Prior to this week's unsettled weather, local waters were fishing quite well. Both trollers and bank anglers were having success at Almanor. Mild weather had allowed for good lake access and decent fishing. I say "decent" because the fish were somewhat scattered and cold water temperatures have the fish moving and biting more slowly than they would during warmer months. But still, the fishing was good.
The Portola High School wrestling team traveled to Redding for the Mid Valley League Championships Saturday, Feb. 12.
Competing in seven of the 14 weight classes, the Portola wrestlers placed third overall in team standings.
Portola coach Jason Klemesrud described the outcome as "a huge victory in itself."
Klint Williams, wrestling at 160 pounds for Portola, won first place and received a league championship award.

The Tigers faced the Trojans on Tuesday night in a crowded andnoisyhome gym. The game was intense from the beginning, with the Trojans outscoring the Tigers 14-11 in the opening act.
The Feather River College men's and women's basketball teams posted a pair of wins on the road against College of the Redwoods Saturday, Feb. 5, when the FRC men won 93-92, and the FRC women won 65-50.
In the men's game, Feather River battled back from an 11-point deficit at halftime for a one-point win. Six FRC players scored in double figures.
There, I feel better now.

Community commerce app from father-son development team now available in the Apple App Store
NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Founder of the popular Pirate's Booty snack brand Rob Ehrlich and his 18-year-old son Harry Ehrlich are pleased to introduce their new app Shadoobie (http://shadoobie.com/), now available in the Apple App Store.

A community commerce app, Shadoobie aims to revolutionize the retail experience for consumers and brands alike by giving users a fun, simple interface for sharing their retail experiences. Recent buys, old favorites, wish lists and more can be shared – all for the purpose of highlighting how we use and interact daily with our things.
"Shadoobie shares the inspiration and innovation behind everyday things, making 'stuff' more social than ever before," says co-developer Rob Ehrlich. Here are some questions that Shadoobie can help address:
Trend-setting influence is an important feature for Shadoobie users, who build a network of followers to influence and be influenced by in the worlds of shopping, trends, entertainment and more.
Interacting with one's network is simple, both inside and beyond the Shadoobie community. Users can like posts, comment on them and share them on Facebook to enrich their experience and gain clout as influencers.
Shadoobie doesn't just gather data and hide it away, however. "Our developers are working on ways to synthesize and visualize user-provided data so users can make their mark, predict what's next and influence the community at large," explains co-developer Harry Ehrlich.
Of course, Shadoobie is about more than sharing purchases and wishlists -- it also acts as a personal shopping assistant, giving users a crowdsourced guide to uncovering the best products for people just like them. Shadoobie is a great way for users to make more informed purchase decisions and learn about themselves along the way.
Sharing is easy and intuitive with a built-in camera feature and hashtagging capabilities that provide inspiration, paving the way for tastemakers and bringing together those with similar tastes and causes.
As co-developer Rob Ehrlich puts it, "For users who are already on the pulse, Shadoobie will highlight you in all your innovator glory, giving you the opportunity to become your favorite brand's biggest fan, your favorite product's biggest advocate and your network's top user to turn to for fresh picks and never-thought-of-that new ideas."
About Shadoobie
Shadoobie is the latest achievement of father-son app development team Rob and Harry Ehrlich. It acts as a platform to immerse users and consumers into the heart of commerce, promising not only the allure of influence and trend-setting, but also a dynamic community of fashion fiends, beauty gurus, foodies, sports fans and other users all over the world buying and sharing things in real time.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Vamps It Up
Sarah Michelle Gellar Vamps It Up
There's more to Sarah than Buffy. She opens up about her short childhood, her bright future, and what it's really like to kiss a girl.
By Dennis Hensley
Special Offer
The Gellar Girls...
Gellar's journey to glam star started when she was just 4 years old. She was discovered in a Manhattan restaurant by a talent agent who thought she was cute. He first offers were for commercials, but in no she was cast in a TV movie called
An Invasion of Privacy
Supporting her every move was Gellar's mother, Rosellen, a teacher who raised her daughter in an apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side. "Everything I am is because of my mom," Gellar says of the woman who shuttled her between auditions, jobs, and school. Soon Gellar landed a steady roll on the popular day time soap,
All My Children
After finishing high school and amid rumors that she clashed with her TV mom, Susan Lucci, Gellar left
All My Children
to pursue bigger and better things in Hollywood. Surprisingly, even with a Daytime Emmy under her arm, casting directors were still skeptical of Gellar's ability to perform in primetime. "Up until the day I got
casting directors were still saying, 'Oh, she's not ready; she's too green' she's too soap." And while she had to jump through hopes to land the gig, it now seems impossible to imagine anyone else in the role. Fans will tell you that she's the perfect fit. "Buffy's very similar to me to me when I was growing up," Gellar says, "a child in an adult world, sort of trapped between the two. Does Buffy go to the prom or does she save the world from demons?"
Boob Jobs and Kissing Girlfriends...
Gellar's success on
has also been her ticket to movie roles. Her track record thus far is heavier on hits than misses, though she was brutally offed in both her '97 releases;
Scream 2
I Know What You Did Last Summer
. And while Gellar stays alive through the end of her roles in
Cruel Intensions,
a remake of
Dangerous Liasons
, she also manages to turn her good girl Buffy image on it's head with her devious portrayal of the over-privileged,under-supervised Manhattan socialite in the making, Kathyrn. Oh, yeahin the role, she also locks lips with her costar Selma Blair. "I kept thinking,
I have had to kiss guys that I don't want to kiss. At least Selma is a friend and I know where she's been,
laughs Gellar. "Afterward, Selma said, 'I was nervous that you would think I was a bad kisser.' I said, 'You weren't nervous about the kiss itself?' She said, 'No. I was just afraid you'd think I suck."
As for the Boys...
As for her offscreen love scenes, Gellar says that she is doing her share of dating, but isn't abot to settle down. "Hey, I'm 22 years old. This is my time to have fun." She explains that she's learned from watching role-model stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Sandra Bullock that it's better not to kiss and tell in Hollywood.

The Maroon fgxnvh VOL. 82, NO. 13 nhgf MAROON.LOYNO.EDU Athletic scholarships generate controversy Faculty express dismay at Byron's decision; basketball teams hopeful By Gene Guillot Sports Editor Exercising his presidential fiscal control over athletics, Interim University President the Rev. William Byron, S.J., has allocated six athletic scholarships to the basketball program for the 2004 -05 academic year. The six scholarships, which will pay for the athletes' full tuition, are divided equally between the women and men's teams. "We thought it was needed," Byron said. "They will improve the quality of basketball, and it's something the students wanted. Every team we play gives scholarships. We ought to do what we can to stay competitive." A presidential ad hoc committee has been formed to oversee the implementation of the scholarships and to decide whether to expand the scholarship program in the future. One detail to be worked out by the committee is whether the room and board of the scholarship athletes will be covered by the scholarships. Deborah Stieffel, Dean of Admissions, said that she will decide when the committee will meet for the first time. Peter Burns, political science assistant professor, will be the chairman. Byron said that he doesn't believe that the athletic scholarships will expand beyond this stage. Women's basketball coach Doßee Plaisance said that the academic prowess of the university would not decline due to these scholarships. "Athletes still have to meet Loyola admissions requirements," Plaisance said. "We will still be getting top students who will also be participating in athletics." Byron said that for recruits to receive the athletic scholarships, they must have a 3.0 grade point average in high school and a 24 on the ACT. Byron also said that the scholarships will help to "racially integrate the teams." Several members of the faculty expressed their disapproval at the University Senate meeting Jan. 15 that they were not consulted on such a major decision. STAFF PHOTO BY PAMELA HOWARD Interim University President the Rev. William Byron, S.J., addresses faculty members' concerns about athletic scholarships at a University Senate meeting in the library Thursday, Jan. 15. He said that the scholarships could help to racially integrate the basketball teams.

Campus changes surprise and annoy Fence prevents walking through Monroe quad; VPs get reserved parking By Naomi King Contributing writer On Jan. 12, Loyola students returned to class from winter break and found several surprising changes to the university's campus. One of the most apparent changes to the campus, according to students, has been the installation of a metal picket fence between Monroe and the old library. Caryn Winters, political science and communications studies senior, stated that the purpose of the fence is purely aesthetic: to keep students off the field and help the trampled grass grow back. However, some students are not happy about the change, especially those seen hopping the fence on the way to class. Some students also say they worry about being late for class or going around the fence in the rain. Others say they just don't think it has any visual appeal. Domestic partners denied benefits By Joe Rosemeyer News Editor Byron cites universitys Catholic affiliation in response to petitioners The university's benefits packages do not extend to same-sex partners, Interim University President the Rev. William Byron, S.J., said last Friday in response to an Internet-based petition that questioned such a stance. The petition started when Ecoee Rooney, a Loyola graduate student, requested that her female partner be given a student family membership to the Recreational Sports Complex. After the entire application process, Rooney's partner was denied the student family membership. Rooney eventually wrote an email message expressing her disappointment to Vice President of Student Affairs James Eiseman, and received a response that said Loyola only offers benefits to married couples "as defined by the Church and by the laws of the State of Louisiana." Another Jesuit institution, Loyola University of Chicago extends its benefits "He is an extremely respectable man who is doing what he feels is right. But he needs to realize that gay people aren't going anywhere." — NICK NEVARES, WORLD RELIGIONS SENIOR AND ETCETERA CO-PRESIDENT, on Interim University President the Rev. William Byron, S.J., and his decision not to extend Loyola's benefits packages to domestic partners. to same-sex partners, as does the City of New Orleans. When word of Rooney's situation reached Loyola graduate Richard Clayton he and English senior Stephanie Margherio, Loyola's Amnesty International secretary, worked together to develop a Web site through JustNewOrleans.com to petition administrators on Rooney's behalf. The petition says that "Loyola University New Orleans is currently imposing a discriminatory policy by only allowing membership in the Recreational Sports Complex to those domestic partners of members in the university community in heterosexual unions while denying membership to domestic partners of those in the university community in homosexual unions." Loyola's official policy on discrimination is that the school "has fully supported and fostered in its educational programs, admissions, employment practices and in the activities it operates the policy of not discriminating on the basis of age, color, disability, national origin, race, religion, sex/gender or sexual orientation."

Nov. 5, 2013 d45 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 65 AA player playing 60 AAA Softballnuts, if you are 65, and played down, I believe you will be fine to play on a 65 AA team in 2014. It's crossing over at the same age level that gets you in trouble. If you play with a team at 65 that was AAA, then you might affect your AA rating. Call George as crusher recommended. |
Nov. 4, 2013 d45 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 65 AA player playing 60 AAA I believe that once you go up to an AAA team, especially in the same age bracket, your status will be bumped up. Many players make the mistake of playing up a level in the same age group and now all of a sudden their rating status has changed. I have a player in which that happened to, and now he has the higher rating, thus affecting my recruiting future players. Remember, AA team can have 3 AAA players, AAA teams can have 3 major players, etc. etc. Be care you don't lock yourself into a level and thus effecting your status with your current team. Managers have a hard time with a player doing that. |
Oct. 17, 2013 d45 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Phoenix, Nov., 2013 Lawrence, how old are you, and what rating are you? AA, AAA, Major? Email me on the message board and we will go from there. If you want to call me, call 303-437-5340 My name is DuWayne |
July 22, 2013 d45 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Looking for a 65+ tournament team. Hi Ron. How old are you? Would you be interested in playing for a 65 tournament only team? We are the 65 Scrap Iron Classics. We won the Spring Worlds in Mesquite, Runner-up in Vegas, and going to Western Nationals. Last year won the Westerns. My name is DuWayne 303-437-5340. I have had 4 Ks. players in the past, presently have one on the roster. Call me if interested. Live in Aurora, Co., Denver, subburb. |
April 30, 2013 d45 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Congratulations to Git R Done 65's Congratulations Git R Done 65's for defeating us twice in the championship games. You did what you had to do. We are 1-1 in championships with one another. I am sure we will have more great battles with one another. We already have! You men are a class act and if our team had to lose to a team, your group would be the one to lose to. We will see you down the road. Your team is what makes senior softball so great to participate in. |
April 17, 2013 d45 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Tournament-Vegas Right, Olden Slow, can't play 2 games at once. Thanks for correcting that. See you in Vegas, and good luck. Thanks Dave for correcting that. Thanks Ed. Are you in Vegas with any bats? |
April 16, 2013 d45 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Tournament-Vegas On Tue. April 23, the 2nd game with Scrap Iron Classics and Git R Done says 3:30 p.m. The game before with Scrap Iron Classics vs. Yavapai Cantina says 3:30 p.m. as well. The 2nd game should start when? Both games can't start at the same time. Please respond SSUSA. Thank you. |
March 14, 2013 d45 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Bull Head City Tournament Ken, our team has gone to Bullhead/Laughlin for the last five years in a row and find the tournament to be a time of getting in reps and a sort of "spring training," if you will. I live in an area where you can't get out to practice because of the inclimate weather. The weather was absolutely beautiful this year in Bullhead/Laughlin. Our team did not play on the little league fields, so I definitely would understand your frustration. I think what has happened is the tournament is growing so rapidly every year that they are having to utiize every possible facility in Bullhead City. In my opinion, they could get all the teams on the two complexes if they would play back to back games, and later into the day, however, a better solution would be to play in Kingman like we did several years back, but I think Bullhead City is trying to keep the revenue pretty much right there in their city and the rec department. Our team goes there for one reason, to get ready for the Spring Worlds in Mesquite two weeks later. We also like the atmosphere of the area, and the beautiful warm weather that the area has. We accomplished the goal of why we went, and feel we are ready for Mesquite. I agree with SSUSA, write Ryan, tell him your frustrations and knowing Ryan like I do, he will discuss this with the City of Bullhead City rec dept. and take your complaints seriously. I have found him to be very professional to deal with. Lastly, it is a non-sanctioned tournament, so it really doesn't count for anything other than getting in "softball shape" and being ready for all of the SSUSA sanctioned tournaments. Everyone, win or lose, gets the same nice t-shirt, nothing more, nothing less. DuWayne Pillard |
March 11, 2013 d45 | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: 65 AA Colorado Tournament Travel Team looking for 2-3 Players Thanks Jon, but we are totally filled up on our roster for 2013. Thanks for your interest, but remember, if you are from Ca., you couldn't play with us because the state MUST touch Co. |
Feb. 26, 2013 d45 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Spring Worlds in Mesquite When you say the 2 larger fields, I don't know which ones you are refering to. I am talking about just the upper one at Pioneer Park. That is the only upper field there that is huge. Are you talking about a different park than me, although there are only 3 fields there. The two lower fields are softball size parks. You may be talking about the field over by the high school that they also have some teams play at. |
Feb. 25, 2013 d45 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Spring Worlds in Mesquite I doubt it, never have put fences up yet, and they always for the most part put AA teams up there. I complained because for the last two years or more we have been up there. Please SSUSA, rotate it, so that Major and Major + are up there too. They do let us play on the artificial fields. I like the two lower fields at the old park, hope we get to play there this year. |
Feb. 21, 2013 d45 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Bullhead City Tourney Yes we are, Tom. We have been visitng via e-mail. Yeah, it will be fun, let's hope we get to play on the field against each other. I wish you were playing with us! We have 9 new players, so we need the Bullhead tourney to get used to one another before Mesquite. |
Feb. 21, 2013 d45 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Spring Worlds in Mesquite Do you mean in March? |
Feb. 19, 2013 d45 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Mesquite Teams in March I love the smaller area atmosphere of Mesquite. St. Georgle does offer a good variety of eating places, and the Canyons Complex are nice fields, but Mesquite fields are good as well. Lastly, you can party more after the games in Mesquite!! |

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Illinois House of Representatives on Tuesday gave initial approval to the framework of a bill that would allow the concealed-carry of handguns.
The House voted 67-48 in favor of the main amendment, which would make Illinois a "shall issue" state where anyone meeting certain criteria would be granted a concealed-carry permit. The other option was a "may issue" law, where a local sheriff or government official would have authority to deny an application.
The bill, HB 1155, still would need final approval in the House. It also would have to be approved by the Senate and approved by the governor.
The passage of the main amendment, sponsored by Rep. Brandon Phelps, D-Harrisburg, followed about six hours of debate about proposals to ban the carrying of weapons at various places, such as schools and churches. Those proposals were covered by a dozen other amendments, nine of which were passed and three of which were voted down.
Pro-gun legislators argued the proposed restrictions, taken together, would effectively ban concealed-carry anywhere.
The House began debate on 27 separate amendments dealing with concealed carry in a process initiated by House Speaker Michael Madigan requiring debates on each separate topic.
But minority Republicans interrupted the schedule twice with lengthy private caucus meetings and stormy public protests about a procedure they claimed was controlled by anti-gun Chicago liberals. They complained the debate makes no sense when the state continues to face a $96 billion pension-system deficit and $9 billion in unpaid bills.
"People are watching this. They know Chicago is the murder capital of the world," said Forsyth Republican Bill Mitchell, adding, "you might have the majority, but you sure as hell can't lead."
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in December that Illinois' last-in-the-nation ban on carrying concealed weapons is unconstitutional and gave the Legislature until June to rectify it.
Phelps had introduced a comprehensive bill on the subject. But Madigan, a fellow Democrat from Chicago, identified an empty bill to be the gun legislation and offered lawmakers the chance to add the language through amendments. They filed 27, including competing provisions on whether the state would allow local police to decide who gets permits or requiring issuing permits to anyone who meets minimum qualifications.
Some of the 27 amendments were withdrawn and didn't get a vote. Nine amendments were passed that ban carrying guns in specific places such as schools, day cares, government buildings, casinos, hospitals, libraries and stadiums.
In many cases, they not only prohibit carrying in those facilities, but in parking lots and adjacent property -- meaning firearms can't be stored in cars while gun-owners go inside.
"You're spray-painting red circles around all these places and at the end of the day, the whole state is going to be red and you won't be able to carry a gun anywhere," Phelps said.
Rep. Dwight Kay, R-Glen Carbon, questioned several of the amendments' individual sponsors about the meaning of "adjacent to" and "nearby" in their amendments. Concealed-carry supporters argued that those terms, in the various amendments, were vague and would create confusion about where a person could carry a gun.
Kay asked one of the amendment sponsors, Rep. Deborah Mell, D-Chicago, about the Bill of Rights' guarantee that citizens may keep and bear arms. Mell replied: "I support the language in the Second Amendment, but I feel it is necessary to put in regulations for the public safety."
Mell sponsored an amendment to prohibit guns on public transit.
Kay asked Mell if she'd feel safer having a gun if an attacker confronted her, or if she'd prefer having to rely on "talking him down."
"What I'd like is trained police officers to take that role, and not armed citizens," Mell said.
Democrats booed and shouted "No!" when Rep. Jim Sacia suggested imposing gun limits across Illinois because of Chicago's homicide problem would be like forcing statewide castration because the city was having "too many kids."
"That was an analogy to show how silly this is," said Sacia, R-Pecatonica, adding that he introduced a bill allowing armed teachers with consent form the local school district. "You bet I used Chicago as an example because you're the folks that want this craziness."
The Madigan procedure, requiring votes on specific issues, allows anti-gun Democrats to record "no" votes on individual provisions even though they might be forced to vote for a final bill in response to the court ruling. It also means Republicans will be on record as opposing what liberals might term "common sense" gun restrictions, such as banning them from schools.
"We're going to play the game. You'll say that we all want violence in schools, which is nonsense," said Rep. Dennis Reboletti, an Elmhurst Republican. "We're the laughingstock of the nation."
Rep. Jerry Costello II, D-Smithton, asked Rep. Ann Williams, D-Chicago, about her amendment, which would have prohibited carrying at places that serve alcohol.
"Have you ever heard of a meat shoot?" Costello asked.
"Thankfully not," Williams replied.
Costello explained that a meat shoot is typically a fundraiser for a worthy cause, where shotguns are fired at targets as a game where meat can be won. Alcohol sometimes is served. Costello said he feared the amendment could outlaw such events.
Williams said a subsequent amendment could possibly be passed, giving local authorities the power to allow such events. Her amendment failed.

Alexander Calder Fetching High Prices At Auction
It looks very simple but the simple mobile by Alexander Calder shown above sold for a sky-high 2.3 million euros in Paris on May 31 at Artcurial's evening sale of contemporary art. The piece is named Pour Vilar and dates from the early 1950s. Calder made the piece for the French actor Jean Vilar, showing up at his home with the mobile wrapped in newspaper. He proceeded to set up the mobile in the actor's home. The piece was sold to a Swiss collector and had a pre-sale estimate of €500,000-€800,000. It set a record for the artist in France. Calder is a hot property lately. The Art Newspaper reports that a similar mobile Untitled (Autumn Leaves), sold earlier this May at Sotheby's New York for $3.7 million. Calder's spare style appears to resonate with younger collectors whose tastes are more minimalist.

Black Diamond Alpine Bod Harness

Light, Fast, Great Mountaineering Choice
Scott Scooter Sowle
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
When you have a love for mountaineering you'll most likely find this harness in your bag. Yea, there is no padding but you'll not be setting much on the side of a mountain in this. It's fast to slip into with no need to take off your skis, boots or crampons.
I've been using this harness for a few years and there's many more left. Picking up another just to have for friends who are without gear.
would you recommend the bod for rappelli...
Lewis Sargent
Member since
would you recommend the bod for rappelling?
Dan Gates
Member since
yes, this harness would work well for rappelling. However it is intended as a lightweight harness for mountaineering so it's pretty bare bones. There is no padding.
Does the job
Laurel Nelson
Member since
This is my harness that I use for glacier travel and splitboard mountaineering. It is fairly light, inexpensive, and is super easy to get in and out of with your gear on. The sizing is pretty consistent with the size chart but that size chart is more based off of a boyish figure in my opinion. I would say if you have a feminine figure and are on the cusp between two sizes to go with the larger one.
The classic alpine harness
Member since
I have used this harness so many times in so many different situations and it has never let me down. However, since I now use it exclusively for ski mountaineering, I replaced it for the Black Diamond Couloir Harness.
Member since
Joshua, I am wondering how you would rate the couloir harness against this Alpine Bod Harness now that you have both. I have been considering the couloir and almost purchased it but pulled back at the last moment wondering if it is as user friendly as the Bod. It occurred to me that the Belay loop on the couloir poses a bit of a dilemma when you want to add or subtract a pant layer and might require that you take the harness off completely to do so, which would require that you also remove your ski's or crampons. I would love to get your (or anyone else's) feedback on that. Thanks in advance.
Is tri axial loading the carabiner an issue...
Sam G
Member since
Is tri axial loading the carabiner an issue with this harness? I feel like the lack of a belay loop encourages this and I am concerned about the safety aspect.
Pat Palmer
Member since
Yes, and for that reason, many gyms won't let you use it. This harness is designed for tying into directly, and not intended for multiple falls and prolonged loading. It's more suited to ski mountaineering and other light uses where you're not likely to take a full factor fall.
If you're looking for an inexpensive harness with a belay loop, look at the BD Momentum AL. I've had mine a little over a year and I love it. Very comfortable and safe.
Easy and Light
Scott Angus
Member since
This harness is perfect for alpine climbing. Easy to put on and remove. It packs fairly small due to its simple construction and is light to carry. Even though it doesn't have any padding it is actually comfortable to wear. I would recommend this for any mountaineer.
Simple. Light.
Sterling Watson

I got this harness for alpine climbing and just light weight endevours. It works perfectly for that. No frills, no padding, just simple webbing with some gear loops...its all ya need!! I recommend this to everyone.
Actually pretty comfy
Andrew Wike
Member since
Bought this puppy for do it all duty and it has not disappointed. I use it primarily for ski mountaineering and alpine climbing. Plenty of gear loops to hold your rack and solid feeling buckles and straps to add security. I've even used it for sport climbing. I think it's pretty comfortable, but maybe I don't know what I'm missing with a nice padded harness.

Brett Clatt

Bought a couple of these for my son and I to do the via ferrata down in Telluride and used them on the glaciers of Mt. Rainier. Packs light and small.
Good for what it is, NOT A SPORT HARNESS
Mike Haines
Member since
I bought mine several years ago for use in adventure races (carry it in a pack all day, put it on for one rappel, put it back in the pack). This would be an ideal use, along with mountaineering where you need to rope up but don't expect to fall or weight the rope often. For these types of activities it's perfect as it's light weight, packable, and goes on and off quickly.
For the beginner out there, please keep in mind that this is NOT comfortable to sport climb or toprope, and lots of gyms won't be comfortable with you using it there (they may even have a policy against any harness lacking a belay loop). For a more general purpose inexpensive harness, see Black Diamond Momentum AL.
Good harness to have

Very easy to put on. Not to heavy and packs well. Not the harness you want to me hanging in for a long time though. So if you plan to be hanging a lot - find another one. Great for glacier travelling or ski mountaineering because of how easy it is to put on.

What are the waist sizes that go w?ith the XS, S, M. L. XL, etc provided in the options for orders

I have a 34" waist but the Medium was definitely the best fit, the sizing chart is close but may be best to try one before you order if you are at the cusp.

Thsi is an old design that has been around awhile. There are lighter harnesses that are easier to use for the same customer now. Still few harnesses at this price point.
I'm glad I have it.

I'd never wear this harness myself, but I'm always glad I have it in my kit. I use this to get new climbers comfortable with putting on their own gear (it's pretty idiot-proof, easy to put on, and all the attachment points are easy to see) and for top-roping.
Happy trails!
Simple design, simply uncomfortable
Nick Stadie
Member since
It does the job it was designed for: simple, cheap, lightweight harness (although there are much lighter harnesses now that have a more modern design) for general mountaineering and especially while wearing skis and crampons (since you can take it on and off with ease). Good right?
Well, as a guy, let's just say it isn't the most comfortable harness I have ever used. I get an instant surge of pain when I put my weight on this harness, no matter how I fit it! Since it was my first one, I didn't even realize that it was uncomfortable until I tried a modern style padded harness and immediately felt the difference. No wincing anymore!
It is now my lender...

If you are spending more time going vertical, you might want a different harness. For non-vertical glacial travel this rocks. Light and simple, the way BD markets it. Fits well over layers.
pretty good
Will Guru
Member since
This harness is pretty good. it is lightweight and simple. it is easy to take on and off. it doesn't have may gear loops or a belay loop but this makes it easier to take on and off.
Best Harness Ever!
Member since
I've been using this harness for years for indoor and outdoor rock climbing and mountaineering. I've tried others but keep coming back! I find it plenty comfortable for a day of climbing and I like this style better than the full leg loops which I always fidget with and never quite feel right. I also LOVE that it's easy to put on while keeping both feet on the ground - way important when you're perched on an icy slope trying to get your harness on - and it's fast to adjust for different layers. I have a 24" waist and small hips and the XS fits well. I find that many other brands don't go small enough to make me feel secure when I'm just in one layer. Great harness!
great for ski/snowboard mountaineering
Member since
I wore this harness for a week in AK while heil-boarding glaciated terrain. It is super light and adjustable so I didn't even feel like I had a harness on while riding. The leg clips make it easy to get in and out of in my snowboard gear. I haven't actually used this for climbing/mountaineering yet but it seems as though it will perform as well as my indoor harness. Since I wear snowboard gear with it I'm not worried about the harness being less padded than others. As others have stated, don't forget an extra carabiner or webbing to use as a belay loop. I'm female, 5'4", 135 and got a medium, which is almost too big with layers for me but it works.

hole in my head, bubbles in my brain
I've had to confront the fact that I've lost my drive to be in the studio all the time, and I'm thinking about other things to do with my life. This means I've cut down my studio work to 4 hours a day, where I am mostly focused on custom and creative work, and Nikki takes care of production work and a lot of other stuff that I don't want to deal with anymore. Basically, anything that doesn't have to get done by me, the smallest things, now get done by her. The rest of the day I'm working on my writing. And doing other things. The great thing about working on writing is that anything you do can be something that can contribute to you being a better writer, so I can justify just about anything I feel like doing
So it's great, but still, it's change. And a lot of shit has been bugging me. Like, sales are just slow right now. I go through periods of hyperactive sales and then, no sales for days. Days! It freaks me out and makes me angry. Actually, it makes me sad. I'm trying to pay more attention to how I actually feel. I often insert "angry" for every slightly negative feeling because at least then I can feel powerful. I mean, people get scared when I'm angry. Not so much when I'm sad. Then I'm just pathetic and people pat me on the back to make me feel better. And it does make me feel better, to get patted on the back and told, "It's going to be okay." That's what everyone says.
I've been coping with the fear in my meditation practice rather than screaming at my husband and stupid drivers on the road, which everyone appreciates. The thing about sitting in meditation and just breathing is that while you try to empty your mind, shit is constantly bubbling up. The comic Bobby Lee actually said in an interview that when he meditates, he views all his thoughts as bubbles and he just pops them and gets back to meditating. Until he has to pop another bubble, which he inevitably will throughout his meditation.
So I keep having this fear about my slow-ass sales bubble up, and I acknowledge the fear and accept it, and then I pop it. 10 seconds later the same thought comes up and I have to go through the whole fucking thing again. And again. And again. Really, it's annoying. I'm like, "Yeah, I know I have fear, I have insecurity, and I can let it go and be in the moment instead of freaking out. Do you think you could back off now??!!" There's the anger again. Two more steps back from enlightenment.
Before all of you supportive and wonderful people who read my blog rush forward to give me the virtual pat on the back-- which should be it's own word in the dictionary-- I should mention in some ways work is really great. I have a big project in the pipleline with a major retailer, and I'm sending off a big fat order to my first store in Paris. And I'm going to Paris in a couple of months and then heading down to the south of France for a ceramic residency for four weeks. So even though I may act pathetic every once in a while, don't feel sorry pour moi. And my suggestion for a word describing a virtual pat on the back is e-pathy. Got a better one?

Meditation's job is to bring up all our stuff, so the minute you notice it, just shift back into meditation, focusing on mantra,etc. Judging the chita (noise that comes up) takes you out of meditation, but just being aware of of the intruder and gently going back to meditation, keeps you in meditation.

I love that you are about 2 years ahead of me in a similar feeling business :P
Right now we have the same sales pendulum, so the slow sales anxiety, but never the break that used to come with slow periods because when sales come in it's dramatic and puts us behind.
I vowed to myself that by the time I've sewn a million dollars worth of clothes I'll be ready to pass that job on able to manage a team. Reasonably far off in the future, but not so far off I can't see it coming.
Just want to thank you for pointing out that that day will come and I won't necessarily find it 100% satisfying :P
But, that's why we do what we do right? Because I'm never satisfied with my wardrobe I am driven do this work. But I'll never get to where I want to be.

I have found that reality is rarely satisfying. And if it is satisfying that feeling only lasts for a short while before the urge to strive on to the next thing takes over. Maybe that's just a bad habit. As I've gotten older I've started to recognize this pattern, and I'm trying to put more thought into what keeps me moving, as well as pausing to savor the moment, even the mundane ones.

ORCHARD PARK (WKBW) It happened around noon Friday, when residents in a wide area of Southern Erie County started smelling what many thought was natural gas in the air, even though it turned out to be a false alarm.
National Fuel says work was completed at their East Aurora location that released an odorant into the air. This is the chemical that gives the colorless and odorless natural gas it's smell. So when the air in the surrounding towns started smelling like gas, there was widespread concern.
At Orchard Park Pediatrics, the entire office along with a neighboring bank were evacuated due to the smell and the fear of an explosion.
"For quite a while we were out in the cold, the patients were out in the cold, and we were scared. With all the stuff on the news with the gas leaks and explosions and things like that, we were very concerned for our patients and for ourselves. Luckily nothing happened, other than everybody got a little bit of cold," Dr. Kathleen Dyson said.
The Erie County Sheriff's Office says the odorant chemical is called mercaptan, and is non toxic and harmless.
National Fuel released this statement in regards to the smell of gas:
National Fuel is advising residents in East Aurora, Orchard Park, Hamburg, and Elma that work completed earlier today at an National Fuel service station in East Aurora released an odorant, similar to the smell of rotten eggs, and there is not a natural gas emergency. After extensive investigation, it was determined that there are no gas leaks but the prominent smell does remains in the area and due to prevailing winds, the smell has carried for miles from the original location.
For customer protection, National Fuel adds an odorant to give natural gas a distinctive smell so leaks can be more readily detected. Residents can be assured that there is not a natural gas situation in their neighborhood.
For area residents concerned about a legitimate gas leak, please contact National Fuel's emergency hotline at 1-800-444-3130.
National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation is a regulated utility and is one of the subsidiaries in the National Fuel Gas Company system. The utility provides natural gas service to approximately 725,000 customers in western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania.
