so far. The pass game is hot, the run game is cold and injured. The defense is capable but not sterling. St. Louis usually gives the Niners fits, and I don't expect anything different tonight…probably in the 23-20 area.
Niners Offense Vs. Rams Defense:
Do not play Colin Kapernick until he redeems himself. Three TDs, four picks, eight sacks. Speaking of freefalls, RB Frank Gore is averaging 3.5 ypc and one TD through three games. WR Anquan Boldin is averaging 94 ypg receiving and might be the only guy worth a start tonight on the 49ers offense. Vernon Davis sat out last week and is a game-time decision tonight. Employ caution.
The Rams (#16 R; #23 P; #26 overall) will be keying on read-option renegade Kapernick. If they successfully keep him in control, someone other than Boldin will have to rise for the Niners to win on the road. Nobody you'd start, though…J
Rams Offense vs. Niners Defense:
Sam Bradford has proven to be a quality fantasy starter to date, ranking 8th among starters with 6 TDs and just 2 interceptions. He led the Rams to a tie and a win over the 49ers last season, with two TDs and no picks. He's a likely 1-2 TD guy tonight.
RB Daryl Richardson had one carry in Week 3, then re-injured his foot. That makes Isaiah Pead a start if you've got nothing else at RB. WR Chris Givens has been invisible so far; I'm banking on him getting a score tonight. TE Jared Cook is a must-start. Rookie WR Tavon Austin leads the team in targets and should be a play as well unless you're stud-ridden at that position.
Defensively for San Francisco (#29 R; #8 P; #12 overall), LB Patrick Willis is a game-time decision. I wouldn't be surprised if he sits this one out, and without their heart and soul, the 49ers D is going to suffer at some point.
Special Teams:
Expect great things from Rams K Greg Zuerlein. Expect a 50-plus FG. Expect above average performance from SF K Phil Dawson also, as the 49ers may struggle to get points in sixes, and settle for threes.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs' GM says Patrick Corbin is the staff's ace
Patrick Corbin has certainly pitched like the ace of the Arizona Diamondbacks over the season's first two months. In fact, he's been arguably the best and most consistent starting pitcher in the majors.
D-backs general manager Kevin Towers told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Wednesday that Corbin has unequivocally earned the title of staff ace with his impressive performance in 2013.
"I'd have to say that's Patrick Corbin, the way he's thrown the ball," Towers said. "He's probably one of the premier pitchers, not just in the National League, but in baseball right now. I think every start we've won and that's kind of the sign of a true ace."
The 23-year-old left-hander boasts a 7-0 record with a sterling 1.44 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. His ERA ranks second in MLB behind Los Angeles Dodgers hurler Clayton Kershaw (1.35). He's also thrown six-plus innings, giving up two runs or less, in nine straight starts.
Corbin has also gone toe-to-toe with some of the league's top aces, and has often gotten the better of the duels.
"He's beaten Kershaw," Towers stated. "He's beaten some of the aces with other clubs and he's holding his velocity and is just one of those guys when every fifth day when he takes the rubber we feel real good."
The D-backs have found that reliable arm in Corbin this season, and Towers listed numerous reasons why he feels his young left-hander has been able to sustain his success.
"A) He's got youth on his side," Towers explained. "B) Baseball is relatively new to him. He was kind of a basketball player in high school, hasn't thrown a lot of innings. He's got incredible confidence, a good head, believes in his stuff, believes in himself. I think he's at a point now where he feels he belongs."
Corbin has looked every bit the part of an ace after enduring some trying times last season.
In 2012, Corbin went 6-8 with a 4.54 ERA in 22 games. He often showed glimpses of brilliance, but at times struggled with his command. In 107 innings pitched, Corbin walked 25 batters. The D-backs' southpaw also had trouble against left-handed hitters. But this season he's limited lefties to a .106 average, a stark contrast to the .325 average they posted against him a year ago.
While all young pitchers go through growing pains, Towers thinks Corbin has come to understand that he's here to stay.
"A lot of times the rookie players are just in survival mode and trying to be good enough just to stay in the big leagues and I think now he's at a point to where I don't think he has any fear of failure. If anything he maybe has a little fear of success," Towers said.

I am devastated. I am wondering how I can repair damage I believe to be caused by Sclerotherapy. I had nice legs except for a small amount of spider veins seven months ago. I am thin and very active. After injections into reticular thigh veins I have developed bulging varicose veins and severe cellulite where I got the thigh injections. It took years to develop the few spiders and they came on very gradual now my legs are covered and this is just seven months later. Is there any help for this?
How to Repair Bulging Varicose Veins After Sclerotherapy?
Doctor Answers 6
Larger Veins after Sclerotherapy
It is possible that you had an abnormal reaction to the sclerotherapy or that there was underlying venous insufficiency in your leg that was not diagnosed prior to you undergoing your treatments. I would recommend that you see a Vein Specialist (vascular surgeon) to get a venous reflux ultrasound of the leg to identify any underlying venous disorder. Depending on the results of this study, you could be offered some other treatment options including possible use of laser or radiofrequency energy to treat the larger vein problem or even phlebectomy. If is was a complication from the sclerotherapy (neovascularization or an aggressive type of matting), I would avoid any further sclerotherapy.
Web reference: http://www.AustinVaricoseVein.com
Cellulite after Sclerotherapy ? No way - Buffalo Niagara, NY
A literature search on PubMed (on January 22, 2015), which is a database of 23 MILLION scientific publications, shows '0 results' when a search was made for 'sclerotherapy and cellulite'.
It is a pure and unfortunate coincidence that you have developed cellulite in areas where you have had sclerotherapy.
More importantly, you should seek a certified vein specialist to have your lower extremities checked for venous insufficiency.
Web reference: http://www.VeinsVeinsVeins.com
Need venous evaluation.
Think of your veins like a tree with both a trunk and branches. The branches are the spider and reticular veins and the trunk is the saphenous vein which runs from the ankle to the groin. This "trunk" has microscopic valves, and if these leak(reflux), then these need to be treated first. If the branches are first treated then the problem still exists in the trunk which continues to feed the branches and can cause further vein formation. I would not expect cellulite to be a result of sclerotherapy. You should have a full venous evaluation with a venous reflux sonogram and you should be evaluated by a vascular surgeon or vein specialist.

Choosing between varicose vein and spider vein treatments
I would begin treatment of bulging varicose veins before treatment of smaller spider veins. The choice of treatment depends on your condition and the presence of underlying venous reflux.
Web reference: http://www.surgery90210.com/cosmetic-dermatology/21/spider-veins.aspx
Repairing bulging varicose veins requires finding the root cause
Bulging varicose veins are on the skin surface, but the deeper vein feeding the varicosities is usually much deeper and cannot be seen with the naked eye. A duplex ultrasound will identify the deeper branch, typically the greater or lesser saphenous vein, and show "reflux"-- where the veins allow blood to flow backwards instead of forward, causing blood to flow down into the legs, causing swelling, aching, and more varicose and spider veins.
If you had sclerotherapy for reticular veins, it is quite possible that you have venous reflux which should be diagnosed appropriately, and hopefully the root cause treated with endovenous ablation (EVLT) of your saphenous veins and phlebectomies--the actually removal of the varicose veins. This will lead to long term treatment and much improved symptoms and appearance to your legs!
There is help for your vein problem
In order to correct the problem with your vein the problem must first be diagnosed. I would seek the care of a vein specialist. Phlebology (the diagnosis and treatment of veins) is one of the most rapidly growing areas of medicine and is comprised of physicians in many different specialties. I would see someone who has a duplex ultrasound to exam your leg and the veins visable as well as those deeper under the skin.
Sclerotherapy of superficial spider veins should not cause varicose veins so it might be a coincidence that the varicose vein came after your treatment. Your varicose vein may be amenable to treatment with Foam Sclerotherapy or a procedure known as ambulatory phlebectomy (AP). AP is a procedure performed in the office with local anesthesia. A tiny incision is made in the skin and a small hook is used to grab the vein. The vein is then removed through the small incision.
Good luck and there is definitely hope to get you the legs you want.

text: RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Virginia Power today asked its Virginia regulator to approve construction of a 1,358-megawatt combined cycle, natural gas-fired power station that would serve growing customer demand and replace electricity from aging coal-fired power stations that are being retired for economic and environmental reasons. If approved by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC), the $1.3 billion power station would be built in Brunswick County on a 214-acre site on U.S. Route 58 east of Lawrenceville, Va., and begin providing enough electricity for 340,000 homes by the spring of 2016. The initial increase in the monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity would be 83 cents, effective Sept. 1, 2013. "The Brunswick County Power Station is the clear economic and operational choice to meet our customers' growing energy needs," said Thomas F. Farrell II, Dominion's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "The station is a part of our strategy to meet an anticipated demand from our customers for 5,300 megawatts of new generation over the next 15 years." PJM Interconnection, the 13-state regional transmission organization, projects that Dominion's service area will be one of its fastest growing regions. To meet the projected growth, Dominion's strategy calls for a cost-effective and low-risk approach that emphasizes a balanced and diverse fuel mix of nuclear, natural gas, coal, hydro and renewable energy sources, and conservation options. Also, Brunswick County Power Station is needed to replace more than 900 megawatts of coal-fired generation from the Chesapeake Energy Center and Yorktown Power Station, which will be retired by 2015 because new federal environmental regulations make them uneconomic to continue to operate. Likewise, more than 19,000 megawatts of coal-fired generation will be retired from 2011 through 2019 in PJM, with most retiring by the end of 2015.
