"As the team keeps developing, things like these will crop up and will have to be sorted out. I am sure we will look into these areas when we sit down to plan for the season ahead and I am positive the people concerned will take decisions that will be in the best interest of the team," Dravid said.
On whether he was in favour of Yuvraj Singh opening in the Tests, he said it was for the selectors to decide whether Yuvraj was good enough for the job.
"That's what they (selectors) are there for, to make decisions and judgements."
Dravid also said playing well against Australians gave him more satisfaction than playing against other sides including Pakistan.
"Every series is important and I can't say one series is bigger than the other. Obviously Australia is the best team in the world and when you play well against them, it gives you a lot more satisfaction," he said.
On being termed the best batsman in the Indian team by Gavaskar, Dravid said he did not particularly believe in rating individuals in a team sport.
"Obviously it's nice to hear nice things being said about you. But at the end of the day, you don't really play for those things. You play to contribute to a successful team effort, and in doing that if you do well, it is makes you feel really happy."

love this shake
by Laura on 12/2/2016
I think this drink (both chocolate and vanilla) tastes great and I look forward to having it every day!
Great shake
by JT on 6/14/2016
The vanilla and chocolate are both great. They must have changed the formula because I don't remember them tasting this good. I have one for breakfast and one for lunch if I am in a hurry. Smooth and great taste.
Great protein powder
by janice on 11/27/2015
I have been looking for a protein powder that I can tolerate and finally found one. I tried the Bariatric Fusion Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry and found them all if be very good. I mix with Skim or Soy Milk and the taste and consistency is the best I have tried thus far. I was so excited I brought samples to my support group and everyone was very pleased. I'm going to try Fusion vitamins as well:) Thank you!
Very Nice
by Raul on 8/7/2015
I was delighted to try the Fusion shakes. Vanilla was my favorite but chocolate and strawberry were very good as well. Will definitely be ordering again and highly recommend.
Unsatisfied customer!
by Deidre on 5/1/2015
I purchased the chocolate mousse and the vanilla meal replacement shakes along with the vitamins. I'm not crazy about the vitamins and the chocolate shake is disgusting it smelt and tastes like the castor oil that my mo gave me as a child so I am afraid to open the vanilla shake so I'm just going to return everything. Next! I just can't do this one.

THE Professional Footballers' Association announced last night that they were confident of securing backing from the nation's footballers over proposed strike action.
Brendan Batson, the PFA's financial executive, said that players across all four divisions were being advised by PFA representatives of the nature of the dispute before a possible ballot on strike action.
"We're going round to clubs and letting players know what the dispute is about," Batson said. "They are being convened by representatives and club captains. We've spoken to players in several different divisions up and down the country and they have been very supportive."
The PFA, who have not yet distributed strike ballot papers, have demanded five per cent of the revenue earned by clubs from television rights. They have taken the share for 46 years, which amounted to £8.8 million last year.
This season the Premier League have offered £5.2 million of their £1.65 billion deal, which equates to less than one per cent.
The PFA's management committee met on Sunday to discuss possible strike action. The committee are chaired by the former Southampton midfielder Barry Horne and include Manchester United's Gary Neville, Newcastle's Warren Barton, Chris Powell of Charlton and West Ham's Steve Lomas.
The ultimate decision on strike action rests with the players, though they receive guidance from the PFA's management group, who include chief executive Gordon Taylor, Batson and Mick McGuire.
McGuire, head of the PFA's commercial department, said: "Obviously we expect support from players in the lower divisions, but it is encouraging when the Premiership stars give us their full backing.
"We have had the likes of Di Canio, Le Saux, Mark Hughes and Colin Hendry backing up what we are doing. They know this is all about doing something for the disadvantaged, and they are totally in favour."

Inquiries Confounded by Many Diverse Accounts of Officers' Subway Station Shootout
By JOE SEXTON
Published: September 12, 1994
Shots rang out from three different directions, all fired from different types of weapons, all echoing crazily in the subway station deep under Lexington Avenue. There were 200 people on the East Side platform, and so there was screaming and scrambling everywhere shortly after 7 P.M. Aug. 22.
There were, as well, nine police officers at the scene -- four in plain clothes, four in uniform, one off duty. Two of the officers ended up wounded, one critically. The investigation, begun that night, involved two different departments -- the New York City Police Department and the Transit Police Department.
Soon, the Manhattan District Attorney's office announced it would investigate the chaos, and within days the family of the badly wounded transit officer said it, too, had hired investigators. Then, last week, the United States Justice Department said it would monitor the local investigations and open a preliminary inquiry into a complaint that the civil rights of Desmond Robinson, the black plainclothes officer who was shot as many as five times by a white off-duty officer, had been violated.
More than 80 witnesses have already been interviewed about the events that followed an attempt by transit officers to apprehend two armed youths. 'A Fine Enough Mess'
"A fine enough mess, huh?" said one law-enforcement official who has been involved in the investigation from its outset.
The confusion, the trauma, the element of race, the number of witnesses, the loyalties of detectives from different departments are all factors that have convinced some senior officials that the full truth of the circumstances surrounding the shooting may never be determined.
"We haven't made much progress since it happened," said Joseph R. Borrelli, chief of detectives for the N.Y.P.D. "We haven't learned anything more than it was incredibly confusing. I don't know that we'll ever be satisfied."
Chief Michael O'Connor, the head of the transit police, said: "I'm sure we'll get to the end with questions unanswered. But we have an obligation to explain why things are unclear."
Interviews with investigators, medical specialists, witnesses and lawyers, many of whom spoke only on the condition of anonymity, help explain why the sequence of events is frustrating investigators. Transit vs. N.Y.P.D.
Detectives from the two departments often work together, and always do so when there is a homicide in the subways. But because a transit officer, Joseph Fitzgerald, fired his gun during the incident, the internal affairs bureau of the transit police -- "the Rat Patrol," said one investigator -- has been a participant throughout the inquiry.
Early on, an agreement was reached that at least one detective or official from each department would be present at all witness interrogations. But according to investigators and officials, there has been a tension throughout, a friction some say was brought on by Police Commissioner William J. Bratton's comment hours after the shooting that he considered the incident a case of two good cops trying to do their jobs.
It would be human nature, said one lawyer close to the investigation, for Mr. Bratton's subordinates to lean toward making his opinion stand up.
Some officials acknowledge the strain, but dismiss any suggestions that the conclusions of the inquiry are preordained.
"These kinds of incidents produce awkward dances even when one department is investigating it," said Chief O'Connor. "You have people with a variety of opinions. I don't think it has been an enormous issue. But little things can become irksome."
Different detectives have assigned different levels of believability to certain witnesses, medical reports have been debated and each side has accused the other of improperly disclosing information to the press. The Medical Examiner
The examination of X-rays and the clothing of Officer Robinson, completed late last week, offered no definitive evidence of the trajectory of bullets or even the identification of entrance and exit wounds. Investigators had hoped the evidence would help determine where exactly Officer Robinson was shot, how many times he was shot in the back, and from what distance. Officer Robinson is expected to be interviewed by the District Attorney's Office today.
Officer Robinson's partner, Officer David Thompson, has told investigators that Officer Peter Del-Debbio shot Officer Robinson three times in the back as he lay on the platform. Another eyewitness, Dennis Kearns, has seconded that account. However, officials with the city's police union, who have interviewed Officer Del-Debbio, have said the officer denies ever having shot the Transit officer in the back while he lay on the ground.
"Medical examiners always work best with cadavers," said one law-enforcement official. "It's not always an exact science. They just don't tell you that."
Dr. Charles S. Hirsch, the city's chief medical examiner and the man who evaluated the evidence, said some details may eventually prove useful in ruling out certain accounts of what happened.
"Look, it didn't provide a whiz-bang solution," Dr. Hirsch said.
Brian O'Dwyer, the lawyer for Officer Robinson, has said that he had retained his own forensic pathologist to examine the evidence. The Witnesses
The dozens of accounts provided by witnesses, citizens as well as police officers, have been thoughtful, contradictory, and sometimes bizarre.
"We had one woman who very earnestly told us that she had seen and heard a shotgun fired six times," said one investigator.

Jewell - New deals are close
Paul Jewell hopes to have tied some of Ipswich's key players to new contracts by the end of the week.
Last Updated: 18/04/11 1:04pm
Ipswich manager Paul Jewell hopes to have tied some of his key players to new contracts by the end of the week.
Captain David Norris and centre-halves Damien Delaney and Gareth McAuley are amongst a whole host of players mulling over new deals in a scenario which Jewell wants to avoid again.
He said: "I spoke to Damien Delaney on Friday and we are more or less agreed. Well, we are agreed.
"Definitely by Tuesday at the latest we will have some news, about Delaney and McAuley, or three or even four or five of them.
"The thing I have to stress here is the players are not being greedy and they are not holding the club to ransom.
"We shouldn't have been in this situation, but we are, and I think as a club we have all got to learn from it."

130516 WHO Draft comprehensive mental health action plan 2013-2020
Report by the Secretariat
The burden of mental disorders continues to grow with significant impacts on health and major social, human rights and economic consequences in all countries across the world.
In May 2012, the Sixty-fifth World Health Assembly adopted resolution WHA65.4 on the global burden of mental disorders and the need for a comprehensive, coordinated response from health and social sectors at the country level. It urged Member States inter alia to develop and strengthen comprehensive policies and strategies that address the promotion of mental health, prevention of mental disorders, and early identification, care, support, treatment and recovery of persons with mental disorders. It also requested the Director-General, inter alia, to develop a comprehensive mental health action plan, in consultation with Member States, covering services, policies, legislation, plans, strategies and programmes.
A "zero draft" of the action plan, covering the period 2013–2020, was written and used as the basis for consultation with Member States, civil society and international partners. Consultations were held through five regional meetings, a Global Forum on Mental Health, a web-based consultation and an informal consultation with Member States. Feedback was received from 135 Member States, 60 WHO collaborating centres and academic centres, 76 nongovernmental organizations, as well as 17 other organizations and individual experts. The informal consultation with Member States was also used as an opportunity to present and discuss the feedback received through the previous consultations and to receive direction on the final draft of the action plan.
Pursuant to resolution WHA65.4, the draft comprehensive mental health action plan 2013–2020, addresses the disease, social and economic burdens and human rights consequences of mental disorders. It proposes clear actions for Member States and international, regional and national-level partners, as well as actions for the Secretariat. It also contains proposed indicators and targets that can be used to evaluate levels of implementation, progress and impact.

Posted in Arsenal
The League Cup (presently known as the Capitol One Cup) has been a source of bitter disappointment for Arsenal over the last two years. In 2011 they lost in the final to Birmingham City who scored in the final minute and this season they lost on a penalty kick decider to League Two side Bradford City. (Bradford made it all the way to the final only to lose 5-0 to Swansea on Sunday.)
It doesn't seem so long-ago that the League Cup was a regular showcase for young Arsenal talent. The conventional wisdom held that the Arsenal future was bright…. to read more please click on the link.
An interesting exercise. A few points by way of response.
I cannot argue with any of the past sales. The players were either not good enough to stay at the club or, in the case of Cesc and Song, agitated for a move to the best club in the world at the time for appropriate fees. There's some tiresome arguments about whether Wenger should have replaced them but that's a different topic.
It would be interesting to compare Arsenal's track record with other clubs in their bracket (which I would define as Champions League regulars in the biggest Europe leagues) in terms of developing players into first-team regulars. I suspect you'd see the same percentages even at clubs hailed for their development, including Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona. The difference is those clubs are not competing in leagues against clubs who've inflated both wages and transfer fees for proven talent in their markets after petro-fuelled sugar daddies buying up skint competitors.
Which sort of leads to my second point, which is the missing context of why Arsenal decided to go this route, which includes building a new stadium so they could better compete against the Chelseas and Mancester Citys along with established powers such as Manchester United. The fact Wenger was able to keep them in the Champions League by spending next to nothing compared to his rivals in the league table over the past eight years is nothing short of remarkable and, for me, ranks as one of his great achievements.
None of this is meant to take away from your exhaustive reasearch, which is appreciated as opposed to the cliched and bigoted drivel grunted out by most of Wenger's critics in the press and in the blogosphere. There are names of once-promising starlets that I had forgotten and it was interesting to see where some of them wound up.
In any case, I agree the percentages for success have not been great. Of those sold on, only Fabregas and Song can be considered successes, both in terms of what they did at the club and the fees they fetched from Barcelona.
Of the players on the books and out on loan, I'm fearful injuries have derailed Frimpong's development of what was great potential. Djourou, Bendtner and Denilson are, I'm afraid, lost causes and have been hawked around the world unsuccessfully by the club.
Of the players listed on the cusp, Wenger really rates Gnabry and it's easy to see why after I went over to watch the Schalke 04 game at the Emirates in October. The kid made a cameo and looks very promising. Of the rest of them, the only other names mooted by regular watchers of the reserves and youth games at Underhill are Miquel and Eisfeld (who has gaudy stats but tends to disappear in games — not a good sign).
Of those in the first team, the jury remains out on Coquelin, where Wenger's actions speak louder than words. With the sale of Song, he'd seem to be one of the few natural options for one of the two deeper pivot roles in midfield but he hasn't really been given opportunities and that's telling. Though also unproven, the Ox is in a slightly different category given his age but the potential is clearly there. Szczesny has also regressed this year but it's a little early to write him off just yet. Rambo, Walcott and Gibbs all have made strides this season and can be judged as qualified successes, at the very least. Wilshere joins Cesc and Song in the "real deal" category.
So where does that leave us? Probably behind Bayern, Dortmund and Barca – who've been at it one hell of a lot longer and playing by different rules until recently (in terms of the "catchment" area clubs were confined to in England) – but well ahead of most teams in our bracket (Champions League regulars in big European leagues) in terms of youth development.
As FFP kicks in, it will be interesting to see how clubs who've tried to buy quick fixes at the expense of developing youth will fare in the long run.
Thanks again for another interesting read.
I'd echo a good deal of what AG says, Bobby.
The fact is that very few of even the most highly prized academy players play regularly for first team PL clubs.
Perhaps Arsenal (and to a certain extent Wenger) are victims of their own early success… they made much of their record of developing young players in the 1990s.
They did do that, of course. But they also benefitted greatly from the unbelievable return they got from the (youth/young) purchases made with the proceeds of the Anelka sale (Viera, Henry & Petit(?) among them), and had good luck with the players they kept as well.
That was a gold rush moment for Arsenal: the kind of thing that might come along once in a generation (or less). United and many other clubs have had hot/cold spells in development (and purchases) as well, of course. As W.E. Deming said, 'variation is part of any process'. Even the best players, managers, refs etc have clanger moments. it happens across all sports (Glen Sather looked like a genius when he had the four best players in the game on his team… not so much afterwards…)
And sometimes players surprise you… there is a reason Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round by the Patriots, for example… and it isn't that everyone else forgot about him. He never once appeared to be destined for greatness while at Michigan… and recalls his teammates actually laughing at him when he turned up for his first training camp.
Regarding departures/lingerers…
Obviously you never want to see legitimate $30m+ players sold, but often there really is no option. Also, let's not forget United sold Ronaldo, and no-one accuses them of 'settling for second tier' status.
Of those who've headed out that we'd like back, apart from Fabregas and Song (who was good but not great IMO), I think Lansbury didn't really get a long enough look (though as I recall, he's only out on long term loan?). If they did transfer him permanently, I don't believe he got enough of a chance. That's not to say I think he's a definite future star, but he did have potential and was still very young when he moved.
As AG says, as far as the ones who've stayed too long, the usual suspects. If they hadn't had the defensive changes experienced over the last few years, I doubt that Sagna would still be around. Jenkinson is coming along nicely (though he's often been thrown in at the deep end, he's survived it at least) and could be a fine player in a couple of years. Koscielny and Vermaelen have not been successful (in the case of the latter, much to my surprise… I really thought he'd be a big help).
There are just too many purchases presently on the first team who look like either emergency or second choice signings. As I've often said, rather than criticizing Wenger for failing to get a certain $$$$ player, I'm more concerned about who he has bought with whatever he was given to spend.
In my view, who he's "settled for" is a better reflection of his skill as a manager than who he couldn't afford.
Of course, it's always possible there will be wholesale change at Arsenal…
After reading Burt's column, I have to say it sounds like something a sport journalist (or Arsenal fan) might have dreamed up himself… far too many illogical financial statements included in the discussion. Still, given the number of clubs that actually have been purchased for illogical sums by oil wealth elites…. I guess it's not impossible.
Hard to imagine Kroenke selling out, though.

The Consumer Electronics Association is lashing out at a proposal from the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Association of Broadcasters that would mandate mobile device manufacturers to integrate FM radio chips into all wireless phones manufactured and sold in the U.S. The proposal is the latest chapter in a long-running dispute between terrestrial radio broadcasters and the recording industry over music royalties, with the NAB battling the RIAA's push to require radio stations to pay labels and performers for the right to broadcast their songs. Existing U.S. laws demand radio stations pay royalties to songwriters, but not labels or artists–broadcasters contend that radio airplay provides free promotion and drives music purchases and concert ticket sales, but with CD sales in steep decline, the RIAA is exploring new revenue alternatives.
Although both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate Judiciary Committees have passed bills that would award labels and artists a share of radio advertising revenues generated by playing their music, legislation has stalled in the face of overwhelming opposition from the NAB. Broadcasters, looking to expand their audience reach, have now proposed a new settlement, agreeing to pay the RIAA around $100 million in annual royalties on the condition that lawmakers mandate the inclusion of FM radio chips in mobile phones and other portable devices. Congress is expected to act on the proposal sometime this fall. "Nothing is locked down just yet, but we're on the precipice of an historic breakthrough," RIAA chairman and CEO Mitch Bainwol told the Associated Press.
"This is two old-media industries attacking the new wireless broadband industry," said Consumers Electronics Association head Gary Shapiro. "We don't think Congress should accept a back-room deal on how an iPhone should be designed. We think consumers should choose and companies should choose." Jot Carpenter, vice president of government affairs for wireless industry trade organization CTIA, states there is "not a huge desire [among consumers] to listen to over-the-air, ad-laden radio" on mobile devices, adding there is scarce demand for phones with FM radio chips.

Sydney Water Report
Since August more than 2 million residents of Sydney and surrounds have been on an on again/off again 'boil water'alert because of the presence of cryptosporidium and giardia in test samples of the water supply. This week the third report of the Sydney Water Inquiry found that the testing methods were unreliable and that there may have been mis-identification of some algae as parasites, and counts done on degraded cryptosporidium oocysts. Sydney Water's laboratory, Australian Water Technologies (AWT) has come in for scathing criticism.

Moore Place helps women and children get back on their feet. The families can truly trust and depend on Moore Place. Moore Place doesn't just give hand-outs, they focus on empowering women so they can be strong again. The computers are used for finding jobs and educational placement.
dolores60 11/30/2010
Since 2007 Moore Place has helped to provide Chicago area female domestic violence abuse victims and their children with a safe daytime haven that includes the amenities of home, counseling, and respite from dangerous situations.
Moore Place is a true blessing to the community.All over the city people are in need of help and Moore Place is there to answer the call.They definately go beyond the call of duty.
Moore Place is a wonderful organization. They help the women regain their self-esteem and take control of their life. They understand what the victims are going through.
I'm a young man and,I understand how violences can get out of control from just watching some of my peers acting out at times. Moore Place has taught me how to control my anger.
Moore Place is an organization that is committed to raise awareness of domestic violence both inside and outside of the community.Their a non-profit day shelter for women and children that has been abused.
I enjoyed working for Moore Place. I believe that they are the only day shelter for domestic violence victims in Chicago,IL. The reason that I'm not working their is the lack of funds.
Moore Place was ok. They helped the women and the children, but what about the men? I say that because I have seem some women take advantage of a good guy, For example, they hit the guy and curse him out in front of his friends.
Moore Place has help my children and I when we were in needed of service.They fed us and gave us warm and clean clothing, and they helped us locate shelter. We will always be greatful for Moore Place.
It's a great organization for victims of domestic violence. Their primary goals are the wellfare of the victims. They care about each and every client that comes to Moore Place.
Moore Place goes above and beyond to help women and children who are victims of domestic violence. I have witnessed Moore Place give away coats, shoes/boots, clothes, food, bus cards, diapers, personal items, awareness/education, and most important; understanding and love. By Sandra

After the success of the July 20th Operation Valkyrie plan to kill the German dictator Adolf Hitler, the group dismantled Hitler's Reich and formed the new Free Republic of the German Reich. General Ludwig Beck assumed the office of President of the Republic and Dr Goerdeler as Chancellor of The Republic.
On July 22nd any remaining member of The Nazi Party was shot in the courtyard of Bendlerblock in Berlin. The government did not and still has not released the territory's that Hitlers Reich held. On July 30th a peace was reached with the Western Allies. However, the Soviets demanded that all Nazis be exported to the Soviet Union for time in the gulag. Jospeh Goebbels was deported to the Soviet Union and he was missing until 1950 when his body was found on the border with Poland.
Under the new government elections are held every four years and are considered fair and free. The largest and most supported political party is "German Reich's Resistant Party". This is the party that has dominated since the coup as many Germans (especially the ones who were persecuted under the Third Reich) fell in debt to Claus von Stauffenburg and his troop who saved them from the party. The current Chancellor is Angela Merkel of the German Reich's Resistant Party and the office of President is filled by Horst Kohler also of the same party.
After the end of National Socialism the Economy under the command of the new government was changed greatly with privatisation forced. The currency Reichmark was changed in 1946 to the National German Dollar. Hyper Inflation was only just everted when all stores were ordered to take Nazi issue currency and replace them with new Reichmark's.
The Republic's technology is on par with many first world nations. Germany has become one of the biggest computer producers in the world. With the new company Next Generation Technology they are the biggest company in Germany closely followed by Mercedes-Benz.

Keep a tight hold on your tools, even when your grasp of good musical taste falters.
Ice climbers and winter mountaineers: despite the fact that you're wearing the Outdoor Research Alibi II Glove as you scale up a 100ft frozen waterfall, there's still no excuse for busting out that refrain when you reach the top. If you aren't familiar with what refrain we're talking about, all the better. Updated but not changed, the Alibi II features an articulating wrist harness secured with a leather cuff closure. Softshell finger sidewalls and pre-curved construction provide a custom-like fit for total dexterity and easy tool maneuvering. The Pittards Oiltac leather palm gives you a firm hold on your tools or the pitch, whether it's bone dry and cold or a bit wetter than preferred. A carabiner loop on the back of the glove keeps gear within reach, and corded nylon protects the back of the glove from scratchy rocks and sharp ice shards.

Amazing Gloves
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have only had a chance to use these a few times so far, but absolutely love them. So far they have proven to be plenty waterproof and great even as a glove to use while ski touring, as I typically run pretty cold. The leather palm helps you keep a nice grip on your ski pole, ice axe, or ice tool and the softshell finger sidewalls help keep my hands from going numb. As an added bonus, they work well with touch screens also!
Although they started out a little on the small size for me, they have stretched to be more comfortable so I would recommend going with your normal glove size, for me size L.
Definitely give these gloves a shot. They're incredibly well designed and look sleek while you're out there!
Great for ice climbing
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I have been trying to find a great spring skiing glove and i really don't like the options that are out there so i have been trying other types of gloves.
When i first pulled these gloves on they felt comfortable and molded to my hand shape. The leather palm is nice and tacky for good grip and the added protection around the thumb and index finger will keep the glove from splitting. Overall very comfortable and useful glove
For me its just a fit issue, just a bit to big. I have Donald Trump sized hands, so these did not work for me. Going back to custom glove sizes for my needs.
Ha! Thanks for the review! Did you get the smalls? Maybe we can look at our scale. What size dod you usually wear? I am sorry they didn't work out!
OR Rep
I got the smalls, i had a small amount of overhang on every single finger, which i'm very picky about. 99% of mens gloves don't fit my hands anyway so I think for most men the sizing on these gloves is perfect, but i found a brand that seems like they used my hand to make their smallest size so i stick with those.
Would recommend when dexterity is needed
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Outdoor Research gloves Alibi are great for holding on to tool or ice axe. A little cold but they were much better at not getting soaked by the snow and water then I expected. Would recommend when dexterity is needed.
Perfect assessment - definitely more of a single - two pitch ice climbing glove! Throw some Transcendent Mitts in your pack to warm up afterwards - they are like sleeping bags for your hands!
Enjoy -
OR Rep
Not for me
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These gloves are super grippy and leave you practically with full dexterity which is awesome. Would prefer something a little easier to get on. I'm not a fan of a super tight glove which these definitely are.
As the other reviews suggest, this is definitely a warm weather glove. The leather freezes up quickly, and they get cold. Used them in high 20s and ended up with the lovely screamin barfies (with extra barf). Switched to warmer gloves and was much better off. Probably won't be using them for ice climbing again. Too thin and too constricting.
Hey Teddy, it's definitely a single pitch glove. Dexterous and thin, it doesnt offer alot of warmth, but GRIP is it's forte! We also want it to fit snug, like a climbing shoe, so there is little room for movement inside.
Try the Alpine Alibi II for more warmth and GoreTex!

Very happy

I have been climbing with the BD Punishers for that last few seasons, and I just couldn't stand the lack of dexterity any longer. I now use these gloves for climbing, and immediately switch to mitts when I'm done. They aren't warm, like others have said, but if you're pissed off at not being as dextrous as you'd like, these gloves are for you. They're durable.
THE Warm Weather Glove
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
To be honest, Asadarnell posted a pretty spot-on review for these gloves, but I'll do my best to add on.
These gloves are "almost" as good as just taping the tools to your hands. They fit so well, and the Oiltac leather is *super* tacky. The wrist closure is basic but secure, I have not been worried about my hands "squirming" around within the glove.
The only downside I really have to these gloves, is that they don't seem to breathe all that well. I'd agree with asadarnell in that these are warm weather gloves, and as such I would have expected them to breathe a tad bit better.
That being said, the comfort, fit, and the dexterity, OH THE DEXTERITY!, make this my go-to warm weather (20+ degrees) ice climbing gloves.
Great climbing glove
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The alibi II is an all around great glove for warmer weather ice climbing. Don't expect it to keep your hands very warm (or dry), but it provides everything I was looking for.. it's not bulky, super grippy palms, doesn't limit dexterity, and blocks wind. Ice climbing in about 25-30 degree weather, my hands only ever got cold while belaying, but I think you might want a different glove (Warrant, Alpin alibi) for super cold climbing. The gloves seem to be very durable, I use them almost daily for working out with my ice tools, biking to work, and wear them all day climbing (belaying, rapelling, scrambling over rock, etc) and there is no sign of wear. They are dexterous enough to the point where I don't need to remove them to access my pack, use zippers, or put on crampons. They actually work with iPhone touch screens - not sure if that was a design feature or a coincidence, but it's super nice when I can take pictures with my phone without removing them. I'd definitely recommend these gloves, but make sure you're purchasing the right grade of glove for the weather you'll be climbing in. Get these for dexterity and low-bulk with a hint of warmth and weather protection. I'd look more at the Warrant or Alpine Alibi if you need more protection from the elements.
Excellent all-arounder!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I don't ice climb, but I do quite a bit of general mountaineering and summit scrambling. For my purposes, these gloves have served me very well. They are quite durable and have held up to some rope abuse as well as climbing over rock. They're a little less warm than a 200 weight fleece glove but they provide way more dexterity, grip, and water resistant (especially if you treat the leather). These are my go to gloves for scrambles; even in the summer since they are light enough to breathe a little bit. Also, the gloves are dexterous enough for me to keep them on while pulling zippers on my pack, using a camera, and putting on crampons. I've even tied my boots while wearing these! These are quite form fitting and are perfect as a light and dexterous all-around glove. Overall: very versatile gloves that are still going strong after a decent bit of abuse!
Is this glove waterproof?
Is this glove waterproof?
No, the Outdoor Research Alibi II Glove is not fully waterproof. The idea with this glove is to create a good blend of water resistance and mobility/breathability. Pittards leather palms are treated to prevent the absorption of moisture, while the polyamide and elastane shell allows you freedom of movement and breathability so you can articulate your hands and handle those ice tools with precision.

* China inflation at 7-month high; cuts room for stimulus * Brazil real may test 2-per-dollar level soon * Brazil real falls 0.3 pct; Mexico peso drops 0.36 percent By Walter Brandimarte RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Latin American currencies weakened on Friday as investors worried that China, the main consumer of the region's commodity exports, will have limited room to stimulate its economy because of rising inflation. Losses were limited as many analysts remain bullish about Latin American currencies, either on expectations of solid economic performance, as is the case in Mexico, or because of concerns over inflation, as in Brazil. After a good rally so far this year, however, some investors seemed ready to pocket part of those gains. The profit taking was triggered by data showing inflation in China accelerated to a seven-month high in December. The Mexican peso dropped 0.36 percent to 12.6500 per dollar, still holding on to gains of about 1.7 percent so far in the year. It closed on Thursday near a 10-month high after data showed the country's economy accelerated in October. But data released on Friday revealed that Mexico's industrial output in November missed expectations for a stronger rebound, despite edging up to a five-month high. The Brazilian real lost 0.3 percent to 2.035 per dollar, still up 0.25 percent since Jan. 1. As inflation in Brazil remains above the center of a government target range, investors bet the central bank would keep the real stronger than 2.05 per dollar to avoid a pass-through to prices. Some even believe policymakers might allow the real to gain slightly past 2 per dollar - the lower limit of a de facto trading range where the real has been confined since July. "The balance of risks has shifted towards inflation," JP Morgan analysts said in a research note. "A persistent and broad-based weakness of the U.S. dollar could provide a cue for an eventual test of the 2 reais-per-dollar level."

Heart Investigation: Social Media Pressure On The Rise Among West Mids Teens
Almost half of young people have been threatened online with more than half being the victim of false rumours.
A&E services at a scandal-hit hospital have been suspended for under-18s because senior clinicians have advised that they are not safe.
University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust said it acted on Thursday because of a lack of "professionally trained and experienced staff'' at Stafford's County Hospital, which used to be called Stafford Hospital.
The trust said children should not be taken to County Hospital as walk-in patients, adding that those with minor illnesses and injuries should use primary care services such as their GP or community pharmacists.
It added: "Families who believe their children need emergency (A&E) attention should dial 999 for an ambulance. Ambulances will always take children to the most appropriate hospital to treat their condition.''
Acting Medical Director John Oxtoby spoke to Heart about the closure:
Liz Rix, chief nurse and acting deputy chief executive, said: "I fully appreciate the impact these temporary changes will have on families in Stafford and the surrounding area, and understand that people will be very concerned about this news.
"However, we cannot and will not continue to deliver services without the confidence that those services are safe.
"I want to thank my fellow clinical colleagues for reviewing the situation and for their advice, which has led to us taking this difficult short-term decision.
"This allows us the space to examine future options for safe children's services at County Hospital with input from our staff, regulators and partners.''
Dr Ann Marie Morris, clinical director and emergency medicine consultant, said: "I want to reassure parents that we have taken this decision in the best interests of children.
"Whilst it is regrettable that some children may have to travel further for care, our first priority has to be providing a safe clinical service.
"People view the Children's Emergency Centre as a safety net, but this is only the case when the right number of professionally trained, experienced staff are in place at all times.
"This is not currently the case, and, as we cannot resolve this in the short term, the only responsible course of action we can take is to suspend the service.''
Around 30 children a day are seen at the A&E, and local commissioners and Stafford MP Jeremy Lefroy have asked the trust to produce a detailed plan and a timescale for the next steps "as a matter of urgency''.
The Stafford Hospital scandal involved poor care and high mortality rates among patients in the late 2000s.
It was renamed County Hospital after a #6 million public inquiry into the scandal, which concluded that hundreds of patients died after receiving poor care.
The hospital is not the only to be hit by A&E staff shortfalls in recent months.
Earlier this month, Grantham and District Hospital announced it was to temporarily close its doors at night because of a shortage of emergency doctors.
In April, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was forced to temporarily downgrade Chorley and South Ribble Hospital to an urgent care unit because it did not have enough doctors.
At the time the hospital said that continuing to provide a service without enough doctors would be "negligent'' and put patients at "unacceptable risk''.
In June, North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust also conceded that it was "facing a number of issues'' in the A&E department, "particularly around medical staffing''.
Last month, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine warned that a gap between supply and demand for emergency doctors was leading to a "real crisis''.
Stafford Conservative MP Jeremy Lefroy said he is "deeply disappointed'' by the suspension and is pushing for the matter to be ``resolved urgently''.
"It is a vital part of our local NHS, serving some 30 of my younger constituents every day,'' he added.
"The safety of patients is paramount and so I understand the trust's decision to suspend the service.
"But the trust also has a clear responsibility to restore this essential service as soon as is safely possible.''
Almost half of young people have been threatened online with more than half being the victim of false rumours.
The siblings of a 26 year-old killed in a fight outside a pub in Birmingham have told Heart it's hit everyone who knew him.
Construction company Carillion have been named as one of the winners of £6.6 billion worth of contracts for the development of the controversial HS2 rail line.
A man who is terminally ill with motor neurone disease is to continue his "fight for choice at the end of life'' at the High Court.

Evangeline Lilly Continues To Use 'Lost' Set As Personal Dating Service
Does the end of Lost mean the end of Evangeline Lilly dating life?
It definetly looks like the 30-year-old actress has been using the show as her personal dating service: she dated co-star Dominic Monaghan for three years before breaking up in 2007 and now she is reportedly dating a production assistant from the show named Norman Kali.
A source says that although Evangeline and Dominic had a hot on-set romance, her newest boyfriend is the total package: "he's handsome, strong and buff […] he loves the outdoors and has a great sense of humor."
Gee, he sounds…exactly like Sawyer.

Question about Nikon COOLPIX L18 Digital Camera
Posted by spiritphyl on
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Nikon Transfer and Picasa.

Pea Plant Discovery.
Author:Tia Lee
Learn More About The Father Of Modern Genetics.
Johann Mendel or Gregor Mendel was a botanist/scientist.He researched about his famous pea plant experiment.
Mendel discovered the basic fundamental of heredity.
He cross-fertilized pea plants that had obvious opposite characteristics. For example, tall with short, smooth with wrinkled, green peas with yellow peas, etc. After examining his results,he reached two of his most important concl-usions. The Law of Segregation, if the dominant and recessive traits passed on from the parents to the offspring (child) to identify weather a dominant or recessive offspring would come out you must use a Punnett square.
