What would you do if you woke up one morning, and you couldn't remember what happened the night before? What if you soon found out that you'd been made into a military weapon, your body being enhanced by synthetics? Now, you've become... superhuman...
Warmth washed over my blanket-covered body as my eyes fluttered open gently, allowing rays of bright golden sunshine to assault my vision through the only window in my small, rectangular room. I rose from my old, creaky bed and rubbed the sleep from my bright blue eyes while I headed for my bathroom. I walked slowly, dragging my feet across the dark carpeting. When I got into the bathroom, I inspected myself in the long, circular mirror that hung on the wall inches above the stainless steel sink.
In the mirror stood a teenage kid, about fourteen years old with locks of curly blond hair that tumbled to cover his forehead. He tilted his head and ran his slender fingers through his hair and traced his angular features with his other hand. The boy then ran his hand down his arms--he was strong, but not visibly so. This kid was me: Aldric Cavelguid.
I started to brush my teeth, attempting to recall the events of last night. I found the strangest thing happened to me. I couldn't.
Every time I tried to replay the events of my night, I only saw dark, thickening fog, like there was nothing to remember. My memory was clouded, and I couldn't even remember how whether or not I'd gone out to a movie or something with my friends. I washed out my mouth and went back into my room, shedding my clothes so I could put on new ones. The alarm clock that sat on my white bedside table blinked the numbers: 10:03.
After I had pulled on a white shirt, I laced a black belt through the dark jeans I'd just put on, and I sauntered over to my door, padding barefoot down the empty hallway down the spiralling hardwood stairway. I stepped into the kitchen and found my mom making pancakes next to my dad, who was trying to make bacon. I laughed quietly to myself at the failure of a cook who was my father.
"Morning," I said as I sat on the couch in the living room. Out kitchen was placed so that you could see out from it into the living room, which was the room righ next door. There was no door, only spaces where you could just step out into the other rooms. My mother peered over the plants next to the stove to see me.
"Good morning, Aldric," she said with a smile. "Pancakes?"
"Yes, please," I replied. My parents were always like this for me. Always so nice and outgoing.
"Morning, son," my dad said.
"Hey dad!" I answered. "Umm, guys? I have a question." I didn't want to say, I don't remember anything I did last night, can you refresh my memory? so I had to play it cool.
"Yes?" asked my mom while she dished out pancakes onto a glass plate.
"I was hanging out with Nick last night, correct?" I asked. That should be a given. Nick was my best friend, after all.
"You two went to see a movie."
"Which one?"
She turned and looked at me, confused. "I don't know. Why?"
"I was checking to see if you paid enough attention to me. Uh, can he come over later one today? We made plans to hang out." What I'd really meant was: Can Nick come over? I need to talk to him seeing as I can't seem to remember anything that happened last night, not even what fricking movie we saw.
"I don't see why not," she replied. Nick was two years older than me, but he was the first person I'd talked to after I'd moved here from Phoenix. I still missed Arizona, and all of my friends, but withing two months, Nick and I had become best friends.
I went and sat down at the table as my mother put down a plate of pancakes in front of me. Just as she did, my cell phone rang. It was in my pocket, meaning that I'd worn these jeans last night. I found three strange things. One, there was a large hole where my knee poked through. Two, there was a paper in my pocket with the address of a camera photo building with a not on the back that said: You'll see what has become of you. Just tell them your name.
Third, when I picked up the phone, I heard Nick's voice on the other line. "Hey, Aldric? Did we hang out last night?"

Average Price: $20.00
A fairly good concealer but Make Up For Ever's Lift Concealer is much more effective at a similar price point! Although I like the light water-based consistency of this product (and the fact that it blends incredibly well!), I did find that I had to apply more pressed powder under my eyes to maintain a bright appearance. It does tend to fade a bit after a long day but for shorter periods of 4-6 hours, it holds up very well. As with any concealer though, I would personally recommend using this product after foundation. Pretty average performance for its price point although I am a bit fan of the tiny nose on the applicator.
Great concealer, it covers marks left my blemishes really well and is even better when it is set by a powder. There are a lot of shades to choose from which makes it easy to find the perfect shade
This product is really great. It matches my skin tone almost perfectly and blends really well. It lasts all day and doesn't collect in the creases of your skin. It's creamy and doesn't dry out your skin. It can rub off easily if you don't apply a primer first. A big plus is that a whole tube can last you a very long time because you don't need to apply a lot to get the coverage that you need.
When I first purchased this concealer I was excited about the coverage. After using it for a week or so I realized that the texture was not for me, it's too watery.
For the cost of this Mac product I really did expect a lot more from it. Had to use a lot to make it work
The price is fine, considering this is a high end product. It appeared to look good at first, but I found it would look very dry and flaky close-up (I have dry/combination skin). My biggest problem with this concealer was that when I used it to cover blemishes, it seemed to break me out even more, then I used more to cover the new ones, and it just continually got worse until I stopped using the product. I typically only get hormonal acne, but this appeared to make it worse for a few weeks following.
I am very on the fence with this product, I usually love Mac products but this didn't really cover up what needed to be concealed. It works well if you did not have very red blemishes but either than that I personally would not recommend.
This concealer is absolutely amazing! I have normal-dry skin and it is the only concealer I have found that goes on smoothly and doesn't inflame my dry skin. Ive searched high and low and tried many cheaper drugstore versions, and they just do not cut it! It may be a bit more expensive than I would like but it is definitely worth the splurge.
hard to find a colour that fits and it doesn't cover very well.
Average. Don't feed into the hype. You can find a drugstore concealer better than this.

Loving Anger~Mature
It's funny, we argued and straight after.. in fact, we hadn't even really stopped 'arguing' at this point.. but I turned to my mum and said "there's so much love between us" and proceeded to tell her about the way we just look at each other.. without needing to talk.. because there's just nothing to say, no way to explain what's in our heads - that's why I don't talk anyway, my mind can't put into words the way I feel..
It's as though it's too big.. the feeling. I can't say I love you because that's too.. well, small. We've been saying that since we started talking on msn! We were saying "I love you" before we were even together and so it just doesn't feel like enough..
That's why sometimes I end up going "IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou" because.. it's not enough!~
The trouble with me is that I am argumentative and that's the problem with anyone who dates me.. they're not.
I like to be fought..
I like people to yell at me and I like them to make me cry and I like to hurt.. (but only if it's all because they argued with me, not because they didn't)
It was a massive downfall of every relationship I've ever been in..
Especially recently..
Jacob didn't fight or argue, he didn't want to hurt people.
Matt had spent his life arguing with his mother, good had never come of that and so he didn't like to argue.
Claire, for lack of a nickname, did not like to argue or fight or anything.. it made her mad when I tried to argue with her and then she would generally just.. explode...
Jacob and I didn't actually have many problems.. and actually, he didn't like arguing but we did argue... all. the. time.
As for Matt, I got extremely upset with him when he didn't argue.. and mad. There were times when I would be yelling at him and he would be saying he loved me:
"I DON'T WANT YOUR F*CKING LOVE." And things of the likes would come blurted from my lips. It just.. it made me so mad. I didn't want to be told things would be okay, I didn't want apologies about the girl or explanations that nothing would ever happen.. I just wanted a fight. I wanted him to yell back at me because I didn't have the right to cry over the girl but I would have the right to cry over a fight.. that was how it felt.. but he wouldn't fight, he just apologised.. he just made me feel worse, blame myself more.. hoorah for self-loathing!
Claire and I really didn't fight.. the worst non-fight being the last one I remember... -sighs- she didn't like fighting. She was exactly like Matt.. and Jacob actually.. put them both together and that was her, she didn't want to hurt anybody and she felt they didn't help anyone..
But fights help me..
It's selfish but I like that I feel better after. After yelling and screaming and crying.. I feel better, I feel happier. And ultimately I feel closer to them.
Because they cared enough to fight me back.
That was always a massive problem..
"Isn't it worth it?"
Meaning aren't I worth it? Aren't we worth it?
Isn't what we have worth fighting for?
Downfall time.
Because when they didn't fight, that's what I thought..
They always said they didn't want to fight because they loved me but.. they didn't love me enough to fight for me?
And then there was guilt.. I felt so guilty for getting angry at them.. I just wanted them to get angry back.. to stop the guilt being quite so intense..
And then, on top of everything else, I do genuinely enjoy arguing..
I love the throwing insults back and forth, yelling, screaming, crying..
This is probably why Kitten and I get on so well, because we're both argument wh*res..
You've seen us fight right? I always turn around with a smile on my face.. I love it!
There's so much love in an argument..
That's probably why I argue with my mother so much~
Hate and love are very close emotions, my love.

Seven (New) Things We Learned from Robert Gates
Robert Gates, who served as U.S. Secretary of Defense from 2006 to 2011 and is also the former Director of Central Intelligence, talks about his new book, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary At War, and his reflections from the Bush and Obama administrations.
Seven Things Robert Gates Told Us That You're Not Hearing Him Say Everywhere Else
On Thursday's show, David Sanger of the New York Times follows up on some of Gate's comments.
Hillary Clinton Is a Surprising Hawk Gates says he'd never met Hillary Clinton until they were both part of the Obama administration, but that their first meeting convinced him she was more hawkish than he'd anticipated -- he found her to be "very tough-minded."
George Bush Was This Close to Bombing Iran Military strikes against Iran were seriously considered under George W Bush, mostly in reaction to Iranian influence in Iraq. "When the president said all options were on the table, he meant that." Gates says he was opposed because he felt there was more time to increase pressure through sanctions, and that "we were already in two major wars."
He's Ambivalent About the New Iran Deal The Obama administration was "completely correct" in sitting at the table to negotiate with Iran, says Gates, and this deal shows the sanctions strategy "has probably worked." But he says the test is what comes next. Gates insists that sticking to a six-month deadline is key, and that "what might be useful is for the congress to pass significant additional sanctions, triggered only by the failure of the negotiations."
Leakers - But Not Journos - Should Be Prosecuted "We shouldn't make reporters the targets of leak investigations," says Gates. But he thinks Edward Snowden should face trial, as he's the one who "breached trust."
We Won Iraq (Depending on How You Define "Win") Gates says that "since the Korean War we've found that it's very difficult to have outright victories." But, in 2008, with the "narrow objectives of handing over a stable state that's relatively secure, with a fledgling democracy... we were successful in our mission." Gates says that "you can't freeze history," and acknowledges that the country has slid backwards since.
The NSA Has Actually Been Transparent Gates insists that "there has been no allegation of wrong-doing" regarding NSA programs, and that the agency has actually been "diligent in keeping Congress informed" of the nature of their programs. He says the question for Congress coming on the heels of the Snowden revelations is whether in "the application" of these programs the NSA went too far.
He's Fine With Criticizing a Sitting President Gates has received push-back for writing about a sitting president under whom he served. But he says his goal is to show a "polarized Washington" how he was successful, and influence issues of "war and peace" (Iran, Russia, China) where he thinks we "are to quick to go to the gun," in many cases.

Former Scottish Socialist Party leader Tommy Sheridan was today convicted of lying during his defamation case against the News of the World.
The jury of 12 women and two men deliberated for six and a half hours before finding Sheridan guilty of perjury after a 12-week trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Sheridan had been awarded £200,000 following his successful 2006 defamation action at the Court of Session in Edinburgh after the newspaper claimed he was an adulterer who visited swingers' clubs.
He was originally charged alongside his wife Gail but the charge against her was dropped last Friday.
Following the civil court action against the tabloid, Sheridan and his wife Gail, both 46, were charged with perjury.
Lothian and Borders Police launched an investigation after witnesses gave opposing accounts of what happened.
At the start of the trial in October Sheridan faced 18 allegations, which were reduced by the prosecution to six.
The court heard from a succession of high-ranking members of the SSP who said Sheridan had confessed to attending a swingers' club in Manchester on two occasions.
Sheridan always maintained his innocence and claimed there was a vendetta against him.
Judge Lord Bracadale warned the court to be silent as the verdict was delivered. When Sheridan finished his closing speech, there was a round of applause from the public benches.
Sheridan was found guilty of five allegations under one charge on the indictment.
The last remaining allegation, that he had a sexual relationship with former News of the World columnist Anvar Khan, was deleted.
In coming to their verdict, the 14 members of the jury ruled that: Sheridan did tell a meeting of the SSP executive committee on November 9 2004 that he had visited Cupids in Manchester in 1996 and 2002 with Ms Khan; he did not deny visiting a swingers' club in Manchester at the same meeting; that party members Keith Baldassara and Alan McCombes did state at the meeting that they had previously raised the issue of him attending a sex club in Manchester with him and that he admitted that it was true; that he did visit Cupids with Andrew McFarlane, Gary Clark, Ms Khan and Katrine Trolle on September 27 2002; that he did have a sexual relationship with Katrine Trolle between January 1 and December 31 2005.
Lord Bracadale told Sheridan that when he returns for sentencing on January 26, he could expect to be given a prison sentence.
Following the majority verdict, Advocate Depute Alex Prentice moved for sentencing, giving a short biography of Sheridan's political career and mentioning previous convictions for breach of the peace.
Sheridan told the jury himself how he had spent time in jail after his protest against the Poll Tax and nuclear weapons.
Lord Bracadale requested background reports and said any submissions by Sheridan could be made at the sentencing hearing next month.
The judge told Sheridan: "You have been convicted of the serious offence of perjury and must return to court expecting to begin a prison sentence."
He excused the jury from service for eight years, telling them it had been a "long and arduous" trial.
Speaking outside court, Gail Sheridan said: "I would like to thank everybody from across Scotland for their wonderful support throughout the last six years that they've given to Tommy and I.
"Our family and our real friends, our real friends, have stood by us. I have and will always stand by Tommy."
Sheridan was released on bail until January 26 but did not speak as he left the court.
His solicitor Aamer Anwar said: "As Tommy Sheridan's solicitor, I have a statement to make on his behalf:
"For three years my wife and I have faced charges of perjury.
"Today, I was convicted and Gail was acquitted of any crime. I have fought the power of News International all my political life and I make no apologies for taking on the might of Rupert Murdoch.
"Several million pounds of public money was spent investigating me and my wife. Is it not time that similar resources were devoted to investigating the activities of the News of the World?
"I want to thank all of those who have shown us kindness and solidarity. There will be no further statement until sentencing on January 26."
Detective Chief Superintendent Malcolm Graham, of Lothian and Borders Police, said: "This was a long and complex inquiry, carried out by Lothian and Borders Police after a High Court judge stated he was of the opinion that witnesses in a civil case had lied.
"The comments of Lord Turnbull, the presiding judge at the civil case in 2006 where Tommy Sheridan sued the News of the World publication for defamation, ultimately led to Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) instructing Lothian and Borders Police to conduct an inquiry.
"The investigation was into a number of witnesses who had given evidence in that civil case. One of these witnesses was Tommy Sheridan, who at that time was an elected member of the Scottish Parliament. His wife, Gail Sheridan, was also one of the witnesses investigated."
Mr Graham went on: "The force has a duty to make proportionate and reasonable inquiries into allegations of criminal misconduct which are brought to its attention.
"At every stage of the investigation, Lothian and Borders Police acted on the direction of COPFS.
"All of the evidence from the civil action brought by Mr Sheridan was considered and inquiries made it clear that perjured evidence had been given during the civil hearing.
"I would like to acknowledge the hard work of the police officers and police staff who helped to bring this inquiry to a successful conclusion."
Sheridan's mother, Alice, left the court with supporters and said her son and his wife would remain strong.
Mrs Sheridan said: "Tommy copes with everything, she'll cope very well too. We're all a family, we'll stick together.
"I'll cope - that's my son, he's done nothing but good for people all his life. I'll cope with that."
Supporters, flanked by police, members of the public and press, jostled with each other along the icy road between the court and car park.
Chants erupted of "innocent", "Tommy", and "show trial". Police were forced to keep people apart as a ring of supporters tightened around Sheridan.
Traffic stopped as the crowd crossed to the car park where Sheridan got behind the wheel of a car and drove off with his wife.
Sheridan is the co-convener of Solidarity - the party he helped set up after splitting from the SSP in the wake of his original defamation case.
A spokesman for the left-wing party backed Sheridan, claiming: "Tommy Sheridan's only crime has been to speak truth to power for as long as he has been involved in socialist politics.
"For over four long years, Tommy, his wife, their family and other members of Solidarity have found themselves under investigation by the police and the crown office following his libel victory over The News of the World in 2006.
"During this time and despite the pressure we have found ourselves under, Solidarity as a party has remained united and committed to raising socialist arguments and campaigning on the issues that matter to ordinary people."
The spokesman said that as an MSP between 1999 and 2007 Sheridan had been a "fantastic advocate on behalf of the poor, the disadvantaged, the vulnerable and the working-class of Scotland"
He added: "He is a working-class fighter who has waged war on poverty and injustice wherever he has found it.
"We in Solidarity are proud to call ourselves comrades and friends of Tommy Sheridan."
A statement read by Scottish News of the World editor Bob Bird said: "We are pleased that justice has been done and that Mr Sheridan's perjury has been proved.
"As is now clear, Mr Sheridan lied to a court to secure victory when he sued the News of the World for defamation in 2006.
"We have an appeal lodged against that defamation verdict and we now look forward to that appeal succeeding in Scotland's Court of Session.
"Meanwhile, we thank the police for the thoroughness of their investigation and the jury for the care they took in listening to testimonies from some 40 prosecution witnesses.
"These witnesses came from all walks of life, social classes and political views. Most were not News of the World readers. Many bravely exposed their lives to public scrutiny and we praise their steadfastness.
"The News of the World has a proud history of exposing the hypocrisy and lies of the powerful.
"Today's verdict is a vindication of good investigative journalism. We hope and expect our successful appeal to bring an end to this matter."

Poet # Nine
Cupid's arrow struck my heart through
The moment I laid eyes on you.
Immediately then, I realized
That I would forever love you.
Do you even know I exist?
It is quite doubtful you do.
This doesn't matter to me though
For I will forever love you
I know everything there is to know
Your birthday, hobbies, shampoo-
You don't even know my first name
But I will forever love you.
I watch you hour upon hour
My eyes stuck to you like glue.
You're funny, intelligent, handsome-
Yes, I will forever love you.
I know I have some competition
For your admirers are not few.
However, I couldn't care less
That they will forever love you.
They are the six million others
That subscribe to your channel too-
We are your YouTube fan base
And we will all forever "love" you.

The Ian Bell Supporters' Club will enjoy this. Cricinfo's stats editor S Rajesh looks at the varying productivity of the No6 slots for England and Australia (and other teams) in recent years.
Hoppsy's MCG verdict
David Hopps's tweet on today's action at the MCG: "England fast bowlers shoot-out at the MCG. Not many dead."
One-day squad
England have announced their one day squad for the two T20s and five ODIs that follow the Ashes and precede the World Cup:
Andrew Strauss (Middlesex, ODI captain, ODI squad only), Paul Collingwood (Durham, T20 captain), James Anderson (Lancashire), Ian Bell (Warwickshire), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Steven Davies (Surrey), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Craig Kieswetter (Somerset, T20 squad only), Kevin Pietersen (Surrey), Ajmal Shahzad (Yorkshire), Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire), James Tredwell (Kent), Chris Tremlett (Surrey), Jonathan Trott (Warwickshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Luke Wright (Sussex), Michael Yardy (Sussex)
English beer is better than Australian beer
The Full Toss blog argues:
Mike Beer has only played five first class matches and taken sixteen wickets at an average of forty. His record is therefore inferior to that of Sussex's spin prospect, Will Beer, who has played a similar number of games yet is as close to England selection as Warney is to a comeback. In other words, not very.
For the record, here are 26-year-old Michael Beer's stats and here is 22-year-old Will's record
Ashes reality check
Just to recap the last couple of days for those who think that the Ashes are as good as over: England's top scorer in the last Test was caught speeding in a sports car loaned to him by Australia's biggest cheerleader; England's main strike bowler is back in England for the birth of his child; England's other opening bowler is back in England for the rest of the Ashes with a stomach injury; and his three potential replacements took one wicket between them today.
Ashes podcast of the day
Some downbeat Aussies on World Cricket Watch's One Hand One Bounce podcast.
Vaughan says England can be Number One
Former England captain Michael Vaughan tells the Telegraph that England could become the best team in the world. Then he remembers that the score is still only 1-0 and adds:
But before we start popping the champagne corks it is worth remembering things can change quickly in Test cricket.
But, to my mind, this was the most fascinating paragraph:
Throughout my period as captain I reckon I managed to get 80 per cent of the players to buy into what we were trying to do, but there was always 20 per cent moaning and not doing what we wanted. It was hard to monitor.
Unsung heroes
Mike Selvey has been waxing lyrical about Steven Finn and Vic Marks on the virtues of Matt Prior.
Lord Selvey uses his expertise on quick bowlers run-ups to conclude: "The right approach and Steven Finn can be a Typhoon."
This is my favourite paragraph in a fascinating read:
The run-up is, of course, an integral part of bowling. Its main purpose is to best prepare the bowler to deliver the ball at his best. It should be neither so short that he has not reached optimum velocity or mental preparedness, nor so long that it becomes energy-sapping to no additional purpose. It can be intimidatory too: in the last Test he played at The Oval, in 1984, Holding, off a shorter run in those days, suddenly went back to his old one and sent England into a panic, taking five for 43. Afterwards Jeff Dujon, the keeper, said he had bowled no faster. It was a con, a brilliant piece of theatre.
In case you missed this yesterday, Marks on "Team spirit keeps low-profile Matt Prior on a high".
Congratulations Jimmy
James Anderson's wife Daniella has given birth to a baby girl, reports David Hopps. No word yet on the baby's name. Maybe he's waiting to see your suggestions.
Australia order Beer
Australia's search for a spinner has not taken them back to Shane Warne, but has seen them follow his tip for the Waca. Earlier this week Warne said: "I'm flattered that people want me to return in the Ashes for Australia, but I'd go for Michael Beer."
And so Australia have. David Hopps reports:
Michael Beer was the third-choice spin bowler for Victoria a year ago and his chances of ever playing first-class cricket were receding, but he moved to Western Australia and now finds himself in Australia's Test 12 on his home ground at the Waca.
Beer is the first Australian spin bowler to be plucked from obscurity for at least two weeks, replacing another slow-left armer, Xavier Doherty, the last player to be unfortunate enough to be asked to look the Warne legend in the eye.
Australia squad for third Test, Perth, December 16-20:
Ricky Ponting (capt)
Shane Watson
Phillip Hughes
Michael Clarke
Michael Hussey
Brad Haddin
Steven Smith
Mitchell Johnson
Ryan Harris
Peter Siddle
Michael Beer
Ben Hilfenhaus
Katich is injured, while Marcus "Alan" North and Doug "The Rug" Bollinger have been dropped.
So an alternative headline, suggested by thegurge is:
Working class Aussies give up Bollinger for Beer
But who will England pick?
With Stuart Broad missing the rest of the tour, England's reserve seamers are in a shoot-out for his spot. Although it is likely that Andy Flower and Andrew Strauss already know who they want, none of the contenders covered themselves in glory as Victoria scored 216-2 declared at the MCG.
Tim Bresnan was the only seamer to take a wicket, reports David Hopps with Monty Panesar the other. There were, however, several dropped catches.
Several England players have been rested for this game, including Kevin "Lamborghini" Pietersen.

First day in New York
July 3rd-4th An early morning entry today, as I didn't get round to doing it last night. Yesterday was stressful, I made it to the airport just, as the electric power cable fell onto the train during the trip to the airport. We sat on the train for an hour. They then got us off the train and we had a long wait for a bus which took us to the next station, and then we had to get another train. I got to the airport 2 hours 20 minutes later ...

The customizable pack that does it all.
The Osprey Aether 70 Backpack is the pack that does everything from gear-intensive weekend backpacking trips to ski tours and remote summit bids. Built with outstanding load-carrying comfort, the Aether 70 features the IsoForm CM hip belt that adds stiffness and padding for better performance with heavy loads without increasing the Aether's weight.
For support, the Aether is built with a LightWire frame and is equipped with a single aluminum stay to distribute weight to the cushioned IsoForm waist belt where the load of the pack can be more comfortably carried. In addition to a large top-loading design that swallows gear whole, Osprey equipped the pack with a large front panel zipper that can be used to access deeply buried layers, without having to dump your pack out on the trail. The top lid can be removed and is fitted with an adjustable waist belt, enabling the lid to double as a lightweight lumbar pack ideal for summit bids and quick day hikes from a remote base camp. Multiple straps along the front of the pack secure everything from ice axes for alpine missions to trekking poles during week-long treks.
- Designed for gear-intensive weekend trips and week-long treks

The absolute motherload!! It has been at nearly full capacity, using every space and compartment to its maximum carrying capacity. While cycling in and around Normandy for a month it never faltered. Used heavily while hiking in Ibiza for a month...and just last week starting in the picture attached. I need a sponsor lol ;)
I have used it in extreme cold and 50-60 pound loads, and even 65 while in the Georgia section of the AT (I do not recommend that weight on the AT.) No rips, no seams coming off (incredibly). I do however have many suggestions from someone who hikes and camps often in various conditions in regards to the frame as it does need to be improved slightly.
However overall, it's a 10 across the board with a slight 9.3 on the internal frame.
Thanks for the great review, Kip! The frame / suspension is ideal for 40-50 pounds, but more is ok too.... it's just that the Xenith Pack from Osprey is actually BUILT to handle more weight more comfortably. Glad you love your Aether!

Great multi-day pack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I recently purchased an Osprey Aether 70 (Medium) for a trip to CO for a week of backpacking.
Unboxing the pack, my first impressions were good. It feels durable, fairly light, and has plenty of space, and the straps are comfortable, both waist and shoulders.
Packing, I always have struggled to pack, I always want to bring too much, but this pack was able to hold all my extras even for my week trip. I had plenty of room for 4 changes of clothes, sleeping clothes, rain wear, complete 2 person tent, sleeping bag w/pad, ENO, food, water, and toiletries and first aid.
Use, During the trip carrying the roughly 38 pounds wasn't as brutal as I had imagined, once I got it positioned correctly. The pack held up very well in the brush and scraping against rocks. I didn't encounter any rain but it did get snowed on and dried quickly in the sun the next day.
Overall I am very pleased with this bag as it had all the pockets and space I could ask for, the durability and the comfort added to my liking and finally the price is very competitive for similar packs.
Thank you so much, Christopher - great photo!

So Durable/Perfect Fit
I got this Osprey pack to do some backpacking this summer, and haven't gotten to use it quite yet. However, this pack is going to be perfect for what I am looking to use it for! The Medium fits me perfectly! (However, it is always good to get your back measured with an Osprey backpack measure to ensure the perfect fit) This Aether pack is so roomy, the LightWire frame is so comfy/supportive, and it's crazy how nice it forms to your back. Overall, this pack is awesome for someone looking for a nice spacious pack to do some hiking, camping, or backpacking with. It doesn't move around at all on me, and it's crazy how many pockets it has to offer for everything you need to take with you on your treks!
Caleb - so glad you love the Aether! Enjoy your adventures!

To early to tell, but....
This is the third Osprey pack I have purchased. The other 2 are for cycling and day hiking. This pack has a ton of room in it that I will be filling up for a Grand Teton trek later in the year. Seems to fit well. Also lots of attachment points for other gear.
Kristopher, Thank you for writing. I am going to bet, like everyone else, you will love the Aether 70! Happy Trails!

I got the 70L Medium bag (I'm 6'2" 190# fairly athletic build). Bag weighed approx 50# before started out on 35 mile hike (Yes - I over pack & i'm ok with that). The shoulder straps are very well padded & stay in place. Didn't move & don't rub. I initially thought the hip pads would be short (based on previous pack) but they fit & rode great on my hips to carry the load of the pack. They're rigid enough & feel secure but never felt uncomfortable nor "felt" the load of the pack on my hips - which is where it should be. The back is adjustable, which is great. The initial set up was good, but I played with it before the hike & adjusted it to fit my build. The back frame is more rigid than my previous pack - it was well padded & allowed for a lot of ventilation. My back didn't get sweaty or sore. It kept the straps off my shoulders. There are a lot of great pockets & access points. The pole sleeves were nice & accessible for me - didn't need help getting them off my pack where the other guys did (strapped on back of pack vs side). The pack has a lot of hooks/straps; more than i needed. The pack has enough adjustment to compensate for the various load sizes/weights to keep close & tight. I love this pack- super supportive & very comfortable.
Obviously got pretty dirty - cleaned up pretty easily with a soft brush & water.
We did encounter rain. This pack doesn't have a rain cover (not an issue - more for buyers information)
Enjoy your Aether, Mark. I pack like you do and LOVE my Ariel (women's equivalent). It's a great carry!

I have taken this pack out many times. Love the fit of the M. I am 6 ft tall. Would recommend the medium. Lasted me for many years as well.
Hey Nate - thank you for the great review! The women's Ariel is my go to for the same reason!

Versatile, stylish and rugged pack
I've had this pack for two years and used it backpacking in both snow and sun. The pack says 70l but I've stretched it to hold equivalent to roughly 80l. To start, this pack looks phenomenal, I have it in the blue and osprey has done and excellent job with a stylish and sleek design without compromising performance. The fabric is tough but lightweight and has stood up to being thrown into rocks, jabbed with pulls whilst under the plane and scraped on the bottom of busses. The water bottle holders allow for vertical and horizontal storage and are spacious enough to accommodate my nalgenes as well as one or two miscellaneous items such as my sun glass case. The only complaint I have is that the brain only has one main pocket and this often becomes slightly disorganized. The pack has plenty of room on the inside and the numerous outside compression straps give plenty of additional places to tie and lash things on. Overall I have loved this pack and it has got my needs perfectly for 3-10 day expeditions.
Works For It All!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Bought this awesome bag for my friend to take to Yosemite. He loved using it. Said it was way comfortable and easily fit everything that he needed to take on his trip!
Perfect Pack
Packed 55 lbs into this beast for a 5 mile, 4 day camping trip. Was very comfortable, even with that amount of weight. Was a perfect pack on the way out after most of the food was gone. would be an excellent back for covering some serious ground, as it packs down very nicely without feeling like it is too big of a bag. Would highly recommend.
Osprey thinks of everything which was why it was a no brainer to purchase this bag. Fits super well, very comfortable which is huge when you are packing heavy gear for a long ways. Also it has all the bells and whistles. A pocket or place for everything which is great to keep everything organized.
hi:) i am thinking about buying that bag, however it is intended for man, and i was wondering if it was comfortable for you to wear it as a woman ? i know there is the ariel 65 but i like this one better
Awesome backpack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
really recommend!!
You can live out of this!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This bag is awesome. The first time I used it was a month long trip hitting Zion, Bryce, Joshua Tree, and many other awesome places. It is big enough that you can store all of your camping gear and equipment. On one part of my trip we had to use bear canister and as the nice guy I am I volunteered to carry it. It was a pretty large container and fit perfectly in the bag along with my personal stuff. I did pawn my tent off on my buddy but other than that everything fit great in the bag.
Osprey is a awesome company and I highly suggest buying one of their packs and the Aether is a great choice for any multi day trip!!
Perfect all around pack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this pack to ice climb mt rainier. I've put it through some abuse and osprey packs are the best, particularly this one. It has space for everything you need on multi day trips and you can break it down and compact it if you are only using it for a day hike. Highly recommend
Of course Osprey
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Used only once so far, but I am sure you won't be disappointed. Feels confortable to your shoulders and back; Feel like fabric is fresh so great for long walks over the sun
You can never go wrong w/ Osprey
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great pack. Only used it a few weeks, but my most recent trip to the desert was made because of it. Just finished up backpacking in Big Bend National Park, it was awesome. The pack has plenty of room for everything you need and feels extremely durable. Highly recommended!
Picture of the size
Arguabley the best pack out there
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Osprey makes some of the THE best packs on the market. The Aether 70 will not disappoint on any long hike to wherever you are going. The breath-able frame is clutch on the hot days of summer and allowing your back to cool a little bit when needed. The foam is super comfy and the brain comes off when needed. Lots of a great features the only bummer is that the rain-fly is not included but you can't have it all. Some people like to shed that if they don't feel they need it on a hike so it's not there. Overall very stoked on this pack and you will be too!
Hey Jimmy! A-GREED!!! Love love love my Ariel 65 - the women's version.
Glad you like it!

Great long distance pack.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
One season under this packs belt and over 300 miles hiked. The true test was the 100 mile wilderness in Maine. The pack carried everything I need and some luxuries. I can carry 55 lb packs over long distances easy enough, so I brought everything I wanted. The first test was comfort with 55 lbs. Two day in and 50 miles completed, my hips were fine. No chafing of the skin and my knees were free of fatigue or soreness. So the weight distribution was good and the waist belt did great for comfort. The pack rode well even when I was running, I like to do that. After completing my summer hikes, I geared it up with my ice climbing gear and use it for mountaineering. It still looks like brand new, that's some tuff fabric they make it with. Hats off to Osprey!
Thomas, thank you so much for taking the time to write a great review!
Enjoy that pack!

Why would you pick the Atmos AG 65 over over the Aether 70? And, why would you pick the Aether 70 over the Atmos AG 65?
Hey Ed - I have used both these packs and the biggest benefit of the Atmos AG 65 is the Anti-Gravity suspension system. It is by far the most comfortable pack I have ever used. The Aether 70 will have a little more volume and is slightly taller but I would recommend the Atmos AG 65 all the way. Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions.

Has anyone carried skis with this pack?
Hey there, I have not, but have seen the pack loaded with skis on A-framed. The pack is not specifically designed to carry skis, although it can. does that make sense? So there are specific packs, like the Kode and the Variant that are designed to carry skis and do so really well. This pack, designed for backpacking can absolutely to it, just not as well as the packs that are specifically designed for the job. Hope that helps!

ok so i am a new hiker but i have always loved the outdoors and camping and such so i am ready to invest in a new backpack. I was look at the osprey aether 60 and 70 and innicially i had my heart set on the 60. Now i am realizing that the sizes the 2 models offer do may not mean what i thought they did. When the options say S, M, L does that account for the size of the actual pack or the size according to the person whereing it? Also are both these packs acceptable for women to where them. THANK YOU!
Great questions! So the S, M, L is for the torso length and effects the volume of the pack slightly.
email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I can work with you on whether a 60 or 70 liter pack is more appropriate for you.
Shoot me an email anytime you have questions!

Sophia, first of all, thanks for the question. If the pack is for you, please look at the women's version of this series, called the Ariel. Consider the Ariel 55 or 65. The torso length is what will fit you, or not! It is NOT your height! There is a sizing chart for Osprey on Backcountry, and you can measure it with those instructions. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help!
Osprey Rep
in the description it says "choose between S, M, L, and XL sizes depending on trip length and the amount of gear you carry" so does that mean that the backpack size is not dependent on the wearers height/weight but instead the size is in regards to the amount of gear it can hold? i'm 6'0 180 with size 32 legs and am having trouble deciding between a L or XL without measuring my back or trying one on personally.. ??
If you look at the size chart (located directly above the spot where you choose the size) you will be able to determine the right size for your body type. If you are borderline L of XL the " trip length and the amount of gear you carry" might affect whether or not you choose the L or XL
yes i see the size chart but i'm not able to measure myself or visit a store at the present moment so after reading the description it made me wonder if the sizing is more related to the amount of storage space or if the size is mainly related to fit.
Mainly related to fit. Someone who is 5'5" shouldn't get a XL just because it has more space
So I am actually just under 6'0'' tall and weigh in at 180 lb with a 32" inseam. I'd personally opt for the Large since your torso length is most likely right around 20"
I'd start with a Large and if that doesn't work out, let me know and I can help out some more.

I am thinking about this back pack or Arial 65. I checked the size of the backpack but not sure which size would be more comfortable for me between S and M size. My height is 5'5, and weight is 147 pounds. My body type is slim but my chest is little bit thicker than ab since I used to work out. Please help me.
You should measure your back to determine your torso length. Have a friend use a tape measure from the bony part that protrudes out right under your neck (put your head toward your chest so it's more obvious) down your spine to the iliac crest (flat shelf bone at your hips above your butt). Then compare however many inches that is to the size chart. You're chest is not a factor because there is an adjustable sternum strap.
Did you know you can fit a 5gallon bucket...
Did you know you can fit a 5gallon bucket inside this thing? Awesome! and so glad I didn't have to clip it to the outside.
What was in said 5 gallon bucket? Picture or it did not happen.
Stashed rope, crowbar, brushes, bolts, a #2 camalot, clifbar wrappers and a pickle smell...
I'm considering to get a backpack for all...
I'm considering to get a backpack for all my camping and overseas trips (I live in Singapore), and I have plans to Central / South America for about 3-6 months and maybe some winter camping in Switzerland. Which do you think is a good option of a backpack - the Osprey Aether 70 or 85, the Tatonka Escape 60, or the Northface Terra 65? So far it's been 10 over years since I last backpacked, I'm totally a novice to backpacking gear :). BTW, I'm 5' 4", about 165lbs (yes, a considerably small sized for Asian :)). Thanks for the info!
Oh yes I forgot to mention I'm also an avid fan of motorbiking in country areas.. so hopefully the backpack wouldn't stand in the way of the motorbike :). Thanks for any info here! Appreciate it :)
If you are currently in the states heres what I would do. I would order this bag in both sizes the 70 and 60 to see if your stuff fits in there. The 60 is smaller of course but, if you can fit everything in a smaller bag its going to be a lot easier for you, especially travelling. I would stay with the Aether though, great pack and Osprey is an awesome back pack manufacturer.
I really like the design of Osprey backpacks...
I really like the design of Osprey backpacks and set on getting one, but trying to decide on a 70 or 85L pack. Thinking that I would need something that could handle a 7-10 day trip max although would probably re-fuel every 4+days. Maybe for Philmont and then also for any family backpacking trips.
I'm of two minds on this:
1) If you're going to use it for family backpacking, then that extra volume can come in handy for light-but-bulky crowd pleasers (for my crowd, it's bagels). You can also choose to under pack it anytime you want. I go with slightly larger volume backs on scout campouts since i have to carry stuff that others will forget.
2) The smaller the pack, the more judicious you'll be when packing... and 70 liters really should be big enough for what you're describing.
3) if your plans include winter camping and/or you just have bulky gear, then I'd go with the larger size.
4) if you have gear that can strap to the outside (z-rest, sleeping bag in a dry bag, etc. Or if you don't carry a tent... then I'd definitely say go with the smaller pack.
There, that's four minds.
It made from China or in US. ?

What is the difference between the 2013...
What is the difference between the 2013 and 2014 models? They are different prices but i cant see any noticeable tech difference
According to Osprey the Aether 70 has not changed from last years model. Still a great pack even with the sublte price increase.
Hi, I have two questions. 1) I have been...
Hi, I have two questions. 1) I have been seriously looking at packs lately and am deciding between this in the 60 or 70 L, the Gregory Baltoro 65 pack, and the Osprey Atmos 65 pack for several 1-2 week journeys on the AT and would like to know people's thoughts on which pack would be best. (I'm posting this question here just because I'm not sure where else to post it and because the Aether is currently my top pick.) 2) When I looked at the store, I noticed that this pack has two open-ended buckles on the right side and was wondering what they are for?
That's awesome that you'll be getting after it on the AT.
So recommendations for the proper volume size for a pack can be tough. It's a little tricky since I don't know exactly what you plan on carrying but if I were you, I'd be trying to get a 50-55 liter pack. Anything 60+ Liters is a bit large in my opinion. I own a 70 liter pack (first thing I bought when I knew nothing and the dude at the local EMS told me that was what I needed. He didn't know jack, just trying to pedal product).
I hardly use my 70 liter. I'd look at 50-55 liter packs and really examine what gear you plan on taking with you and whether you really need it. Ask yourself questions about whether you need that first or second book, that third shirt or third pair of pants. Trim the gear and bring what you truly need. Plus by lightening your load, you'll have a far better experience.
In regards to your questions though, I'd immediately rule out the Gregory Baltoro 75 because it weights a whopping 5 lbs 10 ozs (size small) up to 6 lbs 2ozs (size large) which is insane. I'd also rule out the Osprey Aether 70 because weights anywhere from 4 lbs 8 ozs up to 5 lbs 3 ozs.
Out of these three options I'd lean towards the Osprey Atmos 65 due to the reduced weight.

Jared's comments are right on the mark. I would agree that a 70 liter pack is a bit big (assuming this isn't winter camping) and you'll end up filling it up just because you can.
However, if you have the discipline to NOT fill it up, I generally am happier with a slightly larger pack (like 65 liters) than Jared states. Part of this preference is that I like a tight pack with nothing hanging off of it (making noise, getting caught on stuff, etc) so I like to make sure I have the volume I need.
Jared is again right on the mark when he says to look at the weight of the pack. You can get some pretty huge numbers if you're not paying attention.
Not sure which loops/buckles you're talking about, but they might be Osprey's add-on system,?
Thanks for responding to my questions guys! this actually helps a lot and was along the lines of what I was thinking. Jared, since you were saying a 50-55 L pack would be good, I am going to guess that the extra 5 in the Aether 60 wouldn't be bad. I do like the atmos, but I was a bit concerned at the fact that it seemed to have less of the easy acess compartments and some other features than the Aether does. When I tried on the Aether 60, I admit it seemed a bit heavier but not too bad because the weight seemed to distribute well and the girl at the store recommended it the most.
To give some more details that I forgot, for the AT I am hoping to not be so much of a rookie backpacker and take everything under the sun. I was looking to at least be a little bit more minimalist and practice a few primitive skills that would lighten my pack, say by getting some of the food from nature instead of a bag.
As for the buckles that I asked about, I originally thought they might be daypack attachments, but the two half buckles are only on one side of the pack so I don't think that would make much sense.
Well, I think my options are at least narrowed down to two packs now. Thanks again for the input!!
David Thiel,
Solid points about 70 liter packs and winter hiking. Very valid as that is primarily the time that I use my 70 liter now. During the summer if it's a 2-3 day hike, I trim down to a 30 liter. I prefer to sacrifice some comfort to save a few ounces here and there. It adds up quickly! But you also have great points about a bigger pack that isn't crammed full. If it is filled but not crammed it can have great weight distribution with very little if any pressure points.
David Roth,
My apologies on skipping the buckles part of your question. I totally spaced on that!
The Aether 60 is a good option for reducing some weight but still being able to carry a load.
Just to get you thinking a little more, here's a few products I'd be looking at if I were you.
ARC3649 (48 liters)
BLD1276 (45 Liters)
BLD1166 (50 Liters)
GRG3290 (50 Liters)
Those are all a tad small for you but still, to show you something maybe to aim for down the road. I have a feeling that half way through hiking the AT, you'll be ditching some gear if not sooner. It's all too common. Maybe look at some 55 liter packs? The common recommendation is to go for packs that are all too big and my thought process is if I have a pack a few liters smaller than I've got to really think through each piece of gear I'll be taking with me.
Hopefully you're able to finish and when you do, get your self one of these little guys to celebrate:
Good luck!

Those two open buckles are for the two compression straps on the front of the pack. If you are taking a lighter load you can run the straps all the way over to the one side to really snug down your load. The Aether series is add-on compatible, underneath the flaps of those two compression straps are 4 loops where you could attach a daylite daypack. If you are going to be doing base camping it is a good thing to have.
Thanks for the responses guys. You pretty much cleared up everything else I was wondering about in regards to these backpacks. Jared, thanks for all of the additional info. I have heard from a bunch of people not to go larger because then you are tempted to fill the pack, plus an unfilled pack is an off-weighted one. Also, I am not doing the full trail right now, don't have the time. BUT, I am hopefully completing the NH section, which would be a nice chunk of experience under my belt.
If your heading for the NH section of the AT you'll be in my backyard. You'll love it, but it'll be a bit of an ass kicker until your get your legs under you. There will be a ton of great spots but take some time to enjoy the Franconia Ridge and Prezi's.

Coming from a guy who has done the John Muir Trail and the High Sierra Trail a couple times. It is very easy to overpack! However, if you are ever tempted to do i very long trek, i highly recommend going for a little bigger of a pack. I started out doing small weekend 3 day trips, and was hooked on it, and I have done the JMT three years in a row now. Very glad i got a bigger pack!
Hey David, just throwing in my 2 cents. First off go with osprey! I'm a huge fan of their packs from day packs to climbing.
So for long trips I prefer comfort over weight for the pack and lightweight gear. The Aether 70 will carry everything under the sun comfortably. It compresses fairly small but you still have the option that extra layer\meal.
If you're just getting into backpacking and picking up all new ultra light gear a smaller pack will workout for you, but if you're like I was when I started out, using the bulky sleeping pad\bag, stove, puffy. Well a larger pack will help. After you're all geared up with lightest and smallest its quite easy to get away with a smaller size. Like Jared stated, its easy to pack light and right. Its just not cheap! Happy trails. Have fun!
I have an older model of the Aether 70 ...
I have an older model of the Aether 70 (2008 or 9).
I can't remember what size i bought .
The hip belt is marked as a medium. But i can't find the actual packs harness size anywhere ... .
Where on the pack can i find a tag with the back length size?
Thanks =P
Generally Osprey puts a little tab around the frame with the size but I just checked My Aether and couldn't find one so you might just have to run into an REI or some other store and see if you can compare them. Unless you can actually find a tag that says the size it is going to be hard to guess without comparing it to another
Did you fully take out the shoulder harness? if memory serves its on the backside of the velcro.
Sometimes local shops that deal osprey will have extra belts and harness from resizing peoples packs. Happy trails!
Has the Aether 70 been updated for 2013? Is...
Has the Aether 70 been updated for 2013?
Is it the 2012 models that are being heavily discounted?
It looks like the same Aether 70 that it's been for years, with the exception of the what they're saying is a "new" isoform hip-belt (I would have to see and feel it to say definitely). I don't see what's being heavily discounted, so it's hard to say, but Aether 60s and 70s pretty regularly go on sale here and most places. Hope this helps.
There are a few subtle tweaks to this model from the 2012. The hip belt has pockets, the side mesh was reshaped to make side reach storage possible (without taking off the pack to get at whats in there - I keep my knife sticking out of the hole). There is a small change to the configuration of the shoulder straps and the chest strap that make it MUCH more comfortable to wear for 8+ hours. Aside from being a bit on the heavy side, I love this pack!! Its heavy, but you can beat the crap out of it...
Thanks guys. I appreciate the info!

Vancouver will be stepping up it's New Year's Eve game to ring in 2017, the year of Canada's 150th birthday.
The Sheepdogs, Yukon Blonde, Wintersleep, and The New Pornographers are some of the entertainers lined up for the midnight countdown on Dec. 31.
New Year's Eve Vancouver takes place on Burrard Landing and Coal Harbour, and last year boasted a crowd of over 80,000 people at its peak as locals took to the streets to celebrate.
"Last year we were the largest New Year's celebration in the country and we're certainly optimistic that we might achieve that again this year," said Paul Runnals, the event's executive producer.
The existing free event that began last year includes live music, food and two fireworks displays – one at 9 p.m. for families with younger children, and one when the clock strikes 12 a.m.
But this year, the event will expand, running down to Jack Poole Plaza and adding a second musical stage in that area.
There will also be an increased number of reserved viewing zones where people can relax and enjoy the fireworks in a comfortable, seated environment.
Not only that, but a ticketed celebration dubbed 'True North' will kick off in the convention center's west ballrooms, which will see a variety of live music and access to both indoor and outdoor space.
"We're very excited about the depth of fantastic live bands, we've got some great DJ's, we've got obviously the most spectacular view of the fireworks," Runnals said.
Vancouver's biggest New Year's party will also feature a 26-foot countdown tower, which means watching the ball drop in New York is no longer the only option.
Concord Pacific is the event's title sponsor, along with a myriad of other partners, which also received $226,000 in federal government funding.

The ScarsMature
People ask me about the scars, the ones on my knees, the one on my back.
I am never sure whether or not I should say
The scar on my back is from a cigarette that my mother had been holding.
As for my knees? They're from falling, being pushed
My brother and I had a very different relationship
It wasn't only my parents abusing us.
He and I took our anger out on each other.
We'd get so mad, and things would go in a bad direction.
He'd try strangling me, I'd hit him back, then he'd hit me
One of the two reasons my nose is so crooked
The faded scar above my eye that very few notice? The one just passed my hairline?
A knife, one of our fights gone too far
I am not proud of my violent childhood, heck, I was younger than ten.
It wont be repeated, ever, we have both changed.
Just the other day he told me he loved me
For the first time in over ten years.
