Great Belay Biner

Best belay biner I have ever used, it is now the only one I use on my atc. Nothing else to say, it meets all three criteria: inexpensive, functional, and well-built.

Good biner for the money.

I've been using it to attach my grigri 2 to my harness and it really like it. But its not a very big biner to use. The bright side is it's very light since its smaller.
great for the price

great carabiner for the price. i like that is not really big so you can take a bunch of these, and they are not as bulcky and heavy as the rocklock or simmilar
Excellent Belay Carabiner

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I picked up one of these as a backup belay carabiner after I got tired of swapping my Gridlock back and forth between Grigri and ATC. It works great for belaying with my ATC, especially in guide mode. I haven't used it in other applications, so I can't really comment on other uses. But for belaying it's awesome!
Does the job

I'm mainly a gym rat, and use it with my Grigri 2. That said, and in light of my limited knowledge around climbing (versus my other pursuits), the BD Pearabiner works for me.
good all around

really a nice biner. it is light, but not the lightest. sturdy enough to trust for a belay or rap. screwgate is smooth, even when using in the snow.
Good biner for grigri
Member since
Price is great on this biner, and I love BD screwgates, they work so well, even after using them in sandy slot canyons and getting them all jammed up.
I've used this for belay with an ATC, figure 8, and a Grigri, as well as rappelling and canyoneering, mainly with an ATC and figure 8.
For belay with an ATC, nothing beats a Petzl Attache with the rounded stock. The Pearabiner is ALMOST as good, but just not quite as smooth. Pearabiner isn't exactly symmetric like the Attache, which can be good and bad. The good--it doesn't cross load as easily, always stays put, and is especially good for using a Grigri, because it sits in the deepest part of the biner along the spine. I have no doubt BD designed it this way. However, the downside, as opposed to an Attache, is that when rappelling or using an ATC on belay, the rope wears only in that spot, rather than moving along the width of the "bottom of the pear." I have a nasty groove in mine after using primarily on 20 or 30 rappels in Zion NP and some belaying. It's a great biner, with some pros and cons, I'd definitely buy again.
This is my go to biner...

Perfect all-around carabiner. Not too big or bulky; great for multiple clove hitches. Not the lightest, but also not the most expensive. Works well with all gear, Grigri, ATC etc.

The key lock nose works well with the Ropeman 1.
Good, not great

The good:
These are a great shape and size. Fairly lightweight for their size with a large opening and a nice shape. Ropes run smoothly over them and they have a nice linear action, like most other solid gate BD biners.
The not so good:
I have 3 of these biners. Two are mainly used on multi-pitch gear anchor master points, and another used to be my main belay/rap locker. After less than a season I had to retire my belay one because of excessive wear. The other two I used one time to set up a toprope for a few people and they became noticeably notched after this single use.
Overall, there is still a place in my rack for these, but they are NOT workhorse biners. They will wear out quickly. If you are looking for an HMS belay locker, I recommend the Petzl William. Huge gate opening and they wear like iron. The BD Rocklock is good too, if you are on a budget. They still wear a little faster than I'd like.
Leave the mini pears to less demanding duty.

I've used several different locking carabiners and so far, this is my favorite. Really, all BD carabiners have taken the cake as being my favorite. But specifically this one has great gate clearance, yet it's small and light. Can't go wrong here.
slightly over 4 inches

I love the nose on this thing, and here's a sizing pic for you guys!
mini pearabiners are the shiznit
Brent Allen
Member since
This is my belay biner!
It's nice and functional to rap or belay with and bit lighter than the petzl attache' belay biner everyone has. Comparable weights (69g vs 80g Petzl), size, and strength ratings, but the main difference is that the attache is completly round/circular where as this one is rounded on the inside loop and flattens slightly towards the outside edge. This gives it a slightly higher breaking point compared to the attache' and a lighter overall weight. It does have a bit of an issue twisting around on thinner belay loops (like the newer black diamond models).
Major Axis Strength: 24 kN
Minor Axis Strength: 7 kN
Open Gate Strength: 8 kN
I really do like the attache' for rapelling and belaying, but I prefer this BD one overall. Then again, my buddy is the exact opposite. Either way, I do think these are the two best mini belay biners.
Brandon Smith
Member since
Very very very light carabiner. Personally I prefer something a little beefier, but it has yet to ever flaw me. Gate and screw work great and it is very smooth compared to other biners on the market in terms or rap and belay. Good buy.
not my go to
marcello sbrocca
Member since
I must of got a bad one because the gate and lock don't fit the carabiner very well and it was very very rough right out of the store(the screw lock was not smooth, gate rubs on the nose badly etc...)
It was probably a bad one but thats too bad, it gets a bad review.
Great Biner

Dependable, easy to use, even with gloves. Trust it all day long.
Best Belay Biner
Shane Shin

Not too small and not too big. Holds lots of rope inside of it while being fairly light. Rope glides smoothly over the roundish bar stock. Keylock nose is great, you can slide clove hitches right off.

Prior to her work with the Serafins, her debut violin recital at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall received high praise in The New York Times, where the performance was described this way: "Impassioned… considerable flair…a beautifully regulated account of the Brahms…a suitably misty and dark Debussy… clear articulation and unity of purpose." Ms. Ransom was a founding and six-year member of the award-winning Alexander String Quartet during its prize-winning years and rise to international recognition.
In addition to her work with the Serafin String Quartet, Ms. Ransom frequently collaborates with other artists and has presented chamber music concerts with cellist Sadao Harada (founding cellist of the Tokyo Quartet), violinist William Preucil (the Cleveland Orchestra's concertmaster), internationally acclaimed guitarist Eliot Fisk, pianist Sandra Rivers and members of the Philadelphia Orchestra; the Cleveland, Atlanta and National Symphonies; the Empire Brass Quintet; and the Lark, Ciompi, Blair and Vega String Quartets. Ms. Ransom's recent and upcoming recital and solo performances include the complete Beethoven sonatas on series in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Vermont (2010), the Mozart "Symphonie Concertante" (2009), and the Bach Concerto for Two Violins with William Preucil (2011).
A regular guest artist at the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival in North Carolina, Kate Ransom has participated in numerous other festivals as well, including Bang on a Can, Garth Newel, Sewanee Summer Music Festival, Norfolk Festival, Fanfare Festival and Classicopia. During 2010 she is visiting professor of violin at University of Delaware, and she has held prior positions at Lehigh University, State University of New York-Potsdam, St. Lawrence University and Brevard College. She often presents concerts, lecture-recitals and master classes at colleges and universities, having visited scores of locations around the country in this capacity.
Ms. Ransom earned degrees from Yale School of Music (M.M.) and University of Michigan School of Music (B.M., magna cum laude) and pursued post-graduate chamber music studies at The Juilliard School. She was a violin student of Paul Makanowitzky, Szymon Goldberg and Ivan Galamian and a chamber music protégé of the Tokyo String Quartet.
She has been featured on WQXR (New York), WRTI (Philadelphia), Radio London, Radio France and National Public Radio. Her recording credits include the Serafin's recent release on Centaur, and previous recordings for Gallo, CRI Records and the Klavier label. Ms. Ransom plays a violin made in 1728 by the Venetian master Sanctus Serafin.
"Impassioned…the [Ransom/Sirianni] Duo played with considerable flair...a beautifully regulated account of the Brahms...a suitably misty and dark Debussy...Mozart's sonata benefited from a clear articulation and unity of purpose." - The New York Times
"Every note was played so well, every nuance so worked out, that the event was almost like listening to a flawless recording." - The Nashville Tennessean

Hockey. It is the sport our country is known for. After months of negotiations, it has finally returned.
Being a NHL Hockey fan in the last 8 years has been great. The game has constantly been growing with each year gaining more revenue (record $3.3 billion last year), new rule changes and the overall skill getting higher. The league's teams have been fairly balanced with 29 out of 30 teams making the playoffs (sorry Leafs fans). The only problem we had to deal with during those years would have to be the 2004 lockout. I remember it quite vividly.
Brian Burke has been the GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs for almost 4 years now and still hasn't made the playoffs with this team. If you have told him when he came here that he would be in a lottery pick position, he probably would've banned you from ever coming to any press meeting because the idea of that happening is so absurd. Well guess what? The idea came true and it has now been 8 years since the Leafs have ever been in the playoffs. With Leafs fans getting very restless, especially after this season's demise where they were playoff locks at the beginning of February to being playoff no hopes within only a few weeks, they want Burke to do some dramatic moves during this summer but what exactly can he do?
It is June and another E3 has past and gone so I feel like it is time to give my thoughts on it.
Rumors have been running rampant about the date of when the PS Vita will hit stores. Just a few days ago, publisher 505 Games released a press release stating that Supremacy MMA will be coming "in the fall" for PS Vita. This was interesting due to the fact that SONY HASN'T ANNOUNCED A RELEASE DATE YET. So no way a game would come out BEFORE a system has launched right?
Well, Blockbuster decided to add some more fuel to the fire by releasing a flyer in the UK. Here is that flyer:
Yep, Blockbuster is now putting out that the PS Vita Wi-Fi and 3G models will be out on October 28th in the UK. So who wants to take bets that Sony will be announcing the release date soon?
My response to all this news:
Maybe I'll start blogging about stuff here…? We'll see.

SeaSucker Falcon Bike Rack
|(1 Reviews)
Product DescriptionYou can't let your bike lie loose in the back of your truck, and you don't want to permanently mount a rack, so what can you do? Get a SeaSucker rack, of course. Using our incredibly strong vacuum mounts, you can secure your bike in your truck bed without the hassle of permanently attaching any hardware. SeaSuckers are non-marking, UV and weather resistant, and hold exceptionally well to glass or metal surfaces. This rack has a single fork clamp attached to two 4 1/2" SeaSuckers and is designed to be mounted to your truck's rear window. Approximate width: 12".

Strengths: space saver, portable, not permanent, looks cool, reliable
Weaknesses: price
Bottom Line:
I get it...if you have a truck you probably feel that you shouldn't have to spend extra money on a mounting system for your bike. The Falcon from Seasucker has some great advantages over throwing a simple twenty dollar fork mount into the back of your truck. The first thing that sold me was that the rack saves a lot of bed space. You gain a lot of room under the bike especially when it is mounted to the top of the window, not to mention the small gain you get between the back tire, and the tail gate.
If I need to move the mount from one truck to another...no problem, I can get it done in less than a minute. Not to mention it looks pretty cool mounted up. Now I just need to figure out what I am going to do for a lock!
Overall I am very pleased with this system.
Hopefully this small review helps anyone that is interested in this rack. I would say if you are thinking about getting one, just go for it.

At the Center of it All: PepsiCo Mexico Beverages
With 7UP, Mirinda, Pepsi, Manzanita Sol, Lipton and H2Oh!, we have an incredible family of loved beverages that are at the heart of music and sports throughout Mexico. Pepsi, introduced here more than 100 years ago, has a long history of bonding with consumers through music, and that tradition will continue for years to come through the Pepsi Center in Mexico City. With the main concert and event producer in Latin America and a real estate partner, we created a state-of-the-art venue for concerts, expositions and sporting events. Since opening in March, it's hosted some of the biggest names in music—bringing people together for the same kind of joy and fun they love about Pepsi.

text: So I recently purchased a 91 legacy and I am working through a few issues to get her rolling again. First of all I am not getting any fuel to the motor.. I replaced all of the fuel lines and filter it's just not coming out of the lines. Any sugestions? I have checked a bunch of fuses but I'm not sure where to go next. Any sensors I should be checking? I am going to check the fuel pump for operation on tuesday when I get home from work. Any testing tricks? The next problem is the air ride suspension. It is equipped with a HI button that raises it 1.6 inches when pressed. The problem is when the previous owner pressed it last to disengage the height adjustment it settled down on the front and will not raise again. Again I have checked the fuses and I can hear the compressor runnig. Any insight would be most helpful.

I was able to create vectors, however but I don't know if I should share them here. Maybe finished work? Or portfolio review?
Now onto my digital studies. Refs were def used for most of these

The line quality of your gestures looks pretty good overall! I can tell those were done fast and loose. Your beans look good too! I would suggest for some of your imagination sketches and anatomy studies to focus on line confidence. Draw with your arm and wrist, not with your fingertips. Be wary of that scratched/feathered line, make mistakes with authority!

What do you think makes a man happiest?A romantic relationship?Enough Money?A happy Family?Alcohol?or...…??
A recent study by Oxford researcher Robin Dunbar claims a man's happiness, health and well-being don't revolve around his romantic relationship or his kids or even his bank balance. The key is getting together with buddies and enjoying the kinds of things they do together, such as golf. Dunbar said men with those regular outlets also tend to be more generous.
Do you agree? When I saw this news from Msn Now, I was a little surprised. So I'd like to hear your voices on this interesting topic.:) And What do you think a man's partner do that will drive him to prefer to night out with their buddies most indirectly?I hope your view on these would help to enhance the good understanding on men and eliminate some misunderstandings between women and men and bring us more harmony to the world.
Thank you~~(^-^)
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 26 2013: Based on the result of his research, Robin Dunbar says ladies shouldn't stop their boys or husbands from night out with their buddies. So I think if we get the general idea of what truly makes most of the men happiest in nowadays , women can treat men in a more considerate way to some extent.:)
Oct 27 2013: You're right. It'll cause some women's mental problems and social problems if they can't reach an agreement with each other. That's also one reason why I doubt the result of the research.But if the result is true, women should have to give their partner SOME TIME at night to hang out with their buddies to keep their love relationship healthier(avoid suspicion, quarrels..), which could also make the women be happier.
Oct 27 2013: Here I was pointing at double-standards, to which many man I know seem to have a natural tendency and which is also highly influenced by cultural backgrounds and 'expectations'.
I noticed, that many man have no problem with the idea to go out at night without their partner to enjoy themselves, yet the moment their partner does the same, this idea becomes a problem to them, because they fear that their woman will be 'hunted' and 'charmed' by other man.
This fear can cause highly unhealthy 'control reflexes' which often result in unequal set of rules for man and woman and thereby establish those double standards.
Oct 28 2013: I like your proposal of the solution to the conflict caused by men's night out with their buddies. Yes, women can also hang out with their sisters. If women and men have mutual-undersatanding on how to give each other healthy freedom and personal time to do other things with other people, this may stimulate mutual-trust. That's a good idea. Sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder.
And I agree with you the answers are different under different cultural background. I'm always interested in cultrual difference. So if peope want to participate and tell us more about diffferent thinking of the topic, that'll be wonderful enlightening spark.
Oct 27 2013: Hi~ Carlo
I thought men are happiest when they' re in love with their partners or their family. But when I saw the news, I wanted to know why nowadays men would choose to night out with their buddies. Because you want more freedom than love?
And according to the answers here, I didn't see people admit their most happiness lies in love relationship,I think that may be why people say true love is disappearing. Not much happiness, so not much dedication.

SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- The Reserve Bank of Australia kept its key cash rate on hold at 3.25% on Tuesday. Before the decision, economists had been broadly split on whether the RBA would cut its rate. The RBA policy board said "with prices data slightly higher than expected and recent information on the world economy slightly more positive, the board judged that the stance of monetary policy was appropriate for the time being." The Australian dollar rose after the decision, trading at $1.0402 from $1.0367 before the rate call.

BBC America is celebrating Doctor who with a show called the Doctors Revisited. Each show will feature a Doctor in order from the first to the present. One show each month this year. The program starts with interviews and snippets of episodes about that Doctor. Then they feature a classic Who episode with that Doctor. Already they have shown the first and second Doctor. I believe that Tom's month will be this May. Check schedules to be sure. I can't wait !
P.S. I don't know how these shows will be aired elsewhere. Anybody know?

Controversy! Did Tim Poe Make Up His War Injury on AGT?
America is full of patriotic spirit, so there's plenty of reason to show that you fought for the country when auditioning for a reality talent competition. Timothy Michael Poe won over America's hearts last night on America's Got Talent when he shared that he was in an explosion in Afghanistan while on duty that left him with a brain injury and broken back. The brain injury caused a permanent stutter, but he bet the odds and went on to pursue his dream of being a country singer.
His bravery was acknowledged as the crowd gave him a standing ovation. The only problem is Fox News is reporting that there is no record of his injury as there should be. The Minnesota Army National Guard said that Poe was listed as a member from December 2002 through May 2011. From Oct. 10, 2007 to July 15, 2008 he was deployed in Kosovo and spent one month in Afghanistan during 2009. However, there is no record of his injury during this time.
Poe did not claim that he received an award of the Purple Heart for his war injuries, but a representative of the National Guard said he would have received this for such a traumatic injury. There is also no record of this.
AGT and Poe could not be reached for comment. The news source points out that his stutter miraculously disappeared as he sang and spoke with Nick Cannon after the performance.
Do you think someone would go as far for a sympathy vote to make up an incredible backstory like this? It happened on American Idol this year as well with the Gentle Giant.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Prepare for some deja vu in school budget debate
Someone may have some extra homework to do over the Christmas break. The school board last week asked Superintendent Tom Brennan to have at least two budgets ready to present at its next meeting, Jan. 14.
There will likely be a big gap between the budgets. One will be a tax cap budget, which, in keeping with the voter-approved measure, can increase by no more than the three-year average increase in the Consumer Price Index (expected to be below 2 percent).
The other will be a budget that will "fully fund the Manchester district and meet state standards," in the words of board member Art Beaudry, who made the motion at Monday's meeting.
Coming up with the budget numbers will be an inexact science, since one the greatest costs - teacher salaries and benefits - will be the subject of negotiations set to get under way with the teachers union early next year.
But doesn't a "fully funded" budget belong more on Santa's wish list, given the constraints of the tax cap and city's overall budgetary woes?
Board member John Avard said at the meeting last week that the public needs to be presented with this number. "We need to know what the number is that is going to keep us in compliance with state guidelines," he said. "We have to see what a fully funded budget looks like."
And then there is the slim possibility that two-thirds of the aldermen, who must ultimately approve the budget for the school district, will vote to override the tax cap.
If all this sounds like deja vu, that's because something very similar happened last year. Brennan presented a tax cap budget of $152 million, along with a "needs" budget and a "progressive" budget that were more than $10 million higher.
This time around, however, the issue of school funding looms larger than ever, with the uproar over class sizes and the towns Candia and Hooksett actively seeking to get out of the contract to send their high school students to the district.

City Clerk Matt Normand may be one of the hardest working and least appreciated employees at City Hall. But Normand did get a little love at Tuesday's Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting from Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur.
As was reported last week, Dean Mark McQuillan of the SNHU School of Education has agreed to come back and facilitate the school board's strategic planning process, after Mayor Ted Gatsas took issue with some comments the dean made and McQuillan said he would step down. The school and aldermanic boards had voted to send a letter to the dean urging him to come back. That task fell to Normand.
Levasseur was the bearer of the news at Tuesday's meeting that McQuillan agreed to return, and he credited the decision partly to Normand. "It was our outstanding city clerk that wrote the letter," he said.
Here's a sampling of Normand's prose: "The board recognizes the critical impact of your involvement in this process given your experience and asks that you reconsider your decision."
As for Mayor Gatsas, he says there's no hard feelings and he welcomes the dean's involvement. "I'm sure he'll do what's in the best interest to facilitate the school district's long-range plan," he told me.
Levasseur was never one to shy away from controversy. Now he's volunteered his legal services to Alexander Ramasci, the young man who was arrested this month in a Manchester police sting operation in a shopping center parking lot.
Ramasci was charged with misdemeanor theft after police say he took a purse and electronic device from an unattended shopping cart planted by police. Ramasci, who was suspended from his job because of the charge, said he had placed the items in his car with the intention of tracking down the owner.
Levasseur thinks the MPD should have better things to do with its time.
"We hired four new guys for this?" he said. "I felt bad for the kid."
Ramasci's trial is scheduled for March.
- - - - - -
Ready for another election? The aldermen, following protocol, have voted to request the Executive Council approve a special election to fill the Hillsborough District 9 state representative seat. The seat, representing the city's Ward 2, was vacated by Robert Thompson, the Democrat who ran for the seat and then up and moved to Florida.
The primary, if necessary, is scheduled for March 19, and the general election will be held on May 7.
Two candidates have already expressed an interest in the seat: Republican Win Hutchinson and Democrat Thomas Evans, both legislative candidates who lost in the 2012 elections.
- - - - - -
Finally, some good news courtesy of Ward 1 Alderman Joyce Craig. The Dorrs Pond warming hut at Livingston Park will be open Dec. 26, the day after Christmas, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Craig says this is the first time in about five years the warming hut has been open to the public during the winter months.
Unfortunately, Craig says, the pond's not ready for skating, but visitors can enjoy a walk or run around the pond, kids can play at the playground, and they can enjoy a cup of hot cocoa at the warming hut, provided by the Puritan Backroom.
Weather permitting, the warming hut will also be open on Monday, Jan. 21, as well as the week of February vacation. Hopefully by then, says Craig, the pond will be frozen over and people can skate. Happy holidays to all!

With the travel bug in the air, here are some products that are perfect for travel. Whether you are going on a long trip, a weekend jaunt or a day out, it's always good to be prepared.
Anker Astro Mini
We take our mobile devices with us wherever we go these days. But you don't want to get caught with a drained battery, so an external battery is a must have.
This is the Anker Astro Mini, a stylish and lightweight external battery that is less than three ounces. It is super compact -- slightly larger than a lipstick case.
The Astro Mini adds more than one full charge to your iPhone and one full charge to most other phones, so you never have to be disconnected.
You can use these on later model iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones and other devices.
The USB cord and travel pouch are included. They come in silver, pink, blue and black. It is $20 on Amazon. You can also find out more in www.ianker.com.
So you're heading out and you just want to take your phone, some money, an ID, a credit card and ear buds? Here is a phone case for you. This is eyn: everything you need. And it is perfect for anyone on the go.
This is for those days when you don't feel like lugging a big purse. This iPhone case has secure storage for the essentials.
Linda Connolly is the inventor who created the eyn after a trip to Mexico where she wanted to carry the bare minimum and didn't want to be weighed down by a big bag. She calls this a minimalist solution for maximum efficiency. There is even a built in mirror just in case.
They are nice looking, streamlined, sturdy cases that hold all your daily essentials. Throw a key in there, mints, tickets and it's all secure.
The case also comes with a wrist strap so you can go hands-free if you want.
The website also sells lip balm that will fit in the case so you can take that to go too. And the case has a kickstand feature so you can watch videos and chat easier. You can also put it on your dashboard for GPS navigation.
It is $30 and they come in several different colors.
You will find them on www.eynproducts.com.
Mommy's Magic Kit
We all know the importance of an emergency kit and there are many different kinds of emergencies.
It's never a good thing for a parent to be stuck on the road without an emergency kit. Here is one I love: it's called "Mommy's Magic Kit."
Made by Bella Tunno, the kit comes in a great multi-purpose clutch. Inside are 12 products you will need in a pinch: a disposable bib, placemat, potty pad, crayons, Wikki Stix, a game card that suggests ideas for creativity, band aid, baby cream, wash, sunscreen and a wipe.
I cannot tell you how many times I could have used this when my kids were younger. This would be a perfect shower gift.
It is $25 on www.bellatunno.com.
A portion of sales are donated to the Matt Tunno Make A Difference Fund, which focuses on at-risk children and women.

Luna racer
Georgia Gould has been one of America's top cross country racers for years.
This season Gould has shown superb form in the run-up to the Olympic Games in
London, notching three straight world cup podiums. In Windham, NY, she came
within sight of her first World Cup win—having lost the race due to a
heartbreaking last-lap flat.
Gould was gracious
enough to spend a few minutes in the week before Nationals to check in with
MTBRacenews about her recent World Cup success, the fires that are burning
across her home state of Colorado, and her goals for Nationals this weekend.
MTBRacenews.com: You've had a string of near misses on the World Cup
circuit recently. Is there anything you plan to change looking at the Olympics
and the tail end of the World Cup season, or do you just need better luck?
Georgia Gould: I think things have been going really well, I just
need some better luck.
MTBRacenews.com: Luna is clearly the strongest women's
mountain bike team in the world right now. Do you ever plan race tactics with
Katerina and Catherine, or is it every woman for herself out there?
Georgia Gould: Every woman for herself. Obviously if we are riding
with riders on other teams we will work together, but when it comes down to it
we all want to earn our wins.
MTBRacenews.com: In road racing, people make deals mid-race, work for
team leaders, and sacrifice themselves for their team. There were a lot of
questions about whether some of those rules should have applied when Catherine
and Katerina passed you just before the line in Windham. Having had a little
time to process it, could anything have happened differently there?
Georgia Gould: I guess things COULD have gone differently, but I'm
glad they didn't. There wasn't really any way for that race to end well,
and I'm glad my teammates didn't sit up. I don't want my first World Cup win to
be handed to me by someone else.
MTBRacenews.com: On another note, fires have been raging near your
home in Colorado. How are things there?
Georgia Gould: I haven't been home in a few weeks, but I think
things have been tough. Our house is safe, but the fires have hit the community
pretty hard.
MTBRacenews.com: It looked like you were racing on a 29er recently.
Is that true? Why did decide to switch things up?
Georgia Gould: Yes, I have been riding a 29er since Sea Otter. The
new bike has given me more confidence on downhills, and I've really been
enjoying it.
MTBRacenews.com: What's your plan between now and the Olympics?
Georgia Gould: Get faster.
MTBRacenews.com: How did you first get into mountain biking? Have you
always raced, or did that happen after you'd been riding for a while?
Georgia Gould: I first started riding mountain bikes when I moved to
Sun Valley Idaho for the summer in 1999. I'm pretty competitive, so it wasn't
too long before I found a race.
MTBRacenews.com: What do you see as the state of women's mountain
bike in the US? Obviously there are some strong American women on the world cup
circuit, but do you see a generation of riders coming up behind you that's as
Georgia Gould: I think there is some really strong talent coming up
in the women's field. US junior women had strong rides at the Windham world
cup. Several states have started high school mountain bike leagues and I think
that is going to be a great way to develop talented young riders.
MTBRacenews.com: You've crusaded for more women's racing and equal
prize money for men and women. Are you seeing progress on those initiatives?
Georgia Gould: Yes, definitely. I think there is much more awareness
about this issue, and lots of race promoters are voluntarily stepping up and
offering equal prize money for men and women.
MTBRacenews.com: Are you feeling good for Nationals? What's your goal
Georgia Gould: I have good fitness right now, and I am riding well.
My goal is to defend my national title, but I know it won't be easy. There are
plenty of strong women toeing the line on Saturday, and I wouldn't count any of
them out.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I don't know what people mean when they say that pro-choicers don't necessarily like abortion. I don't know what's implied about the people who supposedly like abortions. It can't mean enjoy abortions, because no one enjoys potentially-expensive medical procedures. Does it mean they're happy that abortion is available as a legal option*? It can't mean that, because that's something all pro-choicers should want. Does it mean that they're happy that birth control is fallible? Obviously no one- save a controlling bastard of a partner- would be happy about that.
What I'm worried people mean when they say that they're pro-choice but they don't 'like' abortion is that they're unhappy that women are terminating their pregnancies. And those opinions absolutely do not belong in discussions about choice. What you personally do or do not like should not matter when discussing someone's legal right to their body. Especially considering you're probably alienating the pro-choice women who have had abortions.
I don't care if you're "pro-choice but would never have an abortion". That adds absolutely nothing to the discussion. All you're doing is distancing yourself from the people you're supposed to be supporting. If that isn't your intent, then stop adding the "would never" bit. You're pro-choice. Period.
*Or bloody-well should be available
But isn't that what the word "choice" is supposed to represent? That people might not necessarily agree with it, but...
I'm not trying to argue for "best intentions." I'm arguing for nuance of language in a debate that is heavily polarized...

Do we need privacy?
1. The state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people.
2. The state of being free from public attention.
So, it's a form of freedom. I find it deeply controversial.
Does it mean that we should not pay attention to each other? There are stories on internet of people dying in subway from heart attack in the midst of a crowd passing by.
Is it possible? We leave traces behind us every minute - online, when we use credit cards to buy something, even by walking in the street with a cell phone in our pocket. Why are we outraged or feel threatened when we find out that someone "is watching"? Perhaps, it goes deeper in our psyche that we think or can explain.
What is the difference between privacy and secrecy? When and why do we need them?
Some people put their whole life online. Some are cautious about giving any personal information to anyone. Ironically, we can protect ourselves from oppression and crime both ways.
What's your attitude towards privacy? I would appreciate the links to videos and sources on this topic.

Jun 18 2013: Your question is in the domain of needs and wants! We need air and water to live, but privacy in this context comes under the category of a want, not a need as such!
The differentiator here tho is when it transgresses into the area of criminality....because we don't as a society want to be safe but need to be safe from being murdered or raped etc!
From this perspective, we don't need privacy because it obscures/protects the criminals as we need as a society to be protected from criminals.
So now looking at this we could conclude that if we need water and air to live and a lack of privacy so that criminals can not hide behind privacy so that their actions are public to so then prevent them from murdering us, which prevents us from living, then in this context, we don't need privacy, as it kills us!
As long as what you do is not criminal then you deserve privacy, however when you cross the line and become criminal.... then you need to be ousted and cut out like a cancer.
The majority of people are not criminal, tho that said, it is a whole other argument with direct reference to criminals who could be saved from becoming one in the first place thru a properly managed and administered public works program that targeted key characteristics such as drug abuse etc! : D
Jun 18 2013: Re: "From this perspective, we don't need privacy because it obscures/protects the criminals as we need as a society to be protected from criminals."
You forget the other side. Privacy of OTHERS is not needed for our security. But our own privacy protects us from crime. Being open also protects us from suspicion and government harassment as implied by one of the videos that I quoted.
All in all, as I stated, privacy is a form of freedom. And talking about freedom has no meaning unless we define "from what". This article makes this point very clear http://www.positiveatheism.org/writ/cranston11.htm.
security - The state of being free from danger or threat.
privacy - 1. The state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people. 2. The state of being free from public attention.
We can balance our need for privacy based on the relative value we place on these kinds of freedom: freedom from unwanted attention, freedom from danger or threat, freedom from suspicion of others.
I think, being watched is often understood as being threatened. Perhaps, this feeling is an atavism from our primitive past associated with a gaze of a predator or an alpha-male.
http://land.allears.net/blogs/photoblog/gorilla_stare_st.jpg. I think, this feeling is often irrational.

Capturing the Jubilee, right down to Princess Eugenie's nail polish
The sheer amount of organization and logistics to get everyone cleared with security and into some incredibly novel and interesting viewpoints was mind-blowing.
Rather like the royal wedding, it was very much a team effort and not without its challenges. Twenty-five Getty Images photographers, supported by a team of editors and a tireless picture desk, shot the event in 3D, panoramic, gigapixel and time lapse from every conceivable position.
From Oli Scarff being lashed on the roof of the Tate Modern to Peter Macdiarmid shooting the Red Arrows flyby from the lofty position of the RAF weather helicopter – some really unique viewpoints gave our output on the day a very special feel. Things didn't always go to plan: photographers not only had vast numbers of public to deal with but also last-minute changes to positions and, of course, the frankly horrendous weather conditions.
Despite these challenges however, the team prevailed and created an incredible and historic set of images.
I started my Jubilee weekend on Sunday at 6:30 a.m. on Chelsea Bridge. This was going to be a key position as it was one of the first views of the Thames River Pageant and a good opportunity to get some early images sent across to many of the publications on deadline. From a personal point of view, the Bridge was designed by my great grandfather George Topham Forrest, so, for such a historic event I quite enjoyed the link in to my family's past.
After securing my position right at the centre of the bridge I next had to walk up to Piccadilly where I was due to photograph an unpublicized appearance of the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall at the "Big Jubilee Lunch." With vast numbers of public around and limited transport options I was forced to walk the couple of miles up to central London… and arrived realizing I certainly wasn't as fit as I used to be! Camilla was on top form as always and even presented the excited revelers with a specially designed "Union Jack" cake.
The Pageant was an incredible experience with the cheers and shouts from the crowds making up for the rather damp weather. Each boat as it passed under the bridge was given a rapturous greeting. After the bulk of the flotilla had passed, I was briefed to try and get some images sent out, as these early pictures were key to our coverage, while my colleagues would continue shooting from the event. However, sitting in a nearby hotel filing some of the many pictures I had taken, I did feel more than a little sorry for some of the photographers further up the river – the weather turned what could only be described as biblical!
I was fortunate enough to have been given a ticket to the Diamond Jubilee Concert on Monday. This incredible experience was something I shall never forget. We were lucky for the weather to clear and witness a semblance of a sunset. After much flag waving and some amazing performances from the likes of Robbie Williams and Paul McCartney, Prince Charles's emotional speech to "Mummy" certainly seemed to be heartfelt, and added to the genuine feeling of goodwill to the Royal Family the event generated.
The projections on Buckingham Palace were spectaular – my personal favorite moment was when the building was turned into a block of council flats as Madness played on the roof. The fireworks were an impressive finale and lit up Buckingham Palace to the sounds of cheers from the crowd and Paul McCarney's "Live and Let Die."
On Tuesday I was lucky enough to be photographing a reception at the Guildhall. This was another once-in-a-lifetime moment, as I realized that effectively, I was in a room with pretty much every member of the Royal Family (apart from the Queen and the Duke), as well as the Prime Minister and Prime Ministers and Presidents from all over the Commonwealth. As one of only two photographers in this pool position, it was difficult to even know where to start!
In all, the Diamond Jubilee was an event, the likes of which I am unlikely to ever witness again. However, it's important to bear in mind that whilst the Jubilee celebrations were concentrated around that weekend in June, there are still lots more Royal happenings to look forward to this Year: The highlight, for me, certainly being William and Catherine's and the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall's Jubilee tours later in the year to to such far flung places as Australia, Papua New Guinea and Singapore.
It is indeed shaping up to be a year to remember!

President Obama signed the "Danny Mac" Public Safety Officers' Benefits Act into law last week.
The new law will allow families of volunteer and non-municipal run emergency medical service unit workers to receive federal death benefits if they are killed in the line of duty.
The law, named after was included as part of the government's annual National Defense Authorization Act. It was sponsored by Bucks County Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick.
The 39-year-old Bensalem Rescue Squad EMS worker suffered a massive heart attack and passed away while chasing a suicidal man who needed assistance on Kiansas Avenue in March 2010. Macintosh left behind two young children and a wife.
McIntosh's family was denied federal public safety officer death benefits because Bensalem Rescue Squad—like all Bucks County rescue squads—is not run by a government agency, but rather is a non-profit organization.
"This law gives us the opportunity to right a wrong," said Chris Reif, who is president of the Bucks County EMS Chiefs' Association and Levittown-Fairless Hills Rescue Squad Chief.
Central Bucks Ambulance and Rescue Unit Chief Chuck Pressler said the passage of the law was a "great thing" for EMS. He added that the passage of the law will greatly benefit all Bucks County medical responders because "essentially no one was eligible previously."
"This important measure will provide emergency services personnel and their families with peace of mind and equal protection under the law," Bucks County Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick said after the president approved the law.
Over the past several years, McIntosh's widow, Bethann, and members of the local first responder community have made numerous trips to Washington D.C. to speak with members of congress about the bill.
"I hope [the bill] will prevent families like mine from suffering a second devastation after the loss of a loved one in the line of duty," Bethann Mcintosh said in a statement earlier this year, as she worked to garner support for the legislation.
While Fitzpatrick backed the law in the House of Representatives, Vermont Congressman Patrick Leahy pushed the legislation forward in the Senate. Leahy supported the law in honor of EMT Dale Long who died in a 2009 ambulance crash in Bennington, Vt.
"As a chief, I always think about the men and woman on the road," Reif said. "It now gives me some comfort that if the ultimate sacrifice is made their family can get help adjusting to life without them."

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WSAU) -- A western Wisconsin home was spared from fire by a second simultaneous problem. Several fire departments responded to the house fire near Lake Wissota Friday, and they were able to contain the damage to a single room in the basement. Firefighters say the home had a water pipe burst right after the fire started, and the spraying water probably saved the rest of the house.
There was nobody home at the time of the fire and pipe burst. Most of the damage was smoke and water damage, and can be repaired.

Question: How long does it take November to go from feeling like a WHOLE MONTH! to feeling like oh-wow-only-TWELVE-DAYS-before-we-move?!?!?!
Answer: Not long.
Fortunately, the upside to twelve days is that my writing goals won't have to be set aside for too terribly long. And, oh yes, despite my lofty ambitions, they are being set aside—but only until December 1 (extra week of padding time included for the holidays and the unpacking phase).
Packing can get tedious, but I've figured out something to make it more fun: a color-coding system! You knew I would do that, though, right? Yes, yes, approximately 94.6% of the fun of this packing process is due to mini-post-its, a sharpie, and uniformly shaped boxes. (The other 5.4% of the fun = the satisfaction of seeing quick progress take place, FYI.) My system makes for a very pretty, very organized, transitional period.
How's November going for everyone else? Crazy-busy, like mine? Rolling right along, without problems, exactly as planned? Somewhere in between?
Wish I could write/read all day, but it's back to the boxes I go.
