Grant Statham
Grant Statham is an accomplished alpinist, leading international avalanche expert, and an experienced ACMG mountain guide based in Canmore, Alberta. For over 25 years, Grant has climbed and skied through the biggest mountains in the world with many pioneering first ascents to his credit.
In the 2002/2003 winter season, tragedy struck and 7 Calgary-area students were killed while backcountry skiing in Glacier National Park. As a result of this tragic incident, Grant began his work with Parks Canada as a Public Avalanche Risk Specialist and has been a catalyst for remarkable advances in public avalanche awareness, education and safety in Canada.
Since then, Grant's groundbreaking work now forms many of the systems used in avalanche safety around the world today, and in 2005, he was the recipient of the prestigious Government of Canada's Public Service Award of Excellence for his leading-edge avalanche safety initiatives.
Grant's alpine climbing resume includes The Wild Thing on Mt. Chephren in the Canadian Rockies, SW Pillar of Bhagirathi 3 in the Garhwal Himalayas, All Along the Watchtower on North Howser Tower in the Bugaboos, and the first ascent of Polar Thievery on Mt. Asgard in Baffin Island. In over 20 years of helicopter and backcountry skiing, Grant has pioneered dozens of first descents on mountain trips in Canada, Alaska and Europe.
Grant began working with Arcteryx in 1997 with a close involvement in the initial designs of the groundbreaking, and now classic Alpha SV waterproof shell.
With his interesting adventures and knowledge, Grant brings a unique perspective on risk that blends real risk in the mountains to the risks we take in our day-to-day lives. Grant speaks regularly to groups about a variety of topics including risk, challenge, and leadership and weaves stunning images into his many stories from a lifetime spent in high places.

Tale of Two Clusters Yields Secrets of Star Birth in the Early Universe
The Hubble telescope has provided new insights into how stars may have formed many billions of years ago in the early universe. Hubble observations of a pair of star clusters suggest they might be linked through stellar evolution processes.
The pair of clusters is 166,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud in the southern constellation Doradus. The clusters are unusually close together for being distinct and separate objects, suggesting that they might be evolutionary relatives.
A Pair of Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided new insights into how stars might have formed many billions of years ago in the early universe. Hubble observations of a pair of star clusters suggest they might be linked through stellar evolution processes.
The pair of clusters are 166,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in the southern constellation Doradus. The clusters are unusually close together for being distinct and separate objects, according to Hubble astronomers.
Previously, such detailed stellar population studies were restricted to nearby star-forming regions within the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy. However, Hubble's high-quality images extend these stellar studies one hundred times farther into the universe, out to the distance of a neighboring galaxy. Because the LMC lies outside of our Milky Way Galaxy, it is a natural laboratory for studying the birth and evolution of stars. The stars in the LMC have few heavy elements and, so, their composition is more primordial - like the stars which first formed in the early universe.
A preliminary assessment of the HST observation indicates that these compact clusters contained many more massive stars than expected. "If this were also the case billions of years ago, it would have altered drastically the early history of the universe," says Dr. Nino Panagia of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland and the European Space Agency ESA).
Panagia and R. Gilmozzi (also of STScI/ESA) and co-investigators utilized fully HST's unique capabilities - ultraviolet sensitivity, ability to see faint stars, and high resolution - to identify three separate populations in this concentration of nearly 10,000 stars. (Previous observations with ground-based telescopes resolved less than 1,000 stars in this region.) About 60 percent of the stars belong to the dense cluster called NGC 1850, which is estimated to be 50 million years old. A loose distribution of extremely hot massive stars in the same region are only about 4 million years old and represent about 20 percent of the stars in the image. (The remainder are field stars in the LMC.) The significant difference between the two cluster ages suggests these are two separate star groups that lie along the same line of sight. The younger, more open cluster probably lies 200 light-years beyond the older cluster, says Panagia. He emphasizes that if it were in the foreground, then dust in the younger cluster would obscure stars in the older cluster.
Because having two well-defined star populations so separated by such a small gap of space is unusual, this juxtaposition suggests that they might be linked in an evolutionary sense. A possible scenario is that an expanding "bubble" of hot gas, from more than 1,000 supernova explosions in the older cluster, might have triggered the birth of the younger cluster. This would have happened when the bubble expanded across space for 45 million years before plowing into a wall of cool gas and dust. The shock front then caused the gas to contract, precipitating a new generation of star formation. The massive, hot stars are destined to explode in a few million years, and thus create yet a new expanding bubble of gas.
The findings will be published in the November 1, 1994 issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

This brings to an end my survey of Helen Mirren's early work. I have written in detail about the performances, the plays and the films that most interest me; I leave it to others to write about the remainder. Why choose 1983 as a terminus? It seems to mark a hiatus, the break before the second, transatlantic phase of her career begins. Around this time she experienced her only extended period out of work, and this is also when she got the call from Hollywood to make 2010, Peter Hyams's sequel to Kubrick's masterful sci-fi epic, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's a dreadful film, but it opened up the prospect of a new life, as she describes in her autobiography:
I arrived in Los Angeles and was given the keys to a brand-new Mustang convertible, and a second set of keys to a condo off the Sunset Strip. I was in heaven.
The 1983 General Election, which returned Thatcher to office with an increased majority, was also decisive, it seems: "I just did not like the direction my country and my city were going". If Ivan Waterman, her unauthorised biographer, is to be believed, her failure to scoop an Olivier Award in 1983 for her second – and, in her view, best – crack at Cleopatra was another factor. He quotes a bad-tempered rant (unsourced, like almost everything in his book):
I thought, Fuck it, that's it, they obviously don't want me. They don't like me. They hate what I do. I'll go somewhere else. I didn't have much acclaim. I wasn't being asked to do any work in England. Nobody was actually asking me to do anything. Suddenly Hollywood seemed a way of saying, "Fuck you, England."
A decade and a half earlier, she'd felt more optimistic about her future. The Guardian reported in 1969:
Miss Helen Mirren… has always set herself targets, and her target today is that in 10 years' time she will be accepted as a significant classical actress of our time. If, in 1979, the RSC is the sort of ensemble company she would like it to be, then she has no doubts that she will still be a member of it, God willing. Otherwise it will be a life of guest appearances with Paul Scofield, Eric Porter, Judi Dench et al. "And that," says the very sexy, very ambitious, and occasionally self-deriding Miss Mirren, "would be quaite naice." (Ian Woodward, "A very leading lady", Guardian, 4 September 1969.)
Call me old-fashioned, but, of the two personalities on offer here, I rather prefer the wide-eyed thespian of 1969.

Elwood Haynes, "Grandsire of Gasoline Cars," is born
On October 14, 1857, engineer and inventor Elwood Haynes is born in Portland, Indiana. Haynes designed one of the very first American automobiles, the Haynes "Pioneer." He was also an accomplished metallurgist: He patented stainless steel, stellite and a cobalt-chromium alloy that was used to make sharp dental and surgical tools. Haynes died of influenza in 1925.
After he finished graduate school at Johns Hopkins University, Haynes became the manager of a natural-gas plant in Kokomo, Indiana. The job required a great deal of travel, most of it on unpleasantly rutted and uneven rural roads and the engineer spent many hours fretting over the exasperating inefficiency of horse-drawn vehicles. There must, he thought, be a way to design a machine that could carry men faster and farther than even the strongest horses could.
First, he considered rigging up a steam-powered car, but that would be a fire hazard and require a constant water supply. Next, he considered using an electric engine, but concluded that even the lightest of those would be too heavy. Finally, Haynes decided that he would use a one-cylinder, one-horsepower gasoline engine to power his machine. The completed Haynes buggy (which he paid brothers Elmer and Edger Apperson 40 cents an hour to build) was an 820-pound, open-bodied, push-start vehicle with a chain drive, a steering tiller and 28-inch bicycle wheels. It only had room for one person and could not go in reverse.
On July 4, 1894, Haynes took his horseless carriage for its first long-distance test drive. He hitched the vehicle to a team of horses and pulled it to the outskirts of Kokomo; then he turned it around, started the motor and puttered back toward the holiday festivities in town, leaving the horses behind. "As the little machine rolled along at a speed of about six or seven miles an hour under the power of the tireless little motor," Haynes wrote two decades later, "I realized that a new era was coming for highway travel." The success of his car, he added, "foreshadowed a new mode of locomotion and a coming industry of colossal proportions."
In 1899, Elwood Haynes became the first person to drive 1,000 miles in a motor car. He donated the original Pioneer to the Smithsonian in 1910. In 1995, the car appeared on a U.S. postage stamp.

TK Grasp is the only spell in the game which has its own unique casting cost at 15 AP cast to make an attack
Nah. 15 AP is the cost of attacks made with it. The casting cost is not specified, and therefore it is default.
Again, I may interpret the rules in this case in favor of game balance. You are free to interpret them in favor of unicorns.
Like I mentioned before, all the unicorn has to do is lift the target in the air, and clamp their mouth shut.
Well, see, in the rules as written, the only conditions you can technically inflict on the enemy with Advanced Combat Actions are:
Prone (is on the ground, is easier to hit, needs to spend 20 AP to get up)
Choked (takes multiple turns. Opponent may not Break Free out of Telekinetic Choke, but they may disengage by moving out of sight)
Pinned (can't move, but can take whatever actions they want, just at a -30% penalty)
Also, Science is always used in place of unarmed/melee when making attacks for TK Grasp. Since Disarm is an advanced combat maneuver, this would qualify as an attack
[s]Well using Science for magic rolls is stupid anyway[/s]. The point was that the roll for Disarm is tied to the Science/Magic/Melee/Unarmed and not Strength.
Finally, on the matter:
There are no explicitly written rules for lifting someone into the air and completely immobilizing them with your ungodly powerful telekinesis. That's just something you made up because that's how you think the game should work. Which isn't really wrong. It just means that it's going to be up for the DM to interpret the situation and make a ruling based on that. I'm just going to repeat this again:
If the DM rules that Spell_X can do the Incredible_Feats_Of_Strength, then of course it will be overpowered. Because that's pretty much the DM's duty. The game is being ran by an intelligent (at least I hope so) human being who can always use judgment in these situations.
If you think that rules for wrestling the control of an item apply to Telekinetic Grasp, more power to you! That's your prerogative.
If I, as a DM, decide that they don't apply and use the rules for Disarm instead for reasons of game balance, then that's my prerogative.

Ford EcoSport will arrive mid-March
Update: Ford has denied that the EcoSport will be launched on March 4 as reported earlier on this website. The vehicle is scheduled for a launch in the next coming weeks. Company is waiting to finalise price post budget recommendations. Watch this space. - Ashish Masih
Original report follows...
To answer the question we've often been asked since last year's Indian Auto Expo – Ford is all set to launch its much-anticipated compact SUV, EcoSport, on the 4th of March in Delhi. While the car has been ready for a few months now, the Ford management have been waiting for the Union budget to see if it will have any benefits for auto manufacturers or any new major shocks in the policy changes towards fuel pricing.
Ford is keen to get the pricing of the car absolutely spot on specially considering the fact that the rivals like Nissan are readying a very affordable version of the Renault Duster, which could be a serious competition for the EcoSport in the near future. The company is keen on replicating the success of the Figo, which had undercut Maruti Swift's prices by a handsome margin.
To refresh your memory about the EcoSport's engine specs, it will come with two engine options – the 1-litre EcoBoost petrol that puts out a healthy 120bhp, which Ford promises will be highly fuel-efficient; and the 1.5-litre, 90bhp diesel, that's also found under the Fiesta's hood.
The car will also boast 346-litre boot space with the rear seats up. The top-end versions will get features like Hill Launch assist, keyless ignition, alloy wheels along with ABS and airbags. There's also the all-new Sync system with the stereo that connects to your Bluetooth-enabled phone or media player to play music, read text messages and, of course, make calls on voice commands. Last, but very relevant to our roads, the EcoSport boasts 200mm ground clearance.
Though the American carmaker is keen on competitive pricing it is also aware that it can't afford to cannibalize sales of its own siblings like its Fiesta Classic and top-end versions of the Figo, both of which still sell in generous numbers despite being of different segments.
So, with a tight-pricing rope to walk, Ford dealers tell us to expect prices of the EcoSport base petrol to start at around Rs 5.99 – Rs 6.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This smart pricing is part of the company's smart strategy to take away a few customers from the Suzuki Swift's base versions, which have a waiting period of over a month.
The diesel could start between Rs 6.99-Rs 7.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Ford is also keen on keeping the top-end diesel versions price below the Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) mark since cars higher than this price have to pay higher registration charges in Delhi/NCR (12.5 percent instead of 8.75 percent of the cars ex-showroom price).
With this pricing, it's clear that Ford is all set to take away some customers from premium hatchbacks like the Hyundai i20, VW Polo and even the Suzuki Swift. This pricing will also help Ford have an edge over the Renault Duster, its nearest competitor.
Will Ford manage to do another Figo in this all-new compact SUV segment? Have your say in the comments below, Topgear.commers.

A 'Trustworthy' Social Network For The Occupy Movement: Even If They Build It, Can They Ever Trust It?
from the weakest-link-in-the-chain dept
The role of technology in the wave of protests that swept the world last year is a matter of debate. While some claim that social networks and mobile phones allowed protesters to organize themselves with an unprecedented speed and efficiency, others have seen their role as marginal – or even counterproductive, since these same technologies also allow governments to monitor events with greater ease than in pre-Internet days.
One group aligned with the Occupy movement is situated somewhere in the middle. That is, it recognizes the important role that technology can play, but sees increasing problems with today's social media. The solution, they believe, is to create a new social network specifically aimed at helping protest movements scale up their activities by linking like-minded people around the world:
What we need, at this point, is a platform that allows us to radically democratize our global organizational efforts. In addition to the local squares, we now need a global square where people of all nations can come together as equals to participate in the coordination of collective actions and the formulation of common goals and aspirations. For this reason, we call upon the revolutionary wizkids of the world to unite and assist in the development of a new online platform – The Global Square – that combines the communicative functions of the existing social networks with the political functions of the assemblies to provide crucial new tools for the development of our global movement.
The same post has an interesting list of requirements for such a system, which will be open source. That's certainly wise, since it will allow volunteers to contribute, but it does raise the question: why not use one of the existing open source social networks like identi.ca, elgg, or – perhaps the best-known example – Diaspora?
One of the key differences of the proposed social network from those is the central importance of trust, as this feature on The Global Square in Wired explains:
One challenge that all of the new efforts face is a very difficult one for non-centralized services: ensuring that members are trustworthy. That's critical for activists who risk injury and arrest in all countries and even death in some. To build trust, local and international networks will use a friend-of-a-friend model in Knutson and Boyer's projects. People can't become full members on their own as they can with social networks like Twitter, Facebook and Google+.
Although that sounds fine in theory, recent events in the UK suggest that it might not help much in practice. A year ago, the Guardian broke a story about a police officer there who, for seven years:
lived deep undercover at the heart of the environmental protest movement, travelling to 22 countries gleaning information and playing a frontline role in some of the most high-profile confrontations
Nor was this an isolated case, as another Guardian story reported:
Five of the seven undercover police officers in the protest movement who have been exposed so far have admitted having or have been alleged to have had sexual relationships with activists they were keeping under surveillance, despite claims by senior police officers that this was banned.
It seems unlikely that employing the "friend-of-a-friend" approach to trust would have kept many of them out of the network.
In fact it's hard to see how any social network technology can get around the problem that undercover agents will always find a way to subvert trust systems by exploiting their weakest points: other people. That means that the real challenge facing The Global Square is not technical – how to keep out spies - but social: how to cope with the fact that you can't.

Habitat: Indigenous to Southern and Eastern Africa.
Collection: This plant grows in Africa in very arid conditions. The roots are collected at the end of the rainy season.
Part Used: Rhizome.
Indications: This valuable plant has been found effective in the treatment of some cases of arthritis. This action appears to be due to
the presence of a glycoside called harpagoside that reduces inflammation in the joints. Unfortunately Devil's Claw is not always effective, but it is well worth considering in cases of arthritis where there is inflammation and pain. This plant also aids in liver and gall-bladder complaints.
Combinations: With Celery Seed, Bogbean or Meadowsweet in the treatment of arthritis.
Preparations & Dosage:
Decoction: put l/2 - l teaspoonful of the rhizome into a cup of water, bring it to the boil and simmer for l0-l5 minutes. This should be drunk three times a day. It should be continued for at least one month. Tincture: take l-2 ml of the tincture three times a day.

Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer. This odorless, colorless, tasteless gas claims approximately 300 lives a year and is the No. 1 cause of poisoning deaths in the nation, according to the National Fire Protection Association. If you haven't tested your CO detectors in a while, it may be time for a replacement.
"Three years is usually the end of life for these things," said Illinois State Fire Marshal Larry Matkaitis. "I also suggest testing them monthly."
Matkaitis said there's a warning sound that a carbon monoxide detector will make when it's nearing the end of its life that is often mistaken for a warning that the battery is low.
"When your detector goes off because there is carbon monoxide in the home, that noise is pretty shrill," he said. "But the noise it makes when it's near the end of life is similar to the sound you hear when your fire alarm battery is low -- frequent beeps.
"But any model that was made before 2009 might not have this feature so I recommend throwing out anything older than 2009."
Carbon monoxide can be produced by gas or oil appliances such as clothing dryers, water heaters, furnaces, ovens and space heaters. But Matkaitis said even fireplaces can be a danger if not cleaned frequently.
"If you have a regular fireplace, you need to (check) on the chimneys," he said. "If they get blocked they will bump carbon monoxide back into your house."
Here are some more tips from Matkaitis to keep your home safe from carbon monoxide:
Have a detector on every floor of your home. "You want to get them close to your sleeping rooms," he said. "Sometimes if you put them too close to the kitchen you might set it off, especially if you have a gas stove."
Don't put one too close to your furnace. "Most of the failures are from blocked furnaces and blocked furnace flues, yes -- but our website guidelines will tell you not to put one right next to your furnace, in your garage or in your kitchen," Matkaitis said. "And because carbon monoxide doesn't gravitate to the ceiling the way smoke does, you can have the detectors in your outlets. Just have a battery in there too in case you lose power. The detectors that plug into your outlet with a backup battery run between $20 and $40 and you can find them all over." (This paragraph contains corrected information. See below.)
Don't forget seniors. "Be sure to check in on the seniors in your life," he said. "Just take a walkthrough in their home and check the manufacturing date on the detectors. If you can't find one, throw them out immediately."
Watch for flu-like symptoms. "If everybody in the house is suddenly sick and if you don't have a carbon monoxide detector, it could be carbon monoxide that's causing you to be sick," he said.
If the detector sounds, evacuate. "Get everyone out of the house immediately and call the fire department or the gas company, and they'll bring in a sniffer, which is a handheld detector that (checks for) carbon monoxide," Matkaitis said. "You don't want to take this lightly. If the alarm sounds, get out. Period."
Twitter: @jenweigel
This story contains corrected information. In the original story, Matkaitis said to put a detector near the furnace, but that is his personal recommendation and not the direct advice of the office of the state fire marshal.

Continuing our focus on Australia's vibrant hackerspace scene, this time it's the turn of Canberra-based Make, Hack, Void or MHV for short. Starting out as a geek community in 2009, in a familiar tale of hackerspace growing pains, MHV outgrew Alastair D'Silva's purpose-built three car garage/hackerspace. In an inspiring tale for other would-be hackerspaces, MHV turned to the local government for help and secured a large disused workshop near the centre for town at a knock-down rate. What a result!
"Our original demographic was very heavy with software and electronic engineers," Alastair told us, adding that MHV is adding new faces with additional skill sets. Even now there's a wide variety of projects under way at MHV thanks to members interested in projects from fibreglass moulds to FPGA electronics, Arduinos to DIY pizza ovens.
"I find hackerspaces are a great motivator to actually completing projects, as I tend to leave things in a "good enough" state (or worse) without driving force of having to present it to others," Alastair reckons, adding that he enjoys the community of like-minded members. "They are a great resource for assistance, and also as sounding board to bounce ideas off," he said.
We're delighted to welcome another fabulous Australian hackerspace to the Faire. Make, Hack, Void will be showing off the MHVBoard, their own Arduino clone and presenting details of the MHV AVR runtime library. Alastair will also be presenting a walk-through of implementing simple projects using MHV's home grown hardware and software tools. Geeks miss out at your peril!

There are two problems with the SuperUltraLight ethic.
The first is that it motivates SUL aficionados to develop throwaway gear that may last a season, if you're lucky. I once used a tarp made of an extremely light Cubic Tech fabric (CT0.3.K08, at 11.4 gsm) that blew up in one unfortunate midsummer wind gust in the shadows of the Tetons, while camping at the uppermost campsite near the treeline in the North Fork of Cascade Canyon. And my every attempt to manufacture, take care of, and otherwise use so-called "SUL" packs (including spinnaker versions of the Mountain Laurel Designs Prophet and Gossamer Gear Uberlite G6) made with lightweight spinnaker nylons, polyesters, and Cuben Fibers, has resulted in failure of the fabrics at the seams caused by repetitive stress.
I think SUL gear such as this can serve specialized purposes for the casual hiker, for the hiker who might not care about disposing (and replacing) gear on a regular basis, or for the hiker interested in saving every gram of weight possible for a single expedition (e.g., Andrew Skurka used an ultralight Cubic Tech tarp on his Great Western Loop trek, and I used a Cuben Tech pyramid shelter for the Arctic 1000).
The second problem with the SUL ethic is that it motivates people to apparent insanity, by which every possible bit of function and durability is sacrified for the sake of meeting a weight spec. I'm speaking a bit tongue in cheek about this insanity of course, since I seem to be a regular participant and proponent of it, but I do increasingly value that elusive and ill-defined metric we call the "performance-to-weight ratio".
That's why I was pretty excited when I took my new ZPacks Blast 18 backpack – a heavy duty Cubic Tech weekend pack that weighs a scant 3.3 oz – out of its mailing envelope…
Durable SUL
Joe Valesko, the designer of the Blast series and the owner of ZPacks, made a prototype out of the same fabric (CTK5.18). He put it to good use, completing the 2,600-mile Pacific Crest Trail with it in 2007.
At less than four ounces and roomy enough for a weekend of SUL gear (30L), the ZPacks Blast 18 certainly qualifies as "SUL" by the standard set several years ago by the Gossamer Gear G6, but is far more durable (yet has a similar weight as the first G6).
So, what might differentiate the Blast 18 from other SUL packs is its durability. Instead of the sub-30 gsm Cubic Tech variants found among manufacturers promoting SUL tarps, stuff sacks, and other gear, the Blast 18 uses Cuben Fiber 5K.18, a 48.4 gsm fabric with a stiff hand that gives the pack robust shape, waterproofness, and outstanding durability in both seam strength and abrasion resistance.
About the Fabric
The primary problem with the use of Cuben Fiber in outdoor gear is its seam strength. The fabric is better characterized as a plastic film reinforced by a low-density fiber matrix than conventional woven outdoor gear fabrics, which are typically high density wovens reinforced by waterproof coatings and/or calendaring.
Cubic Tech CT5K.18 is far more durable than its ultralight cousins (e.g., the model CT2K variants) primarily because of its weight, film thickness, and higher fiber density than CT2K.08.
The bottom line is that CT5K.18 has good tear strength (190 lb/in, vs. 105 lb/in for CT2K.08). And, while I don't have data for seam strength or abrasion resistance, my field testing and inspection of seams under load indicates that CT5K.18 may actually be suitable for long term use and thru-hiking. Don't expect a miracle, however: this fabric is still considered ultralight and won't perform to the strength standards of most heavier woven fabrics. Seams will fail over time if you consistently pack heavy loads in a pack like this (I found seams starting to separate in response to the all-day stress of hiking with 35-lb loads), and the fabric is more subject to punctures from sharp things (e.g., thorns and deadfall), more so than woven nylons such as the 210 Dyneema grid ripstops that have been popular in packs by ULA and others.
|1800 cu. in.
|3.3 oz (Base Model)
|$105 (Base Model)
|Cubic Tech CT5K.18
Shoulder Strap Padding:
|1/4" Closed Cell Foam
- Nonelastic drawcord top closure
- Two side water bottle pockets with elastic closure
- Large rear pocket with elastic closure integrated with top side drawcords for compression and securing gear
- Frameless design, no back padding or other structure
- Padded shoulder straps
- Optional build-to-order features are available for extra cost and weight. For example, a full featured pack containing a padded wing belt with belt pouches (1.9 oz, $39), sternum strap (0.3 oz, $6), shoulder strap daisy chains (0.2 oz, $8), hydration port ($4), hydration sleeve (0.3 oz, $10), outside shock cord loops that could secure a sleeping pad or tent horizontally (0.4 oz, $7), shock cord compression system (0.4 oz, $9), top strap (0.4 oz, $9), haul loop (0.4 oz, $2), one ice axe loop (0.1 oz, $4), sleeping pad sleeves (0.5 oz, $20), two shoulder pouches (0.6 oz, $28) would come to a weight of 8.8 oz and cost $251.
My favorite "I can't believe I didn't think of that" feature of the Blast 18 is the circumferential compression cord that serves three functions: a strap for securing tall gear extending from the pockets (such as trekking poles), load compression for the upper part of the pack, and the elastic closure for the top of the back pocket.
Load Carrying Capacity
The base model of the Blast 18 does not include a hip belt, has a narrow profile, and rides high on your back (the nature of most small packs). This creates a bit of bob and wobble, but padded shoulder straps, the narrow design, and high center of gravity makes "heavier" loads (less than 15 lbs) more comfortable than belt-less packs that are fat and short, and ride low.
Assessing the load carrying capacity of a frameless pack, especially one without a waist belt, is sort of a silly exercise. Your ability to carry a load will depend primarily on the strength and conditioning of your trapezius and deltoid muscles. Most casual hikers have not conditioned these muscle groups in a way that is optimized for carrying a heavy load in a frameless pack. In other words, you condition the muscles by carrying the load. My experience tells me that most folks will find 15 pounds acceptable for long distances (e.g., more than six hours of hiking per day), and 20 pounds acceptable for short distances (a few hours of hiking per day). Those with well-conditioned shoulder muscles can usually accomodate 25 to 30 pounds for short distances and 20 to 25 pounds for long distances. Thru-hikers who have been on the trail for several weeks with a frameless pack may find 35 pounds, or more, acceptable at both short and long distances.
I could never recommend a previous SUL pack such as the Gossamer Gear Uberlite (G6) or the Mountain Laurel Designs Prophet 40 (Spinnaker Version) with weights greater than 25 pounds over long distances and durations. However, I think the Zpacks Blast 18 (even at a similar weight as the other two) would be up to the task, and I'd have no hesitation recommending it for the thru-hiker interested in tackling a Triple Crown Trail, assuming they were intentionally careful with their gear.
Volume Capacity
Eighteen hundred cubic inches is not a lot of capacity.
It's generally accepted by our community that it's just enough for a day or two of food and a simple, ultralight kit of summer gear. My summer ultralight kit easily fits into the Blast 18 without overcompressing insulating gear, and in addition to three days of food, includes a 30-degree synthetic quilt, a torso-sized inflatable sleeping pad, a breathable bivy sack, synthetic insulated jacket, rain jacket, rain pants, a two-person tarp, solo cook kit, and other basic essentials. I keep a windshirt in the back pocket, a water bottle in a side pocket, and lunch in the other side pocket.
In the photos for this article, the Blast 18 is packed with a spring kit for snow cave camping, and includes a 20-degree down sleeping quilt, synthetic insulated jacket and pants, an eVENT bivy sack, a TorsoLite pad, a 3/4-length 5mm foam pad (folded and placed against the back panel), a liquid fuel stove and 1.3L pot, and 1.5 days of food, in addition to basic essentials. My snow shovel and wind jacket (which I'm wearing) go in the back pocket, while food, fuel bottle, and a water bottle get stashed in the sides. The insulation of my sleeping bag, jacket, and puffy pants gets a little more compressed with my spring snow kit, but not enough that I have concern about damaging the insulation.
The outside pockets of the Blast are generously gusseted, so they expand sufficiently for the stowage and retrieval of gear without feeling like you are stuffing your hand into a jar of pudding to find something. The back pocket was plenty big enough to stuff the body of a solo single wall TarpTent into, and the side pockets expanded to easily accomodate a full two-liter Platypus bottle.
Gusseted pockets provide plenty of width for the stowage of bulky gear, but not much height. I was not comfortable putting in a tall, 2-liter Platypus bottle in the pocket, and it ended up coming out of the pocket while bushwhacking. I didn't really see this as a disadvantage of the pack, so I simply changed my style accordingly and switched to a shorter water bottle. On this trip, I used one packet to pack my lunch and fuel canister (a large Powermax canister), and the other pocket for my water bottle (a 600ml Evernew bottle).
While marketing on the ZPacks website suggests otherwise, items are easier to retrieve out of the side pockets while on the trail than to put back, because of the elastic pocket closures. However, this is no fault of ZPacks in my opinion, but a flawed expectation of the user. With a pack like this, swinging the pack off your back (even while walking, if you have to) and grabbing something out of the side pocket is such a trivial exercise that to belabor the need to access side pocket gear while on the go seems to reflect fundamental incompatibilities with the ultralight ethic. This isn't adventure racing, this isn't an adventure racing pack, and it's not going to be loaded with enough gear that stopping for a moment to remove the pack shouldn't provide great amounts of disruption to your wilderness experience. If it does, then there may be other problems that have nothing to do with the pack!
When hiking with a pack that weighs only 10 or 12 pounds, swinging the pack off and grabbing the water bottle out of it, rather than inventing new yoga positions to retrieve the bottle from a side pocket, is a preferable modus operandi for me. There is something aesthetically satisfying about tossing a pack on and off your shoulder when everyone else is struggling to load their behemoths to their body.
The Blast 18 will provide enough capacity for overnights and weekend trips for the hiker willing to keep their kit simple and compact, but some discipline will be required in the selection of bulky gear, because volume is limited.
A Note About Packbag Shape and Dimensions
The Blast 18 is symmetrical and uniform, making it an ideal pack for rolling a sleeping pad inside for virtual frame structure. My preference is to fold the pad and wear it against the back panel for padding and to provide some shape that gives the pack more contact surface area with your back, which feels better for carrying heavier loads.
The Blast 18 is a nearly perfect cylinder, which makes it an ideal pack for those that like to pack a foam sleeping pad as a cylinder inside the pack, then stash gear into the middle of the cylinder. I'm personally not a fan of this configuration, but have to admit that unlike most other "shaped packbag" packs that are not cylindrically symmetrical, this configuration works well with the Blast 18. As noted below, depending on perspective, you might find this packbag shape appealing or a liability.
In addition, the Blast 18 carries both small and overstuffed loads well (i.e., a load where the top collar is fully extended, as in the photos), because it maintains a thin, tall shape that does not ride low on the back (an important characteristic of a pack without a waist belt).
Final Analysis
What's Hot
- Durable but ultralight fabric.
- Simple, symmetrical design.
- Gusseted outside pockets provide easy access and meaningful capacity.
- Compression integrated into back pocket closure provides gear security on the sides of the pack as well.
- Drawcord closure provides better volume utilization for the weight over roll-top models.
It doesn't get any simpler than this: a drawcord closure provides the best utilization of packbag volume for the weight, allows for fast and easy access to the packbag, and requires little trim and hardware. Unlike a rolltop closure, however, the drawcord style suffers from lesser protection from precipitation, something that could easily be alleviated if the pack had an option to add a sewn-in top flap or pocket. I dealt with the limitation simply by stowing my gear (as you probably will anyways, regardless of closure type) in waterproof bags. Even in heavy precipitation (rain and wet snow), I never really missed having the roll-top, which surprised me.
What's Not
- Add-on options provide custom build-to-order pack to suit needs but can result in a very expensive pack and can more than double the weight of the base model.
- No option for a top pocket or flap to extend storage and/or keep water/snow out of the drawcord closure.
- Drawcord closure string is extremely thin and may cut fabric of extension collar over the long term.
- Construction techniques and styling reflect classic young cottage "garage manufacturing". The quality is high and the pack is well sewn, but makes use of simple construction techniques that limit shaping and styling options.
Market Comparison
I think it's important to consider the ZPacks Blast 18 in context with its primary competitor, the Gossamer Gear Murmur (Mountain Laurel Designs was not manufacturing a sub-30L SUL pack at the time of this writing, but they were offering a more richly-featured pack also made with Cubic Tech CTK5.18, the 2009 Revelation, which is heavier and more durable than the previous 2006 model that we previously reviewed).

|6.2 oz
|Excellent (1.5 osy Cubic Fiber CT5K.18)
|padded shoulder straps, winged hip belt, sternum strap
|two side pockets, one back mesh pocket, rolltop closure, cord compression
The relative strengths of the Blast 18 are its weight and durability, while the Murmur offers more features at a lower cost. The Revelation offers greater capacity, more refined styling, and when compared to the scenario of adding options to the Blast 18 that match the features of the Revelation, the Revelation comes in slightly less expensive.
Unfortunately, I find it hard to justify spending more than $100 on such a small pack that requires little in the way of sophistication to effectively carry light loads, but in the absence of other options, my personal choices do lean towards the more durable packs, because I'm more confident of their longevity, an important consideration for me as I continue to pursue a lighter and simpler lifestyle.
I found myself not wanting much after using this pack. I did replace the drawcord closure with a thicker string because I have found very thin strings abrade and cut through Cubic Tech fabrics over time. The weight penalty for replacing the string was negligible.
My only complaint with the pack is in its packbag shape. While the sausage design (symmetrical cylinder) works well for enclosing a rolled-perimeter sleeping mat (into the center of which gear is stowed for stability), it's not particularly stylish and doesn't rest against your back when fully loaded as well as it could. Carrying the Blast 18 stuffed to its gills feels a bit like hauling a log on your bag (albeit a soft, light one), because it does sort of roll and bobble here and there. I was able to mitigate this effect somewhat by folding my foam pad into thirds and using it as a virtual frame against the back of the pack, but for this to work most effectively, I would have prefered a slightly wider packbag. In addition, I'm a fan of packbags that taper from a smaller cross section near the bottom to a larger cross section near the top, because they accomodate widely varying load capacities a little better (although, this is less of an issue with such a small volume weekend pack like the Blast 18).

Training Tips from the Medical Directors
Congratulations on signing up for the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon & Half-Marathon! Whether this is your first marathon/half-marathon or you are a seasoned veteran, this event requires training, preparation, and confidence to go the distance. As experienced endurance event participants ourselves, we understand the work that has gone into the last several months. But as physicians, we also have an understanding of the risks that are present in such an event.
A marathon should be a fun event, one that you will enjoy and hopefully want to do again. The event is best when it is safe and runners can avoid injury and problems. The race organizers have made every effort to keep this event safe – now all you need to do is prepare yourself as well. The miles have already been logged, now the task is at hand to get through the 13.1 or 26.2! Keep these tips in mind:
Remember these tips and you are well on your way to a successful day and avoiding a visit to the medical tent! Anticipate the ups and downs of a long run and you will make it to the finish.

Good luck and have fun out there!

Graphic Organizers
Graphic organizers help students develop an awareness of the various structures found in informational texts to improve comprehension and recall. Graphic organizers are pictorial arrangements of ideas showing major ideas connected by supporting details through geometric shapes, lines and arrows. Once students have been trained in the use of graphic organizers and have an understanding of text structures, they can create their own as needed.
- Choose a graphic organizer to use.
Read a text or complete a unit of study.
- Complete the graphic organizer. The type of graphic organizer used will dictate how it is completed.

Dear Visitors,
Greetings! It is our pleasure to welcome you to the new version of our Muslim Heritage website. We have switched it on for a trial period. During the next 3 months we hope to collect visitor's views to enable us to improve its design, functionality and colour scheme. Your assistance in providing us constructive criticism will be highly appreciated.
Since 2006, the Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation (FSTC), through its projects 1001 Inventions, Muslim Heritage, and Curriculum Enrichment for the Future (CE4tf), has aimed to alleviate the 1000 years gap of forgotten scientific, technological and civilisational advances that took place in the non-European world during the classical age (roughly from 700 to 1700 CE). We chose to refer to it as "Muslim Heritage" as an abbreviation for the "Muslim heritage of Europe," that is what Europe has learnt and inherited from other civilisations through its encounter with the World of Islam.
The Foundation's main initiatives have been hugely successful. The large scale 1001 Inventions exhibition had been declared the world's best cultural exhibition by the European museums Industry in 2011, and enjoyed blockbuster residencies in London, New York, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Istanbul, and Abu Dhabi, prior to visiting Jeddah. The exhibition has also recently visited Sweden and Malaysia, with more than 3.5 million people coming to visit the exhibition to date in its different venues, becoming a brand in itself. Another successful subsidiary of FSTC, the CE4tf, has been working on enriching syllabus within and outside the UK by creating teacher's lecture packs, lectures, presentations and much more. Muslim Heritage, the academic web portal of our organisation, has been equally as successful, with a large readership from all over the world boasting of hundreds of peer reviewed articles and attracting thousands of visitors on a daily basis!
While Muslim Heritage has been highly successful and has maintained the market lead, the technology used by the web portal platform had become outdated and the portal lacked fast interactivity and could neither support the demands of modern social media nor the 70,000 bibliographic dBase, named as "MASDAR SEARCH" alongside other features. This is why we have developed a new Muslim Heritage website and it is our pleasure to announce that we intend to officially launch it after this trial period. The new Muslim Heritage is a state-of-art web portal that includes outstanding user-oriented features: easy to navigate, reader friendly and attractive interface without loss of academic rigour.
Once you scroll further down from the categories bar on the home page, your eyes may be averted to the new "Scholars A-Z" and "Anniversaries" features, which have been introduced and are part of the "People" tab. These features shed light on often overlooked but crucially important scientists and their accomplishments in their respective fields. Moreover, there may not be available at present corpuses of work the said scholars contributed to, however, it is just as important to acknowledge what little we do know about these formidable scientists.
Other features within this category include the "Authors" and "Featured" options. The "Authors" section pays homage to the contributions of scientists/scholars post 1700 CE up until this present day. The "Featured" category brings a rich mix of past and present articles, multimedia videos alongside photo galleries and much more so as to bring these rich efforts made by exceptional scholars, past or present, together. In an effort to further emphasise these featured scholars, the anniversaries section outlines upcoming scholar's birth and death anniversaries.
You may also note the new tabs entitled "News" and "Books" adjacent to the "People" tab. The "News" tab grants users the opportunity to access past, current and future events that FSTC and its affiliates have partaken/will partake in. What is more, the "World Events" highlights important news articles and a calendar of Muslim heritage related meetings, conferences and events.
The "Books" tab includes digitised manuscripts and their explanations in the "Manuscripts" section, alongside books that FSTC and its affiliates have published. The "Review" section includes reviews on books associated with Muslim heritage written by distinguished authors.
Additional features which enhance the users experience on the new website include the "Multimedia" and "Community" tabs. Taking into consideration different learner types, the "Multimedia" tab offers audio and visual learners the opportunity to conduct subject specific image and/or video searches in respective image or video galleries. Thus, catering the learning and sharing experience of Muslim heritage more accessible to individuals from all backgrounds.
As the world is becoming more globalised through the use of online mediums such as Facebook, YouTube, twitter and various blogging sites, the "Community" tab aims to link Muslim Heritage with social media. This will in turn create a rich community bond and discourse as users will be able to share information on the Muslim Heritage website with family, friends and peers around this extremely important but often unremembered subject.
Although we are constantly updating the website, we hope that this website enriches your knowledge and whilst at the same time provides you with a delightful experience. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and hope you enjoy navigating yourself around!
Warm regards,
Professor Mohamed El-Gomati OBE
Chairman, FSTC
The Editorial Board

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Our family farming history began with my great-great-... (nine generations ago) grandfather Johannes. He, his wife and three children left Saxony, Germany, on April 20, 1734, aboard the ship St. Andrew, mastered by Capt. John Stedman. They landed at Philadelphia on Sept. 22 and eventually settled our family's first "New World" farm near Society Run in Frederick Township, Montgomery County, Pa., in 1743. Pig farming was our family's specialty until the mid 1950s. A lot has changed since then. Our BQA cow–calf operation includes 100% grass-fed registered Red Angus, Hereford and purebred Beefalo; 30 to 35 pastured Duroc and Spot pigs; 100 Freedom Ranger broilers; and 90 Golden Comet and Buff Orpington layers. We organically maintain 80 acres, comprising 15 acres in rotational pastures, 15 acres in tillable cropland, and alfalfa/mixed grass hay on the balance. We have never used chemical pesticides or herbicides on our pastures or hay fields. We are not a "certified" organic farming operation, but we prefer the natural/organic approach to help promote sustainability.
Thanks alot Randy, tearing apart my business too.
Your from Bradford PA? No wonder.
try ryegrassvarieties with the AR1 endophyte if you are after high animal and acre yeilds this stuff handles Western PA lake effect wonderfully. 6-7 tons dry matters.
