Most people who mod may get away with it, but it is still strictly speaking a bannable offence, so people should be aware of that risk, rather then fool themselves into believing that they *can't* be banned for it.

Moral of the story. Don't touch cus they are bad.
After carefully reading all the comments on this post I was quite baffled at the amount of people against "game modification" or in plain terms "violating Xbox terms and conduct. I am quite skeptical all the players on here are 100% play by the rules kinda people. whether it be conducting yourself in a friendly manner towards others in competitive games(HALO,Black ops 2,ETC) im more than sure with my experiences playing games alot of players if not most players actually break the microsoft terms and agreement or code of conduct. for example swearing,trash talk messages, disruptive music playing in the background while your mic is on, and a number of other violations that numerous people can report you for. anyone can just even report someone just because they don't like them. but everyone is allowed there own opinion i guess. but I think everyone should be allowed to play the game the way they decide to and not be intimidated to not do so be cause others say it's wrong. like inthe real world your either with the crowd or your against it. you don't play by everyone elses rules or style of play they will turn you in. im a christian but I am not prejudice against other religions. I understands thats what they believe in and don't bother with that. so my message to cyberius is "Dude, do what you wanna do, not what others tell you to do. or else why buy/play a game when other people are gonna tell you how to play it"

The thing about modding is that it can negatively impact someone else's game. whether intentional or not. If you're doing it offline that's fine, but modifying a game and taking said modifications into a MP environment is really risky. (Badass Mode)
The difference between consoles & PC is that if someone mods and ruins your game you can correct it with little bit of reading. If someone ruins your console game you have to get extra items if you don't already have them. Add a bunch of weird programs to your computer. Learn a bunch of things you probably never would have got into. And once you do all that you may still not be able to repair what was affected.

These are weapons to avoid. Although I'm for you playing your way, modding is not the way to go on a console. You put yourself at risk of being banned, and are guarenteed to have a ruined game with them. Just pass on the black rarities and use legit.

It may not be a big risk, but it's still a risk.
That is exactly what I am saying and what some people did not read or comprehend.
I stated a "Risk" of being banned in my OP, not you "will" be banned.

David Eckstein: Great leadoff hitter who handles the bat well. He sets the tone for the offense. Battles at the plate with a "work-the-count" approach.
Better fastball hitter out over the plate. Doesn't strike out much. Good hit-and-run guy.
One of the best bunters in the league. Can sacrifice or bunt for a base hit down either line.
Takes fastball early in the game to set up first-pitch fastballs later on. Stays in the middle of the field. Will expand the zone away, chasing sliders down and off the plate with two strikes.
Must keep him off the base to beat the Angels. He will steal even though he isn't a burner. Runs (2nd and 3rd) early in the count.
Sure-handed SS with limited range who makes all the plays. Positions himself well in the field and is fearless around the bag on DPs.
Big heart. Always thinking about sparking the offense with walk, bunt for base hit, squeeze; whatever it takes to win.

The late-season loss of Adam Kennedy and the suspension of Jose Guillen has weakened their team, but I suspect the players will rally behind the manager and overcome both of these situations.
Scioscia and Buddy Black, the pitching coach, are a very effective combination that handles the staff very well. They have worked all season without a left-hander in the 'pen.

A grant of $50,000 in 2011 to support the development and organization of the exhibition Marsden Hartley in Mexico scheduled for 2016, including stipends for Research Assistants, honorarium for contributing scholars and curatorial travel. Sara Ellis-Cardona, a doctoral student at UT Dallas was one of the Research Assistants.
Since December 2011, the project has evolved from a focused investigation and analysis of the twenty mystically-inflected canvases Hartley painted in 1932-33 in Mexico and examine the entire arc of his career. The exhibition's scope has expanded to explore the nexus between his subject matter and stylistic evolution and his persistent interrogation of belief, spirituality, and mysticism. Research assistance from The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) graduate student, Sara Ellis Cardona, has provided insight into Hartley's experiences in Mexico and has helped with the compilation of a comprehensive bibliography of secondary sources.

The incident happened at the Premonition nightclub in Bristol Street in the early hours of Saturday morning.
A 24-year-old man was taken to hospital but died from his injuries. Two others remain in hospital.
A team of police officers and forensic scientists are at the scene of the crime but say investigations are at an early stage.
Turned away
Police have not revealed the identity of the man who died and are appealing for anyone with any information about the incident, which happened about 0340 GMT, to contact Steelhouse Lane police station.
Jeff Wardle, who works at the nearby Radius Bar, said he turned five men away from his pub minutes before the shooting.
He told the BBC: "Five guys turned up and we turned them away because they were wearing tracksuits.
"They said they would go somewhere else and walked towards Premonition and that was when we heard shooting."
He added: "Everywhere you go there is trouble now and it's getting worse. I was threatened two weeks ago because I would not serve someone.
"I do feel scared about what's happening."

Thread: A Real Charmer
April 29th, 2013 01:09 PM #11
Charmin is everywhere.
I'm a huge fan of Shakespeare, although I have far from read all of his works. I haven't come across Charmian before, but my first thoughts were the toilet paper, and that Charmian must be a masculine form of Charmaine or something along those lines. While the -ian ending is used on both genders (Lillian, Vivian, etc. for girls; Julian, Lucian, Sebastian, Aurelian, Valerian, Florian, etc. for boys), it seems much more prevalent on boys. Straight off, it struck me as quite masculine, sorry. But hey, Shakespeare makes almost everything okay. Maybe you could use it as a MN if you find it not-so-usable as a FN?Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

I actually have no idea how to pronounce Charmian. I love the meaning and origin though!
*scrolled and found the pronounciation*
If its pronounced CAR-mee-un, why not spell it so that people can easily pronounce it? Carmian/Charmean? It actually sounds a lot like the name Carmen when you say it out loud. It also looks too similar to Charmaine or Charmin, so it can be both visually and verbally confusing!aurora- autumn- ashwyn- bambi- bernadette- calliope- emmalou- henriette- indigo- ione- january- lark- leela- llewellyn- lydia- marnie- molly- narnia- noelle- oralee- penelope- philomena- rain- raven- roxy- ruby- snow- tessa- thora- waverly- willow- winter- wren- zoe | abel- aesop- angus- banjo- bartholomew- bear- bruce- burkley- darwin- elliot- finn- flynn- foster- henry- indigo - knox - laszlo - lyle - navy - nemo - noah - otis - oakley - rainn - thatcher - thomas - thompson - titus - zen

I love Shakespeare too (although like you, I haven't read nearly all of them) and Antony and Cleopatra is a particular favourite of mine so Charmian is a nice connection, despite her being only a minor character; Cleopatra's maidservant, so basically almost non-existent but still. It's Shakespeare. I do agree that it sounds quite masculine, and so together with the toilet paper fiasco and the potential confusion of Charmaine, I am resigned to it being a middle at most. *sigh* Thank you for commenting!

@liviajoan - I know, the pronunciation is a little befuddling....okay, yes it is very confusing, and I can tell this toilet paper would come back to haunt me...and Charmaine as well. Never mind. It will go on the long list. Thank you!
@uselesskitty - I knew Charmaine would be a problem - in the original post, I actually typed Charmaine instead of Charmian every time (and just did it again, ahh) so it's catching. Thank you for commenting though!

10 Mobile Website Quandaries Solved
GH: Yes, but that is in control of the user. For example, if you visit a site from your iPhone and tap the "plus" button in the lower browser navigation, you'll have the option to "add to home screen," which will put an icon on your screen similar to an app. Here is a good tutorial.
This shows you how to customize your icon so that if others do this, they get the icon you'd like them to receive.
3. How does one go about developing a budget for the mobile site project?
GH: Eighty percent of your marketing budget. Just kidding!
This really depends on what type of business you have. The budgeting process shouldn't change just because it's a mobile site. I'd ask, "How did you budget for your current desktop site? How did you budget for email services or direct mail?"
You have to determine which solution is best for your business or your client's business considering execution, management and price. Some of the DIY template-based solutions are only a couple hundred bucks to get started.
If you need something more than that, you might need to hire someone or an agency to help.
4. How do you recommend testing the effectiveness of offering a responsive site vs. not offering a responsive site? We often need hard numbers to convince clients to invest/change.
GH: Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a concrete answer for this. The best way to know the effectiveness of a responsive site vs. not is building one and going through the process. You need to understand the challenges, time commitment, efficiencies, etc., that result from that experience in order to compare it.
Most clients won't come to you saying, "I want a responsive site." It's your responsibility to recommend the best solution for them for as long-term as possible.

The bill for the Urewera raids and consequent court action has cost the Government millions, making it the most expensive trial in New Zealand history, legal experts say.
Costs will include the police investigation, the Crown's counsel Meredith Connell and legal aid for the defendants as well as keeping them in custody following the initial raids. The case has also been taken through District Court, High Court, Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court - raising the cost of the trial.
New Zealand Law Society president Jonathan Temm estimated the cost would be about $2.5 million.
"It will most certainly be the most expensive trial in our criminal history - certainly."
Mr Temm said the bill was likely to be more expensive than David Bain's retrial in 2009, which cost more than $2 million in legal aid to fund his defence.
Last August, the Weekend Herald revealed the Urewera raids and court appearances of the accused - who numbered 18 at the time before some charges were dropped in September - had cost the Government at least $750,000. Police refused to give a detailed breakdown of costs, but have provided an "aggregate figure" of $500,462. Figures released by the Crown Law Office showed $244,175 had been paid for two counsel to work on the case up until June 24.
The Legal Services Agency refused to disclose its costings while the case was before the courts.
Human rights lawyer Michael Bott, who represented one of the accused, said that since last June the costs would only have increased - probably dramatically - because of the large number of court appearances as well as the trial of the four at the High Court.
The defendants had been in custody for that time, said Mr Bott, adding that the cost of keeping just one person in prison for a year was about $180,000. What needed to be revealed, Mr Bott said, was the cost of the police investigation because it would be disingenuous not to include it in the total figure of the Crown prosecution.
"The defence costs cover the expert witnesses called by the defence, the administration to collate the files and to go visit the scene and so on. But the costs for Meredith Connell to prosecute the case, they've got to accurately reflect the true costs of the prosecution which includes the police investigation that continued right up until the start of the trial."
Mr Bott said the Crown had thrown everything it had at the case to try to ensure a guilty verdict.
"There's so much publicity and interest and controversy around this entire trial, they're [the Crown] not going to want to walk away with anything other 'guilty' and as I've said before, you don't throw a $10,000 saddle on a $100 horse."

Police and fire officials freed a wild turkey that was entangled in a tree along Bay Road in Hamilton on Sunday.
On Sunday June 30, the Hamilton Police and Hamilton animal control officer were dispatched to a Bay Road residence after the homeowner had reported a wild turkey entangled and distressed in a tree.
It was determined that the bird had a piece of wire wrapped around one of its legs and that the wire had become attached to the tree the turkey was perched in rendering the fowl helpless hanging upside down.
With the assistance of the Hamilton Fire Department and the Massachusetts Environmental Police, the bird was netted and cut free from the tree.
Once on the ground, the wire was removed from the bird before it was released back into the wild.

no product has ever cleaned my pores as deeply as this cleanser. It works wonders. I only use it a few times a week (not 2x a day as recommended) and it still does better than any peel or exfoliant or cleanser or mask. I found this product through the website Beauty Sage, where they had a lot of great reviews. Try it!5
I usually have somewhat sensitive skin so the description on the back of the label about "feeling it tingle" made me a little uneasy when this first arrived in my birchbox. But having tried it a few times now I'm a big fan! The extra cleanse it gives my skin at the end of the week makes me feel refreshed and glowing for the next day!4
I have been using this soap on and off since the beginning of July when I first ordered it. I noticed that when I wasn't using it daily my face would become more clogged and I would have more blackheads.
This soap really does unclog your pores. I found it a bit tedious to use at first because you do have to let it sit for 5-10 minutes before you wash it off, but that no longer bothers me at all. I am more than willing to let this sit on my face while I do something else if it means that my skin looks clear!
The scent is definitely not the most pleasant, but I am able to get past it. It does not last on the skin once the product has been washed off.
I highly recommend trying this for problematic, acne skin. In addition to being acne prone, my skin is also very sensitive and sometimes dry. This soap has not irritated my skin at all. I make sure to use a good moisturizer to avoid my skin drying out. I am so, so pleased with this product!

Come on Auckland we can do better than this.
The city was packed on New Year's eve to witness the fireworks display from the top of the Sky Tower, which looked like a giant sparkler and was much as it has been at the beginning of every year for a decade or more.
It was pretty enough in its own way but forgettable and hardly something that could be described as world class.
The point was highlighted again and again over the succeeding 24 hours as one city after another vied to produce the most exciting pyrotechnic effects to ring out the old year and ring in the new: Sydney, Hong Kong, London, Moscow, New York all made their mark on the night sky in style.
They do it partly to entertain their citizens and encourage a sense of optimism, but also to advertise themselves to the world.
No city knows the importance of this more than Sydney, which uses the natural advantages of its great harbour to telling effect.
It knows the world is watching and waiting for it to launch celebrations with the first great fireworks display of every year.
And just to make sure no one forgets, it runs a well-organised media campaign in the last days of the old year to remind the world that Sydney is where it all begins. On Monday night, it served an appetiser just for the children. Even that was more spectacular than Auckland's giant sparkler.
What ought to be obvious to Auckland's civic leaders is that Sydney is stealing our thunder. We are a full two hours ahead of it, and it should be Auckland that is recognised globally as the place where every new year begins.
Sydney gets away with it only because Auckland has effectively conceded the field to the Aussies, which is about as un-New Zealand as it is possible to be.
Of course some might say that such spectacular fireworks displays are really trivial and, when there are so many urgent problems facing us, an unjustifiable waste of money. But Sydney and the other great cities put on a show for a reason, which is not unlike the justification cited in this country for giving tax breaks to movies such as The Hobbit; there is a real benefit in raising global awareness of New Zealand, which, among other things, encourages tourism.
Once a year, Auckland has a unique opportunity to create the same effect with a truly spectacular fireworks display. Our natural and constructed advantages are the equal of Sydney if not better.
We, too, have a great harbour. We, too, have a harbour bridge. And we have many vantage points around the waterfront where hundreds of thousands of people get uninterrupted views.
But the greatest advantage of all is timing and it's something that cannot be taken away. Auckland hits the new year first and so ought to claim its rightful status as the city where the new year begins.
There is no need to be overawed by the fantastic displays of other cities around the world. Auckland has done it before.
Remember the great effort on the night the Rugby World Cup opened in 2011? So come on Auckland, we can do better than this. Let's put ourselves on the map and have some fun doing it.

The Wolverines offense utilized a balanced attack that gained 147 yards rushing and 146 yards passing for 293 yards of total offense. They persisted through 12 penalties (112 yards) and five turnovers (three fumbles, two interceptions) to gain a hard-fought conference victory.
Iowa won the coin toss and deferred choice to the second half. The Wolverines elected to receive the opening kickoff. Michigan started at its 16-yard line after a 15-yard return on the opening kickoff by Anthony Thomas (Winnfield, La.). The offense marched 84 yards down the field and capped the scoring drive with a 14-yard touchdown reception by senior wide receiver Tai Streets (Matteson, Ill.) from Tom Brady (San Mateo, Calif.). The 6:20 drive was balanced with seven rushing and seven passing plays.
Iowa started its first drive of the game on the 20-yard line after kicker Hayden Epstein (Cardiff, Calif.) forced a touchback. The Michigan defense forced Iowa into a punting situation after three offensive plays. The Hawkeyes punted to the Wolverines where sophomore James Whitley (Norfolk, Va.) signaled for a fair catch. He fumbled and Iowa's Doug Miller recovered, giving the Hawkeyes the ball at the Wolverines' 31-yard line.
With the renewed life and good field position, Iowa tried to get onto the board. The Wolverines' defense held and forced a Hawkeyes field goal. Tim Douglas' 52-yard field goal attempt missed short, preserving Michigan's 7-0 lead.
On Michigan's ensuing drive, Brady dropped back to pass and looked for junior wide receiver Marcus Knight (Sylacauga, Ala.). The ball went through Knight's hands and was intercepted by Tarig Holman. The Hawkeyes took over on the Michigan 49-yard line but were unable to move the football and were forced to punt the ball back to the Wolverines.
Michigan started at its own 15-yard line and gained a first down before it gave the ball away for third time in the first quarter. Brady was intercepted by Holman for the second straight Michigan possession, on third-and-11. Iowa took over in Michigan territory at the 50-yard line. The Hawkeyes would get on the board with 12:29 remaining in the first half as Douglas connected on a 49-yard field goal. The scoring drive went 18 yards on six plays and consumed 2:45.
Holding a 7-3 lead, the Wolverines took over at their 11-yard line but could not gain a first down. Senior punter Jason Vinson (Troy, Mich.) was credited with a 20-yard punt after receiving a low snap.
Iowa took over inside Michigan's territory for the fourth consecutive series, this time at the Wolverines' 40-yard line. They used the good field position to its benefit, moving the ball down to the Michigan 12-yard line before the drive stalled. Placekicker Zach Bromert connected on a 29-yard field goal to cut the lead to 7-6. The eight-play scoring drive took 4:06 and covered 28 yards.
The Hawkeyes would take the lead into halftime, 9-7, after placekicker Zach Bromert kicked his second field goal of the first half and the team's third. Bromert notched a 28-yard field goal with 15 seconds remaining in the second quarter. The scoring drive took 47 seconds. Iowa drove 44 yards in four plays with the big play coming on a 25-yard pass from Kyle McCann to Trevor Bollers.
Iowa received the second-half kickoff from Michigan, starting its initial possession at the 27-yard line. The Wolverines' held the Hawkeyes to three plays and forced the punt.
Taking over at its 34-yard line, Michigan moved into Iowa territory but was unable to get within field-goal range after the Hawkeyes Jared DeVries sacked Brady on third down. Vinson came in to kick and pinned Iowa deep at its seven-yard line.
Iowa was called for holding on first down, moving the ball to the three-yard line. The Wolverine defense held on three successive Hawkeye running plays and forced a punt by Jason Baker. Iowa punted to Whitley, who returned it 15 yards prior to a fumble that was recovered by D.J. Johnson. Iowa gained the ball at its own 33-yard line but again moved backward due to a penalty. Michigan forced a punt that was downed at the 38-yard line.
Both teams were unable to sustain drives for the remainder of the third quarter and fumbled to the other on successive plays during the period.
The Wolverines would gain the lead, 10-9, with 8:19 remaining in the fourth quarter as placekicker Jay Feely (Odessa, Fla.) notched a 22-yard field goal. Michigan started at its own 41-yard line and moved the ball 54 yards in 10 plays. The scoring drive elapsed 3:31 with Brady connecting on all three passes (23 yards) and the running game picking up 30 yards.
Iowa took possession at the 20-yard line after Epstein booted his second kickoff of the game into the end zone for a touchback. The Hawkeyes gained one first down but the Wolverine defense stopped the drive and forced yet another punt.
Michigan took over on its own 12-yard line and proceeded to gain two first downs and iced all but the final 51 seconds. The big play in the series was a clutch 17-yard reception by Streets on third down. Forced to punt with 51 seconds left, Vinson punted inside the five-yard line where Iowa's Kahlil Hill caught the kick near the sideline. Hill ran across the field and was chased into the end zone, where he was tackled for a safety by redshirt freshman Anthony Jordan (Jersey City, N.J.).
After Iowa's attempted onside kick was recovered by tight end Jerame Tuman (Liberal, Kan.), Michgan sealed the 12-9 victory by kneeling once.
The Wolverines will have their first bye week in two years next Saturday (Oct. 10). Michigan will return to the field on Oct. 17 when the Wolverines travel to Ryan Field in Evanston, Ill., to face Northwestern in a game that can be seen on ESPN beginning at 7 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. CDT.

|10 Things I Heard About Celtics IV
|08.30.11 at 12:26 pm ET
On another slow Celtics news day, there's still plenty to learn about Boston's green men. Here are 10 more C's links of interest we discovered over the past few days ('10 Things I Heard About Celtics' I, II and III) '¦
10. The success of the 1985-86 Celtics (67-15; 40-1 home; 15-3 playoffs) stemmed from not only talent but intellectualism, according to this recent NBA.com puff piece. The team featured six future NBA head coaches: Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge, Rick Carlisle and Sam Vincent. Not to mention quote machine Bill Walton. Here's what McHale and Walton had to say on the subject …
- Kevin McHale: "We had a lot of guys on that team who really knew the game and understood what it took and what it meant to play it the right way. I kinda took it for granted, thinking that was the way everybody played, because I had been around guys with the Celtics where everyone understood that. I probably realized for the first time that it wasn't that way everywhere when Danny Ainge told me that other people couldn't totally change their game plans during a timeout and then go right out onto the floor and execute it. It was after Danny got traded to Sacramento and he said that if that team didn't work on something in practice for three days, there was no way they could do it in a game. We could devise a whole new scheme in a timeout and then just go do it. I guess everybody on that Celtics team just had a good basketball mind."
- Bill Walton: "Everyone constantly thought basketball. Everyone always played a mental game. Even though we were a team that physically had the tools necessary to be at highest level of the game, it was the mental edge that allowed that team to be so special."
9. Reason No. 893 Celtics guard Ray Allen is cool: While every other NBA player is seemingly shopping himself overseas or making headlines in exhibition games against questionable competition, the 3-point king works on his golf game as if it were just another off-season.
Last month, Allen played in Lake Tahoe. Two weeks ago, in Connecticut. Next week, in New Jersey at the Liberty Cup Charity Golf Tournament with golfer Natalie Gulbis and "Desperate Housewives" star Kyle MacLachlan. All for charity.
I guess that's why Allen was cast as Jesus Shuttlesworth in "He Got Game" and not someone like Kobe Bryant (interesting tidbit: Kevin Garnett and Stephon Marbury were reportedly approached for that role, but their agent wanted a guarantee that one of them would get the part).
8. As we've discussed previously, Austin Rivers and his Duke basketball teammates are traveling China and the United Arab Emirates, crushing every team in their path. Celtics head coach Doc Rivers is also with the team to watch his son make fools out of people internationally. Dubai newspaper Gulf News caught up with the pair that hopes to soon become the third father-son NBA duo in history (Jan Van Breda Kolff and Butch Van Breda Kolff; Mike Dunleavy Sr. and Mike Dunleavy Jr.).

|Celtics on eBay: Tommy Heinsohn's Hall of Fame thoughts
|08.26.11 at 3:21 pm ET
Yup, it's time to take you into the weekend with the fifth edition of Celtics on eBay. Basically we ask, "Would you pay [a pretty penny] for [current or former member of the Celtics]' [eBay item]?" Confusing enough? Good. Let's get started.
Last week was the first item I even would have considered buying, but this week is the first item I've actually bid on. For real. I just bid 20 bucks for Tommy Heinsohn's handwritten thoughts on his enshrinement day in 1986 at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Now, I know what you're thinking. Twenty dollars is a lot of money. Where does a WEEI.com blogger get that kind of coin? Well, I had to save up months for it, Ok. Go ahead and try to out-bid me.
If you can't read what Heinsohn wrote, believe it or not he actually doesn't mention a single referee's missed call:
"My career in basketball taught me one thing. Glory is not what it's all about, but rather the mastering of one's self in all ways to meet a challenge. The only recognition needed is by one's own understanding of what they're doing or what they would do better.
"Yes it was nice to be selected as a Hall of Famer but it was not the cap off of a career that justified my efforts. That was achieved years before when I learned how to focus who I am on what I worked at and liked."
Signed: "Tom Heinsohn"
That deserves like a thousand Tommy Points, right? Oh, yeah, and it's his 77th birthday. You've got to be kidding me!!!

|Celtics' free agent options at backup power forward
|08.25.11 at 3:06 pm ET
We're almost two months into the NBA lockout, and more progress has been made on the crippled U.S. economy than the collective bargaining agreement negotiations, but that doesn't mean we can't still examine the likely free agents available to the Celtics for the (fingers crossed) 2011-12 season once commissioner David Stern and players association executive director Billy Hunter kiss and make up.
We've profiled the C's biggest needs — at center and shooting guard — as well as two other critical positions (backup point guards and small forwards), so we move to the final piece of Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge's puzzle: Backup Power Forwards.
The Celtics started this past season with a surefire Hall of Fame four in Kevin Garnett, and backed him up with a Sixth Man of the Year candidate in Glen Davis. The C's version of assistant to the assistant regional manager rotated from Luke Harangody to 'We Hardly Knew Ye' Chris Johnson to Troy Murphy, with a dabble of Jeff Green, who played the four for the Thunder but is more suited to the three on the Celtics. Got all that? Good.
As we've noted before, the Celtics have six players under contract in 2011-12 for a combined $64.3 million (Garnett, $21.2 million; Paul Pierce, $15.33 million; Ray Allen, $10 million; Rajon Rondo, $10 million; Jermaine O'Neal, $6.23 million; Avery Bradley, $1.53 million), and should match any offer Green receives — unless another team far exceeds his qualifying offer of $5.9 million.
Davis and Murphy are free agents, and while they might sound like a buddy cop duo from Dublin, they're actually both pretty darn good for second and third options at the four. The addition of first-round pick JaJuan Johnson — a 6-foot-10 senior power forward out of Purdue — likely makes a Murphy-type expendable. But even with Garnett, Green and Johnson expected to be on the 2011-12 roster, the Celtics should seek one more power forward option, in case Johnson isn't ready and to leave Green on the wing.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the options that should be available to the Celtics at backup power forward (barring overseas exports), separating the current free agent players into four categories and forgetting about David West, because that ain't happening '¦ Read the rest of this entry »
|Delonte West releases latest track: 'MJ Shwagg'
|at 12:17 pm ET
When Delonte West isn't applying to Home Depot, Sam's Club or BJ's, the free agent Celtics guard/rap star is promoting his "Lockout" mixtape by releasing tracks sporadically. First, we got 'It's Bout 2 Go Down' and 'Mr. Magnificent.' Then "Livin' Life Fast." And now "MJ Shwagg" (h/t @Jose3030), complete with a Ray Allen reference. Enjoy, as long as you don't mind the harsh language.
Oh, and if you like that, you'll definitely enjoy Delonte's recent Twitter rant about growing up in Virginia. I mean, what other athlete can you get gems like this from: "mike jordan didnt teach me to post up….an old drunk …did …wit a cigerett in his mouth…after he told pretty tonny to hold his beer"
|Your daily Rajon Rondo update: Summer highlights
|at 11:28 am ET
I know you miss Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, but consider this highlight video from the Nation of Blue Kentucky basketball blog like Skyping during a long-distance relationship …
- You: "So, what you been up to?"
- Rondo: "Oh, just playing the Dominican national team with a bunch of former Wildcats."
- You: "Sounds fun. How's your elbow feeling?"
- Rondo: "Pretty good. I can dribble with my left hand and everything."
- You: "You know, you really should work on that jump shot of yours."
- Rondo: "Get off my back. I have been working on it, Ok. I made four of them."
- You: "Four? Really? You're kidding, right?"
- Rondo: "Very funny."
- You: "Anything else going on?"
- Rondo: "Oh, just working on a sweet Euro step. No big deal."
- You: "So, tell me, when's this NBA lockout gonna be over, so you can start working again."
- Rondo: "I've told you a million times: I have no idea. I gotta go."
|Jeff Green: Joining Celtics was a tough situation
|08.23.11 at 5:11 pm ET
Once again, unrestricted free agent Jeff Green explained the difficulty he experienced trying to integrate himself into the Celtics' offensive and defensive schemes after the Kendrick Perkins trade. NBA.com's David Aldridge discussed the issue with him earlier this month, and Yahoo! Sports reporter Marc J. Spears also pressed Green on his statistical drop-off after leaving the Thunder. Here's what Green told Spears:
- On joining the Celtics: "They've been together for a number of years. They've already won a championship, they already have a system, they already have their chemistry and that bond on that team. It was tough to go into that situation."
- On replacing Kendrick Perkins: "The one thing about me is that I'm not trying to fill anybody's shoes. Kendrick is a totally different player than myself. People looked at me being the type of player I am and with the name I have going into this situation, they expected me to fill his shoes."
- On adjusting to the Celtics: "It was tough to gather all that information so fast and try to gather the concepts of what they are trying to do."
- On remaining with the Celtics: "I've been in the gym working, but things have been hairy. You never know what's going to happen. I'm always going to be prepared. I'm just taking it day by day. There is nothing much I can do right now. When things get done, they get done."
Green doesn't ever really say anything about remaining with the Celtics (although he admits his stint with Boston's Big Three was "amazing"). The C's have already extended a $5.9 million qualifying offer to Green. Another team would have to offer Green more, and even then the C's could still match any such offer.
As I've noted before, the Celtics would be crazy to let Green go elsewhere, considering his future on the team is the only possible way the team can save face from the Perkins deal — especially since center Nenad Krstic has already signed a two-year deal in Russia.
|DeMar DeRozan: 'Kevin Garnett's got a dirty mouth'
|at 4:43 pm ET
The matchup between the Goodman League and Drew League over this past weekend finally gave basketball fans a chance to watch a few NBA stars actually competing against each other, and what would a weekend of basketball be without at least some mention of Kevin Garnett and his dirty mouth.
The news that Garnett might swear once or twice or 10,000 times per game should come as no surprise to anybody that's been watching the Celtics over the past four seasons. I'm sure you'll recall his involvement in the Charlie Villanueva "cancer patient" incident or the Channing Frye nut tap fiasco.
The latest comes from Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan — likely a nobody in KG's eyes — who sat down with The Basketball Jones blogger Holly MacKenzie after his contributions to the Drew League. Here's the exchange involving Garnett, which also features his nod to Kobe Bryant as the game's greatest competitor:

In the early 1990's, Bosch was first imported into the US and became a hit. In fact, by emphasizing quietness, Bosch changed the dishwasher industry. They also popularized the odor-resistent stainless steel tub, and Bosch dishwashers have always been reasonably priced.
Bosch has replaced most of its line and lowered their prices across the board. It is somewhat puzzling, because price has never been the issue. It is much cheaper than the quality obsessed Miele and not much more expensive than the commodity lines of Frigidaire, GE and Whirlpool.
Bosch manufactures four types of dishwashers: the Ascenta, integrated, panelled and regular faces. The first three letters indicates the series. The fourth number indicates the amount of cycles and the last two digits is color. So a SHX43R55UC is an integrated, 4 cycle dishwasher in stainless steel. Let's look at a few:
Ascenta SHE3ARL2UC $399 after $100 in rebates: The Ascenta is Bosch's inexpensive line of dishwashers. It still has the stainless tank, but the bottom is plastic. The door is lighter, and the control is a cheaper plastic than the regular line. Still, for $399, the Ascenta is a decent dishwasher.
Regular SHE43P25UC $649 after $150 in rebates: The SHE43P25UC is the most popular Bosch dishwasher. It is quiet, has the main cycles and the stainless tank. The 5 series or the SHE55M15UC has a delicate cycle for $70 more after rebate.
Panelled SHV43P13UC $809 after $100 in rebates: Last year, a Bosch panelled dishwasher was $1,000. Anyway, if you plan on buying a dishwasher for custom panels, the European brands do not protrude and are a better choice than American brands (BTW, Bosch dishwashers are manufactured in North Carolina).
Integrated SHX43R55UC $764 after $150 in rebates: An integrated dishwasher has hidden controls. It is, however, the same functionally as a regular dishwasher, just nicer looking. The SHX43R55UC is the least expensive integrated dishwasher with a stainless tank.
How does Bosch compare to KitchenAid and Miele? Read these posts:

Beer O'Clock
It's a good thing I burned so many calories at the gym Saturday morning because I ate them all back at dinner Saturday night!
I met my friend Robyn at the Laurelwood Brew Pub in NE Portland. When I suggested it I thought it was a different pub that I'd been to a few years ago. I got there and realized I'd never been before. I think the pub I was thinking of is the Alameda Pub. Oh well! I like trying new places.
I got there at 5pm and the place was already packed. The bar was full. I was able to get on the list for a table for two and the wait was short. Robyn arrived and we were able to get an order in before Happy Hour ended.
Robyn and I both ordered the fish tacos off the happy hour menu. They were a bit of a disappointment to be honest. They weren't very flavorful and they were so wet and drippy the homemade tortilla just turned to mush.
For my adult beverage enjoyment I ordered the sampler platter. I asked her to substitute the seasonals for the Porter and the Stout because those aren't my types of beers.
I love getting the sampler trays at breweries. It gives me the opportunity to try beers I'd normally never order. There were two beers I did not like on my sampler tray so I gave those to Robyn. 🙂
Of the samples I had I decided my favorite was the Free Range Red. I ordered a full glass of that one. Robyn was drinking some fancy seasonal beer that was so strong the waitress said they only allow people to have one! She was nice though and let Robyn have two. I wish I could remember what it was called…
I really enjoyed my Red. It was sweet but not overly sweet and just the right amount of hops for this beer-wussie.
Free Range Red
Free Range Red is a rich copper-colored ale with loads of fresh hop flavor. Medium in body the caramel sweetness blends wonderfully with the smooth hop flavor creating a balanced, super drinkable beer. This beer is brewed with 100% Organically-grown malts.
Comments from the Brewmaster:
Chad: "This beer is Laurelwood. Organic, hoppy but balanced, and super drinkable. Free Range is by far our most popular beer."
Beer Stats
- Alcohol Content: 5.9%
- IBUs: 60
- Original Gravity: 14º Plato
- Terminal Gravity: 3º Plato
- Malt: Organic 2-Row, Organic Crystal
Robyn and I also shared the Artichoke dip. It was to die for!
I definitely could have eaten that Artichoke dip entirely by myself. It was so good. Thankfully Robyn ate some too. 🙂 My beer was finally gone but the conversation was so good we lingered longer.
Instead of ordering another beer Robyn agreed to split a piece of chocolate cake with me. You know when you have those great times with friends, where conversation is good you don't want the evening to end and when the food and drink stop that means it's time to go…We made it last a little longer with this:
The chocolate was wonderful. The cake part was a little on the dry side. But then not much compares to the amazing desserts of Papa Haydn's.
We parted ways and I went home. Michael and I sat on the floor in front the fireplace and chatted until bedtime. It had a great night out with a friend and a good night home by a cozy fire with Michael.

I want what she's having! I have figured out that I really like strong, dark (or amber) beers. Yummy! I have a low tolerance, though, so I have to sip and enjoy slowly. 😉
Mmmmmmm everything you ordered sounds right up my alley. I loooove artichoke dip, fish tacos, and chocolate cake. The highlight of my weekend was my sister's baby shower yesterday!
I wish that I was a fan of beers…but I'm just not! Although, I'm a fan of that dessert! 🙂
the laurelwood red is one of josh's favorites. they sell it in bottles too! (fred meyer usually has it)
Yum! It all looks and sounds delicious. We don't eat out much – maybe because we have a limited number of decent restaurants around here.
I love all your beer reviews! I'm a total beer girl myself.
The best part of my weekend was using a lot of Christmas gift cards and spoiling myself with brand new makeup. I feel like a new woman.
Whenever i drink beer or any alchol i get an incredable apetite for sweets so i wind up eating to many calories for the day..

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Battery charger pack specs comparison!
Jan 4, 2014 at 10:46 pm #1311787
I wanted to find the smartest choice so I compiled a list of specs. It was annoying as hell to convert it from a spreadsheet into an image and it didn't come out that great. I suggest you save the original file and then zoom in on your computer or phone. It'd be nice to have it on the web and sortable but I'm not going to put in the time.
I highlighted the best deals. It's unclear which weights include charger cable. A short micro-USB to USB weighs around an ounce or less. Most of them are USB output, a few have DC. This isn't totally complete. I left out ones that I couldn't find weights for and also bad deals. Let me know if I'm missing any.
If you have questions about how any of this works, check this out: http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/solar-chargers-portable-power.html
NOTE: After doing a little more research on 2000mAh IOGEAR, I think the weight is >2oz and the specs quoted were wrong.

Wow that's a lot of research. Nice effort.
It would be great to have a power pack that charges from the wall (rather than USB) so on a thru hike I could use the power pack to replenish a device in the field, but also use the power pack to charge the device at a Starbucks in town (ie. wall plug in -> power pack -> usb cord -> device). If one could do that and leave the regular wall charger at home then it would be more effective.Jan 6, 2014 at 12:48 pm #2060925
Dave TMember
That's why I picked my USB charger by NewTrent, a TravelPak Plus. You can get bigger capacities (it is "only" 7000mah), etc. but I like the form factor, pop out AC prongs, and pass-through charging (so it charges itself in an outlet while also charging 1-2 items plugged into it).
Used it on a long trip recently to keep my headlamp (Petzl Core), GPS watch, Iphone, Ipod shuffle, etc. charged and it worked great. Topped it up every 3-4 days when I got to a power outlet, and it handled all my charging needs.Jan 6, 2014 at 2:29 pm #2060958

I can attest to Anker's customer service, if not quality. My 12-year-old bought an Anker gaming mouse off Amazon which stopped working (not 100%) after a few months. With little help from me, he was able to contact their warranty department, and got a new one within a week without any hassle.Jan 6, 2014 at 4:31 pm #2060994
I got an email from Patriot (Fuel+) confirming that their weights include the cable. I'm going to assume the rest of the weights, for the most part, also include the cable.
The Travelpaks are definitely cool since they eliminate that redundancy, but they're heavy. The Travelpak+ (7000mAh) is 8oz, the Travelpak is 6oz, and the Chargepak is 6.6oz.
For the additional weight (unsure.. ~1oz?) of carrying a USB wall charger, you get more mAh: http://www.firefold.com/usb-wall-charger-white
eg, if you carry 3 GearPower 2000s and a USB wall charger, that's 6000mAh for 4oz. Or the PocketCell Duo and charger– 6800mAh for 5.7oz.
It's too bad they don't make more of these with plugs on them!

About 6 months ago I got the NewTrent PowerPak Xtreme (http://www.newtrent.com/store/iphone-external-battery-iphone-portable-battery/powerpakxtreme.html). Lil heavier (11oz) but this is solid + dependable. I charged it once from the wall (approx 8 hours) and after that used it to recharge my iPhone 5 about 5x – and, it held that initial charge for about 4 months! Especially for heading into the wild this is excellent gear and dependable. I can use GPS a little more freely without nervously rationing horizontal bars. Surveying the current crop of manufactured goods, there doesn't seem to be much else I would trust for a multi-day trip; the solar tech seems underwhelming without MYOG mods/builds. Oh yeah, the Xtreme has mil spec features for shock+water so there's less worry about trail wear. Maybe a lil heavy for UL purists, but this is dependable FWIW.Jan 27, 2014 at 6:40 pm #2067003

@jenmitolLocale: In my dreams....
Don't laugh…but I'm pretty tech stupid. This is my understanding of said products:
These are rechargeable battery packs that one carries in lieu of a solar charger to recharge one's devices, correct? So instead of an as yet unreliable solar charger, I carry this batter pack around, can recharge things maybe 2-5 times, then I need to recharge the recharger????
So on a thru hike, this would work well as you could top off the battery pack AND the devices, but as the devices drain in the field you can keep topping them off until this battery pack dies. And the desire for a wall charger is to hook what to the wall??
Sorry, but I've been looking at solar chargers really closely and with great disappointment, but I've started to read about these…….

Choosing an External Battery
January 23, 2014
I recently investigated the external battery market. As always, a backpacker needs to become a minor expert in a subject in order to see through the marketing fluff and make a wise purchasing decision so I thought it might be useful to pass on some of my new-found knowledge.
What Is An External Battery?
Charging a smartphone
Physically an unremarkable metal and plastic oblong probably about the size of a thick smartphone (the thicker ones probably have more capacity, i.e. store more juice) or some smaller ones are lipstick shaped. It is basically a big battery which you can recharge hundreds of times from a wall charger or via a USB cable from, say, a laptop or personal computer.
It stores the electricity (which I shall call 'juice') for several months, losing only a little over time, and when you need to recharge one of your devices (ebook reader, phone, tablet, camera, GPS unit, headlamp, etc.) you connect it with an appropriate cable (you often have to supply your own, such as the one that came with your device) and it charges your device. It may or may not do this very quickly and it may or may not charge it all the way up and it may or may not be able to repeat this process depending on the respective capacities of the device and the battery.
It is worth noting that they are useful for many, but not all, mobile devices. A colleague just bought a Toshiba Excite tablet and, unlike say a Google Nexus or Apple iPad, it requires a traditional laptop-like 'brick' transformer outputting 3 amps and therefore isn't really 'portable' despite its form factor and 'tablet' name. Such devices are beyond the purview of the external batteries reviewed here.
So, if you carry an external battery you will be able to recharge your compatible devices 'in the field', both metaphorically and literally, i.e. away from a wall charger. This makes them potentially useful to backpackers who wish to carry electronic devices (phones, GPS units and personal locator beacons in particular) that will otherwise run out of power too soon. Day hikers probably don't need to carry one.
What Do I Need To Know In Advance?
You have to be clear in advance which devices you want to charge with this battery, what power input port each has (all devices have only one power input port ), what the input rating for that port is (in watts) and what the capacity of each of these devices is (in "milliamp hours"). You should also check the input voltage for your device is around the output voltage of the external battery, usually 5V.
And of course you have to decide yourself how many times you want to be able to recharge your device – is an emergency 20% top-up sufficient, do you want to recharge it fully twice, or whatever you want. Obviously, the more spare juice you want the bigger a battery you will have to carry.
Aside: some devices quote their capacity as 'watt hours' instead of milliamp hours. To convert watt hours into milliamp hours you divide the battery watt hours by the battery voltage and then multiply by 1000. In practice it is easier to just Google "'my device name' battery in mah" to get the answer. E.g. the iPad Air (2013 version) is only listed as 32.4WH on Apple.com but Wikipedia soon tells you that it's about 8800mAh.
What Are the Key Features of the External Battery?
Capacity – aka how much juice it can store. Luckily this is expressed in the same way for all batteries and appears to be a reliable and trustworthy value. It is 'milliamp hours' or mAh and the number is often found in the product name itself but is always found in the product description or specifications list ('specs'). A very small value is 1000, a medium size is 4000-5000 and a large one is, well, bigger than that.
Weight – this is always a key spec to consider for all items when backpacking.
How many output ports – batteries always come with at least 1 output port but some come with 2, 4 or even more. Decide how many you need. Having an extra one or two you won't use is not a problem other than the extra weight and space they will have taken up.
What kind of output port(s) does it have? Micro-USB, full-size USB, Apple 30-pin or Lightning? Typically a 2-port unit has 0 or 1 micro-USB ports and 1 or 2 full-size USBs but check. To use an Apple device from a full-size USB port you just need to use the cable that came with your Apple device. While you can buy an Apple micro-USB converter it probably isn't worth it; it's easier to get a battery with a full-size USB.
Input rating – how much charge it can take into itself dictates how quickly the battery itself recharges. This is a very important feature that is little-discussed and can be hard to find but will impact you enormously when out backpacking with very limited access to wall sockets for recharging.
Output rating(s) – how much charge it can give out to your devices. What charge can each output port give out? How is that charge affected when more than one device is plugged in (is it shared)?
You might think that 'ruggedness' is a key feature a backpacker looks for but actually this feature is so rare as to render a shortlist self-defining and the battery would be so heavy that it makes more sense to pop a battery in a light waterproof bag and just be careful not to drop it.
Note: all external batteries supply only a fraction of their rated capacity to the charging device due to loss to heat and other inefficiencies. Typically this runs from 70% to 80% so before purchase you have to accept that a 5000 mAh battery may only supply 4000 mAh of juice at best.
Do You Actually Need One?
So now we know what is going on in with batteries in general we can decide if they are right for me. If I take a 1470mAh Kindle for book reading and an 1420mAh iPhone 4 for I would probably only need the battery for the phone since the Kindle lasts a long time between charges and is not at all vital to keep charged – whenever I run across a usable power outlet every week or two, that will be fine.
Some devices allow you to change the internal battery. Cameras and some cellphones for example. You can maybe even purchase such a replacement battery with a bigger capacity than the manufacturer supplied one making it a real double-win for you. In this instance you may elect to simply take a spare battery for that device only, rather than use a generic external battery, or at least use that idea to supplement your battery needs. For example, I will take two camera batteries because I can get a 1500mAh battery for my Olympus TG-630 for £5 to supplement the Olympus-supplied 925mAh one. Together they ought to last a week or two.
That iPhone 4 has a 1420mAh capacity. A battery that weighs about the same as the phone (136g) will be about 5000mAh capaity so will supply about 2.8 full charges (5000*0.80 efficiency/1420). That's pretty useful. A fully-charged iPhone and battery will give me at least 3.8 uses of the phone.
One tip I picked up is that many devices 'fast-charge' up to 80% of its full capacity and then slow- or trickle-charges up to 100%. This means that it is more time-efficient to only recharge to 80% each time as the final 20% could take almost as long. Check your own device before setting off and see if this true for it.
And another thing: there is a long-held myth that batteries such as these or the battery in your device must be fully drained before each recharge, and that each recharge must be to 100% each time, or else the battery will develop a 'memory effect' such that it doesn't store as much juice as when you first bought it. This is not true with modern lithium-ion batteries ("li-ion"). Check your manual. It may recommend the occasional such cycle, in which case follow those instructions, but nothing more is necessary.
Shortlist Criteria
My core needs were as following:
I am taking an iPhone 5 and a Kindle The iPhone has a capacity of 1440mAh, accept 1 Watt input and uses an Apple Lightning port. Apple supply a USB-Lightning cable with the phone so that can be used. The Kindle is about 1300mAh, uses micro-USB and accepts 500 ma (milliamps) of input.
My shortlist criteria therefore were:
A 4000-5000 mAh battery with a full-size USB output port capable of supplying at least 1 amp. This is a pretty standard requirement.
I want it to be as light as possible (of course).
One output port. Nothing wrong with 2 but I only need 1 as I have no requirement to charge my phone and Kindle simultaneously.
I want it charge as quickly as possible so I want the input rating to be as high as possible (2 amp or more). The vast majority of batteries only take 1 amp so will charge twice as slowly as one that takes 2 amps. This was a big filter that cut down the shortlist to a very short list.
Good reputation. I didn't want a battery direct from the Far East with no trading history, no US- or European-based company to take responsibility. I wanted to be able to rely on the unit working in the backcountry, I wouldn't have the chance to ring suppliers, return the product, get a replacement, etc. It had to work first time and best way to ensure that is to stay away from the 'bleeding edge'.
Optional: 2 amp or greater output. While an iPhone and Kindle would not need it, many people report an iPhone charges slightly quicker when the charger exceeds the standard 1 amp and I also wanted the battery to work for the tablets we have at home so it had more use outside of the AT hike. This was a minor decision criterion therefore.Jan 28, 2014 at 9:20 am #2067170

@jenmitolLocale: In my dreams....
So you tech types…considering the state of the market at this point, it seems like a battery pack may be the best for thru hiking at this point, yes? I need a rare Nook charge, a more frequent Delorme SE and an occasional iPhone top off.
During my JMT I wished I could have charged the delorme and the nook (accidentally drained the reader in my pack one day…wanted a charge SO bad!! But a borrowed solar charge gave me a mere 3% charge that lasted just a day. But I digress). I'd like to be able to have the delorme drop more frequent breadcrumbs (for later viewing, not necessarily for safety…).
I'm doing a thru hike of something this August/September (CT or the JMT again) and was looking at solar chargers, but I'm so unimpressed and they're not cheap. Maybe the battery pack is the way to go.
Thanks so much for the article!!!Jan 28, 2014 at 10:00 am #2067183

The main issue with this is that you're losing efficiency moving power from one battery to another battery.
If you are stuck with your iphone or a camera that doesn't have external batteries then … you're stuck.
However, it makes much more sense in my book to just buy external batteries for your device.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and it rocks. I have about 6 external batteries and I can charge them up and get about 2 weeks of power from it. This includes taking liberal videos, pictures, etc.
Anything more than 2 weeks implies you should probably be using a solar charger.Jan 28, 2014 at 10:04 am #2067188

Solar is unlimited, but a weak current and give a slow charge and you need good direct sunlight for best output. I hike in deep dark forests in a region with lots of rain and overcast, so they aren't a very good option for me. If youre in deserts or above treeline, you might get good use from one. There's whole tangent to go on there. It struck me that forest fire lookouts would be the perfect place for a big solar panel.
The good quality battery packs are reliable and fast and easy to use. They have good everyday and general travel uses too. We keep one in the car so it is a universal backup and there for hikes as needed. I have a cigarette lighter adapter so I can charge it in the car.
I like the known value and control with the battery packs. Some have indicator lights to give you a rough idea of the state of the charge and how much remains. They can be shared, which drops the weight value a bit.
If I were through hiking, the ones with a charger built in are appealing, with less stuff to haul, lose or break. I would definitely want the option of charging the battey pack and my devices at the same time.
From there I think it is a choice of a small light CYA/backup that will give a single or partial charge vs a larger heavier unit that will give several full charges.
Another hiking option is a weatherproof case with a battery pack built in. Most have a switch, so you only use the extra battery deliberately, as needed.
I wish Apple would build a phone with replaceable batteries. My old phones worked well that way and carrying a couple spares was easy. Some designs would allow using a larger battery that was even better.Jan 28, 2014 at 11:20 am #2067210

There is another battery option. It should appeal to the ultralightweight hiker, but not to others.
That is to build an external battery pack that uses lithium primary batteries. Simple battery holders can be placed inside a plastic bag. These are "One-Shot" batteries, but they get you a very high amount of power for the weight. Besides, lithium primary batteries can supply a tremendous current, even at cold temperatures.
If you are trying to charge a device at 5V, then four lithium primary batteries in series will provide 6.8V, so a zener diode might be helpful for protection of the device.
The cheap version of this is the same, except that it uses alkaline batteries.

Like Bob mentioned, I like to be able to carry spare batteries for my charger so I bought a SolarFocus charger that uses AA batteries for its power source. I don't use the recharbgeables that came with it, they didn't work very well but with Lithium AA's it's been good. It also has an add-on solar piece as well that sells separately but I wasn't interested in that. With any of the battery chargers, I find it's most efficient to only top up to 50%… the last 30% or so seems to drain the batteries exceptionally fast, so I don't bother trying for a 100% top up.

Thanks Steven for the spreadsheet! (FWIW, it's easy to put your spreadsheet into a dropbox folder and share the link so people can view it that way.)
Thanks to Sparky for the link to his article.
And thanks to Tyler for link to FluxMob Bolt – I just ordered one.
I've been using a Jackery and mostly happy with it. But it doesn't allow pass-through charging, so with only one power adapter I have to choose between charging the battery and charging the phone when I stop for 15 minutes at a grocery store. So I've been on the hunt for a small light battery that has pass-through charging. The FluxMob looks just perfect for thru-hikes. For backcountry hikes the FluxMob product makes no sense, since you don't need a power adapter and you don't do any recharging during the hike – for those purposes I've been happy with the Jackery (or something similar from Steven's list).
The Jackery 2600mAh + its input charging cable + iPhone power adapter = 3.8 oz.
The FluxMob is advertised to be 3.1 oz and 3000mAh. 15% more battery capacity, pass-through charging, and 0.7 oz lighter than my current solution! I like it already.

I have a little 2 oz battery pack with a solar panel attached. Not that great. Planning a 10 day hike and will need a larger one. My camera, Kodak ZX5, has integrated battery so I have to charge it. I also take a lot of video for youtube, am I a dork, so plan on recharging probably every 2 days. Lucky for me it has the same USB as my phone. I think the battery is 1050 mah. So how big do I need to get to get about 5 -7 charges? Was looking at the Anker Astro e5 at 15000 mah for 11.2 oz. it is 50 bucks. Heavy too but it is what it is. The E3 is 10000 mah at 8.5 oz. Little lighter.

I probably didn't search hard enough
I own a 2013 WRX and I like the seats but I want seats that hug me more for spirited driving. I have never replaced seats before except in my old 92 Eclipse GSX 12 years ago. I have a couple quick questions.
1.I am sure not just any car seat bolts into the stock frame.
(a)what seats do without any modification?
(b)how do you fit other seats in the vehicle with modification?
2.With the sensors that are in the seat such as seatbelt and airbags, does it produce any problems once you disconnect them?
I'm sure someone has traded the seats out at some point I would appreciate some experience

Navigating The Pentium Clutter
In most industries, the launch of new product lines is carefully planned to keep markets orderly and avoid confusing consumers. Then there's the computer business.
On May 7, Intel took the wraps off one of the industry's worst-kept secrets, the Pentium II microprocessor. This was the second major processor line launched by Intel this year and means that personal computers built around four distinct families of Pentiums are now on the market. It's hardly surprising if consumers are having some trouble figuring out what to buy.
There's no question about what the Pentium II brings to the mix. It combines the raw computing speed of the Pentium Pro chip introduced last year with the multimedia abilities of the MMX technology that Intel began adding to its regular Pentiums in January. In addition, it is much faster than the Pentium Pro when running older DOS and Windows 3.1 programs.
HEAVY-DUTY. I didn't run any formal performance tests on the 266-megahertz Pentium II Dell Dimension XPS I tested. But it felt like the fastest Intel-based machine I've ever used. To get some quantitative assessment of just how fast, I timed how long it took to apply a special effect to a photo in Micrografx Picture Publisher. The Pentium II Dell completed the operation in less than 10 seconds whether using Windows 95 or NT. A 200-MHz Pentium Pro computer running NT took 16 seconds, while a 200-MHz MMX Pentium with Win 95 took nearly twice as long. An old DOS word processor that barely crawled on the Pentium Pro flew on the Pentium II.
People who do heavy-duty image editing need really fast machines, but how do the rest of us decide which processor to choose? In coming months, Intel will probably make it easier by narrowing its offerings. The non-MMX Pentiums will likely disappear, except for budget laptops. The Pentium Pro, too, is apt to fade away from desktop machines, finding its niche in servers and exotic multiprocessor workstations. And except at the low end, the only choice for laptop buyers will be the MMX Pentium, since a version of the II suitable for mobile devices is unlikely before next year.
For the moment, Intel sees the Pentium II going mainly to corporate desktops, while the MMX Pentium should be the chip of choice for home users "due to its wide availability in consumer configurations...at mainstream price points." But Intel's customers aren't necessarily going along. Dell, for example, launched the Pentium II in its home and small business-oriented Dimension line rather than in its corporate OptiPlex series. And a loaded 266-MHz Dimension fetches $2,700 without a monitor, which is expensive, though not prohibitively so, for the home power user. Gateway 2000 offers a 233-MHz version with a 17-inch monitor for $2,649.
For most customers, Intel's advice is sound. The Pentium II offers more power than they need, and a 266-MHz system will cost about $400 more than a similarly equipped 200-MHz MMX Pentium. But if you're into demanding uses--or if you plan to run Windows NT--the II (or its somewhat less expensive functional equal, the Advanced Micro Devices K6) may well be worth the extra cost.
By the end of this year, it's likely that, except for a few budget models, desktop computers will range from 166- MHz MMX Pentiums to the 300-MHz Pentium IIs. (Among Macintoshes, there has been a similar acceleration, with the range going from the 180-MHz PowerPC 603e to the 300-MHz 604e.)
REALLY SIMPLE. What are consumers supposed to do with all this power and speed? After all, a faster chip doesn't let you type faster in your word processor, and Internet performance has far more to do with the speed of your modem connection. There are a handful of applications, such as videoconferencing and photo editing, that can benefit from raw power. But the real benefit will come when software developers use the power of really fast machines to make them really simple.
Imagine voice commands, for example. Instead of speaking such phrases as "Microsoft Word; file; open; letter-dot-doc," which require memorizing a series of mouse clicks, users can eventually use natural-language commands such as, "Get me the letter that I wrote to Mr. Smith this morning." This sort of simplicity takes a tremendous amount of processing power that is now tantalizingly close. When more powerful microprocessors make computers smarter, as well as faster, we'll all be winners.

Hi guys,
Here's my story. A couple of months ago I acquired an E36 316i Compact (M43B16 engine) and also managed to source a Mosselman turbo kit for 1.6 and 1.8 E36's. Most of it fitted relatively alright - even though it took a lot of blood, sweat and swearing to get certain things fitted.
Currently it's not running properly - it's kinda "hiccupy" every now and then, and under full throttle it bogs down like a cow in quick sand. With partial throttle it seems to go a bit better, but only so far - as it's not full throttle. At first I thought it might be over-fuelling, but after turning down the fuel pressure regulator a couple of turns (to lean it out/make it slightly less rich running) it seems even worse to some extent.
It's boosting fine as far as I can tell getting to just around the 5 psi mark (no boost controller attached for now) - but I think I might be missing a breather hose that I haven't disconnected or blocked off, or something along those lines...
I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this, with the aid of some pictures or in-detail description of what hoses need to be disconnected/re-routed. Or maybe give me some insight and general info about these engines (as I know more about Vauxhall engines than these over-engineered powerhouses) so I can figure out where the air/fuel/whatever might be going missing or just why it's running how it's running in general.
Cheers guys!

Sid and Broad free for Notts duties
Nottinghamshire's England stars Stuart Broad and Ryan Sidebottom will be available for two of the first three LV County Championship matches of the season after returning from their successful tour of New Zealand.
The pair will be available, if fit, to feature against Oxford UCCE from April 23-25 before travelling to Headingley to take on Yorkshire in the LV County Championship from April 30 to May 3.
They then have a chance to appear in the first home Championship fixture of the season against Kent, from May 7-10, before the Test series with New Zealand begins on May 15.
Notts Director of Cricket Mick Newell said: "Both players had a big part to play in England's series win so we're delighted to have them available to us for two important matches.
"Sidebottom's performances have been excellent for the best part of a year now and Broad came on well in the last two Tests.
"With Sidebottom's central contract, every appearance he makes will be a bonus to us. We will see how things go with Broad but clearly he is in pole position to retain his place following his good winter."
Team-mate Graeme Swann is available to play in all Notts fixtures from the start of the season.

Microbial ecology may be a young field but it is well understood already that there is a broad spectrum of interactions between bacterial species, ranging from cooperative to competitive. In a recent paper researchers from John Mekalanos' lab further characterized a recently discovered mechanism for inter-cell communication. This system, called the Type VI secretion system (T6SS), is a multi-protein complex native to many bacterial strains and structurally and functionally similar to a bacteriophage tail. The T6SS system is unique in that it is used as a weapon for injecting toxic proteins into the cytoplasm not only of animal host cells but also of neighboring bacterial cells by propelling its components through the neighbors' membrane. The toxic effector proteins, Tse1 and Tse3, are peptidoglycan-degrading enzymes that can cause cell lysis in the absence of antitoxin proteins.
