Ryongsong Residence[1] (also called Residence No. 55, Chosŏn'gŭl: 55호 관저,[2] and known by locals as Central Luxury Mansion, Chosŏn'gŭl: 주요 고급 저택) is a presidential palace in North Korea and the main residence of leader Kim Jong-un.[3]
The residence is located in Ryongsong district in northern Pyongyang,[4] around 12 km (7.5 mi) northeast of Kim Il-sung Square. The size of the whole leadership complex is around 12 km2 (4.6 sq mi).[5] According to Kim Jong-il's former bodyguard Lee Young-kuk, there are at least eight North Korean leaders' residences outside Pyongyang.[6]
The compound was constructed by a Korean People's Army construction brigade and completed in 1983 under the rule of Kim Il-sung. It was later used by Kim Jong-il, his sister Kim Kyong-hui and his brother-in-law Jang Sung-taek.[7] Since he succeeded his father as leader of North Korea Kim Jong-un has used Ryongsong Residence as his main residence.[3] The complex has an underground wartime headquarters, protected with walls with iron rods and concrete covered with lead in case of a nuclear war.[8] There are numerous military units to protect the headquarters stationed around the complex in possession of mass scale conventional weapons.[7] The area is surrounded by an electric fence, mine fields and many security checkpoints.[9] The headquarters is connected with Changgyong Residence (Residence No. 26) and other residences with underground tunnels.[8] A private underground train station is also inside the residence compound.[10] Besides large houses[11] and well-tended gardens[12] there are man-made lakes and various recreational facilities. Witnesses have reported luxurious interiors with ornate furnishings, deep plush carpets and fancy chandeliers.[2]

Honda confirms Haydens 2016 WSBK switch
The Kentucky Kid is set to join the Ten Kate Honda Team
HONDA have confirmed today that current MotoGP rider Nicky Hayden will switch to World Superbikes in 2016 to join the Ten Kate Honda Team alongside current WSBK rider Michael van der Mark.
Hayden, a former MotoGP World Champion, will be spearheading Honda's campaign for the 2016 World Superbike season on-board the CBR1000RR Fireblade SP with new team-mate van der Mark.
Hayden joined the MotoGP class in 2003 with Repsol Honda after winning the AMA Superbike Championship in 2002. Since then the 34-year-old has started more than 200 Grand Prixs, scored 28 podiums, taken three race victories and won the MotoGP title with Honda in 2006.
The American is said to be 'relishing a return to his superbike roots in 2016' and to be continuing with Honda.
"Well, my next stop is Superbike with Honda!," explained Hayden. "I'm very excited, obviously, to stick with Honda; it's where I've had the most success in my career. World Superbikes is a championship that I followed closely as a kid when a lot of American riders were fighting at the front.
"It just seems like the right time and the right team to go with. I know I've got a lot to learn and it's going to be a big challenge, but also I'm very motivated to start and learn what I can. I'd like to say thanks to everyone who has supported me through my MotoGP career. We had a good run but now it's time to move on and try something different.
The Kentucky Kid will be teaming up with 22-year-old van der Mark for 2016 – a rider who has followed Honda's rider development programme. The Dutch rider has won both the 2012 European Superstock 600 series and last year's World Supersport Championship on Honda's CBR600RR.
Team Manager Ronald ten Kate is delighted to have Hayden on-board and is more than happy with his team's line-up for 2016.
"It's well known that, at Ten Kate, we always have been and always will be Honda," said ten Kate. "There is only be one person in the world who could possibly be more Honda than us, and that's Nicky Hayden! That's why I'm absolutely delighted that he'll be joining us for next season.
The first test for the Ten Kate Team will be in Spain during the month of November which will allow Hayden to familiarise himself with the CBR1000RR Fireblade SP for the first time.

Learn what's trending across POPSUGAR. We couldn't possibly think about getting dressed for Fashion Week without drawing inspiration from our favorite street style stars. Each season they have us completely transfixed, rivaling the runway with their own brand of cool. But among the many iterations of street style and the countless cool girls, industry insiders, and dapper gents to follow, we each have one that speaks perfectly to our personal style (or our styling aspirations!). For our team, those standouts run the gamut from Emmanuelle Alt to Yasmin Sewell — and each editor has a special reason why. See who they are, check out the styling fodder, and shop the looks we fell in love with right here.

But if you look closer, she's a lesson in layering and proportions with a look that blends ladylike and cool in an unexpected way. Her long white shirttail has haunted me since last Fashion Week and forced me (and my poor husband) out of the apartment on a frigid, snowy day so I could get one.

Youth and young adults ages 14-22!
Parents and caregivers!
Formed Families Forward hosts Stronger Together peer-to-peer support groups.
We believe that youth and young adults really are stronger when they share their experiences and work together to improve their own lives and the systems that are supposed to help youth and families.
Our youth and young adult group is designed for teens and young adults who have lived experiences in one or more service systems such as:
- Social services (foster care, child welfare, family services)
- Special education (learning or emotional disability or other condition)
- Mental health services
- Substance use treatment/recovery
Parents, caregivers and guardians have their own group meeting at the same time in the same building.
Our 2016-17 groups meet twice monthly in Fairfax city. Groups generally meet two Tuesdays a month: October 4, 18; November 1, 15, 29; December 13, 2016; January 10, 24; February 7, 21; March 7, 21; April 4, 18; May 2, 16, 2017. Groups are facilitated by professional clinicians. A small fee of $3 per participating family is collected at each session. To encourage regular attendance, all fees are returned to those families who participate in the groups through May 2016.
We thank YouthMOVE Virginia and Fairfax County's System of Care for their support.
Groups are open enrollment; new participants can join us anytime through the year. Let us know if you are interested in the 2016-2017 Stronger Together youth/young adult and parent/caregiver groups; please complete the form below. We will be in touch with consent forms and information about group meeting logistics.
Questions? Contact Kelly Henderson at 703-539-2904 or email@example.com.

Hi all
I've a son who is turning four in Dec this year.
- He is bright and curious about the world, likes to ask questions.
- He takes to Math and numbers very well.
- He is always asking to learn "lists" of facts and gives all sorts of precocious replies to questions, etc.
We'd like to find out if there are some good enrichment programs which will help him develop, specifically in the areas of:
- Drama / speech. We would love for him to speak confidently, stand in front of a group and tell stories, etc. There are very few places that focus on this I think.
- Maths capability. Are there any good "math" related development programs. He is good with numbers and can count way up to hundreds. We are also interested in e.g. chess programs too.
- Also, any programs which teach "general knowledge" - what cities there are, geography, the arts, who is Mozart, who are the queens and kings of England, what is World War II - I would also like him to try some of these.
Thank you.
Drama / storytelling, maths and "general knowledg" programs
Find out how to teach our children, or find and evaluate providers if we cannot do the teaching ourselves.
Forum rules The Academic Learning & Enrichment Forums are intended for parents to discuss how to teach their own children, and to find out more about education providers. Education providers can help parents with their queries, do they are NOT allowed to promote their services in these Forums. Advertisements should be done in the Buy & Sell -> Tuition Forum.

Country: Morocco,
Type: IT & Journalism, Teaching & Education, Working with children,
While public schools in Morocco are free of charge and mandatory (but not enforced), it is still the case that many children do not receive an education. Volunteers are required to help with their informal education. You can assist in organizing language training sessions for instructors, teaching English or French, or teaching computer skills.
Although Morocco has come a long way since gaining independence in 1956, the government and population still face a series of challenges: the illiteracy rate is over40%, and for several years, the unemployment rate remained at around 12%. Moreover, there are severe disparities between rural and urban living standards and resource availabilities.
Volunteer placements are available in non-governmental organisations in urban areas as well as in the countryside. Volunteers with some language teaching skills are needed to assist children, disabled people and women - the ones who suffer the most from illiteracy. Volunteers can also organize informal English/French classes in local villages.

Eldritch Christmas Carols
A belated Christmas gift to and from my head, and perhaps to yours as well. A new installment to my Eldritch parody series.
As you may not know, eldritch abominations love Christmas too. When the aura of cheeriness and happy songs and goodwill towards men fills out insignificant little blue planet, sometimes, on a whim, the nameless messengers of madness will *forget* to use the ingredients to their favorite holiday foods, such as Blaspheme Eggnog or a nice ham marinated in Existential Dread.
Even Bob, (unpronouncable) host and cook at the critically-aclaimed Eldritch Cooking Show, knows that one can always work with a substitute, even if it tastes a little weird. Not that any of them would care.
And the same goes with carols. Absorbing the Christmas Spirit through their numerous tentacular feelers, my beloved horrors, and those bound to them, will begin to sing. And we will listen. And laugh-sob-scream. And just for a moment, remember that in their own way, they all really love us.
To death.
They have only a smidgen of an idea what Christmas means to us mortals, but at least they tried, eh? These are now available on FeedMeRom disks, and in morbid hallucinations near you.

Al3xandra is the navigator aboard the Novalis II. She is also a utility coder in the world of the Matrix.
Biography Edit
- Source from MxO archive
Every group of people has the person who isn't quite the leader, isn't quite the loner, doesn't quite belong…
Al3xandra (never ask why she chose a "3" in her name!) wakes up many nights with relentless nightmares. She will only speak to Zion doctors about these nightmares, but the story has circulated that Al3xandra was subjected to "alien abductions" when she was a bluepill teenager. Whether these "aliens" were Exiles or Machines, they left an indelible mark on her personality.
In addition to intensive therapy with Zion doctors, she enjoys her own "therapy" by flirting endlessly with the male crewmembers. WanNi and Odran take these in stride, but Vashuo often dreams up more and more elaborate practical jokes in order to stay on top of her "hit list." In response, Alex will often step up her efforts with Vashuo, prompting Lelan to often ask "when the wedding will be."
Sawayaka, like all good leaders, realizes the need for an outlet for pent-up emotions, and subtly encourages her crew's antics, especially Alex's. Alex returns the favor by becoming efficient and businesslike at a single word from Sawayaka.
Neurophyte has especially welcomed Alex as a role-model, and follows her words and actions closely. Alex, touched by this trust, does what she can for her, even painting her RSI's face when Neurophyte did so on impulse.

Making UpMature
"Are you guys gonna break up?" Grace sighed, listening to me complain for the millionth time.
It was late. I had just found out Jacob was back from a drive. Oh god. I was freaking out, man. What if he went out and "hooked up" with a hooker? Should I say sorry just to get it over with?
"I don't know," I whispered, chipping off the red nail polish on my nails.
"Try talking to him, at least."
"Then stop whining. If you're not gonna do anything about it, then what's the point. You guys are babies."
"You're mean," I pouted.
"Stating the facts, darling. You want coffee?"
"No. I'll walk by. Nonchalantly, of course."
She rolled her eyes. I slipped into my sweatshirt over my shorts. It was pretty chilly. I walked over the boys dorm room.
"Oh look, it's Haley," Nick smiled.
"Shut up," I said.
He laughed, talking about me with his dorky little friends.
"Yo, Haley!" Justin, Frankie's brother, called.
"What?" I asked.
"You and Jacob ok?"
"I don't know. How does everyone know about this?"
"Well, a hot girl doesn't walk into the boys' bathroom everyday, you know."
"Whatever. Have you seen him?"
"Yeah, he's hiding from you. Wimpy, if you ask me. I mean, you're so... non-threatening."
"I could be threatening if you actually tell me where he is," I whispered.
He smiled.
"He's right there."
He pointed to the corner. He was walking around, eating a cookie. He was texting someone.
"Jacob!" I called, running after him.
He looked at me, wide-eyed and walked a bit faster. And then he started to run. But I caught up to him, jumping onto his back. We ended up outside.
"Holy crap," he whispered.
I held onto him. My legs gripped onto his waist, arms around his neck.
"I'm not talking to you," he said.
"Fine. Don't. Just listen to me."
He didn't say anything. He didn't object. So I continued.
"I don't care who's right and who's wrong. But you gotta understand. I was afraid to tell you. Afraid to hurt you, babe. I wanted to tell you calmly and at a normal time and place. But I was pissed at my mother and it all just came out. I didn't think you'd understand."
"Obviously I don't understand. You're going to Australia! That's like across the world, Hales!"
I jumped off his back.
"I know. But, I'll call you everyday. I don't wanna tear us apart. And I'm not choosing my career over you. I would never try and do that. But I've been planning this since forever. I can't just not do it."
He was trying to understand. He tried to comprehend what I was saying. Finally, he sighed and held my hand tightly.
"Ok," he whispered.
"We're ok?" I squealed.
"Yeah," he said, biting his lip.
I hugged him tightly, wrapping my legs around his waist.
"I love you, Jakey," I whispered, biting his ear.
He smiled, slightly, kissing me.

The making of Our World War One interactive guide
The BBC iWonder team asked us to develop an interactive experience for tablet and desktop users to complement the three part TV series Our World War, running on BBC3. This interactive episode was commissioned and produced by BBC Learning, and my team and I worked with the Producers delivering the live action narrative to create an innovative, compelling and educational experience, exploring the possibilities of interactive storytelling and TV.
Very early on, we settled on a couple of outcomes that were very important to the development of the piece. Firstly we asked ourselves how you could realise the vision of "TV you can touch". We also asked whether ethical and moral dilemmas – faced by well drawn characters in a typical drama – could be written so that participating in their story arcs could deliver a deeper reflection on the journey they take.
One big challenge was how to introduce an interactive choice mechanic that resonated with both the narrative and the editorial tone. We were inspired by work done in literature from our youth, "Choose Your Own Adventure" – and stories told in this way, but one of the biggest inspirations was "The Walking Dead" game, developed by Telltale Games. This interactive story introduced some innovative moments of reflection, choice and forced decision, making the story more involving and compelling - and this was something we immediately built into own our own aims and objectives.
The producers and academic advisors provided a number of historical records and soldier accounts of the period, identifying situations soldiers would have been placed in demanding difficult choices. With historical events, a key setting and a series of difficult choices, we developed a story interaction model that would allow us to take the participant through the decisions and to be immersed in the story.
We crafted this immersion by breaking down the story arc and choice moments into flow charts to establish how the piece might work. Based on these flows and story dissections we put together "Tempo" charts to explore how a specific speed of user interaction might map across onto the pace and tone of the story at any given moment. Is it more compelling if during a tense, pacy point in the story, the user needs to decide quicker? Is that approach more immersive? In the end we ended up with a balanced set of interaction times relevant to the narrative and the decision at hand.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › First trip with new wife- what sleep system? also gear list for 6 days in Glacier
Feb 25, 2008 at 7:26 pm #1227497
G ZMember
My new wife is ready to jump into the backpacking world with me. I'm currently a mid-heavy weight backpacker working my way to "light". For her, it'll be all new gear so light off the bat.
We're planning a 6 day/5 night trip to Glacier national park in August with several weekend trips planned on the AT prior for training up to it. We're going with a highly experienced couple who has hiked the park before.
I'm in charge of getting the gear for her (minus the pack, which she picks from a good shop).
First off- we need a sleeping bag. I was thinking a 20 deg campmor down rectangle (2.5pounds) to use as a blanket. Any other ideas? https://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=86908&memberId=12500226
I have a prolite 4 matress already. I was going to get her another one and a set of straps to put them together.
I have a new henry shires contrail (not sure if it'll be big enough) and a 2 man Kelty Gunnison (5lbs but can split into two packs). What is best to take?
I have an ultra light canister stove- I think an 8 oz fuel can will be enough to boil water all week.
I'm still using a sweetwater pump. I still like my thermarest chair that uses the pro-lite as a seat. That's 2.5lbs of extra that I like to bring.
I plan to pre-prep meals using boil-in-a bag for our dinners. Lunches are snacks all day, and breakfast will be lots of oatmeal with brown sugar in it. Any tips for packing 6 days of food? My longest trip has been 3 days.
Looking forward to the advice.
And yes, I just finished reading the lightweight backpacking book I bought from this site.Feb 25, 2008 at 8:03 pm #1422053
Unless your new wife hates shopping (that would be weird), I'd let her choose her own gear. She can do the research and that way if something is not to her liking she has no one else to blame. After all, you want this marriage off on a good footing, right?
BTW, if you're in the Bowman Lake area around the middle of August, yell "TOESNORTH!" If I hear you, you're all welcome for dinner.Feb 25, 2008 at 9:15 pm #1422065

I would encourage you to make the selections and do the shopping together. She will feel more involved and it will be a good opportunity to work together.
> First off- we need a sleeping bag. I was thinking a 20 deg campmor down rectangle (2.5pounds)

I haven't tried that bag… but if it is like the mummy, assume it's most likely a 35F bag. There are also a number of back country quilts on the market designed for couples such as the ray-way quilt kit (2p). Is this a good idea? Only you and your wife can answer that question. Some couples enjoy curling up with each other to sleep. If you two enjoy touching while sleeping, this is a great option because you can enjoy a special closeness and share body heat which means you need less insulation. Some people can't actually fall asleep when they are being touched, are easily woken, or move around a lot which results in them stealing all the covers. In these cases a separate sleeping bag or quilt is normally better.
> contrail and a 2 man Kelty Gunnison
If you don't want to spend money on a new shelter, then I would take the Gunnison. I think the contrail is really too small for two people.
> 8 oz fuel can will be enough to boil water all week.
Given you are doing breakfast and dinner, I think you will want to do the larger canister. My experience is that the smaller Snow Peak fuel canister runs full out for approx 40 minutes, which is enough to boil 7 1L pots of water or 12 24oz pots in moderate conditions.Feb 25, 2008 at 10:46 pm #1422076

I just went through a similar thing. http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/xdpy/forum_thread/12046/index.html
The thing I concentrated on was to make sure she was not cold wet, or hungry. I took a bit more than I would normally so I didn't scare her off. We have been together for about 18 yrs so that may help.
As far as food goes for my 7 day trip we had about 550gm of dried food a day.
Breakfast- 2 satchels of the fruit flavoured porridge prepared in our orikaso dishes
Scroggin mid morning
Lunch – a satchel of supermarket style flavoured cus cus with diced salami in the orikaso
Arvo tea- apricot bar
Dinner- cuppa soups, then a backcountry single serve meal.
I only ever use a snow peak 600 mug to cook with as all I do is boil water. I got my wife a 450 so we could both have a hot drink together.
If you plan on only using hot water cook in the bag type meals I think the orikaso dish is better on longer trips as it is much easier to clean ( rub it on the ground) and is better than carrying lots of bags. Get the one with the press studs on the corners.
One last tip. Do every thing at her pace.
Good luck

Never buy clothing for your wife without her there! As for the pack – make very sure it fits her back.
Being cold at night on the first trip is not smart. But some thermals etc may be a good idea for that.
I find 750 g of dry food/person/day to be necessary. But we eat quite well.
Not sure that the single 8oz canister is going to be enough for the two of you for 1 week. I can do it for my wife and myself, but that is with cold muesli for breakfast. If you take the larger canister, you can happily make lots of cups of tea and coffee. There is some merit in this idea…

I would err on bringing too much insulationg gear (either clothes or sleeping bag) and having a heavier pack than having her be cold at night. If the pack is 1.5 lbs heavier, not a huge deal, but if she is cold all night she might not be too keen on going out again. Plus, if she has never been out before, she won't know what amount of insulation will keep her warm at a certain temp.
Play it safe so she'll go again!Feb 26, 2008 at 9:51 am #1422116

I've had a similar experience with my wife- the only gear she wanted to be involved in for climbing/packing was her pack and shoes.
She used to be miserable sleeping out until I got her a very cushy pad and down booties to wear in her bag. She hates mummy bags, so a more subtantial pad and insulating clothing were necessary to keep her warm. This has made all the difference in her warmth and comfort. I'd suggest renting a bag first for an overnight to see where her comfort level is. If she is cold- add a better pad and insulation for her feet and head. If constricted, stay away from mummy bags.
Make sure her boots/shoes fit very well, as well as her pack.
Also, don't load her down too much, and consider packing a fresh pair of "camp clothes" for when you are done hiking- my wife likes to feel cleaner and this helps.Feb 26, 2008 at 10:28 am #1422121

@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
Sleeping quilt style is an art. I like sleeping with my bag opened up over me in summer (15* bag) where I tuck my feet into the foot area. But sleeping as a couple that way? No way. I did the whole connected sleeping area ONCE with my husband. The man flips over all night and lets cold air in!
Hence…if one of you is restless (and one of you will be most likely!) the other sleeps bad as well.
Personally I'd find out how hot she sleeps (most women are cold). She may well need a 15* down bag she can open up in hot weather.
And even though she has put you in charge to get the gear, one way to build excitement is to take her shopping. She probably doesn't realize how much the gear needs to fit her body so doesn't see why she should shop :-)Feb 26, 2008 at 10:39 am #1422123
Roger BBPL Member
@rogerbLocale: Denmark
Before anything else I would suggest a short trip 1 or 2 nights to give her time to get a sense of what it is like to carry a pack and camp out etc. However, if you have done that then lightweight comfort is the way to go. I would bring the chair (my wife loves hers).
Many things are personal preference, I spent many hours in gear shops with my wife looking for a pack. She did not end up with one I would have bought, but she is the one carrying it.
As for shelter, convince her to buy a new 2 person tarp tent such as the Cloudburst. My wife likes plenty of room in the tent and she is happy with the BD Betalight especially as I carry the Beta Bug.Feb 26, 2008 at 2:32 pm #1422150
mark henleyMember
My advice ….
Make the trip really special for her. Make the trip about her and you together. Talk about it from the perspective that you can't wait to get out in the woods with her. You want her to have fantastic memories of this trip …. and you have to remember that women remember how things made them FEEL …. not just what they see and experience. You want her to feel special, you want her to feel wanted and needed, you want her to feel like she's wanted and needed.
You won't have the luxury of a campfire to snuggle around in Glacier, so make sure you pack a candle lantern so you have something to snuggle around.
Make sure she stays warm and dry.
Make sure she is comfortable at night. The number one reason that people try backpacking and give it up is because they can't get a good night's sleep. Pack the Thermarest or an inflatable mat for her even if you're using a z-rest.
Take her to your local outfitter store and let her pick out her clothes. This time of year you can still find some clearance items, but don't just order stuff for her. Let her go and try the stuff on. Spend a little extra on stuff that looks good.
Let her help plan the menu, and the route plan.
You carry most of the weight. I carry 30 – 35, she carries 15 lbs. That's the way it's always been, and that's the way it is. She'll appreciate it.
Take a 1L platty of her favorite libation and secret it in your pack. 1st night on the trail pull it out and propose a toast to the both of you and your romatic time together in the great outdoors.
If you have a local orientering club in your area take a class in map reading and compass usage together. Let her carry the compass and the map.
Never, ever, ever, EVER say a condesending or harsh word to her. Learn now how to keep your mouth shut and answer any question she might have with an easy smile and a straight answer. No matter if you like or agree with what is said or not.
Again …. and this is critical ….. make this trip about her and you together … not about you.Feb 26, 2008 at 5:57 pm #1422175

I agree with Roger, do a short trip first.
I agree with Mark — carry most of the weight yourself (unless she is a body builder or really wants to carry more weight — in that case, she can hike with my wife and I and carry our stuff).
The big question I have is what is your budget? The first thing I would consider is a bigger tarptent (like the Squall 2). My wife and I use one and it is quite roomy and comfortable. The only possible negative is wind in the face or condensation. Bring a little 1 ounce towel (http://www.ultralighttowels.com/) for condensation and just tighten down the tent if she really doesn't like the breeze (then you'll end up using the towel).
Sleeping systems are tricky. Two sleeping bags is probably the simplest and easiest approach. That way, you have flexibility (you can zip or unzip the bags). Just make sure you have matching zippers (matching sizes and one left/one right). With bags, you can get high quality down (from Feathered Friends, Marmot or Western Mountaineering, etc.) and get the most warmth for the weight. However, it will cost you a fair amount. Similarly, you could go with a complete two person sleep system. We use a FF Penguin 20 degree bag (nano fabric) (http://www.featheredfriends.com/Picasso/Bags/Product/SemiRectangular.html) with a Penguin Ground deluxe sheet (http://www.featheredfriends.com/Picasso/Bed.Acc/Groundsheets.html). The whole system is rather light (I think it is lighter than their web site suggests, but I need to check my numbers at home) and plenty warm and roomy. We like it a lot, although it cost plenty. Just make sure and plug up the little whole in the bottom of the bag (where it unfolds). Nunatak makes similar two person, down bags. I would stay away from quilts initially just because it is a bit risky (you may not like it). If down is too expensive, you could go with a nice pair of synthetic bags. I personally like the Cats Meow (North Face) but there are plenty of very good synthetic bags out there at reasonable prices.
By all means, shop together. You didn't mention your entire list, but one of the biggest improvements I ever made was in getting a propore rain jacket (O2, drop stoppers, etc.). They are extremely fragile, but pretty cheap and much lighter than goretex. They also breathe really well.
To me, the ultralight approach is about finding a good middle ground and then continually adjusting it. Sometimes you find new products that might shave a few ounces off your weight or sometimes you find a new approach that could do the same. This site is great for that. The Gear List page is a great resource for ideas. Weigh everything you plan on bringing and then post a list there. Folks will have plenty of ideas so you can keep improving. For now, don't worry too much about being ultralight — if it is her first trip I think you should err on the side of comfort, not saving weight.Feb 26, 2008 at 6:13 pm #1422177

Way before we got married I torture-tested my then girlfriend, who had never spent a night in the outdoors.
First the Halloween midnight caving trip, all wet and muddy. She liked that.
Then her first camping trip, 1974, -12 degrees F at night, perhaps 5 degrees F during the day, in the southern Adirondacks. Left her house in a blizzard for a three hour drive up north (don't know why her parents let her go with me, a hairy 19 year old). The road to the trailhead was not plowed so we started walking with heavy winter packs (really heavy, in those days) but fortunately got a ride to the trailhead. Walked about 3/4 mile to a lake and set up a double A-frame tent inside a lean-to. We had X-C skiis, snowshoes, thick black-ensolite pads, warm winter bags, an Optimus 111B stove, and lots of warm clothes.
Well, she had a great time. We skied for two days all over the place, cooked on a roaring stove, and slept warm and cozy.
That's when I knew…
I highly recommend this pre-testing of all possible future life-mates.Feb 26, 2008 at 7:45 pm #1422197

Elliott, what a hoot! That reminds me so much of my first trips with my wife-to-be. We actually met on a caving trip (wet and muddy – check) and our first backpacking trip it poured buckets (wet and muddy – check, again) then our honeymoon was spent snowshoeing with very heavy frame packs (0deg F – check), then another late winter trip with slushy melting snow (wet, cold – check) We will be celebrating 28 years this Saturday – go figure!
I agree with the above posters. Make the trip as comfortable and even as cushy as you can. This is not the time to be Rambo or Spartan and expect your new wife to tough it out. Let her first impression be one of immense enjoyment. Cater to her needs, especially her comfort needs, but don't be patronizing or condescending. Show her that backpacking can be a means to truly enjoying the wilds, and that sharing that with someone you really care about can make it all the more enjoyable. BTW, this can apply to any first-timer you are taking out – be it your significant other, wife, Boy Scouts or friends. Try to make their first impression one of great fun, not of an ordeal that they probably won't want to repeat.Feb 26, 2008 at 8:49 pm #1422206
Ah, now I'm gonna get all sentimental and crap!
It does take me back though. We met in June of '72 (I was the apartment manager/he was the tenant) and our first date was a backpacking trip in the Cascades. Six months later we sold everything, quit our jobs and took off across country with our backpacks.
That was 35 years ago and we are still in love and still backpacking!
Good luck and god speed!Feb 27, 2008 at 1:11 am #1422225

This is clearly an area well worth discussing. You cannot really go ultralight unless you have an ultralight wife (or no partner).
It's something the salesmen never tell you.
"Certainly sir, the Nano Stealth Extreme Cuben Tarp does weight 2oz and will shave 6oz from your total pack weight for a mere $800. However, your wife will be cold and unhappy and a cold unhappy wife will not allow you a good night's sleep.
Instead, sir, may I suggest the Blunderbus Extreme Tent. It weighs in at a miserly 4lb at $200 but is proven to be compatible with most wives. In fact there is so much space in it that the typical wife will feel like it's a home and be just happy to be with you. This tent also comes with a free boquet of flowers".Feb 27, 2008 at 3:23 am #1422228

If you're going to go the quilt route might I suggest JacksRBetter? They have 3 large quilts depending on what level of warmth you need. Great guys, great products, and they're on sale until March 15th.
Being someone who has been married for twenty years to a woman who has never spent a night outdoors I echo the remarks that you may only get one chance for your wife to enjoy it (I wish I got one!). If you cann afford some of the better gear you have a much greater chance of selling anything that doesn't work for her at a decent price. This website is a GREAT resource for that kind of info.
ENJOY!!Feb 27, 2008 at 5:56 am #1422237

@rswansonLocale: Midatlantic
I am going to echo other sentiments on this thread and say above all, make sure she is warm and as comfortable as possible at night. If she doesn't sleep well, for her the rest of the trip will probably be a forgettable blur. I would recommend getting the best bag you can afford and, unless you know it will work comfortably for several nights before hand, stay away from quilts. If you do decide on a quilt system, get one specifically designed to be used as a quilt. Jacks R Better are affordable and very well made. The good news is that if you purchase one and don't like it you can probably resell it for at least 80% of what it cost you.
Most women tend to sleep colder then men so I'd focus on a bag with a reliable temp rating at least 10 degrees warmer than the coldest expected temperatures.
If you go the traditional sleeping bag route, consider getting her a Montbell Super Stretch bag. My wife had a hard time with the tight confines of mummy bags until she tried one of these. There is simply no more comfortable mummy-style bag out there.
Instead of the Prolite 4, I would highly recommend one of the 2.5 inch inflatable insulated mats, either Big Agnes (Insulated Air Core), Pacific Outdoor (Ether Thermo), or Exped (Down Air Mattress).
Another factor to consider is the 'fear factor' of camping outdoors, especially in grizzly territory. I don't know her temperament for such things so hopefully this isn't too much of an issue. Make sure she gets the real scoop on wildlife and don't let her read something like Night of the Grizzlies. Tylenol PM might be a helpful item to bring along to 'take the edge off' at night.
Make sure her boots/shoes are very well tested. Foot issues are probably the number one thing that give novice hikers fits. If your wife gets a nice set of blisters on her first day of the trip, you're going to feel the pain as much as she does! Also, consider trekking poles for her if she doesn't already have them.
My last piece of advice would be about pack weight. This always seems to spark a bit of debate on any backpacking forum but I'd recommend giving her as light a pack as possible. The lighter the pack, the happier the she will be (unless shes got that rare, admirable streak of independence found in some). My wife and I accomplish this by loading her with all the high volume, lighter items like clothing, sleeping bags, etc.
Stay positive and be encouraging and you'll have the experience of a lifetime…hopefully the first of many!Feb 27, 2008 at 8:54 am #1422258
Since you're going on shorter trips before the one to Glacier, could you possibly borrow gear until you figure out what it is going to take to keep your wife warm and comfortable? It would be a shame to buy a bunch of expensive gear (and it does get COSTLY) only to sell it in September.
I used a ProLite 4 sleeping pad for years and it was okay, not great, but I liked the chair set-up. Maybe have her try yours out and see if it is adequate. I now use an exped downmat 9 year around but, again, that's a lot of money to plunk down.
I guess if you think this trip will either be the beginning of years of blissful backpacking together or the beginning of years of "doing your own thing" separately, buy the best you can afford and if doesn't work out……………sell it here to us! ;-)Feb 27, 2008 at 11:01 am #1422271

First of all, I want to honor the fact that you care for how your new wife will experience the Glacier trip. Some guys don't think that way. Also, the others have posted some sage advice for you.
I grew up next to GNP, have hiked most of its trails over the years, and in '06 slammed five 3-5 night trips back to back. I'm curious as to what your ininerary is. Some trails are more rugged than others, and the Highline trail NW of Granite Park can be downright suicidal some years. Generally, in August the snowfields will have melted, but you'll want to talk with the rangers regarding whether you'll have cascades or snowfields to negotiate. I've found that having trekking poles along help greatly in both cases. Ice axes or crampons are not needed.
The past several years, the low temps in July have been 45-50 degrees, and in early-mid August maybe 38-45 F. But later in August, as the long days get shorter, there can be some colder nights. I've found that my +15 F bag has been an overkill up until maybe the last week of August. If you are thinking of investing in a great, expensive bag for your wife, you might want to consider Marmot's Hydrogen (+30 F) or their Helium (+15 F). Those 850+ fill bags had a 1/2 length zipper through '07, which made it impossible to open up fully on a warm night. However the '08 models now have a nearly full-length zipper, which will make them more adaptable to a range of conditions. If you want another tent, and not a single wall, you might look at Marmot's new Aura 2P. It's a light little sucker, at a trail weight of 4# 12 oz, 2 vestibules, and structurally sound. I like mine because it actually has enough length for my 6' frame. It just has a 50" width though, not a huge living space. I don't work for Marmot, by the way–I just like some of their stuff. And if you are an REI member, you can score a 20% discount on one of these until March 31.
Canister stove: If you have already won the lottery and want to buy more gear, you might give the JetBoil a try. It's quite a bit more economical fuel-wise, and I bet you could get by for those 6 days on one 8-oz.(fuel weight) MSR IsoPro canister (my vote would be to also take a small (4 oz. fuel weight) Snow Peak or JB canister as a backup). MSR's large 8 oz canister, when full, weighs ~3/4 oz. less than a Primus canister. However, MSR's 4 oz. canister
weighs ~1.0 oz. more than Snow Peak's.
Other miscellaneous thoughts:
1) Some GNP campsites do allow wood burning. This will allow you to boil water for your meals and save some cartridge fuel. But it doesn't get dark up there until after 10 PM, so you won't need a fire for entertainment.
2) Don't forget your DEET–the deer flies and mossies can be horrendous up until the first week of August.
3) Bear protection: I usually carry one small Counter Assault and one 4 oz. miniature fog horn. The sound that little air horn puts out will chase off any self-respecting black bear, and it also will work nicely as a distress signal (when it's too windy for your whistle to carry very far). I think the best book on griz behavior is the one by Steven Herrero. You can read it at work so your wife doesn't get scared. The main thing is to hang everything that has an odor (toothpaste, all cosmetics, EVERYTHING!)along with your food bag. Nothing at all goes into the tent with you, except a flashlight and your bear spray. And when you hike, make noise, chatter, sing Jimmy Buffett songs, etc. Forget about bear bells–they don't make enough noise to warn an animal that you are coming, especially on a windy day, or while walking along a river.
Must-do things:
If you're in St. Mary, grab a meal at the Park Cafe. Everything is splendid, except the long wait.
At the Many Glacier Hotel, park in the lot above the hotel, grab a beer from your cooler, and sit on the hill at sunset overlooking the hotel and one of the planet's finest scenes. Then snag a bison steak at the Cattle Company back where you turned off hwy. 89 to get to Many Glacier.
Back in Kalispell, you have to celebrate at Moose's Saloon on the north end of Main Street.
I hope you enjoy my home turf. I always thought that when I became king, I would take over the place for my very own…and outlaw mean people, al-Qaeda types, and the like. You'd have to be a BPL member to get in.Feb 27, 2008 at 12:42 pm #1422280

If you take your wife camping for the first time in the winter, I have only three things to say:
Down booties, down booties, down booties!Feb 27, 2008 at 4:13 pm #1422307

Wow, lots of great advice! I'm sure she'll love the outdoors, she's a tough gal (Navy JAG).
My big concern right now is the sleeping system. She'll most likely be doing spring/summer/early fall trips on the AT here in Virginia and the big Glacier park trip.
I have a never summer marmot 0 deg down bag that I love. I was going to get the previously mentioned super light 30 deg version for my summer bag. My thoughts are leaning towards getting two of them for a his/hers matchup (left/right zippers), or maybe just a left hand 30 deg bag and we zip the two together and she can have the 0 deg bag side to stay warm. If she needs to "be apart" like she does in bed a lot- we can have separate bags- I don't think being too warm is a problem when you can just unzip the bag and hang arms and feet out.
I'll have to get the itinerary from my buddy to see what he has planned. It's basically a 6 day/5 nighter- 50 miles total with 10 mi per day with the 3rd day being a rest day (two nights in same camp) at "50 peaks" or "50 mountains" campground.
My surprise will be staying at a nice hotel/spa after the trip so she can get all massaged up and have a "spa day" which she loves.Feb 27, 2008 at 5:27 pm #1422313

@johng10Locale: Mid-Atlantic via Upstate NY
I'd recomend some minor changes from your original post:
1. Stop and eat lunch rather than snacking throughout the day. New backpackers need a 45 minute break to recharge. Otherwise they will be physically tired and mentally whipped at the end of the day. Also schedule a 30 minute break halfway between breakfast and lunch and another 30 minute break between lunch and stopping for the day. They are time well spent on multi-day trips with new backpackers. If there is no view, do some tree ID, look for wildlife tracks, birdwatching, etc. It's all new to her.
2. Don't get a rectangular bag. They aren't warm enough. Get a 15 degree women's bag with a wider girth (like the Marmot Angel Fire) so she doesn't feel cold or too constricted to sleep.
3. Bring a puffy (or heavy fleece) jacket, expedition long johns(100 wt fleece) and down (or fleece) booties for your wife to sleep in and wear around camp in the evenings. Even with a 15 degree bag, she might want the the jacket when sleeping.
4. Don't do freezer bag cooking (yet). Noodles & Rice like the ones in Lipton meals (etc) taste a little better simmered in a pot. Many times they are still a little underdone when just heated in a cozy. Soaking them in water for a while before adding the hot water fixes that, but often leaves them a little soggy in the end. Walking all day, sleeping in a tent, no bathrooms and no showers are enough shock for now. I also think the convenience of not doing dishes is worth the slightly worse food quality and 15-20 minute waits associated freezer bag cooking – but I'd wait until she's used to the basics before asking her to make the trade-off.
5. Bring a cushy sleeping pad and pillow for her. ie: 2 inch thick Thermarest, or 2.5 inch thick Big Agnes. You'll think it's way too heavy. She'll think it's barely tolerable. But she'll agree to come backpacking again on your next trip.
6. Bring enough fuel to make 1 cup of hot cocoa in the morning, and 2 cups in the evening. It makes camping seem a lot more fun and helps keep everyones spirits up when it's a little chilly. Also make smores 1 night over your backpacking stove.
7. Plan on carrying ALL the group gear. ie: Tent, food, stove, fuel, extra water, etc. She should just carry her sleeping bag, cloths, raingear, headlamp, toiletries and driking water.
8. I think a chair kit is too heavy, so I'd bring a groundcloth to use as a picnic blanket, or closed cell pad to lounge on without getting all dirty. After she's hooked and has to decide whether it's worth carrying the weight she may decide to just get dirty &/or damp and just sit on the ground. Too many "uncivilized" things all at once tends scare off new backpackers. This one's easy to fix for very little weight.
In general, I think it's best to start new backpackers off with "lightweight" backpacking rather than "ultralight" backpacking. ie: Ultralight with full tent and more comfort / convenience items than most minimalists would carry.
Good Luck !Feb 27, 2008 at 11:01 pm #1422338

@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
The only problem with some of the advice is this: if you make it tooooo easy, then the newbie never learns how bad it can be. And that isn't a good thing.
You know what? Hiking does suck and blow at times. You do get tired, hot, sweaty. You fall. Things hurt. Legs get cramped. Periods start on day 2.
Point is: you either have it in you or you don't. While you want to make a trip enjoyable it isn't a spa day either while out there.
Women are NOT fragile creatures – saying that all the group gear needs to be carried by the man is…well, sexist. Many women appreciate being treated fairly and yes, expect to help out by carrying their fair share.
I know that in every female I have hiked with not ONE of us has ever expected a man to carry our share (except when pregnant and that is a whole different arena). It is insulting in many ways! The whole point of going UL is to carry less junk in the first place!
(And to any man who claims that his fragile woman can't carry a backpack?….somehow the same women can lug children that weigh like a bag of bricks….)
Treat your female partners like they are a partner – make them part of everything. From planning to the carryout. Have them involved in decisions from food to clothing to what trail. But most of all, don't assume they need special considerations!Feb 28, 2008 at 1:49 am #1422346

@rod_lawlorLocale: Australia
I wondered if any of you girls were going to put in on this one!! (I did see your earlier post)
I have to say, I tend to agree. Yes, you should go a bit easy on your wife, but that should be because a) you love her, and b) she's new to this. It's doesn't need to be about her being a female.
I don't believe in death marching ANY beginner 20 miles up a hill with a huge big pack on their back. And yes, I do try to sneak in a few more treats for my wife than I do if I'm out on a trip with my mates. But I also don't buy flowers for their birthday, or cuddle up to them at night.
But if it all goes pear shaped on the fourth day of a trip, and we have to slog our way out of there I'm very happy to have my very girly 85lb wife beside me. I know that even if I have to hand her my whole pack, while I hobble out on a pair of makeshift crutches, she's going to carry it with a smile on her face, spending the whole time trying to make sure that I'm as comfortable as possible.
There are some really great ideas on this thread about how to make sure your wife is as comfortable as possible. Some of them are especially relevant to women, especially the ones about being cold. But ultimately your wife will either enjoy it or not, on it's own merits. If you're lucky (or have planned as well as some of these oldtimers here) she'll want to come out again with you. One day she might even plan a trip for you both.
Looking forward to hearing how it turns out.

Orderly ChaosMature
I swiped angrily at the tears on my cheeks and kept my head lowered as I walked away from Wolf's office. Do I believe him? Or more importantly do I still trust him? I raked my hand through my hair and paused outside the girl's restroom. Denise is a Siren, Wolf is a demon, my mother's been kidnapped and my ex-boyfriend is some sort of demon thing and the head cheerleader that I thought I'd never get along with has somehow become my best friend…
My life is in chaos, although this chaos seems more orderly but chaos nonetheless. My pressed my fingertips to my temples and massaged them, feeling a headache coming along.
"Akira are you okay?" Melissa asked from behind me. I turned to face her and shrugged.
"I don't know, I guess the whole thing with Wo- I mean my mum is just too overwhelming." I bit my lip waiting for her to pick up on my slip but she just nodded in sympathy.
"That's understandable. Hey I might go see if I can find that guy that we passed in the hall, you know the one that was with the new receptionist? Anyway how cute was he?" She asked in exuberance. I frowned at her.
"You don't even know his name, hell you don't even know who he is." I tried to reason. She rolled her eyes.
"It doesn't matter. He's hot, what else could there be?" She asked sarcastically. I opened my mouth to protest but she shook her head and held up her hand.
"You know what? Just forget it Akira. I'll go find him by myself." She said to me then spun on her heel and walked away from me. I stared after her blankly. What just happened?
Feeling more tears coming along I swept into the bathroom where I hid for the remainder of the period and cried for the very things I knew I had but didn't know what to do with them.
* * *
I slowly sank down into the sofa in Wolf's living room and regarded him warily from where he stood across the room watching with an unreadable expression. It's been well over four hours since school finished and around five hours since Wolf and I had our argument and we haven't uttered a single word about it since. Our conversations were too short and strained.
God knows how much I love Wolf but is that enough to fully trust him when I know
that he's keeping secrets from me whether they're good for me or not I have the right to know.
I got up from the sofa and walked into the room and softly closed the door behind me. I changed for me bed and crawled under the covers and wept myself to sleep. I don't know how long I lay there before I felt Wolf climb in beside me and cradled me within his arms.
I turned into his arms and sobbed into his chest.

IEDA EarthChem: Supporting the sample-based geochemistry community with data resources to accelerate scientific discovery
Kerstin A. Lehnert(1), Leslie Hsu(*1), Tiffany A. Rivera(2), J. Douglas Walker(3)

Three main points
1. Integrated geochemistry databases enable new science findings in diverse topics 1. EarthChem maintains a data file repository, synthesis databases, and a data portal 1. Disciplinary focus and user community input improve usability
Integrated sample-based geochemical measurements enable new scientific discoveries in the Earth sciences. However, integration of geochemical data is difficult because of the variety of sample types and measured properties, idiosyncratic analytical procedures, and the time commitment required for adequate documentation. To support geochemists in integrating and reusing geochemical data, EarthChem, part of IEDA (Integrated Earth Data Applications), develops and maintains a suite of data systems to serve the scientific community. The EarthChem Library focuses on dataset publication, accessibility, and linking with other sources. Topical synthesis databases (e.g., PetDB, SedDB, Geochron) integrate data from several sources and preserve metadata associated with analyzed samples. The EarthChem Portal optimizes data discovery and provides analysis tools. Contributing authors obtain citable DOI identifiers, usage reports of their data, and increased discoverability. The community benefits from open access to data leading to accelerated scientific discoveries. Growing citations of EarthChem systems demonstrate its success.
Geochemical compilations of enormous numbers of dense, statistically significant measurements have driven large, global-scale scientific discoveries. Examples include studies on diversity in MORB composition (e.g. Gale et al., 2013), global distributions of elements in the Earth's derma layers (Rauch, 2011) and global patterns of intraplate volcanism (Conrad et al., 2011). New analytical methodologies allow for increasing rates of data collection that should translate to more ground-breaking scientific discoveries. With this anticipated increase, it is not feasible for single scientists to compile "all available global data" from the existing literature. This inability highlights the need for data systems to provide support for data discovery, access, and analysis to investigators, who are otherwise left with a disorganized heap of un-usable data.
The IEDA (Integrated Earth Data Applications) EarthChem data facility (http://www.earthchem.org) develops and operates digital data collections focused on the geochemistry of rocks and sediments from a wide range of global geographic settings. EarthChem citations show that its use is extending far beyond its rock and sediment geochemistry origins (http://www.earthchem.org/citations). For example, EarthChem has been cited in diverse scientific studies such as prediction of natural base-flow stream water chemistry (Olson et al., 2012), a prototype of a web-based relational database for archaeological ceramics (Hein et al., 2011), and strontium and oxygen isotope fingerprinting of green coffee beans and its potential to proof authenticity of coffee (Rodrigues et al., 2010).
The citations, both within geochemistry and petrology or extending to new innovative uses, demonstrate the utility of the databases to the scientific community. However, the utility comes only after much work to address the challenges and complexities of data and information standardization, lack of investigator contributions due to lack of time or willingness, time needed for organizing data extracted from the literature, and the development and maintenance of systems that are useful to and used by the community. Geochemistry is an example of a discipline in the "long tail" of data (Heidorn, 2008), where individual investigators and labs hold troves of data collected with one-of-a-kind newly developed techniques. This type of data has its own unique issues in data system development. Disciplinary expertise is extremely helpful for proper documentation of data and associated metadata for reuse. A recurring theme is how to balance quality control with the amount of documentation provided, while giving proper credit to the investigators who originally obtained the data.
In this contribution, we describe the origin and current capabilities of IEDA EarthChem resources for sample-based geochemical data, list the benefits of those resources for scientists, and highlight some of the derived scientific results. We describe the options available to investigators for submitting their data to the system and opportunities for scientific attribution. We show how EarthChem has addressed the challenges related to long-tail scientific data management and contributed to scientific output.

Raptors hold off Pistons to stretch record streak to 11 wins
(The Sports Xchange) - DeMar DeRozan scored 29 points as the Toronto Raptors held off a late charge by the Detroit Pistons to improve their franchise-record winning streak to 11 games with a 111-107 home victory on Saturday.
The Raptors (32-15) concluded a seven-game home stand with the triumph over a Pistons team coming off a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday to move further clear of their previous best winning streak of nine set in 2002.
"This was positive, the whole thing, taking care of business at home," Raptors coach Dwane Casey told reporters.
"That's very important. As much as the winning streak or anything like that, we have to make sure we treat our fans to quality basketball, but that last quarter wasn't quality."
Guard Kyle Lowry added 18 points for Toronto and guard Cory Joseph provided 16 points off the bench.
Raptors reserve center Bismack Biyombo scored 12 points and grabbed 13 rebounds and blocked three shots, forward James Johnson added 11 points and forward Luis Scola had 10.
"We took advantage of (the homestand)," guard DeRozan said.
"Now it's time to go on the road and do what we have to do there. We dropped a couple of home games early in the season and the coaching staff stressed that we have to be more conscious of taking advantage of home court."

Level 2 Development, part of the team working with Edens to remake part of the 45-acre Union Market in Northeast D.C., is spreading out with plans to redevelop another site nearby.
An affiliate of Level 2, 320 Florida Owner LLC, bought the Burger King site at 320 Florida Ave. NE July 22 for about $8.8 million. It picked up the property from Lionstone Investments, a Texas-based real estate investment trust that had owned it since 2006.
L2 Principal David Franco confirmed the deal but said it is too early to discuss what the company's plans are for the 28,394-square-foot property.
The site is on the northeast side of Florida Avenue between the railroad tracks and Fourth Street NE, just next to the property LCOR Inc. bought for $13 million in June with plans to build a 188-unit apartment building. The sale was brokered by Mac Realty Advisors, which marketed the property for Lionstone with the potential to build about 200 residential units. To do that, Level 2 would need to have that property rezoned through the District's PUD process.
Even with that extra step, MAC Realty Executive Director Bruce Levin said there were nearly 10 offers from local, regional, and national groups interested in the property, a sign of the energy Edens has created surrounding its Union Market plans. MAC Realty Executive Director Andrew McAllister said that enthusiasm is starting to spread now that people can see the renovated Union Market and the activity surrounding it.
"People realize that this is going to happen and it's going to be a special place," McAllister told me Wednesday. "Unique is an over-used word in real estate, but it truly is going to become a unique neighborhood." MAC Realty's Ben Lazarus and Nicholas Rubenstein were also part of the marketing team.
The developer announced plans in May to build up to 520 residential units and nearly 40,000 square feet of ground floor retail on part of the site. Edens team for the project includes Level 2, Shalom Baranes Associates, Gustafson Guthrie Nichol and Bohler Engineering.
