Recovery To Come In Fits And Starts
RTTNews - Equity markets are showing broad consolidation moves despite warnings that the recent gains may have been overdone. Corporate earnings outlook still remains weak and economic reports do not support claims that the economy has in fact begun a turnaround. The minor correction the markets underwent last week is attributable to the headwinds of rising oil prices and bond yields, which could make it difficult for the recovery to continue into next year when all the stimuli fade and the inventory correction is over.
The one thing that can be said with certainty is that the downward momentum has slowed. However, internationally, we are seeing more fleshly green shoots. Conditions in Japan seem to be improving. The Bank of Japan and Japan's Cabinet Office have recently raised their respective assessments of domestic economic conditions more than once. Earlier in the day, a report released from Japan showed that sentiment among large manufacturers rose to -13.2 in the second quarter compared to a reading of -66 in the previous quarter, marking the biggest gain on record. Services activity is also improving, with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Economy reporting an increase in the tertiary industry index for April.
Last week, the World Bank revised up its growth forecast for China, while an IMF official suggested that the institution is now more optimistic about growth prospects and is all set to upwardly revise its growth projections for fiscal year 2010.
In the U.S., the outlook is still hazy. Even if a recovery is in the cards, it is likely to be a long drawn out and painful progress. Last week, the National Association of Homebuilders' said its housing market index fell by 1 point to 15 in June, reflecting the caution of homebuilders due to their concerns over a fragile state of the housing market. The index of current home sales and the index gauging traffic of prospective buyers remained unchanged at 14 and 13, respectively, while the index gauging expectations for the next six months fell 1 point to 26.
However, the housing starts report pointed towards a semblance of stabilization. Housing starts rose 17.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 532,000 units in May and building permits rose 4% to 518,000. The increase in housing starts reflected a 62% jump in multi-family starts and an 8% increase in single family starts.
In-line with the recent trend of a few positive and a few negative readings, results of the manufacturing surveys released last week were mixed. The New York Fed's survey showed that the general business conditions index, indicating conditions in the manufacturing sector in the New York region, fell to -9.41 in June after improving to -4.55 in May. The new orders index improved fractionally to -8.15, while the shipments index fell to -4.84 in June from 1.29 in May. The prices paid and prices received indexes improved by about 6 points and 15 points, respectively to -5.75 and -12.64. However, on a positive note, the outlook index improved to 47.8 in June from 43.8 in May, marking the highest since July 2007.
On the other hand, the pace of contraction in manufacturing activity in the mid-Atlantic region slowed significantly, with the index of business activity coming in at -2.2 in June compared to -22.6 in May and the economists estimate of -17. The prices paid and prices received indexes improved, rising to -13 and -16.6, respectively. The new orders index also saw a significant improvement, with the index moving up about 21 points to -4.8, while the shipments index climbed 21 points to 2.1. On the employment front, there was improvement as well, albeit on a moderate degree. On a more upbeat note, the 6-month outlook index rose to 60.1 from 47.5 in the previous month, reaching the highest level since September 2003.
The job market continued to show some improvement, although it may remain in a state of flux even after the recession ends. Initial claims for unemployment benefits rose to 608,000 in the week ended June 13th, up from the previous week's upwardly revised reading of 605,000. Continuing claims came in at 6.687 million, marking the first weekly drop since January. Also, the Conference Board said its leading indicators index rose 1.2% in May, more than the 1% increase estimated by economists. However, the coincident as well as the lagging indicators indexes fell by 0.2% each.
The Federal Reserve's industrial production report released last week came as a dampener, with the May industrial output dropping 1.1% in May month-over-month, almost in-line with the expected decrease of 1%. Auto output showed one of the steepest declines, falling 7.9%. The April reading was revised down by 0.2 percentage points. Capacity utilization was at 68.3%, marking another record low reading. The output of mines fell by 2.1%.
Pricing seems to be no longer a concern. Producer prices rose at a slower-than-anticipated monthly pace of 0.2% in May. On a year-over-year basis, producer prices were down 5%. The core produce prices index dipped 0.1%, as prescription drug prices fell 0.3% in May following a 1.3% increase in the previous month. Pipeline inflation is picking up, as reflected by a 0.3% increase in headline intermediate goods prices. At the same time, consumer prices rose merely 0.1% on an overall basis as well as excluding food and energy prices. Barring gasoline prices, prices of most other categories remained tame.
The hesitant recovery many are anticipating is keeping traders glued to the economic numbers that could validate expectations. The FOMC meeting is likely to headline the economic events of the unfolding week, although there are a few economic reports that could help gain more clarity on the state of the economy.
The existing and new home sales reports for May, the Commerce Department's durable goods orders report for May, the weekly jobless claims report, the Bureau of Economic Analysis' personal income and outlays report for May and the final reading of the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment for June are likely to be in the radar in the week. Some degree of attention may also be bestowed on the final reading of first quarter GDP and the weekly oil inventory reports. Traders may also keep an eye on the treasury bond auctions, including those of 2-year, 5-year and 7-year notes, scheduled for the week.
The Fed will be left in a dilemma on the course of interest rates, as the central bank is forced to do a balancing act. One section of the FOMC members fears that inflationary pressures may overshoot if the central bank does not state that it is ready with exit strategies. The FOMC statement may show a slightly increased optimism on economic growth, while at the same time suggesting that interest rates may remain on hold for a long time due to expectations that inflationary environment be benign.
Market expectations for a 75 basis point increase in Fed rates before the end of next year are seen as being too aggressive by economists. Even if the economy improves, the unemployment rate will continue to grow, resulting in high idle capacity. So, at least until the second half of next year, we may not see a change in interest rates from the current depressed levels.
Additionally, the Fed is not expected to alter the size of its purchase of mortgage and government bonds, although it could choose to extend the period of the current program. The central bank could also alter the composition of purchases.
Existing home sales is expected to hold within the narrow range they have been in since late last year. Wachovia Securities expects buyers to have remained on the sidelines except in the distressed markets. Additional job losses and the recent rise in mortgage rates should exert downward pressure on sales in the near term.
The durable goods orders for May are expected to see a drop in May, as regional purchasing managers' surveys showed that conditions in the manufacturing sector hasn't improved considerably. Capacity utilization remains at a historical low. However, IHS Global Insight forecasts a rebound in orders in May, with the firm expecting the reversal of a spike in defense orders masking a positive performance by some key sectors.
There are no important economic reports due out on Monday.
The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee is scheduled to meet on Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss the near-term direction of monetary policy, and the monetary policy-setting arm of the Fed will make an announcement at 2:15 PM ET on Wednesday. The Federal Open Market Committee consists of seven Governors of the Federal Reserve Board and five Federal Reserve Bank Presidents.
At its April meeting, the Fed maintained its key fed funds target rate unchanged at a range of 0%-0.25%. The FOMC noted that the economy continued to contract, with the pace of contraction slowing somewhat. Despite the stabilization in consumer spending, the committee noted that spending continued to be constrained by job losses, lower housing wealth and tight credit.
Overall, the central bank is of the view that economic activity is likely to remain weak for a time. That said, the committee expects sustained economic growth will resume gradually due to policy actions, fiscal and monetary stimulus and market forces. Additionally, the fed suggested that inflation may remain below rates that are consistent with economic growth and price stability.
The National Association of Realtors is scheduled to release its report on existing home sales for May at 10 AM ET on Tuesday. Economists estimate existing home sales of 4.83 million for the month.
Existing home sales rose 2.9% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.68 million units in April compared to a revised reading of 4.55 million in March. The median price of existing homes rose to $170,200, up from $169,900 in March, but down 15.4% from a year-ago. Inventories measured in months' supply rose to 10.2 months from 9.6 months in the previous month. According to data from the association, about 45% of the sales were of distressed properties. The Mortgage Bankers Association said earlier in the day that mortgage applications fell 14.2% year-over-year in the recent reporting week.
The Commerce Department is set to release its durable goods orders report, which gives the value of orders placed for goods designed to last for more than 3 years, at 8:30 AM ET on Wednesday. Economists look forward to a 0.9% decline in durable goods orders for May.
In April, orders for manufactured durable goods rose 1.7% month-over-month following a 2.2% decline in March. Transportation equipment orders showed the largest increase, rising 5.8%. Shipments fell 0.4% and unfilled orders declined by 1.2%. Inventories at the end of the month were down 0.9%.
The Commerce Department is due to release its new home sales report for May at 10 AM ET on the same day. The consensus estimate calls for an increase in new homes sales to 360,000.
New home sales rose 0.3% month-over-month in March to 352,000. However, annually new home sales were down 34%. The median price of a new home was $209,700, up from $202,000 last month, but was down $246,400 in the year-ago period. The months-supply of new homes was 10.1 months compared to 10.6 months in March and 10.4 months in April last year.
The Energy Information Administration is scheduled to release its weekly petroleum inventory report at 10:30 AM ET on the same day.
Crude oil stockpiles declined 3.9 million barrels to 357.7 million barrels in the week ended June 12th. Despite the declines, crude oil inventories remained above the upper limit of the average range.
Gasoline inventories increased by 3.4 million barrels, but stockpiles were still below the lower limit of the average range. Distillate inventories rose by 0.8 million barrels and were above the upper limit of the average range. Refinery capacity utilization averaged 85.8% over the four weeks ended June 12th compared to 84.8% in the previous week.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis is due to release its final first quarter GDP report at 8:30 AM ET on Thursday. The report is likely to show that the U.S. economy contracted at a 5.7% rate in the quarter.
The preliminary estimate showed that the U.S. GDP shrank at a 5.7% rate in the first quarter compared to a 6.3% GDP decline in the previous quarter. The contraction was worse than the 5.5% decline expected by economists, but not as worse as the advance estimate of a 6.1% decline. On a year-over-year basis, the first quarter GDP declined by 2.5% compared to 0.8% decline in the fourth quarter.
The decline in fourth quarter GDP compared to the previous quarter reflected negative contributions from exports, private inventory investment, equipment and software, non-residential structures and residential fixed investment. The weakness was offset to some extent by positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures. Imports, which are a deduction from GDP calculations, declined. Personal consumption rose 1.5%, revised down from the 2.2% growth estimated earlier. However, the sore spot was inventories, which deducted 2.8% off growth.
The Labor Department is due to release its customary weekly jobless claims report for the week ended June 20th at 8:30 AM ET on the same day.
Initial jobless claims rose 3,000 to 608,000 in the week ended June 13th from an upwardly revised figure of 605,000 for the previous week. Economists expect a small increase in claims to 602,000 from the initially estimated figure 601,000 for the previous week.
The 4-week moving average for initial claims, a statistic that flattens out week-to-week fluctuations in the data, dipped 7,000 to 615,750. Continuing claims, which measures people receiving ongoing unemployment help, declined 148,000 in the week ended June 6th to 6.687 million.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis is due to release its personal income & outlays report for May on Friday. Economists estimate the report, which is due out at 8:30 AM ET, to show that personal income rose 0.2% and the personal spending increased 0.4% in the month.
Personal income rose 0.5% month-over-month in April following a downwardly revised 0.2% decline in March. Economists had expected a 0.2% increase in income for the month. Personal spending fell 0.1% compared to expectations for a 0.2% increase.
Spending on durable goods fell 0.6% in April after declining 0.3% in March, while spending on non-durable goods dropped 0.6%. Spending on services rose 0.3% in May after rising 0.1% in the previous month. The core price consumption expenditure index rose at a 1.9% year-over-year rate, the same rate in February.
The Reuters/University of Michigan's final report on the consumer sentiment index for June is scheduled to be released at 10 AM ET on Friday. Consumer confidence is expected to rise in the month, with economists forecasting an increase in the index to 69 from the previous month's reading of 68.7.

Wives' tales
Military families struggle to survive in 'Alaska'
Credit: Brian Adams
Judging from reality TV, there are only two states in the country, New Jersey and Alaska.
OWN's new series "Married to the Army: Alaska," however, has more going for it than frigid landscapes and menacing bears.
This real-life "Army Wives" tracks seven spouses from Fort Richardson, Alaska, whose men, members of the 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry, are serving in Afghanistan.
"When you marry a military man, you're really marrying the Army," says Yolanda, who is married to the brigade commander. "To be an Army wife means I'm willing to sacrifice because soldiers die. That's a possibility."
The one-hour series movingly captures the tribulations military families endure as a matter of course.
This is still reality TV, however, and every show needs a villain.
"Married" delivers a she-devil: Lindsey. This once overweight wife of an enlisted man divorced and remarried up the chain of command to a major, had gastric bypass surgery and now behaves as if she's The Grand Boss of Every Army Wife Who Ever Was or Will Be.
Her Bible is the "The Army Wife Handbook" (this civilian did not know such a thing existed — my bad). She practically gets hives at the thought of socializing with wives of enlisted men — It just isn't done, don't you know? — and takes it upon herself to speak to — that is, scold — Traci, who had the nerve to reveal at a ladies luncheon that she met her husband at a Hooters.
Traci reacts to the criticism the way most of us would.
After watching the first episode, you may come away with a deep admiration for Lindsey — for being able to walk with that stick up her back. Alas, Lindsey is nowhere to be seen in the third episode (for some odd reason, OWN supplied the premiere and the third episodes for review), but that hour is no less involving.
Blair's husband returns from Afghanistan for a two-week leave. As much as they love each other, Blair burns with resentment over how she has had to carry on almost as a single parent to their 9-month-old son.
"If you had told me what was going to happen when I first met him, I would have run as fast as I could in the opposite direction," she says.
On Mother's Day, the women face a "black-out" — the term given when all Internet and telephone communication is blocked from their loved ones because of casualties in Afghanistan.
As the days mount, the women grow more frazzled over the safety of their men and question the choices they made that led to this moment in their lives.
Traci might as well be speaking for every military wife when she says in the premiere, "I can't wait for this to be a memory that just made us stronger."

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Packs that use pad for frame
Feb 7, 2009 at 2:43 pm #1233872
I have two questions, actually. I have a new G4 pack if that helps but the questions are more general.
1. I may be a wuss, but I like 12 panels on my z-rest. That is too thick to stuff into the place where the pad is supposed to go behind my back. Makes the pack feel strange, too. So I cut the pad in half but it still feels like the pack is too far away from my back.
Is that common for other people? Do you resort to putting the pad inside or on top?
2. Without pockets and a lid now I'm faced with tossing all kinds of things into my pack willy-nilly. Do you recommend a system to neaten this up?Feb 7, 2009 at 2:57 pm #1476086

gotta go to a Daddy-Daughter dance – 2 of my three anyway, the youngest has fever and is crying 'cause she can't go:(
so I only have time for #2.
I don't have to pack my frameless packs "willy-nilly". Side pockets help w/ water bottles & snacks, and perhaps a tarp. But inside my main packbag, I place my quilt, food sack, clothing and 1st aid / hygiene baggie & cook kit inside. Pretty well-organized.
What items are you putting in the main sack? With that list, I'm sure we can help you out with organization.
Take care,

I don't own a Gossamer Gear pack, but it looks like the GG SitLight sit pad would be a good alternative for the pad pocket.
I use a ULA Conduit, which also has no pack lid, and the pad goes inside. Water bottle and maps go in side pockets, rain and wind gear go into the back mesh pocket. Food, clothing, sleeping, tent go inside. All my little items are stored in a single stuff sack, right under the top opening.Feb 7, 2009 at 3:14 pm #1476090

It seems very strange to stick all that ultra-light stuff between your back and your pack. It has to be the most ANTI-ergonomic idea I have met for quite some time. It probably nullifies most of your efforts at reducing your pack weight.
Yes, I know this goes against the establishment line that using a mat as a pack stiffener against your back is 'the thing', but quite frankly, I don't care. Stupid is stupid.
CheersFeb 7, 2009 at 3:41 pm #1476094
Use a sitlight pad. Or even better, get a POE inflatable, and put it in there partially inflated. You'll sleep a lot better too. Shelter in the outside pocket, and a few UL stuff sacks to gather this up inside.Feb 7, 2009 at 5:06 pm #1476110
I have an old thermarest and tried it in the pocket instead but it was no better.
It seems the issue is that putting anything in the pocket pushes the pack far away. All the way loosened, the shoulder straps feel tight and uncomfortable. I may have to just put my pad on top or inside. Or half inside and half on top now that I cut it in half. Then I can at least sit on half of it on rest breaks without unpacking all my stuff.
As for the stuff inside that seems disorganized, I have:
– a small baggie with gloves and silk long johns
– a bivy
– a pair of rain chaps
– a bag with toiletries and first aid
– a bag with a spare camera battery and reading glasses
– my pot/stove
– my tarp in a bag
– my journal and pen, maps and permits in a bag
– my TP in a bag (I think I'll try going without, but I'm not there yet)
It's a lot of little bags.
If I don't put stuff inside the pack, then it's all just in the pockets and the pack itself is quite empty.Feb 7, 2009 at 9:01 pm #1476145
I'd still get a sitlight pad for the pocket, then put half of the z-rest flat inside, and the other half outside. Well, I'd actually replace the z-rest, but that's just me. If you don't have a lot of weight, you won't need a lot of frame. Or swap it for the new Mariposa, the curved stays fit your back closely.Feb 8, 2009 at 4:07 pm #1476317

> It seems the issue is that putting anything in the pocket pushes the pack far away
indeed and this is a bad thing. I don't like pad pockets unless the pad in them is thin. I do like the cilinder inside though: it adds shape and rigidity but the pack keeps close against your back. I guess you can try this with a Z-rest.
I actually like stuff sacks better than pack pockets. If you think you have too many bags, and at the risk of stating the obvious, try to join the contents of some where functions are similar (like all clothing in the same bag). If the problem with too many bags is weight, you can use lighter bags (plastic ziplocks may work for some stuff). If the problem is too many little bags, you can put one inside another and keep things organized without too many items to worry about when packing/unpacking.Feb 9, 2009 at 9:44 am #1476459

Roger writes >> Yes, I know this goes against the establishment line that using a mat as a pack stiffener against your back is 'the thing', but quite frankly, I don't care. Stupid is stupid. <<
I read lots of comments on various forums that I find to be pretty absurd. For the most part I simply ignore them and go on with my day. However given the author of the comments posted above, I felt some response is warranted. Roger is, I believe, a member of the editorial staff of BPL and written numerous article and countless posts on these forums. As such his comments bring with them a certain amount of gravitas.
However, his comments on packs that utilize pads for pack frames displays a great deal of arrogance that in my mind runs counter to the whole ultralight philosophy. This philosophy calls for seeking a balance between the individual, the gear and the environment though which they travel.
Ultimately it's a balance that only the individual can make. As individuals, we all differ in our wants and needs and our travels vary wildly over vast differences in terrain and environments. The gear we select to take us safely and comfortably through our journeys will vary significantly from person to person. What may well work for some may be painful for others.
As educators for people entering the world of ultralight, it is our duty to enlighten and inform people of the possibilities. We must undertake this task with a degree of humility and understanding. That despite the number of miles under our shoes and the number of nights spent sleeping under the stars, we do not have all the answers.
It is perfectly fine for Roger to have an opinion about where these kinds of packs work for him. Stating flatly that the whole idea of using a pad as structure is stupid, is an opinion and not a fact. Thousands of users use them quite successfully each summer.
I would hope that in the future Roger takes more care in his choice of words. If he chooses to enlighten us with what gear makes his backcountry adventures more meaningful and exciting, we are the all the better for it. However, simply dismissing an idea simply because it fails to fit his needs, only serves to limit our choices and diminish our horizons.

Strangely enough, I agree with both Roger and Ron. When I first began using a pad for a frame I placed the folded pad in the pack in the area against my back. Toward the end of a month long hike I began having the same thought that Roger is eluding to, that I'm moving the heavier items away from my back which is ergonomically not a smart thing to do. At that time, and ever since, I've used the pad ringed inside the circumference of the pack with no significant loss of support. So yes, I'll agree that the pad gives good support to the pack, and yes, I'll agree that using the entire pad in the area against my back is not the smartest thing to do.Feb 9, 2009 at 10:25 am #1476468

"It seems the issue is that putting anything in the pocket pushes the pack far away."
That would be my guess. In my experience folding the pad flat and using that as a frame only works with torso sized pads. I use a GG nighlight torso combined with a 1/8 thinlight and only use the nightlight for the frame. I have done this with a Golite Gust (no pad pockets but with the pad against the back which is pretty much the same concept) and more recently with a G4 with pad in the pad pockets). With only 3 sections the pad only puts your load back about 2 1/2 inches (My nightlight pad has been used alot, a new one will be a little thicker). For me, this works great for loads under 20 pounds, and is tolerable for a couple days at 25.
The only advantage to the outside pad pockets is easy access to the pad (which is a huge advantage).
With that many zrest sections your best bet is to use the rolled pad with gear inside as a frame.Feb 9, 2009 at 10:42 am #1476472

@mikeinfhazLocale: Phoenix
using some of these statements as a model, isnt it fair to say that packs with a breathable backpanel installed in the support system is going to ruin your center of gravity? isnt there a trend in packs with this style of frame? (osprey, deuter, others)
I can tell you that these breathable back panels are going to leave a gap of a couple inches, which seems to me no better than using a flat (folded) pad against your back. If it does, Osprey better change their line-up, no?

If using a pad as a pack support defies all ergonomics, why after countless miles does this technique work so well for me?
If I have nullified my efforts at reducing my pack weight through poor ergonomics, why is my pack so light and comfortable to carry- more so than any other configuration I've tried?
Roger, you're really messing with my head!
Are my experiences the product of some strange hallucination (perhaps I've been picking the wrong edibles)?

@mikeinfhazLocale: Phoenix
me too!
but i still use a sitlight as a pack frame, and i guarantee your pack frame doesnt come anywhere close to 1.4 ounces* not that it really matters, im just sayin'
for me, its a fire fanner, a freezer bag cozy (when folded in half) a sit pad (when hammock is too anti-social) and a booster for feet warmth. Man, I cant believe you'd have no use for a sitlight. But, my pack is always under 15 lbs with it so if you pack heavier you may not reap the benefits. I would hope that anyone who curses the idea of frameless packs is not discounting the quality and philosophies of Ron Moak, Ron Bell, Brain Frankle, Joe Valesko, Dmitri Couponous, Ray Jardine, Grant Sible/GVP, and others. That would be stupid!Feb 9, 2009 at 1:21 pm #1476518

@tallblokeLocale: DON'T LOOK DOWN!!
I agree with John. I roll my thermarest loosely, after rolling it tight to get all the air out, shove it in the pack and unroll it tight to the sides, drop my sleeping bag and tent in the bottom, tighten the bottom with clothes etc ouside the thermarest. Then everything else like cookgear and food, washkit and first aid kit goes in. Voila, tight, comfortable load. The roll gives the entire pack structure, which improves hipbelt mounting point stiffness, and makes the pack look neat from the outside, without lumps and bumps showing through.Feb 9, 2009 at 1:53 pm #1476530

Hi Ron
I wonder if you have misunderstood me a bit? Perhaps the immediate context of my posting was missed. If I did not make the context clear, my apologies.
My comment was meant to be that using a whole Z-Rest pad or even half a Z-Rest pad as the 'frame' for a pack (between the pack contents and your back) is stupid, and I will stand by that statement. The total thickness of a folded Z-Rest is huge, and the offset it creates is unreal.
But using a single layer of foam as a 'frame' is quite another matter. The benefit from the stiffness it contributes probably overwhelms the slight offset due to a single layer of foam. For that matter, the sprung frame on my own packs is probably at least the thickness of a single layer of foam.
So maybe we are not that far apart?
PS: calling an idea stupid is not the same as calling a person stupid. For the record, I am not calling Diane stupid: she is smart enough to question the IDEA herself:
'but it still feels like the pack is too far away from my back'.Feb 9, 2009 at 2:19 pm #1476537

> It seems very strange to stick all that ultra-light stuff between your back and your pack.
What is "all that ultra-light stuff" you are referring to here? The OP stated that her pad pushed her pack too far away from her back and seemed to be asking for advise for an alternative. Maybe you intended to call *her* stupid?
The second post didn't mention anything like that.
The third poster suggested a sitlight pad for the pad pocket, so maybe a 10 x 19 x 3/4 in. pad is what you are calling "all that ultra-light stuff"?
That might be an anti-ergonomic idea for you, but others find it quite efficient and comfortable.
To suggest that "It probably nullifies most of your efforts at reducing your pack weight" is ludicrous.
>Yes, I know this goes against the establishment line that using a mat as a pack stiffener against your back is 'the thing', but quite frankly, I don't care.
At least 90% of the people I see hiking with a backpack are using a big heavy pack with a frame and the sleeping pad tied on to the outside. Maybe I just don't know what you mean by "establishment".
Maybe you were just talking about the people that roll a sleeping pad as a liner inside their ultra-light packs for support and protection?
If so, I suspect that you are calling a majority of the members of BPL stupid.
Ron Moak's post came off as being much more informed, literate and useful than your own… ie not stupid.
Ok, Roger's reply explaining his original post wasn't there when I posted this.
Now I see that indeed he was effectively calling Diane, even as she asked for advise, stupid.
Ain't that a nice 'un.Feb 9, 2009 at 2:42 pm #1476545

I don't use a Z-Rest but hike with many that do. You can either take a full size Z-Rest or one that's cut shorter. Just put it outside on the very top of the pack using the Y-Strap. I would not want to use a whole Z-Rest as a pack frame.
I am like others. i just use a GG SitLight pad or I have even just folded up a 1/8" Thinlight pad and stuffed it in there. I use a Mariposa Plus. Similar to a G4 with just a bit less volume.Feb 9, 2009 at 2:48 pm #1476546

Hey Scott,
Do the convolutions on the sitlight pad offer any benefits (comfort, ventilation, whatever) over a flat pad like the thinlight against your back?

At what thickness will a pad force the pack far enough from the center of gravity to have to have a noticeable impact on pack comfort? That's a difficult question to answer. Simply because the gap between the pack and wear's back is not the only factor in the equation. So narrowing the discussion solely to pad thickness misses the mark.
Over the years I've carried numerous external and internal framed packs over thousands of trail miles. My frame packs frequently left gaps of 1 to 2 inches between my back and the contents of the pack. The same is true of many internal frame packs with multiple thickness of materials and thick layers of foam. The old wooden frame packs use by hut keepers in the White Mountains to carry loads of a hundred pounds or more were quite thick. They were also very tall to push loads high and closer to your center of gravity.
It's also not uncommon to see people carrying large traditional packs walk with a noticeable forward lean. The idea of walking upright and relatively unencumbered over numerous trail miles is a relatively recent phenomena. I don't know how many times I've heard people who've recently adopted an ultralight style, comment on the joy seeing the world around them as they hike and not having to focus on the trail a few feet in front of them.
One of the niceties of a frame is that they help to compensate for a poorly packed pack. While they can't overcome some user errors, like hanging a three liter water bag on the back of the pack. Frames do simply the process of making a pack stable and more comfortable to carry.
Our packs utilize pad pockets that are 2 inches deep. Is that too deep? Not that we've seen, either in direct usage or in reports back from the field. I do recommend that you experiment with pack loading in order to better dial in the weight distribution. This especially when pushing weights beyond 25 pounds. I also recommend keeping the pack weight to the point where it doesn't matter one way or the other.
Virtual frames can and do work. However like most of the practices in ultralight hiking, it does require developing additional skills to maximize the value. But then isn't one the primary goals of ultralight hiking the substitution skill for brawn?
Ron MoakFeb 9, 2009 at 5:07 pm #1476585
I don't know that my complaint was as much about where the center of gravity was but that even with half my z-rest (6 sections) the shoulder straps barely fit me. There was too much space used up between where they attach and where my body is. Maybe I'm too fat for the small size. Well, I won't be so fat after a couple months on the trail. Or it could be that the z-rest is too tall. The pads GG sells are only 18" tall and I think the z-rest is taller.
So for me right now it works best with the whole pad inside the pack. The unfortunate effect of that will be to not have easy access to my pad on rest stops.
I have to put the whole pad inside anyway to hike in my local area. It's so brushy here you find little bits of blue pads on some of the trails like you're following Hansel and Gretel. And often there's nothing but bushes, so I don't think I would want to rely on a hammock.
Oh, and I decided to take the bivy out of its bag and just fold it up at the bottom of my pack. That way it can serve double-duty as extra protection in case I set the pack down on something wet. So that's one less little bag inside to keep track of. Maybe I'll do the same with the chaps.Feb 9, 2009 at 6:08 pm #1476611

Diane, I have a G G5 and I use a 14 panel z-rest sometimes. I cut the panel into 6 and 8 and glued 2 small Velcro strips to each side to hold it together when sleeping. I find that it works ok. I asked the guys at GG about this and they said that this was as thick as they would go and they suggested 4 panels would be better which would be double thickness, and 2 panels would be even lighter.
I wanted to try the 6 panel before I cut up the pad any more. Now I might try 2 panels which seem about the same thickness as a standard backpack pad. I can use the Velcro to hold everything together.
The next problem is where to put the rest of the pad- the G5 is so fragile that if something would tear a pad strapped on the outside it would also shred the pack itself. I only take this pack on open trails.Feb 9, 2009 at 6:15 pm #1476615
So what kind of glue do you use for the velcro. I was cutting up a GG Nightlight to use in my son's G4, and the velcro didn't stick.

World champion Sebastian Vettel has no preference about which driver will replace the retiring Mark Webber at Red Bull next season, according to team principal, Christian Horner.
Red Bull will choose between the 2007 world champion, Kimi Raikkonen, and Daniel Ricciardo, a product of their young-driver development programme and currently with Toro Rosso.
"I don't think Sebastian has any concerns about going up against any driver, and he hasn't voiced a preference either way," said Horner.

TMA President Tom Garcia, MD, told Congress in a letter on behalf of TMA that CMS' "'issues' meant that thousands of U.S. physicians will now see their Medicare payments cut by 2 to 4 percent next year." And in the midst of the appeal process, known as the informal review period, CMS has provided "conflicting and confusing information about its quality and cost reports and the appeals process."
Along with the American Medical Association, TMA wants Congress "to tell CMS to back off on penalizing physicians who in good faith participated in PQRS in 2014." At the very least, medicine is requesting an extension to the appeals deadline into next year to allow physicians sufficient time to review their reports and understand whether they should file an appeal.
"Our experience of just the past few months has proven that CMS is much better at generating mass confusion than it is at helping physicians care for Medicare and Medicaid patients," Dr. Garcia wrote. "The agency's incompetence only multiplies the burden of numerous, overly complex regulations it forces onto physicians."
If you submitted data to PQRS for the 2014 reporting period, you really need to review your quality and cost reports. CMS uses the data in these reports to calculate your quality and cost performance scores, determining how you'll get paid under the 2016 Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule. According to an AMA news alert, "problems with how CMS has been collecting and analyzing data related to the PQRS and VBM programs are leading to inappropriate penalties of 2-4 percent of Medicare payments for thousands of physicians."
On Sept. 9, CMS announced the release of two reports: the 2014 PQRS feedback report and the quality and resource use report (QRUR) under the VBM program. On Nov. 16, CMS released revised reports due to initial "issues with data submitted to PQRS by electronic health records and qualified clinical data registries, and technical issues related to claims used to calculate claims-based measures." This recalculation process resulted in lower performance scores for many physicians, and now more physicians than ever will receive payment penalties in 2016. Read more on this matter and other problems related to the reports in the AMA letter to CMS (letter available to AMA members only).
Reports and Appeals Process
If you haven't seen your reports, review them now. If you've already reviewed your reports, check again for new and revised versions. If Medicare says you'll receive the 2016 payment cut, or if you're confused or concerned about receiving a penalty, file an appeal, known as an "informal review request," by Dec. 16 for each report you want to contest. This is the only appeals process Medicare has for the PQRS and VBM programs and the only opportunity you'll have to appeal your penalties before the pay cuts take effect on Jan. 1, 2016.
Follow these steps to access your reports and file an appeal:
Help for You From TMA
TMA is collaborating with TMF Quality Innovation Network Quality Improvement Organization (QIN-QIO) to connect TMA members to free services to help them navigate Medicare requirements to avoid penalties and maximize value-based payments. TMF QIN-QIO provides no-cost consulting services and technical assistance to solo physicians, group practices, and other health care professionals for Medicare's quality programs.
For help with your reports or the informal review process, contact Tracy Swoboda at TMF QIN-QIO by phone at (361) 258-1053 or email. And join the TMF Value-Based Improvement and Outcomes Network to take advantage of free services. Learn more about TMF QIN-QIO in the December issue of Texas Medicine.
For questions about PQRS feedback reports and guidance on the PQRS informal review process, contact the CMS Quality Net Help Desk at (866) 288-8912 Monday through Friday, 7 am-7 pm CT (select option 3, then 7), or by email.
For questions about QRURs and guidance on the VBM informal review process, contact the CMS Physician Value Help Desk at (888) 734-6433 Monday through Friday, 7 am-7 pm CT (select option 3), or by email.

Samsung Electronics recently offered to buy BlackBerry Ltd for as much as US$7.5 billion (S$10 billion), seeking its valuable patents as it battles Apple in the corporate market, according to a person familiar with the matter and documents seen by Reuters.
South Korea's Samsung proposed an initial price range of US$13.35 to US$15.49 per share, representing a premium of 38 per cent to 60 per cent over BlackBerry's current trading price, the source said on Wednesday.
Representatives from the two companies, which are working with advisers, met last week to discuss a potential transaction, the source said, asking not to be identified because the conversations are private.
The Waterloo, Ontario-based company said in a statement that it "has not engaged in discussions with Samsung with respect to any possible offer to purchase BlackBerry. Shares of BlackBerry, which soared nearly 30 per cent following the Reuters report, fell back about 15 per cent in after-hours electronic trading following the statement.
Samsung also told Reuters in Seoul that it has no plans to acquire Blackberry. "Media reports of the acquisition are groundless," a company spokeswoman said.
Separately on Wednesday, Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail reported BlackBerry has shunned a handful of takeover overtures in recent months as its board and largest investor think its restructuring strategy will deliver greater shareholder value than current acquisition offers.
The board believes offering prices, some in excess of US$7 billion, fall well below BlackBerry's potential asset value in the next few years, according to the Globe and Mail report.
BlackBerry, a one-time investor darling that pioneered smartphones, has regained some of its lost swagger under Chief Executive John Chen, who is lea

Although webinars and virtual online trade shows have become popular in recent years, and serve a marketing purpose, they are not replacements for face-to-face events, says Bill Sell, vice-president and general manager of CrossTech Media, a Boston company that owns and manages 20 business and professional conferences. "People have been doing in-person selling since the medieval village marketplace and it's never going to be wiped out," he says.
There are about 2,200 trade shows and industry expos held in the U.S. annually, down about 25 percent in the past three to four years, Sell says. But new events have cropped up this year, discontinued shows are coming back, and attendance is expected to improve. "People are recognizing that there is no serendipity factor in webinars. You market to the audience you know and have invited; you can't expect to run into someone you don't know or find new opportunities at a virtual event," he says.
Small businesses that want a higher profile in their industry and need to meet new clients, make new partnerships, and get up to speed on trends should consider attending or exhibiting at a show this year, says Sell, a former product manager for COMDEX, a giant computer expo held in Las Vegas from 1979 to 2003. Here are his tips and best practices for getting the most out of a trade show at the lowest cost:

Clean ClothesMature
Sylver walked back into the princes room to see Dawn pulling clothes from the wardrobe. His brother was limping from the kitchen.
"Are you ready to go?" Sylver asked Gabriel nodded.
The empty communal pool looked strange to Gabriel as they slowly walked to the smaller rooms.
"Not getting in there?" Sylver smiled knowing his brothers dislike for the large pool.
"No chance" Gabriel growled holding his side.
"I don't see why you don't like it." Sylver frowned "especially when it's empty."
"I just don't." Gabriel grumbled heading down the small corridor lined with doors to the one at the end.
"Do you need help?" Sylver asked as Dawn put the clothes, bandages and the towel on the marble bench.
"I'll be fine" Gabriel said shortly disappearing behind the screen that separated the two small pools.
"Did you want this one?" Sylver asked looking at Dawn who shook his head.
"No thanks." Sylver nodded and pulled off his jacket. Dawn stood up mumbled something and moved to the screen.
"Sire" he said he heard Gabriel sigh.
"Come this side if you have too." The prince called Sylver smiled as Dawn moved to the other side of the room.
"Its nothing you haven't seen before." Gabriel added and Sylver laughed. Dawn sat down on the identical marble bench putting the towel and clothes beside him.
Gabriel was standing with just his loose trousers on Dawn looked at him seeing the deep bruises and cuts properly in the bright light from the frosted window in the ceiling.
"Dawn stop staring you haven't done it for ages." Gabriel growled.
"sorry." Dawn stood up and moved quickly wrapping his arms around the princes waist. He hugged Gabriel tightly trying to avoid his injuries.
"Dawn?" Gabriel groaned Dawn let him go looking at him.
"I'm sorry." Dawn said again turning his back as Gabriel tugged his trousers off and climbed down the shallow steps into the pool.
"What are you sorry for now?" Gabriel asked as he pulled the tie out of his hair.
Dawn stood up as he saw the prince struggling to unbraid his hair one handed.
He knelt beside the pool and took Gabriel's hair from him.
An hour later Dawn retied the princes braid and was wrapping the bandages carefully. He helped Gabriel dress in loose cotton clothes.
"How do I look?" Gabriel asked untucking the wet braid from the back of his shirt. Dawn looked at the bruises under the princes eyes and the split in his lip and smiled.
"You look good." He said.
"And why don't I believe you?" Gabriel smiled slightly. Dawn grinned and wrapped his arms around the smaller angel.
"Are you two finished?" Sylver called.
"Nearly" Dawn said grinning at Gabriel.
"Are you dressed?" Sylver laughed from the other side of the screen.
"yes." Gabriel sighed Sylver walked around his hair dripped water down his cheeks. "I suggest we go and see mother."
"I agree" Sylver nodded he looked at Dawn "I say we all need to change first."
"The clothes are clean" Dawn frowned.
"Uniform, Dawn" Gabriel smiled "and you must have neater clothes somewhere."

Bravium Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (375ML half-bottle) 2011
Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
Sonoma Coast is becoming one of the most sought-after Pinot Noir appellations in California. The 2011 Sonoma Coast bottling is a structured and complex style of Pinot Noir. Dark fruit flavors with Christmas Cake spice notes highlight this complex, medium-bodied wine.
This bottling will pair with duck and other game birds, casseroles, and beef bourguignon.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "This is a savory, delicious young Pinot Noir, although it does have a certain generic cool-climate quality. The acidity brims of the foggy coast, and so do the flavors, which range from rhubarbs and cola to sweeter red cherries. Decant it before serving."
Bravium Winery
Bravium translates from Latin as "reward, prize, or gift." Derek Rohlffs - Bravium's Proprietor & Winemaker - founded the winery in 2007. Bravium produces single vineyard, traditionally-crafted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown in hillside and mountaintop vineyards. Bravium's vineyards are located in the relatively cool growing regions of Anderson Valley, Carneros, Mendocino Ridge, Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Lucia Highlands, and Sonoma Coast. Derek employs simple winemaking techniques - gravity-moving wines and bottling his red wines unfined and unfiltered - allowing the vineyards and vintages to remain at the forefront. "The longer I make wine, the more I subscribe to a 'less is more' approach," Derek has said. Critics are growing increasingly excited about Bravium's wines, placing it alongside benchmark "producers such as Rhys, Kalin Cellars, Porter Creek, Joseph Swan, Copain and Littorai," while calling out its "deft integration of oak, judicious use of whole cluster fermentation, pleasant aromatics, flavor without weight, and bright acidity for refreshing drinking."

About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about half as much wine as its northeasterly neighbor. Because of its vast size, however, Sonoma is able to achieve far more diversity within its borders, which include sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid-back and down-to-earth, but the wines are serious and well-made, ranging in style from subtle and elegant to rich and powerful. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Missing Logical Volume Label! Doco Saved the Day!
AdrianMahendrata 2700008J7X Comment (1) Visits (6091)
The Background
I was asked to move data on SAN LUNs from one LPAR (source LPAR) to another (destination LPAR). What normally is an easy task turned to a rather "troublesome" one for me.
As many would agree, the sensible steps to accomplish this are:
The Issue
All the steps went error free. However, when I got to step 7 – mounting the file system – I quickly realised that the Logical Volume in the Volume Group has no mount points. My initial reaction was … bummer!!
The lsvg –l command output was showing the below:
aixlpar1:/home/root # lsvg -l vg1
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
loglv02 jfs2log 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A
vg1lv05 jfs2 60 60 1 closed/syncd N/A
vg1lv04 jfs2 1984 1984 1 closed/syncd N/A
vg1lv03 jfs2 1002 1002 1 closed/syncd N/A
vg1lv02 jfs2 240 240 1 closed/syncd N/A
vg1lv01 jfs2 416 416 1 closed/syncd N/A
After a quick investigation, I noticed that the Logical Volumes (LV) are missing their labels. How did I know? Well, I used the getlvcb command as shown below:
aixlpar1:/home/root # getlvcb -AT vg1lv05
intrapolicy = m
copies = 1
interpolicy = x
lvid = 00c2
lvname = vg1lv05
label = None
machine id = 2B55E4C00
number lps = 60
relocatable = y
strict = y
stripe width = 0
stripe size in exponent = 0
type = jfs2
upperbound = 8
fs = vfs=
time created = Thu Jul 10 12:25:31 2008
time modified = Tue Mar 18 11:50:12 2014
Why is the LV label missing?
Well, that's a good question. The LPAR had undergone a data centre move using third-party software in the past. As part of migration, the LVM components (VG, LV & FS) configuration was re-created by the third-party software. I suspect that the issue could very well be introduced at the time.
The Fix!
Well, the fix is quite simple. Those Logical Volumes need to have a label assigned to them. The label would be the file system name that sits on the Logical Volume.
Steps taken to fix this:
# chlv -L /file/system/name lvname
Once the above was done, the Logical Volumes will have a mount point and I was able to mount all the file systems without any data loss or corruption.
Importance of System Documentation!
On my environment, I've scheduled a script that runs regularly via cron to performs a bunch of commands to capture system information (i.e LVM, CPU, Memory, etc). The lsvg -l command is one of them. Thanks to this, I was able to map out the Logical Volume and File System relationship quite easily. I even wrote a one liner script to assign the Logical Volume labels across hundreds of file systems.
Without the system documentation, it would be a challenge mapping out which File System sits on the each Logical Volumes and it would take a very long time before the LPAR can be made available again.
Therefore if you haven't done so, capture system configurations across your environment. It will be useful one day when you need it just as it was useful to me for this incident!!

OAuth Playground: Open-sourced
May 20th, 2009 | Published in Google Code
The OAuth Playground has proven to be an invaluable tool for developers. For one, it's handy for experimenting with the Google Data APIs, but more importantly, it gives developers the ability to debug their own OAuth implementations. Anyone who tinkered with the open protocol knows it has nuances! Many first-timers fall into the same pitfalls, so to help remedy that, I've decided to open-source the Playground in hopes that other OAuth service providers will create similar tools for their own APIs.
A lot has happened in the OAuth space since the Playground's release last fall. Included in that is Google's growing number of OAuth-related features and resources to aid developers. Here are just a few:
- 2 legged OAuth for Google Apps administrators
- Hybrid (OpenID + OAuth) protocol
- Client library OAuth samples in Python, App Engine Python, Java, App Engine Java, PHP
- Article: Using OAuth with the Google Data APIs
- Article: Using OAuth in the Google Data API Client Libraries
The feedback we have heard is that OAuth is difficult to implement and that it's tough to grasp the interactions between user, consumer and service provider. By open-sourcing the OAuth Playground, we really want to make it easier for developers to understand the OAuth flow and debug their own OAuth applications.
For even more information on OAuth and the OAuth proxy, check out our talk at Google I/O entitled Using Google Data APIs and OAuth to Create an OpenSocial Gadget.
If you have any questions, ask in the forums!

The Owls manager has been linked with numerous other clubs in recent weeks, but told the club's official website, www.swfc.co.uk: "My ambition when I took this job was to take Sheffield Wednesday back to the Premier League and that is still something that drives me on.
"I'm delighted to sign a new contract here and, while there have been changes at the club during my initial two years at Hillsborough, we have a firm plan in place to improve the footballing operations at the club and drive Sheffield Wednesday on up the league."
He added: "I would like to thank the Owls fans for their tremendous backing during my initial two years at the club and I will endeavour to pay back the supporters with success on the pitch."
Chief executive Kaven Walker added: "The club is delighted that Brian Laws has signed a new contract and the fact that negotiations have been concluded so swiftly shows how much the manager wanted to stay with Sheffield Wednesday.
"It also illustrates the club's mutual desire to retain his services."

'The Mindy Project' Cast Says These Are the 9 Best Love Triangles Ever
From funny to classic and downright sick.
The season five premiere of Hulu's The Mindy Project tackled one of the most revered romantic comedy tropes: the love triangle. This particular threeway focused on Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling), and all her feelings about new partner Jody (Garret Dillahunt) and her ex, Danny (Chris Messina).
In honor of the series' recent return, we asked the show's cast to tell us about the love triangles closest to their hearts.

Grade: 3 stars out of 5
I enjoyed the prequel; the sequel didn't wow me as much.
Being the president's daughter is hard enough, but dating your bodyguard in secret is just as hard.I appreciate the author's focus of having Morgan act like a typical teenage with typical teenage (just on a bigger scale). That being said some of her antics are outlandish and frankly unbelievable. I found the secondary characters under developed, though still fun, and simplistic. The conniving school rival had just one emotion, and while the solution to "getting back at her" was ingenious it didn't have enough oomph.
What redeemed Confessions of a First Daughter was the sparkling, budding romance between Morgan and Max. In Secrets of a First Daughter, there are hints, but nothing awh-worthy. I was waiting for that ear-to-ear grin. Alas it didn't come. It did have a happy cheesy ending that made my sweet tooth content for a moment there!
Do love the code-names!

I like Head & Shoulders. This shampoo is very helpful with my dandruff, it's a good value for the quantity of shampoo you get. I highly recommend this product!
This is my favorite shampoo from head and shoulders. It has a really nice clean fresh scent, and it keeps my hair from getting oily. As someone who doesn't wash their hair very often, this is a total lifesaver on time and hair damage. After washing with this, my hair feels clean, and free of oil, dead skin, or whatever else. I also find that after using this shampoo, my hair does not get oily as quickly, whereas after using other brands (pantene, herbal essences, dove) my hair and scalp tends to have oil and dead skin build up much more quickly. I don't think that I would recommend this for people with sensitive skin, as it does give a slight tingle during washing, and if you wash your hair everyday, maybe use the classic or the green apple, as this may be too drying for you. However, for anyone with oily skin, or oily hair, this is a must have.
I love this product! I can feel it cleaning my hair instantly and it takes care of those annoying flakes! I love how clean it makes my hair feel and look.
J'avais besoin d'un bon shampoing pour faire partir le plus possible la couleur que j'avais dans les cheveux pour en mettre une nouvelle. J'ai donc choisit le Head and Shoulders au Citron et ça a donné un bon résultat, mes cheveux étaient beaucoup moins coloré après deux shampoing (pas la même journée). En plus, il enleve les pellicule à merveille, un petit avantage!! Par contre, je trouve qu'il rend mes cheveux plus sec et cassant, donc je ne l'utilise pas très souvent.
I was using some other brand first.. but then one of my frnd told me to use head and should citrus.. and one day i got free sample from trail..
within 2 weeks my all dendruff gone..
i really recommend this to the people who has dendruff..
I started using this shampoo day when I found it at the back of my bathroom cabinet and had run out of my favourite brand. I instantly fell in love with the smell and how soft (but not greasy) it left my hair. I now use it almost everyday and love it!
J'adore ce shampoing! C'est celui que j'utilise quotidiennement. Il élimine la tendance grasse de mes cheveux! La senteur n'est pas la meilleure que j'ai connu mais sans plus.
Head and shoulders seems to be the main shampoo in my house. Everyone has it. Works awesome and smells great
Love the smell this shampoo has and it is very long lasting to boot! Keeps my hair soft and shiny :) Minimal split ends even though I usually forget to condition (Oops...)
There is always a coupon somewhere available for Head and Shoulders for at least $1 off. I received the coupon in the mail and bought it at Walmart. It was on sale for 3.99 so it only cost me 2.99. Not a bad deal. I use this shampoo constantly because of my fine and oily hair. This is one of the only shampoos that works for my hair. All others make my hair even more oily and I need to wash it more than once a day. This shampoo is safe to use everyday and smells great. It is cheap and of course easy to use. It has a citrusy scent and lathers into your hair quite smoothly. If you have oily and fine hair like me, this product is definitely for you!

[color=][font=][size=]I fuckin hate fuckin Sky Sports! No Armageddon, No Rumble ! Arrrrrgghhhhhh they make me fuckin' sick! You no good cheap ass bitches!! :cuss: :flip[/size][/font][/color]
Couldn't agree more, they will shell out the big moeny for cricket, but not for WWE. I mean cricket for fucks sake! and egg chasing... And i just gave my dad 60 fuckin quid to carry on subscibing to sky sports while i'm at uni, and then theres the money on the blank dvds for him to record them for me. bastards all of them, 60 quid is two nights out!

Uh, we do get 9 PPV's per year free. That's including the biggest of them all, Wrestlemania.
I wouldn't have bought the two PPVs anyway. No way i'm wasting £15 on the one match which i'm interested in when i can download it the next day for free.
Woah, that must suck. I can't imagine not getting a PPV. Unless I'm going. ;)
ps - i thought you were supposed to pride yourself on your spelling and grammer?
he spelt the word "two" correct but it was the wrong choice of word. i'm guessing that he meant to use the word "too" but then again i'm not a human spellcheck or whatever. technically the fault may not be in his grammer, either way it's a bad lexical choice.

I know it's probably a long shot but wondering if anyone has a racing pack that's about 18-20 litres that they'd like to swap for my two packs - A Salomon XA10+3 pack (red) and a Camelbak Octane LR (green).
Both the packs I've got are just a bit on the small side for the type of running and training (not to mention I also have to now carry a laptop on work commute runs) I do so I'm more than happy to do a 2 for 1 swap for a decent condition, quality brand pack that's close to or around 20 litre capacity and has a hydration system built in.
Don't mind what brand you might have as long as it's a lightweight, reliable racing pack. I do like the Inov8 18L Race Pro but happy to consider any swap.
Both my packs in are in good condition and full working order etc.
