Do your solar projects require batteries?
Just a few years ago, the cost and challenge to integrate battery systems with a solar electric array meant that unless there was a specific use case (remote location, critical 24/7 electric loads), we would often advise a customer against adding battery storage. Simply put, a grid-tied solar array (dependent on the grid with no on-site battery backup) was simpler, more reliable, and a better overall investment.
But, technology changes quickly! Elon Musk's 2015 announcement of the Tesla Powerwall – and more recently, the Powerwall 2 – has invigorated consumer demand in solar + storage products. Currently there is a technology 'arms' race going on, as many vendors compete to develop the energy storage solutions of the future.
In 2016, every solar electric system we are designing and installing is 'forward compatible' with storage, whether or not a battery pack is installed at the time of the solar installation. Not only can batteries keep the lights on when the sun or grid is down, but they can also support the utility grid by filling intermittent gaps in renewable energy production when clouds pass over or wind subsides.
This article features a general overview; for the full story, don't miss our three part feature published in 2015:
- Part 1 – Is Tesla's PowerWall the iPhone of Battery Storage?
- Part 2 – Solar + Batteries: The Right Thing to Power my Home?
- Part 3 – Solar + Batteries: Technologies on the Bleeding Edge
Batteries and Solar Energy Systems: A Short History
Before the popularization of the grid tied inverter in the late 1990s, ALL solar energy systems were independent of the grid (this is what it means to be 'off the grid' – literally not connected to the utility grid). In this era, if you wanted to have power after the sun set, you had to have a battery of some kind to store the energy, usually a big bank of 'golf cart type' lead acid batteries.
Fast forward twenty years and, at least in the US, the vast majority of solar energy systems no longer use batteries at all and instead take advantage of the utility grid and net metering to export excess electricity when the solar production exceeds the load, and to import electricity back from the grid when the loads exceed production.
Grid tied solar electric systems work great and are a real win-win for both society and the solar customer. The solar customer benefits by having the advantage of using the grid as storage, and the rest of the grid benefits because solar customers typically export excess electricity to the grid at periods of high wholesale prices and peak demand, and import power at periods of low wholesale prices and low grid demand. This is a market benefit above and beyond the obvious environmental benefits of solar (documented in studies such as Maine's own Value of Solar)
Grid-tied solar energy's rapid growth has been fueled by staggering drops in equipment cost, roughly 75% over the past 10 years. And though batteries have not experienced the same meteoric progress in performance and cost, many industry observers think it is only a matter of time. Investment in battery R&D is growing worldwide, thanks largely to surging popularity of hybrid and plug in electric vehicles, and the distributed solar industry is well poised to benefit from those investments and economies of scale created by that market.
How Batteries + Solar Work
Whether it's the Tesla PowerWall, cell phone, cordless drill power-pack or golf cart battery, the basic concept is the same: a charged battery stores electrical energy in chemical form for later use.
In most renewable energy applications, a special class of battery, deep cycle batteries, are required, as the constant discharge and re-charge of the battery requires more durable construction (in contrast to your car's battery, which is used for a short burst of energy before it is quickly re-charged by your alternator).
In addition to being able to survive the wear and tear of frequent use and deep cycles, a renewable energy battery will also have a number of other important performance characteristics that determines how well it works in a particular application. Among those are:
- Energy Capacity: Maximum electric usable energy (kWh) stored in a battery.
- Maximum Discharge and Charge rates: The peak Power (usually given as maximum current) the battery can either provide or accept without damage.
- Depth of Discharge: What % of the battery's capacity may be used before it needs to be recharged.
- Cycle Life: How many recharge cycles a battery can undergo before it reaches end of life.
- Calendar Life: How long, in time, a battery can be expected to last before it reaches end of life.
- Energy Density: How much energy is stored per unit of volume.
- Specific Energy: How much energy stored per unit of mass. Energy density and specific energy are related, but distinct. For example, a battery with the same energy capacity nay be large and heavy (low energy density and low specific energy), large and light (low energy density but high specific energy), small and heavy (high energy density and low specific energy), or small and light (high energy density and high specific energy).
- Temperature Limitations: The acceptable operating temperature range of a battery. Some battery chemistries may not operate below freezing temperatures, or at very high temperatures, for example. Others generate significant heat either while charging or discharging and thus may need an active thermal management system to keep them from overheating.
- Self Discharge Rates: The rate at which a battery loses charge while not producing energy.
There is no one single battery which optimizes all these characteristics, and in fact even within a particular battery chemistry (Lithium Ion or Lead Acid, for example), battery designers constantly have to make tradeoffs between different characteristics; for example sacrificing maximum discharge rate to increase overall capacity, or trading off cycle life against calendar life. Or trading any of the above against cost. Clearly there is no such thing as 'the best battery', there is only 'the best battery for a particular application.'
Can I Use a Solar Powered Battery Pack instead of a Generator?
The increased frequency of extreme weather events in New England (which scientists link to the effects of increasing carbon pollution in our atmosphere), together with our increasing reliance on electronics in the home has led many New England homeowners to install fossil fuel powered backup generators to provide assured power in the case of a grid outage.
Many homeowners also are concerned about the threats of cyber attacks or terrorism on grid infrastructure (e.g. 60 Minutes). Hundreds of thousands of generators are sold across the United States each year, the majority of them dirty, inefficient, gas-burning portable backup generators sold at big box stores.
For the homeowner seriously considering a propane or gas powered standby generator, the economics and power properties of a solar-powered storage solution can be quite attractive. While a generator can provide power for everything, for a limited period of time, a solar + battery solution can provide power for the essentials, for a near unlimited period of time.
While there are some limits to its power output capabilities, the battery pack is infinitely cleaner, can run indefinitely under proper design circumstances, has no recurring maintenance needs, and offers a range of capabilities (such as 'self-consumption' of solar power and grid support services) not offered by generators. As technological evolution and fierce competition pushes down the sticker price of battery backup units, we expect the next 3-5 years will show a seismic acceleration in the adoption of home-based battery systems.

So I'm not surprised, just a page into Federalist No. 1 -- written by Hamilton -- to discover that he was also possible America's Founding Negative Campaigner. Writing under the "Publius" name, he tells New Yorkers that backers of a new Constitution just want candy and kitties and charity for their fellow Americans. Opponents, he suggests, are merely motivated by selfish interests:
Among the most formidable of the obstacles which the new Constitution will have to encounter, may readily be distinguished the obvious interest of a certain class of men in every State to resist all changes which may hazard a diminuition of the power, emolument and consequence of the offices they now hold under the State-establishments -- and the perverted ambition of another class of men, who will either hope to aggrandise themselves with fairer prospects of elevation fromt he subdivision of the empire into several partial confederacies, than from its union under one government.Let's step back a second: The purpose of the new Constitution was to centralize authority in the United States under a federal government. It was, in some respects, a power grab -- and Hamilton, as one of the framers and campaigners for the new Constitution, might reasonably be expected to be one of the chief beneficiaries of that grab. But Hamilton starts his campaign by criticizing the Constitution's critics -- they're the power grabbers, petty men who'd rather rule over several small fiefdoms than one big empire. At a vantage point of 200 years, at least, it's kind of hard to take Hamilton seriously when his approach is so naked and, well, unsubtle.
But Hamilton is smart, though, because he acknowledges as much in the next paragraph:
Ambition, avarice, personal animosity, party opposition, and many other motives, not more laudable than these, are apt to operate as well upon those who support as upon those who oppose the right side of a question.This is the 18th century equivalent of sending Sarah Palin out to proclaim that "Barack Obama pals around with terrorists," only to back down a few days later with "He's an honorable man" utterances. The damage is done. We have, however, already learned a valuable lesson: Our Founding Fathers weren't demigods residing on Mount Olympus; they were politicians, with the willingness to roll up their sleeves and start hurling muck if needed. Folks fed up with the "tone" of our politics today should realize it was ever thus.
We're moving quickly, though, and Hamilton -- while he's probably not thinking about a 21st century audience for his words -- is quickly demonstrating not only that the tone of American politics has always been fractious, but the substance of the debates can be unchanging as well. At issue? The authority of a central government versus the rights and liberties of people under that government. Conservatives these days argue that more centralized government means less freedom for citizens, but Hamilton goes out of his way to pooh-pooh that idea.
An overscrupulous jealous of danger to the rights of the people, which is more commonly the fault of the head than of the heart, will be represented as mere pertence and artifice; the bait for popularity at the expense of the public good. It will be forgotten, on the one hand, that jealously is the usual concomitant of violent love--Get that? If you're too worried about the rights of the people, you're just like an abusive husband!
--and that the noble enthusiasm of liberty is too apt to be infected with a spirit of narrow and illiberal distrust. On the other hand, it will be equally forgotten that that the vigour of government is essential to the security of liberty; that, in the conteplation of a sound and well informed judgment, their interest can never be separated; and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people, than under the forbidding appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us, that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism, than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics the greatest number have begun their career, by paying an obsequious court to the people, commencing Demagogues and ending Tyrants.Get that? If you're too worried about the rights of the people, you're probably a tyrant in waiting! Real liberty is to be found under the protection of a "firm" government. Sorry, folks, but I'm not losing the "douchebag" vibe from Hamilton here.*
*Don't get me wrong: Revolutions in "the name of the people" have given us tyrannies in Russia, China and a whole bunch of other places. Seeing as how Hamilton had somewhat recently participated in a Revolution aimed at throwing off a tyranny in the name of the proposition that "all men are created equal" his assertion here seems ... convenient.
Hamilton is winding down at this point. But he's also getting started. Yes, he says, he favors the new Constitution -- and the aim of the coming series of articles is to convince New Yorkers to ratify it, as well. Otherwise, he says, the United States will disappear.
For nothing can be more evident, to those who are able to take an enlarged view of the subject, than the alternative of an adoption of the new Constitution, or a dismemberment of the Union. It will therefore be of use to begin by examining the advantages of that Union, the certain evils and the probable dangers, to which every State will be exposed from its dissolution. This shall accordingly constitute the subject of my next address.NEXT TIME: What's so great about the Union, anyway?

Memories; 6
What happened to the friendship we'll never really know,
What happened to the trust we can never really say,
But the past is past and gone now,
Its time to move on now.
Because a friendship gone will never pass,
It can always be rebuilt,
Memories fade and photos rip,
But are never in black and white.
So let's move on now,
Recolour them new,
And make it,
Don't break it.
We'll dance our dance and sing our song,
Let the chips fall where they may now,
Because the past is past and now is now,
And time will heal us all.

Last week, being February half-term, was one of the busiest of the season, and unfortunately conditions across France and most of the Alps were pretty poor. Most French resorts haven't had new snow since the start of the month, and warm temperatures have meant artificial snow machines have been able to operate only at night. Slopes have been icy in the morning, slushy by lunchtime. The good news is that all that could change tomorrow, when all the French resorts are forecasting snow. La Grave, Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d'Huez are expecting the most - 16cm
Massive early snowfalls are now but a memory. Warm weather has seen snow on lower slopes melt away - Mayrhofen has no snow on some lower slopes, Solden just 10cm. Some snow is now forecast, but only a couple of centimetres. Best conditions are in Obergurgl and the St Anton area.
Colder temperatures have preserved snow better than elsewhere. Between 4cm and 14cm is expected tomorrow.
A similar picture to France, with some snow due tomorrow. Zermatt predicts 14cm.
Norway and Sweden
Norway has great conditions - Oppdal had 30cm of new snow on Monday, Voss saw at least 10cm on Thursday. Are in Sweden is forecasting 32cm this weekend.
US and Canada
Good, cold, conditions across the US, with California forecasting 60cm this weekend. Western Canada has been sunny and warm, the opposite of the east, where temperatures have been as low as -14C and there have been modest snowfalls .

When you marry, you enter a relationship contract with your spouse that entitles you as a couple to certain legal rights and responsibilities. Family lawyers specializing in marriage can write prenuptial agreements for a couple before marriage. A prenuptial agreement can be especially important if you have financial interests you've accrued earlier in life and wish to clarify how they will or won't be shared with your new spouse. A written prenuptial agreement sets out the financial expectations of your marriage and anticipates what will happen to your assets should you divorce. The process for creating an airtight prenuptial agreement can be complicated, and a lawyer with a marriage and prenuptial practice can make sure the agreement is properly written.

Good morning and welcome to the daily blog from the Guardian's community for healthcare professionals, offering a roundup of the key news stories across the sector.
If there's a story, report or event you'd like to highlight – or you would like to share your thoughts on any of the healthcare issues in the news today – you can get in touch by leaving a comment below the line or tweeting us at @GdnHealthcare.
The Guardian today reports a warning by GP leaders of a "crisis of public confidence" in an NHS scheme set up to share details from people's medical records.
RCGP honorary secretary Professor Nigel Mathers said:
We urgently need a renewed national push by the authorities to ensure that patients are fully informed, in clear terms, about the benefits of the scheme, what their rights are, and what their rights to opt out are.
There's also news of Alder Hey children's hospital failing four in five standards checks.
Today's other healthcare headlines:
• Guardian: Symptoms of lung disease frequently overlooked, study finds
• BBC: South Wales health boards consider specialist care shake-up
• HSJ: £10m of Healthwatch cash 'goes missing'
• Telegraph: New breast cancer drug 'huge step forward'
• Independent: £1bn could be saved by NHS over next decade if doctors diagnosed chronic lung diseases earlier
• Nursing Times: Learning disability nurses threaten to strike
• Pulse: CQC inspections will lead to 'deluge' of premise claims, says NHS England director
Comment and analysisNHS workforce has changed since the coalition took power. Mathieson reports:
What has changed significantly is the mix of staff. The number of doctors employed by NHS trusts rose by 6.9% over the four years to last October, to 105,056. Within this group, the number of consultants rose nearly twice as fast, up 13.2% to 40,709. Numbers of qualified ambulance and technical staff rose slightly. Meanwhile, nursing numbers initially fell, leading to criticism from Labour leader Ed Miliband. But numbers have since recovered to 310,924, up 994 (0.3%) over the four years, with clinical support staff following a similar pattern.
But there have been big NHS job cuts in one area: infrastructure support staff, down 10.2% over the period. Within this group, the people suffering the biggest cuts have been non-senior managers, down 18.5% to 24,349, and senior managers, down 22.1% to 10,197. Many left as the result of the government's phasing out of primary care trusts and strategic health authorities, completed last April.
Writng for our sister Voluntary Sector Network, Ali Stunt, chief executive of the charity Pancreatic Cancer Action, explains why despite widespread criticism, its controversial ad campaign achieved its aim.
Elsewhere, BBC medical correspondent Fergus Walsh writes about the opposing views to proposals from health watchdog the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to dramatically increase the numbers offered statins; Andrew M Brown also writes in the Telegraph about statins and mass medication; and Andrew Jones in the Mental Elf blog writes about smoking cessation.
That's all for today, we'll be back tomorrow with our digest of the day's healthcare news.

BeschreibungJohn Locke (1632-1704) one of the greatest English philosophers of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century, argued in his masterpiece, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, that our knowledge is founded in experience and reaches us principally through our senses; but its message has been curiously misunderstood. In this book John Dunn shows how Locke arrived at his theory of knowledge, and how his exposition of the liberal values of toleration and responsible government formed the backbone of enlightened European thought of the eighteenth century.

That is kinda what I am wondering. Sport or Reversion....
Did your reversions have similar habits to what I described or did they
more closely match Cherry
Berry in it's form and habit?
Since the all green reversion is commonly refered to
as maraschino cherry. I am just wondering if this is
same or similar to maraschino cherry.

Hi Mike
I have maybe 20 Cherry Berry and I bet a fifth of them or better
to all green or revert, whichever is correct. I assume the former.

A New CBA Could Provide Instant Chaos
With recent news on the labor front looking increasingly positive for a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) sooner rather than later, plenty of murmurs have surfaced about possible personnel moves on the horizon once a new deal is in place. The Chargers just happen to be one of the teams in the discussion on a few different areas and these potential trades could help solidify a team still feeling a bit uncertain at some positions.
The big newsmaker during the past week had to be beat writer Kevin Acee's comments regarding the prospect of a Vincent Jackson trade before the season begins. Clearly this has been an ongoing saga for the Bolts with Jackson and General Manager A.J. Smith being at odds over the franchise tag designation which would likely pay V Jack between $10 million and $11 million in 2011.
A long-term deal is what Jackson is after and who can blame him in a 'what have you done for me lately?' league like the NFL, but the Bolts' front office has been adamant about the character concerns weighing down his value to the club. This past February GM Smith reiterated his value to the team saying: "Vincent has been a valuable contributor to our team. We want him to be a Charger." Yet still there is no budging on extending a long-term contract to the disgruntled wideout.
Some of that hesitation is certainly warranted given Jackson's DUI history and the potential for the league to boot him for an entire season with one more slip up. Also the Bolts have Malcom Floyd and will likely try to keep him in San Diego with a new deal when they can and he is a look-a-like receiver to V Jack with game breaking speed and a lanky 6'5" frame.
Still it isn't everyday that a team finds a talent like Jackson who is a legitimate vertical threat who can really elevate for jump balls and provide a tremendous red zone target. According to Acee's comments from SignonSanDiego.com however, this year could finally be the year that Jackson gets his wish as he said: "I will say this: They will be more willing to trade Vincent Jackson now than they were in 2010. I figure that will start a frenzy, but it shouldn't. I'm not saying they will trade him, but that it could happen for similar terms as they turned down last year. That said, they were smart to franchise Jackson because he's an amazing receiver who can help them win regardless of whether what you say were to pertain to him or not."
Considering those thoughts and what the Bolts were said to have been offered for Jackson a year ago, perhaps another second round pick could be acquired for the 2012 selection. That pick would be yet another for Smith and the team to hold onto and use when the time comes or perhaps do their damage immediately via another trade…
Yes, there has been yet another rumor floating around out there this past week and that involves Green Bay Packers' linebacker Nick Barnett and the possibility of him being either traded or released before the season begins. Barnett was placed on IR (injured reserve) last season with a wrist injury just four games into the year, but at 30 years of age, he could arguably be on the downside of his career at this point.
Even still, the Bolts have a gaping hole at inside linebacker with Kevin Burnett, Stephen Cooper, and Brandon Siler all free agents to be coming into this season. The team did take Jonas Mouton out of Michigan with one of their second round picks this past April and has said that it would like to keep Burnett when the time comes, but they will still be awfully thin inside.
Barnett is a Southern California native who could look to return home if given his choice of destinations and San Diego would be a nice fit schematically as well according to ESPN. Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. said: "He wouldn't be a bad fit at all. He's a very solid football player. He's experienced in the 3-4 on the outside. I still think he has plenty left in the tank. San Diego's inside linebacker situation is in such a state of flux, it is hard to predict who he would be playing next to on the inside, but I see him more as a weakside inside linebacker in that system."
The Chargers have had a relatively quiet offseason to this point (as have most teams), but things could heat up suddenly should an agreement be reached soon between the two sides in the labor debate. Don't look for the Bolts to be passive observers once the floodgates are opened because they still have plenty of holes to address prior to week one of the upcoming season.
Now it's your turn. Do you think the Bolts should still be shopping Vincent Jackson around? What kind of draft pick compensation would you consider adequate in a trade package? Could Malcom Floyd be just as effective as Jackson when playing the number one receiver spot? Do you think inside linebacker will be addressed before the start of training camp or will the team just try to re-sign its current free agents? Do you see Nick Barnett as a good fit with the team at inside backer? Please fill up the comments section below with your thoughts on these recent rumors!

- Length: 13.2 cm. | Item number: 1157076030
- Material: Cromargan® stainless steel 18/10 matt finish. Rust-free, dishwasher safe, dimensionally stable, sanitary, acid resistant and indestructible.
- Bellano collection
- As a German brand WMF is known for its versatile stylish range of products and reliability in quality and finish. For over 160 years WMF has been making cooking, dining and drinking a real experience whilst maintaining professional standards and progressing manufacturing technologies.
Product description
The coffee spoon, also known as a teaspoon, is suited to a coffee cup, and its small, convenient size fits in the cup as well as the saucer. It can be used to stir beverages in a cup or glass, and for eating desserts. It can also be used as a measuring unit: two teaspoons, level or heaped are an international indication of quantity.
The Bellano cutlery combines traditional Japanese style elements with a modern Italian design. This is hardly surprising given the fact that it is a brainchild of Makio Hasuike, the Japanese designer who established his design studio in Milan 40 years ago. Intended for everyday use, he designed a cutlery for WMF, which, thanks to its geometric play of forms, has nothing quotidian about it. The slenderness of the shaft provides a subtle contrast between the handle and front part of the cutlery and is accented by a decorative element. The asymmetric shape features a forged blade, which guarantees long-lasting sharpness. The 30 piece or 60 piece sets crafted in brushed Cromargan®, come with tablespoons, forks and knives as well as coffee spoons and cake forks, to serve six or twelve persons. All of the items are dishwasher safe.

Case Conclusion Date: 06.13.2013
Practice Area: Federal crime
Outcome: Not Guilty Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute Cocaine and Not Guilty Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute Marijuana
Description: DEA Case, a reverse buy, where a government paid informant testified as to the alleged 15 kilo cocaine deal claimed to have been brokered by Miller. Miller was on tape negotiating for marijuana with an undercover officer who was introduced to Miller by the paid informant, but in the first trial, the government elected to proceed solely with a cocaine conspiracy case against four men. The recent acquittal was a retrial of the 2012 mistrial (hung jury). In the second trial, the government retooled to add a marijuana conspiracy count and dropped the weakest case from the prosecution. Upon the retrial, Miller was exonerated of all charges by the jury, who chose to acquit both co-defendant's of all charges as well.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Contributing to the "Reader Reviews" section
Feb 14, 2008 at 1:02 pm #1227300
To all who post on BPL:
I believe the Reader Review section is one of the greatest assets this site has. A good number of people here are just as experienced, or more so, than any "Official Reviewer" of a magazine or website. I also know that a good portion of us are gear junkies and have experience with a good many products. Thus it is disappointing to me when I visit the Review section and see what I believe to be a very small fraction of the possible reviews that could be there.
For example, we all know that more than 4 people on this site have experience with the MB Down Inner Jacket. We know that more than 14 people have experience with Nunatak quilts. The MB UL90 Pad is being used by more than 3 people.
For the betterment of BPL and it's community, I think we owe it to ourselves and others to post informative, detailed, quality reviews of gear that we have had enough experience with to give a solid review. Karma will bless you when it is your turn to go searching for that product you are considering and there is a plethora of excellent reviews.
I plead with everyone here… please post reviews! And thank you for those who do post!

What? People are contributing. Perhaps you haven't read the very illumining review on the Titanium Goat trekking poles? :)
Methinks if BPL can just improve the way these reviews are indexed, many more people will be drawn to using them.Feb 14, 2008 at 1:14 pm #1420596
John S.BPL Member
I would like to see more order in the reviews. It'd be nice if BPL would post an outline of what to include so we could make it better.Feb 14, 2008 at 1:25 pm #1420599
Quality work Ben! I'm proud of you for doing your civic duty. I agree with you both. Some better organization would make it more appealing.
Let me tell you what I envision:
Instead of people (like me) posting to the G Spot and saying "Has anyone used…" or "Does anyone have experience with…", etc., people FIRST search the Reader Reviews. They A) get so much information that they no longer have a question, or B) get so much information but still want to ask further questions.
I see this improving the threads in the G Spot, both in the number of threads and the quality. It also saves me the trouble of saying "Didn't Ben post something once about product x? I wonder if I can find that in the giant pile of threads here on this site". Instead I say "Oh, he posted a review on it – I can look there. Rock on!"
Maybe I'm just being anal though.Feb 14, 2008 at 1:27 pm #1420600
"I think we owe it to ourselves and others to post informative, detailed, quality reviews"
I spend too much time already on these boards. I don't know where I would find time to do informative, detailed, quality reviews on every piece of gear I have ever used. Plus I think the G-Spot covers a lot of this ground, it just needs the search and tree-structure to be improved so we can find the info easily.
I do short, non-detailed reviews of gear I feel strongly about, either 5 star or 1 star. The stuff in between just doesn't motivate me to spend time reviewing it…Feb 14, 2008 at 1:38 pm #1420603

But its THAT stuff that helps new guys like myself! Don't forget about the little people!!!Feb 14, 2008 at 1:48 pm #1420606
It couldn't be any easier for beginners. Stay away from anything below a 5, and run like crazy from things that get lots of 1's ;)Feb 14, 2008 at 1:52 pm #1420608
I feel you Casey. Compared to most here, I'm still a newbie too. And a lot of the UL gear I now have was due to reading about it on the Review sections (and obviously asking people on the forums). When you are venturing into uncertain territory, and expensive territory, you like to know more than manufacturers specs. You want to hear from real people who use it. There have been a few things I found online for a real good price that I almost bought – but then decided to read the Review section – and thought… Good thing I didn't buy that!Feb 14, 2008 at 4:08 pm #1420620

@foodLocale: Colorado Rockies
I tend to use your system. There is no purpose in reviewing anything other than 1s & 5s.
However, the reviews need to have enough detail so that a person can determine whether the gear will fit their style. I offered to lend a Caldera Cone stove to a member of this forum that I consider a gear expert. He said "I don't like the Caldera Cone and you can't make me use it!"Feb 14, 2008 at 8:04 pm #1420654

You may already know this, but just in case you don't — you should take a look at BackpackGearTest.org. It doesn't have everything, but what reviews it has are very good quality. Three factors that come to mind:
1. Use of standard template to help ensure a comprehensive review.
2. Good indexing and organization.
3. Actively managed. All submissions are first reviewed for quality and then linked to ensure it is categorized correctly.
Until BPL performs a serious overhaul of its readers review section, I don't believe many will look to it as their first source of reference. In the meantime, maybe just keep pointing people to BackpackGearTest.org instead???Feb 15, 2008 at 9:01 am #1420704

I disagree to only go with items that get a 5.
Many items get a 4 because of some perceived problem that may not be relevant to you. Also, sometimes products are given a 4 because the reviewer was unable to fully test the product, and is reluctant to give a 5 (I've done this).
Some items get an isolated very low rating because they failed and the reviewer is not happy, but no one else had the problem (could be rare manufacturing defect, or the reviewer may not have known how to use the item).
Finally, some reviewers don't know what they are talking about, or have strong biases.
So in general I would stay away from items with an average rating less than 4 except in special situations (your usage is atypical and the problems encountered are not relevant to you, reviews biased, etc). Best to read the reviews and decide for yourself.Feb 15, 2008 at 9:36 am #1420711

I agree with Elliot. Many items not rated as 5's by the reviewer still meet different needs. Also, the comments in the reviews (at least when done in detail) provide guidance on features and limitations to look for (and avoid) when considering other similar products.
BackpackGearTest.org structured reviews force detail and is also a good resource.Feb 15, 2008 at 2:43 pm #1420767
Yeah, I agree that, in an ideal world, all reviews would be stuctured and tree-d like backpackgeartest,org. In the real world, there are a LOT of users of gear that can't/won't don't have time to do such a thorough review. BPL provides a quick and dirty, sometimes gut reaction or bad experience feedback to help folks out. Backpackgeartest also sponsors a lot of their reviews, and if I was given something for free to test, I would make the effort to be a lot more thorough. I also have noticed with backpackgeartest,org (OK, I KNOW I'm gonna get flack for this), that if a manufacturer provides the gear-testers with free merchandise to "test" that there are a lot more positive reviews of that piece of gear.
I have proposed in this thread a group aproach to gear testing that I feel would be a lot more meaningful and honest,
though I don't really have a clear idea yet of how it would be structured.

Their defense was dismal and the offense was characteristically inconstant. The biggest thing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had going for them Sunday was that they were playing the Kansas City Chiefs.
In the end, reality set in and the Bucs won. At 6-3, they've got the same win total as NFC South leader Carolina (6-2 and on bye this week). The win sure beats the alternative, but it continued to show the Bucs have flaws. When you're a good coach, like Jon Gruden is, you can find ways to win with flaws -- some of the time. But you can't go on forever and you won't get far playing the way the Bucs have the last two weeks.
They've got Joey Galloway back, but that hasn't helped the offense much. And there may be more trouble brewing. Did you notice at the end of the game that starting tailback Earnest Graham, who fumbled twice, wasn't the field? He was on the sideline and undrafted rookie Clifton Smith was in the game.
Gruden sometimes puts players into the doghouse and Graham could be there. Makes you nervous though because backup Warrick Dunn is hurt and this may force the Bucs to rush Cadillac Williams back from his recovery from knee surgery. Don't be surprised if Williams, who probably should sit out the rest of the season, is back on the field very soon. The Bucs have tried just about everything else on offense and it hasn't worked.

Morris, Herzog make Oscar documentary shortlist
By Gregg Kilday
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Errol Morris, an Academy Award winner in 2004 for his documentary "The Fog of War," is among the 15 filmmakers who have made next year's Oscar shortlist.
Morris' "Standard Operating Procedure," a study of torture in Abu Ghraib in Iraq, survived a preliminary round of voting by the Academy's documentary branch steering committee.
Along with such films as German director Werner Herzog's Antarctica-set "Encounters at the End of the World" and Stacy Peralta's gang study "Made in America," it is now eligible to compete for one of the five slots in the feature documentary category.
Nominations in all categories will be announced on January 22, with the awards taking place a month later in Hollywood.
Bill Maher's religious satire "Religulous," the top-grossing documentary of the year with domestic sales of $12.6 million, failed to make the list. But plenty of other hot-button topics were represented.
Following is a list of the other contenders:
- Joshua Tickell's "Fuel" looks at the energy crisis;
- Patrick Creadon's "I.O.U.S.A." takes on the credit crunch; Continued...

éirígí Newry meets with human rights group CAJ
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
éirígí representatives recently held a meeting in Newry with human rights group, the Committee on the Administration of Justice [CAJ].
CAJ is an internationally-recognized independent human rights organisation, which lobbies and campaigns on human rights issues. The organisation is currently monitoring stop and search incidents and are recording and logging the details.
The meeting was convened after members of the socialist republican party contacted CAJ with details of what they described as an 'unremitting campaign of state force harassment being waged against people in Newry'.
The CAJ representatives heard first-hand accounts of 'numerous incidents' that have allegedly taken place in the area. According to Eirigi, these incidents include countless stop and searches, assaults, house raids, arrests, intimidation, provocation, the targeting of children and people being targeted while at work.
Speaking after the meeting éirígí's Newry spokesperson Stephen Murney said, "This was a very worthwhile and positive meeting with a leading human rights organisation. CAJ have provided us with stop and search/police harassment monitoring forms, which they ask victims of PSNI harassment to fill in each time they are targeted."
"We are asking people when filling in these forms to note the legislation used, details of the incident including the location and time, and if possible to note the rank and numbers of the PSNI members involved."
He continued, "As well as launching éirígí's own "Know Your Rights" campaign in the area next Thursday [August 23] we will also be advising people to contact their legal representatives and CAJ to have the incidents logged and recorded."
"We are delighted with the proactive approach CAJ are taking and we in éirígí have pledged to work closely with them and we look forward to future meetings with the organisation."
The Newry launch of éirígí's "Know Your Rights" campaign will take place on Thursday 23rd August at 7.30pm in the Newry Arts Centre, Bank Parade, beside the Town Hall.

Hello kind people,
We run a 1999 318 tds compact. This morning when i fired it up nothing moved on the dashboard. I took it to the shops and back to see if it got over it, but it didn't. Basically, none of the dials move and no lights come on, but it runs and drives fine. Any suggestions? is it just a fuse somewhere?
Any help before i seek professional advice would be much appreciated!

Our official 'Hello'
OK - no more lurking...
My sailing experience is both limited, and varied - starting as a young child with my parents in New Jersey, then as an adventurous teenager exploring the back bays of Virginia, and finally as an adult in the murky Gulf waters of Texas - sailing has always been a big part of my life. I've been watching posts here since 2007 - when my wife and two daughters were originally planning to cruise off in our PSC31. Since then we had a couple more kids (boys this time), sold the boat due to size, time and (most of all) inancial restrictions, and seem to have been demoted to more of armchair sailors then anything else. Although our sailing dream has been postponed, I am building knowledge daily - constantly on the lookout for that 'diamond in the rough' that we can pick up cheap, restore, and use to sail from our shallow Texas waters out into the big open world!
As I investigate boats for sale, contemplate different ideas, or hear stories - I am constantly referencing the wonderful database of experience here at sailnet!
Re: Our official 'Hello'
Welcome. Good luck with your search. Sounds like you have a pair of hands for each dock line when you find your next boat. Good job!
Re: Our official 'Hello'
This is a great place to hangout and pick up some sailing knowledge.
Good luck and happy sailing

Tragic Disasters in the World of Sports
This is a follow up to '10 Terrible Disasters in Sports World'. This list is in (descending) order based on the years that the tragedies took place.
10 More Tragic Disasters in the World of Sports
It's been 10 years since NASCAR suffered its worst tragedy. On 24 October 2004, 10 people boarded the plane for a 35 minutes trip to attend a Nextel Cup (now Sprint Cup) race at Martinsville, Virginia. The passengers included several key Hendrick Motorsports staff, including team president John Hendrick and owner Ricky Hendrick. But they never made it to the match as their plane crashed into Bull Mountain, seven miles from their destination. Later investigation pointed out that wadding through the foggy weather the pilots failed to execute an instrument approach procedure and failed to use all navigational aids to confirm the airplane's position.
News about the crash reached halfway through the race. And although Hendrick Motorsports won the race (Jimmie Johnson was the racer) victory ceremonies were cancelled.
The local Soweto derby association football match between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates attracted hundreds of spectators at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Although the stadium was brimming with spectators an additional 30,000 fans were trying to get inside. And when the Orlando Pirates scored an equaliser and what followed shouldn't be surprising. All hell broke loosed as fans went insane and pushed inside to witness what was happening. They overspilled into press boxes, a stampede followed and 43 people were crushed death. Investigations later suggested that 120,000 fans were admitted into the stadium. And that the untrained security guards trying to bring the situation under control by firing tear gas may have caused some of the deaths or at least had made the situation worse. But of course the South African Police Department denies these claims.
The Zambian national football team were journeying to the FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Senegal in a Zambian Air Force de Havilland Canada DHC-5D Buffalo when it crashed nosed down right into the Atlantic Ocean. The plane was scheduled to make three refuelling stops and it was during the very first stop in Brazzaville that engine problems were noted. Then when they tried to take-off from their second stop, the engine caught fire and failed. The pilot suffering from fatigue switched off the wrong engine causing the entire plane to snoop down into the ocean.
30 people died including footballer, coaching staffs and crew members died. Members of the national team were buried outside the Independence Stadium in Lusaka what today is known as the 'Heroes' Acre'.

Lead YouMature
John drove through the streets of brotherly love. Kelly Rowland's I Remember played throughout his car.
"What did I just do?" He mumbled to himself.
He pulled up to the crowd of people surrounding his gym. He parallel parked across the street and quickly ran over. He enter the crowd to see his side glass window of the building shattered.
"Excuse me, excuse me." John slid through the sections of people.
John continued, "excuse me officer. I am the owner. Do you know what happen?"
"Hello sir, there was a drunk guy that somehow shatter this whole wall of glass. The traffic cam will tell us exactly what happen. I know you have a member of your gym that has a few cuts and bruises. I will inform you in the morning of all my findings."
John shook his hand with firmness. He entered his gym. The Dream's Skywalker played throughout the gym.
Tammy took the papers from the gym member, "I will process this incident report and the owner of the gym, Mr. Beamer will be in contact."
She asked, "he isn't here?"
John walked up, "excuse my tardiness. I am the owner. Are you hurt?"
She reached out, "my injuries aren't bad, but you need to get that window, bullet proof."
John agreed, "so is that what happened." He shook her hand.
"My name is Cameron. I've seen you a lot here but I wasn't aware that you were the CEO."
John smiled and formally introduced himself.
"I'm going to process this incident report and I'll be in contact with you."
He turned to Tammy, "I know the gym is almost closed for the night but can you help me check on every member in here."
John turned back to Cameron, "I am glad you are okay, if you need anything, I'll be in my office for the rest of the night."
Cameron smiled as John and Tammy walked away.
A few minutes later, John walked into his office and sat behind his desk. Gentle on my mind by Glen Campbell played.
He put his head down, "what did I do?!"
He replayed the conversation in his head, over and over. He kept his tears from forming.
Tammy knocked, "Mr Beamer?"
John disshuffled, "yes, can I help you?"
"Is everything okay?"
"I accidentally broke up...with...her. I d-d-don't know what I was thi-i-inking."
Tammy looked upset but didn't how to address it. "Mr. Beamer, I don't know what to say, but if you need anything, I am present."
"Thank you." John uttered as he put his head down. Tammy closed his door and left.
A few minutes later, Cameron knocked on his door.
"Come in Tammy."
"Oh, its Cameron."
John wiped his tears.
"Its just a few cuts, you don't to have to be emotional about it..." She joked.
John turned his chair so that his back faced her. "Can I help you?"
Cameron walked over to him and sat on his desk, "what's wrong? You are too cute and sexy to be this upset over little ole me!"
"My girl and I are not together anymore."
Cameron stood by him, and she rubbed his back.
Cameron grabbed his chin, "you are a beautiful and strong man. She is stupid to put you in a predictament, to lose you."
John disdained, "we kept drifting. After we stopped having sex, it just went downhill. I just want love and connection."
"Can I take your mind off of this?"
Cameron, a beautiful black woman with blonde hair straddled him. He was confused but didn't know how to handle this.
Cameron placed his hands on her thighs and she leaned down to kiss him. Their heads moved in the same motion as Cameron lead the kiss.
