To DaerdunMature
Kaer was tightening supplies on the back of the caravan as the sun was sitting on the horizon, spreading a warm glow. Since the arrival of Racieus and Sigurd many spirits were lifted because of their prowess on the field. On some of their faces you could see the return of hope. This also lifted a heavy burden off of Kaer shoulders for he had taken the duty to fight, and I keep the people moving on their own two feet. They were almost ready to head to the strong hold of Daerdun which would be quite a ways through the hills of Azeran, hopefully they wouldn't run into any more enemy's but Kaer had a feeling that wasn't going to happen.
"Jaren, have you got everybody into posistion. Also do we have any more volunteers ready to take watch, and scouting?" Kaer asked an elderly man with an eye patch and a few dried up blood stains on his side. He wore a greyish brown cloak that had been tattered but underneath that was a deadly arsenal of Short swords and daggers embued with enchantments he had made himself.
"Yes, however we do not have enough men to make scouting teams."He replied, this information did not surprise Kaer at all.
"Put me on it then, Go find our new friends and put them on the same team. We'll be today's team. "
"And if they say no?"
"I don't think they will say no, but if they do I will give em a nasty curse. Don't tell them that of course." Kaer smiled jumping down from the caravan.
" I doubt you could ever hit me with an effective curse!" Racieus said coming around the corner," Half Elf."
"Its Kaer my small friend, I have at least made an attempt to remember your name Racieus." Kaer smiled," Will you join me on scout duty?"
"Beats lazing around in the back." He yawned.
"And you Sigurd?" Kaer said seeing his feet dangling above him, as he sat on the caravan.
"Sure, although I would prefer it if the short one kept his mouth closed."
"Alright Jaren, we have our first team. If nobody volunteers start assigning. We're leaving now."
Later that day the sun was now at its highest point in the sky, and the three members of the scout team had found nothing just more rolling, grassy hills, they did not even find the slightest trace of Orcs. Kaer was by far the most quiet of the group seeing that Racieus tried his hardest to annoy Sigurd, as Sigurd made snide comments about the halflings height. Kaer was getting very bored of hearing it all when they reached the crest of the next hill and witnessed a group of two dwarves, and a wizard fighting a lone man with a sword on the hill opposite of them. The man was on the defensive but still seemed to be taking quite a lot of damage but his strength was unwavering.
Kaer and his two companions rushed over and made just as the lone man had a sword thrown from the wizards hand, which caught his sword and, he yelled and dropped his own sword. He removed the blade, and smiled in a crazed manor.
"You three have skill." He said.
The had not noticed Kaer, and Racieus who were standing a safe distance away from the man with the crazed smile.
"You. You must be some kind of Demimmortal. To have taken wounds like those... who areyou. What made you like this? And more importantly whose side are you on?"
The man sighed and sat down. "My story? My story. It is a long one... but one I suppose you have earned."
"I am Neradin Bane."
" Others have arrived." The Wizard said pointing towards the three adventures.
"Yeah I know they were coming, behind them their is about 500 more. I doubt their intentions are any worse than mine." Neradin said.
"We mean no harm." Kaer said walking steadily towards them," We came here out of concern."
"No need, I have no wish to kill these men, they are strong, and in these days it seems we need more people like them." Neradin said standing up," Actaully out of curiosity what is going these days? Since when did these monsters leave their cowardice in the caves they dwell and face the allied nations, and actually win?" None of them had a serious answer to the immortal. Who was now tending to his wounds with an ancient healing magic.
"I would say its because of dragons." Racieus started catching every bodies attentions.
"Not this again." Sigurd laughed.
"No seriously I met one!" Racieus yelled.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I have a new game. What would you put into room 101 from ultra running?
Not very PC Li i haven't met many polish runners but i'm sure they are very nice people.
I can't put my DNFs in room 101, because I need them in order to have worthy adversaries.
Sort of like how Sherlock Holmes needs Moriarty!
The inevitable blistering I get on the balls of my feet any time I go past 20 miles!!!!!
Right foot second Toe, nail problems, bruises like a bastard and stops me training if I run a marathon, its throbbing right now after weekend
"Barefoot technology"
What a load of BS that is.
Now rammed down our throats by Nike, Merrell etc to protect share prices.
So Nike is going to sell me a pair of shoes and charge me twice as much for a shoe that has half the materials, build cost, cushioning and technical design?
Either way how can barefoot technology be barefoot if I have a pair of over priced shoes on!
Am I the only one who thinks this is utter BS?
Worse still, we now have endless numbers of barefoot running fan boys preaching this BS to the world like it is some of new religion.
Passing/ramming down peoples throats hearsay research that they read in a book (Born to Run?) or in a magazine. Blindly believing every point as fact.
I am not saying that minimal shoes are wrong and that cushioned shoes are right. I believe in factual science and accurate research (of which little to none has been provided) and I hate to see Joe public getting ripped off by corporations blindly believing this garbage and hand over their hard earned cash.
The barefoot "fashion" (lets be honest that is what it is!) was the large trainer manufactures answer to being called out on the whole over, under, through pronation BS that research *has* proven is also utter BS!
Rant over
Ditto that..
Man.... you really mean it Gav.....
But I still like the words of Barefoot Bob... (I think), "Think of it (barefoot running) as planting an orchard; not fast food!".
Where would we be without such words of wisdom?
Not stoned?
Barefoot Bob doesn't exist you know. He was invented by a guy called Rob who works in the Vibram's marketing department.
Ok I made that up but still.... Vibram five fingers are nuts. I saw a guy at mile 60 of the Lakeland 100 in a pair, they were all f@~ked up and falling to pieces and the guy looked like he wanted his mummy. He was clearly in so much pain. Trying to scramble up the rocky fell.
I bet he was cursing Barefoot Bob over and over in his mind as I skipped past in my luuuuurvly overly cushioned, "incorrect" footwear.
As f****d up as they guy who tried to run a road half marathon barefoot.....? and I mean barefoot! Did not even get halfway.... Plonker....!
running tights.
Ultra distance track races.
I always like the question 'what shoes for barefoot running'
Sausages or any sort of pastry at aid stations.
I love em both but about a mile further down the trail i'll get horrendous heartburn and regret it so much.
Diet coke at aid stations.
Do they think we are concerned about our figures?
Haha, never seen diet coke at an aid station Ben...! Where as that?
Worrying about the weather before a race. We will have weather, that is a guarantee, what more info do you need? Get the pointless checking into room 101!
You know what, I can't even remember now!
I think it is a safe rule that aid station food should be as bad for the waistline as possible.
It was Pepsi Zero and since it was an mistake (can't get the staff) I will not embarass the RD further by mentioning where (I believe the OP knows the gentleman involved ;-! ).
Can I add the arbitary nature of UTMB qualifying points? e.g. Thames Path Challenge (100K in 24 Hours) 2 UTMB Points V. Thames Path 100 (100 Miles in 30 Hours) 2 UTMB Points - and I've seen others, because the UTMB masters-of-race-organisation only say 'finish within the qualifying time'!

The new teacher who later introduced herself as Miss Reginold swept into the music room as i took my seat, she quickly showed her authority by telling Nessie and Luke to shut up.
"Good Morning Class" she said, turning to face the 36 pairs of eyes that looked back at her. "I am Miss Reginold" "I can see why she stayed a miss" retorted Ellie, afew of the people on her table sniggered. "Who said that?" shouted Miss Reginold, her eyes were wide and glaring around for anyone who looked suspicious.
"It was Nessie." I knew it. She seemed like a troublemaker from the start." called Ellie.
"It wasn't Nessie. Ellie is lying." Alex folded her arms.
"Ellie is lying Miss, Nessie didnt say that" I called glancing over towards Nessie, who was hiding her face behind her hair
"Ellie, Vanessa, Pippa and Alex will you all please follow me to my office you will all be punished" Miss Reginold said simply
I gathered up my stuff and shoved it into my bag before walking slowly towards a small office just down the hall from the music room. Alex caught up with me and Nessie and whispered to Nessie "Are you okay?" "Yeah, thanks you two for sticking up for me." "Its okay Nes what are friends for?" I said smiling sweetly.
We all halted outside Miss Reginolds office, and were called in one at a time to receive our red detention slip which stated that we were to go to the Detention Hall afterschool. Fanbloodytastic.

Womens Tights
Gym tights are a staple in every active woman's wardrobe, these versatile bottoms can enhance your performance, keep you warm in winter, cool in summer and flatter your figure all year round, so it's essential to find a pair that's right for you.
Full Length: Full length gym tights are best for winter workouts, keeping you warmer in the cold and protecting all of your leg. These are also better for floor workouts such as yoga, where you may drag your legs across the floor and graze your skin. For heavy lifts such as the deadlift, opt for full length bottoms to protect your calves from scraping. The bar should shave your legs, but not literally.
¾ Length ¾ length bottoms are best for warmer summer workouts, allowing your skin to remain cool. ¾ lengths also work well for women with shorter legs, who have spare material in a full length fit.
High Waist: A high waist is great for multifunctional workouts, where your body needs the freedom to be able to move in multiple planes of motion, without flashing any flesh.
Low Waist: A low waist sits comfortably and suits a larger figure, or workouts of lower intensity.
Elastic: An elasticated waistline helps to ensure a personalised fit and will adapt naturally to your body. An elastic waistline offers the greatest flexibility and is also good at keeping you comfortable and staying up!
Wideband: A wide waistband ensures maximum comfort and leaves a smooth silhouette, holding you in all the right places.
Drawstring: Drawstrings are great for a personalised fit, customisable to your exact size. Drawstrings also offer a fit which stays true, whereas elasticated bands can sometimes stretch.
Tights for you body type
Women come in all shapes and sizes and we're self conscious at the best of times, so when it comes to compromising positions in the gym, we want to feel comfortable and look our best. Fortunately, fitness wear can be flattering and there is a shape and style which will suit almost everyone.
If you have a boyish figure
If your figure is basically straight up and down, you'll have narrow hips and a small bust. Opt for a tight which provides shape defining seams. Seams which line the curves provide shape to define your figure. Our Sundried Ruinette tight (link) has curve enhancing reflective strips which define your quads and hamstrings and flatter your figure, as well as enhancing your visibility. Seam's around the seat of your tights will also add curves to a flat bottom, whilst you work on that with your squats!
If you have a curvier figure
Women with curvier legs should opt for tights which downplay thicker thighs, a wide supportive waistband will help keep everything tucked in and a ¾ leg will draw attention to your ankle and the thinner part of your calves.
If you're petite
For petite women, the first battle is always finding tights with bottoms which don't drag along the floor behind you. Combine this with a higher waist which provides the illusion of lengthier pins and you're onto a winner. Women's tights made with spandex are easy to mould to a shorter leg due to the materials stretch properties, whereas cotton would need to be tailored.
Gym Tight Materials
Nylon is thin and lightweight, it wicks sweat away quickly and dries fast. Nylon can also have rip resisting properties, making it a strong and durable material. Nylon dries quickly, making it a good choice for high intensity workout tights.
Cotton is often picked for gym tights as it is the most comfortable against the skin. It is particularly good for resistance training where there won't be lots of chafing or perspiration risk, and comfort is prioritised over function, however cotton loses its shape after continuous wear.
Cotton Blends
Cotton blends combine the comfort and feel of cotton with the technical function of other materials. Combining cotton and spandex allows cotton to retain its shape and elasticity.
Spandex has 4 way stretch properties and is often used in compression tights and much of our gym wardrobes. Spandex is great for keeping you covered in compromising positions such as yoga or gymnastics. It is less likely to ride up you legs and moulds to your shape.
Microfibers are small synthetic fibres woven into cloth. Microfiber fabrics are lightweight and fast drying, making them an increasingly popular choice.
Compression Tights
Clinically, compression gear is designed to deliver specific levels of pressure to the affected limb. Typical pressure ranges are from 20 to 40 millimeters of mercury, depending on the limb and the clinical indication. Most who choose to wear compression garments anticipate that they will experience improved circulation and mechanics. It is thought that compression garments may reduce muscle oscillations which will theoretically optimize the contraction direction of muscle fibers, resulting in improved mechanical efficiency and running kinematics.Use of compression gear may also reduce vibration in skeletal muscle during training and competition. It is hypothesized that the reduced vibration would contribute to less muscle trauma, and as a result, less fatigue and biomechanical alterations during the course of an endurance event. Following the event, the combined benefit of these outcomes would be reduced exercise-induced muscle damage. As a result, athletes are expected to experience less soreness, edema and faster recovery in the days after exercise.
Top Tips for Women's Tights
- Look for high quality materials, which will not turn see through when stretched.
- Buy drawstring leggings - guaranteed to not fall down.
- Opt for tights with a pocket if you're training outside, you don't want to wind up locked out.
- Confidence in your clothing will give you confidence in your workout, make sure you buy a pair which will make you feel good about yourself.
- Look for flatlock seams, particularly important in gym tights as chaffed thighs can be incredibly painful.

Directors: Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman
Entertainment grade: B+
History grade: C+
Linda Boreman, credited as Linda Lovelace, was the star of 1972 porn film Deep Throat. Later in life, she became a prominent figure in the anti-pornography movement.
Lovelace is a film in two parts. In the first, a young, naive and compliant Linda (Amanda Seyfried) falls in love with shady Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard), stars in Deep Throat and achieves fame in a whirl of kitschy 70s glamour. Then the film flips back to the beginning and starts filling in the nasty bits it left out the first time round. This is a clever way to handle Boreman's own take on events. Like Katie Price, she published four autobiographies. (Price has announced her fifth, which would put her on a par with Julius Caesar – though historians think Caesar actually wrote two of his himself).
The first two Lovelace books, published in the 70s, were lascivious tales of her adventures as a "superfreak". The second two, in the 80s, told a much darker story of her being raped, beaten, prostituted and forced into pornography at gunpoint by Traynor. At the time, and perhaps still now, many have found it difficult to accept Boreman's apparently changed story. Yet it's clear from even the most cursory reading – or even not reading and just looking at the pictures – that the earlier autobiographies were intended as fantasy-pornography rather than strictly documentary material. Both Boreman and Traynor stated that Traynor wrote the first; Boreman said her later boyfriend David Winters, who isn't in the film, wrote the second.
Boreman faced much greater opposition to bring the third, Ordeal, to the public. She tried 33 publishers before she found one who would accept it, and they obliged her – as shown in the film – to pass an extensive lie-detector test on its contents. She stuck by its claims for the rest of her life. This makes Ordeal substantially more credible as a piece of historical evidence than the first two books, though it is so upsetting some readers may wish it wasn't.
The film captures the spirit of Boreman's later books, but it could be accused of tidying things up. Some of these tidyings are reasonable: presenting Boreman's harrowing account of appearing under coercion in a bestiality porn film called Dogarama to a mainstream audience would be, to say the least, challenging. More questionable is its construction of a conventional fall-from-grace narrative. Lovelace shows Linda being drawn step by step into ever worse things by Chuck, culminating in him selling her to five men for a gang bang after the Deep Throat premiere. The real Boreman and Traynor both agreed this did happen (though Boreman said it was rape, while Traynor claimed she "wanted to do it"), but it took place right at the beginning of their relationship – before their marriage, before Deep Throat, before fame.
Effectively, the story as told in Ordeal flows the other way from the film. Boreman's relationship with Traynor began as complete hell, and – though it did not improve – her increasing celebrity gradually allowed her more independence. Interestingly, it was porn stardom that gave her the chance to escape. As she put it, Deep Throat was "at once a low point and a salvation".
Without exception, the performances in Lovelace are brilliant – especially the principals, as well as Robert Patrick and an unrecognisable Sharon Stone as Linda's ice-cold parents. Seyfried gives presence to a role that could have been flimsy. Off camera, Linda Lovelace was a deeply damaged person stuck in a really terrible relationship. After years of abuse, no one knew who the real Linda was – perhaps including her.
Some critics have taken issue with the fact that the film ends before Boreman's involvement in the anti-pornography movement, alongside feminists Gloria Steinem, Susan Brownmiller, Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon. Both Steinem and MacKinnon advised on the film. Demi Moore was originally cast as Steinem, then replaced by Sarah Jessica Parker, but her scenes didn't make it to the final cut. That story isn't straightforward, either. Boreman later complained that some feminists used her for their own gain, though she remained friendly with Dworkin and MacKinnon.
A valiant attempt to make a fair and emotionally truthful biopic of Linda Lovelace – though the woman herself remains unknowable.

At some point in your life, you've probably lived with another person. If you were lucky, things will have gone well and you might have even made a friend for life. If you were unlucky, it was a grin and bare it type situation until you could move out. If you were really unlucky, you could have been saddled with a roommate from hell – and this guy thinks he is one of those people.
Said guy decided to write his roommate a horrible letter laying out exactly why he did not want him to come into his room – although after reading this, we are pretty sure no one would want to anyway given he doesn't want to have his room cleaned – and doesn't even want to be notified if WW3 starts!
Asking for sleep is pretty reasonable, but the amount of times this guy talks about his roommate's sexuality and makes it very clear he is straight seems a bit much – not to mention the fact that he seems totally antisocial.
There is a roommate from hell in this house, there is no doubt, but we think it is the man who WROTE the letter!

Villa Serena is located at 'Playa el Roble', in absolute privacy in a very exclusive seaside location.
Stylish settings, gracious hosting and luxurious accommodation, make Villa Serena a unique venue. Photographs in the gardens or with the backdrop of the ocean and a forested hillside, make your vacation or event-stay a truly memorable occasion.
Puerto Carrillo, situated along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica's Guanacaste Province, is known to be a jewel among Pacific beaches. The town itself is small (less than 500 full-time residents) and is predominantly a sport-fishing village with a variety of nice hotels, restaurants and tour operators. The population in Carrillo is mainly local residents and still maintains an authentically Costa Rican atmosphere. Puerto Carrillo is a small unobtrusive community that has been playing host to some of the most well renown sport fishing boats in the world, since its discovery as a billfish destination over 15 years ago. The small town boasts several hotels, fine restaurants, stores, a small airstrip, and one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in Costa Rica. The tiny harbor affords protection to a small handful of charter and private boats that are here on permanent bases. The beautiful white sand beach is popular with swimmers and an ideal beach for your kids.
Playa Carrillo ranks among the 25 Best Secret Beaches on Earth (Travel and Leisure March 2012). Just south of the popular surfer's paradise of Samara Beach, Playa Carrillo is one of the least developed spots on the Nicoya Peninsula. Framed by mountains, the laid-back fishing village has a white-sand beach just off a palm-lined boulevard (there are no unsightly beachfront buildings). Known among divers for its excellent coral reef teeming with marine life, the beach is protected by rocky headlands, providing calm, warm water for swimmers. Don't miss the La Selva Zoo and Bromeliad Gardens at the southern end of the bay.

Moving out.
I loaded my 45 with the bullets Flamera had given me. I liked it, it was cool. they made the gun glow red and feel warm just being in the weapon.
"So how are we going to do the this?" Misha asked. I grabbed my paper, and wrote: I'll stay in this room, along with half of everyone else. You can go in the room across from us along with the other half. then when flamera goes out, we can all move out at the same time, sourounding it. then Flamer can use her power to get out of the line of fire, as we blow this shadow to smitherines.
Mish read it, and told everyone else the plan. Flamera reluctantly went into the middle of the hall, and misha went with his half to the room across.
We waited, and eventually, from the basement, the door creacked open. Flamera stayed still, but watched with horror, as the leader shadow slowly walked up to her, his Red eyes flickering.
He came to stand in front of her. and was about to say something, when Pop out of the room, and Ara came out behind me, screaming "NOW!"
everyone came out, and surounded the Leader monster, who didn't even seem scared. Flamera popped out from infront of them, moving behind the circle we'de made.
"I knew it was a trap, i just wanted to prove that this couldn't kill me, that I was too powerful."
suddenly we all started firing, molten bullets and lazers flying at it, making the room sound extreamly loud. finally we stopped. it hadn't even fazed the Shadow. He stared us down.
"What that heck is this, even the shadows of my Home weren't this powerfull ..." Geoff muttered in amazment under his breath.
Suddenly the door opened opened, and the little white tiger came out from behind me. The shadow stared at it, and i saw fear in it's eyes. "AHHHH!!!" the Shadow screamed. was it afraid of the little cub?
What are you doing? I asked the tiger in my head.
Oh, you mean those shadows, I've seen those before. They die when I hiss at them ... She said.
The shadow backed away, and the little cub came closer . . .

@richard295Locale: San Francisco Bay Area
I wanted to reduce rain splatter from big storms when using my silnylon Duo-mid. I mixed 9 oz. of Klean-Strip Odorless Mineral Spirits and 3 oz. of GE Silicone II. I don't know the manufacturing date on the Silicone II but it appeared to be OK when I squeezed it out of the tube. I stirred it to make a uniform solution and then used a paint brush to apply it to the inside surface of my Duo-mid.
Three days later there is still an oily sheen on the surface and it wets my finger when I touch it. I took a cotton towel and wiped the surface down on one panel. That panel no longer leaves an oily sheen but it still has a "wet look".
What happened and what do I do next?Oct 10, 2010 at 2:18 pm #1653163
Hi Richard
First of all, the water you have been getting on the inside of your Duo-mid is almost certainly condensation, not leakage. While current silnylon is not great, the pressure rating is enough to handle rain and storms. So putting on a second coating won't solve your problem of spray.
GE Silicone should be OK, but I have NO idea what is in 'Klean-Strip Odorless Mineral Spirits'. Current USA regulations permit the manufacturer to include anything, and to change the contents as well. I suspect, although I do NOT know, that the oily sheen may be just that: some sort of oil included to help strip off paint. It is probably not very compatible with silicone chemistry either.
Wiping the oil off is rarely easy, so the sheen is probably residual oil still there.
What to do next? Good question. You could try lots of sheets of newspaper to soak the oil off.

I did the same thing to my silnylon tarp except I used Coleman white gas instead of mineral spirits. My treatment dried, but it did leave a glossy finish where I applied the silicone.
I think you should pitch your Duo-mid in the back yard, wipe the oily wetness off, spread some newspaper under the tarp, and turn the sprinkler on for an hour. If the tarp is leaking the newspaper will get wet.
I suspect your application worked.

Its probably from the klean strip mineral spirits. I bought the same klean strip odorless minerals spirits last time i tried to seam seal my tent. i mixed it GE II silicon as well and the mixture didnn't look right at all. It was a milky like texture that i ended up not using. There probably something in it that's giving your duomid the oily/shiny look. I say wipe off what residue you can and if it doesnt affect the waterproofness of the shelter then just live with the shiny-ness and next time use a different mineral spirit.Oct 11, 2010 at 9:49 am #1653387
Scott ToraasonMember
It has to be the brand of mineral spirits. Having sealed two Stephensons using GE Silicone 2 with a good mineral spirits my mixture was dry within hours. I used a 50/50 mixture but more mineral spirits just makes for a thinner solution.Oct 11, 2010 at 12:12 pm #1653418

I just checked the can of mineral spirits that has been in my garage since I bought my first Tarptent in late 2005. The brand is Kleen Strip. However, I've had no problem with oily residue. I suspect the forumula of the brand may have changed?
Considering that I still have at least 3/4 can of the stuff left that I'll probably never use, and I have had to throw away at least two tubes of the GE Silicone caulk that hardened on the shelf in the intervening years, I think I'd have been better off just to buy and use SilNet for seam sealing the several tents I've purchased in the last 5 years.Oct 11, 2010 at 12:46 pm #1653432
Henry SBPL Member
I concur that something went wrong with the chemistry and that it's likely the mineral spirits. FWIW, we buy gallons of "Sunnyside paint thinner (low odor mineral spirits" from the local hardware store and have never had a problem with the chemistry but I have heard of and seen several cases of seam-sealing that went very wrong.

I have had a similar problem in the past and I seam seal a bunch of tents on an ongoing basis. I had a partially used tube of GE Silicone II and mixed it with Klean Strip Odorless Mineral Spirits and tried it out on some spare pieces of sil-nylon as well as some caulk right out of the tube. The mixture never seamed to dry and had an oily sheen on the sil. The raw caulk never cured normally, was still wet after a few days and when it did dry, it did not adhere to the sil very well. I went out and got a new tube of Silicone II and used the same bottle of Klean Strip and did the same tests with much better results. The mix dried overnight and the bead of caulk cured and dried normally. This obviously points to the Silicone II as being the culprit but not sure if it had just been sitting around too long, was contaminated in some way, or what the problem was with it. I normally use a closer to 1:1 mix because I can control it better, but I don't think this affected the results.
I hate to disagree with everyone above (OK, maybe I don't) but I think it was the caulk. Try a similar test to prove it.
Now, what to do with the Duo-Mid? Not sure of the best solution here. If you are happy with the results of toweling off, go for it. Try some tests on a spare piece of sil and see if recoating it with a "good" mix will cover over the problem (before or after toweling off the residue).
I hope this post helps as I feel indebted to you for many of your insightful and information rich posts in the past.

Yeah, this isn't very helpful as a description. I suppose as an experiment, you could let some of the solvent evaporate in a container and see whether it leaves anything behind. It seems likely there's some fraction of the ingredients is not volatile at stp, and that's the residue source.

I've done extra silnylon coatings using the same brand of everything you used. I used the newest GE Silicone II caulk which is for windows and doors (window and door: http://www.caulkyourhome.com/ge-silicone-II-window-and-door.php) rather than kitchens and bathrooms.
Maybe the kitchen and bathroom stuff has a mildew-preventing additive which is leaving the oily residue?
My coating dried quickly with average humidity and temps in the 80's F.
I'd towel it down, pitch it inside out, and then spray it with the garden hose.Oct 11, 2010 at 3:37 pm #1653484

I've had good results from permatex flowable windshield and glass sealer from the auto store. It's already thinned and does a good job soaking into seams…Oct 11, 2010 at 4:59 pm #1653514
Danny WangMember
That stuff is great for seam sealing but i think the OP was trying to paint the inside panel of his shelter to reduce misting not sealing the seams. permatex would be much too thick to paint on and you would need many tubes.Oct 12, 2010 at 2:48 am #1653689
> permatex would be much too thick to paint on and you would need many tubes.
I disagree. I resealed an OLD silnylon floor in a hotel room in Italy using very similar stuff, with no solvent. It worked fine. I just had to spread it very thin with my fingers! :-) Yeah, took a bit of care and time, but it worked. I should add that some years later I am still using the same tent.
CheersOct 12, 2010 at 4:03 am #1653692
Timely discussion as I need to apply seam sealer to 2 new pyramid tarps.
One of the new shelters is a MLD Duomid that included a 1.5 oz tube of Silnet Silicone Seam Sealer.
What is the experience in using the Silnet product? Do I need to thin it with a solvent? What have you used?
In the past I've used GE Silicone Caulk II with mineral spirits. Seemed to work ok. Wondering if there is a better experience with Silnet.
ThanksOct 12, 2010 at 5:48 am #1653702

Im not sure if this is relative to this discussion, but house hold silicon caulking is supposable acidic, while marine silicones are a more neutral ph. This makes a difference preventing crevice corrosion of stainless fittings in a marine environment I don't know if the acid would be a plus or minus when sealing a fabric.Oct 12, 2010 at 7:43 pm #1653985
I had the same problem sealing a tent with silicone and mineral spirits the first time. It was super oily and never seemed to dry. Later with other sealing projects on silnylon the mixture improved with just a small amount of spirits to silicone. The mineral spirits can was purchased at Home Depot. Brand unknown.Oct 12, 2010 at 9:17 pm #1654020
W I S N E R !BPL Member
I had the exact same problem sealing a Tarptent. I used clear GE Silicone II and mineral spirits- the Home Depot brand people mention.
Exactly the same- 2 days later it was still wet/oily.
I called Henry Shires for advice. He suggested it could be a bad batch of silicone.
I wiped everything off as best I could (read: mess) and did it again. Same mineral spirits, new but same type of silicone(GE silicone II again). It worked fine.
I believe it's your silicone, not the spirits.
The original silicone I used never did dry- even in the tube. Something was wrong with the batch.
I've used the same combo since then and it's always been fine. I believe it was a one time bad batch.Oct 12, 2010 at 9:22 pm #1654023

Interesting observation on the silicone.
I was going to caulk a tub. The tube was unopened, but a year or two old. I laid down a test bead on some wood. It never set up.
Bought a new tube. It set up fine.
Thought "it could only happen to me".Oct 12, 2010 at 9:39 pm #1654026
Rick DreherBPL Member
@halfturboLocale: Northernish California
There are different formulations, and the earlier stuff indeed contains acetic acid, you can tell from one sniff.
The GE silicone II does not and seems to be what most folks use.
I bagged mixing the stuff in solvent because it seems to form a suspension and not actually dissolve, so requires nearly continuous mixing. I bought the best caulking gun I could find (stepless action) and apply the stuff full strength, straight from the tube. It's not the prettiest and may result in an extra few grams of sealant when the job's done, but it's faster and gives a complete seal. One tube will do two or three of the most complicated tents, while SilNet might need three tubes/shelter. An electric gun might be better but I've never used one.
(Of course, this is for sealing seams and not re-coating the fabric.)
RickOct 13, 2010 at 2:04 am #1654052
Hi Rick
> I bought the best caulking gun I could find
I transferred the Permatex stuff and some other stuff into a large hypodermic syringe (without the needle) and used that. It worked REALLY well. I normally run a thin bead along the seam on the pitched tent, then smear it down with my finger to make sure it goes INTO the seam. I don't need a lot.
You should be able to get an empty 20 cc (or 50 cc) hypodermic from a doctor or a pharmacist (or a vet) if you explain what you want it for. The vet is likely to have the larger size … for horses.
Now for the bonus point. The plastic hypodermic syringes are made from polyethylene, and silicone does NOT stick to PE. Does not stick to the black rubber seal either. So when I am finished, I pull the plunger out and let it all set. A day later I just peel the cured silicone off the hypodermic bits and put it away for next time.

@owareLocale: Steptoe Butte
A steep roofed tarp, such as a pyramid, may not need much, if
any sealing. Try setting it up in the yard and spraying it
down with the hose. Seal only the spots that drip.
I have used mids of both the urethane and the silicone
coated variety in very wet conditions without seam sealing
and there was no dripping. Condensation sure, but it clung
to the walls and wasn't an issue unless you rubbed up against
Sealing will help strengthen seams a bit and protect the
thread from UV rays (if done on the outside), so there may be some value there if
you are going on a long trip or to an extreme place.Oct 13, 2010 at 9:53 am #1654132

A bit off topic, but if you have unused mineral spirits you may find it useful to know that it's the active ingredient in Tecnu and is excellent for decontamination after contact with poison ivy.Oct 13, 2010 at 10:00 am #1654135
Dave, thanks for your insight. One of the shelters that I'm planning to apply seam sealer to is a 9×9 Oware pyramid. We just bought it for our Scout troop. It's good to know that the design's geometry means it is less likely to leak in the first place.Oct 13, 2010 at 10:58 am #1654152

@hikinggrannyLocale: Gateway to Columbia River Gorge
Since nobody has answered Phil's question about SilNet:
Just apply it right from the tube. No thinning needed. The little brush that comes with it works really well at getting the SilNet into the seam stitching holes.
SilNet is more expensive than mixing your own, but since it came free with the tent, you will find it a lot easier to use!Oct 13, 2010 at 11:43 am #1654178

Dalit women in India suffer from three oppressions: gender, as a result of patriarchy; class, from being from the poorest and most marginalised communities; and caste, from coming from the lowest caste, the 'untouchables'. Although discrimination on the basis of caste is against the Indian constitution and prohibited by many laws, its practice is still widespread, especially in rural India.
Manorama's career
Ruth Manorama is a Dalit woman. Born in 1952 in Madras, her parents escaped the worst consequences of being Dalits by becoming Christians. In 1975 Manorama took a Master's degree in social work from the University of Madras and has trained in both the community organisation methods of Saul D'Alinsky and the conscientisation methods of Paolo Freire.

She stresses the interconnectedness between these issues, and the common cause that marginalised people share the world over. Her work crosses the borders between grassroots movements, mass mobilisation, and international movements.
Manorama's working life has been spent on organisation building, mobilisation of people and advocacy on behalf of Dalit women through a large number of organisations. She is:
- General Secretary of Women's Voice, founded in 1985, to work with women in slums, struggling for land, shelter and survival rights of the urban poor.
- President of the National Alliance of Women, set up following the Fourth World Conference of Women in Beijing in 1995 to monitor government performance on its various commitments to women and lobby for change.
- Joint Secretary of the Christian Dalit Liberation Movement, formed in the 1980s to mobilise Christian Dalits for affirmative action.
- Secretary of the Karnataka State Slum Dwellers Federation.
- Secretary for organisation building of the National Centre for Labour, an apex organisation of unorganised labour in India.
- President of the National Federation of Dalit Women (NFDW), set up in 1995.
In addition, she has a number of regional and international roles (Asian Women's Human Rights Council, International Women's Rights Action Watch – Asia – Pacific, Sisters' Network).
She has also been a member of the Karnataka State Planning Board, the State Commission for Women, the Task Force on Women's Empowerment of the Government of India and a number of other state and national bodies.
Manorama's work in these different roles consists of organising and educating people, and speaking on behalf of the marginalised. She travels all over India, co-ordinating their efforts, lobbying and advocating, and building alliances between movements.
Working for the rights of the deprived
In the 1980s and 1990s, Manorama was at the forefront of mass struggles against eviction and the 'Operation Demolition' by the State Government of Karnataka. She led mass processions of 150,000 people along with other activists, demanding the protection of the roofs over their heads, a fair deal of security and safety and allowing them to live legally and with dignity. On behalf of the Slum dwellers, Manorama was involved in legal cases at the High Court as well as the Supreme Court of India. Since then, she has been working with the urban poor protecting and voicing their rights.
Empowering women's groups
Manorama has been involved in Women's Voice and mobilised the women at the grass-root levels since the 1980s. She has been consistently urging the Indian Government for pro-poor policies like providing infrastructure and basic amenities to the poorer women who are living in slums. In more than 120 slums, women are now mobilised, trained and capacitated to face the issues on their own and take leadership in their communities as well as in society. Women are also trained to protect their rights against violence, discrimination and deprivation.
Championing the cause of the Dalits
Looking at the deplorable conditions of the Dalits, Manorama felt it is necessary to work with the Human Rights organisations to advance the emancipation of Dalits. She has participated in several struggles against human rights violations, for land rights and for the cause of Dalit women. The Dalit women in the rural areas as well as in the slums suffer unique violence and discrimination. This led Manorama to form a special platform to address their concerns. In 1995, the National Federation of Dalit Women (NFDW) was established as a platform for Dalit women. It allows them to articulate the social ostracism and exclusion, powerlessness and poverty, violence and discrimination, which they daily experience. The work of the NFDW has had effect: Today, the Dalit women are recognised in the movements as leaders, Dalit women are able to organise themselves autonomously and independently, and they now demand a National Perspective Plan to be created for Dalit Women in India.
Working for the rights of unorganised labour
With consistent effort, Manorama has built an organisation for the women workers, unionised them, and struggled to provide minimum wages. She serves as one of the Secretaries of the National Centre for Labour (NCL), which has brought the issues of the informal sector of labour to people's attention and lobbied for a Comprehensive Welfare Bill and social security measures.
Protecting and promoting human rights internationally
Through her expertise on the International Human Rights Treaties (such as the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women and the Convention to Eliminate Racial Discrimination) Manorama has exposed violence and gender discrimination faced by Dalit women at various platforms including the UN committees. The concerned committees recommended that the Government of India take appropriate and suitable action to eliminate this discrimination.
Manorama has several times held public hearings to monitor human rights violations and demand accountability from the Government. Manorama articulated issues of discrimination against Dalits and Dalit women particularly at the International UN Conferences, e.g. in Beijing and Durban.
Interview with Dr. Ruth Manorama (September 22, 2006)
Q: What is the situation of Dalit Women in today's India?
A: The situation of Dalit Women in India is unique in nature. Age-old caste discrimination and prejudices operate to keep the Dalit women poor, illiterate, dependent, subjugated, oppressed and victimised. They display the poorest social indicators and dismal social and economic achievements. They lack access to resources such as water, common grazing grounds, roads and playing fields especially in the rural areas. Though they form the backbone of India's agricultural workforce, growing food for everyone, they lack the means to eat one square meal a day. Their dwellings are always outside the boundaries of the main village. Hence they are always at the mercy of upper caste landlords for getting water, firewood, fodder, employment, mobility and even to purchase basic necessities.
Q: What do you do to help them?
A: The women in the community who are part of the organisation are enabled and capacitated through the training programmes to deal with these issues. The National Federation of Dalit Women continues to organise leadership-training programmes and provides skills in organising and information on legal protection to fight against caste discrimination. They were also given information on how to access socio-economic programmes for their upliftment, many women leaders of The National Federation of Dalit Women organise village, taluk, district level meetings to articulate their problems and seek solutions from governments and building strong networks among themselves.
Q: What were your own experiences with being a Dalit Woman?
A: One is always reminded which social hierarchy you come from – be it at school, university or church. If you are a Dalit, people look down upon you as if you come from a very dirty and polluted background. One cannot escape caste even though you study in the urban cities in English-speaking institutions. Especially when you are at the age of marriage caste determines whom you have to marry; this is part of all Indian women's lives. When I was grown up I realised how difficult it is to establish myself as a Dalit woman in the women's movement because the higher caste women (who dominate the women's movement) tend to think that they are the seat of knowledge and intelligence and they only could provide essence to the feminist discourse. Because of my effort I overthrew this dominance and contributed to the formation of the Dalit feminism.
Q: The discrimination of Dalits is very deeply rooted in Indian society. How can you change these old prejudices? What do you do to make people listen?
A: According to me the caste hierarchy itself is founded by men for appropriation of wealth, status, and opportunities, to subjugate and oppress other human beings. There is no scientific validation in keeping the caste statuesque. This needs to be challenged by educating the people who face discrimination and prejudices in their day-to-day lives. An intensive human rights education for all communities needs to be provided to overcome the old prejudices.
Q: Can the Right Livelihood Award help to further your cause?
A: By awarding me the Right Livelihood Award you will be providing the recognition not only to the set of issues that I am working on, but recognising the rights, dignity and the due socio-economic-political share of the Dalit women who are at the bottom of the social hierarchy in India.
Q: What are your plans for the future?
To build the Dalit Women's organisation strongly and to establish alliances across other discriminated communities.
Political representation and participation of women, particularly from Dalit communities, in all decision-making bodies to be enhanced.
Developing new and young women leadership.

The suction cup on this unit is quite good. Placed on my windshield 5 days ago and it hasn't budged. The reach of the mound is also good so even in large trucks or vans, you can place your device within easy reach.
However, the normal vibrations make this shake too much to view my phone when using as a GPS. Also, the clamp seems a bit flimsy and don't know how it will hold up in the long run. It held my HTC Trophy with no problem and NO slippage at all. So, while it does everything it says it will do, because of the vibration issue, I can only give 4 stars.
I attach my GPS to this unit and then secure onto a Dash Unit. This can also be attached to the windshield. It stays secure in my travels and is easily adjusted for various heights depending on whichever vehicle I am driving.
By far the only product that fits my phone!! Had 2 modify it by not using the main arm it came with....I used Velcro just on the back of the main holder & perfection!!!
I purchase this item so I can take advantage of the navigational app on my phone. I should have read the reviews first. I agree with the vibrating to much statements being mentioned on the other reviews it just shakes too much to be able to use on long trips. I would have used the air vent option but when on the road I need my eyes looking forward as much possible. If you are looking for just a phone holder then is great but if your looking to mount a gps unit or use your phone for navigation than look for other options.
This universal phone mount is great other than the fact that when it is placed on the window, it shakes and bounces to the point where it is difficult to read if you are following a phone navigation system. The last time I tried doing that it made me dizzy to the point where I just removed it and held it. I am looking at other ways to mount it where it may not shake as much. For now, I will try to see if any other position stops the shaking or I will return.
Purchased this product as it provided more options to mount my iphone in my vehicle. I was uncertain as to where I wanted to place it for the best and safest accessibility. Only had it one month. So far, I have had no problems. It is better than purchashing one vehicle car mount and having to return it.
This phone holder is perfect for my iPhone, especially since I also use my phone for navigation. I ordered this online for in-store pickup and went to the store that evening to get it. I have absolutely no complaints at all.
Just what I was looking for. Attaches securely to windshield. Strong adjustable neck. Holds phone securely. Paired with my Bluetooth device, provides hands free operation making and receiving calls.
I have went through 2 of these in my car and both have broken where the screw attaches the holder to the base. complete junk
Works great!

The release of Sniper Elite 3 could be the perfect remedy for bored gamers during 2014's summer gaming drought. It looks like an incredibly fun mixture of 3rd-person world exploration and 1st-person sniper gunplay in a war-torn time period. The reviews are finally out, which means you can decide to pick up a digital sniper rifle or avoid it altogether.
These are the top 5 reviews you need to read!
IGN.com gave the game a pretty high score. They loved the game's wide open levels, diverse way of killing your many enemies and its amazing sense of gore. They complained about the game's lame plot and spotty A.I., though:
Sniper Elite III's open level designs and objectives pack in more than enough variety and stealthy tension to counterbalance its thin story and shaky enemy intelligence, and experimenting with its explosive traps is almost as fun as popping skulls with a sniper rifle. The skeleton-shattering, long-distance kills are still its riveting centerpiece, of course, but even without the element of dumb fun they offer, Sniper Elite III would still be a smart, unexpectedly memorable experience.
PC World – 3/5
PCWorld.com were huge fans of the gripping sniping sections and move to a different historical period of World War II. However, hey didn't enjoy the brain-dead A.I. and somewhat confusing storytelling:
Sniper Elite 3 isn't bad. It's fun enough, and the sniping mechanics are great. But it's a B-game, released during the perfect time of year for B-games and action movies—those slow, slow summer months. There are moments where it successfully makes you feel like a stone cold badass, feeding off your primitive instincts as you watch your shot roar across the map and smack into the skull of your target. Really, that's why anyone is playing these games, right? For the sniping and the ballistics and the particle physics.
Computer and Video Games – 7/10
ComputerandVideoGames.com gave the game a decent score. They were very much into the game's strong sniping gameplay, huge levels with multiple paths and massively grotesque slo-mo X-ray kill cams. They hated the dumb A.I., lack of close-up attacks and enemy detection/easy evasion:
The Sniper Elite series has never threatened to topple the Battlefields or Call Of Duties of this world, and this third entry never really comes close to changing that. But for those looking for a less gung-ho, more methodical approach to a war game, then ropey AI aside you could do a lot worse than this.
Push Square – 7/10
PushSquare.com noted that even though Sniper Elite 3 lacks the right amount of polish, it's still a fun shooter that's worth getting engaged in:
As in life, patience is also a virtue in Sniper Elite III. Those willing to spend their time slowly crawling into position, waiting for that perfect shot, will find an engaging experience that encourages experimentation through its enormous levels. While the needlessly graphic killcam certainly won't be to everyone's tastes, you'll be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable representation of sniping elsewhere. As a result, even in the face of its general lack of polish, annoying bugs, and laughable story, there's still enough good stuff here to recommend pulling the purchase trigger.
Games Radar – 3/5
GamesRadar.com were big advocates of the game's open-ended levels, strategic gameplay and the awesome feeling of nailing that perfect shot. They had problems of the kill-cam, lack of polish, flat plot and generic missions:
Sniper Elite 3's focus on marksmanship over direct confrontation is admirable, but its lack of polish or any real personality keep it from standing out.

I was thinking about a Bongo for the following reasons: 1. It's no bigger than a estate car so will fit in the area I've got available to park it. 2. If I get one with the elevating roof I will be able to stand up in it 3. If I get a 4wd model I will be less likely to get stuck off tarmac. 4. A diesel model won't be too expensive to run 5. Parts availability seems to be reasonably good even though they are grey imports Are they good vehicles? Are there any disadvantages that I need to know about?
