Unique attractions include the NZ Fighter Pilots Museum, world famous Stuart Landsborough's Puzzling World and Great Maze, the much photographed Rippon Vineyard, and of course the world-renowned annual Rip-Curl World Heli-Challenge as well as the bi-annual Warbirds over Wanaka.
Scenic flights - fixed wing aircraft and helicopters - operate from Wanaka and Makarora for the West Coast, Mt Aspiring National Park and Milford Sound. Close-up views of awesome glaciers, mountains, lakes, waterfalls, fiords.
Golf, fishing, jet boating, day treks and four wheel drive tours cater for active visitors.
Garden tours, art and craft tours, and photographic safaris are here for those who like quiet discoveries.
The Wanaka Region
Wanaka's central South Island location in the heart of the high country Southern Lakes district makes it an ideal holiday base, and a destination, not a detour.
Travellers to Wanaka are well placed for access to the West Coast, Mt Cook National Park, and Fiordland. A leisurely drive to Queenstown takes an hour and a half.
Daily scheduled coach and shuttle buses will take you to the West Coast, Christchurch, Dunedin, Mt Cook, and Queenstown,
Scenic flights will take you through spectacular alpine scenery to Mt Aspiring, Mt Cook and Milford Sound.
This in-town retreat is set in a peaceful oasis, away from Wanaka's main roads and lively bars, but is still only a 3-minute stroll from the Town centre.
There is full access for our disabled guests. Corporate travellers will find comprehensive business facilities - including a laptop and the internet - at their disposal.
Tea/coffee/snacks are available 24 hours from the Dining Room.
Should you wish, we will organise tours, activities and wilderness adventures to suit your needs exactly. Whatever it takes, we'll make your stay in Wanaka a truly memorable one.
And you'll also be happy to discover that many of the little things that make your stay so special will not cost you any extra!

Improper de-icing procedures led to an accident that substantially damaged a Flexjet Challenger 300 last winter at Chicago Executive Airport, according to the NTSB. The Safety Board concluded that the operator of the de-icing vehicle did not adhere to company procedures and did not maintain clearance between the vehicle's boom and the airplane during the de-icing operation.
Three helicopters being used to warm crops against cold temperatures and frost overnight in Western Palm Beach County, Fla., crashed in the early morning hours of December 8 in separate accidents between 2:10 and 7:40 a.m. The accidents involved two Robinson R44s and one Bell 206L-3. Only the pilot of the 206, the most extensively damaged of the three aircraft, sustained serious injuries.
It should go without saying that private jet passengers generally enjoy more space, more comfortable seats and more advanced cabin systems than their airline counterparts. But the benefits of all these luxuries can be badly undermined by inadequate humidity levels in the cabin that can make the VIP traveler as weary as an economy-class pauper at the end of a long flight.
Quest Aircraft yesterday received approval from the FAA for the Kodiak turboprop single's ice protection system, meaning the aircraft is now able to fly in known icing conditions. According to the Sandpoint, Idaho-based aircraft manufacturer, the glycol-based TKS system has been installed on three Kodiaks to date.
The FAA's Draft Advisory Circular 20-147A released last month provides new guidance to aircraft manufacturers on compliance with regulations covering engine induction system icing and engine installation ice requirements. Comments on the draft AC are due by November 1.
Progression in the development of both aircraft and their systems have made it so that in many cases pilots manage the systems more than they handle the airplane. However, old-fashioned piloting skills remain as essential as ever since such systems can be affected by interference from outside sources such as the sun–a vulnerability that might rear its head quite soon.
Pilots who like the XM satellite weather products WxWorx delivers to cockpit displays might like to access the same weather products on their office or portable computers. WxWorx has released the new WxWorx Online QuikLink subscription service so pilots can do just that. Like the airborne products, the QuikLink online service comes in three sizes and monthly fees, Wings ($14.99), Wings Plus ($24.99) and Wings Elite ($49.99).
No one likes to endure the sticky feeling of excess humidity, but lack of humidity in aircraft cabins at altitude can be a major cause of discomfort and travel fatigue.
In its just-released world commercial helicopter market report, research firm Frost & Sullivan expects the segment to expand from 24,625 helicopters in 2009 to 36,946 in 2015.
Honeywell won a $49 million contract to upgrade the National Weather Service's ground-radar, wind-profiler network that will predict severe storms earlier and provide more accurate warnings of upcoming storms. Honeywell's work on the production phase of the next-generation NOAA wind-profiler network includes upgrading the NOAA network of wind profilers that provide upper air wind data for crucial weather forecasting tasks.

No, Arnold is NOT "special guest" for GOPer Abel Maldonado fundraiser
Republican former Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado is touting a "special guest" at his big Congressional campaign fundraiser tonight in Shell Beach – and his Democratic opponent, incumbent Rep.

First GOP political ads land, calling health care a tax (VIDEO)

Yes, Virginia, employers could drop health coverage
A penalty is a tax. Now that we've cleared that up, let's go to another question about Obamacare, one that Democrats are downplaying and Republicans are manipulating.

So how many Americans could be "mandated" to buy health insurance?
Here's a key stat to remember in the wake of the Supreme Court's health care ruling, which left the individual mandate intact: According to a March study by the Urban Institute, if the health care law "were in effect today, 94 percent of the total population….would not face a requirement to newly purchase insurance or […] [Read More]

By DAN FREEDMAN and ELIZABETH TRAYNOR Hearst Newspapers Washington Bureau Just after 9 a.m. CDT, as Chief Justice John Roberts began to wind in to his summary of the Supreme Court's landmark health-care opinion, he could hardly suspect that some in the media already were misreporting it.

The Prophet Like Moses
Thought for the Week:
Our sacred text is the record of revelation left to us by the prophets. The greatest of the prophets is Moses, therefore the Torah is the greatest source of revelation. Yet the Torah itself speaks of another prophet, a prophet equal to Moses…
Deuteronomy 18:15–19. In Deuteronomy 18 Moses told the Children of Israel that the LORD would one day raise a prophet "like me from among you, from your own countrymen." (18:15)
Messiah is the prophet like unto Moses. Therefore the life and ministry of Moses serve as a Messianic prototype that the ultimate Messiah is expected to reflect. The Midrash often refers to Moses and Messiah, respectively, as the First Redeemer and the Ultimate Redeemer. As a prophet like Moses, the life and work of Messiah must reflect the pattern set by Moses.
Both Moses and Messiah are born in a tim…

(belt lipectomy)
People who have undergone a gastric bypass operation request a lower body lift more often than any other procedure. It is a more extensive form of the tummy tuck that removes excess skin from your abdominal area as well as from your back and also helps lift sagging buttocks and thighs. Thus, it includes the tummy tuck, outer thigh lift, and buttock lift. Normally, you will spend one night in the hospital post-operatively and go home with an incision along your waistline all the way around your body.

I love iced tea, but I've seriously cut back after having the joy of passing a kidney stone. It's not like coffee or tea have less chemicals, they just have different ones, and depending on your own health factors, not necessarily better ones.
Definitely going to second the recommendation for fruit when it comes to snacking, although even better might be snack-size vegetables. I'm a big fan of those little bite-sized carved carrots.
FWIW Iced tea was considered a likely cause/contributor of my kidney stone, too. I'd been drinking big Arizonas daily for at least a year beforehand. I don't drink it anymore and haven't had another one... it's been about 10 years now... could be mere coincidence. But considering that mine *didn't pass* (horrific pain, made oxycontin seem like a joke - that was when I knew the ER was my destiny) I was willing to change any behavior. Downgrade away peeps, obv off topic. ;)

Ice tea is a totally different cup of tea then tea. The added sugar and artificial acids makes Ice Tea more threatening to your teeth then old time favorite teeth destroyer Coca Cola.
So.. ya... I can imagine it does wonders to your internal chemistry.
I think a lot of people have gotten used to non-food. Actual tea with actual lemon is good for you. Tea has antioxidants and lemon (you know, the real fruit) had vitamin C. Too much lemon will eat away your teeth as well, but in a healthy self-made beverage your body will warn you against too much lemon, because guess what: it will taste too sour.
The non-food we eat nowadays is full of stuff that masks our natural instincts: even a dog-turd with enough sugar will taste fine.
Make your own food from real ingredients and you'll be fine.
Dameblanche hit it right on - commercial and designer iced tea is pretty bad for you, and can have the effects that you describe. It also usually has High Fructose Corn Syrup which I believe masks your bodies indication that it is full, which can lead to weight gain. Fresh brewed tea is rich in antioxidants and really makes you feel happy, especially if you don't load it down with milk (extra fat and calories) and sugar (extra sugar that can lead to weight gain). I have a few favorites that taste great sugarless and milkless that I get from www.adagio.com. It's not dirt cheap but it's also not financially gutting. Expect to pay 40-60 cents a cup on the high grade tea (how much do you get 60 cents at starbucks?) and 10-20 on the lower grade stuff like Earl Grey. My two staples aside from an herbal blend of Chamomile, Lemongrass and Peppermint are Golden Yunnan, a peppery chinese black tea and Jasmine (Jasmine #12 or Jasmine Pearls). These are both on the higher grade and more expensive side but you're still getting more for your money than a cup of Tazo at starbucks.
TLDR; I highly suggest real, fresh brewed tea over grocery store brand sugar tea!

Described as a super-lightweight sports tourer that showcases organic synthesis, the Nissan iV is an innovative zero-emissions vehicle that fits into Nissan's vision of seeing a world where green energy infrastructures have matured and become their own self-sustaining system.
As Nissan's official entry into the LA Design Challenge, the iV is the offspring of both nature's intelligent beauty and the minds and hands of human ingenuity. Contrary to how cars are currently built, the iV's parts are cultivated similar to how it's done today in agriculture using a sustainable, carbon-neutral process.
Nissan is keeping line with the requirements of this year's LA Design Challenge – an emphasis on building lightweight vehicles while minimizing the consumption of our planet's resources – building the iV Concept using an interwoven organic frame with the chassis material – a fast-growing ivy and re-enforced with spider silk composite - being synthetically grown and formed to turn into a piece of strong yet extremely lightweight aerodynamic body. The vehicle's interior, which seats four people, is made from photovoltaic material that remarkably weighs 99% less than standard glass.
The iV Concept also has a slim bio-battery that provides the car with tremendous stability and driving range that works through a regenerative super-capacitor technology, recouping as much as 60% of kinetic energy used by the vehicle.
Nissan also outfitted the iV Concept with state-of-the-art safety features, including the brand's Safety Shield program that prevents collisions from happening and greatly reduces the weight of the vehicle by taking out a number of parts standard in today's cars, including bumpers, airbags, and even beams.
Using the age-old adage that 'less is more' Nissan's iV concept is the perfect example of a vehicle that inspires a future where cars are known less for their gas-guzzling ways but more for their unbridled efficiency, both in aesthetics and in performance.
Press Release after the jump.
Press Release
Nissan iV
In 2010, the innovative Nissan LEAF is introduced as the first mass-market electric vehicle (EV), planting seeds for Nissan's vision of a zero-emissions future. Fast-forward to 2035: EVs and the green energy infrastructures that power them have matured into a fully sustainable system, bringing this dream to life.
Infused with Nissan's heritage of sports and performance, Nissan iV is a high-performance EV inspired by nature's intelligent beauty and crafted by human ingenuity. The iV is a super-lightweight sports tourer that showcases "organic synthetics," a revolutionary manufacturing technique in which automotive parts are cultivated like agriculture in a 100% sustainable, carbon-neutral process.
Less is more. Every detail of the Nissan iV is engineered toward renewable, lightweight strength and maximum efficiency. Featuring an interwoven organic frame, iV's chassis material is synthetically grown and formed into a stunning, aerodynamic shape. Derived from fast-growing ivy and re-enforced with spider silk composite, the biopolymer frame is flexible and ultra-light, yet extremely robust. The spacious, panoramic cabin comfortably seats four adults and is constructed from an innovative photovoltaic material that weighs 99% less than traditional glass. While the canopy collects solar energy, it also provides protective safety and unique, open-air views of the outdoors. Underneath it all, a slim bio-battery provides stability and a near limit-less range made possible by regenerative super-capacitor technology that recoups 60% of kinetic energy spent.
Nissan's patented concentric hub-less in-wheel motors not only propel iV, they do triple-duty by functioning as the vehicle's steering as well as its suspension system, via magnetic levitation and propulsion. Concentric magnetic rings amplify rotation with each outer ring to boost high-speed performance and provide independent wheel control for ultimate handling and maneuverability. Inspired by schools of fish and their fluid movement, Nissan's pro-active Safety Shield™ renders collisions a thing of the past and reduces weight by eliminating the need for heavy structures (bumpers, beams, airbags, etc.).
Through industry-leading technology, Nissan iV maximizes the driving experience by eliminating excess. Nissan fulfills a deep nostalgia for the joy of driving with a strikingly beautiful EV that can deliver electrifying, agile performance with zero-guilt.

A grading plan is a drawing of a proposed construction site showing existing and proposed topography, environmental controls, demolition and improvements to the land.
A grading plan is required for projects proposing grading work that meets one or more of the following criteria:
Some exemptions from these requirements are allowed. Applicants are encouraged to contact Engineering Department staff to find out if their project qualifies for an exemption.
All grading plans must be prepared by a registered professional engineer in accordance with City Engineering Standards and the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Each grading plan must include provision for protective measures for the control of urban pollutants, erosion, and sedimentation.
Work done pursuant to a city approved grading plan must be secured by a Grading and Erosion Control Agreement to guarantee performance of the grading work in compliance with the grading plans. The city engineer may waive the requirement for a secured agreement or waive all or any portion of the security amount; provided however, that any reduction in security will not extend below the amount needed to ensure public safety and to secure the site against erosion.

I normally hate to criticise but wow that is bad writing. I know it's a live blog but compared to yesterday's efforts it's atrocious. It's just the notes a writer would make about the panel without being tidyed up at all and put into proper sentances. Hope this is going to get re-worked once the panel is over.

Effect of Monetary Intervention in the Frame of IS-LM Model with Dynamic Price Adjustment and Adaptive Expectations
AbstractAn assumption that a central bank can influence the real interest rates is the object of our interest. In the paper we form and solve a model which corresponds to Romer´s (2000) assumptions. Our model is IS-LM augmented by a conception of price-adjusting after monetary intervention and inflation expectations. A monetary policy rule is derived from the model. Moreover, it offers a demonstration of economic behaviour by different economic assumptions of different economic schools, similar to one in the book of Heijdra (2002).

I came across this beautiful illustration by Tove Jansson, author, painter and illustrator. She is perhaps best known for her Moomin characters from her books and comic strips.
I have always loved the Moomin illustrations, and in particular Tove's unique drawing style.
I have found that her drawing style translates well in to embroidery and I have already embroidered two of her illustrations in black and white. I have decided that this particular illustration of Moomin, Thingumy and Bob and the kings ruby will be next embroidery piece.
The second image is the first embroidery I made of the Snorkmaiden and the Fillyjonk from Moominsummer Madness.

Jeff Mangum is VEGAN!? And he's on TOUR!? Get a rope! »
You know, so we can all tie him up and marry him. The genius man-boy behind every hip-and-cool person's favorite band Neutral Milk Hotel* is on tour, which is something he hardly ever does. Except for the animals BECAUSE HE'S AN AWESOME VEGAN. Of course he is! Look at him cuddle that chicken! I can't wait for him to perform at our wedding when I marry him!
Because I think we should all get to marry him. I think he'll love that because he's not an intensely private person, or anything. You can't escape love, Jeff. Especially when it clubs you on the head and keeps you hostage in an XL dog crate in the basement.
So, let's all go see him! Tickets are on pre-sale now but the password is "layover" so SEE YOU THERE.
Finally, no disrespect, but I totally think Jim Carrey could play him in his biopic. Okay, I guess that was a little disrespect.
*who isn't Azealia Banks. Lick those gums, lady! Really get in there! Also, love when she does the fake stairs thing. Also, don't watch this if you hate swears because SHE LOVES SWEARS.

Countless reasons to love Emily Deschanel today! »
I think Emily Deschanel might be my favorite celeb vegan these days. Why, in no particular order:
A.) She comes off very articulate and super-intelligent
B.) Her deadpan sense of humor is hysterical.
C.) Her little sis is Zooey Deschanel, who may not be vegan, but adores and spreads the word about Babycakes, and has the most perfect bangs ever (among many other things).
My new obsession began when I stumbled across the first episode of Order, She Wrote, featured on Hello Giggles.
I'll come over for a straw-mat-sitting, eating-with-my-hands, raw-vegan-dinner, Emily! CALL ME.
Then, because I am a stalker (Seriously beware, you guys. My expertise scares even myself. Just kidding! Don't block me from seeing your tweets!) I looked for more Emily Deschanel videos on YouTube. I found this one:
It's no secret I'm not the biggest fan of PETA, but there are exceptions to every rule! I love that this video is simple, straightforward and gets to the point. Plus, Emily Deschanel is a vegan, so I can totally get behind the believability of this one.

Any Howard Stern fans in the house? It's OK. You can admit. This is a Stern-safe space—at least my posts are!
For various reasons, I have a very soft spot in my heart for Howard Stern. I'm pretty sure I learned everything I needed to know about the world listening to his radio show in high school. And, my dad works in his building and says he is a very generous Christmas tipper. Despite his many shortcomings, Stern is A-OK with me.
So of course I can't help but link you all to his on-air partner Robin Quiver's upcoming vegan cooking show, Vegucating Robin. Robin became vegan in 2007; she even eats vegan at such meaty institutions like Per Se!

Dude, Janet Jackson is (almost? or is?) vegan!? And she loves eating at vegan restaurants! I had no idea! Ms. Jackson's ('cause I'm nasty!) music has gotten me through many rough times, namely middle school through present day. Anyway, she was on Jay "I am your grandfather but worse because we're not related and I have a fucking tv show" Leno last night talking about all her favorite vegan restaurants, she loves Vegan Glory (she loves the tacos and chicken nuggets!) in Los Angeles and Red Bamboo (she loves the chicken parmesan!) in New York City. She is so very adorable and Jay Leno is THE WORST OMG GRANDPA GET OFF THE AIR.
Now, please excuse me while I go listen to "If" a million times. OMG, let's totally talk about favorite Janet songs now. What's yours!? There was a point in middle school when I dressed all in black and ran around my house acting out the entire Rhythm Nation album. There was definitely some moves during "Black Cat" that were not PG-13 and I think I might have dry-humped a couch at one point? My parents must have been entirely checked out for the majority of my childhood because how was I not institutionalized!?

Alyssa Milano transforms herself into "Jersey Shore" cast member »
Alyssa Milano, who we think is vegan (though not even Google knows the right answer! why can't we ever tell with actresses! I guess it just depends on what diet their trainers has them on) but who is definitely a vegetarian and friend to animals, just did a video for Funny or Die about what would happen if she were to become a guidette on the new MTV show "Jersey Shore." It pretty much ends exactly like you think it would.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy Upgrade from the EDGE 800
I've been using a Garmin Edge 800 for about 16 months now, so I'm pretty familiar w/ the functions, pros, cons and limitations. I've used the EDGE 810 for about 4 rides now... so far, so good
Overall, for an extra $50, I think this is a worth while upgrade. Although, you'd probably lose another $100 off retail reselling your old EDGE 800. So, if the you can...

5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy Upgrade from the EDGE 800,
D. Zhou (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Edge 810 GPS Bike Computer (Electronics)
I've been using a Garmin Edge 800 for about 16 months now, so I'm pretty familiar w/ the functions, pros, cons and limitations. I've used the EDGE 810 for about 4 rides now... so far, so good
Overall, for an extra $50, I think this is a worth while upgrade. Although, you'd probably lose another $100 off retail reselling your old EDGE 800. So, if the you can swing the $150, do it. To me, the Best New Features I outlined are well worth the incremental costs... All you have to do is rationalize it by going out to ride some more!!!!
Best New Features!!
- Wireless course uploads to the device and auto sync from mobile app to GarminConnect are the best new features. The thing I dreaded the most was taking the device off the bike to upload my ride or to download new courses.
- Lack of page back/next buttons make screen seem larger. Larger fonts, stats, virtual partner and maps
- GarminConnect mobile app allows you to track, share, upload and review your activities and courses
- Wireless course uploads to the device and auto sync from mobile app to GarminConnect are the best new features
- Lack of page back/next buttons make screen seem larger. Larger fonts, stats, virtual partner and maps
- GarminConnect mobile app allows you to track, share, upload and review your activities and courses
- Text and numbers are more up-to-date looking, not the old DOS/Courier font block styles. Something as simple as this makes the device more
- Same size as the EDGE 800, so you won't have any surprises there.
- Same 3 hard buttons (Power, Lap/Reset, Start/Stop) for an easy transition
- New graphics make the 810 look a little more sharp. Nothing wrong with the old 800, but the 810 just has nice appeal and sets it apart from the outgoing device... But an onlooker would have to look close to see the differences. Color options would be nice
- Wireless connectivity with the iPhone is a real nice to have. Altho, I do notice substantial battery drain on the iPhone when using the live tracking feature (bluetooth + data + mobile app = huge battery drain)... be sure to carry a spare charger or auxiliary battery for your mobile device if you go for long rides. Or, look at my note below for an alternative.
- Gone are the page back/next buttons... so you don't have to tap on the screen for the buttons to show up and scroll thru your training pages/maps. Just scroll like on your smart phone to go page back/next
- Weather information?? meh... I can have it or not... I research my route and plan for weather conditions before going on a ride so this is neither a pro nor con... If you are the spur of the moment kind of rider, this might be handy
- If you have the City Navigator from your EDGE 800, IT WON'T WORK ON THE EDGE 810. You will need to buy a new SD Card with City Navigator. Once you insert the SD Card into an EDGE device, it pairs it with that SD card and you won't be able to transfer it to another unit. There is no straight forward method, but, if you Google it, you can find ways to circumvent this. No reason to have to buy another map if you already bought one for the EDGE 800.
- Somewhat disappointed that the resolution isn't any better than the EDGE 800. But then again, its a small screen and majority of the time, I am on the page w/ my ride stats, so its not critical
- No upgrade function to transfer all your previous settings.
- Live tracking relies on cell signal to send the data... if you ride up in mountainous terrain or desolate areas, this feature may not be worth much to you
- Garmin site mentions a Virtual Racer, which is similar to the Virtual Partner, but I couldn't find anything in the owners manual about it, nor have I figured out how to launch/set it from the device itself
- If you want to transfer your old activities, routes or custom wallpapers, you can just copy/paste while its connected to your computer
- Had 1 incident (in 16 months) with the EDGE 800 freezing during an 80-mile mapped route; No incidents after 4 rides with the EDGE 810, but 4 rides is not much to base this reliability assessment on
- iPhone has an app called CylceMeter (offers live tracking via googlemaps) and it has incredible customization in terms of notifications, announcements, settings, voices, email notifications, reads facebook messages... All this, and it is surprisingly very battery conservative... I can go riding for about 6 hours w/ music on the entire time and still have 30-40% battery life left.... it has everything but an Android version
- Wireless course uploads require you to create the course from the Garmin GarminConnect. I create, edit and share all my courses on RidewithGPS (check the site, add a www and a dot com). Faster and not as clumsy as the Garmin site, gives instant elevation stats, add custom course points (shows up on the EDGE)... lots of customization and flexibility

5.0 out of 5 stars Good to great device for the more serious biker,
This review is from: Garmin Edge 810 GPS Unit with Heart Rate Monitor and Speed/Cadence Sensor (Electronics)
Was a little worried about buying this unit given some of the moderate reviews I had read and the price associated. I'm in a couple hundred miles thus far and I would give it high marks. Is it hard to read in daylight? It can be but once I mounted it on the extension bar so that it was in front of the handle bars and thus could adjust its angle I had no problems (mounting it on the stem was problematic because the angle caused more glare in direct sunlight) - so in this case the concern is valid, but easily mitigated by the mounting approach - at least for me.
Is it easy to use? Yes, though it takes handful of rides to figure out some of this nuances. Once you get it configured and setup it has been a breeze to the point where I don't really think about it - I just ride and then bring it in for charging, the wireless upload works like a champ and I never even think about it happening. I've used the device with heavy gloves and had no problem operating the device - a significant improvement over a smart phone which requires me to pull off my gloves in order to use.
Is it easy to setup? Configuring the screens to suite your personal taste isn't as easy / straightforward as an iPhone but with less than an hour of playing around with it I had it about perfect (google garmin edge 800 and there are numerous excellent sites that make this process simple). There are a wide variety of data points/measures that can be added to your display and it took me a couple times of trial and error to figure out which measures where truly useful to me and how easy it was to read a customized screen with anywhere from 3 - 10 attributes being shown (10 is a bit of a challenge with my eyesight).
Concerns on battery life? I can see where you could set this up to drain the battery faster than you would like, but the out of the box setting for me has shown no problems thus far. I would imagine a 100-150 mile ride wouldn't be a problem. I have a 200 mile ride coming up over the summar and can see where that might be a challenge (15+ hours) but between now and then will be experimenting with ways to extended battery life. If the advertised capacity is true, it won't be a problem and thus far I feel pretty good that will prove true.
Is it over-priced? Yes - without question, but it won't be the first time I over-spent for my riding and I have yet to regret it (including this purchase)
Would it be nicer if it had a higher resolution screen? Yes - but the point for me is the ride and not the computer, you don't spend that much time looking at the display/maps so it is more than adequate for the job.
Key selling points for me (which have proven true thus far). Ability to easily move from bike to bike without having to reconfigure is outstanding. Ability to pace myself against a virtual training partner or target pace - outstanding. Ability to store/recall saved rides - outstanding. Map navigation works excellent and is directly analogous to that found on automobile GPS units. Would highly recommend going to the 810 instead of the 510 if you anticipate much riding on unknown /unfamiliar courses or want to preserve the ability to break off on a longer ride and get home safely.
Its a fair criticism to say that many people with these Garmins also carry a smart-phone and I do as well. However twice last year, the battery on my iphone gave out while trying to use it as a bike computer - even with a Mophie case which extends the battery life (at the cost of weight). I now carry the phone but its for emergency purposes and do not use it as a GPS device as I've gotten more than comfortable with the Garmin for that purpose.
My recommendation would be to buy it if you are more of a serious rider and want/need navigation capabilities.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a worthy upgrade,
C. Torrillo "Kring" (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Edge 810 GPS Bike Computer (Electronics)
So I'll preface this with the statement that Garmin is the sole option if you want GPS navigation with cycling in mind. no one challenges them.....YET... Overall this unit works (excluding the many bugs and issues being reported) and it works better then anything else you can find on the market today. It IS the gold standard... while I will say that standard is rather weak. At the cost of this thing is totally overpriced.
You would be out of your mind to upgrade from the 800 to the 810... you essentially get nothing of value new. same garbage screen, same buttons, same case, same mount, same functionality.
What you do get is one thing. a Bluetooth feature designed to drain your iPhone/Android battery while providing near-useless functionality to auto-upload your rides to Garmin Connects website which very few cyclists use. Most use Strava or RideWithGPS. You get a silly view of what the current weather is in case you believe your own eyes are lying to you.
That about sums this thing up. This is a perfect example of where a company owns an entire market segment and choose to make no progress since no one is challenging them. Garmin support is poor on their best days and bugs go unresolved for years and across generations of devices. They simply do not care.
So I'll return this, keep my Edge 800 and I will be happy with the 800 knowing there's nothing else out there.
Anyone coming from an 800 - don't waste your time - it's IDENTICAL. If you stuck 1000 Garmin 800 users in a room and asked them to pick one thing they would like to see improved... they would all tell you. Put a better screen on it, and some extra battery life would be nice. Garmin went with using the same 1970's etcher-sketch screen and decided to actually reduce battery life... just goes to show how much they listen to the customer or care about their market segment.
I'm not sure I can even justify or recommend the 810 over the 800 to first-time GPS buyers... it's NOT worth $50.00 compared to the 800. and unless you really need visual map navigation, just get the lower Garmin line and pocket hundreds.
Overall - SUPER disappointed in Garmin. And most likely this will be the last edge unit as this technology will be obsolete in a year. we should be seeing some challenges coming soon when someone makes a Bluetooth 4.0 set of sensors or figures out a good universal Ant+ phone adapter... Then it's just a iPhone/Android applications taking advantage...which some already do!
If you don't need a cycling GPS this season and you own a smart phone... wait, the Garmin's days are numbered... especially since they offer no improvements in the past 5 years.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice product, with issues,
This review is from: Garmin Edge 810 GPS Bike Computer (Electronics)
The Garmin Edge 810 is nice. I was torn between three stars and four.
The device itself is very nice. Battery life, with GPS running, is solid. The screen quality is pretty decent, but it's not a sharp high-res screen that you're probably used to from things like your cell phone or tablet. The first one I received had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen, which is just one of those things that once you notice it, you can never _not_ notice it. The return process was fairly straight-forward, and the replacement worked fine. I haven't really used the Bluetooth capabilities of it yet, so I can't speak to that. The process of creating workouts on the device itself (rather than through Garmin Connect) is pretty easy, as was the general configuration and initial setup of the device.
I have two main problems with this device (so far):
1. Maps. After spending $500 for a bike computer, it's a little aggravating to find that the device includes no maps. All of those pretty fancy turn-by-turn navigation shots? Yeah, you can't do that out of the box with the Edge 810. It comes only with primary and secondary roads, which basically are major highways and nothing else. In order to be able to do all of that navigation stuff that makes the Edge 810 cool, you have to pay Garmin another $80 for maps.
Or so Garmin would have you think. There are free maps that you can load onto the device without having to pay Garmin another dime. All you need is a 4GB microSD card and maps from OpenStreet Maps. The process is described in detail at RideWithGPS: http://ridewithgps.com/edge_810
2. Unreliability when connecting to your computer. At least half of the time that you plug the device into your computer, Windows will indicate that it's an unrecognized device. It would seem that there's some sort of problem with the drivers. Garmin acknowledges this issue, but instead of fixing it, they just give you a work-around: with the device powered off, hold the LAP button when you connect the USB cable to your computer. Keep doing that until Windows doesn't pop up the "unrecognized device" bubble -- it may take a few tries.
My other issues are primarily with Garmin Connect, their web-based system for managing profiles, workouts, etc. It's a great tool (and it's free), but some things about it are kind of round-about and not particularly streamlined.
I think that overall, it's a great training tool to use. It has its quirks and issues, but you can work around one of those issues by getting free maps, and hopefully Garmin will address the other stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars I like the improvements,
This review is from: Garmin Edge 810 GPS Bike Computer (Electronics)
I took out the Garmin Edge-810 for a thirty mile test ride today. As a owner of the Edge-800 I knew what to expect for general function, however, the menus have changed in this model as well as the overall layout is different. As for the new function, they are welcome and well worth the effort of selling my 800 to buy the 810. The connection to a iPhone is very easy to establish and is very convenient to upload the rides eliminating the required USB connection on the 800. I wish Garmin would have incorporated a higher resolution display, the current display is grainy. Overall I like the new unit.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed - Do not recommend,
This review is from: Garmin Edge 810 GPS Unit with Heart Rate Monitor and Speed/Cadence Sensor (Electronics)
The biggest draw for me in purchasing this particular unit was the ability to plan and upload courses of 50+ miles that could include many turns and back roads to avoid traffic and prevent me having to stop periodically to make sure I was taking the right turn. While this unit performs well with respect to speed, cadence, heart rate, etc. it does not navigate well and is very buggy.
The unit is inconsistent and almost all of my rides the turn by turn directions have stopped working in one form or another despite upgrading to the latest firmware. In short, it does not perform as advertised and for the price it should.
UPDATE 12/29/13 - As mentioned in my initial review, the unit did not meet expectations. Just too much $$ for something I felt was overly buggy & also seemed to have outgrown the hardware platform it was based on. In the end I wound up returning it and happy for the decision based on Garmin forum posts on the latest firmware, I may revisit in the spring as it is really the only game in town for cycling.
However, big thumbs up to Amazon for great customer service and return shipping.

1.0 out of 5 stars not ready - bugs after bugs after bugs,
S. Shprung (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Edge 810 GPS Bike Computer (Electronics)
Happy with Garmin for year. Liked my 705; loved my 800, but completely disappointed with the 810.
If you used to the 800; don't upgrade.
At least don't upgrade yet (Firmware ver 2.2 as of January 2013).
The unit is VERY bad. It crash mid rides. It sometimes report wrong elevation. the new Bluetooth ability to upload the file fail 50% of the time (and it only work with Garmin connect... so no benefit for Strava or RideWithGPS, etc)
Few things are missing (that are just software because they are on the 800), like the HR graph field. the ability to use a course without navigation, TCX support, low battery alert.
You can see the endless complains in Garmin forums here: forums.garmin.com/forumdisplay.php?362-Edge-810 (look at the Bugs topic).

I have had terrible luck with the Garmin 810 which I received as a gift in April. This is my first experience with Garmin. If I change screens during the ride, the unit freezes up and is worthless for the rest of the ride. One time I touched the screen to wipe off a smudge and it shut down 4 hrs into a ride. I have done the most recent upgrade and it hasn't helped at all. I would love to have a Garmin that works, but I'm also afraid if I return this one, that I will end up with either a refurbished unit, or another new one, that performs as poorly as the 810 I have. Do I downgrade? Seems ridiculous. I have talked to Garmin several times about the problem, so I am passing this information on so they can work on fixing the problems. Would love to know if anyone has returned one and received one that actually worked in return.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Computer! Map Download Advice,
BikeMeister (Woodbridge, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Edge 810 GPS Bike Computer (Electronics)
I haven't had the 810 very long, but it seems to be great so far. One of the things I am trying to master is following a course which I created on GarminConnect. This is your virtual cue sheet and it solves a tremendous number of problems, at least for me. On they subject of "trying to master"-- there is a tremendous amount of functionality in this device, and I think most people are experiencing a learning curve in optimizing their use of the system-- I've made up my mind that I WILL master it since I believe that it's going to be very much worth it.
One piece of advice: if you buy your own Micro SD memory card to enable you to install a number of maps on the card rather than buying the pre-loaded map card from Garmin, be aware that the first 50% of the time on the progress bar is for downloading to a temporary file on your computer, while the second "50%" is for installing the file to the Micro SD card. I have fast download speed from the internet and was able to cover the first 50% of the progress bar in under 10 minutes. However, the process of my system installing the map to the SD Card took probably 6-7 hours. Be aware that the progress bar from GarminConnect gives wildly inaccurate "time remaining" indications which might make you think that the transfer to the card has stalled. What you need to know is that the second half of the process is tremendously slow-- if the "percentage complete" indication makes progress at 1% per 30 minutes or better, consider that the transfer from your computer to the card is proceeding correctly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Garmin Godsend 810 Edge!,
scathlete (Hilton Head, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Edge 810 GPS Bike Computer (Electronics)
This is AMAZING! I have been using it on a bicycle trip (Bike Ride Across Georgia BRAG) and it has been an absolute godsend!
First of all, we got some tornado watches, and storm warnings yesterday (Andrea) that really threw a wrench into the trip. I had previously
downloaded every day's BRAG cue sheets into the Edge 810 and followed the circuitous routes diligently. However, not knowing what the weather
portended for today, I decided to forego the BRAG route and take a direct approach and made a straight shot from one town to the next. Not only did it get me there in record time, it was stress-free and I cut 10 miles off of my route (that I didn't really want to do). I could not have done this as easily with previous models, and I think this makes all the difference.
It is important to plan ahead (figure out my own rest stops, etc.) and I am not a 'tech' person...this device is so easy to use, I am already
getting it ready for a self-guided trip to New Zealand! Seriously, you can wait for the price to go down, or try a previous model, but the other models
do not offer the downloadable feature with such ease...I do not work for Garmin, so I have nothing to gain from this review, but if you want a device that is EASY to use, and to CREATE your own courses (on the Garmin website) this is the device..it made all the difference to me in this week long trip!I wish I would have used it sooner!

Preview: "Mere Exposure"
A preview of my new industrial and ominous track.
Oh, hi! It's been a terribly long time since I shared any music. This is a new piece I'm working on that takes on the usual ominous/industrial/haunting vocals sound. I didn't want't to post the preview until I had a chance to properly master it on good studio monitors. (I had previously been working with headphones, and honestly I did pretty well considering how hard it normally is to work on music with headphones for long periods of time.)
The track, bus, and pre-dub counts are starting to add up, but using Audition 3.0.1 on a quad core with 24 GB of RAM doesn't slow it down, even with heavy use of effects and VST/DirectX plug-ins.
The next pass will be strings…that is to say, I will be adding some incidental strings along with a solo. I will probably go with the baritone violin, since I need something edgy and harsh to punch through. The fog of war ("density") of this track is already starting to get into the 90th percentile.
Let me know what you think.
Once this track is finished, I will post it in its entirety, along with a podcast of me walking you through how it came to be, and "breaking down" what individual elements have gone into making the final product.

Emotion as an Asset Class
Voices, April 27, 2012
Investors act emotionally, not logically, toward the securities they buy or sell.
This dramatically lowers their returns.
But also means: smart investors will start regarding emotion as something they can base investment decisions on. In effect, they can treat widespread emotion as an asset class.
Here's what we mean.
Each year, for instance, Dalbar publishes the "Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior" (QAIB, www.qaib.com).
The QAIB report chronicles the real returns of investors taking into account the actual inflow and outflow from mutual funds using data from the Investment Company Institute.
Year after year the report shows how poorly real life investors do when compared to the broad indexes.
QAIB 2010 was especially critical of Modern Portfolio Theory stating:
"In spite of catastrophic losses in 2008, the belief in Modern Portfolio Theory ("MPT") has remained inexplicably strong. MPT is grounded in the observation that asset classes are predictably uncorrelated. Based on the theory risk can be mitigated by diversifying into uncorrelated asset classes. However, unless the correlations of various classes are predictable, the mitigation of risk is lost.
"Investors expect to be rewarded for the level of risk they are taking in a particular market. Investment results in 2008 showed clearly that correlation of asset classes varied unpredictably and with no warning. This brings into question the very basis of MPT and its ability to forecast an efficient frontier.
"The Achilles heel of MPT is that it simply cannot be reduced to a mathematical model or relied upon as the sole basis for the management of investment decisions…"
This indicates clearly that investors act emotionally, not logically, dramatically lowering their returns.
The report shows that in most time periods, real returns for investors do not beat inflation. In fact, the 2011 edition found that 10-year investor returns beat inflation by a small amount for the first time in QAIB history.
This behavior is reflected in the average mutual fund retention rate. The average holding time or retention period for an equity mutual fund was 3.27 years.
An interesting fact is the mutual fund retention rate was lower in 1999 than in 2008. This means investors were chasing performance faster than they were throwing in the towel in 2008. Big gains stir strong emotions just as much, or maybe more, than big losses.
In truth, this behavior gets to the best of advisors and money managers as well, not just everyday investors. The National Association of Active Investment Managers or NAAIM published a survey of active manager sentiment, to this point .
The sentiment indicator hit a new low on the same day as the markets hit their low for the year on October 5, 2011. The highest reading was in January of 2007 after four years of positive returns for the stock market indexes. Readings near record highs were also recorded in April of 2011, near market highs for the year. Advisors and managers fell into the same emotional trap as investors.
Richard Ferri states in his book All About Asset Allocation:
"Researchers have uncovered a surprisingly large amount of evidence showing that irrational behavior and repeated errors in judgment explain a significant portion of this known shortfall in individual investment performance. These human flaws are consistent, predictable, and widespread."
These emotional-based mistakes that investors, including advisors, make can be broken into three categories:
- Overreactions to news or events by selling high quality assets and then correcting their original reactions creating short term "negative bubbles."
- "Herd behavior." Buying stocks and other assets after their prices have increased substantially because they feel the need "to get in on the action."
- Irrational, fear-based selling of assets when virtually all investors "run for the exits."
Because these mistakes are "consistent, predictable, and widespread" they can be modeled. Investing strategies can be developed to allow advisors and their clients to profit from the human nature of the market as a whole.
Below are the results of one such investing model, treating emotion as an asset class. This particular model starts putting money into S&P 500 stocks after investors overreact to recent news on a particular stock.
The following chart shows a specific trade suggested by this model. In the two weeks prior to Christmas 2011, Oracle sold off more than 18% on news that their sales were down. They missed their earnings projections on Dec 22. The following week on Dec. 27, the model signaled a buy for Oracle which is now up over 14%.
These types of models tend to have much lower correlation to the overall market than most asset classes. For instance, this model is only 55% correlated to the S&P 500 index while the commonly used emerging market index is 87% correlated to the U.S. market.
The bottom line: Use emotion as an asset class.
Act on fundamental human behavior. And, if your fund follows through, its holdings will be more diversified. And performance greater.
