Clemson hopes defensive line is in good hands with Goodman
CLEMSON Malliciah Goodman is a physical marvel. He possesses massive 11½-inch hands measured from thumb to pinky requiring XXXXL gloves. He is a sculpted 6-4, 270 pounds. He has the wingspan of a power forward.
He is what a prototype NFL defensive end looks like.
The problem is that as Goodman enters his senior season, his on-field production has yet to match his physical gifts. And as Clemson loses its top three sack artists from last season, including the ACC-best 10½ sacks from Andre Branch, Clemson desperately needs Goodman to increase his production at one of the thinnest positions on the roster.
In three years, Goodman has played 1,349 snaps and has recorded just five sacks. That is a sack once every 269 plays.
In those 1,349 plays, Goodman has also recorded few impact plays against the run just 12 tackles for loss in his career.
And as a junior, Goodman recorded just two sacks and four tackles for loss in 700 snaps.
On a team with just three returning defensive ends, it is the position of greatest concern to coach Dabo Swinney, the greatest concern to a defense that allowed nine touchdowns to West Virginia in its last game. Clemson needs impact players on the edge, especially in a league returning 11 starting quarterbacks and five QBs who finished in the top 50 nationally last season in passer efficiency.
Hes got to take it to another level, Swinney said. Hes been a good player. Hes been a productive player but he hasnt been a great player yet, and neither had Branch and neither had DaQuan (Bowers) ... so thats the challenge to Malliciah.
Swinney even expressed some mild concern of Goodmans temperament. Swinney wants to see more of a nasty disposition.
Coaches say it often takes ends longer to develop than other defensive positions. Since ends play on the line of scrimmage, it requires great physical strength in addition to refining pass-rushing moves and learning to anticipate snap counts. There is a reason South Carolina-born All-Americans like Bowers and Courtney Brown were not able to record a double-digit sack season until their junior years.
Clemson defensive ends coach Marion Hobby believes Goodman made strides last year. While his sack total remained low, he had 14 quarterback hits, doubling the total of his first two years. Hobby said Goodman needs to take advantage of opportunities.
He missed more than he made last season, Hobby said. I had to embarrass him a little bit. He had his opportunities to get guys on the ground and he missed them. He was a first-year starter and sometimes that quarterback looks so pretty standing back there in the pocket, so easy to get him and just one step and hes out of your way. Sacks arent easy. Hes going to have his chances.
Goodman knows sacks can make defensive ends like Branch and Bowers rich in the NFL. Goodman wants more and thinks he could have had 10 last year.
There are plays that I could have made that I didnt, Goodman said. I have to try to take advantage of those and be perfect. Opportunities are there. I just have to execute.

BRC Best Practice Guideline: Traceability (German Translation) - Issue 2
Print Version
- Author:
- British Retail Consortium (BRC)
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
Traceability requirements are linked to legislative demands in that any product placed on the market shall be fit for purpose and not injurious to health and allows identification of products if they require withdrawal from sale.
A comprehensive traceability system is required to ensure problems within the manufacturing process can be effectively identified and adequately managed, through trace back to the source of the problem as well as forward tracing to effect withdrawal of the product from the marketplace. These guidelines promote best practice for an effective traceability system.
This guideline provides a framework for users to:
Understand the requirements for traceability
Understand the principles for implementing an effective traceability system
Understand how to undertake a traceability test
Identify ways to improve the traceability system
Locate sources of further information in developing traceability technology.

Crews will replace a damaged culvert beneath I-405 in Renton. View project map. View storm damage and repair photos
OverviewOn Dec. 3, 2007, heavy rainfall overwhelmed the culvert that carried Thunder Hills Creek beneath I-405 in Renton. The resulting rush of water created a sinkhole beneath the road surface, resulting in a collapse of a section of the culvert and threatening the stability of this section of the freeway. Crews made temporary repairs to fix the sinkhole and diverted water away from the culvert while they designed a replacement plan for the culvert to prevent significant damage to I-405 in the next storm. In late March 2008 crews began work to install a new culvert underneath I-405. We originally expected to complete culvert installation by the end of July, but ran into problems with the tunnel boring machine. Crews resumed tunneling and culvert installation in October and the creek was running through the new culvert by the end of October.
Partnerships & Cooperation Crews began repairs on Dec. 13, 2007. On Dec. 23 they completed the temporary pump and pipe system that diverts Thunder Hills Creek around I-405. In March 2008 we awarded the contract to Tri-State Construction. Replacement work began in June. In July the project was delayed by problems with the tunnel boring machine and we halted work to develop a plan to recover the machine by tunnelling from the east side of I-405. Tunnelling resumed in October and the creek was running through the new culvert by the end of October. Crews spent the first weeks of November removing the diversion system and restoring roadway barrier.At WSDOT we seek to address the concerns of the tribal nations using the process outlined in Section 106 of The National Historic Preservation Act and the WSDOT Tribal Consultation Policy adopted in 2003 by the Transportation Commission as part of the WSDOT Centennial Accord Plan.

Great speech from a US soldier:http://www.youtube.com/v/K-CpCUOygqU&
I'm liking this Refo-fella. Wanna adopt?
"The vast majority of people living in the US have nothing to gain from this occupation".
Really? What's simplistic about this?
Those points can be made without distorting history to make our role in the war seem worse than it actually was, and I think doing so is counter-productive.
America invaded the happy country of Iraq because its ruling class wanted to expand its wealth. It was only able to do this because it brainwashed its armed forces into becoming deeply racist. The racist American soldiers in Iraq are killing civilians with impunity and wreaking untold destruction on the country. They are worse than Saddam, and they are the "real terrorists" (as opposed to the "unreal" ones of Al-Qaida and Mahdi army, presumably). No one else is doing any killing. Only the Americans. All wars fought by Americans - against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, as against the Ba'ath regime in Iraq - are the result of this racism and all are about the pursuit of private profit and raw materials for the ruling class. The Americans should leave as soon as possible so that Iraq can go back to being a happy land. Was there any more to it than that?
Er, yes. I agree some of it was a little over the top but the only bit I quoted was this......and it's undeniable.The occupation of Iraq has gone on so long, it's almost been legitimised. It was never legitimate and it had fuck all to do with the interests of the American people.
Now that may have been a hopelessly naive project.
But it was never going to be a project that put pennies into the bank accounts of ordinary Americans (just as the belated NATO removal of the brute Milosevic never made me any wealthier). Would it have been a more justifiable war - oh, go on, 'occupation' - if ordinary Americans had made some money out of it?
It's worth remembering in all this that there were millions of Americans who didn't want to go to war in 1941. Who believed they had "nothing to gain" from the "occupation" of Germany. You can see their point of view. Nazi Germany was so far away and it had nothing to do with them.
(I thought they had WMDs at the time too, and my guess is so did the government, though in hindsight they were wrong).
I mean we established a democracy there eventually. Its not perfect, but its not subjugation.
Hindsight? A blind man could've seen at the time, that documents were being "sexed up". Hans Blix must've been mute maybe, but sitting here in Europe, I could hear him and his independent weapons inspectors, loud and clear (when I listened loud enough). I don't know what your preferences are when it comes to getting your opinions from the media, but you, (as a nation) were sold down the river by your government. How's that war on terror going in Afghanistan by the way? Found the big tall bearded lad yet?EDIT: Looking back at it now, and seeing Colin Powels face on the telly, it didn't take a profiler to see the disingenuousness on his face.
Now, im no historian by any stretch of the imagination, So anyone that knows better should tell me with a view on history and current affairs, why the west continues to interfere with the middle east.
I'm concerned for you, Yorky. Perhaps some Solpadeine and a nap, you'll feel much better.
Look I disagree with the Iraq war as much as the next man, but the ideas that America went in to Iraq solely to control a market, pretty tenuous imo. The way I see it there were 3 reasons why we went, and only one of them was the one he mentions, the business interest idea. The other 2 are as follows: neo-cons and their idea of bringing democracy to a terrible dictatorship, and Bush's desire to get rid of a thorn in his and his daddy's side (I thought they had WMDs at the time too, and my guess is so did the government, though in hindsight they were wrong).
A pizza has more than one slice.First and foremost, it was about 9/11, and the snuffing out of threats. Some hawks in the US Administration wanted to send a clear message to would-be antagonists that the US would not hesitate to use force *without provocation*, better known as pre-preemptive action. George W Bush himself was perhaps the biggest proponent of this line of thought. Secondly, it was about WMD. Quite a few folks were scared of the possibility of the next 9/11 having chemical or biological weapons on board, and others were talking about the "mushroom cloud" in the form of a suitcase bomb. Whether or not Saddam had them was a moot point - these folks had already convinced themselves that he did, and neither hell nor high water could convince them that the UN inspection teams could come back with a trustworthy analysis that pointed negative. Condoleeza Rice was perhaps the biggest proponent of this line of thought.Thirdly, there were those who saw a link between Iraq, 9/11, and Al Qaeda. However fanciful (or even untruthful) this may have been, certain folks harped on about meetings between Iraq's intelligence services and Al Qaeda operatives. Dick Cheney, who was perhaps the most famous proponent of this line of thought, borderline blamed Iraq for 9/11. Fourthly, there were those who wanted to test a new military in action, by ripping up old plans and implementing "transformation", which really could be broken down into fast, mobile Special Forces as opposed to large number of boots on the ground. Iraq was to be a staging ground for Rumsfeld's theories, who was quite annoyed personally at the role that the CIA played in the Afghan theatre. This was a new type of war, they said, and it needed a new kind of military. It also needed a target.Fifth, there were those who saw Iraq as a low hanging fruit, and who, through their contacts with Iraqi expatriate rebels (read: Chalabi), were convinced that they would be showered with rice as the first troops entered the country. Buoyed by such rosy expectations, they pushed for a war they thought would be over in 3-6 months, and would prove that everyone accepted the American version of Freedom from Above, transforming the Middle East, and causing a domino effect of regime change from within. Richard Perle was perhaps the biggest propoent of this line of thinking. Sixth, there were influential neoconservative hawks, such as Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and Richard Perle, who put the importance of America's engagement in war below their political ideologies, and one could make a case for them thinking about Israel's safety more than America's own. Funny enough, that traitor from Connecticut, Joseph Lieberman, also ended up on Israel's side in a war between Iraq and the US. We should not underestimate their ability to push America into a war that Congress had already "authorized" under a different guise.
By calling it a war, you're distorting history too. It was an illegal invasion and occupation.
And this is a huge problem too, who gave anyone the right to go and create a country thats not ones own land, and then for others to occupy it, and/or create/maintain/control a democracy there again and again and again. The ongoing foreign interference in the middle east on goes back centuries, and why do we (we as in west) do it? if we looked back 200 years or so, and listed the reasons for invasion and occupation, do the governments and militaries that be have the same reasons all the time, or is there a new list of reasons why we are pissed off enough to go to war each time?
This just leaps out, really. "Naive". That's like saying Germany invading Austria and Poland for more living space was "misguided" (Hell, you started the WWII comparisons). Next thing you'll be telling us Dick Cheney is an altruist at heart.
Yorky, you must be hungover because that's the biggest straw man I've seen in a while.....
It's time for sensible people like you Corky to get over the easy Michael Moore mantras and to think about some of the difficult issues thrown up by Iraq (leave the dishonest sloganeering to the dullards). We, including the UN, are bound to face similar calls in future to intervene in countries where innocent people are being massacred by their governments. It would be a pity if the difficult debate about what to do was terminated by someone shouting "Cheney!"
Isn't it up to states to solve their own problems? In the history of every country in the world, bar none, with no exceptions, there exists a chapter of poor governance, of leaders squeezing their own people for their own advantage. In many of these countries, internal revolts have not only deposed those leaders, but also made the concept of freedom dear to themselves for generations. A UN-sanctioned invasion wasn't needed to overthrow Ceausescu. Slavery wasn't abolished through invasion of the United States. An altruistic Deck Cheney didn't overthrow the brutal Shah, even though it could be argued a Cheney put him there in the first place.If, as you suggest, we have a moral obligation to "save" these people from their own leaders, by sending our sons to die for them, paying from our own wallets, shouldn't we also then pay for their cancer treatment, for their unemployment benefits, for their education? Where do you draw the line?
I might have been duped. I was very young. It was just like, we know he had weapons at some point, we know he's a real c*nt, you'd think he'd have had the time to build many more. It seemed logical that he had WMDs, but not that he was a real danger to us, which takes that argument away. El C has a real detailed set of reasons why we went in posted above. Read that, its better than any summary I can do.
I have read it, and it's an excellent summary. It has little to do with the point I was making however. The reasons for occupation are not the crux of my arguement. You say that "It seemed logical that he had WMDs". Is that why your military and the "Coalition of the Willing" went in? Because it seemed logical? Even though your government was being told over and over, on an ongoing basis, by an independent UN body that there was NO weapons of significance? No smoking gun however but still you went in, and that in my eyes makes it illegal. In fact, it's not that the smoking gun wasn't found. You were told it WASN'T there! The people of your country were LIED to by the hawks in charge at the time and that can only make this war morally corrupt. Building links between Saddam Hussein and 9/11?! C'mon! Satellite pictures of major arms dumps which had weapons with inter-continental ballistic capabilities? They weren't found by Hans and the lads though. Strange that! The biggest day of mass street protest the world has ever seen. Still, Dick and Condaleeza and the rest were having that war no matter what.
Fair enough. That wasn't me with the Hitler/'lebensraum' stuff by the way. I do see that a lot of big business (and American politics at the time), had/has much to profit from it though.
but you see it (was it you or corky, ahh nevermind) as the equivalent of Hitler invading Poland for more living space.
I did and yet I didn't. I described it as misguided as a deliberately absurd counterpoint to Yorky's characterisation of the Iraq invasion as naive.
And by extension compared the two, unless 'naive' and 'misguided' are supposed to carry incredibly different connotations.
as for your rules, they are fair I think, but it still doesn't excuse the speaker in the video, talking about how America has 'subjugated' the Iraqi people etc, from being labeled simplistic.
I compared two pairs, each having their own relationship. Go back and read it again.
Again, there's nothing simplistic about that. Literalistic, maybe, because subjugated is what they were.I honestly think many of you have become inured to Iraq. Bit by bit, you all forgot the lies or more likely, you grew tired of hearing the same hectoring liberal wails against the lies. Do you not remember how this started? The theme that the Bush admin went with was flat out misrepresentation. They made it like Iraq was a natural consequence of 9/11 when it had fuck all to with it. They lied in order to invade another country. You can luxuriate in your pizza slices and layered cultural influences and geopolitics and sneer at how simplistic my views are all you want but that's the straight truth. What their real motives were is irrelevant for these purposes. Once they told the Big Lie, anything that came after was rotten to the core.I know wars are complicated, invasions often more so but if you have to lie to your own people in order to get them to die in another country, you're past redemption. I think it was the most appalling betrayal of a nation by its supposedly accountable government, and the fact that it was America, the Land of the Free, makes it even more disgusting.As you can see, I'm not quite over it.

creosote remover
I have tried other products from other stores with minimal results. I thought I would give this product a try. After the 3rd treatment I saw a brownish powder coating the surface that was easily brushed away. It works as advertised.

Great product....and east to use.
I had wanted to get this for a while but was not sure if it was the right thing. After reading other reviews, and personal experience, I know I made a good purchase...and will buy it again.

Reviewer: Garth
Great value
I had purchased this product from my local hardware store last heating season and our chimney sweep told us our flue was very clean and to keep doing what I was doing. He was surprised when I told him it was the toss-in sticks. The wood I burn is always the same. This was the only change, and it made a big difference. The price from Northline Express is the best I have found.

Ease of Use
I have just started using this product, so I don't really know how good or bad it is, as of yet. It is really easy to use though and I will continue to use it if it lives up to the advertising provided by the company.

We have used this product for years. Recently the local Fire Inspector checked our chimney mid season and stated he had never seen a chimney as free of creosote as ours. I told him that we use Toss-in Creosote remover. He was shocked and went right out and purchased some for his two chimneys. Great stuff!!!!

Reviewer: Ruth Bratton
This is the only product of this type we've ever used, but it seems effective. I bought a box mid-season last year because by January we had already had to clean chimney and wood stove. We used them per instructions for the rest of the winter. This year when my husband cleaned the chimney it was not nearly as dirty as normal. I bought another box this year and hope to get through the whole winter.

Does an excellent job of removing creosote buildup from the chimney pipe from our wood stove. I am very pleased with the removal it does of the creosote.

Reviewer: Steven
I've been using two a week for the last month, and as far as I can tell, there has been little or no creosote build up than that was already there. It is still too soon to tell, but I'm satisfied with the product so far. I also was happy with the discounted price when buying in bulk.

Works GREAT!!!! Have had a hard time finding it until we did a search on the internet and found it through Northline. Really glad to be able to find it at Northline.

Reviewer: John Grunow Sr.
Does a great job. Turns the creosote into a crumbly substance and makes it real easy to scrape off. Does this in the wood stove and the chimney too. Very good product!
Posted: 4/6/08
I couldn't find any type of creosote remover anywhere here Lowes, Home Depot, etc. So I will always buy mine from you guys. You are in my favorites. Thanks also on the fast shipping.

You'll find comfort and support well suited to day hiking and short-haul overnight trips in the Lowa Renegade Mid GTX Hiking Boots for men. These boots are more than basic lightweight hikers; they are rugged for cross-country wear and flexible for efficient hiking.
The full nubuck leather uppers deliver exceptional durability, while the integrated waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex lining manages moisture from the inside-out. The perforated climate control footbeds enhance moisture management, cushioning feet and preventing blisters. Overall boot weight is low thanks to Lowa's polyurethane Monowrap Frame -- it adds the lateral ankle support that sets these boots apart from lighter duty boots without adding undue weight or bulk. Additional stability comes from the full-length, anatomical nylon shank and tough Vibram outsoles. The low-cut back fosters a good stride and reduces cuff friction.
Ready to tackle rugged terrain and support the load of an overnight pack, grab the Lowa Renegade Mid Gore-Tex Boots and start planning your weekend getaway.
Very good overall
July 18, 2011
Have used on several car-camping day hikes; performed excellently: very comfortable and light enough for a day hike. Provide very good ankle support for day hike although I am not sure if it would be sufficient for backpacking with weight over 35 to 40 lbs - may want to go with a heavier boot. Otherwise, packing these boots may, for some who desire the option, eliminate the need for camp shoes.
Pros: comfortAlready own the LOWA Renegade Mid GTX Hiking Boot? Tell us your thoughts.
Great website and customer service
October 02, 2012
I have bought these before and love the product. They are extremely rugged and durable. They are waterproof and keep your feet very warm in cold temperatures.
Pros: great durability, Cons: very expensiveGreat Construction
December 18, 2011
These boots are obviously really well made, and they are quite comfortable. I haven't had the chance to take them on a long haul yet, but I can tell by the fit that they will go the distance. They feel great through the arch and in the toe box, and they give great ankle support.
First boot that fits in 66 years
February 18, 2013
I purchased Lowa Renegades for the first time late last year. I have a very high instep and it is hard for me to find shoes that fit well. These are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. With my high instep I always need to purchase additional gel insoles to reduce impact on my brittle feet. With the Renegades I can use the insoles that come with the boot. This saves me a little money, which I need since the boots are above my comfort level in pricing. The remarkable thing about the Renegade Boots is that my wife wears the woman's renegade and finds them comfortable also. She has flatter feet and pronates mildly. Yet she wears the Renegade without additional insoles also. We are opposite foot types but still find the same boot to be a perfect fit. This has never happened. This may be obvious to most, but GTX stands for Goretex. Lowa also makes a Renegade LL which stands for leather lined. The leather ones are supposed to breathe better for those in hot dry climate as myself. Sizing and structure: I am 155 lbs 5'9". I normally wear a 9 or 9.5 in boots. I wear a 9 Wide in Lowa. I do light to moderate hiking usually carrying a camera bag 20 lbs or less. Mostly on rocky, sandy areas in the Southwest. The Renegades are considered level 4 boots on the Lowa scale. I translate this to mean light hiking boots. However the soles of the Renegades are stiffer than most "casual" hiking boots, more like backpacking boots. Great for rocky terrain. But if you carry a heavy pack or are on the heavier side yourself you might want to upgrade to a Lowa level 3 boot.
Pros: great fit, Cons: no ventilated version availableApril 27, 2012
First of all: this boots are worth every single dime. Got them and out of the box I went on a 6 hours hike. No need to break in, comfortable and light paired with high end quality. I'm not sure this boots are actually built in Bavaria, Germany but the workmanship is simply excellent. Have another boot from Lowa now more than 12 years and when the stability is the same with this one I'm a real happy camper.
September 06, 2012
My first purchase with Altrec was for these boots, and I'm very pleased with the entire transaction. The boots were a little snug when I first put them on, but they stretched out nicely after wearing them for about an hour. They're extremely comfortable, great looking, light and I highly recommend them.
Pros: comfort out of the box, great looking, light, Cons: noneI'm Narrow Minded
December 07, 2010
I have a narrow foot and I found this to be an outstanding boot for my foot. Nothing fits perfect for me, but the Lowa Rengade Mid GTX was the best solution. I have heel that is an A width, so the boot does not fit as snug there as on the mid-part of my foot. Frankly, there are not enough choices out there for narrow feet. Unfortunately for me, I also have very long toes. I had to get the 15 after first ordering the 14. I wear a 14B running shoe, but the larger size was necessary for the boot. I have yet to go hiking with them, but hope to climb Mt. Whitney next year. So far they feel great when walking around the house. I will probably buy a 2nd pair in another color.
Pros: Great design, Build qualityLowa Renegade GTX Mid Men's
March 28, 2012
I walked the entire Camino de Santiago de Compostela (500 miles) using these shoes. I had no issues with blisters, my Lowa Renegades were very comfortable and proved very reliable and durable. Upon my return, I was amazed to see that my Vibram soles were still in great shape, with no loss of rubber tread visible in any area of the soles. My Renegades were comfortable in hot weather and they kept me dry and warm in Galicia's wet and cold weather. All in all, a great pair of all-terrain hiking shoes, I highly recommend them! Buen Camino!
Pros: comfortable, durable, kept my feet drySo glad I bought these hiking boots
June 02, 2013
Initially I was a bit discouraged by the price. Before I received these shoes (boots) I could not understan why hiking booths have to be priced at the level these were (having paid between 50%-75% for different brands). However I was looking for comfortable shoes that I could wear for many hours at a time. I was, and still am amazed at the good quality and comfort level of my "new" hiking booths. I am positive I will choose this brand from now on.
Pros: extremely comfortable to wear for several hours, my socks remain clean, Cons: as others have said a little on the heavy sidelike slippers
April 20, 2013
today was my first day in the new boot on a mountain turkey hunt. put many miles on and the boots were fantastic. boots loosened up very nicely and with the flexibility and light weight, it was like hunting in slippers! looking forward to putting a lot more miles on these boots!
Pros: light weight, ready to goDeluxe hiking boots
January 07, 2013
These boots were recommended to me by an Altrec.com customer service person (Jason... I think). I explained my need for really solid, waterproof hiking boots that could handle the rigors of the Utah, off trail, back country during the cold winter months, as well as some of the sloppier times in spring and/or fall. I also communicated my flat feet (wider size) needs and explained my tendency to Merrell products. He recommended these Lowa boots - and he was right. They are a little pricey; however, anybody that hikes regularly will understand that the money is worth it to protect your feet. These boots only took 1 hike to break in (felt a little restricting on the heel on my first hike). I'm now about 8 hikes in to using these boots and my feet are dry, warm and comfortable tramping through 2 feet of snow, etc. The sole grip seems to be good and the ankle support is excellent.

Perfect for backpacking
July 15, 2011
Took these out for a three day hike in Sequoia early Summer. Put about 20 miles on these shoes through snow melt, snow, backcountry hiking in the snow. Not only did these keep my feet dry and comfortable, they never gave me any blisters or even hot spots. Didnt break them in at all. So far my best pair of boots ever.
Pros: water resistant, comfort, blister free, Cons: n/aLowa Comfort
August 27, 2011
I own 3 pair of Lowa hiking boots. The Renegade are my favorite and I would easily recommend these to others shopping for boots. The Renegade is very comfortable right out of the box. The Vibram soles are superior on these boots. The Vibram soles are significantly better than Lowa's own sole on some of their other boots such as the Zephyr. The Renegade Vibram soles grip better and last longer. The insoles are standard factory issue and will need to be replaced - I use Sole insoles which I find superior to all others. The Renegade runs slightly narrow which fits my foot very well with liners and socks. These boots are waterproof with GORE-TEX which is a must have on the trails I hike. A big plus is the comfort and they are lightweight.

The Lowa hiking boot is the best boot I have ever bought! Great quality, comfortable and rugged.....wore them on a trip to Alaska this summer, while hiking the Chilkoot Trail. They kept my feet very happy - warm, dry and most importantly blister free! I will buy their products again. Met and exceeded my expectations by far. Thanks Altrec and Lowa!!
Solid boots; no blisters!
June 25, 2011
This is my 2nd pair of Lowa Mid GTX hiking boots. The last pair I had were purchased in 2005. After treks in the Rockies, Patagonia and the Alps it was time to get a new pair of boots (due to some cracking in the toe rubber). After looking for several weeks I wound up with simply getting the new version of the same exact boot. They simply have no hot spots and take little to no time to break in. Although I wanted a slightly more stylish pair of boots, the reliability is ultimately the most important factor when going out on the trail.
Pros: no break-in time, comfortable, multiple color optionsLowa is quality and comfort
March 10, 2011
This boot has met or exceeded all my expectations. Very comfortable out of the box, well made and durable. The design besides being very attractive is also very functional and balanced. If I could have done anything different it would have been to go a half size larger to accommodate a heavy sock. I am a 12 narrow and these are a size 12 narrow width and are very true to size. If I wear a regular pair of sox they are fine but I prefer a heavy gauge wool or combo sox and they are a bit tight in that instance. I am very happy with my selection.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of useAlready own the LOWA Renegade Mid GTX Hiking Boot? Tell us your thoughts.
Renegade Mid GTX
June 01, 2011
Pro's - Solid Construction. I was drawn to this boot because of the European design and manufacture. I was looking for a lighter mid-height boot where the sole would not separate from the upper after a few uses. The Monowrap design element is unique and just may have solved that issue - time will tell. But, I have worn the boot a couple times without issue and virtually no break-in and no concerns. Con's - None. This is an awesome hiking boot for those activities when a low cut design would risk ankle injury, but a heavier and stiffer expedition type boot would be to much.

Well Made
September 14, 2011
I wear a 9.5 in Merrells, 10 in Nike, and 9 in dress shoes (Ferragamo & E. Zegna). That said, I ordered a 9.5 for these Lowa boots and they're a little small with just cotton socks. I am returning these for a size 10, the size that I wear for Nike sneakers. Overall though, these boots seem really well made...I'm so impressed that I will exchange them for the size 10 and see how it goes. Oh, I also have narrow feet and the Regular width for these feel about right. If you do not have narrow feet, I'd consider the Wide width as suggested by others.
Pros: attractive appearance, good ankle support, well madeAmazing Hiking Boot . . . but . . .
April 13, 2013
I purchased the Lowa Renegade for the first time in 2010. I have been living on the Kenai Peninsula in Southcentral Alaska since that time for the most part. This boot is amazing. It is comfortable, practically waterproof, and never gave me any blisters. Basically, I loved the boots. Believe me I wore these boots for all my outdoor activities, including: fishing, hiking, saltwater kayaking, hunting, and even just out on the town. I used them a lot. I would have given them 5 stars except for the fact that they completely fell apart on me in October 2012. I mean the sole just fell apart. I noticed first that my socks would get wet in puddles and then two weeks later my shoes looked like a puppet because the sole was flapping while i walked. That being said, i purchased them again and will try to take better care of them. I love them but if they can't last more than two years I don't think I'll purchase again due to the price. Amazing shoes otherwise.
Pros: comfortable, waterproof, great fit, look great, work for variety of activities, great hiking boots, Cons: completely fell apart when they finally gave out, did not last three years but i worked them hardgreat boot!
August 11, 2010
I use it for day hikes and multi day backpacking. Lightweight yet ample support for heavy packs. Good ventilation and traction, laces easy and is a sharp looking boot. Can't go wrong with Lowa.
Awesome Boot
October 08, 2012
I love these boots. They are so comfortable! They comform to my feet and dont give me any blisters. I reccoemd changing out the laces to something stronger though. .The laces it comes with tend to be too easy to pull. They are too elastic. I would not reccomend this boot for loads above 20lb in a pack.
Comfort out of the box!
February 12, 2011
Just got these boots for a Teton hike later this year. They were comfortable out of the box and I've had the all day with absolutely no comfort problems. I have a wide foot so the availability of a wide size was a plus in my decision to pull the trigger on this boot. I'm glad I did. I'll have to wait for a while to make a decision on durability but so far there are no downsides . Also aesthetically they are a nice looking boot. I got the black/navy and love the look. Didn't hurt that Altrec had them on sale either!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, great lookLowa Renegade Mid GTX
September 11, 2011
I've had about 3 pairs of Lowa and they've all been fantastic. Comfort right out of the box is known to be great with Lowa. If their last fits your foot you're almost guaranteed a great boot. And they come in Narrow also with some of their styles. The Renegade Mid GTX is a much lighter boot than I've had with Lowa in the past, but I'll be in Africa for quite a while in the desert and wanted a lighter trekking boot. We'll see how well it breathes since it's GTX. Very light and flexible boot with good support. If you are doing some very rocky climbing/hiking these will be too flexible. But for general hiking they're been great so far.
Pros: light and supportiveExcellent boots
July 14, 2011
First let me say that I've avoided buying and trying these boots for a while because their style seemed too casual (they lack a rubber toe cap). A friend recommended that I try them on so I ordered a pair and I have to say, they are comfortable enough right out of the box to hike in. The fit is excellent and I usually take an 8.5 and ordered that size and they're fine with my usual socks: SmartWool medium weight PhDs. The boots are well made, sturdy, flexible but not too flexible and have enough ankle support to make me feel secure. Even the beige color which doesn't look all that appealing online looks much better in person; it has more green in it. The proof will be in hiking and I have yet to walk outside the house with the boots. Even though they're quite comfortable out of the box I'll wear them inside for a few days just to make sure. The soles look decent and are thickly lugged which should make them pretty sticky on damp rock. Again, hiking will tell the tale. The boots are so comfortable in fact that I'm probably going to order the low version of them for everyday wear.
Pros: light weight, comfortable, deep lugs in sole, Cons: casual style, lack of rubber toe capI wear them all winter and for hard yard work.
November 13, 2012
I wear them all winter and for hard yard work, and no matter how dirty they get I can take my garden hose and in no time they look like new again. They are a little heave , but so very nice dry and just right. I have now had them over 2 years. I'm now wanting more Lowa shoes!
Pros: great traction, made to last!, not made in china!, great foot protection, Cons: a little bit heaveExcellent boot
October 29, 2010
I was very impressed with these boots; I am 5'11" @ 185lb. and do a lot of day hiking with a 25 to 45 lb back pack and found that these boots were very comfortable right out of the box (no break in period needed); I have had no blisters or sore spots. My only concern is that the tongue is only partly leather and part man made water resistant material. I wish the leather came up a little higher just in case I step in a stream that is deeper than 5" or so, I often walk through streams and although it hasn't happened yet (we are in a fairly dry season this year) I am concerned that the man made material that is useful for breathability may also allow moisture/water to the inside of the boot. Nonetheless, I am very pleased over all and I would highly recommend and buy again this brand.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands today unveiled a small, remote-controlled aircraft weighing just 0.11 ounces (three grams) and with a four-inch (10-centimeter) wingspan--just large enough to accommodate an onboard camera.
The DelFly "micro air vehicle," which flaps its wings and looks like a dragonfly, can fly for about three minutes at a speed of 16.4 feet (five meters) per second. The team hopes the DelFly Micro--Delft's third-generation robot flyer (after the 0.81-ounce (23-gram) DelFly I in 2005 and the 0.56-ounce (16-gram) DelFly II a year later) will capture images from nooks and crannies that bigger cameras cannot reach. The DelFly II's camera transmits TV-quality images, allowing it to be operated from a computer using a joystick and giving the person controlling the mechanical insect the feeling of being inside the cockpit of a miniature aircraft. The researchers are hoping to further develop the DelFly Micro's camera so that it can be used the same way. They are also working to give the DelFly Micro the ability to hover (like a hummingbird) and fly backwards (the DelFly II can do both).
Next on the agenda: the DelFly NaNo, projected to weigh a single gram and have a two-inch (five-centimeter) wingspan. In addition to making ever-smaller robots, the researchers want to add image recognition software that will let the DelFlys zoom on their own without getting tangled in a tree or crashing into a wall.

A melting pot of many cultures, Beirut is home to a great diversity of languages, nationalities and religions. This provides many contrasts in the streets, where churches and mosques sit side by side, and ancient houses survive beside modern towers.
Numerous hotels provide good accommodations, and the many restaurants offer a wide variety of cuisines. The city never sleeps. Night life gets started at around 10pm to continue into the wee hours. Monot and Gimmayze Streets, both in Ashrafieh, are centers of the scene; Hamra Street is another busy area. The Casino du Liban in Jounieh, with luxurious gaming rooms, is another favorite.
As far as the gay scene is concerned, more than one reviewer has described Beirut as the "Provincetown of the Middle East." A bit of hyperbole, perhaps, for a country like Lebanon where homosexuality is still illegal. But in the Arab world it would be hard to find another place where gays enjoy this much freedom.
That's not to say that you'll see men walking hand in hand down Hamra Street. In public, locals say, you still have to be discreet. But gay people can hang out together in chic cafes, dine at trendy restaurants, or dance the night away at hip clubs without fear of being harassed by the police. No wonder Beirut has become a magnet for men from all over the Middle East, and more recently from Europe and beyond as well.
Getting here
Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport is about 20 minutes from downtown. When discussing the fare with taxi drivers, don't offer to pay more than $20.
Getting around
Beirut is a compact city, so walking is the best way to see the sights. If you're going farther, taxis are abundant. For area bus services see the website of the Lebanese Commuting Company, known as the LCC
Currency and Money
Lebanese lira are the currency, but many places accept US dollars and euros. ATMs are found in the center. Let your home bank know your travel plans to avoid credit card hassles, and ask if they have a local partner bank that can save on ATM withdrawal fees.
Media & resources
LebTour LGBT travel guide has good tips on where to stay and what do in gay Beirut, surrounding countryside, and other cities in Lebanon. They also offer tours to the nearby Arab nations of Jordan and Syria. Their online guide lists local gay businesses and cruising (AYOR) areas at beaches, marinas and cinemas.

The Blog from BeirutBoy at GuyMeetsWorld has tips and news about the city too. Beirut.com has more info on what to do and where to stay here.
The guys with Bear Arabia are also very helpful; they've coordinated trips for bear groups coming from Europe and elsewhere for several years.
The Empire Metropolis at Centre Sofil is a gay-friendly art house cinema with international screenings and events.
Helem is the LGBTIQ community center, with services, art, cinema and social events; also they publish the bi-quarterly Barra Magazine.
Meem is a community organization of LGBQQ women and transgendered people who publish the magazine Bekhsoos.
TimeOut Beirut has a good general guide to city restaurants, places to stay, and sights to see.
Mawaleh is the first and only gay magazine in neighboring Syria, from Sami Hamwi "a Syrian gay guy."
For some local bars and other listings see our Gay Beirut maps & listings tab. Our Arab-language Beirut map has pins as close to locations as possible, but help from a friendly local (BearArabia or LebTours perhaps) might be handy before you wander the streets for the first time. Taxis remain the best option for door-to-door service.
In July 2012 police raided the Plaza Cinema, a cruisy sex scene, after a local TV host (said to be closet-gay by locals) denounced the "prostitution and debauchery" taking place there. The cinema was closed down and 36 men were arrested. See the story on Joe Maalouf at GayInBeirut, and check with locals before taking risks when cruising.
Off our map, to the north of Beirut near Ghazir, 50 km from the airport, the Casino du Liban offers elaborate Vegas style entertainment, gaming tables and slot machines, and fine dining.
For events listings, museums, marketplaces, and getting to the water, see our events and activities tabs.

I keep getting random crashes to desktop after less than 5 minutes of playing, I play with a heavily modded Skyrim but have never had any problems in the past though admittedly I have neglected Skyrim recently. Has anyone had this problem? My Skyrim is updated to the latest version as well. A rough estimate of the amount of mods I have installed is probably around 80-100.
That would be a very last resort, I would have to wipe my skyrim install because you can't just uninstall as many mods as I have Edit: Seems to be working fine now for some odd reason though only my lvl 45 dark elf is able to get perk points , my lvl 53 imperial is not gaining any even through mods. The dark elf gets perk points from mods normally and my imperial doesn't which is a real pain since i favor the imperial :/ has anyone encountered that and found a fix?
Sigh seems the CTD are back now if it doesn't stay better I will have to re-install and do mods one by one through the mod manager :/ Edit: Totally forgot I had the retail disc for Skyrim -_- that makes going back to vanilla so much easier lol.
Well I just spent a few hours redoing all of my mods only to have NMM suddenly say they were deleted or moved and had to be uninstalled when there locations havent changed in months now I remember why I installed everything manually and didn't rely on shitty programs. Edit: Even better everything I had stored in my Hideout is now gone :shadedshu less than half as many mods installed as before and my problems are now 10x worse :shadedshu
I just did the same thing however as far as i know there is no way to add multiple files at once you just have to add a file and then navigate to the archive you are trying to add then rinse and repeat. Be warned though install every mod after bringing it in or Mod Manager will freak out at you and lose half your mods :shadedshu
I always used NMM for my mods but it stands to reason that trying to use it now would require uninstalling all the mods and reinstalling them through the mod manager. Personally I'd go a step further and reinstall the game and start over. It will probably save you time.
okay, to bad turning Depth of field off gets rid of all the underwater effects to the point where it doesnt even look like your under water anymore. There is a mod on nexus to fix this through a simple plugin. It adjusts the underwater fog values back to something that works, that the 1.5 update messed up. yeah, I uninstalled Skyrim and then deleted the folder to cleanly reinstall it and I am now reinstalling all my mods with NMM it is so much easier with this program!!!!! Some mods I will have to to it manually though.
I have heard that some mods are not fully compliant with the latest skyrim update and that is what causes the CTD's you may just have to add 1 play save add another rinse and repeat until you find the one/s that are the cause of the CTD's ... I know alot of the moders are trying hard to get their mods updated so they work
Quick question: I haven't been around for a while, does anyone know if there's a WEAPON and ARMOR Re-Texture PACK on Nexus that I could download? I'm lookin for a bigazz one like the HD - 2K texture pack (this one ain't for weapons or armor, but you get the idea...) Otherwise, can some of you shoot me a "screenshot" of their NMM mods (so I can see what weapons and Armor mods u got) or shoot me some links ??
there's plenty of weapons and Armour mods on the Nexus though I don't think they're High Res Currently I run killer keo's skimpy armour http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3654
I'm lookin for REALLY good weapon and armour RE-Textures, pls link em if u know em http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1754 THIS one for instance, is a good start
from now on, we must replace 'batman' with 'TheMailMan' TheMailMan rises. TheMailMan: Arkham Asylum the Mailcopter. Mailarang. bedtime nao.
I just installed a few mods (100 ior so!) from the Steam Workshop. Combined with the Beta Driver I have been having some crashes. Gotta manually hunt down the offending mod. This will be time consuming and tedious,
Ha ha they should make a Skyrim circus-acrobats mod. Or is it already in the vanilla game? ______________ I lost Shadowmere. There was a lone horse which I could take for free without stealing, and as soon as I mounted it Shadowmere never appeared anywhere again. I think it'd be near one of the Sanctuary's places... I'll just look for it... ______________ The Blood on Ice quest doesn't want to trigger in my game this time. I read (too late) that if you complete the Dark Brotherhood's quests before it gets started it might cause problems. I think I'll just pick the lock to Hjerim and see what happens. Might as well do it now, before I return the skeleton key...

Another double-dipper - so what. This is a non-story! Obviously, Auditor Christine Cohen got her buddy, second rate reporter K. Wilson, to write something that would embarrass Supervisor Peter Foy, since Foy questioned Cohen's hiring an retired employee as a consultant last month. The two hirings were totally different. Cohen filled the position vacated by the retiree and added to her budget the cost of the ex-employee as a consultant. The Harbor hired the consultant in-lieu of a new employee and reduced its personnel costs. This seems like a no-brainer. The story should be about how the Harbor saved money and was supported by the Board of Supervisors, not about another double-dipper. The real question is why the editors of the Star even ran this obviously slanted story and did not tell Wilson to get to work and find some real news.

On September 24, 1960, Lee Iacocca saw his dream become a reality. That was the day that Flora, Illinois became "Ford Town USA." It was a huge promotional stunt that Lee organized for Ford. Essentially, all 1600 citizens of Flora with a registered vehicle was given a new for 1961 Ford Falcon, Fairlane, Thunderbird, or truck to test drive for one week. All the passenger cars were painted white while the trucks were dressed in blue. For that one week, Flora was surely a sight to behold.
Your best friend? He had a brand new Ford for a week. That schmuck that stole your lunch money every day in grade school? Driving a new Ford. Your moms? Loving a new Fairlane. The local Chevrolet dealer? Sporting a white Ford. You? You don't mind the new Falcon so much.
It went down like a country style Lemans start. Every eligible citizen was given a number. The 1600 Fords were numbered as well and parked in a field just outside of town. At 10:23 AM, the citizens of Flora were let loose and sprint across the field to find their new loaner.
You just gotta know that shenanigans ensued. I mean if Ford gave me a new car for a week it damn sure wouldn't be "near new" when they got it back and I'm a pretty decent guy. What would a real hoodlum do?
I've searched and searched for dark sided stories, arrests, and general law shifting that went on during Ford week, but found nothing. In fact, all that seems to remain from the week of wonder are these three photos and some PR sprinkled press clips. We are just left to wonder…
In an ironic twist, Flora no longer has a Ford dealership.
