The Widow's Funeral
I am sitting inside the carriage for quite a while now. I breathe in some air. I'm trying to control my patience.
The slow movement of our carriage is because carriages were lined up before us. We are currently waiting for our turn to get out and head inside the church for the funeral.
"Older sister... I am so sorry." Someone hold my right hand. I looked at my brother Edmund. Gentle as always.
We are the only persons inside carriage now. Since Erin doesn't have any relatives left to take care of the funeral, mother is the one approaching the visitors inside.She's my brother's widow after all, so she's part of our family. About the presence of the King, Father is not of good health. Although he wanted to go, mother didn't approve of it. And because it's mother, father will listen to her.
When my younger brother found out that I don't have someone with me when I'll go to the funeral,he immediately asked permission from Merylla to take a leave and went straight to me.
"No. You shouldn't be saying that Edmund. He's with older brother right now, let's be happy for her." I smiled bitterly.
Oh Edmund, if you only knew that this was only for show. I wanted to say it aloud. But of course, I'll ruin the plan if I tell him about that.
We didn't notice that the door opened, I fixed my veil and we come out of the carriage. Haaaaaaa. This scenario.......I remembered my brother's funeral two years ago. I shook my head. Regain yourself Elleithyia.
We entered the church. I let my eyes scanned all the people present in here as we slowly walked the isle. As expected, there are many aristocrats who showed themselves here. In this society where trickery is kinda rampant, their intentions is either one of which ;to sympathize or to just show off.
When we reached the seats designated for the royal family, the mass started. Erin is inside the coffin. Well, because she's alive, we customized it so she will be able to breathe inside. Although mother wanted the coffin to be empty, I disagreed at her suggestion. This is because there will be the a part that the priest will open the coffin so we can finally say our last goodbye. If we let that empty, it will lead the funeral to chaos.
I examined the guests. Good thing that I have a veil. I am hardly trying not to let myself laugh. Well, it's because some of them were really trying so hard to let tears fall from their eyes. These people, they weren't even close to Erin. To cry as if they really care, it disgusts me.
The Eulogy part just started. This is the moment I wanted the most. It is because I will assess the one speaking if he or she is sincere or not. My assessment will be the basis in which houses I need myself to get acquainted with.
It will be the longest part. Many aristocrats wanted to speak in front. Even in this kind of a solemn event, politics still enters. I let out a sigh.
Every houses have their representative to speak. I paid attention to every eulogy delivered.
It's really hard to suppress myself from laughing. I've heard several exaggerated and fabricated lies from people who don't even know who Erin is. To prevent myself from letting a laugh come out, I clenched my fist hardly and my gentle brother holds my hand whenever he saw me doing that.
I am sure that Erin, hearing those speeches from these aristocrats, is also holding herself not to laugh. Oh my Erin, we are both in the same situation right now.
Other houses played it safely when they were telling their eulogies. Ahhh. It's hard for me to decide if I'll include them to my side or not if they are playing safe.
I memorized the name of the persons who are sincere enough to express their condolences to the royal family. What I am doing will be convenient in the future.
After that eulogy part, it's the time for opening the coffin. The priest opened it slowly and all of us gathered to say our last goodbye. When all is finished, it ended and we will now proceed to the royal cemetery for the internment .
The stand in which the coffin will be placed was also custom built. The moment the coffin was placed there and the carriage started moving, Erin can get out of the coffin without being seen. The stand has sliding opening and the coffin is also big enough so she can move freely inside to open the back portion of it.Erin practiced going out of the coffin a day before the funeral so we can make adjustments to it.
The internment was finished in no time and we left the place as soon as possible. My younger brother separated with me and went with mother so he can visit father in the palace. I also wanted to go with them, but I need to settle things in the fief first before I return to the palace.
I headed to my carriage and went inside. As soon as I sat down, someone grabbed my shoulder from behind.
"Goodness. You startled me.. Erin."
"I'm sorry,your highness."
The carriage started to move. When we got out of the Royal Capital, I broke the silence.
"So... Did you enjoy your fake funeral?"
She chuckled. "So much..."
We both started recalling the eulogies and started laughing our hearts out.
I'll be updating as soon as I have the time. Be patient for a while. :)

These folks will be speaking at the annual CLHS and CLMS conferences. Their amazing program helps students answer the question "what do I want to do with my life?" It's for students "interested in exploring the world outside their comfort zone, talking with individuals who chose to define their own road in life, and sharing their experiences with our generation." Very cool.

In 1990, Cystic Fibrosis Queensland provided significant funds to begin the first research body in Australia for cystic fibrosis (CF). Cystic Fibrosis Research Limited (CFRL) has been managed by a Board with support from Cystic Fibrosis Queensland.
This group has been providing research funds since 1990. They work with the Australian Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust in deciding who to support with research grants on a yearly basis.
As funds have always been invested and there is no set amount reinvested back into research, the amount available to be used by researchers is determined by the return on investment. Over the last 23 years, since the inception of CFRL, it has provided just over $1,000,000 to research, which averages out to $43,000 a year.
The Directors of CFRL are:
Trevor Bridger (Chair) Margaret Walker Guy Taylor Odette Wiggins Suzy Munt
If you would like to know more about CFRL please contact Guy Taylor email: email@example.com
If you would like to make a donation towards CFRL email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cystic Fibrosis Queensland continues to support CFRL.

sailing from california to hawaii on 25-27 footer
is this possible? would this be a really scary thing to do? im seriously considering it..but have never sailed before.
Heard the one about the three best friend computer nerds who bought a 22-foot Catalina and sailed to Hawaii? A few days along the voyage the beer ran out. When they got to Oahu they hated each others' guts, sold the boat, and flew home.
Seriously... a much shorter test voyage is extremely recommended, along with learning all you can. Consider that only a minority of experienced sailors have completed a voyage this ambitious.
i wouldn't without an eperb hmmm i wouldn't with an eperb,lots can happen in 3000 thousand miles of open ocean
sailing for months
if i were to sail for several months straight, maybe 6 months, and learn as much as possible through the internet and other sailors i run into, do you think i may be good enough to voyage to hawaii by then?...i know theres many sailors who sail but im talking about living on the boat so 7 months straight sailing or 6 months i think would be good enough practice, but i could be wrong, thats why im asking you guys
Sailing experience does not work like that. You could sailing every day for six months and have a nice every day and not learn a fraction of the things you would need to know to head offshore. You learn when things go wrong, not when they go right.
Find someone to crew for to Hawaii or somewhere else (Mexico?). There is so much to learn and it can't be speeded up that much - that is one of the joys of sailing. I have been doing it for more than 40 years and still am constantly learning. Did not go offshore (NYC to Bermuda which is less than 700 miles) until I had about 20 years under the belt.
Our club is nearing 50 years old... in the formative years when there were perhaps 20-24 members near half of them were crossing oceans in boats that today many wouldn't take across a large lake.
Yes it can be done.. today's sailors are not nearly as hardy a bunch, as a rule, as the 'old days' of wooden ships and iron sailors. Robin Graham did it in the 60s as a teenager, but most of the people tackling that trip will have had decades if not years of coastal sailing prior to making that leap.
From your own description of the 'space' you're in right now, I'd say you're a long way from ready... but there's always a 'but'......
might be a better idea to make your first sail a shorter voyage closer to shore

text: BLUE BELL, Pa., July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT: INO) announced today that the first patients have been treated in a clinical trial evaluating immune responses in elderly adults immunized with Inovio's H1N1 SynCon® universal influenza vaccine. This phase I study will evaluate the ability of Inovio's SynCon® vaccine alone as well as in combination with the 2012 seasonal influenza vaccine to generate: protective levels of immune responses; antigen-specific antibody immune responses against unmatched influenza strains; and T-cell immune responses that may be helpful in fighting influenza. The population most susceptible to influenza, those over 65 years of age, represent about 90% of annual influenza deaths in the US. Older people's immune systems typically mount weaker immune responses to vaccines. There is consequently a need for new vaccine technology able to stimulate a broader immune response that is capable of protecting against influenza strains not specifically matched to the strain(s) represented in the vaccine. The phase I open label study will take place at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada, funded in part by a grant from the Canadian Institute of Health Research. In the trial, 50 healthy elderly patients will be divided into three groups: One group of 20 subjects will receive a 2 dose regimen of Inovio's H1N1 SynCon® flu vaccine delivered using Inovio's proprietary CELLECTRA® intradermal electroporation device; a second group of 20 subjects will receive one dose of Inovio's SynCon® vaccine delivered using electroporation followed by a dose of the 2012 trivalent seasonal flu vaccine 24 weeks later; a third group of 10 subjects will receive a placebo delivered by electroporation followed by a dose of the seasonal flu vaccine 24 weeks later. The study will assess the tolerability, safety, and the immune responses of the different vaccination regimens. See the detailed clinical study protocol. Dr. Gary P. Kobinger, Chief, Special Pathogens Program, National Microbiology Laboratory, Public Health Agency of Canada, and a principal investigator of his study, said, "There have been limited new vaccine innovations with the potential to better protect the elderly against influenza. We are pleased to conduct this trial to evaluate this potential breakthrough influenza vaccine technology." Dr. J. Joseph Kim, Inovio's President and CEO, said, "We recently reported protective levels of immune responses against six unmatched strains of influenza in our H5N1 clinical study and expect data in the third quarter from our second influenza study, which includes an H1N1 component and is being tested in a population less vulnerable to influenza. Having achieved best-in-class T-cell responses against other diseases, we will also assess T-cell generation against influenza, which is widely believed to be an important avenue to increasing protection for the highly at-risk 65-plus population." With the vulnerability of elderly in mind, this clinical study will assess the ability to generally induce stronger antibody responses; provide universal cross-strain protection; and stimulate a part of the immune system not triggered by conventional influenza vaccines, the cellular immune response that generates CD8+ killer T-cells.

QB still a question for Stanford
Associated Press | Last updated April 14, 2012
Spring is over and Stanford is still waiting for its next quarterback to blossom. Brett Nottingham and Josh Nunes did little to separate themselves in Stanford's spring game Saturday, splitting time in the Cardinal's 37-29 loss to the White in a game the defense dominated. Stanford coach David Shaw flipped the format to an unconventional offense (Cardinal) vs. defense (White) game to give his quarterbacks a chance to shine. The defense received points for turnovers and stops depending on where each occurred on the field. All eyes at cozy Kezar Stadium in San Francisco's famous Golden Gate Park zoomed into the quarterbacks fighting to replace Andrew Luck, the presumed No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft who was roaming the sidelines. Neither did much to show they're the clear starter.

Jim Furyk ended his season with a first victory in 28 months as he held off a strong European effort to win the Chevron World Challenge in California last night, leaving him to hoist a trophy that immediately reminded one and all of the man-who-wasn't-there.
The American Ryder Cup star saved his best until last, shooting a closing, five-under-par 67 to reach 13 under and win the 18-player tournament at Sherwood Country Club near Los Angeles. Tiger Woods had withdrawn from the event he hosts last Monday in the wake of the media storm and lurid revelations that had followed his car crash outside his Florida home three days previously.
Graeme McDowell proved to be the lucky benefactor of Woods' strife as he earned a last-minute invitation as the world No 1's replacement in the tournament and the Northern Irishman took second place, a shot behind Furyk. Ireland's Padraig Harrington and European No 1 Lee Westwood claimed a tie for third a further stroke away from Furyk on 11 under, while Ian Poulter was in a four-way tie for fifth on nine under.
Furyk had started the day at eight under, two shots behind overnight leaders McDowell and Y E Yang of Korea. He was leading at 12 under with two holes to play but found the large bunker in front of the par-three 17th and was staring at bogey when he laid up on the large green. The American had other ideas and sank the long par putt to stay in the lead.
Westwood birdied the 17th for a share of the lead at 12 under only for Furyk to then birdie the last for a second consecutive, five-under-par 67 to move back into the outright lead at 13 under. In the final group, McDowell had birdied the 16th to get to 11 under but missed a birdie opportunity on 17, leaving Westwood with the most realistic chance of catching Furyk.
The Englishman, needing a birdie to tie, left his second shot pushed up against the right fringe of the green. Needing to hope out to force a play-off, Westwood caught a break when he asked for a ruling on an unplayable stance caused by a recessed sprinkler head and after a lengthy discussion with an official won a drop. That left him still up against the longer grass and able to putt instead of chip, but he pushed his effort wide and left with a short par putt, he missed and had to settle for a 70 at 11 under.
That left McDowell as the only man left able to tie with Furyk and he nearly pulled it off, sending his second shot to within two feet of the hole. It was not enough, however, to prevent Furyk picking up his first win of the year.
Overnight co-leader Yang, the US PGA champion, fell away with a two-over 74 to finish on eight under while England's Paul Casey finally shook off the rust after more than three months suffering with a rib injury to shoot the low round of the week, a 64, to finish on six under par.
*The Australian Robert Allenby ended four years without a win in South Africa yesterday, beating defending champion Henrik Stenson at the third extra hole of a play-off in the Nedbank Challenge at Sun City. The pair both picked up bogeys at the closing hole to finish on the 11-under-par mark of 277 and then parred the 502-yard 18th twice before Swede Stenson bogeyed it again. It was Allenby's first success since his 2005 hat-trick of Australian Open, PGA and Masters titles.
Woods' caddie pledges to stay in 'marriage'
Steve Williams, bag-carrier to Tiger Woods for 10 years, chose an unfortunate analogy at the weekend when explaining his continued fidelity to his employer, despite the world's No 1 golfer's philanderings.
"That's what friends are for," Williams said. "You support them through good and bad. It's like a marriage, really".
Mrs Elin Woods may have other ideas of what constitutes a marriage, of course, and who's to say if Williams' support could be influenced by having become New Zealand's richest 'sportsman' – thanks to Tiger.

Walker's background was more mundane than her ethereal good looks. She was born in Solihull, the daughter of a greengrocer who first worked from a barrow and then from a chain of shops. After St Martin's school in Birmingham, she made her first stage appearances in Birmingham and London - both at the age of 16. Turning down the offer of a film contract from Sir Alexander Korda, she went to Rada, but stayed only a year before gravitating to what was then the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon, where she started by playing Miranda in The Tempest (1952), and went on tour in Australia. She returned in 1954 to appear as Juliet to Laurence Harvey's Romeo, and went on to play Katherine in Henry V and Perdita in Winter's Tale at the Old Vic.
Her looks and graceful skill stood her in good stead in films and television. She appeared in three Hollywood productions for Columbia, The Reckoning (1969), Cromwell (as Mrs Cromwell, 1970) and The Dresser (1983), while her television appear ances included Man At The Top and as a guest in series such as The Likely Lads, The Prisoner, Callan, Heartbeat, Poirot and, this year, Rosemary And Thyme. In 1976, her radio play, The Wake, was broadcast.
Many of her later appearances were at the Nuffield Theatre, Southampton, of which she was an active management board member, and where she took roles in John Gabriel Borkmann and All's Well That Ends Well. Her last performance there was as the much-praised Messenger in Oedipus.
Making her home in Brock enhurst, Hampshire, Zena Walker became a well-loved figure, wearing sensible shoes, breeding horses, reading in the village church and improvising Shakespearean scenes for local schoolchildren. She was married three times: to the actor Robert Urquhart, with whom she had a daughter, and a son who predeceased her; to the actor Julian Holloway; and to the theatrical agent John French.
· Zena Walker, actor, born March 7 1934; died August 24 2003

LinkedIn Marketing Strategies
If you're neglecting your LinkedIn profile, it's time to make a change! While this site may not seem as hip as alternatives like Twitter and Facebook, its lineup of robust networking features makes it perfect for building and nurturing professional relationships – it just takes a little more getting used to, is all.
With more than 275 million users, LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network – but a LOT of businesses aren't taking full advantage of its most sophisticated networking capabilities! That creates a huge opportunity for you, though, because learning to use LinkedIn effectively for your business and your personal brand can open plenty of brand new doors that you might never have known about otherwise.
Whether your profile has been gathering dust for months or you've never even really considered signing up at all, it's time to give this social network its due. There's more to life than Facebook, so quit letting the opportunities that LinkedIn can create pass you by – use this guide to get to know it a little better, and see how far it can take you!
Do I need a LinkedIn account?
It's true – LinkedIn is probably the least sexy mainstream social network out there. This isn't typically the place for juicy gossip, funny videos, or photos from your cat's birthday party. But that doesn't make it any less valuable – in fact, when you're running a business, that can make it MORE valuable.
LinkedIn is designed specifically for professional networking, and while that may make it seem a bit dry and boring, its actual functions are super useful – IF you know how to use them. Social Media Marketer includes our Zero-to-LinkedIn course, but here are some quick and dirty tips:
Should I start a company page on LinkedIn?
When you look around on LinkedIn, you probably see two types of profiles: personal profiles and company pages. EVERYONE starts out with a personal profile – you can't create a company page without one – so start there.
Once your personal profile is set up (keep reading to find out how to make it as good as possible), you'll be able to create a page for your company.
Personal Profile
-Shows recommendations and endorsements
-Shows your personal work history, awards, skills, education, and more
-Limits the number of connections other people can see (after 500, it shows "500+")
-Does not save your status updates in one place (like a Facebook profile does)
Company Page
-Shows exact number of followers
-Shows number of employees on LinkedIn
-Saves your status updates in one place, so visitors to your company page can see past updates like videos, discussions, and more
-Allows you to post job listings
Building a company page for your business gives it a much-needed sense of legitimacy – as much as having a company voicemail, P.O. box, or email address. On a network like Facebook, you may have a split personality – the company profile that you use for business, and the personal profile that you use for connecting with friends and family – but on LinkedIn, both your company page AND your personal profile represent your professional life, and consequently, they are BOTH important.
How can I get more people to see my LinkedIn profile?
LinkedIn uses a search function similar to search engines like Google, which means that you can actually optimize your LinkedIn profile with keywords just like you would a web page. When you're filling out your personal profile, choose a few keywords that are highly relevant to your profession, and that people use when searching for pros like you. This could include things like "destination wedding photography," "family dietician," or "small business web developer."
Sprinkle your keywords of choice throughout your profile, in places like your professional headline, summary, professional experience, and skills sections. (Just be sure to integrate them naturally and inconspicuously, okay?)
What are LinkedIn groups? How many should I join?
LinkedIn groups are the perfect way to build your network. You can find them using the drop-down next to the search bar:
Anyone can start a group, and they can include a wide variety of different categories. Your university may have a group for alumni. Your colleagues may belong to groups specific to your field, where people can network and discuss topics relevant to your industry. Any member of a group can see who the other members are (and even search for people within that list), and perhaps most importantly, any member can post messages on that group's page. This means you can share links and start discussions with other members of that group – and people who actively participate in groups get an average of 4x as many profile views as people who don't.
Use relevant keywords to search for groups that match up with your professional interests, and join the ones that seem like they'd be interesting to you. By participating in those groups, you get your name out in front of people who may not have otherwise heard of you – not a bad way to get free exposure!
Who should I connect with on LinkedIn?
Not sure where to start? Use the "Add Connections" feature:
This allows you to import contacts from your email, so LinkedIn does the hard work and finds people you already know who are on the network. You can also look at the profile pages for companies you've worked for in the past, so you can reconnect with old coworkers (keep reading to find out why those connections are some of the most important you'll ever make on LinkedIn).
And what about people you DON'T know? Some users get really shy about who they reach out to on LinkedIn, as though it's somehow inappropriate to connect with somebody they don't personally know, or haven't worked with in the past.
Don't worry about that! While you probably shouldn't try to connect with every person in sight just for the sake of doing it, if you have a genuine reason for wanting to connect with someone, you can go for it. If you want to connect with someone you don't already know, include a message explaining who you are and why you're interested in connecting with them when you send your request – this makes it a lot less likely that they'll simply see a name they don't recognize and slam the "ignore" button!
What are LinkedIn recommendations? (And how do I get more?)
LinkedIn recommendations are a way for other people to sing your praises right on your profile page – and that can be invaluable when someone is deciding whether they want to hire you!
Not many people spend their free time writing unsolicited recommendations for their old colleagues and employees, though, so most of the time, if you want one, you should just come out and ask for it. Under your account's Privacy & Settings page, find the "Manage your recommendations" link:
From here, you can send recommendation requests to people you've connected with. Just type up a quick message asking them politely to recommend you – you may even write a recommendation for THEM while you're at it, just to make it likelier that they'll help you out.
If you don't like someone's recommendation, you don't have to make it publicly visible, but make sure that you only ask for them from people you worked with closely, and who you trust. That way, you can ensure that you get specific, credible, and sincere recommendations on your profile page. (Remember, though – the recommendations that you write for other people also appear on YOUR profile page, so YOU have to be sincere, too!)
What are LinkedIn endorsements? How do I get more people to endorse me?
LinkedIn endorsements are much easier to give and receive, particularly because they are so much less specific than recommendations – they're still incredibly valuable, though! On your profile page, you can choose which of your skills you want to highlight. Then, anyone who visits your page can see those skills that you listed and offer their endorsement of your ability with a single click:
Want to rack up more endorsements? There are two ways you can get more: First, try GIVING more endorsements. Check out profile pages for your former and current colleagues, and endorse their skills. When you do, LinkedIn alerts them, and prompts them to reciprocate by endorsing you in return (while they can choose not to, most people are willing to do it).
Second, ask people you're close with if they're willing to endorse you for a few skills. This is as simple as sending a quick message to a colleague and asking them to check out your profile page. It may feel a bit like cheating, but don't worry about that – it's no different than if you listed them as a reference on a job application!
What should I post on my LinkedIn?
Whether you're an independent entrepreneur who only has a personal profile or you maintain an active company page for your business, you should be posting status updates. This functions similarly to networks like Facebook, but with added privacy options – you can choose to share something publicly, or only with your connections.
While your updates ought to be professional in nature – no photos from your nephew's potty training, please – you should still be updating frequently. This is where most people get LinkedIn totally wrong. Instead of using their profile for posting updates, sparking discussions, and linking to blog posts, they allow it to just sort of sit there, stagnant. Your LinkedIn page shouldn't be static – it should be active! What's the point of making all those connections if you never post anything for them?

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Has Anyone Used a Rain "Kilt"?
Aug 6, 2013 at 10:20 am #1306232
After getting caught in a wicked rain/hail/thunderstorm last week, I'm thinking of how to protect my lower half in really bad weather. I never really liked rain pants (unless it's very cold, which it often isn't, here). I have heard of "rain kilts"/skirts with zippers to adjust for long strides, but I was wondering if anyone had used one, and what they thought… my concern is mostly about the way water might pour off the bottom of the kilt, into my boots. Pants, though hotter, fall over the boots, keeping the rain out. Any experience/opinions out there?Aug 6, 2013 at 11:08 am #2012949

@eagleriverdeeLocale: Eagle River, Alaska
I haven't, but if you're hiking on trail you might try just getting a drawstring garbage bag, slice the bottom so it's open and pull it up around your waist using the built in draw string as a belt to hold it up. If you like it, you could go more upscale and get a cuben one later but this would be a way to try the concept for a low investment.Aug 6, 2013 at 11:12 am #2012952
Thanks, Dena, you're definitely right! I'd still like to know if anyone has field-tested one…Aug 6, 2013 at 11:26 am #2012959

Shoes fill up, and drain, and dry.
I like a "rain kilt" because it keeps my butt and thighs dry(er), offers outstanding ventilation, and is easy/fast to get in and out of. I made mine big enough to not restrict my stride. It's just a silnylon straight-sided cylinder with a shock cord waist, long enough to drop below my knees.
(Temps are typically 60°+ pre-storm, dropping to ~50°)Aug 6, 2013 at 11:33 am #2012967
Thanks, Greg and Richard. I appreciate you taking the time to reply… It sounds like everything in life: a trade-off. Good ventilation, easy on/off, but wet shoes… Still thinking about it…maybe I should also consider rain "chaps".Aug 6, 2013 at 11:37 am #2012968

Yes. Its my go-to rain gear for my lower half. I use a zpacks cuben one. Its light. Its quick and easy to put on and off. Your legs don't sweat in it. It keeps you dry down to your knees. I have used it a lot in rain. I really think its hard to beat unless its going to be really cold. My best piece of so-simple-its-perfect equipment.
As to shoes, they are going to get wet anyway. I wouldn't fight that fight.Aug 6, 2013 at 11:47 am #2012974

I have the ULA rain skirt.
It is great for thunderstorm use. As others have said it keeps your core dry and warm. For the rockies it works. I would probably switch to rain pants if I was expecting constant heavy rain like pacNW winters.Aug 6, 2013 at 1:42 pm #2013003

Richard RenoBPL Member
@scubahhhLocale: White Mountains, mostly.
I'm confused.
Really, I don't understand what's wrong with getting wet as long as it doesn't also entail getting cold. For example, in the White Mountains where I hike I almost never wear any rain gear at all in the summer. Instead I hike in (wet) shorts or kilt and a (wet) t-shirt, and keep my dry stuff dry for when I need it for warmth, i.e., meal breaks and the end of the day.
Once in a while it's cold and wet enough to have to worry about staying dry in order to stay warm, but that's definitely the exception rather the the rule in my experience. In that case I'd wear a rain jacket and pants; but that hardly happens when it's warm enough to rain rather than snow.
Anyway, here's what I'm thinking: if it's cold enough to need rain pants I'd wear rain pants; if its too warm for rain pants I'd just go with shorts or a kilt and not worry about getting wet.
Am I some kind of idiot, or do others feel/act the same way?Aug 6, 2013 at 4:05 pm #2013043

"Am I some kind of idiot"
Well, Rick I guess you are.
Me too.
I don't do well in cold, but find that in cold wind-blown rain just keeping my thighs warm (with a kilt) is more than ample. If I am moving my lower legs and feet are just fine.
If the rain isn't that cold a poncho does fine to keep water out of my pack and my upper body dry.Aug 6, 2013 at 4:09 pm #2013046
Nathan WattsBPL Member
"Am I some kind of idiot, or do others feel/act the same way?"
I feel the same as you and have expressed that opinion before. I also hike primarily in the Whites.
Where I differ with you is that the threshold for wet+cold for me is definitely above the freezing/snow stage.
I use rain pants if I'm cold and always bring them if the forecast calls for rain, regardless of season. I typically don't bring them if the chance of rain is lowAug 6, 2013 at 4:19 pm #2013049
Folks – again thanks for your time & advice. I hike mostly (but not only) in Arizona/California, often at altitude, and weather is often "schizophrenic". Last week (when I got caught in the storm) it was in the 80s as I was hiking, then in the 70s…then suddenly it started raining and hailing, and temps went down to the 40s, and stayed there for long enough that we started shivering, even though we were moving. You know, crazy mountain stuff. So my inquiry is me — hopelessly and foolishly — trying to find something that might work in all these conditions.Aug 6, 2013 at 5:22 pm #2013077

Woo White's party.. :) It depends on the day i suppose. I usually don't carry rain pants but I have enough hobbies to pick my hiking days on pretty good weather days. Also the trail list i'm working on don't react well to water….
for longer trips a rain kilt could be nice because you can keep your shorts dry, let your lower legs get wet and not have to carry extra pants.Aug 6, 2013 at 6:25 pm #2013103

I have the knee length zpacks cuben fiber one. I like it because it keeps my shorts dry which is important when I know that there is no chance for them to dry out until I get to the next town; I hate putting on wet clothes in the morning. But at the same time, it allows plenty of air flow so you don't sweat under it. Doesn't work so well if I'm wearing pants for obvious reasons or when its cold and I want the extra insulation of rain pants.Aug 6, 2013 at 7:53 pm #2013144

All the time. I have used rain pants and other things but went to the trash bag rainskirt. I also use it as part of my sleep system if it is raining out and cover from my knees down with it. Total dirt bag and very cheap. Roll up you pants if you need to. But then again if I am wearing one it is below 60F and I am wearing my wool socks and Chacos so I don't worry about my feet getting wet.Aug 6, 2013 at 10:49 pm #2013192

@drusillaLocale: Wild Wild West
Valerie it sounds more like a layering problem to me. If you were shivering then you might not have had enough layers to rely on. The rain gear layer is only the outer part of your clothing system wheather or not you use a cuben rain skirt, plastic bag or rain pants it's all about what you are wearing from the skin out. And carrying an umbrella (lightweight of course) and using it to protect yourself from being soaked works great if the wind is not too bad. I use one down here cause the temps are usually pretty warm and rainwear is like a sauna, and if its really pouring I'll use the zpacks rain kilt and just let my lower legs and feet get wet, storms don't last that long here and my nylon pants dry out quickly. When I'm in the mountains above 8,000 I always have some sort of long underwear, silk or wool to get into in case it gets below 40 degrees, along with a warmer jacket or coat. I can always change if the weather gets better or after I warm up. I had a friend in the Mogollon Rim area that liked to hike in light smart wool leggings and running shorts. He looked kinda funny (the leggings were purple) but it was a pretty good system for him, if the leggings got wet he was still warm.Aug 6, 2013 at 11:09 pm #2013195

If rain pants are too warm, try wind pants. They will get wet but they will still keep you warm, just not as warm as rain pants. They are somewhat water resistant so when they do wet out your body heat will warm up the moisture without having fresh, cold water flowing through freely.Aug 7, 2013 at 12:09 am #2013205

"Am I some kind of idiot, or do others feel/act the same way?"
I don't think you're an idiot at all, Rick. My experience is that in the Appalachians, in the summertime, it is very rare that I have ever needed true rain protection, especially for my legs. It's generally warm enough that I can simply get wet and dry out later– either in camp or on the move when it stops raining.
In general, I find that the west coast ranges are more exposed and less humid, so there is a greater chance that even summer rainstorms can be accompanied by colder (and more sustained) winds and colder air temps. Just my experience, and it only applies to the summertime.
Sorry to the OP if we've hijacked your thread a little bit…
As far as rainskirts go, I've never tried one, but it seems like an easy enough thing that you could make out of a trash bag and try out for yourself. IMHO, just give it a whirl and see if you like it. If so, then make a permanent one for yourself… easy as that :)!Aug 7, 2013 at 8:15 am #2013235

I like rain skirts, or sometimes a poncho which is sort of like a short-sleeved rain jacket plus pack cover plus rain skirt all rolled into one unit (that can also serve as a somewhat minimal shelter …).
I've layered a very light wind skirt with rain chaps a time or two, because a wind skirt can be frustrating to use when there's significant wind. The wind sort of blows the skirt open and up; you can try to connect the bottom of the skirt wrap (depending on which skirt you have) but this can be a PITA and/or make it harder to walk if you snug it up enough against the wind.
So if it's cold and windy, my preference is rain chaps or no lower body rain cover. Still, on long trips when I've had the wind skirt, I still put it on when it's cold + wet + windy. So long as you accept that it's going to flap open some, it does help.
In less windy conditions it's great — the concept is excellent IMO. Keep the upper parts of the legs warm and you've got most of the value IMO of rain pants, while allowing for ventilation with a piece of gear that's much easier & faster to put on and take off.
I've used the Packa, which hangs pretty long and so has some rain skirt effect (rain mini-skirt built in? :-)). Overall now I prefer the flexibility of a very light rain jacket plus one or all of Zpacks cuben pack cover and rain skirt if I want that level of coverage.Aug 7, 2013 at 8:38 am #2013243

I wear the zpack kilt and like it. It keeps my butt and thighs dry for minimal wieght. I find myself using it more as protection from a wet ground or dusty ground. I carry it in an outer pocket and whenever I stop I throw it on the ground to sit on. I like to take my shoes and socks off and it gives me a nice dry/clean surface.Aug 8, 2013 at 12:13 am #2013514

This summer i had to improvise. I had an oversized piece of tyvek with me, so i cut a strip off that would be big enough to wrap around my waist and reach down to about ankle length. Then i cut square loop holes along the top edge. EnLightened equipment sent me some large elastic band webbing with my quilt, and weaving one of the bands through the top holes allowed me to fasten the tyvek as an improvised kilt. Under my rain jacket it was enough to keep me dry from the thighs up. It was not a perfect solution, but i liked it enough that i will look for a kilt for next season.

I use my polycryo ground cloth. Wrap around twice and knot it at my waste.
I combine with a short rain cape for my top and add windpants depending on the chill factor.
Regarding: "I don't get it?",
Hypothermia is a good reason to wear a rain kilt. It can really reduce heat loss in gusty rain.Aug 8, 2013 at 6:47 am #2013535

1892 Tasting Notes
The dry tea smells lemony – an interesting combination of fresh lemon juice and sweet lemon candy. The green rooibos base was a good choice for this blend IMO as it already has a clean slightly citrus flavour that enhances the lemoniness. It's maybe a little bit dull hot, but I bet it would be great iced – it's next on my list when I make up a jug.
Smooth, soothing chamomile is definitely the focus of this blend but there are also some sweet vanilla notes that mix well with the apple/herbal flavours of the chamomile. There's also a licorice note but it's nice and subtle and I can smell it in the dry tea bag more than I can taste it in the brewed tea. This tea also seems to work great for relaxing me after a long day at work, which is certainly appreciated!
I love the smell of this tea, it's raspberry but more of a confectionary flavoured with raspberries than the fruit itself. That sounds like it should come across as being artifical but it doesn't for some reason – at least to me. The green oolong gave the blend a nice, sweet base that complimented the fruit flavour nicely. The tea is very smooth with a creamy vanilla note that together with the raspberry makes me think of raspberry truffles or something. Very yummy.
I love the fruity scent of this tea and it's interesting to look at too, with white, green and brown leaves of varying shades. The flavours are quite a mish-mash though not an unpleasant one. There's the nutty notes from the white teas, vegetal notes from the green teas, and toasty notes from the Formosa oolong. The fruity apricot notes are there too although I wish the tea was a bit sweeter, as I think that would accent the fruit flavours a bit better. Maybe if the blend had just a green oolong base maybe?
I must have received this tea in a trade as I've never set foot inside a Teavana store (their reputation proceeds them). That said, this was quite a nice flowering tea that had a nice strawberry scent and looked quite attractive when it opened in the water – though it was maybe not as showy as some flowering teas I've seen. The white tea flavours were delicate and slightly nutty and slightly vegetable with the fruity strawberry notes woven throughout. It also re-steeped fairly well too and never got bitter or astringent no matter how long I kept the blossom in the tea.
Yay, finally a pumpkin tea that tastes like pumpkin – which seems to be a difficult flavour to recreate as plenty of good tea blenders have tried and this is one of the only ones that in my opinion to have done it sucessfully. But there's more to this tea than just pumpkin, the rest of the tea is smooth, slightly sweet and nicely spiced. The spices aren't being used to cover up a harsh base or the lack of pumpkin flavour – they're just a nice accompaniment. All around a tasty treat.
This tea smelled like a ripe, juicy pear as it was brewing and I was eagerly anticipating that first sip. Too bad the intial impression was that the tea tasted very tart and nothing like the scent at all. It tasted like it had a ton of hibiscus in it, but when I looked at the ingredient list there's nothing on it that should be causing such the tartness. 0_o
After that first burst of sourness faded I could taste some actual pear flavour, but it was subtle and left behind more tartness in my mouth after I swallowed it. I'll try icing the rest of this cup to see if that improves the taste at all. Stay tunned until tomorrow.
This blend reminds me a great deal of Adagio's chocolate chip black tea. It's got a great cocoa flavour that goes well with the slightly bitter Ceylon base Adagio uses. I'm not getting much caramel though which is a bit of a disapointment. I'll try adding milk or sweetener to see if that'll bring out the caramel at all.

|Welcome to Saab92x.com!
I want to say thanks to everybody here at Saab92x.com. This site has been a valuable resource and a wonderful community. Over the past 11 years and 178000 miles I had some great times living on both coasts an travelling between them.
As for the circumstances of her demise, I was stopped at a red light behind about 7 or 8 cars for a couple of seconds when I glanced in the rear-view and saw an Acura coming up fast. I just had time to lean back and brace before she hit me going at least 30mph. She didn't even brake and said the first thing she saw was her airbag going off. Texting? What do you think?
Those 2 guys in the picture were in the Mercedes CLA I rolled into after being hit. they had minor scratches on their bumper cover and I had no damage to the front of my car that was discernible over 11 years of rock chips and parallel parking.
Insurance paid out about $5,000.00 which I put down on a new VW Golf.

Sounds like what happened to me, except I was on the freeway when traffic stopped. Texting? Maybe not texting, but I'd say >99% chance it was *something* on a smart phone. Checking in on Facebook from the back of a 9-2x?
That sucks. Sorry for your loss. Don't be a stranger...
Sorry for your loss. Glad you are ok. I hope you enjoy your new ride.
Ugh, this is painful to look at. Sounds like it had a good long life!
Sorry for your loss, but glad you're safe! Hope the Golf treats you as well as the Saabaru did.
RIP that beautiful 9-2x. Some fuckin' people....

All while sitting on our driveway.

HammerFall premiere first single "The Sacred Vow" off new album/
Swedish power metallers HammerFall have been at it for nearly two decades. Due out November 11, Built to Last will be HammerFall's tenth full-length album. "The Sacred Vow" is the first single from that new album, proving that the band hasn't slowed down since 2014's (r)Evolution.
Galloping riffs and Joacim Cans' soaring vocals, energetic as ever, are accompanied by an animated lyric video.
HammerFall had this to say about "The Sacred Vow:" "Choosing a track for this was not easy, as we had several suitable songs. But 'The Sacred Vow' is a pretty classic HammerFall tune and very representative of the album as a whole: speed, power, energy and with a catchy chorus that oozes of heavy metal spirit."
Once you jam the new song, you can preorder Built to Last from Napalm Records here.

Toward the end of the clinic the range-cart was on the driving range picking up golf balls when both players decided it would be good to try and hit the picker, just like any golfer has done at their local range anywhere across the country.It's nice to see some pros having fun playing golf. Sometimes it seems like no fun at all.

I always tried evasive maneuvering when I was a driving range ball picker upper. and I always dedicate a couple balls to hit at the range cart. But I'm disappointed that two pros could only score one hit.

Midway (through) To the Lighthouse it suddenly struck me how extremely well Woolf present us for the complexity of peoples inner life. Of corse we all know her exceptional contribution to the stream of consciousness technique.
