May 10, 2014 at 8:01 pm #1316689
Hello there BPL!
My wife and I are hopefully hiking the PCT NOBO next year, if not most definitely 2016… plenty of time to prepare. However we are looking for a new shelter since we have sold our previous shelter, so this will be our shelter for now, (short backpacking trips) up until and on the PCT. I have noticed zpacks hexamids are popular for long distance hikes, and we are thinking of getting the duplex.
Now, we both agree to share very little in case we get split up for any length of time; we will be almost, if not entirely self sufficient. In the case of shelter we obviously would like to sleep together in the duplex. We are pretty determined to stay together but we both know there is a chance we will need or want to be apart for some reason, and will need to be able to do so without compromise. With that said my thought is my wife will carry the two person shelter, most likely a cuben tent or tarp of some kind (duplex). And I will carry a solo shelter, probably a silnylon tarp or tarptent since the cost of two cuben shelters is out of our budget.
Does this sound like a good strategy or am I missing something? Any couples out there want to share there shelter strategy for the PCT? FYI we are also thinking of carrying poncho tarps/bivies for the desert section to save weight.
If we do decide to go with a duplex, will it be durable enough to last through a year or two of weekend to week long trips, and then the PCT thru? Or should we plan on getting the duplex right before the PCT and get a cheaper alternative until then? Also would it be wise to upgrade to the .74 cuben?
Thanks in advance!May 10, 2014 at 11:01 pm #2101263

Hi Benji,
My wife and I are in the same boat as you and your wife. We are also planning to hike the PCT in 2015.
I think you are right to consider the possibility that you both might not be able to hike together the whole way. Injuries can easily cause this to happen, let alone all the other potential reasons…
I think you first need to take a step back and ask yourself if there is any possibility that you would both be hiking the trail simultaneously, but not together. This situation, in terms of gear considerations, is a little different than one person hiking while the other recovers from an ailment in town.
I know that my wife and I have no interest in hiking apart, so if we're both on the trail, then we are going to be together. This means that we will only ever need shared gear that we can also use solo, if need be. No duplicates are necessary for us.
If you plan to hike apart, then you would both obviously need shelters. You'll have to figure this out beforehand to plan accordingly.
If I was hiking any significant portion of the PCT alone, then I would strongly consider carrying a Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape poncho/shelter. I'd probably bring the Serenity Net Tent as well to clip in under the Gatewood Cape.
If you and your wife will always be hiking together (while you are both hiking), then I think the ZPacks Duplex makes a lot of sense. It's basically the lightest fully enclosed two-person shelter out there and is certainly light enough that carrying it solo is not a huge deal (and it would be a palace for one!).
I have never used any of the ZPacks shelters, so I can't comment on the durability of 0.51oz cuben vs 0.74oz cuben.
My wife and I unfortunately don't have the money for a $600 shelter right now [sigh], so we will be using our beloved, but much heavier, TarpTent Double Rainbow.
On a more personal note, I think you should ask yourself: do I really want to hike apart from my wife? Your marriage will be lasting much longer (hopefully) than your thru hike. Which do you want to prioritize?
Just carefully consider the ramifications on your relationship of not sharing the same PCT experience together. These hikes are usually life changing events, and I for one would like the changes to happen to both my wife and I together so that we can share that experience as partners and let it serve as a bond, not a wedge.
Not everyone will agree with this mentality, and that's totally ok, but it's certainly something to think about…
In my mind, one spouse hiking on while the other recovers in town from an ailment is one thing, but willfully hiking apart while you both could otherwise hike together is another thing entirely.
I say this all without any judgement though. Every relationship is a little different, and what works for some might not work for others.
Just be sure to tread lightly my friend, and good luck. Maybe my wife and I will see you guys out there! :)May 11, 2014 at 10:22 am #2101354
When I hiked the PCT, usually the married couples shared a shelter. Many often hiked at their own pace during the day to give themselves some space from each other (5 months of 24/7 can be trying on even the best of friends) but always met up at every break, lunch, and camp. Every time they parted, they planned when and about where their next break was and the faster hiker would always wait for them there. Sometimes they would ask other hikers passing if they had spotted their significant other just to check on them if they were having any problems. If they didn't appear after a certain time, they would go back looking for them. There was only 1 couple I remember that actually made the effort to hike together all the time.
And yes, I met married couples that split during their hike. One was unable to continue due to some physical issues. Their other partner sometimes choose to continue with the others blessing and it seemed to work out for them. Sometimes the one getting off, inorder to stay involve in the hike, got their Car and came back and followed them up the trail at every road crossing in their car providing support and spending time with them in town and at campgrounds near road crossings. If physically able, the would sometimes accompany their spouse for a short way as a day hiker before parting a few miles up the trail to return to their car. They were nice enough to provide the rest of us hikers with trail magic. They were happy to still be part of the trail community by doing so even if they were disappointed that they couldn't be hiking themselves anymore.
As the weather is generally sunny, most of the time, you can get away cowboy camping so most of the time you don't need to be concerned with having a second shelter. If rain is likely, you could just make an extra effort to stick together. I used my tarp 9 times on the PCT and cowboyed camp the rest of the trail without setting up my shelter.
If you feel safer having an extra shelter, then just a small tarp like structure should be fine. Perhaps a poncho tarp combo like Six Moons Gatewood Cape where it doubles as rain gear so you don't mind the weight as much.May 11, 2014 at 12:24 pm #2101373
I think we are planning a similar hike to yours. We want to be able to share gear like shelter and cookset. We also want to stay together as long as we are both on the trail. It is the unplanned injuries and such that I am worried about. We do want to experience the whole thing together, and not hike apart from each other other than when I want to speed up and wait for her at lunch time. So I guess it would make sense to only carry one shelter, one cookset and plan to stick together. And if one needs to rest in town or something a second shelter is not needed. Thanks for the insight.
This makes me feel much better about bringing only one shelter! I keep reading that the first rule to a thru hike with a partner is to not share gear. This is what made me think about carrying two shelters as a contingency plan. And that makes total sense about the rain and cowboy camping, we will be bringing bivies to do so as much as possible. And you're right, if it looks like rain stick together.
Thanks guys!May 11, 2014 at 12:35 pm #2101374

A couple of years ago, I was heading southbound along the JMT. Just a few seconds before I reached a good campsite, a northbound guy claimed that spot. He commented that his hiking partner was hiking a little slower, so he was just racing ahead to grab a good campsite, start a fire, and erect the tent. She showed up an hour later.
As long as you have an agreement about the approximate location of a campsite, then this works. If the faster hiker intends to go until 7 p.m., and the slower hiker intends to stop by 5 p.m., then this is a big problem.

If you are worried about having a protective shelter in the case of being split up, you can each carry one. You'll probably never use it. You can still sleep side by side every night. You'll might want a lightweight non-waterproof two person bivy for wind protection.May 11, 2014 at 1:54 pm #2101386
"I keep reading that the first rule to a thru hike with a partner is to not share gear."
I would agree with this for non-married couples and friends hiking together. Too many friendships and even unmarried couples end up separating on the trail due to too much togetherness (that whole 24/7 for months at a time). Small things get magnified and cause friction. Thru-hikers tend to have more extreme emotional swings on the trail then you see at home. In the case of friends, they sometimes separate as they want to be able to remain friends. So not having to split up gear later and having to buy gear on the trail and having gear sized for 2 people when you are now only 1 makes sense. In fact I remember in Squatch's first Walk Documentary there was an unmarried couple had been together for a couple of years and started the hike with high hopes of what they would do after the hike. At the end of the video, we find out that they ended up seperating at some point on the hike and the girl finished with another guy whom she eventually married in a follow up video documenting a different year on the PCT.
However, for married people, its a different level and type of commitment and issues. If you split up for anything other then injury, you are likely both getting off anyway as you clearly have more important issues to deal with. I can't think of a situation where a married couple would both continue hiking separately from each other.May 11, 2014 at 3:46 pm #2101419

It isn't just the shelter you need to consider.
Each of you has to eat, so there's the whole kitchen thing – stove, fuel, windscreen, pot, etc.
Are you really going to carry two shelters and two kitchens (and two bear cans, whatevers)?
The food is easy enough to divide, even if each day's packet has meals for 2 people; you carry X days' worth of doubles; she carries Y days' worth. If you get separated, at least you each have food.
Personally, my wife and I don't like or want to be very far apart from each other on the trail. We hike as couple's therapy and to spend quality time together. While I might ocassionally hike on ahead of her and wait at a pre-agreed-upon spot or at every trail junction (I misplaced her once that way; never again), we always start off each day together, eat each meal together, and camp together in the same shelter at night. Sleeping together is one of the great perks of marriage, and she protects me from the wild things in the dark woods. Yea, tho she walks thru the valley of the shadow of death,…..etc. If one of us must leave the trail for whatever reason, we BOTH leave.
Besides, my wife enjoys the lighter load while her human pack mule plods along with "the heavy stuff". Why have a husband if you aren't going to exploit him?
YMMVMay 11, 2014 at 3:54 pm #2101424
My wife and I did the CDT together last year, and we shared 1 shelter between us (an SMD Haven with the inner net). I carried the tarp, my wife the inner. That worked perfectly for us, and I would do the same again on another thru of any trail.
Because of the navigation issues on the CDT and the fact that we only had 1 set of maps, we hiked together at all times, so there was never any chance that we would have to camp alone. As long as you have compatible hiking styles/speeds and you enjoy spending time together, I don't see why this should be a problem. My wife and I had previously done many shorter trips plus a 3-week section hike, so we knew that we'd be fine together.
If you're worried that one of you might get off the trail and the other go on alone, I think you have 2 options: 1) plan for the remaining hiker to just go on with the pot/shelter/other shared equipment. Or 2) give your solo tarp or whatever alternative you have to the person mailing your boxes and swap out your gear. I do recommend that you talk in advance about your contingency plans if someone has to quit or take extended time off. I've known more than one couple where one of them had to miss time or quit the trail.
Good luck with it–the PCT is the best.May 11, 2014 at 5:45 pm #2101455
Thanks everyone for the advice, good to hear from those who hike with there significant other. We do have similar hiking styles and goals, and do want to share the experience together regardless of what happens. We will be discussing and making agreements on all of the "what ifs" over the next year. So it makes sense to share more gear then I had imagined, it also makes preparing for it a whole lot easier.
Any recommendations for a kitchen set? Right now we use a 1.3 liter pot and a pocket rocket. We also bring a mug for tea/coffee, but had plans to each carry a mug that doubles as a pot, like a 900ml pot and boil twice. This seems like it would be less fuel and time efficient though, and considering going without hot drinks (yikes, no coffee?) I might try to find a lighter canister stove as well, not sure. Either way I don't think a 1.3 will be enough for us when we have hiker hunger, it's barely enough for our weekend trips.
Will one bear can be enough for two people? I was imagining needing to each carry one for the amount of food needed?
Well I guess I have more research to do!May 11, 2014 at 6:14 pm #2101465

Seems like lots of good advice on here.
If I was hiking the trail with a good friend, even a best friend, I would definitely plan to be able to split up at any point, so considerations for separate gear would be made.
If I was hiking with a significant other (but was unmarried)… well, I'd honestly hesitate to do that in the first place! That's a tricky situation…
I agree with many of you posters above who identified the married couples as kind of being in a unique situation. It is a different level of commitment in terms of trail partnership than any other backpacking relationship, save for maybe parents and children.
The advice to talk about contingency plans before the hike even starts is probably very wise. My wife and I have different contingency plans for mild injuries, severe injuries, family emergencies, etc… and these plans are also affected by what stage of the trail we are hiking and if we are part of a larger hiking group at the time or not.
For example, if I got hurt with a non-season ending injury, but my wife and I were hiking with other thru hikers that we had become good friends with, then my wife would be much more comfortable forging on ahead with them as I recovered in town than if she had to do it solo; whereas I would be fine going solo for a few weeks if she got hurt and had to recover.
There is a lot to think about, but it's surely worth doing beforehand so everyone is on the same page and can prepare accordingly.
Benji, like you, I am still debating about what cooking system to bring on the trail for my wife and I. I suspect that the easier it is, the better, since we will probably not want to expend a lot of effort cooking after weeks and weeks of 20+ mile days. I'm currently looking into doing a combination of no-cook and boil only meals.
One thing we really want to avoid is having to "do the dishes" every night (i.e. cleaning a pot). This seems like it would be really hard in SoCal when we will be dry camping so much, so the less water and fuss needed, the better, in all likelihood.May 11, 2014 at 6:56 pm #2101482
On long hikes, we use a 1.3 L pot and a SuperCat stove. Because my wife is a lot smaller than me and we wanted to make sure that I didn't hog all the food and that we each ate enough, we cooked twice each night and ate separately, one after the other. Sometimes we had an extra plastic container so that the first person could be eating while the other person immediately started cooking. Other times the first person would finish eating before passing the pot off to the other.
This worked well enough for us. We didn't need a second pot or a canister stove (I hate canister stoves). Some nights it was annoying to have to wait to cook, but usually we made good use of the time. The person cooking second set up the tent while the other ate. If there was extra time before the pot was free, we would journal or eat dessert first.
For the most part we each carried our own breakfasts and snacks and dinners. Carrying our own food made it more likely that we'd each eat enough without me stealing all of her food.
As for cleaning pots, it takes me about 3 tablespoons of water to clean the messiest poss (the secret: use your fingers to swirl the water around), and I drink the water anyway, so no waste.
Unless you're doing 25 miles every day or only eating 2000 calories a day, no way will all of your food fit in one bear canister. I completely filled a Bearikade Expedition (which is even bigger than the BearVaults most folks used) for the section from KM to Kearsarge Pass. All of my friends had totally full bear canisters too–most had overflow.May 11, 2014 at 7:30 pm #2101497
"One thing we really want to avoid is having to "do the dishes" every night (i.e. cleaning a pot)."
My gear systems and the way I do things is built around the fact that I like hiking but hate camp chores like setting up a shelter (so I cowboy camp unless its raining) or cleaning a pot (so I use freezer bag cooking or go cookless to avoid the hassle of cooking in the first place).
Google "Freezer Bag Cooking". It isn't necessary to clean the pot using this method. It even allows you to use a smaller pot since you are only boiling water in the pot and not adding food. For the PCT, I was able to use a 550ml pot since it was just for boiling water and no cooking was done in it (double the size for water for two people at once). The "cooking" or rather the re-hydration is done in a freezer bag that already contained the food before the hot water was added and allowed to sit with some sort of insulation wrapped around it (ie. a cozy) to trap the heat while it does its magic. You eat out of the bag when its finished (I use a spoon instead of a spork to avoid puncturing a hole in the bag).
Its the same thing as those Mountain House Dinners you buy at a backpacker outfitter where you pour hot water into the provided bag. It works for most popular thru-hiking foods that you can buy at small grocery stores (ie. instant mash potatoes, Korr brand sides, couscous, hamburger helper, etc.) since they only require rehydrating. You can also pre-make some nice meals at home to mail to yourself that are friendly to this method.May 12, 2014 at 7:58 pm #2101838
Thanks again for the advice. I agree, going over our contingency plans is on the top of the list.
Like you we are planning on boil only meals in combination with no cook. We are hoping for dinner to be hot most times, and are ok with lunch and bfast being cold/no cook. maybe the occasional hot oatmeal. Were are also looking into going stoveless for the desert, but need to try it out first.
We already eat and cook in a similar fashion, except we cook one meal and pass the pot back and forth. This is for short backpacking trips though, so I like your method of cooking and eating separately to ensure there's no food hogging. Is the 1.3 a good size for one person meals? Could you go smaller?
I too hate canister stoves, and would love to use an alcohol stove. But I understand there is a fire risk with them, and banned on certain parts of the trail. Where on the PCT are alcohol stoves allowed?
I also use my finger and a little water to wash the pot, pretty quick and easy. Drink the grey water. And hey you're going drink water anyways, right? Might as well make it tastier with left over dinner. :)
I am well aware of the freezer bag method, but neither of us like eating out of those mountain house bags. We make 90% of our backpacking meals with a dehydrator so that makes it easy for us to make meals. Eating out of the bag is something we are not fond of, neither is eating hot food out of plastic. We both agreed to try the FBC method again to see if we can do it on the PCT, but we will most likely be bringing a pot.May 12, 2014 at 8:03 pm #2101840

This past winter was exceptionally dry in California, hence the bans on fires and alcohol stoves. No telling what will happen next year, but since we're heading into an El Nino, odds are that it will be wetter than this year. Personally, if I couldn't take my alky stove, I would just go stoveless.
As for pot size, you might be able to go smaller–some people do. I like having some extra room in there so I don't have to worry about things boiling over or spilling. Also, wider pots are generally more efficient than narrower ones, so (and I have no proof of this) a nice wide 1.3 L pot might boil faster than a .9 L pot with the same amount of water.

- Awakening begins affirming the opportunities we are presented with to raise our consciousness. Indeed these are arriving more and more consistently. These are not coming to us; they are being birthed and arriving from within each of us. The more that we consciously choose to open more to the presence of Spirit within us we are becoming more and more the Divine Authentic Being that has always been there inside of you. The choices we make reflect that especially when those in alignment with Spirit and that has never truly been separate from Who You Are. Each of us has worth, has value, has meaning. Many of us have had our wanderings, our quests, our yearnings yet even when we find ourselves in the depth of our personal desert remember that those such places are not as devoid of integrity, of life, of love as we many think or perceive. They play that part of assisting us in rediscovering and redefining our Focus, our Spirit, our Passion and our Love which is the root where all does flow from.As you let go of self judgments and criticisms you are creating a new/renewed Sacred Space inside. One that is a catalyst for great change, for bringing into balance and harmony that which has been felt or known as an imbalance. You are taking what has been seen and/or taught as opposites and bringing those together. Honoring all and reigniting that the transformation of Self. As each of these are released and enter into transformation the world around you benefits from this. You are entering into the place as a Conscious, Loving Creator who is learning how to love the inner world, to love you, passionately, unconditionally and freely. In so doing that translates outward into the world. You are sharing the gifts that are within you to the world. Service to our Beloved Earth does not mean that you are less important. It accentuates that as the Earth will teach us every part that is Her Body has meaning, that She moves within and brings peace, enlightenment, and joy through Her Presence, Her Love which fans that very flame within us to rise higher, to expand and shine brighter and brighter.Look within your inner mirror and ask yourself if you are living a life full of passion and love. If you feel that is lacking be patient to discover why you feel this to be the case and begin the process of falling in love with yourself once more. In doing so you will discover that Divine Presence of Love has never left. Love has been patiently waiting and giving you the signs, the messages, the dreams and allow that Love and Passion to enfold those arms. Follow your heart's desires for when that, emanating from that place of acceptance and serenity will impact and transform the world because it is already taking root there inside of.You are building the foundation that enables you to expand your vision, enhance your abilities and see in ways that stimulate the mind. The mind and heart which harmonize together compliment one another beautifully and divinely. There is no separation between intellect and intuition for both are encompass complimentary qualities. When the mind is called for to work upon your Sacred Equations your intuition is a companion that works together with the intellect. There is the perspective that the two are 'different' yet that is just as described. A perception. That becomes redefined and evolves as you do. You can and do become a Responsible Creator as you set the boundaries to enhance your focus, build on your strength, your character, your passion, your heart. Boundaries that are not limitations but fulcrums that accentuate your life and assist you in expanding, evolving, and ascending.Be the Builder, the Lover, the Creator that You Are. Full of the Joy, Passion and Love of Life and that is Divine in every way.
Getting consciousWith this card, we awaken to a higher level of consciousness, both on a personal level and on a planetary one. We are called to open our hearts to Spirit, to live in a more meaningful way, and to participate in the life of our communities. We "think globally and act locally" and are aware of the dakinis, angels and bodhisattvas that aid us behind the scenes as we work to heal the planet.In this image, a young man opens up to the life of the Spirit. He has emerged from the darkness of the tomb/womb of Newgrange and is now fol- lowing the spiral path of the devotee. The compassionate gaze of Kwan Yin, Goddess of Mercy, smiles down upon him. Cranes of peace fly overhead.His community encircles him, between the earth and the heavens, creating sacred space where all things are possible. Magic happens, the earth is healed, and so are we.
Follow your passionThe Lovers celebrate the sacred feast of Beltane (May Day) in their green- wood bower, attended by the swan of Aphrodite and her twin doves. He is re- splendent as the sun and she, green as the growing earth. He is crowned with leaves, she with May-flowers — hawthorn blossoms, which remind us to "follow our bliss." Between them they hold the blood- red wild rose of summer, symbol of the sweetness and the sting of passion. A bumblebee hovers near the rose, waiting the chance to drink deeply of its nectar. For a moment, they have turned away from being caught up in each other's gaze to look outward together in the same direction.

Association of Mediterranean diet, dietary supplements and alcohol consumption with breast density among women in South Germany: a cross-sectional study
Health behavior, health promotion and society
Effects of dietary factors, such as adherence to Mediterranean diet, multivitamin-multimineral supplements use and alcohol consumption on mammographic breast density, an important biomarker of breast cancer risk, are not sufficiently consistent to elaborate preventive recommendations. This study aims to investigate the association between current diet and mammographic density.
We performed a cross-sectional study in 424 pre- and post-menopausal women aged 21 to 84 years. Current Mediterranean dietary pattern, multivitamin-multimineral supplements use, alcohol consumption and potential confounders were assessed with a self-administered questionnaire in the University Hospital Ulm (2007–2008). Radiologists evaluated mammographic density according to the American College of Radiology (ACR) classification, which was summarized in low = ACR1/2 and high = ACR3/4 mammographic density. Logistic regression models were used to assess the association between current diet and mammographic density.
Adherance to Mediterranean dietary pattern was inversely associated with mammographic density in the models adjusted for age and BMI (per 1 unit increase of score OR 0.95; 95%CI 0.90–0.997). Current use of multivitamin-multimineral supplements was also inversely associated with mammographic density (OR 0.53; 95%CI 0.34–0.83). Further adjustment revealed similar point estimates but the associations were no longer statistically significant. Compared to non-drinkers, excessive alcohol consumption (<10 g/d) was positively associated with mammographic density (OR 1.47; 95%CI 0.82-2.63).
Our results show that dietary factors are associated with mammographic density. Adherence to Mediterranean diet and current use of multivitamin-multimineral supplements could be inversely associated with mammographic density and may suggest a protective effect against breast cancer, whereas high alcohol consumption was associated with increased mammographic density.
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor, originating from the breast's glandular tissue. It is one of the most frequent malignant tumors in most Western countries
Mammography is a radiological method for the measurement of breast density
Breast density may be a possible surrogate marker in the prevention of breast cancer
This study aims to investigate the association between Mediterranean dietary pattern, current intake of multivitamin-multimineral supplements, and alcohol consumption with mammographic density.
Study population
Between April 2007 and September 2008 494 women aged 21 to 84 years, who underwent mammography at the breast center in University Hospital Ulm, were recruited in this cross-sectional study. After informed consent they completed a self-administered questionnaire. From the statistical analysis 65 participants were excluded due to history of breast ablation and breast cancer and 5 participants filled in the questionnaire twice. Thus 424 women remained for the analysis.
A study protocol was approved by the ethics committee of the medical faculty of Ulm University.
Data assessment
The questionnaire assessed socio-demographic characteristics, including date of birth, nationality, body weight, height and education. Furthermore, participants were asked to comment on their consumption of food, beverages, physical activity and their smoking status. The food questionnaire of this study was partially adapted from the food questionnaire of the Million Women Study
In this study, we collected information of the supplementary intake of vitamins and minerals both individually and combined. Due to the small numbers on single vitamin and mineral use, we investigated the association between intake of multivitamin-multimineral supplements and mammographic density. The corresponding question in our questionnaire was: "Do you take vitamins, minerals or dietary supplements regularly?"
Data on the consumption of wine, beer and spirits beverages in glasses per week has been collected to assess a drinking of alcoholic beverages. We calculated how much alcohol in g (gram) each woman consumed according to conversions described in other German studies
wine: 1 glass = 0.25 liter
beer: 1 glass = 0.3 liter.
spirits beverage: 1 glass = 0.02 liter.
1 liter wine = 100 g alcohol, and
1 liter beer = 40 g alcohol
There were 25 g alcohol in 1 glass wine; 12 g alcohol in 1 glass bier and 6.2 g alcohol in 1 glass spirits beverage
We selected the dietary components contributing to a score based on other studies of adherence to Mediterranean diet. Based on other studies on the adherence to Mediterranean dietary pattern
As potential confounders were considered: physical activity at recruitment (yes/no), Body-Mass-Index (BMI) at recruitment (kg/m2), ever use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) (yes/no), menopausal status at recruitment (proxy variable with premenopausal (<50) and postmenopausal (≥50) women), age at recruitment (years), mother with history of breast cancer (yes/no), school education (9 years of school/13 years of school), ever use of oral contraceptives (yes/no), age at menarche (years), smoker at recruitment (yes/no), ever breast feeding (yes/no), number of live births (quantitative variable; 0,1,2,3,4 or 5 live births), age at the first birth (quantitative variable; years), alcohol consumption at recruitment (yes/no) if not exposure variable.
Mammographic density assessment
Breast density was assessed by two radiologists of the University Hospital Ulm applying the classification of the American College of Radiology (ACR) including four categories: ACR 1 = almost entirely fat, glandular tissue <25%; ACR 2 = scattered fibroglandular densities (ca. 25–50% of the breast); ACR 3 = heterogeneously breast dense (ca. 51–75% of the breast); ACR 4 = extremely dense (>75% of the breast)
Statistical analysis
The study sample is characterized in Table
There were 35% of the women who consumed multivitamin–multimineral supplements. Alcohol consumption was reported by 67% and smoking by 12%. Most women consumed wine (61%). High scores of Mediterranean diet score (more than 24 points) indicating adherence to Mediterranean diet was observed in 25% of the women. Overall, 56% of the women had high mammographic density (ACR3/4). Among premenopausal women mammographic dense breast parenchyma was more prevalent (73%) than among postmenopausal women (46%).
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was inversely associated with mammographic density adjusted for age and BMI (per 1 unit increase: OR 0.95; 95%CI 0.90-0.997) (OR 0.97; 95%CI 0.91–1.02) (Table
The results of the multivariate analyses for multivitamin-multimineral supplements are displayed in Table
The results between alcohol consumption and mammographic density are displayed in Table
Adherence to Mediterranean diet was inversely associated with mammographic density. Our data show further that the consumption of multivitamin-multimineral supplements is associated with a reduction in mammographic density. High levels of alcohol consumption may be related to higher mammographic density.
Mediterranean diet
In line with former research on diet and mammographic density, we found an inverse association between the adherence to Mediterranean diet score and mammographic density
Previous analyses of single food groups and mammographic density showed that components of the Mediterranean diet such as vegetables and olive oil could be inversely associated
In contrast to Tseng et al. (2008) we observed a statistically significant inverse association of Mediterranean diet score with mammographic density among non-smoking women.
Multivitamin-multimineral supplements
Our findings of an inverse association between the current use of multivitamin-multimineral supplements and mammographic density in postmenopausal women are in contrast to results from a case–control study showing that multivitamin-multimineral supplement use is associated with higher breast density among premenopausal women
Epidemiological studies on diet have shown inverse associations between vitamin D intake and mammographic density
Women who take multivitamin-multimineral supplement may have a healthier lifestyle than others. However, differences in the composition of the multivitamin-multimineral supplement pills and the inclusion of potential confounders could have influenced the associations. Data on use of vitamin and mineral supplements and its combination are scarce
Alcohol consumption
In our study, current alcohol intake of more than 10g/d was associated with high mammographic density in pre- and postmenopausal women. Results from prospective
There is evidence linking alcohol by Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3 to mammographic density
Strengths and limitations
One potential limitation of this study is that measurement error is inherent in dietary assessment. However, our data for alcohol were consistent with other data from Germany
In the Mediterranean diet score in cases with no information on food items (e.g. for fish), 0 points were given. However, exclusion of individuals without information revealed similar results in the fully adjusted model without elimination of these women.
Since a cross-sectional study was performed, we cannot appraise the time sequence of the associations. The data on exposure variables were collected retrospectively, which may have introduced recall bias. However, it is likely to be non differential.
The assessment of the mammograms by experienced radiologists is one of the strengths of our study. In addition, we calculated the fully adjusted and the parsimonious models which revealed similar results but only statistical significance was reached in the parsimonious models.
The inter-rater reliability for the analyzed categories of ACR classification as indicator for mammographic density was good. ACR classification of mammographic density is widely applied and it has been shown that it is correlated with more refined measurement methods
In summary, this study suggests that adherence to the Mediterranean diet and current use of multivitamin-multimineral supplements are associated with mammograhically less dense breast parenchyma as intermediary marker of breast cancer risk. Further studies are needed to investigate the value of dietary intervention in the prevention of breast cancer.

Report: Microsoft Gave Nokia a $250M USD Windows Phone Payday in Q4

(Source: WinExtra)
Deal shows some signs of progress
Nokia Oyj. (
) and Microsoft Corp. (
) shocked the mobile phone world in Feb. 2011 when they
announced a deep strategic partnership
, which spelled the end of the competitive Symbian platform. The criticism was
quick to come
and the union was
slow to deliver
But with in late 2011 the pair began to turn the corner.
I. What did $250M USD Buy? 1M Windows Phones, Thus Far
The story is in the spotlight today after Nokia revealed in an earnings conference call that it had received $250M USD as part of a series of "platform support payments". The revelation pulled back the cloak that Microsoft had been keeping over the deal, commenting only that it had made "significant investments" in Nokia.
Clearly Microsoft is living in bizarro world,
a third-party $250 USD per handset, approximately. By contrast Apple, Inc. (
) gets
approximately $600 USD per handset
. Microsoft
$6.6B USD in profit for the quarter, so it has some money to play with. And at this point Microsoft doesn't have much choice, as customers simply aren't lining up in the heat or cold to wait for the latest Windows Phone.
When looking the $250M USD payout, the big question is -- was it worth it?
The bad new is that Nokia did lose a massive €954M ($1.254B) for Q4, despite the payment. The loss plunged its fiscal calendar 2011 to a loss of €1.073B ($1.411B). For the quarter Nokia
clung to its top spot
in global feature phone sales, shedding only 1 percent. But smart phone sales plunged by almost a third (31%).
Aside from the sales, further signs of Nokia's struggles can be seen in its €1.090B ($1.434B) partial impairment (reevaluation of assets) concerning "goodwill" -- an accounting term that indicates brand reputation. In other words, Nokia admits financially, at least, that its brand took a massive hit in 2011.
The pressing question is what will happen next. Nokia's biggest problem is that it's scrapping its Symbian smartphone lineup, but lacks as diverse a Windows Phone family to replace it at present. Nokia did sell 1 million Windows Phones in Europe in Nov.-Dec. 2011 with only two models --
the Nokia Lumia 710 and 800

With U.S. sales kicking off with the Lumia 710, which just went on sale on Deutsche Telekom AG's (
) T-Mobile USA, and with a slick new superphone --
the Lumia 900
-- landing in the U.S. and Europe later this year, Nokia has the potential to pick up some steam.

Nokia financials -- while seemingly bad -- were better than analyst expectations, as were its smartphone sales. Analysts expected Nokia to only sell ~18.5 million smartphones for the quarter, but the better-than-expected Windows Phone launch dragged in 19.6 million. By contrast Apple sold 37 million smartphones for the quarter -- putting it in first place globally -- followed closely by Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd.'s (
) 35 million Android smartphone sold.
II. 2012 is Windows Phone's Biggest Test Yet
The big test will come this year as Microsoft and Nokia work to bring Windows Phone to emerging markets -- a place where Nokia's budget smartphones have traditionally outperformed Apple and Samsung. Nokia is the
top smartphone seller in China
, which recently passed the U.S. to become the biggest market. It outsold Samsung smartphones nearly 2-to-1 in China.
Nokia and Microsoft have what looks to be a winner -- attractively packaged smartphones with a slick, intuitive, colorful operating system. The key test in terms, aside from the transition on the budget smartphone end in China, will be how much traction Nokia can get with U.S. carriers.
Nokia faces unique challenges both in the U.S. and abroad [Image Source: Nokia Blog]
AT&T, Inc. (
) has announced that it will be carrying the Nokia Lumia 900. Given AT&T's focus on the Lumia 900 at CES 2012, it can be presumed that AT&T will market this as the "premium" Windows Phone model (despite the HTC Corp. (
Titan II
carrying slightly better specs).
The real test is whether Nokia can "
pull a Samsung
" and crank out a repackaged Lumia 900 (or some similar high-end offering) to sell on America's largest carrier, Verizon Wireless (Verizon Wireless is a joint subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc. (
) and Vodafone Group Plc. (
If Nokia can manage to squeeze on Verizon and get a firm commitment out of the top U.S. carrier, it will have devices available to around 80 percent of American consumers. That's a big deal.
So to recap, Nokia's earnings are better then expected, but a loss is still a loss. Nokia's homework in 2012 will be to:
Successfully transistion its budget lineup to Windows Phone
Carry out a strong Lumia 900 launch on AT&T
Lure Verizon into a H2 2012 launch
Even if they don't like Nokia's devices, Windows Phone fans should be rooting for Nokia to pull off this turnaround. Because for better or worse, both companies' smartphone futures are now intimately tied to each other in terms of brand image and finances.

A two day escape exploring the majesty of Loch Ness, the Caledonian pine forest, and the stunning scenery of the Cairngorms National Park.
Pitlochry - This wonderful little village was one of Queen Victoria's favourite holiday spots.
Caledonian Pine Forest walk - Walk over mossy paths and under a dark green canopy in a gorgeous forest.
Cairngorms National park - Gaze in awe at Scotland's most beautifully rounded peaks.
Urquhart Castle - Take a chance to explore a ruined castle overlooking Loch Ness.
Inverness - The 'Capital of the Highlands' blends Victorian architecture with a lively modern lifestyle.
Loch Ness - Take a chance to go on an optional boat cruise or wander around the shores of this alluring and eerie loch.
Great Glen - A humongous fault line through the Scottish Highlands; a location that's as historically important as it is stunning.
Glencoe - Be moved by the sheer beauty and tragic tale of one of Scotland's most famous landscapes.
Explore Loch Ness and the Highlands at a laid-back pace on this two day tour.
You learn about Scotland's native forests on a tranquil walk. You travel through majestic mountains and quaint villages. And you get plenty of time to see if you can find the infamous Loch Ness Monster.
So join this tour, relax and let us show you the best of the Scottish Highlands.
Students, seniors over 60, and children between 5 and 15 (unfortunately, we don't carry children under 5 years old)
You leave Edinburgh and head north across the River Forth towards the Highlands.
You make a short stop in one of the quintessential Scottish towns bordering the highland fault line, before crossing into the Cairngorms National Park.
There are numerous options on route including a famous whisky distillery, stunning caledonian forest walks, ancient standing stones, world-changing battlefields, and beautiful lochs. What you do today will be decided by your group and the ever- changing Scottish climate. Ample time for lunch will be given en route.
You then continue north and arrive in Inverness, where you're dropped off at your accommodation.
The evening is free for you to explore the capital of the Highlands.
After a leisurely breakfast you're picked up from your accommodation and taken into the surrounding countryside.
You travel to Loch Ness where you have the chance to take a boat trip along the loch or stay on shore and visit the impressive ruins of Urquhart castle overlooking the loch.
Our journey continues south through the Great Glen past Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in UK and Fort William. You stop for lunch along the way before arriving in Glencoe.
The return journey continues over the wild and remote Rannoch Moor and into the lowland scenery around Stirling, before finally reaching our starting point of Edinburgh.
This trip was definitely the highlight of our time is Scotland this year! We got an extra stop in Culloden - we really wanted to visit there and it was not a planned stop in that tour. Liam and Jodie were kind, professional, and very pleasent. Whenever we come again we want to travel only with them! P.S - Loved the place we stayed for the night in Inverness - the Dalmore guest house. Comfiest beds weve ever slept in!
The 4day tour with my husbands relations from New Zealand on 4th of July this year with our tour guide , Keith , was the best tour we have ever been on ! Amazing trip , Keith was so knowledgeable and helpful , made it lots of fun !
Great time in Highland with the wonderful guide Catty! It was my first time in Highland but (thanks to Catty and fantastic Highlands landscapes) not the last, I hope. Thanks for everything! You are the best guide ever: helpful, full of stories, kind. And excellent driver also! Thanks for a amazing trip. Natalia.
i travelled with my wife on the 20th and 21st. it was a fantastic experience especially because of our driver/guide dave. He is extremely knowledgable and witty and was really keen on showing us the different sites. also full credit to rabbies to have a tour for just 4 people (we were accompanied by a lovely italian couple) inspite of taking us in a 16 seater
Simply had to write in to convey how memorable our 2 day tour on 16 and 17 April was. Our tour guide was amazing. His repertoire of information would put any academic to shame. He kept us enthralled throughout the 2 days, never a dull moment. He even sang for us, and pretty impressive singing it was. All in all a trip we would never forget mainly due to the pretty sights and the extra efforts of our tour guide....Kudos to him and your organisation. PS. He does resemble Gerard Butler !!! See pics of him with my wife and friend
I did the two day Lochness and Inverness tour with Rabbies. Our tour guide was Arron (the wee man), he was exceptionally good. He was really funny and kept us entertained. Loved the stories he told us along the way. Learned a lot about the Scottish history along the way. He also played a great selection of music. On the first day we had the perfect sunny weather as we drove towards Inverness, second day we had the gray sky with a lot of snow fall as well, it still was amazing.. The boat trip through Lochness, then to Glencoe!! It was just perfect.. Without feeling rushed there were many stops along the way for pictures. All in all a really good trip with some amazing memories, big thanks to Arron. Between both days the only thing that could have been better was the hostel selection, which was Inverness Student Hotel. If I knew beforehand I would have requested a different accommodation. Arron also informed us all the things Rabbis doing to protect the environment such as self-imposed carbon tax, plating trees. If I am ever is Scotland again, I will definitely book another tour with Rabbies.
Had an amazing two day tour of Edinburgh-Inverness. An extra applause to our guide Daniel,who is rich of information and facts. Would love to visit again with friends and families and hopw we get Dan as our tour guide again.
Me and my husband had an amazing 2 day trip of Scotland with Doug as our driver giude. He was fantastic and had so much knowledge. We would love to bring our friends/family for yet another tour and we hope we get Doug as the driver giude next time as well. You made our easter Doug.. Thanks for that!!
We will thank Alan for a great tour to Inverness. We really enjoy it. Alan made it a memory for life. He is the best! Thank you for the trip on June 27-28 2014. We hope you will be our guide next year when we hope to come back for a 5 days trip with Rabbies. Greetings from the stupid swedish family who asked if there was a cash-machine in Inverness.

text: Multithreading is one of the topics I'll have to start looking at with more attention and I'm thinking of adding posts about it in the future. Today I've read an interesting article on how to debug multithreaded applications on the site Packt. The author has also written a book on that topic (which I've already received). Yes, I'll be publishing a review about it when I finish reading it.

Patents. Juries. Success.
Exergen Corporation vs. Kaz, USA, Inc.
Sunstein lawyers won a $14.6M verdict for patent infringement following a two-week jury trial for our client Exergen, the people who pioneered the temporal artery thermometer.
Abbott Laboratories v Syntron Bioresearch, Inc.
In a case involving immunoassay technology, we obtained a jury verdict of patent infringement and a permanent injunction on behalf of Abbott Laboratories.
Our successful advocacy extends to patent reexaminations and interferences.
Winning at Post Grant Proceedings
Apple Inc., Google Inc., Motorola Mobility LLC v. Arendi S.A.R.L.
We won a rare Federal Circuit Court of Appeals reversal of an IPR decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which had invalidated our client's patent claims. The Federal Circuit accepted our argument that the Board had improperly relied on a "common sense" observation to invalidate Arendi's patent.
Spotlight on Patents
A recent patent we obtained for our client Nexsan, of Santa Clara, CA, U.S. Patent No. 9218406 covers a private cloud storage system in which security is maintained by storing the data on devices (sold under the Transporter brand) of individual users. Data is shared on a peer-to-peer basis. A central server governs access based on user privileges without storing any of the shared data. This patent has issued in one of the fields in which recent court rulings have been propelling rapid evolution of the law.

Our Latest Thinking
It used to be risky for a patent owner to lie in wait for several years before suing a suspected infringer. That risk is gone, now that the Supreme Court has struck down the laches defense to infringement suits.
The designs on cheerleader uniforms are not high art, but they have enough pictorial quality independent of the uniforms to qualify for copyright protection. The Supreme Court's decision brings cheer to the fashion industry.
It's easy for an accused infringer to say the asserted patent is an obvious combination of existing innovations. It's much less easy, however, to prove that a motivation to combine existed, which is critical to an obviousness defense.

Safe and quiet in Chesapeake City
... we stopped. Smokey got tons of attention from people on the boardwalk too! There is live entertainment at the bar tonight. I don't think we'll go back for drinks since we went out for lunch, but we'll probably dress warmly, pour some drinks and bring our chairs up to the front of the boat and listen since the bar is so close. We will leave tomorrow and head down the Chesapeake, probably to Annapolis area. It has been a relaxing stay, and we have our energy back for another good push ...

The Portland Trail Blazers have had a very active offseason, an offseason that has included trades, the NBA Draft, free agent signings and a renamed stadium. Some of these moves and changes have been more publicized than others. One that I feel has been a little overshadowed has been the signing of Mo Williams. Free agency has been very tough for the Blazers. A lot of people talk about how Portland is too small of a city; there is nothing to drive these young talented basketball players to this city. The Hedo Turkoglu situation was talked about for a long time; he passed on Portland because his wife didn't want to live here. On the other hand, Jamal Crawford signed a contract with the Blazers a couple years ago as a very established role player and sixth man. Was free agency this year a success? I would say, absolutely yes. I am talking purely the free agency aspect of the offseason. The two big names that signed contracts with Portland are Dorell Wright and Mo William...

Patricia Elliot
She stood tall with her head up, but she looked like she was going to snap, a face only Aly and I could recognize. The last time she looked like this was after her abortion. We never quite talked about it, she would make an excuse to leave when the conversation crept towards anything to do with babies, pregnancy, sex or mothers.
Nico always had a way of hiding things, whether it be through clothing or with witty words that shut people up and lured them to a different subject.
For some reason, after she got the abortion, I thought about babies, my family future and whatnot. And I decided I wanted my daughter to be exactly like her. I was never good at hiding pain. If I was depressed, I looked depressed. If I cried, my eyes were red and I wouldn't put my hair in my face deliberately to change it.
But now that I think about it, I hope Marilee-Jane is nothing like Nico. I showed I was hurting up front and I have a beautiful daughter and an amazing husband and Nico hid it and her life is in pieces.
"Hi, we're here to register." The man in front of the Main Hall saw us coming and had his pen and clipboard ready to check our names off.
"Names please?"
"Patricia Elliot," I said and turned to Nico to give him her name, "Nico?"
"Oh sorry. Nicolette Worthing." Her voice went softened on the surname. So she got married. Now I've got it figured out. "He was a jerk anyway."
From behind I could hear someone's heels clicking against the floor hurriedly. Nico and I turned around and the man at the door got his things ready again.
I glanced at the man and gave him a knowing look and said, "That's Alyson Sawyer."
