Jan 10, 2013 at 8:09 am #1297857
I popped one flexible water bottle in the field, and that was all it took to make me carry a classic 48oz plastic Nalgene as a primary bottle. Where have you sacrificed a few ounces for comfort or durability?
How do you protect the most fragile materials in the field? Any generally good practices?Jan 10, 2013 at 8:18 am #1942479

I've gone from head lamp to the just the photon back to head lamp with a lantern attachment. It wasn't a durability issue as much as the safety of having the brighter light and the convenience of the warm glow of a 'lantern' when just chilling at night. It was worth a few ounces to me.Jan 10, 2013 at 8:21 am #1942480

I have done that with my pack(s) because I often bushwack.
Interesting that a headlamp was mentioned. I have a Petzl e-lite that has been more than sufficient except on my last two trips where I had to hike in the dark for a bit. Back to my Princeton Tec EOS I go.Jan 10, 2013 at 8:31 am #1942485
I actually did the same re: Headlamp. I had a lightweight, cheap little Princeton Tec, and when that failed, I went straight to the highly applauded Petzl Tikka Plus 2.
I've hiked in the dark before. I don't know why headlamps always feel like a necessity to me. Perhaps it's because I use them at night while biking, or perhaps it's because of the chance of needing to do field surgery… but headlamps are a security blanket for me.
Dave Ure, what kind of backpack do you use?Jan 10, 2013 at 8:35 am #1942487

Water bottles are thinner and I worry they might break
Soda or juice bottles are a little thicker. I have never had a failure. After a year or so, it seems like they get a little brittle so I replace them. I am fairly careful with my gear. Set it on the ground rather than dropping : )
I have used Platypus bags for years and never had a failure. Again, after a while they start getting brittle and yellow so I replace. Also, they start delaminating at the edges. But plenty of notice so I have time to replace before failure.Jan 10, 2013 at 8:38 am #1942489

I always, no matter the condition (deep snow exempted) carry MSR Groundhogs. They can be pounded into frozen ground, gravel-packed dirt, and wedged into cracks in rocks without worry. They are heavier than thin wire stakes, but hold very well and can be abused*. I don't want to wake up at 3 am because a stake came loose.
*The one time I broke a Groundhog stake was when it was about 15*F and I was trying to remove it from frozen ground. I hit the head of the stake with a rock at a sharp angle. I've learned not to do that and haven't broken one since.Jan 10, 2013 at 8:47 am #1942493

I'll always carry a heavier knife. I tried some of the smaller (under 1 oz) ones, but found them feeling too small and fragile. So, I keep coming back to my Bark River one at 6 ounces.

Max – regarding lights. I have done some night hikes recently and used the Klarus XT11 flashlight clipped to my belt. Sweet lord, it was like hiking with the sun next to me (600 lumens and a nice medium wide throw).Jan 10, 2013 at 8:50 am #1942495
Thanks Dave. I like that Hyperlight. It has proven durable? Not sure what to think about Cuben Fiber, as I've never tried it.

I always laugh at myself when I end up in those scenarios… This past summer I biked 1500 miles across the northeastern US, and the #1 joke between my travel mates and I was how my ultralight setup prevented me from carrying a can of beans or a loaf of bread.

Desert hiking?
Water vessels. Drop a platy out here, you're screwed. I strap a durable bottle to my pack now and leave one platy style vessel in my pack for camp or filled up for dry stretches.
Sleeping pads.
Foam or 10D minimum for inflatable pads. Usually both.
I'm not keen on carving twigs to function as tarp stakes. MSR groundhogs are a staple. Our soil is either sand or cement.Jan 10, 2013 at 10:00 am #1942532
Eugene, you spoke my mind. Although, I will argue that the sleeping pad, for me, depends on the shelter. I'm about to switch from a Thermarest NeoAir to a Thermarest X-lite because my hammock protects them so well, durability isn't an issue.
I should also say that i am dying to hike around Arizona/New Mexico. Someday!Jan 10, 2013 at 10:44 am #1942546

@dandydanLocale: Cascadia
It's perhaps human nature to over react and ping pong back and forth between gossamer and bombproof, when neither is usually ideal. The goal should normally be "sufficient durability" for the task at hand, which will rarely fall at either extreme. Understand the conditions, risks, tolerance to gear damage, goals and intended hiking style, and then choose the piece of gear that strikes the best balance.
So when the risks are higher, the conditions are more challenging or ones attitude changes (ie. less of a desire to baby gear) then more durable gear may be the right choice. I've bounced around on the durability continuum with many different pieces of gear and a few areas I've would up preferring more durability than I initially expected (hiking pants), while in others I've realized very little is required (ie. sleeping bag shell fabrics).
Jumping around on this continuum is part of process of refining a gear set. Larger jumps are less likely to land you in the sweet spot, but big shifts do teach a great deal. So a few big jumps are okay at first (ie. 1000D climbing backpack to a 0.75oz cuben backpack or vice versa) but eventually you'll likely settle down in the sweet zone and begin making smaller refinements as you approach your ideal.Jan 10, 2013 at 11:00 am #1942551
eric chanBPL Member
how much moolah do ya have and how much/hard do you use your gear ….
thats a question only you can answer …
i tried an UL dead bird pack once … blew it out in a month or two …
i use softshells rather than windshirts on climbs … weights twice as much but they can take abuse instead of getting little pinholes everytime i go up a route
i use nalgenes in the winter so i can heat em up and they are more resistant to freezing
as someone said …. find the equipment that does what you need …. dont go stupid light ;)Jan 10, 2013 at 11:28 am #1942563

I haven tried some very minimalist shoes for backpacking in. After a few days my feet would get sore, maybe I have whimpy feet? But I've switched to some shoes with more cushion (read =more weight) and my feet have thanked me ever since. (I went from a pair of New Balance MT101 shoes about 18oz for the pair to some La Sportiva Raptor shoes that about 34oz for the pair)Jan 10, 2013 at 11:32 am #1942564

@acrosomeLocale: Back in the Front Range
I've gone back and forth on the knife thing. I found myself in truly miserable conditions once- near freezing, wet snow, sleet, hail- and would have really appreciated a fire, but the tiny knife on my Leatherman Squirt simply wasn't up to the task of procuring dry wood (I would have had to shave the wet wood off of sizeable branches just to get to the dry core). So I started carrying a small fixed-blade knife, but then never had another situation where it would have mattered. Hmm.
Also, FWIW the only redundant piece of gear I carry is an emergency fire-starter. Worst comes to worst, if I have a knife and a fire I'm probably ok, so they are the only things I carry on my person rather than in the pack. Since it is for emergencies I try to keep the firestarter as bombproof as possible- a firesteel or even better one of those magnesium blocks.
I don't know if this counts, but I've never used a silnylon pack because they simply sound like they wouldn't stand up to the abuse that I typically inflict on my packs. I've used some pretty light gridstop, though. MLD packs are my standard, but I've looked long and hard at the GG packs.Jan 10, 2013 at 11:41 am #1942567
James, I am very similar. I use hiking boots because the durability to protect my feet is important to me. I've got a bad right foot, and keeping those puppies behind Vibram soles, rock plates, and abrasion-resistant uppers is my perogative. I definitely pay for it in weight.Jan 10, 2013 at 12:01 pm #1942573
James MarcoBPL Member
@jamesdmarcoLocale: Finger Lakes
Durability of a piece of gear ALWAYS wins over light weight. If something does not meet your expectations for a piece of gear, then it needs to be changed. Especially if it is not durable enough to be reliable in the field. If it breaks in the field, then you are carrying dead weight, at a minimum. You could be inconvienced or it might put you at risk.
Many years ago, about 10-15, I kept believing that light weight was the clear winner. On one trip I destroyed my alcohol stove with an arm load of wood that bounced on top of it. Even cutting away the bent portions did not work that well. I ran out of fuel with two days of pasta, rice, oatmeal and bisquik in my pack in the High Peaks (no fires.) Supper was no fun and breakfast was not much better.
Water jugs are about the same. I had a older platypus leak. I carry one for those times I need water for a long stretch, but otherwise, I do not use them. A soda bottle works as well.
Anyway, these are a couple examples of durability problems. I rarely use my little stoves anymore, too fragile. I bring the old SVEA. No pump and only one seal. A very durable and reliable little puppy. Fuel is often one or two 8oz orange juice bottles. Yeah, I pay in the extra ounce for the security of having some fuel. Two 500ml bottles are safer than a single one 1L bottle. I fell on my ti pot and cracked it…went back to aluminum. Aluminum dents easier, but a similar fall would have just crushed it, not cracked it (I stuff it with my firmly rolled rain jacket rather than trust it, though.) Ever get lost going to the bathroom at night? I use a hair tie looped to my wrist, under my sleeve, at night. I bring two lights, a little waterproof Impulse and an e-Light. One or the other will always work. A small threaded needle with about 3-4 yards of thread will patch most clothing, tarp, bag and pack. 3-5yd of duct tape will handle other general field repairs. Other tricks I have picked up over 35-40 years or so. Mostly clothing lasts pretty well. It is fairly durable. I have worn out a couple sets of rain wear. But I don't worry to much if "I" get wet. I need a dry place to bed down, though. My fishing rod is usually rubber banded together, keeps the tip from breaking.Jan 10, 2013 at 12:10 pm #1942581

Going on a weekend trip into the hills I am willing to play the durability game 'with most items' but if it affects my safety I back down. Water carrying capabilities is no joke especially going into the hills where pools of water are less likely.Jan 10, 2013 at 12:11 pm #1942582

Last July, I was on a 5-day 50-mile trek in the Wind Rivers with some boy scouts. My 5.5oz umbrella kept blowing out on me (turning inside out). Now I'm using the 8oz Golite umbrella. It doesn't fold small but it straps OK to the side of my Murmer. It has never turned inside out on me in high winds.
What's funny is, 90% of the time I reach for my Chrome Dome, Mother Nature turns away her ugly head and shows her good side. It's quite the magic wand.

What do you guys use to carry water? Anyone else on the bumper-sticker-covered Nalgene bottle train? ;)
I carry a 2L Platypus as backup, and when I thru-hike, I'll have one more ~1L one for dirty water pre-filtering.Jan 10, 2013 at 12:15 pm #1942584

I don't like wearing mesh shoes. I am a minimalist shoes guy and I love the leather vivobarefoot shoes. The neo trails come in a tough, synthetic leather like material as well. I pay for this in dry time and weight, but having tough shoes is important to me. I don't want a thorn stabbing it's way into my skin through the mesh part of a shoe.Jan 10, 2013 at 12:20 pm #1942587

"What do you guys use to carry water? Anyone else on the bumper-sticker-covered Nalgene bottle train? ;)"
I use the 1.5L plastic water bottles. They easily last a few weekend trips since you do not squash them down as you are using the fluid out of it so it doesnt 'wear'. In fact (touch wood) I have never had one go on me. They are only 35g (just overn an ounce) in weight and easily stored.Jan 10, 2013 at 3:46 pm #1942640

IMO a Nalgene is total overkill. I use Gatoraide bottles and they seem to last forever. I had one for a year and it worked fine. Garoraide bottles are super tough and less than a third of the weight of a Nalgene.

Deformation limits of projective manifolds: Hodge numbers and strongly Gauduchon metrics

This paper is intended to start a series of works aimed at proving that if in a (smooth) complex analytic family of compact complex manifolds all the fibres, except one, are supposed to be projective, then the remaining (limit) fibre must be Moishezon. A new method of attack, whose starting point originates in Demailly's work, is introduced. While we hope to be able to address the general case in the near future, two important special cases are established here: the one where the Hodge numbers h0,1 of the fibres are supposed to be locally constant and the one where the limit fibre is assumed to be a strongly Gauduchon manifold. The latter is a rather weak metric assumption giving rise to a new, rather general, class of compact complex manifolds that we hereby introduce and whose relevance to this type of problems we underscore.

We make our own lye soap, but sometimes we run low without realizing it so i bought some of these as a fail-safe. They smell so good, the whole house smells like this soap when it's used! :-)

The soap smells woody and spicy, and leaves a clean, pleasant scent. It almost smells like being inside a spice shop. Leaves my skin clean but also healthy looking.

Lovely soap
Bought this cause i have always read wonderful things about Sandalwood.
The price was great.The size of the soap is small but it is a wonderful soap with a lovely scent.I used it in the shower to wash my whole body including face.It did not dry out my face at all.I found that it calms my skin and made it clean and clear.I intend to purchase this soap again.Would love to get the Lavender scented one,as well as another one of this Sandalwood soap...Right now the lavender one is sold out.I will get it ..when it is available and in stock for purchase.
- Nicole
Amazing Scent
Love this Ayurvedic soap. The sandalwood is heavenly. I have used it as a facial and body soap. Works great as a body soap, but I found that it irritated my face. It leaves my hands feeling soft and nicely fragranced.
- Kimberly
Favorite Soap
This is my favorite soap ever, and I have tried so many! The scent is heavenly. People compliment me all the time, because if you use a lot of lather the smell will delicately linger. The bar lasts a fair time, not forever but it doesn't melt away rapidly like some natural soaps. I put it under running water in my bath and it smells up the whole tub. I use it to wash my children's hair and sometimes my own- which says a lot because I have thick, dry hair about to my waist and any other soap I ever washed it wish left it so squeaky clean it was a ratty mess. This for some reason doesn't have that effect but I don't over do it, a little goes a long way I figure. It even leaves my toddler's hair silky soft (no conditioner after). Anyway, I love this and give it as a gift often and everyone loves it. you can even grate it (try a food processor) and mix it into epsom salts for a very nice and unique gift.
- Ebie
Excellent Soap
Great soap at nice price. Ayurvedic and healthy.
- Richard
Excellent Soap
Great soap at a nice price.
- Richard
Home Staple
I keep this on the sink and use it regularly. It doesn't dry my skin or leave any odd smells behind like other soaps do. I love that it supports charity and thanks to Thrive, it's super affordable so i keep a couple bars in the closet at all times.
- Peter D.W.
Soft skin
This soap is affordable and works great. I use it daily and it leaves my skin soft and moisturized naturally. I feel clean and fresh after using it and the scent isn't strong so I can follow my normal after-shower routine.

About Texas Huntingchat
|Frequently Asked Questions. If you know of anything else that should be addressed on this page please Contact Us.
|[-] Why should I register?
By registering with the forum, you will be able to edit your member profile and preferences. You will get the most out of your time here if you change your profile and preferences to suit your individual tastes. There are many options in your profile to make your experience here more enjoyable, so please take a few moments to try the various settings. Also, only users that are registered and logged in can take advantage of the "New Posts" feature upon each visit. Once you've registered and logged in, click "Edit Profile" or "Edit Preference" in the Forum Navigation island to edit your settings.
[-] Why do you ask for two email addresses?
The Email Address field is used for email notifications, Watch Lists and to email your password. The Public Email Address field is what other users see when they view your profile. We realize that you may not want everyone to know your real email address, but we need to know it in case you want to watch certain content or if you want to have replies emailed to you. For this reason you can give us your real email address in the Email Address field and only the Administrators of the board will see it. You can provide a different email address for the general public using the Public Email Address. Some people like to put in something like email@example.com. This way people can still figure out what your real email address is, but spamming agents can't just parse through the page and obtain your email address to spam you.
[-] Does my browser have to be set to accept cookies?
Yes. Cookies are used to remember your login information as well as what posts you have read during your current session. Without accepting cookies some functions won't work properly.
[-] How do I log in?
If you have registered with these forums, you must log in to take advantage of the personalization of settings. To log in, look in the upper right-hand corner of your screen for the "Log In" link. This link will take you to a page where you can enter your Username (email address) and Password. Keep in mind that the password is always case-sensitive. This means that the software considers "S" and "s" to be different characters.
Once you have entered your Username (email address) and Password, you'll be brought to your Starting View. (You can change the page used for your Default Starting View by clicking "Edit Preferences" in the Forum Navigation island.) If you have any Private Messages waiting for you, you'll see a flashing envelope on the My Messages island. (Note that this only applies if the Private Messaging feature has been enabled by the Administrators of the board.)
[-] Help! I'm having trouble logging in!
This checklist may help you successfully log in:
1) Make sure you are entering your password correctly. Passwords are case-sensitive.
[-] What is the title that appears beneath my Display Name in posts?
It's a system-generated User Title to give ranking to your postcount. You will progress through the various levels according to the cumulative number of posts you have made.
[-] What are these titles about?
Everyone has a title within the forum. You will notice the title below the Display Name in each post. Some titles are automatically assigned based on the number of posts a user has made, and some titles are assigned by the forum owner to denote official representatives of the company or other VIPs in the forums.

[-] I forgot my password!
If you have forgotten your password, don't worry! You can very easily have a temporary password emailed to you. Go to the Log In page and click "Have you forgotten your login information?". Enter your real email address into the Email Address field and a temporary password will be emailed to the email address used for the account setup.
This process is safe because the password is only emailed to the original owner of the account. There is no way to steal the password by using this feature.
[-] How do I change my password?
You may change your password any time. On the Forum Navigation island, click "Edit Profile". Edit the Password and Verify Password fields and then click "Submit" to save the information. (Keep in mind that passwords are case-sensitive.)
[-] How do I add an image to my message?
In order to add an image to your message or your signature, you must have the image already available on a web server and reachable by a URL. This can be an image on your own personal web page, for example. To place an image within a message, simply use the following Markup Tag:
For example, if you have an image called cateye.gif and its available from your own website at http://www.mywebsite.com/pics, then you would use the following image markup:
You can do the same for your signature. Click the My Home option found on any page. Then, under the Main Configuration heading, click on "Personal Information, email, password…". Look for the Signature box, and enter your desired information, including any images/markup as above.
Note: To keep the forums loading quickly for everyone, it is recommended that you do not exceed 35k for your image size.
[-] Is there a limit to the size of an image I can have in my signature?
We ask that you keep your images relatively small. As a rule, please do not exceed 600 x 125 pixels and/or 35k for a signature image. This will ensure that the forums load quickly for all users.
[-] What are the rules of conduct for the forum?
Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, it is impossible for us to review all messages or confirm the validity of information posted. We do not actively monitor the contents of every posted message and are not responsible for any individual message. The messages express the views of the authors, not necessarily the views of the Texas Hunting Forum (THC) or any entity associated with the THC. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit messages immediately. You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use the THC to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violates any law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material (without permission) unless the copyright is owned by you or the THC. We at the THC reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the THC and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s). We at the THC also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you. Please also note that chain letters and pyramid schemes are inappropriate on the THC. You must click on the "I Agree" box to register.Also, please review our guidelines and rules.
[-] How do I edit my display preferences?
Yes, you'll be missing a trick if you fail to take advantage of the versatility offered. There are many aspects of how the Forums are displayed that may be customized. On the Forum Navigation island, click "Edit Preferences".
You can choose the stylesheet in which you wish to view the forums, how many posts are displayed on each page, whether or not you want to view users' pictures alongside their posts, and much more. Once saved, these become your default settings. You may edit these preferences again at anytime.
[-] Why is a post's subject so important?
The first post of a given topic establishes the subject by which all subsequent replies will be known. Once there's been a reply, the topic subject cannot be subsequently changed. It's therefore important to get the subject right from the outset. Make it as descriptive and as specific as possible. For example, "LCD burn-in questions", is much better than something completely generic, such as "Newbie needs help!". Not only is it more likely to elicit a response, but it'll also make it much easier for all posts in the topic to be subsequently located.
[-] How do I find posts that may already have the answer to the question I have?
One of the key benefits of the discussion board format is that it enables commonly asked questions to be answered once, for the benefit of all. Before posting your question, it is always worth checking to see if it has already been asked – and answered! You can do this via the Search island. Using the Search island, you can perform a quick keyword search, or click on the "Advanced" button to search by more specific criteria. Various options are available, both for how the search term is specified and for controlling how many forums you want to search. This is where the specificity of topic subjects is important, making it much easier to locate precisely what it is you're after from a list of search results.
[-] What does the flashing envelope icon on the My Messages link in the Navigation Island indicate?
It means that you have unread Private Messages. When you hover over this image it should display how many unread Private Messages that you have.
[-] Can I send a Private Topic to more than one person?
On the "New Private Topic" screen, you can type in a new user then press "add" or you can select them from the "My Buddies" dropdown. You can add up to the forum maximum of users (this limit will show on the "New Private Topic" screen) to the Private Topic.
[-] I'm having problems getting the URL tags to work.
If the tags are showing up in your text or you're getting a link, but it's to "http:///", you're including some unwanted spaces in the syntax. Avoid any intervening spaces, and everything will work fine.
[-] What if I make a mistake in my post?
Users can edit their own posts up to minutes after they are made. Where the change is substantial, it is courteous mark the post as edited so as to alert readers to the changed content. For cosmetic changes, it's better not to do so.
[-] What if I post in the wrong forum?
Let the forum Administrator or Moderator know – he/she will be able to move it for you.
[-] Can I use HTML in my posts?
There are 2 ways that this can be configured on a per-forum basis. If HTML is On then you will see HTML is On and you can use normal HTML in your posts. If UBBCode is on you will see UBBCode is On.
[-] What UBBCode can I use in my posts?
The following tags are available for your use if UBBCode is enabled:
Text Formatting
Code Tags & Highlighting
Text and Image Alignment
[-] How do I put a poll in my post?
Putting a poll in your post is simple.
If polls are enabled, start by creating a new post in a forum. Below the body of your post, you will see a text box that allows you to specify how many polls you want to have in your post and the system will guide you through the rest.
[-] How do I change the number of posts displayed on a page?
You can change the number of posts displayed on each page by editing your display preferences. You can set this to anything between 1 and 99 posts per page. By default, this is set to 25 posts per page.
[-] What's the difference between Reply and Quick Reply?
Quick Reply is made as a "Quick Response" block, so you can make a response to a post (or thread) before you forget or as you read them. Quick Reply is meant as a "no thrills" response box, as it's just there for a fast/non-formatted response.
Reply however brings you to a "Full Response" page that allows for heavy posting.
You can also click the "Full Reply" button from the Quick Reply box which will forward you (and all of your Quick Reply text) to the Full Reply page.
[-] What's the difference between Quote and Quick Quote?
Quote will quote the users text to the Full Reply page. Quick Quote will quote the users text to the Quick Reply box below the thread.
[-] How do I edit my profile?
Click the "My Profile" link from the "My Stuff" dropdown on the Forum Navigation island.

COMMAND & CONQUER GENERALS, a subset of the popular COMMAND & CONQUER real time strategy games now under the banner of EA Games, refined the series even more, and now the Zero Hour Expansion Pack refines GENERALS, perfecting the series' best while adding new elements. The GENERALS series puts players in command of one of three world powers: the US, China, or the GLA terrorist group. Zero Hour introduces nine subfactions, units under one of the three powers, including the US air force and the Chinese infantry. Each has its own unique leader and its own playing style. Some subfactions may not be able to build every unit available to its umbrella faction but may have access to specialized technology that no other group has. In the new Generals Challenge mode, a player's subfaction is pitted against the other eight on their home territory. The game also includes five new missions for each of the three superpowers. Each faction has three new units available, plus a new building, new upgrades, and new general powers. These new units include the US microwave tank, the Chinese Helix helicopter, and the GLA combat cycle, while new buildings include the US firebase, the Chinese internet center, and the GLA can now construct fake installations to confuse its enemies. This expansion pack for COMMAND & CONQUER GENERALS includes everything a good expansion pack should have. Players should waste no time in picking up COMMAND & CONQUER GENERALS: Zero Hour Expansion Pack.

Why would i need infinite oxygen though?
Re: End the cheating
I had a match on The Dam about an hour or so ago with my buddy. Right at the very start of the match he tells me "we've got a guy with armor rushing us". At first I thought he was joking, but no. The freaking guy had armor and started bombarding us from the very get go. How the **bleep** does a guy have armor at the very start of the match? Let alone keep it for 90% of the match? I was using my sniper class and I just kept riling up 'cause everytime I would try to go for a headshot, all I could see was armor and a festival of bombs coming our way.
I'll clarify that this has been the first time that I've seen this sort of **bleep** get pulled, but it's awfully similar so when I see people having fully maxed out weapons at the very beginning of the game.
Re: End the cheating[ Edited ]
ive come across few immortals. and it wasnt the usual lag thing - downed twice, still getting up. these were able to take 4 bursts and 6 diablo bullets without being interrupted while unlocking the box for example.
also, multiple instances of people running with shotties/military snipers almost from the start of the match and hardly ever run out of ammo. but thats prolly due to the ammo buying glitch someone mentioned here.
the most ridiculous ive seen tho was some guy running around and tossing molotovs all the time, often under his feet.
Re: End the cheating
There is a cheat freely available if you know where to look and have a jailbroken ps3.
If you chose not to accept this is either that you are very ignorant and niave, or you are using the cheat yourself.
There is nothing posted informing people how to do this cheat so therefore is NOT against forum rules, I am mearly publically offering ND to keep them updated with the latest version of the hacked files needed.
I will not provide the files to anyone other than ND staff nor tell anyone what to do with the files but I have the file in my possession.
The infinite oxygen is actually infinite listen mode.
Variations on the cheat are easy to do in an editor if you know what values to change and where to place the file on your ps3 hard drive.
Many of the cheaters use sub accounts, easily spotted by their lack of level/trophies, but banning peoples accounts is pointless as they can just change the PS3 console ID.

It's Great of you to want to keep ND up to date with developments in TLOU hacking scene, but ND are most likely well aware of how and where these hacks are created, the problem for them is how to contain it. By investigating and getting banks to block the online banking facilities connected to the websites that sell modding programs and hack files, ND would go a lot further in keeping these MP cheaters to a minimum.
Re: End the cheating
There is also another hack pack file that includes infinite Loadout points. Due to the nature of this game, it can be less noticeable than the outrageous assault rifle hacks.

The Viscotek TDAmax is a complete stand-alone, research grade, temperature controlled, multi-detector GPC/SEC system suitable for the molecular weight and molecular size determination of proteins, natural and synthetic polymers, copolymers and other macromolecules.
How it works
The TDAmax consists of three components – the GPCmax integrated solvent and sample delivery module, the TDA 305 Triple Detector Array, and the OmniSEC software. The TDA 305 incorporates RI and, Light Scattering detectors, as well as a viscometer and optional UV detector. Both the integrated detectors and the chromatography columns are fully temperature controlled in an oven to ensure optimum detector stability. In addition, the detectors are connected in series to ensure maximum sensitivity.
The GPCmax contains an integrated pump, autosampler and degasser. Mobile phase, stored in solvent bottles placed on top of the instrument, enters the dual piston pump after passing through the eluent sensor. This will automatically stop the flow if the solvent is exhausted mid-run. An inline degasser then removes dissolved gases from the mobile phase, which improves the baseline on any of the detectors that may be connected. The pump is compatible with any solvent, even acidic buffers.
The autosampler inside the GPCmax can hold up to 120 vials, which can either be heated, or cooled to prevent degradation of the samples over time. The Autosampler provides the system with variable, reliable, accurate and reproducible injection volumes, enabling comprehensive macromolecular characterizations to be made with confidence.
Mobile phase (and sample) enters the TDA and passes through the GPC/SEC chromatography columns. The columns are maintained at the same temperature as the detectors. After eluting from the column, the dissolved polymer molecules, now separated by size, pass through the UV detector (if present), followed by the light scattering and RI detectors. Finally, the mobile phase passes through the viscometer before going to waste.
The GPCmax is a solvent and sample delivery module exclusively for GPC/SEC applications. It provides the reliable and stable chromatographic foundation for the Viscotek advanced detection systems.
Research grade temperature controlled GPC/SEC detector module to measure sample concentration, molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity. The TDA is ideal for characterizing synthetic and natural polymers and proteins.
Accurate measurement of the polymer or protein concentration profile is essential to good molecular weight or structure data. The high-stability Viscotek UV detector is ideally suited for multi-detection GPC/SEC.
OmniSEC software is an integrated solution for the advanced analysis of proteins and polymers by GPC/SEC, and is at the heart of all Viscotek systems and detectors. Selectable "protein" or "polymer" user interfaces with simplified work flows improve productivity and help you to maximize the information and efficiency of your experiments. Simply load your samples and the software controls all the sequencing, enabling truly automatic unattended operation.
A wide range of columns for analytical GPC/SEC of synthetic and natural polymers and proteins.
Malvern offers a wide range of molecular weight standards for GPC/SEC for conventional and universal calibration as well as light scattering.
Protect your investment and ensure optimized performance at all times with Malvern's service plans.
When you purchase a Malvern product we understand that this is just the first stage of a working relationship that will last for the lifetime of the instrument. Depending on your needs, Malvern will provide the support for your business.

Communication is the most essential part of our living as it helps in sharing thoughts and emotions and for this purpose the invention of mobile phone has been of great worth. Due to advancement in technology there is a tremendous change in the lifestyle of people that has led to rapid increase in the use of mobile phones which has also led to the increase in number of mobile plans offered by the different mobile service providers. No one could have imagined that this piece of technology would have entered the lives of people to such a great extent.
The importance of communication has led to the launching of many new plans for mobile phone users and that is why various companies have undertaken the task of making this service of cell phones better and easily accessible to the customers. But if any mobile service provider is just offering a limited amount of text messaging or internet surfing and talk time then it is not attractive to people. Today among all the other mobile service plans unlimited cell phone plans are in great demand as they offer unlimited communication to people at much cheaper rates.
The unlimited mobile services manage to provide the services of unlimited internet surfing and unlimited incoming and outgoing of calls and text messages including picture and video messages also to any domestic as well as international mobile number. The unlimited cell phone plans also comes with the additional services like voicemail facilities, caller ID, call forwarding, 3-way conference calling and many more attractive services through which the users will be always benefitted. With such a great extent of services, mobile phones tend to become even more efficient in their fulfilment of objective than before.
The companies try to give the best unlimited cell phone plan to their users so that they can retain their customers by providing them the required satisfaction. These mobile service companies make sure that the customers get the right services and that too at reasonable prices. Due to the number of mobile service companies like the Solavei mobile service it is not very difficult for a customer to lay his/ her hands on the right schemes that will fit their needs as well as their pockets. Just do a little comparison of the plans offered by the mobile service companies to find the best plan that suits your mobile phone needs.

Kristen Wohlschlegel purchased this house in 2014
We loved the house the minute we walked in and saw the beautiful view out the back windows. How perfect is it to be on the golf course! This house is our dream come true.
Lovely family friendly community. Perfect for the family beach vacation, guys golf trip or girls weekend. Comfortable yet classy beach and golf home.
Our family of 8 - ranging from 3 to 86 thoroughly enjoyed this clean, comfortable, well appointed home. Already planning our return.
My four friends and I stayed in this fantastic home to celebrate our birthdays. It was our first year renting it and we won't hesitate to stay in it again. It is very clean and comfortable. The owner responded right away to any questions we had before we arrived. We enjoyed the view of the golf course and the peaceful neighborhood. We would highly recommend staying here.
Our second year in this house and glad we returned.
Very restful and quiet yet plenty to do for the kids.
Everything you need to be comfortable.
Would highly recommend!
This is our 2nd year renting this property and we love it. The home has everything we need to accommodate our family of 7. The location is great as well with it being within walking distance to the pool. Looking forward to going back again next year.
We chose to stay at this house instead of hotel rooms for my daughter's graduation from Salisbury University. It provided the perfect base. When it rained, the gas fireplace took the chill off. And the king bedroom and bath on the first floor was perfect for grandparents who couldn't do the stairs. I enjoyed the morning sun in the kitchen/back porch area.
It was absolutely wonderful. House was exactly as described and the golf ladies enjoyed the house and bethany!
Take the beach shuttle to Bethany Beach town center only 2.5 miles away. Outlet Shopping in Rehoboth or Ocean City 20 minutes away. Relax and enjoy the golf course view from private screened porch.

Great place. My 1st choice when staying in the area. Got lucky with a 3 bed upgrade too.
Comfortable and well equipped apartment. Very helpful staff. Nearby underground station.
This hotel is very good. It has well thought-out amenities and the staff are great. The pub and local area also provide additional benefit...and we brought out dog! Worth every penny.
Squeaky floors but minor issue, good stay. Liked the breakfast as well.
Nice economical hotel. Rooms are quite small but comfortable.
Hidden away in quiet street but only 2 minutes from Harrods and Harvey Nicks. Room only plus continental breakfast but who needs more given the location. Delightful roof terrace and friendly helpful staff. Room and bathrooms small and fairly basic but very comfortable. Thoroughly recommended.
The room is very comfortable and very well located. extremely quiet at night so one can have a good night of sleep, pretty close to the underground, just 2 minutes walk and also close to a few attractions.

Brexit A Wake-Up Call To Dangers Of Right-Wing Extremism
I was paying close attention to the British vote to leave the European Union.
The United Kingdom has become a second home for much of our families and loved ones who were displaced by the civil war in Somalia. After fleeing the civil war, they found refuge in the U.K. and discovered the life and hope of which they were deprived in their homeland.
While I respect the will of the people, I know one thing for sure: extremism won that day.
The entire notion of exiting the European Union was the work of the neoconservative right wing that seems to dominate the political arena in England and around the world.
These groups only serve their own agendas and pursue the politics of division and fear. They don't build, they destroy. They divide people and don't bring them together.
It is no surprise that one of those who applauded the result of the referendum was U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose politics are similarly based on division and hate.
Britain's right-wing party was eager to break Britain away from the EU, even if they had to fabricate facts and lie to the nation. Nigel Farage, the leader of the U.K. Independence Party, recently admitted on live TV that one of his referendum claims -- that money would be diverted to Britain's National Health Service upon a leave vote -- was false.
Political right-wing extremists pose an equal or greater danger when compared to religious extremists, but sadly the media doesn't focus on this growing wave of fanaticism as much it should. According to Newsweek, right-wing extremists are a greater threat to America than ISIS. But sadly, they fall under the radar there, too.
Right-wing groups have also been accused of being complicit in the murder of British Labour MP Jo Cox for creating a hostile environment filled with hate and division. Her killer, Thomas Mair, had right-wing ties and yelled "Britain first!" before pulling the trigger.
If there is one thing that has become clear from the result of the Brexit referendum, it is is that right-wing extremists are determined to occupy the political arena.
Those who have caved into the right-wing state of mind have betrayed the ideals of the late MP who sacrificed her life for the betterment of the country, helping the needy and working together instead of going alone. There is always goodness in coming together.
Building takes effort, sacrifice, dedication and time. It has taken a lot of effort for the United Kingdom to maintain its unity over the years -- but destruction can easily be accomplished overnight, as we have just witnessed in this referendum.
All the efforts and sacrifices of those who have built this unity have evaporated into thin air. As markets slid into free fall and the rest of the world responded with grief and sorrow, only Donald Trump was quick to celebrate the outcome of the referendum.
I wish the United Kingdom, its people and all the world peace and prosperity.
As for the rest of the world, I hope we all learn to never give into the same type of fear mongering that has divided Europe and England. Sadly, we are witnesses to extremism taking over much of our planet. It seems like only extremists are doing the talking from both sides of the fence, while the majority of us look on with bewilderment and confusion.
If there is one thing that has become clear from the result of the Brexit referendum, it is that right-wing extremists are determined to occupy the political arena by pursuing the politics of divide and conquer. These extremists have shown what they are capable of doing in pursuing such politics.
At a time of U.S. presidential hopefuls promising to build up a physical wall between the U.S. and Mexico, politicians in England have succeeded in building a wall overnight that, though invisible, is no less real. It is time for humanity to wake up to the danger posed by extremists of all types -- including those of all political stripes.

The Ukip leader and MEP is the most famous 'outer'. After his party took over a 100 council seats in May's local election's Nigel Farage is hoping to win the 2014 European elections and then gain MPs in Westminster in 2015. He has confirmed he will seek a parliamentary seat himself.
Margaret Thatcher's former chancellor and a true 'Tory grandee' revealed in The Times that if and when there is a referendum "I shall be voting out". He also stuck the boot into the David Cameron by saying the prime minister's attempts to renegotiate the terms of the UK's relationship with the EU would be "inconsequential".
There are quite a few Conservative MPs who would like to wave goodbye to Brussels. Ken Clarke has said the figure is as low as 30 despite the strong eurosceptic feeling on the backbenches. However the exact number is not clear. Mid-Bedforshire MP Nadine Dorries, who remains suspended from the Conservative Party, is currently talk tof the eurosceptic town amid rumours she may defect to Ukip. Other backbench Brexiters include Bill Cash, Douglas Carswell, Peter Bone and Philip Davies and former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth.
Most of the anti-EU focus is on the Tory benches. But there are more than a handful of Labour MPs would would like to quit Brussels as well. Eurosceptics include Frank Field, Kate Hoey, Austin Mitchell, and Gisela Stuart. Stuart has argued the status quo is "not sustainable" and Britain should leave.
Rupert Murdoch has warned that the EU will "sink" the UK. The News International and boss caused a stir when he met Nigel Farage for dinner in London recently and said the Ukip leader was "reflecting opinion" with his anti-EU views. In November 2010 Richard Desmond's Daily Express became the first UK newspaper actively to call for Britain to leave the EU, launching a 'Get Britain Out' campaign
Of course no campaign is complete without a bit of star power. The pro-EU camp have Eddie Izzard, who do the Brexiters have? Joan Collins, a 'patron' of Ukip, wants the UK to leave. "The EU, controlled from Brussels, cares only about itself," she said in March.
Most business leaders do indeed seem content with what Lawson called the "warm embrace of the European single market", but there are a few dissenters. Private equity guys Jon Moulton and Edmund Truell are two and Next boss and Tory peer Simon Wolfson has said: "Britain should stay in Europe, but only on the right terms".
There are a number of loud voices whinnying on the sidelines to say "neigh" to the EU notably Melanie Phillips, Richard Littlejohn, Tom Utley, Simon Heffer. Basically the Daily Mail stable.
Several high-profile politicians appear to be on the verge of calling for the UK to exit the EU - but just are not there yet. Former defence secretary Liam Fox - pictured here with a big gun - has said "life outside the EU holds no terror" should David Cameron's hopes of negotiating a new treaty fail. Education secretary Michael Gove is said to have told friends the UK has "nothing to be scared of" by leaving Europe. And many other eurosceptic cabinet ministers, including Iain Duncan Smith and Owen Paterson are likely to share that view.

|[jira] [Updated] (DERBY-5947) Factor out common code from generated classes

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5947?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-5947: -------------------------------------- Attachment: values1-after-4a.txt d5947-4a-authorization.diff The 4a patch moves the authorization check for cursor result sets from generated code to CursorActivation. This change removed 414 bytes from the generated class for VALUES 1. (The reduction was mainly class names and method names in the constant pool, not so many instructions were removed.) The total reduction in size for a VALUES 1 statement is now 878 bytes (from 3408 bytes to 2530 bytes). Attached is also the decompiled class for VALUES 1 after the 4a patch.

Japanese GP at Suzuka
... again officials with signs and roped off areas directing you where to go. We made it back to Ise and our guesthouse at 6.40. Long day. First thing showers then I went out to source food for boys. They didn't want to go out again. Fun. Later Ed and I went out for dinner. Turns out most kitchens closing. We ended up at a place called Queens Diner which sounds awful except that no one spoke English and it was a blackboard menu with no pictures. We managed to order ...
Nara to Ise
... angels. Arrived in Ise and raining. Found our guesthouse ie back packers. Ed and I later went to the Jingu temple. Really peaceful and huge. Then dinner of homemade udon noodles in a tiny "restaurant". Yummy. We are getting better at slurping. Then to a jazz festival where we met an animator on South Park for 9 years who is now in charge of the tourist bureau in Ise. Tomorrow Suzuka and more train ...
Chatting on the train.
Sat next to a guy on the ltd express to Nagoya and he noticed how wet I was and asked "Suzuka"? We laughed a little and tried to have a conversation. Without more than a couple of words between us I managed to work out he raced motorcycles at Suzuka, until injuries to his knee and shoulder became too much.

I knew as soon as the red flag came out that they would call an end to it so I got a great head start on the masses. Very we'll organised event. So that's Japan's GP done, just 16 more to ...
Made it to the track and wandered about looking at the souvenir stands, same old stuff as you get at Melbourne. Redbull stand 4 deep in a queue, catherham: empty.

Citation: (2005) Phages Affect Gene Expression and Fitness in E. coli. PLoS Biol 3(7): e258. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.0030258

Life is hard for bacteria. Not only must they constantly compete against their comrades for resources and living space, they're also subject to infection by pathogens—viruses called bacteriophages—which can affect their ability to survive and prosper. Two types of bacteriophages threaten bacteria: lytic phages and lysogenic (or temperate) phages. Acquisition of a lytic phage (for example, T2, T4, or T6) is an immediate death sentence for the bacterium; upon infection, a lytic phage subverts the bacterium's biochemical machinery to make copy after copy of itself until the bacterium bursts, or lyses, from the burden. In contrast, a temperate phage (for example, λ phage) can lie dormant for many generations before it co-opts the bacterium's machinery to reproduce, but eventually it, too, lyses the bacterial cell as it releases a host of new phages. From the perspective of the bacterium, it is better to be infected by a temperate phage than a lytic phage because infection with a lytic phage means instant death, while a temperate phage may lie dormant long enough for the bacterium to reproduce.
Temperate phages achieve dormancy by producing a phage gene product (in the case of λ phage, called cI) that represses the production of other phage genes; phage reproduction ceases as long as this repressor is produced. Once infected by a temperate phage, bacteria are protected from secondary infections by various other phages, because the temperate phage prevents the others from becoming established in the cell. But might temperate phage infection confer other advantages on bacterial survival?
Edward Cox's group at Princeton University examined this question by looking for evidence that temperate phage infection triggers changes in bacterial behavior. Working with λ phages, the authors studied how phage infection affects the regulation of genes that might impact the bacterium's survival by comparing the constellation of genes expressed in uninfected E. coli bacteria to those in E. coli carrying a dormant λ phage. They found that λ phage caused reduced expression of the bacterial gene pckA, which codes for an enzyme that helps bacteria grow on carbon sources (fuels) other than glucose; without functioning pckA, bacteria grow normally in an environment containing glucose, but grow only slowly in an environment containing alternative carbon sources such as succinate. E. coli carrying λ phage fail to make the pckA gene product because the pckA gene is turned off by the virally encoded repressor cI. Interestingly, the researchers found evidence that the repressors made by other temperate phages may also be able to turn off pckA expression, and that the pckA genes of other bacteria related to E. coli might also be regulated by temperate phage repressors.
The fact that this relationship between temperate phage repressors and regulation of the pckA gene is so well conserved argues that the ability to turn off this gene might be positively selected; therefore, pckA repression must confer some sort of survival benefit to the bacterium. It's not clear what this benefit might be, but one explanation is that slowing bacterial growth in glucose-poor environments might help the bacterium elude detection by the immune system of any animal it invades, increasing its chances of survival. Alternatively, slower bacterial growth might slow down the onset of viral reproduction and eventual lysis. Regardless, it is clear that there is a strong relationship between the temperate phages and the bacteria they colonize. These results have significant implications for the evolution of fitness in these bacterial populations.
