Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Is there a lawsuit or civil action that can be taken out against another as a consequence of that persons habitual lying that has caused a break down in relationships/friendships, damaged a persons life to the extent of mistrust, isolating themsleves from others, questioning and doubting her/his own reasoning due to the manipulation of that other person etc.
First , the situation you describe doesn't sound like it has any potential as a class action. A class action is a lawsuit in which a representative plaintiff brings claims on behalf of a large group of people (typically 50 or more) who have similar claims. Class actions are usually filed against large companies for harm that the company has inflicted on a large group of people. It would be very unusual for a class action to be brought against an individual.
Second, there is nothing that you have stated that even sounds like grounds for a lawsuit against this individual. Unless this person has lied in order to induce you to do something (or refrain from doing something), which has caused you economic harm, you probably don't have a case. And even if you did have some amount of financial loss that you can blame on this person, it would need to be a substantial amount to justify taking legal action -- thousands of dollars.
My advice (non-legal) is to stop hanging around with jerks.
Legal Information is Not Legal Advice My answer provides information about the law based on the limited information provided in the questions asked and is not intended to provide legal advice or opinions, and does not constitute an attorney-client relationship. The answer to the question is for educational and informational purposes only.

Accordingly, I highly recommend that you consult with an attorney to discuss the details of your problem so you can get legal advice tailored to your particular circumstances.Ask a similar question
No, not likely. Not for merely being a habitual liar. You might have a cause of action for fraud, but you would have to have clear and convincing evidence (not just a preponderance of the evidence) that the fraud caused you damages.
Similarly, you might have a cause of action for defamation, but defamation is hard to prove. In Scott v. Solano County Health and Social Services Department (2006) 459 F.Supp.2d 959, the court explained that: "Under California law, the defamatory statement must be specifically identified, and the plaintiff must plead the substance of the statement. " Jacobson v. Schwarzenegger, 357 F.Supp.2d 1198, 1216 (C.D.Cal.2004).

False factual statements about another person which causes actual damage could be actionable in law, but they are hard to prove . I recommend seeking legal counsel to get advise on whether the actual content of the statements are actionable and whether your claimed damages are sufficient to support the action. Without knowing exacly what is said and what you claim as damages makes it difficult to help much further. I hope this was helpful. Good Luck
Please note that this answer does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied on, as each situation is fact specific, and it is not possible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and court pleadings filed in the case. This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
Are you sure you are not talking about someone I know? Sorry, it was a moment. The simple answer is, there must be a legally cognizable injury before the law will offer you a remedy. Has this person's lies caused you, for example, to purchase something at an inflated value? That might lead to a claim of "fraud." In other words, the condition of being a "liar" -- besides being very unfortunate -- is not the basis of legal action, but the consequences of such lies/misrepresentations, etc., might, depending on the circumstances.

i have been deciding between the mini revo and mini summit i really dot care about how fast i have a rustler for that i have heard problems about the driveshafts any recomendations i was looking at the golden horizons ones on thetoyz but what about the center ones forgive me forgot what they are called do they have any problems
The only upgrade worth buying is the Traxxas CVD kit for the MERV.
All others have a high failure rate.
FYI: Most people that buy a Summit end up with a MERV after they fix the issues with the drive line on the Summit.
If you like the Summit look, still get a MERV and then eBay/shop around for Summit tires, body, body posts, and some lower tooth count pinions... You'll be all set! (and be able to convert back and forth lol)
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.

This qualitative study makes the case for the implementation of curriculum mapping, a procedure that creates a visual representation of curriculum based on real time information, as a way to increase collaboration and collegiality in higher education. Through the use of curriculum mapping, eleven faculty members in a western state university Teacher Licensure program aligned and revised the teacher education curriculum across a sequence of courses. An increase in collaboration and collegiality among faculty emerged as an unintended outcome as a result of participation in the project.

One of the most gentle peels I have ever used, but don't be fooled, it works just as hard, if not harder! I was surprised when I applied this product to my face, that it didn't start stinging like regular peels I've used, but was pleasantly surprised to see that it gave me the same results: smooth, bright skin. It is gently enough to use a couple times a week, especially when you're skin could you a boost.
I was a bit hesitant about using a skin peel and it seemed I had a right to be! A few minutes after putting it on and rinsing it off my skin started to burn. My face felt really hot and terrible for like 15 minutes, but thankfully it went away after that. Not sure I'd be comfortable using it again, although my skin did feel very soft after.
I received this in my November Ipsy bag. It is amazing. You rub it on wait 10 secs, then rub off in circles, and rinse, and it makes your skin brighter and softer. It is pricey butit is high quality so it is worth it

Dragons: Hell: Explained
RockXIII, Decembre 9th, 2009
As soon as the distortions hit Fujitsu, he temporarily blacked out. The good part about this was that it was only for a few seconds and didn't see anything that might have scared him or any rapid movements at the speed of 100 MPH, if there was any to begin with, but the bad part was that he didn't see wherever the others had gone off to; he didn't even know his own surroundings to begin with. He knew asking Darkitsu wouldn't help much either because he had to share the same vision that was available to Fujitsu to begin with; along with that was hearing, and since Fujitsu blacked out, that was out. However, when Fujitsu regained consciousness, his eyes popped out immediately, and he started turning about frantically, looking for any sign of the others, but none of them were to there to be seen. In fact, nobody was anywhere to be seen: he was entirely alone.
His first thought was that Arceus had struck again and had done the same thing with Terrut as he did with... with.... Wait, what is this place, Fujitsu wondered intensely as he stopped spinning around in circles. He'd expected to land somewhere in Richtog Vale, not somewhere else, which was naive, given the amount of variables in the known world and that anything could happen, something that Fujitsu definitely knew, but hadn't registered with him at the moment.
This place was entirely different. For one thing, he was standing on a sturdy wooden bridge on top of rocky cliff, where the gleaming river below ran down where the cliff ended, forming a waterfall. Also on top of this cliff were regular houses, simple ones at that, with one floor, two windows in the front, and were made out of bricks. There also seemed to be an entrance to a cave somewhere the peak. Fujitsu ran across and hopped off the bridge and made his way to the edge and stared down. There was a pond at the bottom, which had two rivers sprouting on opposite sides, one leading into Cyren, the other out into the salty ocean. Surrounding that was what appeared to be soft grass, the occasional flower peeping here and there; there, too, were buildings down there, though there were less houses: taking up the space was what seemed to be a business district, along with a dock (AKA the actual city part). There wasn't any sign of life down there either.
Fujitsu stood up and started scratching his head. "God damn it, looks like Palkia's gotten us good, huh?" Then, after a couple of moments, Fujitsu realized that those weren't his words. They had come out of his mouth, yes, but that voice didn't belong to him. Then it hit him.
"Darkitsu?" Fujitsu asked tentatively, furrowing his brows and placing his hands on his hips.
"Yep," Dark responded, making Fujitsu cross his arms and formed a smug look on his face. Once again the words had come out of Fujitsu's mouth.
Fujitsu took a deep breath, then sighed, "I suppose that now you're in my body, you have at least some control of my functions, am I to assume? Am I also to assume that I have control of some of your powers?"
"Got it in one, kid, though you'll have to train hard to control the powers."
Fujitsu nodded, then looked around again, making sure that there was nobody overhearing him. Not even a Pachirisu.
"Say," Fujitsu began. "You wouldn't happen to know where we are, would you?"
His body nodded, then was influenced to say, "Yea. The surroundings are in the form of Calar City, but we're not on our planet. Palkia seems to have taken us to his own plane." The body had abandoned the crossing arms pose and now had them simply hanging by the sides.
"But then if we're in another Legendary's plane, can't we just transport to Mindscrew Central then to our world again?" Fujitsu inquired, attempting to roll his eyes to the back of his head in vain to try and see Darkitsu, but only saw black.
Dark made the head shake. "No, this is different," he said very curtly. "See, while Darkrai has a plane of his own, he's only one of the 'Minor Legends', and has a relatively small one. I'm sure that if Humans put together the very best technology that they have, in about twenty years they would be able to build a machine that could transport them to Darkrai's plane.
But that's beside the point. The point is that this really isn't a plane: it's another dimension altogether and has many planes within, and I'm guessing that we're in a new, smaller one that he just made. One separate from the ones that the others are wandering in right now. Though I have a hunch that Sepia didn't leave in the first place. The energy signature of the distortion was Palkia's mixed with our world's."
Completely plausible, Fujitsu thought. He knew that he was forgetting something about Palkia, but now his research was coming back to him as the previous shock was wearing off. He was looking around again, making a triple check that there was nobody there. Not even a soul. Well, perhaps Palkia's, but then again, this was his dimension.
Fujitsu asked, "Say, think we'll be able to find a way out of here?"
"Yeah, and when we do, be prepared: We should still be by Palkia, so think up a strategy to stay alive."
Stay alive.... How fitting, seeing that Fujitsu knew that he'd have no chance at winning against a creature so with such powers so close to a God's. Alone, anyway. In fact, we would probably need at least two other people with him in order to escape if the Legendary chose to go on the offensive.
Then the body seemed to grimace along with a groan.
"What's wrong?" Fujitsu asked, starting to get the feel of what was his actions were and what Dark's were.
"Nothing, nothing..." he claimed dismissively. "See, I'm acting as a firewall of sorts. There's something trying to feed you images that would make you crap your pants. Since I'm a part of you now, I'm able to send these images to my subconscious, so that you wouldn't have to see." He grunted as another image came into his head.
Fujitsu didn't know what to say at first, but then spoke a simple, "Thank you."
Dark made the body go into a cool stance and closed his eyes in a rather stylish action. "No problem. Now, I would take this time to go ahead and make yourself familiar with the surroundings of this plACE"-he had just seen a grotesque image involving Krystal-" so that when you come here and get into trouble with Rocket Logistics, you'll know a good escape route."
"... How do you know that we're going to get into trouble here?"
"Haven't you and the group gotten into some fuss at about every place you've been at? Besides, before I escape the labs, I thought I heard some possible plans for this place that we're still being debated on."
Fujitsu paused wonderingly, then said, "You said that you were going to explain everything that was up with our transformation and why you left Logistics, right? When will that be?"
The lips formed a smirk. "I'm not sure that I said anything about me leaving Logistics, but I was probably going to tell you anyway. And soon enough. Let's just focus on familiARIZIng with this place."
Fujitsu knew it would be pointless to argue, so he made his way to the grassy portion of the City, starting with the Gym.

Okay, I'm finally back. It wasn't so much writers block, but extreme laziness. I was like "I must update! People are actually reading this!" and then I decided to sleep instead...
Also, I HATE WRITING ON THIS STUPID KEYBOARD!
Harry, although he was loath to admit it, wasn't as infuriated at he was letting on. Well, not by much. Once he ignored the fact that these pompous fools had sort of kidnapped him, and that he was currently in the grasp of perhaps the most dangerous non-magical creature in the world, being led towards his doom that seemed to have materialised in the form of shawarma. He wasn't happy about being forced into attending this gathering- thing – whatever it was. A victory lunch? He sighed to himself, and tried to ignore the slightly nauseating swaying he was forced to endure whilst caught by Banner's alter ego.
"Let me down. Now."
All he received for his half hearted demand were smiles and winks. He sighed again, this time blowing dark, dirty bangs out of his eyes. The temptation to escape was present, but Harry was averse to the idea of harming the Avengers to achieve it. That didn't mean he wasn't pissed. He was irritated beyond belief, but there was an odd amusement that bubbled up within him because of the playful way the others were acting around him. It reminded him of the times spent with his friends in Hogwarts. The camaraderie that could only be achieved after you went through a life or death situation with someone. The beginnings of it were there, and when his mind strayed to his so called 'team mates', he couldn't stop the happiness he felt when he considered having that sort of friendship again. But then of course his common sense had to make its way to the fore. 'You had your chance, and you let them die.'
Then the guilt that was always present swelled within him. People close to him always died. The amount of family he still had verified that claim. Voldemort may be gone, but the life Harry had chosen to create for himself just increased the amount of enemies he had. When he had agreed to work with SHIELD, he had taken it into account that he didn't have anyone to put at risk by becoming an agent. It was a strength as well as a weakness; something Fury had informed him of in the beginnings of their working relationship.
There is no one to hold you back, but who are you fighting for?
He had fought for his friends, but they were gone. In the end, the war with Voldemort had cost him everything, and he wasn't sure he deserved another chance...
"Here we are, the Shawarma Restaurant! See Steve? I told you I knew where we were going."
"Stark, we passed this street twice before you decided it was the right one. If this 'shawarma' stuff isn't worth it, I will make it my goal in life to ruin yours. I'm tired, hungry, and this suit stopped being comfortable about four hours ago."
"No need to be so grumpy, Capsicle," Tony exclaimed, attempting to look scandalised, but only succeeding in looking more untrustworthy than before, "I understand that shawarma is something to do with meat, and if I want to try it, it must be worthy."
Clint sighed, "It's most definitely not worth it."
Tony ignored them, and stepped into the half demolished restaurant. Seeing that there were no staff members present, he seemed to deflate with disappointment. "I was so sure the owner of a shawarma restaurant wouldn't leave in the event of an alien apocalypse. It just didn't seem like the type of thing that would scare them. Robots, maybe, but not aliens. Never aliens..."
He continued to peruse the menus on the walls, when a head cautiously peeked out over a dust covered counter.
"... You want... shawarma?"
Tony smiled victoriously at the others, most of which just rolled their eyes at Tony's luck. From Harry he received only a raised eyebrow and a bored expression. "Yes dear sir, if you could perhaps prepare six of your finest shawarma... shawarmas? Anyway, we would appreciate them greatly. You are, of course, talking to the saviours of the planet."
The chef's eyebrows, already raised extremely high, disappeared into his hair. "The aliens are gone?"
"Indeed," Tony proclaimed grandly, before clapping his hands, "Now chop chop, you have heroes to feed!"
The unnamed chef immediately scurried out of sight, no doubt to create the best batch of shawarma ever made in all of history. Behind Tony, Steve surveyed the room, and seeing only one table in the middle of the rubble strewn room still standing, decided to drop into one of its' chairs, exhaling loudly at the relief brought with finally being able to relax. Clint and Natasha quickly followed his lead. Tony and Thor looked set to follow when they were interrupted by a deep growl, and a cough. Everyone looked around to see the Hulk outside the shattered shop front, an angry expression on his face, and an irate Harry still clasped between his huge, green fists.
Harry glared at them balefully, "Seeing as how I was FORCED into coming here, I would appreciate someone ordering Banner to LET ME DOWN." Tony and Thor exchanged thoughtful looks before both their eyes darted towards the thick beam of metal that had fallen from the ceiling at some point during the battle, and was now lying rather forlornly on the floor of the establishment. Wicked grins lit up their faces, and Thor hurried over to it, and lifted it up.
"I find it strong enough, Man of Iron," he announced after bending it a bit with his Asgardian strength.
"Perfect," Tony smirked, before turning back to Harry and the Hulk. "Hulky, would you mind setting Agent Potter on that chair at the end of the table?"
The Hulk snarled at him, but lumbered into the room through the empty window pane, ducking slightly to stop his head from making more holes in the ceiling. Surprisingly, once he reached the chair, he set Harry down rather gently. As soon his the large hands loosened, Harry lunged forward, but before he could escape, the hands tightened once again. He glared fiercely at the tables occupants, who dared to laugh at his misfortune and did nothing to help him.
"When I get out of here," he growled dangerously, "I will make your lives living hell."
"No you won't!" Tony yelled from somewhere over his shoulder, "Your file said you had a Hero-Complex!"
Harry closed his eyes, and forced his face to become blank. "You know nothing about me. That file only told you basic information. Banner, let me go, or I'll – WHAT ARE YOU DOING? STOP!"
The huge beam of metal that Thor had lifted from the ground was placed in front of Harry. Realising the intentions behind Thor and Stark, Harry began to hiss and snarl at them. Seeing that his anger failed to halt their actions, said anger caused his words to morph into hissing Parseltongue. Tony just raised his eyebrows as he observed Harry hiss nonsensical sounds at him. He shrugged to himself, and began to use the strength gifted to him because of his armour to bend the length of metal. With a high pitched screech, it folded. With Thor's help, after about a minute of pure brute force, Harry was bound to the chair by a thick, metal restraint.
Thor and Tony looked back to observe their handiwork. "Think it'll hold?"
Thor nodded his head seriously, "I don't see how he could escape. I sense no power from him at this moment, which means he has not cast any spells. His wand is in his holster, and thanks to our noble work, his hands have been restrained." Tony smiled brightly, and moved over to his own seat along with Thor, both of whom were still ignoring the enraged wizard.
Clint scoffed at the interactions between the two, "You do realise that if he had fought back, both of you would be smears on the pavement, right? You should be thankful that Grim doesn't hurt co-workers."
"I'm reconsidering that rule," Harry spat out, his flashing emerald eyes fixed on Tony, before he slowly calmed down, slumping slightly in his chair. "I need to get back to work. Once this insane torture ends, I have to go. I still have to interrogate Loki about the source of his army, and solve another case I'm working on."
"Look," Steve sighed, "Just enjoy these few hours of victory, and then you can go. It's not every day you stop a war, is it?"
Harry didn't answer. Little did they know that this wasn't the first war he had fought in, and won. It also wasn't the worst. After all, last time there hadn't been a few hours of victory for Harry. There had been only death.
"I believe there is a clothing store beside this fine establishment," Tony interjected abruptly, "Hulky, if you wanna change back, I'll pay for the clothes."
The green monster huffed out an annoyed breath, before turning away and heading back out of the missing wall. "Puny heroes."
Harry allowed his head to fall back against the back of the chair with a thunk. He stared moodily up at the ceiling, and contemplated his life. What had he done to fate to make it hate him so much? All he asked was to live in peace, perhaps with an exciting mission every few months, and a few dark wizards to destroy. Here he was, exciting mission over, another awaiting him... and he was bound to a chair. A memory of being bound came forward in his mind, and Harry grimaced. "If any of you decide to use my blood in some kind of warped ritual, I will turn all of you into snakes, and you will run my errands, specifically those that will lead you to a horrendous death in a pit of lava, and you will suffer. A lot."
There was a pause in the conversation, before it continued as his morbid proclamation was noted, and then ignored.
It was Natasha who said, "I think I can actually feel the angst emanating off of you. How old are you again?"
"Thirty," he growled, then a pause, "Thirty-ish."
Natasha studied at him for a few moments, "You look to be about twenty at first glance, but something about you makes you seem even older than thirty. I suppose in this business, it's impossible to retain the innocence that comes with youth." Her eyes darkened slightly towards the end, perhaps reliving memories just like Harry was. At her words, Harry raised his head to look back at her.
"You would know of that?" he said, narrowing his eyes slightly as he examined her with his Master of Death sight, rather than his mundane. Said eyes widened slightly with surprise, "Hmm, you really would know about that. I'm not the only one older than I look. Non-magical science really is really quite amazing. I didn't believe this sort of thing was possible. How old are you?"
Natasha kept her face blank, not allowing any of her surprise or shock to show. "How did you know?"
Harry raised his eyebrows, before giving her a small smile. "Magic."
She smirked in amusement, shaking her head, "That's going to be your answer for everything. So does magic slow the aging process for all wizards?"
Harry felt himself freeze, before saying smoothly, "Yeah, it's a wizard thing. Nothing special."
They were interrupted by the arrival of a platter of what Harry could only assume was shawarma, and the return of Banner, now dressed in a dark shirt and trousers.
"Well this looks... appetising," Tony said as he picked up some of the curious food, and held it up to his face. "Mmmmm... meaty. Cheers."
Everyone mumbled unenthusiastically, and took a bite out of their respective meal. Well except for Harry. He still couldn't move his arms. Instead he observed the expressions of the others. Tony, for all his talk on the subject, was obviously disgusted by shawarma. He placed the shawarma back on his plate and forced his face into a pleased smile. "Delicious."
Steve on the other hand, continued to eat the food with a small frown on his face. Perhaps if he continued to eat it, he would grow to like it. Anything was possible. He used to be an ice cube. He would not be thwarted by meat.
Thor, Clint and Banner were all consuming their shawarma with fervour. They had eaten much worse in their lives, and Thor would go as far as to say he loved the meat combination.
Natasha on the other hand, did nothing to hide her dislike for the shawarma. After her first bite, she wrinkled her nose slightly before tossing the shawarma back on to her plate. "That is disgusting."
Harry eyed the shawarma doubtfully. "It can't be that bad. It's just meat." She raised an eyebrow, and held the shawarma in front of his face, inviting him to take a bite. He did so warily, and immediately regretted it. He struggled to swallow the mouthful, and then sputtered and coughed.
"Dear Merlin! Thats it, I've decided to live on lettuce for the rest of my life. That was horrible. I would actually rather kiss a Dementor than eat that crap ever again."
Even not knowing what a Dementor was, Natasha couldn't help but laugh. "Living on only rabbit food? Stark wouldn't survive that."
Harry laughed along with her before a beautiful plan began to form in his mind. "A rabbit you say? My fellow agent, would you mind terribly removing my wand from its holster on my right arm, and placing it in my hand so it points directing at dear Tony?" he asked quietly. He could not help the malicious grin that crept onto his face. It had been too long since he had last committed a prank.
"You won't try to escape? As idiotic as Stark can be, I agree with him that you need to relax. This job is important, but if you let it take over your life, it will get you killed."
"Not me," Harry murmured to himself, before addressing her again, "How about a swear?" She thought about it for a moment, before nodding. "Then I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
Both of them now smirking, Natasha reached over and after a few seconds, Harry's wand was once again in his hand. As soon as it was pointed at Tony, Harry called out, "Hey Stark?"
Tony looked up, and stared at Harry suspiciously. "Wait, what happened to your moping? I felt safe when you were moping. Now I feel like fleeing... We're all friends here, right?" He smiled nervously.
"Let this be a lesson on what happens when you decide to pick what restaurant we go to."
A jet of pink light flew towards Tony from the unnoticed wand held loosely and unnoticeably at Harry's side.
Tony had just enough time for one "Oh shit-" before he was struck by the colourful light. Immediately upon contact, with a puff of pink smoke, Tony Stark was no more, and in his place sat a fluffy, white rabbit. Bunny Stark hopped onto the table, and looked down to stare at tiny, snow white paws. All eyes observed the bunny with fascination, and Thor slowly lowered himself in his seat, wisely refraining from speaking. The memories of his time as an amphibian were still strong.
The bunny tried to move towards Harry, and with very unbunny-like gestures, attempted to convey his apology, and want for forgiveness. Harry simply examined the rabbit, and tilted his head to the side, brow furrowed in deep contemplation.
"Something is missing..." he muttered, and then he brightened as he discovered what. "Of course!"
Another gesture, and a summoned hat landed on top of Tony with a plop. Indignant rabbit noises could be heard within the hat, and it was this that allowed the floodgates to burst, and for everyone in the room to roar with laughter.
"Anyone – wanna pull the rabbit – outta the hat?" Clint howled.
Upon hearing the laughter, bunny Stark managed to harness his fury, and managed to tip the hat over, sending him sprawling. He stumbled to stubby feet, and hopped towards Harry, murder in his little rabbit eyes. Harry, head still tilted to the side, chose that moment to transform. The folded metal beam fell onto the seat, for Harry's mass was no longer holding it up. In his place, a large, pitch black raven with glowing green eyes stood, and continued to stare at the white Stark rabbit, head still tilted to the side. Now Tony understood what the movement was.
His tiny rabbit heart nearly exploded with fear when bunny instincts overloaded his brain at the sight of the rabbit predator in front of him. A few terrified noises of bunny terror later, and Stark was back in his hat, ears peeking over the top. Harry gave a harsh croak, and transformed back, appearing on the table in his human form once again, and cross-legged.
An abrupt gesture, and Tony was also human once again. Unfortunately, the hat failed to survive the transformation which left Tony on his back, staring at Harry. "... You're not a nice person."
"Wait a second," Steve said, "If you could turn into a crow, why did you let us grab you? Why not just fly away?"
"Raven," Harry corrected, "And I wanted to keep something secret. I guess once you've transfigured enough of your co-workers, it just seems odd not to transform yourself, if you know what I mean. Besides, now you all realise that if I wanted to, I could have killed you all. Obviously you have no power over me. It was all a lie."
Steve stared at him oddly. Bruce leaned over and whispered, "I think he's being friendly. In an 'I let you kidnap me, I trust you', kind of way."
"See?" Tony exclaimed, shaking away the mentally scarring events that had just occurred, "You do like us! We're your friends because you let us kidnap you."
"Obviously he was just unsure as to what would happen if he transformed while being held by Banner. Hulk might have crushed him once he shrank," Natasha commented.
"We are not friends," Harry said clearly, "Working on one mission together doesn't mean anything. I'll admit that working with this team wasn't all bad, but I work better alone."
Surprisingly, it was Thor who said what they were all thinking, "You lie to yourself, friend. We saw you fight with us, and you are clearly a leader. I realise that I know not what you have undergone in your life, but you must learn not to live in the past. There will come a time in the future where you will need us. I hope you will remember us in that time of need."
Harry said nothing, and held his hand out to Natasha. Wordlessly, she placed his earpiece in his hand. He placed it back where in belonged, and stood upright on the table, walking to the edge and then jumping gracefully to the ground.
He looked at them all before nodding in acknowledgment. It wasn't an agreement, but it was progress. Just as he was about to disapparate, Clint called out, "Beers next Tuesday, me and Coulson. The usual place." Harry rolled his eyes, and then he was gone. It was time to get back to work.
Okay, nothing great happened, but I needed to add a filler chapter. Mostly coz if I didn't the story would be too short. Response is appreciated, except if it's mean because that would make me sad and make me lazier. Thank you to dear Ken for motivating me to write today rather than sleep. Or maybe I should curse you. I'm really tired now :L Next update is next weekend! I HOPE! MOST PROBABLY! I THINK! Yeah...
The thing with Natasha was about how Black Widow is resistant to aging. If anyone hadn't guessed, she's kinda the love interest. I hadn't planned much romance, so it'll kinda be a little flirting, but no mushy stuff.
Thanks for reading :)

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Uber-breathable sleeping bag shell for damp bag syndrome?
Nov 1, 2010 at 8:55 pm #1265045
I've posted about this before but I keep running in circles trying to find a suitable solution. *sigh*
Would a sleeping bag made out of a super duper breathable fabric–like as breathable as a cotton t-shirt or no-see-um mesh–combat a sweat soaked bag and allow moisture to escape easier than traditional shell fabrics?
Or is the shell really of no consequence because the dew point is going to be somewhere inside the insulation anyways?
I seem to pump out a large amount of sweat when I sleep. Every morning my bag is damp, and I fear that a VBL is the only way I can stop this. However, in my minimal trash bag VBL testing, I don't like it.
I've contemplated something like Tim Marshall's cuben quilts, but I may end up clammy in those as well–though I have heard reports of minimal condensation with his quilts.
Thanks again, BPL. Hopefully I can find a way to warm AND dry!Nov 1, 2010 at 9:13 pm #1660237

"Or is the shell really of no consequence because the dew point is going to be somewhere inside the insulation anyways?
I think this is it. Even when I vent heavily, even mostly uncovered, I can still get condensation on the inside of my TiGoat bivy. That uses pretty thin material. When hiking I've had sweat vapor condense and freeze on the outside of my fleece. Both experiences make me think it doesn't really matter about the fabric breathability unless moist air is actively and forcefully pumped out.
Also, one big problem with being super breathable is that it means the slightest breeze can knock all the heat out of your quilt. You'd have to add a bivy to stop that problem, but then you lose the benefits of a super breathable shell.
A cuben quilt can definitely make you sweaty. The learning curve can be difficult, especially on humid nights in the high 40's, low 50's where it's cold enough to want to cover up, but warm enough that you need to vent a lot. I think that even with a bivy you can vent enough to stay pretty dry unless it's extremely humid. A few weeks ago I had a difficult night staying dry the whole night. I would do fine most of the time, but then a low cloud would settle into the valley and I'd instantly be soaked. Eventually the cloud would leave and I'd dry out, but I felt horrible for a while. Still, I doubt I would've done much better in a quilt made of traditional materials.
I do get sweaty in a synthetic sleeping bag too, so in a way I like the cuben quilt better. I still get sweaty, but I don't have to worry about the quilt getting wet, heavy and smelly. My clothes still get wet and smelly, but the wet part takes care of itself pretty quick once I start hiking. The smelly…well, I'm still figuring out how to do trail laundry well enough to kill the funk.Nov 1, 2010 at 9:28 pm #1660243

On really cold nights, it sure will.
OP comment about wind is also very true. That may be why the Pertex fabrics are so popular at the high end. :-)
> I seem to pump out a large amount of sweat when I sleep.
I suggest you are sleeping just far too hot. Try sleeping cooler: it minimises the sweating and despite all fears you will not die. Many of us deliberately sleep that way, for that reason.
CheersNov 1, 2010 at 10:02 pm #1660253
Thanks guys. Yea, forgot about that darned wind.
Roger, I've tried sleeping cooler, but the slightest draft makes me uncomfortable so I end up covering up right away. I'm not afraid of dying from a drafty bag, but I might just have to have more faith that I'll fall asleep regardless of a bit of perceived discomfort!
More experience and testing should be in my future this winter.Nov 1, 2010 at 10:11 pm #1660256

Drafts are no fun…
So borrow a Lighter/LessWarm bag. Keep it tight to eliminate the drafts, and then sleep cooler.Nov 1, 2010 at 11:33 pm #1660267
what bag are you using right now?Nov 2, 2010 at 2:57 am #1660279
> but the slightest draft makes me uncomfortable
Interesting comment. Forgive me if I meander a bit.
I wonder whether the enthusiasm for bivy bags and UL tarps has led people to over-specify their bags or quilts for this very reason? I do know that in my UL tent we do NOT get bad drafts, and so we manage to sleep perhaps warmer per down-weight than most.
I wonder whether the draft-stopping properties of a tent have been badly under-rated? Of course you could use a bivy bag for this, but a bivy bag puts any condensation straight onto the outer shell of your quilt or bag, while in a tent the condensation is … miles … away. This would be consistent with our experiences.
Comments anyone?
cheersNov 2, 2010 at 5:09 am #1660291
Eric, I'm using a Marmot 15F Pinnacle. I'd get a different one if I could right now, but it's still a good bag.
Roger, that's an avenue that I'm not sure has been explored here yet. Alluded to, yes, but I can't recall a specific thread on it.
Unfortunately I have no memorable experience with solid wall tents in winter since my backpacking and BPLing coincided from the get go. Drafty shelters from the beginning.
People will talk of drafty tents as helping condensation inside the tent, but I'm not sure it has a positive effect on moisture inside the BAG, since most shells are wind resistant.
But you do have those who swear by tarps in winter and do not mention DBS (damp bag syndrome). Are they lucky? In denial? Able to manage their sleeping system much better?Nov 2, 2010 at 5:39 am #1660295
what temps are you sleeping on average when you sweat travis?
the pinnacle is en rated down to 10F for the average Herr Deutchesman … lol
if yr healthier or younger … its probably even warmer for ya
roger's likely right in that youre sleeping too warm for the temp
try unzipping the bag and using it like a quilt
personally i sweat like a pig but dont worry about it too much since i use a synthetic bag …
as to tents and bivies … every alpinist or wanna be alpinist knows that when given a choice to use a tent or cave … limits condensation, its a few degrees warmer, gives wind protection, etc …
bivies are for when you dont plan to spend the night, when you cant dig a cave, when there's no room on the ledge, or when you have a synthetic bag and just wanna play tough guy
notice how even bear gryllis almost never bivies in the open in winter … well we all know he sleeps in a trailer ;)Nov 2, 2010 at 8:31 am #1660338

I like to use a bivysack because it keeps out drafts. I can
sleep with my sleeping bag unzipped and used like a quilt
and the bivy keeps the bag clean and in reach but I vent
easily by just pulling part of the sleeping bag back. Unless
it is very windy or buggy, I leave my head out of the bivysack
using the gear filled hood like a big pillow.
Kind of like sleeping with a quilt at home, thermo regulation
is done by exposing various body parts from under the open
sleeping bag. The bivy keeps off the
bugs, wind and dew. If the bivy gets a bit sodden from
condensation, it is still lighter to carry than a
sodden tent.Nov 2, 2010 at 9:39 am #1660359

Travis, if you're using a 15*F bag zipped up on 40-60*F summer nights… well, yeah, you're going to sleep way too warm and be drenched in sweat. Even in northern Michigan & Minnesota 3-season use a 32F* bag is usually plenty warm; if zipped up in summertime usually too hot. If you have to zip up for drafts, you need a cooler bag.
Roger, "I wonder whether the draft-stopping properties of a tent have been badly under-rated?" My experiences have been like yours. Prefer tents for draft-stopping & minimal condensation. Sounds like "draft-stopping" should lead to more condensation, but hasn't been my experience. I've also found that I'm more… aware of drafts & more occupied in minimizing them while sleeping under a tarp. I prefer a bit less futz factor in my experience & typically prefer tents.Nov 2, 2010 at 11:31 am #1660374

Hey guys, more good info, thanks. I reserve my Pinnacle for when temps dip below 25F. Otherwise I use my Montbell Spiral Down Hugger #3.
I tried the Pinnacle as a quilt for the first time last weekend. Temps got to 24F. This was also the first time I had a warm enough pad as well (Kookabay DAM). I had a BAIAC, but when temps got below 20-25F, the cold crept from underneath–which may explain my propensity to zip up right away.
As a quilt, I believe there was less condensation in the bag, but still there none the less. This was also my first time, so how a quilt works for me will take some more time in the field to figure out.Nov 2, 2010 at 1:08 pm #1660414
Hi Brad
> Prefer tents for draft-stopping & minimal condensation. Sounds like
> "draft-stopping" should lead to more condensation,
Well, there's 'ventilation', and there's 'drafts'. Different wind speeds!
All you need for good ventilation is a quite gentle movement of air through the tent to whisk away whatever moist air there is. And it is best if most of the air movement is near the top of the tent, as that's where the warm moist air will be heading. Meanwhile, I'm down below the ventilation enjoying a comfortable night.
CheersNov 2, 2010 at 1:11 pm #1660417
were u using a bivy and tarp?
and if so was there condensation on either the tarp or in the bivy?Nov 2, 2010 at 1:12 pm #1660418
Hi Travis

> explain my propensity to zip up right away.
Aha! This explains a fair bit. In really techie terms, you sleep system is unbalanced. In plain English: you need a warmer pad, which may allow a lighter bag.
24 F – that's -4.4 C. That's not even cold! Sue and I have managed at – 7 C with 550 g quilts. Granted we cheated by snuggling together, but we were OK. Ah – but we had really good 2.5 cm Thern-a-rests mats with a high R-value underneath us.
I think this is a fairly common observation: people complain of cold bags or quilts when really their problem is not enough insulation UNDER them.

"I wonder whether the draft-stopping properties of a tent have been badly under-rated?"
Roger, I am in agreement with you, in principle and in personal practice. However, many of the lightweight tents in this corner of the globe contain too much mesh and/or have overly-elevated flies to be of sufficient value in blocking wind. My assumption is that some manufacturers have found it less of an expense to do this than to add proper vents in the fly and of course, it is one of the easier ways to trim a few grams.Nov 2, 2010 at 1:58 pm #1660436

Regarding: "people complain of cold bags or quilts when really their problem is not enough insulation UNDER them," I have to say "Yup. Absolutely."
In fact, it's amazing how many people I meet who try to cut weight by carrying NO pad, yet wonder why they slept cold in their warm bag.
Adequate under-insulation is key in making any sleep system work effectively or efficiently.
Edit: If you're using the bag at temps under 25, but still find that you're soaked in sweat at whatever temp you're in, then the bag is too warm for the way you're using it. Perhaps you're one of those who wear multiple layers to bed, too?Nov 2, 2010 at 7:09 pm #1660510
Perhaps you're one of those who wear multiple layers to bed, too?
Actually quite almost 100% opposite! I often have just the sheet on me while my fiancee is totally bundled up. I don't ever wake up sweaty at home. Though, that's not an equal comparison.Mar 4, 2012 at 9:52 am #1848545

Hello and good day everyone! This is my first post on BPL, so you will have to excuse me if this is not the correct forum…. my question is this… I am wanting to build/make my own backcountry quilt (similar to the nunatak BC blanket) I live coastal B.C. Canada… same conditions as pacific northwest… any suggestions on specific shell/liner/baffle materials? Where is the best place to get said materials? Keep in mind i got a great deal on some (well lots actually-7lbs.) of Canadian hutterite white goose down-850FP… yes, i know that down is not the top choice for where i live, but again you all know the advantages of down. I need the shell material to be tough,water resistant, UV protectant, comfortable and downproof. I am leaning towards polyester microfiber… similar to what western mountaineering offers as standard on their bags. Any help on this subject would be very much appreciated on this matter… Want to use the materials to the best of their abilities. One more note- where can i find patterns for DIY sleeping bags/quilts, down jackets w/hood pants, booties etc. etc. etc. I did send Roger Caffin a e-mail and his info was helpful, but still am looking for more info…..I thank you all in advance for your knowledge and info.

I have two girls 8 & 10 that love snuggling in the bed and watching this with me. It gives us a chance to talk about fears and people that are different. It's scifi at it's best without too much gore--with the exception of one episode in season 2. I usually preview each episode and then watch it with them.
It's not just science fiction. It's a mystery and also a love triangle. The love triangle is fun to watch but not too graphic or lovey dovey.
Our new favorite show!
I've really enjoy watching this show. Looking forward to buying the next season when it comes out.
I absolutely love this show and can't wait for the third season to begin.

text: Getting a Gage on him - Cochrane Times August 28, 200912:00AM PDT Previous Next By Reagen Sulewski Cochrane's Ethan Gage has taken one step closer to his international soccer dreams. The 18-year-old defensive midfielder with the Vancouver Whitecaps was loaned to Eintracht Frankfurt of the German Bundesliga for a two-week trial period, where he's practicing with the squad's U-23 side. While admitting that there's still a bit of work for him to do, Gage said this is the start of something he's wanted for years. "My goal ever since I turned 14 was to play professional soccer in Europe in the highest league I can, so I've been slowly working my way over here," he said. "I'm getting chances here and there, this is one of the chances to get over here and stay here." Gage has a small leg up on adjusting to the German style of play, as his coach while he was with the Whitecaps' residency team was from Germany and taught him a lot of the ins and outs of that style, based on ball control and efficient use of the field. "I'm kind of used to it, I enjoy it, passing a lot and keeping the ball on the ground," Gage said. "I've been trained in that style before, I'm not a natural or anything but I've been exposed." There's been a small amount of culture shock for Gage after arriving in Frankfurt on Aug. 19 — not speaking any German, ordering in restaurants and shopping has proved a little tricky — but overall he's found it welcoming to be in a soccer-mad environment. "It's true, Europe is all about soccer, so to come to a country that's all about soccer. Sometimes I'd have a ball and dribbling it around in Vancouver and people would kind of look at you, where as here, no one would think twice," Gage said. It's been a busy summer for the young player, which also included a trip to Trinidad & Tobago for U-20 World Cup CONCACAF qualifying. Although Canada ultimately came up short, Gage earned valuable international experience against top teams like Mexico. "To see all these other countries and how good they are, it's just a good eye-opener," said Gage. Gage could have another chance to play for the U-20 squad in two years. "Hopefully I'll make the team first, but if I'm going to be on the team, I'll have been on it and know what it's all about," he said. The biggest adjustment on the field in Germany for Gage has been the faster speed of play, with less time to react with the ball before moving it along. However, Gage is taking that challenge as a given and is aiming at planting the seed with European clubs that he belongs. "Coming over here I have to show them that I can compete with them, and at least be better than a few of them. I have to distinguish myself and let them know I fit in," Gage said. Previous Next

Work and Wait (1 of 9) by Keith Krell
This content is part of a series.Work and Wait (1 of 9)
Series: No Rest for the Righteous
Keith Krell
1 Thessalonians 1:1-10
Do you have a favorite sports team? If so, I want you to lock that team into your mind for just a moment. Perhaps you graduated from the UW or WSU, so you are a die-hard Husky or Cougar. If so, God bless you. What happens when your favorite team wins a big game? You respond like this: "WE DID IT! WE WON!" You may run around the living room high-fiving, chest-bumping, and doing a little jig. Now my question is: What role did you play in this victory? Maybe you bought a jersey or a cap, but the truth is you didn't do anything that contributed to your team's success. Yet, you feel intense ownership because this is YOUR team.
If you and I can feel this strongly about our favorite sports team, how much more intense should our feelings be for our local church? We need to think of the church as "we," not "they." Although churches are made up of individuals, when you and I speak of the church we must never say "they." Instead we should say "we"...for we are the church! In the book of 1 Thessalonians, we will learn about a church that we can get excited about. Although there are no "perfect" churches, the church in Thessalonica is a model church. As we study this church, we will learn how we can be a church that glorifies God and leads the world to Him. Specifically, in 1 Thess 1:1-10, we will see that God uses the church to encourage leaders. Encouragement is found in the lives that we live.
1. Leaders need encouragement in ministry (1:1-5). In this first section, we discover that even godly and competent leaders need encouragement. Even though many leaders look confident and secure on the outside, on the inside they can be discouraged and insecure. God's leaders are constantly under attack from Satan and need to be encouraged. In 1:1, Paul introduces his letter with these words: "Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father ...

Discussion in 'Fiesta ST Sales and Service' started by Nisten, Jan 26, 2014.
Did you get quotes for both 24 months and 36 months? I've heard that lately 24 months is much lower.
Remove Advertisement
Mine's in the 650 range right now, my wife's is a little bit higher, should I have her as a co-signer?
36 was higher, can't remember by how much... Sorry...Thinking around 50 to 75 more... Credit came in @ 733. To buy @ 2.9% interest with same down payment would have been $291 a month for 60 months
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Hmm, not bad at all really. Thanks for the info, was just curious as i didn't ask for 24 pricing because normally its more expensive, not less.
If she doesnt mind, I would have her at least try.My credit is around the same 650 range and with out my co-signer I was looking at like $500/Month payments.
Yeah, low credit is a son-of-a-gun.
Interesting that you leased a Focus ST in Allegheny County for the rate quoted on the website. I live in the same county, and contact local dealers and am being quoted around $415 a month. I can understand some difference, but more than twice? Without even looking at my credit score (Excellent) or asking about money down? That's little crazy. I guess I will have to head out to Central PA!
I know in CT they include the property taxes in the lease price (by law). That results in much higher payments here than advertised on the website. Maybe some counties in PA do that too?
I shopped around and found a dealer who didn't spew BS from every orifice (it took a while) and got very close to the $200/mo I wanted. I am on a 24 hour test drive and will only keep it if I really like it. (Spoiler alert: I Really Freaking Like It!!!)
200$??!?!?! How did you manage that? How many Months/Miles?
I could easily see getting $200/m on a base or very low optioned FiST.
You can get $250/m 12k year / 24m leases on a fully loaded Sunroof/nav/recaros/rado FiST.
For $200 a month for 2 years, even a base car seems pretty awesome for a toy.
The guy with the MKS, that's doing it right !!! 12.9@105mph is hooking up and leaving hard as crap !!! STi guys be jealous I bet !!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It seems Ford's national website doesn't always convert to local reality.
Also, a big down payment on a short-term lease can really drive the payment. Crude math says a $2400 down payment on a 24 month lease should knock the payment down by (wait for it!) $100/month. But spread over a 36 month lease, that same $2400 only saves you $66/month. You'd need (ta-da!) $3600 down to trim the payment by $100/month on a 36 month lease. Salespeople don't seem qualified to juggle these numbers (I don't know that I am either!) but it really makes pricing a lease hard.
My treshold for silliness was $200/month, so I came up with $3500 (or whatever I said months ago when I remembered it better) down to squish the payment down to $200.
Oh, and the car is worth every penny. My tuned Lincoln is much quicker but not half as interesting.
The Fiesta is as more fun than a Lotus or Boxster because it's practical enough to use all the time and so fun you really don't want to drive anything else!
Warning: Off-topic!
I took the Lincoln to the local flashlight drags a few weeks ago....more than an 1/8 mile but not quite a 1/4. People looked at me in my 6-cylinder automatic sedan like I was lost.
The "track" was slick and launching the RWD cars was hard. Brake-raced hard, my Lincoln might normally spin for about 2 feet but it was scratching for 10-15 feet that day.
I did lose to a very sublte Volvo 940 with a small block Chevy under the hood. Maybe I should have turned the A/C off for that one! Otherwise, the hot-rod Lincoln got the better of a Porsche Cayman,6.0 GTO (twice), Lexus IS-F, Hemi Challenger R/T 6-speed (twice) and a '55 Chevy running nitrous.
And then my wife and 3 kids got back in the car, turned on the air-conditioned seats and got 24mpg on the way home.
Sorry for the topic-detour!

Aliens vs. Predator: DirectX 11 benchmarks and graphics comparison
With DirectX 11 Aliens vs. Predator offers anti-aliasing, tessellated Aliens and better shadows. PC Games Hardware compares the DirectX 11 graphics and performance with the DirectX 9 mode.
While the multiplayer demo of Aliens vs. Predator offered DirectX 9 only, the retail version also benefits from DirectX 10 and DirectX 11.
Aliens vs. Predator: DirectX 11 graphics comparison
If you launch aliens vs. Predator with a Radeon HD 5000 graphics card, the game offers extended video options with three DirectX 11 exclusive settings: Anti-Aliasing, Tessellation and advanced shadows.
The anti-aliasing only smoothes the polygon edges while Alpha Tests and Shader are not changed. But since aliens vs. Predator uses quite a lot of blur effects, the image doesn't tend to flicker often anyway. The Tessellation is primarily used for the aliens and more or less 'inflates' them - taking a closer look reveals that the Xenomorph model is more detailed and rounder. The advanced shadows don't actually matter since it is unlikely that you will recognize them during normal gaming. But if you take a close look at close range you will notice a slightly better edge filtering. The comparisons below demonstrate the difference:
Aliens vs. Predator: DirectX 11 benchmarks
For our tests we use a scripted sequence from the beginning of the Marine campaign where a alien breaks through a door. The graphics card of our test system is a Radeon HD 5870. In comparison to the DirectX 9 mode that delivers 65 frames per second on average, the framerate decreases to 44 fps with advanced shadows. With Tessellation activated additionally the performance is lowered slightly to 41 fps and with 4x anti-aliasing the framerate drops to 29 fps - less than half the speed of DX9. But the scene we use for our tests utilizes masses of anti-aliasing and Tessellation, usually the framerate is higher and drops in fights with aliens only. Since the advanced shadows and the Tessellation are not really visible during normal gameplay, we recommend you deactivate them to get better framerates.
According to Rebellion you can also use the DirectX 11 path if you have a DirectX 10 card and thus get a performance benefit in comparison to the DirectX 9 mode. Our test with a Geforce GTX 280 confirms this, but Aliens vs. Predator crashes regularly. Similar problems have been reported in different forums already, so you should stick to DX9 until the problem is fixed.
In our gallery you can find several DirectX 11 screenshots which have been taken at 2560 x 1600 pixels with full DX 11 details, 4x MSAA and 16:1 anisotropic filtering on a Radeon HD 5870.

Rising floodwaters and the danger of gas meant rescuers were unable to reach the areas where the remaining miners are believed to have been trapped.
The discovery of five bodies at the coal pit in Shanxi Province in northern China also dashed hopes that they would be found alive. A total of 115 workers were brought to safety yesterday after surviving for eight days underground by eating sawdust and strapping themselves to the walls of the shafts with their belts to avoid drowning while they slept.
It was a rare piece of good news for China's mining industry, the deadliest in the world, and the dramatic rescue was broadcast live on television. Five bodies were removed from the mine last night but rescue efforts were continuing.

Bell announces smart helmet with 360degree video camera
New Bell helmet can record 360degree video and will warn riders of potential dangers
WITH more riders choosing to record their rides, it was only a matter of time before someone made a helmet that includes an integrated camera and it seems like Bell has gotten there first with the Star with 360Fly, which it's just unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The Star with 360Fly, which will be on sale at the end of the year, is based on Bell's existing Star helmet and has a detachable 360-degree 4k video camera made by 360Fly, which is integrated into the top of the shell.
The camera features built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, which will allow users to live-stream video and wirelessly transfer files to a computer or other device. It's also equipped with a GPS sensor for geotagging locations, plus a barometer/altimeter and accelerometer to gather additional information to supplement video footage. The battery will last a claimed two hours.
Interestingly Bell's parent company BRG Sport says the new helmet will have collision avoidance alerts that inform the rider of potential oncoming dangers that are outside his/her field of vision. Bell hasn't gone into any depth to explain how this system will work but has said that it will be tested over the coming months prior to the helmet going on sale.
It's too early for a price but seeing as the Bell Star Carbon costs £499.99 and the 360Fly costs over £400, it's a likely to be an expensive lid.
