If This Be TREASON
A poem about gay love.
If this be treason
Then I be treasoner
Captain, may I walk the beams ?
And drown in the sea ?
If This be a crime
Then I be co-conspirator
May, I go to jail now?
Or will I have to go to court so all may know how?
If this be sin
Then I be sinner
So send me to the wallows
But love, don't follow
If this be wrong
Then I be wronger
And even if we both dying
We'll die knowing we were trying
And may our parents cry knowing
Our gay pride flags were showing

Travel Blogs from King's Lynn
Drive South to Norfolk
... we went to our hotel we drove down the Norfolk coast and tried to see the Queens house at Sandringham. Then we drove to Wells-next-the-sea to have a walk then we drove back to King's Lynn to our hotel.
Then we had dinner at a pub. Then we drove back to our hotel and went to ...
Flight to San Francisco
We drove to Heathrow very leisurely, and spent a good 2 hours in the BA lounge. The plane was a new Airbus 380 and we were seated upstairs. The flight was 10 hours but with nice food, wine and some movies it was not too bad.
Arrival in SF was easy, with customs very quick, found the hire car desk but then had difficulty with the car / SUV as we couldn't get out cases in under the boot cover. Problem solved ...
Holt, Blakeney and Binham Priory
... even though your car might be submerged. A visit to Binham Priory ended our day. This site included a ruined benedictine priory established in 11th century and a church that has been used for 800 years. Fascinating mix of architecture from various periods. We might all like to preserve old buildings as they are now but you often see that the buildings have been changed many times over their hundreds of year old ...
... the local market and finishing almost at our Guest House. We didn't stop at some of the buildings of interest as we needed to have lunch and collect our luggage before 3pm, before returning to London. Lunch at The Hereward Pub, local bus to the train station and we were on our way home. Connections all worked well, Esther and Bob returned to the The Grange at Ealing and Wendy and Di settled back for a good nights rest at ...
In search of Angels
... so the monks of Ely claimed that the saintly influence of Wendreda had performed a miracle after all. The relics stayed at Ely until 1343 when they were returned to March. There they stayed, drawing pilgrims from across the realm, many in search of a healing miracle for their ills. March prospered, and the church grew accordingly.

You don't know what you've got til its gone... #NHS
So, with the #nhssavedmylife trending on twitter I thought it would be an interesting idea to try and live tweet through my bronchoscopy procedure. As many of my ideas do, this had practical downsides and I failed to actually tweet whilst the scope was being used, but it's the intention that counts.It was crap by the way. The bronchoscopy I mean. Definitely not one to put on your bucket list. Surprisingly the having a camera down your trachea bit isn't actually that awful, but the spraying of the local anaesthetic half way down to your lungs would be a worthy replacement for waterboarding, though I doubt Guantanamo would serve it up with a side order of nurses to hold your hands throughout. To be fair unlike torture centres the NHS do also offer a nice, free sedation service for those people not stupid enough to think toughing it out for a few minutes is the way to go. I'm generally a huge fan of floaty sedative drugs so it says a great deal that I chose to reject the free, legally administered by vein drug option.
We've had our problems over the years, me an' the NHS; lack of diagnosis, judgemental clinicians and absence of adequate services to support those with chronic conditions being top of a long list. As someone with a chronic condition falling through every possible gap in NHS provision its all too easy to get caught up in what the NHS doesn't do well and forget to notice all the things it does so brilliantly. NHS reform is undoubtedly needed, but like seemingly most of the legislation this Coalition government is trying to force upon us, there has been so little attention paid to the details that we risk dismantling all the positive parts of our systems whilst leaving the dysfunctional in place.
Yesterday, while waiting in the endoscopy suite I watched the NHS at its best. If I'd remained in the waiting room all I would have experienced was the constant, endlessly ringing phones and the tooth grinding while waiting for them to be answered. I'd have seen the officious reception staff too busy to meet anyone's eyes and the insensitive so and so eating in a waiting room full of people 'nil by mouth'.* I'd have been frustrated at the delays, the loss of my notes and did I mention those endlessly ringing phones already? They were very annoying.
But instead I went through the patient experience. The consent procedure which was repeated as my notes were yet to return from clinic 'just in case'. Even though I had a signed copy with me, it was just in case anything was missed. The repeated measuring of my blood pressure which indicated my fight or flight response was in full swing thank you very much, but despite the desire my ability to turn into a duck and fly far, far away was not.**
As I waited for and recovered from my procedure in the recovery area I saw the part of the NHS most people are never privileged enough to see. Typically an individual uses the health service heavily at the beginning and end of their life, with little contact in between save say the occasional broken bone, or visit to the GP for holiday immunisations. They can be frustrating, misleading experiences which involve lengthy waits or incomprehensible delays. Incomprehensible until you go beyond the surface areas of the NHS and get to see what's happening behind the scenes. There are areas of the NHS that would make you weep with the waste and incompetence, but conversely, an NHS unit which is well funded, staffed and managed is like watching a beautiful ballet performance.
Having experienced health care on both sides of the Atlantic, along with the subsequent bills fought over by hospital and insurance company I wondered how different would this experience be if my experience were in an insurance based co-pay environment. The fear I felt in the waiting room and reluctance to endure and unpleasant procedure would almost certainly have led to me running away and avoiding the test altogether if I had had to contribute towards the financial costs. I would definitely have gone without sedation as having it means losing income not being able to work the following day and adds substantially to the costs. I would almost certainly have refused the 'just in case' venflon put into my arm as an unjustifiable expense, more willing to take the risk of delay during an emergency than spend a few hundred pounds on something that might not need to be used, but that could save my life if it were. Perhaps I would also have felt obligated to go to the cheapest provider of the testing, regardless of whether they were equipped to deal with the kind of complications which can occur in someone with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I would certainly have felt a type of stress and fear that most British people raised on the incredible priviledge of the NHS cannot even begin to comprehend.
And that's the utter disaster that is the NHS bill. Its so poorly drafted, so ill defined that it doesn't address the areas of the NHS in need of reform - how we care for those with chronic conditions or the elderly. Instead it attacks the structure, forcing reluctant GP's to become both diagnostician and budget holder seeking the cheapest possible provider not the best. It fails to recognise the complex interactions required in any hospital, focusing entirely on the waiting room experience for the worried well.
It paves paradise and puts up a parking lot.
*Though the insensitive so and so did come with me and is probably not a permanent feature.
** bloody drugs, promise you everything, deliver nothing. Like politicians but without the taxpayer funded duck house.

Hun, so pleased you got through it in one peice, and are able to talk about that which you were dreading. Like you I know the results wont be in for a while, and I am very grateful to the NHS for the job they do, even though like yourself I fell through the cracks for 38yrs. I would dread to have to pay a medical insurance, and do realise how very lucky we are to have this system in place. I know people knock it, but its much easier to know that alot, not all, but a lot of the necessary medications are available for our treatment, than have to dread asking for treatment and justifying expensive drugs.
Now just need to deal with my latest shock for today, the refusal of a Statement for any child with EDS/HMS in the Borough of OLDHAM, if they need less than 15hrs 1-1 per week! So if they move area's they then have to wait and go through the Statement process in a new borough! Not entirely sure this is Legal, its definatly not for the protection of these children, but a cost cutting excersise, being done ONLY in Oldham.....Upset isnt the word!!!
Hugs hun, Keep up the good work, xx

So glad it's over for you, v impressive and brave to live tweet through it!
"an NHS unit which is well funded, staffed and managed is like watching a beautiful ballet performance." That's so well put. I had the privilege to see that for myself recently. I have a chronic health problem (and yes, the NHS did take years to diagnose it, but then it took fewer years than the average time to diagnose in the USA where they have a private healthcare system). A few years ago I was due to have surgery on the NHS, and for various reasons a private hospital provided it. My experience didnt' suggest to me that private providers offered greater dignity or customer service than the NHS... I had my own room, which was very nice, but it didn't offer me much dignity when nurses kept leaving the door open whilst doing intimate examinations, or wandering in and chatting with each other during said examinations.
Then there's the surgery itself. It turns out the kind of surgery I had is pretty pointless, sounds fancy but doesn't really do anything. So I went back to my local consultant. The service I had visiting my local NHS hospital, from the receptionist to the nurses, to the radiologists, to the doctors, to the medical student in the room, really couldn't have been bettered. They were respectful, understanding, on time. I'll (hopefully) have surgery later this year, which will have a decent evidence base.
It left me thinking - if you were a private provider, why would you give somebody the surgery that actually works, rather than the one where they keep having to come back for more?

Hi BG, I was in our local Endoscopy Clinic on tuesday having a colonoscopy. Luckily they called me in at 8.00 and I was out and home by 12.00 and tucking into some grub. You can't eat anything for 20 hours before the procedure and the stuff they get you to drink flushes you right through. I was empty. The staff were great and did a good job.
My current medical situation has seen me visit almost every clinic/department in the hospital in the last couple of years and I agree that the well run bits are a joy. However, not every department is well run. I was on a ward having tests (which resulted in an appendectomy that didn't solve the issue)and I'm afrid my treatment was appalling. It's not nice to have to shout at a nurse to get her to fit a drip (which took two minutes)and to read my notes which showed quite clearly that a drip had to be fitted. In some parts of the NHS the staff are too busy filling in forms and ticking boxes to actually do any nursing. The reforms planned by the government will make this more likely to happen, not less.
Keep up the good work BG!

After seeing GP-hospital interactions up close, I'm not sure it will be such a bad change after all.
Two years ago, my mother had a sore left foot - essentially, there was a lump growing in it, forcing two toes apart. At first, the GP suggested trying an insole and switching car to an automatic in case it was the clutch. That didn't help, so the GP asked for an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon at the local hospital.
That's where it all went wrong. The hospital decided it knew better, and switched the appointment to see an orthotic technician instead - who installed an insole and sent my mother away again. Actually getting the appointment the GP had requested ended up costing a few hundred pounds.
If the reforms mean you actually get the treatment the NHS ordered from the NHS instead of having to pay to go private to get what the NHS says you need, it can't be a bad thing.
(My own first encounter with the NHS was very nearly fatal as well, also due to "hospital knows best" care rationing, determined to keep a tiny hospital open and delivering dangerously inadequate care rather than send patients to a proper hospital. On a remote island you could understand it - but this was London.)

Struggling Zack Wheeler, Mets fall, 6-3, to Nationals
WASHINGTON – Standing alone in the far corner of the Mets' clubhouse, surrounded only by reporters as his teammates showered and ate quietly in the adjoining rooms, Zack Wheeler lamented about good pitches gone bad and a wasted day of electric stuff.
He admitted to questioning his pitch choices after a second straight bad outing, and vowed to make the necessary changes to get better.
Of course at that point, it was too late to make changes. When the Mets needed their 23-year old pitching prospect to come up big, he came up with another
Wheeler couldn't prevent the Mets' 6-3 loss to the Nationals in their rubber game Sunday, just as he couldn't get a win against the Yankees on Tuesday despite getting 11 runs of support before the fifth inning.
His stuff was better this time around by a wide margin. But the Nats made him pay for every mistake he made.
"It's been a bunch of bad starts in a row," Wheeler said. "So you have to hurry up and turn it around and get back on track."
Wheeler lasted six innings against the Nationals, giving up six hits and five runs, only three of which were earned because of an error by shortstop Ruben Tejada in the third.
The performance came on the heels of his less spectacular one against the Yankees, when he was roughed up for five runs in only 4¤ innings.
After his latest loss, which dropped Wheeler to 1-4 with his ERA remaining at 4.53, he questioned whether his pitch selection was getting predictable 11 months after being promoted from the minors.
He thought he threw two good inside fastballs to Wilson Ramos. But Ramos turned on both of them, lashing a couple of two-run doubles to left, the first of which came after Tejada fumbled a backhanded grounder in the third that could have ended the inning. The second double gave Washington a 5-1 lead in the fifth.
"I felt great [Sunday], probably the best I've felt all year," Wheeler said. "The balls were inside, but I guess not inside enough. Ramos, he just did a good job of hitting.
"Obviously, guys are starting to figure me out a little bit and see what I have. I was thinking after I came out [against the Nationals], maybe I'm being a little bit predictable right now, you know, fastball on fastball counts and stuff like that. Maybe start thinking a little bit more, but not too much, obviously. Not trying to trick guys, but keep them off balance a little bit more."
The Mets tried to claw back from their early deficit. Juan Lagares, starting in center for the second straight game, brought home David Wright with bloop single to shallow right in the sixth. Juan Centeno knocked in Curtis Granderson two batters later when the newly called-up catcher hit a single to center with two outs.
But Centeno was caught trying to take second, stranding Lagares at third and ending the Mets' last major threat of the game. They went down in order in the last three innings.
Centeno had given the Mets a 1-0 lead on a two-out RBI single to right in the second. But Ian Desmond answered for the Nats, drilling a Wheeler fastball to the seats in left to lead off the bottom of the inning.
"We can't make some of the mistakes that we're making," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "We've got to play solid baseball. We've certainly got to play crisper."
And pitch crisper, too, something Wheeler needs to do.

Gloucester looked dead and buried in Pool Six after back-to-back home defeats to Edinburgh and Munster but they will now be playing knockout rugby in April after they bagged a bonus point inside 54 minutes in southern France.
Shane Monahan scored twice for the visitors, with England trio Jonny May, Charlie Sharples and Ben Morgan also touching down and Freddie Burns kicking 11 points through four conversions and a drop-goal, missing just once from the tee.
May set Gloucester on their way when he sliced through from fully 80 metres with 13 minutes gone, giving England coach Stuart Lancaster another timely reminder of his talents with ball in hand as the Six Nations looms ever closer.
The 23-year-old left four defenders in his wake after picking up Sione Piukala's dropped pass just inside the Gloucester 22, with the Perpignan cover grasping at thin air thanks to May's pace and balance.
Burns pushed the conversion attempt across the face of the posts but Gloucester's lead was just two after Tom Ecochard's fourth-minute penalty had opened the scoring for the hosts.
Perpignan were celebrating a try of their own after 18 minutes, though, when Piukala powered through after David Marty's well-timed pop left May flat-footed.
Ecohord's conversion left Gloucester with a 10-5 deficit at the end of the first quarter but they were back in front by the half-hour.
The pack went close with a series of carries wide on the right before Rob Cook put Monahan over on the opposite touchline with 28 minutes gone. Burns sent over a superb conversion to push Gloucester 12-10 ahead and things got even better for Nigel Davies and co when Sharples finished off a brilliant breakaway four minutes after Monahan had touched down for his first.
Gloucester pounced when former Wasps forward Dan Leo lost possession in the visitors' 22, with Burns and Billy Twelvetrees giving number eight Gareth Evans a hint of a gap 15 metres from his own line. Evans showed a surprising turn of pace and great awareness to cut in between two defenders before galloping towards the Perpignan line.
He could have stretched for glory himself but instead offloaded to Sharples, who dotted down despite pressure from Joffrey Michel.
Burns again succeeded with the conversion from wide on the right in between a brace of penalty misses from Ecochard and Gloucester took a 19-10 lead into the interval.
Ecochard narrowed the gap to six points a minute after the restart but Gloucester grabbed the bonus-point try when Monahan dived over on the left after Dan Robson's quick-fire pass from a close-range ruck on 53 minutes.
Burns added the extras and Gloucester were 26-13 up and with the hard work seemingly done.
A Karl Chateau try after good work from Ecochard gave Perpignan hope of a comeback two minutes past the hour but Gloucester never looked like letting things slip in the final quarter.
Instead, Burns slotted a drop-goal with seven minutes left and Morgan stretched over from a five-metre scrum for a try converted by Burns at the death after Perpignan prop George Jgenti saw yellow.

The great reviews for this top coat really confuses me. I tried so hard to like it but I can't! It dries quickly but it bubbles. Does anyone look at their nails closely? Because I do and what I see are a bunch of little bubbles after using this top coat. I'll be sticking to Essie's good to go. Super smooth and fast drying.

This is the best of the best! My nails chip and peel and no polish ever lasts more than maybe 3 days on me, even with a top coat. However, with this top coat I can easily go a week with no chips! Plus it dries sooooo fast!! Which is super awesome since I can't sit still and always mess up my freshly done nails. I'll never buy any other top coat again! Love it!

This polish is my end all be all when it comes to topcoats! It dries fast, has an excellent consistency, and holds up better that the new "gel" topcoats. I have heard that this topcoat can smear nail art, but I'm not really into nail art so I can't say if it is or isn't true. I have tried pretty much every other mainstream quick dry topcoat and this is the only one that has not shrunk or made my polish peel off like a sticker.

My holy grail top coat. Prior to using this top coat I used seche vite, which I liked because it was fast drying, but hated because it was goopy and I always had to thin it out when I got a new bottle. I found a huge 2.5 ounce of this at Sally's for about $11 and never looked back! This formula is thinner than the seche and easier easier to work with and it does dry fast. I totally recommend!

I started using this as an alternative to Seche Vite. I was looking for something that still had a nice glossy finish and dried quickly but had more lasting power. This hits all those criteria for me. While it takes a little longer than Seche Vite to dry and isn't as shiny, it has the staying power that Seche Vite just doesn't have for me. I can get up to a full week with this top coat with only some minor wear on the tips and maaayyybe a small chip on a finger or two (my polish almost always cracks eventually no matter what top coat I use). The shine is very good and will start to dull within a few days so touch ups might be in order if you keep your polish on long enough. The only reason I took a lippie off was because of two things: 1) I really hate the brush. This is a rather thick top coat so I feel like a really thin brush makes it more difficult to apply since I either have to dip the brush back in the bottle to get more or get wayyyy too much on the brush at once. 2) About two-thirds of the way through the bottle it gets really thick and gloopy. I can actually see it stringing up when I pull the brush out of the bottle and it's a little difficult to apply. When this starts to happen I just load up the brush with way more than I need and it spreads more easily. I don't mind it getting goopy though since I only pay about $5 for it at Target. I will keep using this as my go to unless something better comes along.

I can't live without this stuff! This top coat makes your nail polish dry FAST. Quick and thorough. You can even paint your nails right before you go to bed if you want to.
Plus it adds a high-gloss shine to your polish and helps to chip-proof your mani too.
And it doesn't start to get thick when you get to the end of the bottle either.
Excellent product and inexpensive too. I will definitely buy it again. Recommended!

I was frustrated with my usual top coat (Sally Hansen InstaDri in the red bottle) getting gloopy when the bottle was half full, so I decided to try Out the Door.
Thirty minutes after painting my nails and doing nothing but browse online, I put on my jacket and grabbed my keys to go out. These simple actions caused my polish to smear so badly that I took off all the polish and repainted four nails.
This is the second time this has happened. The first time I was wearing three coats of Essie Tuck it in My Tux, an off white crelly with a crappy formula. I blamed the polish for the smears but it happened again (same kind of folds and deep nicks) when I was wearing OPI Do You Have This Color in Stockholm?, a vivid indigo creme polish and not a problem child formula-wise.
"How long should I wait to do things?" is not a question I should have to ask myself when wearing a quick dry polish.
On the plus side, Out the Door is very shiny and makes a carefully dried manicure last three days, which is as long as I wear any polish on my fingertips. I will finish the bottle, but I will schedule extra drying time so I can make sure this doesn't get all bunched up and ugly-looking again.
I'll go back to Sally in the red bottle when I'm finished with my bottle of Out the Door but I'm still looking for my HG top coat.

This topcoat is amazing. It's smooth, easy to apply and it dries to a hard, glass like shiny finish. It is cheaper than the more expensive topcoats, but the quality is top-notch.
With this topcoat, I can easily get up to 4-5 days of wear on my nails.This is definitely a great choice for those looking for a great topcoat at a affordable price.

I didn't find this to dry paritucularly fast like the previous reviewer. I have nails with a definite curve or "u" shape--told I get it from my dad's side. They take extra tension from typing with my nails (I love the tapping fast sound & the striking of the tip truly does make them grow a bit faster, which has to do with injury/wound healing body mechanisms, same as callouses on feet...anyway...). I also use them as a tool box and since I have to look them all day (vs my own face), I've become a durability connoisseur with strong (never sheer) colors & virtually having them painted every day this long (so 20-somethings, take note of advice here!).
This doesn't prevent a chip with less than delicate nail daily use. I maybe get 3-4 days. For regular top coats, I prefer either CND or OPI. Fast drying formulas aren't as long lasting due to the formula difference, so don't skimp on base (I'm partial to NailTek WITH formaldehyde & all--screw the chemical free topcoats. If these ingredients were actually that bad, there would be research & reports of numerous adverse fingertip effects of it in medical/science journals by now). or top coat if you can help it.
The most invincible top coat (i.e. up to 5-10 days with no/few chips or minimal, reparable chips), invest in a cheap UV machine (or LED--read a lot of reviews first) and use just the gel top coat. This technology has been around decades but I could only find it at Sally's, and I bought my first UV light 20 years ago--it's the same type they use to fix windshield cracks). The easiest-on-your-nails method is just to use the top or top & base coat, because then you can remove polish the usual way versus gel nails, although it still takes a bit longer. You have less time with remover soaking into your fingers/cuticles & no need to horribly weaken your nails with filing & thinning them or scraping them. You keep using your favorite colors too!

So here's yet another "sporty" look. I don't know what inspired me to dress like this that day that I shot this. I just randomly threw this outfit together and it just worked.
These are the shoes that were in the Instagram giveaway I recently hosted with Public Desire. It was a success, by the way. There were probably 1,000+ participants and I randomly picked the winner. These shoes are called "Zia" Platform boots. They're actually really comfortable to walk around town with because of the big platform. They're the perfect boot to add to a casual look such as this one.
(AA Baseball Tee, Nike Sports Bra, AA Disco Pants, ZeroUV Sunnies, Public Desire 'ZIA' Platform Boots, AA Hair tie, ALDO Purse)
This was one of my very last shoots of the summer and it was shot by my good friend Romar, who took most of my pictures all summer. We shot this on the street my best friend lives in Carson (my hometown). I spent most of my days there this summer. It's refreshing to come back to where you came from just to kick it with old homies. I love Carson, California. It's my home and I am proud to be from there. Anyway, hope you all enjoy this look.

text: Hmmmm, Ok so I have 4 hard drives of very varying capacity (20G,12G,5G,4G) I have an off-board IDE controller (Promise 66) I think 'maybe I can take advantage of the IDE system and put a drive on each master and stripe them.' A hardware RAID card would be suboptimal because (as I understand it) the striped volume could only be as big as the smallest drive. So, I set up the drives as; hda = 20G hda1 = 64M and is /boot hda2 = 1G hdc = 12G hdc1 = 1G hde = 5G hde1 = 1G hdg = 4G hdg1 = 1G The other partitions are set up for various other volume groups and non LVM system partitions. hda2, hdc1, hde1, hdg1 are added to a VG 'fast' The other LVM partitions on hdc-g are in a volume group that doesn't see much traffic, just storage. I make logical volumes on fast striped across 4 drives. So thats 4 partitions at the beginning of the drives, with volumes striped across them. I expected some performance improvements. So I get the iozone benchmark and start running it on the system. I compare performance of striped volumes with performance of a volume purely on hda. Interestingly, the performance improvement is not dramatic, I expected better. The main improvement seems to be that the striped volumes do better with larger file sizes and as file size increases the striped volume keeps its performance up better. I'm a newbie at this benchmarking lark, so if anyone wants the excel spreadsheets generated from iozone just ask, I'd like a second opinion! There are some strange things, like when file size gets above 16M performance drops dramatically regardless of striped or linear volumes... Maybe its something to do with extents?

In a recent review of my gear I identified my golite reed pants as an item not often used. I have already reduced the weight of the reeds by removing the zippers, but they are still 4.75 oz. I'm considering rain chaps instead to save weight. The MLD sylnylon chaps are 2.2 oz and the cubens are 1.4 oz. Anyone have success with rain chaps or anyone had problems with them?

I feel the function is largely dependent by your selection/preference of upper body rain protection.
I prefer a true rain jacket (arcteryx alpha sl) for summer use, and the jacket is cut quite short. This allows for no overlap between the jacket and the rain chaps. A ULA rain skirt would work better with such a jacket.
If you use a rain poncho or a longer cut rain jacket you will likely be pleased with both the protection and the weight.Apr 15, 2009 at 5:42 pm #1494372

I had a pair of rain chaps many years ago, bought at REI, of all places. Back then I was wearing a poncho, so they worked OK. With the shorter rain jackets that many of us wear, I'm not sure they would provide adequate coverage.Apr 15, 2009 at 5:53 pm #1494376

I was also interested in getting the MLD Rain Chaps but I was worried about the breathability of these. Although since this is an item you said you won't be using that often, breathability shouldn't be a big problem for you.
I ended up going with the ULA Rain Wrap instead, which weighs in at 2.9 oz in size medium. I use it with my Marmot Mica jacket and it works great. Just another option to consider.

Good points…here is a pic using my go to jacket these days which is a simple golite virga size large.
It hangs below my waist so chaps might work in a pinch. I think I'd be alright with them not being breathable based on the way I hike and sweat. Still pondering so all opinions are welcome.

Jamie – just a thought, has anyone here successfully used a mont-bell or golite style umbrella with spinn-chaps?
my umbrella sees use when weather is light rain, but i have the problem of wet legs if walking fast especially.. seems like this combination would yeild great results in some circumstances..Apr 16, 2009 at 8:57 am #1494516

I have the MLD rain chaps and have used them in the rain 2 or 3 times so far, paired with the MLD poncho tarp.
I agree with the others that the ability to use the rain chaps is dependant on what you have for your upper body.
The poncho tarp does a very good job of drapping over the open crotch area and prevents rain from getting to that area.
I can not see how using a conventional rain jacket would work with the rain chaps unless it really was long enough to cover your backside/crotch area.
What I do like about the rain chaps is that they are very light and they do breath well….the groing area naturally being an area of heat build up (kinda sounds dirty doesn't it?) with all the major arteries there.
One difference betwee some traditional rain pants and the rain chaps is that the rain chaps do not have an elastic bottom cuff for closure.
The MLD rain chaps comes with a shock cord like stirup to wrap around the bottom of your shoes to keep the pant leg from riding up.
I have yet to use them and removed them from the rain chaps…just had not had any issues of the pant leg riding up. (Then again, I am not a tall guy at 5'6").
The only slight negative is that pulling them out in a rain storm and getting them on quick is something that I have not mastered yet….it uses a elastic cord for a belt to which each pant leg is attached and upon pulling them out of the stuff bag, I have to take a few moments to get them positioned in the right way to put them on properly.
The fact that they don't have a zipper at the bottom to make it easier to get your foot through is a slight negative too, but that would add weight.
Overall, I love em and have no plans on switching back.
Hope that this helps you out.

Unless it's quite cold out, I find that I can't walk in rain chaps or rain pants of any sort without getting wet from the inside-out. If the weather isn't too cold to make it practical, the best approach I find is shorts and poncho.
When it is cold enough to sustain some sort of rain pant, chaps are great IMO, particularly due to the ability to more easily put them on and take them off … one leg at a time. Less nice sometimes in camp or at breaks as you can't sit on anything wet without having something (else) dry to sit on.
Most of the time when I carry chaps, that's exactly what I do … carry chaps, not wear them.
Since I use a poncho, I'm not interested in a rain skirt, because a loosely belted poncho is basically a rain jacket plus a rain skirt anyway. If poncho is long enough, one could consider relatively long & light gaiters instead or — just let the lower leg get wet. The only issue with this latter strategy is if you're using some sort of waterproof or water resistant shoe, you don't want socks to wet out from the top-down.
One suggestion before buying rain chaps is to consider making a pair by converting frogg togg or dri-ducks pants (when you buy a set of these they come with both jacket and rain pants). My converted dri-ducks pants work great as chaps, were inexpensive given that I also got a jacket out of the deal, and it wasn't a great deal of sewing work to do the conversion.Apr 16, 2009 at 11:52 am #1494571

I made a pair last year from Cuben weighing right at 1.0 oz. and wore them in 2 straight days of prolonged rain and loved them !!! I modified the basic chap design to enclose the entire seat area but still have the crotch area open to vent. That way rain coming down my back doesn't go down the back of my pants and I never had a problem with the crotch area getting wet with my slightly longer rain jacket. It was warm enough that I was able to wear shorts on the first day. Weather was much colder the second day and I was able to wear them over pants without any overheating problems ! The only downside was at the end of the first day doing 22 miles in the rain I slipped on some rocks and tore some small holes in one knee section. This would have ripped any pair of rain pants I'm guessing. The good news is that Cuben is so easy to do on-the-trail repairs with some tape.

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 104 reviews
It was a one night stay for me as I was on a motorcycle tour of the Alps from Austria to Italy. The staff was very hospitable and super friendly. Being in the center of town there isn't much parking, not even for a motorcycle.
awesome stay in cortina. plenty to do, this is a great jumping off location, and very inexpensive in the summer.
Great location and great service. It'd be hard to find a better location for the price, but the friendly staff really makes it a useful place to use as a base for exploring!
Parking is very difficult as they only have 8 parking spaces. Hotel is right in the middle of town.
This was my third time staying here. Great location. Unfortunately the internet service and the breakfast has gotten worse. Used to have great coffee now they have a machine that makes terrible coffee. Only yogurt available is plain and there used to be a nice variety. The service is great and the rooms are clean, and very reasonable pricing, so they could turn this around pretty easy with little effort (I wish they would)!

Life in Florence
... the return trip! All in all, it was a fun and productive day. Later in the week we visited the inside of the Baptistery of San Giovanni. It was believed to be a pagan Roman temple for several centuries before being converted for Christian use. It's shape is octagonal symbolizing the time of the risen Christ beyond our earthly time measured in seven-day cycles. The beautiful mosaics on the dome reveal the influence of Italian Byzantine art, but ...
Picturesque Florence
... We learnt a lot more about Pablo Picasso and his personal life. He did have an eye for the ladies!
After coffee and croissants we headed to Florence's Duomo. Building commenced in 1296 and took 150 years to complete. The Dome of the cathedral is a feat of engineering (Brunelleschi) and we were told that one cannot fully appreciate it without climbing the 463 interior stone steps. The climb up the spiral staircase is ...
The beautiful city of gelato
... until we bumped into the next bridge - the Santa Trinida. And the next gelato of the day. Pistachio (I don't normally like this flavour - but this one was so good!). Raspberry sorbet (wow so much flavour and not a fake raspberry taste). And fig caramel (so disappointing! Didn't taste of fig. Or caramel). Refuelled and back off again. The Pitti Palace was disappointing. A large grey building infront of a large grey plaza. Great. By now it was around 4pm. We battled with ...
... The final stop by ferry was Vernazza. It is the fourth town heading north, has no car traffic, and is said to be one of the truest "fishing villages" on the Italian Riviera. In October 2011, the town was struck by torrential rains, massive flooding, and mudslides. The downpour and mudslides left the town buried in over 4 metres of mud and debris, causing over 100 million euro worth of damage. The town was evacuated and remained in a continued state ...
Florence: Lucky for Some.
... at every opportunity. On one afternoon I cast my greedy eyes over a waffle that a young child was enjoying and coveted it so much that I bought my own. I balked at the price, 7 Euro, and then hated the first half, so I threw it away before it clotted my arteries any further. Food in general was quite expensive here, but if I strayed off the beaten path a little I could generally find stuff that was cheaper. I stumbled upon what I thought was a student area at one point ...

Discourse XIII. ON GOD'S DOMINION. Psalm cui. 19. The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heareia: and kit g kingdom ruU/it over all. Tin: Psalm begins with the praise of God, wherein the penman excites his cool to a right and elevated management of so great a duty (ver. 1): ' Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name:' and because himself and all men were insufficient to offer up a praise to God answerable to the greatness of his benefits, he summons in tin- end of the psalm the angels, and all creatures, to join hi concert with him. Observe, 1. As man is too shallow a creature to comprehend the excellency of God, so he is too dull and scanty a creature to offer up a due praise to God, both in regard of the excellency of his nature, and the multitude and greatness of his benefit. 2. We are apt to forget Divine benefits: our souls must therefore be often jogged, and roused up. 'All that is within me,' every power of my rational, and every affection' of my sensitive part: all his faculties, all his thoughts. Our souls will hang back from God in every duty, much more in this, if we lay not a strict charge upon them. We are so void of a pure and entire love to God, that we have no mind to those duties. Wants will spur us on to prayer, but a pure love to God can only spirit us to praise. We are more ready to reach out a hand to receive his mercies, than to lift up our heart to recognize them after the receipt.

Newt Gingrich Will Answer Your Question
Newt Gingrich is a panelist on CNN's political debate show Crossfire. Also, he has a funny Twitter tic that New York's Stefan Becket noticed.
Whoever runs social media for Crossfire is enamored with the engagement strategy of asking lots of rhetorical Yes or No questions on Twitter. And Newt Gingrich is enamored with answering them.
It's hard to exactly pin down what's so funny about this. Here are the two mental images it conjures for me:
1. Newt Gingrich, head bowed in some kind of paperwork, while someone just off to his side keeps asking him random topical news questions "Newt! Should Michael Grimm step down from office?" He answers them in a kind of automatic, distracted way and continues tow ork.
2. Newt Gingrich, sitting in a classroom, as a weirdly hyper teacher fires a series of rapid questions. After every one, Newt Gingrich's hand shoots straight up and he answers them confidently. "Class, how would you grade President Obama's foreign policy?" Newt: "FAIL." It's worth mentioning that in this mental image, the classroom is empty, and Newt Gingrich is sitting alone in a sea of desks.

GBP/USD: pound giving in to dollar
Tatiana Norkina, FBS analyst
The British currency has fallen significantly against the US dollar. At the end of previous week, we witnessed strong sales that were the result of the break through the Ichimoku cloud support followed by the prices fixing in the negative area.
The four-hour picture has become fully bearish: Ichimoku cloud is now of a downward direction, and, at the same time, the dead cross formed by the Tenkan and Kijun lines is relevant.
But the 1.5000/50 area is marked by a strong support that will stop the sellers today. However, the growth will be only corrective so far, up to the Tenkan and Kijun lines. After testing of the 51st figure level, the downtrend may continue.

Reviews of Laurels of Norworth The
Caring105444450 August 22, 2015
I am a friend or relative of a resident
I didn't like the facility. Dad didn't get the physical therapy that he needed after his knee surgery. My mother and sister visited him more just to see that he was comfortable and that he would stay there longer than he would because once he came home, he wouldn't do anything at all, and dad is pretty stubborn. However, he didn't get enough therapy, and he wasn't happy at the Laurels; he wasn't content at all.

I am/was a resident of this facility
Right now, I'm in The Laurels. I don't like anything here. They work under very bad conditions where they're out of supplies all the time. There are a lot of individuals that don't speak English and makes it very difficult for other staff and the residents. Those individuals also have bad attitudes. You don't find them communicating with the patients or holding conversations. The food is all carbs, and I seldom get what I have listed on my menu; it's always wrong. They mop through the middle of the floors. It's seldom dusted and if you have plants, they'll die because they don't water plants.

While they have an alzheimers unit, they suffer from the same problems that seem prevalent in the industry - underpaid, poorly trained, poorly motivated care givers. While there are a few motivated, top notch people on staff, most are just doing what they have to and incidents of poor care are common. It is essential that the family carefully monitor the care and immediately and consistently bring up concerns with management. You cannot assume that they know what they are doing and are doing the right thing. Weekends and nights are typically the worst since the staff is minimal and in general less knowledgeable and conscientious than weekdays.

If your broadband speeds have been dipping lately, you've noticed performance issues or you're just curious how fast your connection is, read our free guide to using speed tests. You can also call our switching service on 0800 542 4704 for advice on getting the fastest broadband in your area.
Fed up with slow broadband? Call us free on
0800 542 4704 and switch to a faster service.
Important: The speed checker will measure
results at your current location, so wait until you are home and
connected to your home network before beginning to check your
broadband speeds.
Broadband speed tests are a quick and easy way to find out if
your service is giving you the speeds you signed up for. All it
takes is the simple click of a button and the broadband speed
checker will start testing your connection, by sending a request
('ping') to your server and measuring the time it takes to receive
a response.
Download speeds
When you download content from the web, for instance a music
file or video clip, the speed at which you receive this information
is measured in Megabits per second (Mbps). The higher your download
speeds, the faster you can receive information.
Slow download speeds might impact your experience when streaming
videos from BBC iPlayer, listening to music on Spotify or trying to
download tracks from iTunes. You can pretty much forget streaming
movies from services like Love Film to your PlayStation 3 or
internet-enabled TV if your download speeds are very slow. Anything
above 14.7Mbps is better than the current national average, and
should allow you to perform most online tasks without
Upload speeds
Upload speeds are also measured in Mbps. They tell you how
quickly you can send information to the internet, for example, when
you add video clips to Facebook or the images to your blog or
Twitter account. The faster your upload speeds, the quicker your
content will appear online. Upload speeds are usually much slower
than download speeds - anything above 2Mbps is acceptable on a
standard broadband connection.
Are your actual download and upload speeds slower than you were
expecting and significantly lower than the 'up to' speeds that were
advertised for your package? If this is impacting on your online
experience and causing delays to content loading or download times,
you may be paying over the odds for a service that isn't fast
enough to meet your needs.
There are many factors that can cause your broadband to slow
down. If you live far from your nearest telephone exchange, this is
likely to make the performance worse. If you and your next door
neighbour signed up to the same broadband deal for the same price,
one of you might receive a faster connection and the other will
have to put up with a slightly slower one, simply because one
household is located closer to the exchange.
Your speeds may slow down significantly during peak hours. These
are the times when a wave of internet users logs on to browse the
web, for example right after work. Generally, your broadband is
likely to be slower between 5pm and 10pm on a weekday. This
rise in internet activity forces providers to slow down their
overall download speeds in order to provide an equal service to all
of their customers.
While there can be occasional drops in speeds due to service
issues, if you take several speed tests on consecutive days and
discover that your actual speeds are nowhere near what was
advertised, it's time to call your provider and ask them to
troubleshoot your connection.

Companies across many industries can anticipate a positive experience and exceptional results when they partner with Illumiti to implement SAP Business All-in-One. This is especially true of General Contractors, Heavy/Highway Contractors, and specialty trade commercial Contractors. SAP Business All-in-One is a fully integrated Enterprise Resource Planning solution. It is a great fit for midsize and larger companies in the United States and Canada interested in the comprehensive functionality of SAP's Business Suite, but who would like to invest less and implement a solution more quickly.
SAP Business All-in-One has comprehensive functionality, but does not force companies to purchase and implement applications they do not need. Construction Accounting, Customer Management, and Service Management modules are all available on a standalone basis; Estimating, Bid Management, Project Scheduling, and Construction Project Management can be included within a customized suite of applications.
SAP Business All-in-One can be implemented either on-premise or web-based, and is Mac and iPad compatible. It includes preset with "out of the box" configurations to allow it to be put in place quickly, in some cases as little as eight weeks; it can also integrate easily with existing tools like Excel, Office, and Lotus Notes.
Illumiti has been in business since 2000 and offers a team of consultants averaging 10 years experience implementing SAP solutions. They have the expertise to help large, multi-dimensional companies hit the ground running. Illumiti was named the 2013 SAP Top Channel Partner for Marketing Best Practices in North America. They were also recognized as Business All-in-One Partner of the Year in Canada for four straight years.

Not at this time.
I like SAP because it makes my job life more easier to get the important tasks done in a timely manner. Our organization can also create custom made reports to fit each department's needs. It is a fast system, up to date, and works very well for me and my job responsibilities.
You have to open separate windows to do multiple tasks. I wish I do multiple job tasks all on one session instead of opening numerous sessions to do more than one task. I may need the other window open to review some information and cannot do all that on the same window.

This product is a leading option for any organization that needs to control processes and streamline workflow; great platform for your customer driven solutions.
It's all in one provision, there aren't any other software solutions as expensive and defined as SAP Business ERP
It can be cumbersome until sufficient experience and training is provided for a user
Walk into this one slowly with much consultation from others who have suitable field experience

I am using SAP for several of our customers to do transactions directly in their systems. SAP is relatively easy to learn and has a lot of features and options for customization. Each of our customers have a different way of processing the same type of transaction so for an outplant user it can end up being a lot to keep track off.
There is a lot of traceability so finding and correcting issues is easy and takes minimal research.
Highly customizable, covers all areas of the company, many reporting options
Many steps to each transaction, will almost always need to be customized.

We currently use a number of in-house developed and off the shelf products to manage our various businesses. Although we are using SAP for a small portion of our business we have taken a large step in trying to make SAP our primary system. This is our 2nd attempt to implement SAP and the reason why we are once again proceeding with this is to streamline our accounting practices and reduce the number of accounting systems we currently use. A more comprehensive review can be provided after our implementation is completed.
Multiple modules provided with the base package. Acquire one system get all the integrated systems you need.
We have been waiting a long time to upgrade to new SAP version but typical to software applications this has taken an extremely long time. We have now been advised that that the new version of software is avail for uploading.
It takes time to implement - doesn't happen over night.

It is a great product for manufacturers, for our distribution needs, I was not impressed

It's ability to upgrade. There are several options to bolt on other versions and to use third party softwares with this product.
It doesn't work all that great with other Erps. On the chance that it does work, there are wife of few issues that come along with it.

I liked the ease of navigation. It is nice to swap screens without loosing information
I do nit like that it wants you to update pricing every 6 months. A customer get's special pricing and I would like it to stay that way. I now owna small business and wish there was a more cost efficient version for a small number of users.
If you need a software to keep background information for customers easily accessible, this is a great program. If you need to track serial or lot numbers, this is a great program. If you need to have licenses or regulatory items verified before sales, this is a great program. If you don't watch it, the pricing will change in 6 months. There may be a setting to change this time frame, but I did not see it

So widely deployed you can google it in even some of the more detailed areas.
Sap just stopped innovating. All their attempts just seem to be more superficial or just infrastructure (e.g. Net weaver or Hana)
I suspect their installed base tied their hands to make any real changes but they have only now made a marginal effort for S4.
Try to actually look at the product instead of just powerpoints or strategy slides.

SAP is a powerful piece of software. You get out of it what you put in to it. If you want detailed reporting then be prepared for detailed data entry.
SAP looks and feels like a piece of outdated software, although I believe that it is not. It is hard to navigate and unless you know all of the Transaction codes that you need to use.
Remember that it is powerful even though it seems that it is not.

Whether I am performing a day-to-day task or utilizing the software to solve a complex problem, SAP meets my needs.
I have no dislikes when working with this program. Really a great software to have for my business.
Before choosing a software, take a step back and look at the type of work you will be doing on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.

I love that the inventory is so easy to do now that we use SAP Business One - All in One. The system communicates with other warehouses who drop ships for us and it is just so convenient.
I couldn't say much negative about this software however the only thing I can think off to be improved is the training manuals.
I recommend more learning to get familiar with all of the functions of the software to make it easier for yourself in the future.
Jason from Warren General Hospital

This product made everything available at the click of a button using one program. It was a great tool to manage accounts while being linked to each transaction (with copies of invoices, etc.). Their program support is always very helpful.
Everything they did was a great help, and I had no complaints.
Let SAP know what you need and they can make this product work for you and your business.

I had read that this PS was rated the best plastic surgeon many years in a row in NH. I hadn't known anyone personally who had gone to him but I heard through friends of friends that he did a great job. I would very highly recommend him. His bedside manner was excellent. Whenever I had any questions or concerns before and after surgery himself and his staff were excellent. There was never a wait when I went to see him. Overall, I had an excellent experience.

The Roosters weren't caught napping
It can't have hurt the Roosters to see Souths crash out of the finals on Friday night. It was a reminder, if they needed one, that progress to the grand final would have to be earned solely during the 80 minutes against Newcastle and not through any accumulation of cheers, backslaps and high-fives built up through a stellar season. And the result never really looked in doubt. While it took them until the 31st minute to score (through flamingo Daniel Tupou's graceful mark above Akuila Uate) they threatened from the outset. Newcastle were like the boy at the dyke having such a desperate time trying to hold back the floodwaters with his fingers that he not only had to take off his shoes and socks but unbuckle his belt too.
It was on the fringes of the ruck that the Roosters opened up the game by punching holes in the Knights' defence (though a blatant forward pass by Sonny Bill Williams sparked the second try). And that allowed for some broken field play that suited James Maloney, Mitchell Pearce and Michael Jennings, who's reveled since his move from the mountains to the sea. Hooker Jake Friend was also an instrumental figure, as were Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, whose channeled aggression tested Newcastle (and, accidentally it appeared, Danny Buderus's cranium), and Aidan Guerra, who doesn't make headlines but instead made four line breaks, 12 tackle breaks, 32 tackles and ran a phenomenal 218m. The Roosters look ready to give the grand final a good shake.
Glenn Stewart makes things happen
In a game increasingly populated with the kind of genetically-engineered physical specimens created by comic book military scientists in order to obliterate foreign armies, Manly back-rower Glenn Stewart (like his captain Jamie Lyon) is a reminder that there's no replacing a pure footballer. Line him up next to Sonny Bill Williams or a Burgess and he'd look like George Costanza, but the man has the hands and brain of a pure footballer. He just knows how to play. Sure, he had a terrible first 20 minutes against Souths on Friday night (an early high shot on Burgess gave away two points, then his missed tackled on John Sutton conceded a try), but it was his toe-poke behind the line that set up a try for his brother Brett and launched Manly's comeback. And from that point the ball-playing lock was an instrument for good (for Manly). Only a mighty tackle from Greg Inglis prevented him scoring himself but he went on to play his part in Manly's comeback and in two of their tries, those to Lyon and David Williams. Manly would have been mightily relieved that the match review committee cleared him to take on the Roosters.
No one has a divine right to a premiership
South Sydney's resurgence over the past few years has appealed to rugby league romantics and the media's preference for classic fairytales. Here were Souths, one-time rugby league royalty, back on their feet and seemingly destined to rule again after decades in the wilderness; decades spent sleeping in dank caves, stealing clothes from people's backyards under the cover of darkness, and eating rats over open fires. Then along comes king-maker Russell Crowe, a hot bath, a close shave, and a glamorous coterie of *cough, cough* supporters like Tom Cruise and the Dalai Lama, and it seemed it was Souths' destiny to reclaim the throne. The problem is, after the way their season petered out against Manly, you can't help wonder if they believed it themselves – and in doing so were short of the necessary fire to compete for 80 minutes against the magnificent Sea Eagles. "This wasn't in the script," said the face of Crowe in the crowd, while Sam Burgess seemed on the verge of tears when interviewed on the field after the match. "It's not what we deserved," he said, doing nothing to dispel the sense that Souths had a sense of expectation. Now they'll be watching the grand final from home. If they can bring themselves to turn on the TV.
Inglis's injury helped scupper Souths
Okay, only Souths will truly know if an ultimately debilitating sense of destiny was behind their loss on Friday night. It seems surer, however, that the posterior cruciate ligament injury suffered by Greg Inglis during the State of Origin decider in July played a telling role (as did Origin in general). Since that injury the Rabbitohs' fullback has not been the same player in attack (although he's been a colossus in defence, as he was again on Friday night). Consequently South Sydney have not been quite the same team. Inglis scored 12 tries in his 14 matches prior to that injury. In the six games after it, he scored just two. But it wasn't just his tries Souths missed. It was his barnstorming kick returns and his potent injection into the backline that had opposition defences scrambling like seaman on a naval destroyer as a torpedo fizzes their way. Over the season Inglis average about 12 runs per game. However, prior to Origin 1 he ran an average of 173m per match. After Origin 1, that average fell dramatically to 121m. After the injury, it was down to 115m. They're telling numbers.
There's an odd smell – but where's it coming from?
The old adage that when Souths are going well the game is going well has hardly been borne out this season. And despite the excellent finals series we've seen so far, crowds have been terrible. Just 44,000 to see Souths and Manly on Friday night? What gives? Manly fans, as we know, are tethered to the peninsula by fear of the unknown ('Here be Dragons!' read maps found in Manly schoolrooms identifying areas outside the peninsula), but where were all the Souths fans, bandwagoners or otherwise? On Saturday night Newcastle and the Sydney Roosters managed only 37,000 (and, embarrassingly for the Roosters, it was the home fans who appeared to be outnumbered). What should we read into such crowd figures, which echo a year-long trend. And what to make of lower TV ratings this season?
Many theories have been put forward. It's the shadow of drugs over the game. It's fundamental rule changes, like the abolishment of the shoulder charge. It's the wrestling in the ruck. The predictability of play (five sets, kick, repeat). It's too many interchanges taking fatigue out of the game (and subsequently reducing the impact of smaller, nippier players). It's the lack of biff. It's too much biff. It's ticket prices. Food prices. Sydney traffic. Long-range TV scheduling. It's the poor form of crowd-pulling clubs like St George Illawarra, Wests Tigers, Parramatta. It's sleeve tattoos. It's News Ltd's negative reporting. It's Twitter (giving a platform to some who shouldn't be let near one). It's George Rose's Speedos. The list goes on. Whatever it is, whatever combination of ailments is troubling the game, the NRL needs to get on top of it. There's a smell about the game we love, and it's a worrying one.
