Recent Sleeping Bag Liner Reviews
Sea to Summit Reactor Thermolite Liner
Warm bag liner for backpacking or traveling. I like this bag liner. It's tough and it's warm. I have used this on many occasions, and it has definitely extended my sleeping bag's comfort zone well into the shoulder seasons. It also makes ventilation easier in a sleeping bag: with this on, you can unzip the bag a little more to get air, without also getting a chill. One of my few complaints about it are that the material gets along too well with baselayers. It slides easily around inside the bag,… Full review
Coleman Stratus Fleece Liner
This liner will add warmth to your sleeping bag without breaking the bank. Unzipped, it can also serve as a blanket. Nothing special here — it just gets the job done. I have had this fleece sleeping bag for over a year now. I originally got it because I don't have a winter sleeping bag, and so I wanted to make my current three-season bag warmer for a winter camping trip. This has turned out to be a pretty good purchase for me, as I've used it for more than just winter camping. Let's start with… Full review
The North Face Liner Bag
OK, so this liner holds your core heat in and keeps the dreaded cold drafts out. I live on the Gasconade River in Pulaski County, Missouri. On my property we camp out a lot near the river. The temperature drops 7 to 9 degrees lower near the water's edge, so packing the right gear is a must for comfort and safety. Protecting your core is a must. Maintaing your body heat can make the difference in an OK overnighter or a great comfortable warm night's sleep. It sucks to be cold, so listen: buy this… Full review
Equinox Vapor Barrier Liner
This product is well constructed and performs extremely well. It is lightweight and well worth the additional weight in the winter setting. I have ventured into winter backpacking and after my first three-day trip and an extra 10 pounds to my pack gained from my sleeping bag a barrier was in order. Originally going to make one, but this one made of the same material I had gotten design for and I could not make it for that price. Well constructed and keep my bag dry and keeps me dry and warm. Compared… Full review
Sea to Summit Reactor Thermolite Liner
True-to-spec 15°F of added warmth and lightweight make this bag liner a winner. It's better than my old silk bag liner in that it's lighter and the moths don't like it. I'll start by saying this doesn't seem to be a true "mummy" liner in that it doesn't have the traditionally small mummy footbox. That really doesn't matter — what matters most is that it's warm! In fact, I can't believe how warm it is and I'd swear it adds more that 15° F to your bag. I thought I liked my old silk bag liner even… Full review
Cocoon CoolMax MummyLiner
Great product, aided in my successful thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail 2012. I don't know why anybody would go without one of these, even if it's not this particular brand. Basically, you use this as a liner for your sleeping bag. It will add 5-10 degrees for when it's cold, or you can just sleep in this by itself for when it's super hot. One of the more important things too, is that you can simply wash it, rather than attempting to wash and potentially ruining your sleeping bag. The material… Full review
Cocoon Silk MummyLiner
Lightweight, adds warmth. Was not sure this would work out but it DOES keep me warmer and keeps bag cleaner and is very lightweight and compact. I got the green color. Full review
Sea to Summit Reactor Thermolite Liner
This thing will add warmth and extend the life of your sleeping bag. This thing always goes with me, no matter which sleeping bag I'm using, because it adds the extra warmth or helps regulate my sleeping comfort temperature. It also does a great job in keeping my body odor or oils from getting on to a very expensive bag and thus extending the life of your sleeping bags. Full review
Sea to Summit Reactor Plus Thermolite Liner
Really warms up a bag when you are on the cold edge of what your sleeping bag can handle. This bag liner is amazing. It really warms up the bag. I was camping with this and my Marmot Atom (40°) and the temps got down into the high 30s. I woke up in the middle of the night chilled so I slipped into this and immediately felt more warmth. Not long after I was getting really warm and had to vent my sleeping bag. I would never guess such a thin fabric would hold in so much heat. The bag liner packs… Full review

Oh, he sure is a cutie! Like the way you spaced the photos on the page. Great title work, too. So glad you could join us this month.
Diane, such a soft and haunting layout. Love that you kept everything in the pastel/smoky hues so the photos weren't over-shadowed. Beautiful page. So glad you could play along this month.
BTW... in order to receive credit for it - you need to post it into the FONT GALLERY as shown on post 1 of this thread. That is where I look to verify that everyone has met the requirements for the challenge. It is posted into your personal GDS Challenge album. Thanks so much.

The Times-Picayune reported that Jindal is in the process of fleshing out the tax reform proposal, the goal of which, according to a statement from the Governor's office and given to the paper, "is to eliminate all personal income tax and all corporate income tax in a revenue neutral manner. We want to keep the sales tax as low and flat as possible."
"Eliminating personal income taxes will put more money back into the pockets of Louisiana families and will change a complex tax code into a more simple system that will make Louisiana more attractive to companies who want to invest here and create jobs," Jindal says in the statement.
"Tax reform will remove administrative burdens from families and small businesses and improve Louisiana's business prospects; create more business investment opportunities with increased job growth; and raise the state's profile in national business rankings," the statement continues.
"The bottom line is that for too long, Louisiana's workers and small businesses have suffered from having a state tax structure that is too complex and that holds back economic prosperity. It's time to change that so people can keep more of their own money and foster an environment where businesses want to invest and create good-paying jobs."
Jindal will meet with state legislators over the next few weeks to talk about the plan.
The Louisiana governor, who is also currently Chairman of the Republican Governors Association, is considered a likely presidential hopeful in 2016.

Treatment of Eczema and Chronic Cough in Children with Laser Acupuncture
There is a new generation of children rising whose mothers have done everything in their power to shield them from pain. Rather than train them to endure the pain and suffering that they will inevitably meet later in life, they hope against hope that their precious children will never have to experience pain.
This make life difficult for the acupuncturist, and it means that one has to look for new, pain free methods of treatment if one is to help this new generation.
Laser treatment of acupuncture points is one such method, and it can be very effective. We will discuss how it differs from needling or using moxa on points, and when to use one rather than another. We will focus on treating eczema by way of an example, and we will also talk about the laser 'shower' which can be thought of as the acupuncture 'cortisone cream' because of its effectiveness, though without any of the side effects of cortisone.
We will show how lasers are not so good for the stronger children with the accumulation disorder, but very good indeed for the children with weak spleen qi.
Part of the talk will be devoted to practical aspects - dosage, safety, how to choose equipment.

Hugs Bridget I know how you feel, about it seeming like forever ago but so recently.
I wish we could meet up too...I hope we do someday!
Thanks guys.
Tomorrow my older brother, his wife and four kids are going to be at my dad's. They'll actually arrive tonight and then we'll go over there tomorrow and my dad is going to bbq and take us all to the local fair. My little bro, my bestie, is at a muscial festival this weekend. We'll miss him but I understand and support him doing whatever he wants to do this weekend. I hope my older brother and his wife feel the same. They can be judgy. But I love em.
I wish the internet was around when I had Bobbie and Jessie...oh, the things I would have done differently.
& congrats on getting $ for your ring!
some day we will meet up Bridget. I don't know when, but I'm sure of it.
Bobbie had her senior trip today. She had to be dropped off before 7:00 a.m. and eta is 11-11:30 pm. She's on the bus now returning home and she texted she was arrested. I told her I hoped she was joking, but she said she's not. She was 'fingerprinted and everything.' I texted back that I wasn't going to discuss it via text, and for future reference don't give me bad news through text ever again. I have no clue what she did, but needless to say I'm beyond disappointed. And a little bit livid. I haven't said anything to Rich about it. I just want to be pissed about it without having to calm him down, because he's going to be far more upset that me. And that's saying a lot.
I know I run interference between the girls and Rich a lot. I shouldn't have to. I should be able to worry and vent with him, but I know if he knows about it before she gets home, he'll just light into her, call her stupid, and be absolutely unreasonable. I can only deal with one thing at a time. I'll deal with her, calm down, then deal with him.
Oh hell no, Chrissy. WTF?
My guess is she was drinking with her friends. ? She's made joking comments about wanting to drink lately and I know it's common for some kids to take alcohol on those trips. I can't think of what else she could have done.
But there goes her chance of getting a part time job this summer. I'm furious.
Oh Chrissy! What the heck happened?
Josh said something very smart today that I thought was cool and wanted to share. He was eating some crackers that have little bits of salt on them and he said "Salt looks like crystals"
I told him they indeed are crystals and told him that sugar is crystals too. He knows what crystals look like because he had a science kit with crystals in it (I forget what exactly they are called) but they were much bigger than salt and I was impressed that he noticed the similarity.
He loves science. Ever since we did that kit, he likes to take various things from the kitchen and mix them together to see what happens.
Oh Chrissy, I hope it was something relatively harmless... although I don't know what that could be.
Myles, your a great mom, you know? I love how much you thought of Bohdi's feelings during the whole weaning process, and even made a little cake. You rock.
oh, Abbey's watching me type this and I told her to pick out a smiley to send to Bohdi. She picks this one: She also wanted to tell him "hi".
Do they actually arrest kids for underage drinking these days? How long do you have to sit on this until she gets home?
This is going to sound awful so please keep in mind that I'm extremely angry right now, but I'm feeling like if I knew what it would be like to have teenagers, that stuff would keep happening back to back to back without any time for peace and tranquility in between (so it seems right now), I might not have had kids at all.
Just reading that makes me hate myself.
I expect her to arrive at the school in the next 30-60 minutes. I hope the bus isn't late. I could use a drink.
Ugh, I'm sorry.
And you shouldn't hate yourself for feeling that way. Hindsight is 20-20! I can only hope that when Josh is a teenager and I'm in my 40's I'll be a little more able to handle it then I am now..but I really don't know.
I know now that there is really no way for anyone to warn you about how difficult children can be. My mom tried to warn me and I thought she was just underestimating my abilities. But it really is hard.
Oh, Chrissy. I remember when my brother was pulling crap like this. I never saw such raw emotion in my mom as I did when she was dealing with one thing after another with him. I hate that you are feeling such pain.
Thanks. I just don't feel up to the challenge of teenagers.
On a happier note, I was gonna post about this earlier but Bobbie's news made me forget all about it. Conner had a difficult time last evening and threw a fit in the car all the way home...a good 20 minutes. He wasn't much better once we got home either. He was temperamental and inconsolable and tried all of our patience. Later, after he'd been calmed down for an hour or so I was helping him in the bathroom and he said very sweetly, "I'm sorry I was grouchy earlier." I instantly forgave him everything!! As if I was holding a grudge, but it just made the whole thing worth it.
Hooray for Conner. He's gonna be a success with the ladies to boot.
But crap! about Bobbie. I hope it wasn't anything too severe - y'know just kids being kids. About being teenagers: my sister and I ... we got into SO. MUCH. TROUBLE. Sometimes I think the smarter you are, the more trouble you get into, because you're bored and curious. So of course my hyper-genius sister got into the worst trouble. She was truant a ton of times, got arrested for tossing a ciggy out the window while driving a car at 15, drove a car into the garage door, ran away, and - don't mean to scare you - hooked up with A LOT of guys. My mom enrolled us in the ToughLove program.
I mainly did a ton of substances, managed to fool my mom into thinking I was at friends' houses while we were out at all hours, and managed to evade trouble for the most part. It took my sister longer, but we eventually outgrew the limit-testing thing once we tasted real autonomy living on our own.
I don't really know what my point is. I guess it's just that my sister and I were rotten, but we were excellent students and ended up ok today (except for my sis being pathological and a cheater but try to ignore that part). Hey, maybe if Bobbie follows my sister's trajectory, she'll end up a miserable millionairess too.
OK, now I'm totally sabotaging my point. I'm sorry. I'm trying to sound reassuring and messing it up.
What I mean to say in all seriousness is that this doesn't signal Bobbie's permanent course. She can have a turnaround for sure. I just hope you don't go totally gray while you wait for that to happen.
Molly, thanks for encouragement. I need to know what music you're listening to nowadays. And I have a mix to send you too.

Wow, just checking in now and saw the post about Bobbie. Please update when you can, Chrissy. I'm worried.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Up with Sawyer and came to check. I'm worried too!
Yeah, everything is ok. Her bus didn't get in till 1:30 and I was beat tired. I'm not much of an early person so I didn't turn my computer on till now.
Anyway, she was arrested for shoplifting a key chain. To say I'm disappointed is putting it mildly, but I'm glad it wasn't worse. It was just her and one other friend.
Chrissy, I was wondering if it was something like shoplifting when you posted last night. I don't know if it will help, but I can tell you my personal experience with it.
I had a gradually escalating experience with petty theft.
In kindergarten, I ate my dad's chocolate pudding because he was late for dinner and it was just sitting there. I denied it, and later got a stomachache. I stole change from my dad's yogurt cup starting in 2nd grade. I used it to buy candy from the corner store. I got questioned about it in 6th grade, when he realized he kept running out of change for the bus, but all they said was that they hoped it wasn't me that was making him walk all the way to work.
In 7th grade, I stole a silver chain from a Payless Drugstore, because everyone in my grade had one, I wanted one so badly so I could fit in, and my mom said we couldn't afford it. Store security followed us out of the store and pulled us back in (I was with my mom and sister in the parking lot) and put a lot of fear in me. They said I couldn't come back to another Payless within a year or they would file charges.
My mom hugged me out in the parking lot, told me she loved me, said she knew I wasn't a bad person and that I wasn't a thief and that I must have had a very difficult time right then. She also said that it was going to be very hard to not go to Payless for a whole year, but we stayed out, even when we were in other states.
I never stole anything again.
When the threads on APA come up about what do you do if you find out you have something in your bag that you haven't paid for and you're out in your car, or even in your house, I'm one of the people that always says I will pay for it, even if it's a PITA to go back.
Needless to say, I think shoplifting is a pretty common part of growing up. I know it sucks to have it actually happening right then and there, though.
Bridget, I hope this day is peaceful for you, filled with fond memories and good company.
Mylah, I love how you are making Bodhi feel special and how much thought and care you put into the cake and everything about the weaning process. And I agree, boo to anyone who makes you feel bad about your nursing relationship.
AmeriAsh, how was your trip?
Thanks Lydia. She's going to be humiliated during her last few days of school. Everyone knows about it because the buses actually stayed 2 hours late because of them. I take it the ride home was quite uncomfortable, although 2 did thank them for getting them a couple extra hours to ride the rides.
Bridget, I hope you have a good day with your family.
I'm glad it wasn't something more serious like drinking, but sorry you have to deal with it, Chrissy.
I hope you're having a good day remembering your mom today Bridget.
How was your trip, Ash?
It's amazing how hard it is to find a Red Sox sweatshirt. I don't usually shop for sports team clothes so I don't know if it's the time of year that's a problem or what. I wanted to wear one to the show tonight but I had to settle for a Boston sweatshirt instead. Good enough! I wasn't planning on it being so freezing tonight!
Chrissy, I'm glad it's minor but I understand you're upset. I hope just the experience of all her friends knowing will make her think twice in the future.
Bridget, thinking of you today.
Kate, the show is tonight? Have fun!

Hey, y'all; I've been trying to read the pages of chat that I've missed while away but I don't think I'll ever get the time! I didn't get on the net til the last few days we were in the USA because we only used the free WiFi at the hotel. I liked taking an Internet break and decided to not be online as much when we returned home, so I haven't been! And I'm getting a lot more done around the house that way!
The trip home was fantastic (though there was a little drama with my sister). She had asked my brother on FB if he'd seen me yet and when he said no (he worked nearly ever day we were there), she said to him, "Oh, I guess they're too good to come see you, huh?" My brother and sister have always had a chip on their shoulder about me graduating college and not working at the factory like they do; we visited him once but it was a very awkward visit.
The rest of it, though, was awesome. We stayed in a cabin in the mountains with a gorgeous view. We saw all of my family that I wanted to see; even my cousin whom I hadn't seen in 6 years who was my best friend growing up! She flew down from MI especially to see us; it was so awesome to see her; it made me feel even more homesick when she had to go back home. We had a 12 year class reunion and me and Amy (my cousin) were the best looking ones there and we felt good since we were the outcasts in high school.
The boys enjoyed Arkansas even though it was sooo hot while we were there. It was nearly 100 degrees every day we were there (the highs here are in the 50's!). Travis ate a lot of ice cream and played with lots of animals. (He now wants a dog!) Cash learned to crawl and came back with 2 teeth. Travis got to swim naked in a river for the first time and he enjoyed milk shakes at Sonic and sweet tea. He learned a few new phrases like "over yonder." Cash enjoyed all the attention he got.
It's nice to be back home now; I'm over the jet lag finally. It was hard leaving AR this time; I think not knowing when we'll get to go back makes it harder. I wish we lived closer. But we're back now and getting back in to routine!
Thanks for thinking of me, y'all!
Ashley-I just love it that you were the best looking ones there! Woo hoo!! I'm glad you had a great time
I guess the part I'm most confused about regarding Bobbie's shoplifting episode is that I did give her money for souvenirs. It would be easier for me to grasp if she didn't have any money, but whatever. What's done is done and I do think she learned from this experience. I have no reason to believe this has been a habit-she really did get caught her first time. I said that I was glad it was a minor thing and not a car. Poor girl-her humiliation is so strong I've decided I won't punish her.

Detroit City Councilman James Tate will present a plan Thursday that would bring livestock to the city to fight blight by eating the overgrown grass across several lots. Motown is no farm town, but other cities already have grazing ordinances such as Cleveland and Chicago. Tate admits he was skeptical, too, at first, but believed in the idea after a little research.
The final numbers have not been configured yet, but Tate says the plan would save the city lots of money. "We are financially strapped. That's no secret. And to be able to utilize these natural lawnmowers, as they call them, to utilize them and beat back these bushes," Tate tells Fox 2's Maurielle Lue. "We have 140 square-miles in this city, and many of those areas are vacant. Why not utilize everything on this earth to try and address the challenges we have?" Tate asks.
"The ideas are boundless on what we can do. But I just think it's a shame that residents come to the city and say, 'Hey, this is what we want.' and we could say no just because it's unfamiliar and, in our minds, we haven't seen it before. We've got to open up our minds to something new and different."Tate says Brightmoor residents first suggested the idea, called "prescribed grazing."

Bob Ficano's former right-hand man insists he did not name a rundown racehorse in honor of the embattled Wayne County executive.
Odd, since both the gelding and the political boss are named Ficano -- a rare name even in Italy.
"It was just coincidence," said Charlie Williams, the former deputy county executive who also moonlights as a thoroughbred horse breeder.
The way Williams tells it -- and the way he explained it to the Jockey's Club, which registered the horse's name in 2009 -- Ficano is an amalgam of the names of its parents.
The sire of Ficano was Giacomo -- winner of the 2005 Kentucky Derby as a 50-1 long shot. The mare was Fenceit. Mash the names together and you get Ficano. At least according to Williams.
"It's not because my former boss was named Ficano," Williams explained. "The name just had a ring to it."
Ficano -- the horse -- was born three years ago on a Fenton farm, but has not amounted to much. As a foal, it was attacked by its mother and carries a scar across the breadth of its neck. Ficano is short, slow-footed and winless in five races.
Ficano the county executive lives in his mother's house, exists on a wheat-free diet and is in the middle of a wide-ranging FBI corruption probe.

Clear the Air at UGA
Uga needs your help to clear the air at UGA!
UGA recently launched a "Let's Clear the Air" campaign to promote the University System of Georgia's ban on tobacco products on all system campuses.
The campaign, which began September 22, advises faculty, staff, students and campus visitors that "UGA is a tobacco- and smoke-free campus," in accordance with a policy adopted in March by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
The policy, which is effective starting October 1, reinforces the USG's commitment to provide a safe and amicable workplace for all employees as outlined in the Georgia Smoke Free Air Act of 2005 and to preserve and improve the health, comfort and environment of students, employees and visitors on all system campuses.
New signage around campus and messaging on the UGA website and via social media will promote the tobacco- and smoke-free campus policy, which applies to persons in indoor or outdoor areas, including all buildings, recreational areas, lawns, university sidewalks, university vehicles and parking lots.
Banned products include cigarettes, cigars, pipes, all forms of smokeless tobacco, clove cigarettes and any smoking device that uses tobacco such as hookahs or simulate the use of tobacco such as electronic cigarettes.
For more information on the policy and resources to promote the policy as well as resources available for tobacco cessation, see uga.edu/tobacco-free or contact UGA Human Resources at 706-542-2621.
Good Eats: Alton in ATH
Notable UGA alumni Alton Brown (AB '04) is coming home to the Classic City on October 21 to kick off the third leg of his "Edible Inevitable Tour."
You might recognize Alton from his Food Network shows "Good Eats," "Iron Chef America" and "Cutthroat Kitchen." Brown began producing his own show in the late nineties when he was dissatisfied with the quality of cooking shows in America. His dream came true in 2011 when he won the James Beard Foundation Award for Best TV Food Personality.
He brings his charm and charisma to his culinary variety show. The two-hour stage show centers around food, includes food songs, a mini lecture/stand-up segment titled "10 Things I'm Pretty Sure I'm Sure About Food" and two very large food demonstrations. One of which creates such a big mess that he gives the first five rows ponchos.
The UGA Alumni Associations wants to give YOU the chance to go see Alton Brown live when he comes to the Classic Center! Check out the UGA Alumni Association's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages for more information on how to enter. Good luck and Go Dawgs!

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes raised red or white patches topped with silvery, scaling skin. The patches are most common on the knees, elbows, scalp, tailbone, and back, but they may be anywhere on the body (including the fingernails, palms, and soles of the feet).
The patches (called plaques) are made up of dead skin cells that form thick layers. The body replaces normal skin cells every 28 days, but in psoriasis, skin cells are replaced every 3 to 6 days.
Psoriasis is not contagious. The exact cause of psoriasis is not known, but the body's natural defense system (immune system) is believed to be involved. The condition tends to run in families.
Small patches of psoriasis can often be treated with regular use of prescription steroid creams. Tar products (lotions, gels, shampoos) may also be useful, although they may increase sensitivity to the sun. Limited exposure to the sun may also help; unaffected skin should be protected with sunscreen. If psoriasis affects the scalp, dandruff shampoo may help. Severe psoriasis can be treated with stronger prescription medications and/or ultraviolet (UV) light therapy.

Runners and Dogs
Do you run with your dog … on leash?

i run with my dogs off leash, we live in rural VT and I run in the woods on trails some of which we've made. we never run into anyone, except for the occasional hunter during hunting season and I'm glad I have my boys around! Right now I run with 2 dogs, a big, black lab mix, Domino and an Australian shepherd mix, Snickers. Our family has been as many as 5 dogs of which 4 used to run with me in the mornings.

I run with my dog on leash because I live in an urban area and mine is not very good with other dogs.I don't mind when people run with there dogs offleash as long as they are behaved and don't approach me and get tangled up in my leash and trip me (which has happened) or jump all over my leashed dog (this happens way too often).
I also use a waistbelt but the one I have is not very good (its starting to fray) Does anyone have any better suggestions for waistbelts?

Whenever I'm out with the dogs off leash and we see a runner, I always call them and put them on leash. I have to stop running and it does kind of interrupt the 'flow,' but people seem to be much more comfortable. Some even smile and give a head nod. We've passed people abruptly w/out the dogs leashed, and even though the dogs just ran right on by, the people seemed a bit nervous about it. I just try to be courteous now, I guess.
For jogging in urban setting I use REI brand 6' leash- very light weight and I can hold or clip it and almost forget its there.

I'm a huge source of amusement for my neighbors when I take my Dalmatians for a run. The spots strain against their leashes and go full out for a mile. Great glute workout (!) but it's a wonder I haven't fallen or crashed into a tree. My chiropractor scolds me regularly for continuing to hold the leash. Where did you get your cool waist set up? Thanks!
Submitted by Julia Kamysz Lane | September 4 2009 | Permalink
I would be mortified if a video popped up of me running the spots! Guaranteed to go viral! LOL Since I'm not much of a Macgyver (there's another old reference for ya!), I'll look into the Buddy system recommended by one of the posters. Great topic!

I like the Buddy System (http://www.buddysys.com/how_to_use.php) hands-free leash system. It's simple and lightweight. I read about it in the New York Times last year. Maybe go back and search their archives--I seem to remember several options for hands-free running.

Until recently I've been walking with my guys on leash up to a nearby park, about a mile away. We've found that by leaving the house around 5:00 am we have the park to ourselves and they can run off leash. The worry has been with the sun rising later and later; it makes avoiding skunks a prayer-filled challenge.

"From the sound of it, for many runners, dogs are a menace pure and simple, and that's too bad."
Well it is too bad, but many dogs are a menace, thanks to their lack of training and their people-partner's attitude towards co-existing with others.
I'm a regular runner and train to compete in my age group but I was a dog person long before lacing up my first pair of running shoes.
I would maintain that your views on this issue, as a runner will largely depend on what the dog situation is where you run. I currently live in dog heaven. I retired to dog heaven from dog hell. Dogs in my new town are plenty and I'm happy to see them, but they are for the most part well trained, well socialized and well supervised. I run 6 to 7 times a week and have never had an encounter with an aggressive dog...here.
Enter dog hell.
Back in dog heaven, my 2 year old Border Collie runs with me on my 3 and 4 mile slow runs. He wears a harness like Renzo is wearing in the photo but I use a very light 5' leash that I hold onto. With the attachment point being on the dog's back, I have better control over where he is in relation to me. The bottom line for us is that we have fun running together but we do our best to ensure that our running has no ill effect on anyone else's trail, path or street experience.

For me, whether or not my pooch is on a leash depends on where we are. There is a trail system by my house that we sometimes run on that is usually deserted at 7:30 AM when we go for a run. It makes her so happy to run off the leash that I let her do so and make sure to stay extra alert for other people that might be on the trail unexpectedly. Should I run into someone else, I get her on a leash and under my control immediately.
Submitted by Anonymous | September 29 2009 | Permalink
The problem with allowing your pooch to run off trail at 7 a.m. is the dog will encounter other pedestrians before you do, probably scaring the bejeezus out of them. Dog owners such as yourself are so wrapped up in your animals you forget that they are just that animals, without the ability to understand social graces. You as an adherent of social rules, I hope, should put your dog on a leash.

My dog gets nervous around strange dogs so I keep her on a leash just in case we run into any unleashed dogs. I have no problem with other people leaving their dogs off leash to run as long as they can control their dogs. Nothing makes me madder than when I am running and an un leashed dog runs up to mine to sniff and play, which only upsets my dog.
Submitted by Emily | September 19 2009 | Permalink
My dog is my one and only running partner. I always have him on a leash, since he can't yet resist saying hello to new people or dogs. Running with my dog is an experience that non-dog people would not understand. We have a deeper bond, I believe, because I take him for the exercise that he craves so much. I love seeing other people running or walking with their dogs whether they are on or off leash, because I assume that they know the same bond that my dog and I share. The biggest problem that I tend to have is not with dogs that are being walked, but with dogs who are loose in their yard with owners who are not paying attention.

One of the reasons I have such a well socialized, balanced, non-agressive dog is because he gets to spend a lot of time off leash with other dogs, children and people of all kinds. I live in an area where runners train for the marathon, so joggers are an issue. When joggers are around, those of us who are responsible owners put our dogs on leash and move away from the path until they've passed. Too many owners are irresponsible with out of control dogs, and that causes hostility towards and problems for all of us.
Unfortunately, most of us only look at the situation from our own perspectives. We all have the right to use public areas, and that means we have to share and respect other peoples rights.
That being said, I've been walking on the path with my dog on leash and had joggers scream at me to get out of the way because they had to run 3 steps around us. They come running up from behind with no warning, right on top of us, and scare the bejeezus out of people. They can be quite rude and irresponsible too.

I try to run with my American Pit Bull Terrier so that he is able to workout some energy. In fact, we've competed in a local Dog-n-Jog competition, and Paul pulled me to my fastest two-miles ever. (We finished in 4th overall.)
The most important thing that I think all dog runners need to remember is their dog's safety. This means that dogs should not be run on collars alone, but should be harnessed in some fashion. In the event that Paul is distracted by a squirrel and wants to dart or we're running a trail and he needs leverage through a stream or that we're running near or on roads, I want to be sure that I can have full control over him in a safe way. Running with a collar alone could injure Paul in one of the situations above.
I'm also cognizant of the fact that there must be some age appropriate guidelines for running, but I'm not sure what they are. I try to pay attention to Paul and realize that just as it takes me awhile to get back in shape, the same goes for him. So I think it is important to pay attention to your dog's stamina.
Finally, after long runs, I will put a cold damp towel on the floor for Paul to lie on, and once he's able to breath with his mouth closed--that is, no longer panting--I try to do some light stretching and massaging of his legs. Before long his out cold.

I love hiking and running with my dog on the local trails. He's been there by my side since he was a 6 month old pup. When he is off leash and runs ahead of me and sees somebody coming from the other direction he turns around and runs back to me and sits behind me.
I agree with what most people on here are saying that is if you can't keep your dog under control while of a leash then keep them on it.

I run with my american bulldog. We just started running this month. We run through a park in town and he is always on a leash. We run in the evening and it's kind of dark. We have a very reflective leash from Nite-Brite. I think they are the best. And I am making some alterations on a construction-worker's reflective vest so he can wear it. I have a reflective jacket. Safety is very important. No matter how much control you think you have over your dog, you don't know what another unleashed dog will do and how your dog may react. We always have the leash ON.

I use a hands-free leash attached to a belt when I run in the streets, but when I run in the bush (that's the majority of the daily route) I let my dog off leash most of the way so she and I can better avoid obstacles and keep balance on the steep, narrow paths. She usually runs just behind me. She is not traffic safe and has a short temper in regard to other dogs barking of her, but the chance of meeting anyone is minimal, and because it is so quiet out there is plenty of time to respond to the rare occurrences (people, horses etc) and put her on leash. Also, she is very obedient and there are no roads/traffic except on one brief point.

Rift Open Beta Starts, Tweet Screenshots In-GameIf you've been curious about the upcoming MMORPG Rift, play it this week. The open beta started today at 10am PST and runs through next Monday. That gives you the whole weekend to get in and check out the game's four character classes and dynamic encounters created by its namesake rifts. Brian took an extended look at Rift last October and found some things he liked on top of a familiar fantasy game. To get going, hit the Rift beta signup page.
If you do spend your weekend in Rift, you'll still be able to Tweet your exploits same as if you were out on the town. Built-in twitter functionality will allow players to update their status with a simple "/tweet" in chat. Screenshots can also be tweeted by using "/tweetpic". So just like that unfortunate 2am snap leaving the club, you can share the moment your group wiped on a late-night raid.
You must be logged in to post.

Anatomy and Histology
Anatomy and histology is the study of the structure of living things. Your introduction to the area is through the study of cell structure (histology) and the basic tissue of mammalian biology and musculo-skeletal anatomy. In senior year we divide your studies into four disciplines. You will study topographical anatomy (bones, muscles, nerves, arteries,veins); neuroanatomy (anatomy and organisation of the nervous system); histology (microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues) and embryology (development of an embryo from fertilisation to fetus stage). Dissection plays a part.
For more information on the program structure and content, view the Science Undergraduate Handbook.
Major outline
The study of anatomy and histology does not begin until second year. In first year, students are advised to study maths, biology and chemistry and one other subject of choice.
Anatomy and histology begins with the study of cell structure and the basic tissues of the mammalian body. In semester two, the unit covers musculoskeletal anatomy and compares living humans and apes with fossil hominids.
Concepts in Neuroanatomy - a broad introduction into the mystery and wonder of the brain - is also offered.
The units offered by anatomy and histology in third year include topographical anatomy, neuroscience and advanced neuroscience, microscopy and histochemistry, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, cells and development, forensic osteology.
Forensic Osteology
Neuroscience: Motor Systems and Behaviour
Cranial and Cervical Anatomy (Advanced)
Cellular and Developmental Neuroscience
Microscopy and Histochemistry
Visceral Anatomy
Course accreditation
Graduates who hold a major in anatomy and histology are eligible for membership of the Australian Academy of Anatomical Studies.
Graduate opportunities
Science graduates who major in anatomy and histology are employed in universities, the CSIRO, hospitals and pathology laboratories, often specialising in electron microscopy or histochemistry. Recent graduates have also become teachers or are employed in the scientific equipment industry.
Further study for major
Rich opportunities for honours and postgraduate research are available in a variety of anatomy and histology related fields including the biology of the retina, the organisation of the visual pathways, the pathways underlying pain, the formation of brain circuitry, the fundamentals of embryonic development, the causes of developmental abnormalities and the molecular basis of muscle contraction.
The Discipline of Anatomy and Histology maintains a large catalogue of specimens for education and research. Research tools include a high-resolution transmission electron microscope and confocal microscope and excellent specimen preparation facilities. Other facilities include automated electrophoresis, high-pressure liquid chromatography, standard histology, immuno-cytochemistry, in-situ hybridisation and surgery. The discipline also houses major museums such as the JT Wilson Museum of Anatomy and the JL Shellshear Museum.

Steph, I LMAO at the text in your siggy.
Steph, I LMAO at the text in your siggy.
I find porcelain dolls creepy. Or any lifelike doll. People would give them to me as a kid too. And my stepmom would display them in my room, I hated it. When I moved out, I kinda just left them there. She tried to give them to me, but I "forgot" them. I think they're in a box at their house somewhere.
I confess that dbf and I went out last night. I feel like the town I live in is so strange. Well, it's strange to me anyway. We went to several different little pubs and we both commented on how everyone looked at us when we walked in the door but no one smiles or says hello. Several times during the night I'd notice a group or pair of women talking and looking at me. I'm not a paranoid person so I know I wasn't imagining it. Dbf also would tell me that when I walked to the bathroom, these woman would talk and whisper. WTF? Who knows. Maybe they liked my shirt. It was very unnerving.
It was just so different in Honolulu, and even in Madison, the city I group in. If you went out, people would always strike up conversations. Even the bartenders were totally indifferent to us. We stopped at one place that is literally at the end of our street. Everyone was drinking out of these nice big glass mugs and the bartender gave us little rocks glasses. When dbf asked why our were different she said the other ones were for locals only.
Like so many tourists are rolling through this town!
Whoa, weird. It sounds like those small towns that are in movies and books where after living there for 20 years, you're still the 'new guy'.
Anyway, you should set them straight at the place down the block from you. But I guess to be *really* local, you would have to go out and drink more...which is probably not terribly likely!
Bridget, I made that chicken soup you posted a while back for the second time tonight. It's so good!
And that sounds like a weird ass bar. Gimme a few drinks and I'm all up in people's business, talking their ear off.
Bridget, when I graduated from college I took this job for the state in this small ho-dunk of a town where if you hadn't been living there for 100 years and didn't know so and so, man forget about it. 3 months was all I could take. That's really weird about the glasses, though.
Dh and I are watching Serenity right now. I had to tell him about the soft porn. He has no desire to see it. I also found it funny that the actress that plays Winter is named Summer in real life.
I'd like to see Avatar, but I'll have to settle on 2D- I can't see 3D since I'm blind in one eye. I took Lorelai to see her first movie at the theater today and she had a blast. I had a blast just watching her. I love that kid. I'm thinking about taking both kids to see a movie next weekend, I really want to see the Princess and the Frog, but I don't know if Griffin will sit still that long. We'll see.
I'm the same way when I go out. Now especially. I'm with kids all day every day and hardly leave my house. When I'm out I want adults to talk to me!
When people do start talking to us they are often like, "Ohhhh, you're the lady with the daycare" or "Ooooh you're the people from Hawaii."
So maybe it's that they know of us that they look, but come one people. Smile and speak.
I just have to share that I had a mind-blowing orgasm tonight...seriously, I cried. Finally!

It wasn't really a recipe. Just to puree the veggies, which really makes the soup. I got a rotisserie chicken (because it's cheaper then buying a chicken and baking it myself.), pulled all the meat off, and boiled the carcass for about 2 hours. Then strain that and add some carrots, celery, leeks, 2 heads of garlic, an onion. You can leave them in big chunks, just cook until soft. Then take all the veggies and puree them. Add back to the broth and add some carrot and celery slices and some chicken. Cook until soft. Serve over noodles. I also made pepperjack and cheddar grilled cheese for dipping. It's soooo good! I'm so glad Bridget shared.
And oh yeah, baby!
I think that I know somewhat were you are at and I think that I have been up that way once...not sure why tourists would be going there either! Did you tell them you were locals and get the better bigger mugs?
Haven't tried bars in my town over on the western side but seems like this town is really pretty friendly.
