DevOps has often been described in terms of CAMS: Culture, Automation, Measuring, Sharing. While we've seen a lot of focus on the "A" and even on the "M", there are very few examples of why the "C" is equally important in the DevOps equation. In her session at @DevOps Summit, Lori MacVittie, of F5 Networks, will explore HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 along with Microservices to illustrate why a collaborative culture between Dev, Ops, and the Network is critical to ensuring success.

IT data is typically silo'd by the various tools in place. Unifying all the log, metric and event data in one analytics platform stops finger pointing and provides the end-to-end correlation. Logs, metrics and custom event data can be joined to tell the holistic story of your software and operations. For example, users can correlate code deploys to system performance to application error codes.

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in. Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Naveen Nimmu, CEO of Clouber, Inc., will advocate that making the inter-cloud migration as simple as changing airlines would help the entire industry to quickly adopt the cloud without worrying about any lock-in fears.

Overgrown applications have given way to modular applications, driven by the need to break larger problems into smaller problems. Similarly large monolithic development processes have been forced to be broken into smaller agile development cycles. Looking at trends in software development, microservices architectures meet the same demands. Additional benefits of microservices architectures are compartmentalization and a limited impact of service failure versus a complete software malfunction. The problem is there are a lot of moving parts in these designs; this makes assuring performance co...

Enterprises can achieve rigorous IT security as well as improved DevOps practices and Cloud economics by taking a new, cloud-native approach to application delivery. Because the attack surface for cloud applications is dramatically different than for highly controlled data centers, a disciplined and multi-layered approach that spans all of your processes, staff, vendors and technologies is required. This may sound expensive and time consuming to achieve as you plan how to move selected applications to the cloud, but smart organizations are actually reporting an improved security posture, accel...

The modern software development landscape consists of best practices and tools that allow teams to deliver software in a near-continuous manner. By adopting a culture of automation, measurement and sharing, the time to ship code has been greatly reduced, allowing for shorter release cycles and quicker feedback from customers and users. Still, with all of these tools and methods, how can teams stay on top of what is taking place across their infrastructure and codebase? Hopping between services and command line interfaces creates context-switching that slows productivity, efficiency, and may le...

Considerable confusion exists as to the type and terminology of testicular tumors. Many varieties of tumor arise from the complex elements composing the testicle, and identities are further obscured by the possibility of teratoid origin. No attempt will be made to classify tumors of the testicle, but it may be stated that the scope of pure simple tumors of the testicle has been greatly narrowed by the study of teratoma testis and its derivatives. Ewing stated that all the common and nearly all the rarer testicular tumors arise from totipotent sex cells and that the monodermal forms represent one-sided developments of tridermal teratomas. Only rarely, he stated, do the stroma, duct cells, interstitial cells and adult seminiferous tubules give rise to characteristic growths. His view is more extreme than that of most, who separate from the group of teratoma testis and its derivatives the seminoma, or spermatocytoma, as being derived

FITCH, CHARLES WESLEY [CHARLIE] (1918–2006). Charles Wesley "Charlie" Fitch, music promoter, producer, and owner of Sarg Records, was born on October 9, 1918, on a cattle ranch in Hallettsville, Texas. Fitch moved to San Antonio in 1936 to attend Draughon's Business College. In 1940 he moved to Yoakum and started a jukebox business which soon failed. Fitch enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps in November 1940 and was stationed in Puerto Rico before he requested assignment to combat duty. Upon completion of training, Fitch served as a tail gunner on a B-17 bomber in Europe. His plane was shot down in 1944, and he was held as a POW at Stalag Luft 4 in Germany. After the European liberation Fitch returned to Texas, where he married Bennie Lou Bassett of Luling in September 1945. Fitch was stationed at Brooks Air Force Base in San Antonio and achieved the rank of technical sergeant before he was honorably discharged from the Air Force in May 1950.
During his stint at Brooks, Fitch used his re-enlistment bonus to start another jukebox business, with machines located between San Antonio and Luling. Upon retirement he and Bennie moved to Luling and on October 9, 1950, opened the Luling Phonograph & Record Shop to augment and facilitate his jukebox operation. While Charlie made the rounds checking his jukeboxes, his wife Bennie managed the store; the family had living quarters in the back. In 1951 he began booking national acts for local shows. His first booking was Eddy Arnold for a show at the Gonzales Warm Springs Rehabilitation Hospital. He later brought country stars such as Johnnie & Jack, Kitty Wells, Faron Young, Webb Pierce, Jim Reeves, Leon Payne, and others—many from the popular Louisiana Hayride—to local clubs and events. For a brief time in summer 1953, Fitch had a live remote radio broadcast from his shop on KCNY in San Marcos.
Fitch started his own record label, Sarg Records, in late 1953. He recorded many local artists for his label until the late 1970s. Sarg Records is noted for producing the first recordings of Willie Nelson and Doug Sahm. Fitch ended his jukebox operation in the 1990s. By then Sarg Records had acquired an international collector following, and he kept his record store open (in later years by appointment only) until shortly before his death.
In 1999 Bear Family Records released a four-CD boxed set anthology of Sarg recordings made from 1954 to 1964. Documentary filmmakers Damon Cook and Dan Pringle produced a video documentary, Sgt. Fitch: A Legacy of Sarg Records, which was broadcast on PBS in 2009. Fitch was also the Veterans' Service Officer for Caldwell County for several years. Fitch died on May 7, 2006, at the age of eighty-seven. Bennie had died in 1973. Fitch was survived by three daughters and a son.

In a thoughtful coda to a June essay in The Atlantic about why she left a high-profile position at the U.S. State Department to return to her teaching position at Princeton University and take care of her two teenage sons, Ann-Marie Slaughter writes about why family needs to be a foreign policy issue.
I have never considered a career in foreign policy; I am, like Slaughter, an academic, though not at a world-renowned university. But her Foreign Policy essay about family being a foreign policy issue resonates with many, and any, women who's struggled to manage a career with raising children.
Why We Need More Women in Foreign Policy
As Slaughter writes, at just the time when men in their early thirties are entering "positions as National Security Council directors, speechwriters, or special assistants — jobs that prepare them for more senior positions," women (biology is biology) are "stepping out, not up" to have children.
Yes, there have been three women serving as secretaries of state in the past twelve years. But as Slaughter points out, a Foreign Policy list of the top 50 foreign-policy Democrats shows "we have a problem":
Below cabinet level, it is men who surround the president as foreign-policy advisors. Only one woman from inside the White House is even listed.
Foreign policy is not a "family-friendly" career as it necessarily involves "endless amounts of travel and a work schedule at the mercy of world events." Slaughter offers concrete changes to make such careers more flexible, so that women can step off such a career path temporarily and still be contenders for higher-level positions.
Even more, we absolutely need something other than an "all-testosterone team shaping America's place in the world" that can, writes Slaughter, focus not only on the realpolitik of states and military power, but on societies:
… I am not saying that women are not perfectly capable of realpolitik chess-game strategizing about how to best adversaries and counter potential threats in the world of state power. And some men, of course, do focus on a wide range of social, economic, and humanitarian issues. But many women are more likely than many men to see the world from the bottom up and connect the dots, for example, between America's living up to its word by preventing mass killing on a horrific scale in supporting the Libyan opposition against a murderous regime and beginning to change perceptions of the United States among young people not only in Libya but across the Middle East. And women add sheer diversity to the mix of issues we should rate as important; I well remember the horror of a male colleague at the idea that we would be working on food security, one of Clinton's priorities.
In reports predicting future food and water shortages, with the world's population set to increase to 9 billion by 2050, a "bottom up" focus is not an alternative; it is necessary.
It Would Be Nice to "Have It All," But Motherhood Takes Precedence
My son Charlie is, like Slaughter's sons, now a teenager. Charlie was diagnosed with autism in the first year of my first tenure-track job as an assistant professor of Classics in the Midwest, with a definite effect on my career path.
I have been able to work most of the time but have been focused on teaching instead of the research I had envisioned I would do while in graduate school. Academic scholarship takes years spent in archives and libraries and can be never-ending. In contrast, teaching is something that, while of course one needs to be prepared, is over and done with once the students have left the classroom. Grading papers and tests is a finite task; writing an essay assignment requires thought and care but is of a scope far more limited than conceiving of a book that would involve reading and synthesizing several hundred years of scholarship in several languages on Homer.
Charlie is on the more severe end of the autism spectrum. For the past 15 years, I have — I realize now, as I attempt to work my way through some of that scholarship — devoted every bit of my brain power to his care and education. I'd like to say I can "do it all" but tend to find myself reading (literally) one sentence of an article on oral composition at a time amid restoring all the music Charlie somehow deleted from his iPad and trying to solve his latest bout of stomach agony. I can't find most of Classics books because they're heaped in boxes in the basement after, two years ago, Charlie pulled down all the bookshelves.
But as I said, I have been able to start up my academic research again. Charlie's life is and will be one of many challenges but, very recently, he has been making some small progress, of which we are beyond proud.
It would be nice to "have it all," but as Slaughter (courageously, I think) wrote earlier this year, the world is not (yet) set up for that to occur. A mother can dream, and mothers and women wanting to be mothers should be given the opportunity to draw not on realpolitik but on their ideas, ideals and real experiences to change societies and lives.

Thanks for the post.
In spite of berny p's comment, most women do tend to be more interested in social systems that work and less interested in Machiavellian plots than most men. Having said that, I didn't find out that I have Asperger's until I was in my sixties. And my mother managed to make enough of a botch of raising me and my sister that it is probably better that neither of us ever had a child to botch raising.
interesting, thanks for posting
I agree with berny p - the best able are the ones who should fill any position, regardless of colour or creed

The draft Passenger Transportation Plan (PTP) for 2015 is available in the Online Library. The public input portion of the plan is now closed and we appreciate all those who participated in the survey.
A public meeting was held on Monday, February 9th to review the draft plan and provide an opportunity for any additional public comment.
The draft plan has been submitted to the state of Iowa review committee, and we have received the PTP review committee comments. We are in the process of addressing those and comments from the public. The final PTP will be presented for approval and adoption by the R6 board of directors at the April board meeting. After approval, the final plan will be submitted to the DOT and FTA, on or before the May 1 deadline, and will also be available on the Region 6 website.
Peoplerides is taking applications for part-time driver positions in the Region 6 area--Hardin, Marshall, Poweshiek, and Tama Counties.
If you have great people skills, a good driving record and are physically able to transfer and secure passengers in wheelchairs
you should consider driving for us!
We operate Monday through Friday and this is the perfect job for a newly retired person or anyone wanting a few work hours per week.
We can work with your schedule.
Peoplerides has both on-call service and scheduled routes available each week.
We are an equal opportunity employer.
See our "Employment" section on the Peoplerides tab for a complete job description, qualifications and application.
Peoplerides recently purchased two new Dodge Ram Promaster conversion vans. The vans can transport up to five ambulatory passengers and can be used to transport two wheelchair passengers. Marshalltown driver Jerry Smoldt is pictured next to one of the vans, which will be used for transportation in the Marshalltown area. The second van will be used in Hardin County at this time.
We are also expecting two new Glaval buses by the end of February. These are larger buses with capacity of 14 to 18 passengers. Each bus will have three wheelchair positions. The larger buses will be used for route service in our counties.
The purchase price of these vehicles ranges from $54,000 to $72,000 each. All vehicles are purchased off of the State of Iowa DOT bid. FTA minimum life of transit vehicles is 4 years or 100,000 miles however we anticipate operating them much longer.
Region 6 Planning Commission, headquartered in Marshalltown, is a voluntary association of local governments established in 1974 to provide member communities with professional services in the areas of comprehensive planning, access to federal and state transportation funding, housing assistance, public transit services, and grant writing and administration.
Peoplerides, our public transit service, was established in 1974 to provide low-cost transportation for trips that either originate or end in Hardin, Marshall, Poweshiek, and Tama counties. Peoplerides drivers are licensed and trained to provide a safe, reliable, and comfortable ride. If you need a ride, click the Peoplerides logo above for more information about scheduling a ride.
To learn more about what we do, explore our website or contact us using the information in the "Contact Us" tab. The Region 6 Planning Commission and Peoplerides look forward to working with you and your community!

Baby resolutions and reflections seem to be going around right now. There was a post on API Speaks of 7 Resolutions for Baby Number Two and a fabulous list of things you should know before you have your baby (Must read #8!) on MiP. Sebastian is now just over seven months old and I can think of several things I would do differently with my next pregnancy and birth.
1. Gain less weight. As I have just hit the halfway mark for baby weight loss, I can't help but think that this could easily be all of the weight. I intended to only gain 20 pounds during my pregnancy and started off well – First trimester nausea resulted in me losing weight. Cue the second tri and I suddenly had my appetite back. I also developed a cute little bump. I theorized that every extra calorie must be going straight to that round baby belly and that my fetus must be huge. In reality, Sebastian was born at 7 lbs 2 ounces and I had gained a total of 40 pounds. As fun as it is to indulge, it would have been more fun to eat less, work out more and as a result be more comfortable at the end of my pregnancy and happier with my body soon after.
2. Hire a doula! I probably would have ended up with an epidural either way, but I would have loved for someone to have stepped in first and suggested a birthing ball or the tub – both things my hospital birthing center provided. At that level of pain I couldn't think to do anything other than pace the room and my husband was tired and freaked out. I did communicate well with the hospital staff and loved the way I was treated (with the exception of one strange nurse who gave me the reach-around to check my stitches post-partum) but someone looking out for my birth experience would have been awesome.
3. Buy post-partum clothes in advance! I don't know why I thought I would be able to get out of the house with a brand new baby to go shopping of all things. The only things that fit me after baby were old pajamas and work out clothes. Maternity clothes do not necessarily fit after birth! I will not be popping out baby #2 without first stocking up on comfy nursing bras, leggings in a variety of sizes and cute XXL tops.
4. Have a blessingway. I first heard the idea of a blessingway on TFB blog and I love the idea, especially the idea of everyone bringing a bead to be strung together and worn while the mother is in labor (See hers here). I had two baby showers before Sebastian was born but I think that a blessingway is appropriate for every child (not just the first, as showers tend to be for).
5. Live tweet the birth! I didn't want to tweet during Sebastian's birth because I didn't want to announce to family until he was born. In my hormonal state, I was convinced that people would show up at the hospital and bombard me with phone calls (despite the fact that I went into labor at 4am). Looking back, I wish that I would have tweeted and TwitPic-ed the whole damn thing. It would have been great to look back at what I was thinking and feeling during labor as well as to get some encouragement from my tweeps. (I do like that I saved most of the newborn photo posting until after close friends and fam had seen Zeb in person.)
6. Save more money for my Mat Leave. I am self-employed and (stupidly, so stupidly!) assumed I would be able to keep up with work while caring for a newborn. WRONG. Luckily we don't rely solely on my income, but our finances are still reeling from that lack of planning. Next time around I am definitely going to begin building a solid safety net as soon as we start trying to conceive.
Overall, while my experience with Sebastian wasn't negative by any means, for my next baby I will strive to plan ahead a bit better and try for a greater sense of community throughout my pregnancy, labor and birth.
Before you ask, we are probably going to start TTC for our second child when Sebastian is 2 or 3 years old. Ideally I would love to adopt a baby at some point if money allows. (Both my husband and dad were adopted as infants and adoption is close to my heart.)

lets face it just about all club riders shave their legs, but does it really make a differance? I have rather hairy legs and apart from mili seconds does it have any other benefits?
1) it looks right
2) everyone else does it
3) road rash injuries heal better
4) everyone else does it
5) erm, it's better for the post race massage
6) that self tan goes on more evenly
7) it looks right
8) everyone else does it
PS it makes you a tiny bit slower, not a tiny bit faster...

1) Hairy legs prevent bugs latching on the skin,
2) Scares other women away to the delight of your lady,
3) Just for roadrash-eaier to clean wounds, healing may be better depending on damage inflicted.
4) If you have great legs, ride like a god-then sure shave the legs! Just get your other half to do it.

Pack Therm-a-Rest's Compressible Pillow for all sorts of travels.
Using your jacket as a pillow isn't too comfortable, and a zipper to the eye never feels good either. Sleep comfortably, even when you're on the move, with the Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow. Whip the portable Compressible Pillow out on road trips, during airplane travel, or on car-camping adventures.

Lumpy and returned
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Ordered two of these for backpacking. Way too big, and never fluffed up, but remained hard and lumpy. Both were returned, never used.
Very Fluffy Pillow
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Like many of the reviewers, I took my pillow out of the box and was skeptical. But then I let it chill out for a couple of minutes and it turned into a fluffy, cloud-like item.
This pillow is very comfortable and great for car camping. I have a medium one, which is plenty big. I probably would be comfortable on a small as well. It packs down to about half of its size, but it's a little difficult to do and still is on the bulky side.
My only complaint about this pillow is that it's a little too firm and tall. I sleep mostly on my side with my arm under my pillow and sometimes this position makes my neck hurt with this pillow.
Great car camp pillow
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
We now have several of these pillows and they are awesome. Comfortable, easy to pack and easy to wash. Best for car camping, take up too much space to backpack with.
Great Camp Pillow
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is a great camp pillow! I agree, it doesn't pack down super small so it's not ideal for backpacking, but definitely useable for backpacking if you have the space. Probably better for car camping or long road trips/traveling. But it is relatively light weight, soft, and comfortable for sleeping. After you unroll it, it takes a while to fluff up, so don't be concerned that it's not going to be plush enough.
I'd recommend keeping it unrolled when not in use so the foam isn't constantly compressed. But it is quite easy to roll back up, just do it like a sleeping pad.
Great pillow
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I ordered this last week and tried it out last night while I slept in my bed. Once you get the pillow fluffed up properly, it is very comfortable. It is a little difficult to stuff back into its little bag after it is really fluffed up though. I suggest rolling it like a sleeping bag.
Works great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this in a M and also have one in S. The M isn't all that much bigger than the small when compressed, but noticeably cushier when open. I use it for car camping and backpacking. Definitely gets smooshed down a bit after a couple of nights, but if you just machine wash and dry it it fluffs right back up (even after storing rolled up).
Makes me happy
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I am not a camper. I wasn't too thrilled the first time I camped, sliding around all night on a pad, waking up and feeling like I couldn't move in the sleeping bag, and not being able to get comfortable on a fake pillow stuffed with clothes. Then I ordered this pillow (X Large) and slept great. It was firm and comfortable. My daughter slept on different pillow, hated it, and asked for the Therm a Rest for her birthday. The pillow rolls down much smaller but fluffs back up once opened up. I usually unroll it when we put up the tent. I also am planning on taking it on a long airplane trip and think it will work great.
does it come with a stuff sack ? is it shipped compact inside the stuff sack ?

John, it will come with a stuff sack. There are a few community pictures where you can see what it actually looks like.

Great for camping and travel
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned this pillow for a couple years now and use it for all my travel naps. I originally purchased it for plane rides because it rolls up small and I'm not a fan of the neck pillow style most travelers rock.
Places you can nap with this pillow:
-Road Trips
-Work (kidding)
-It's easy to roll up and condense.
-It is easy to fluff-up
-So comfy!
-Washer friendly- After taking on a trip, throw it in the wash and all the padding gets a re-boost!
I ordered a size Medium which is great for travel, however, it is a little large for camping and backpacking. If you are looking to purchase this mainly for backpacking, the small will be perfect.
nice pillow
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
makes a great pillow tucks right inside your mummy bag head spot leave it open for a few minutes to fluff up ,the only down size is ,it dosent compress down very small for backpacking ,but well worth it if you have the room
Didn't work for us
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Saw this lovely pillow fluffed up at REI store, based on reviews and in-person impression decided to order - pillow did not fluff up as expected despite leaving it out for a couple of days. Pillow also did not compress as small as necessary for our back country MTB trip.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I was skeptical when my two pillows showed up, but wow are they amazing. The foam really puffs up one you open them up and let them relax. This is my go-to traveling/camping/flying pillow. Only wish they came with a cover...I tend to drool a little :)
Don't judge it after the first uses.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After the first 4 night trip I was ready to return it. Even leaving it out a couple days before it still wasn't all that good. I then forgot another pillow and only had this option on a 7 night trip. It was fantastic, it puffed up big and held up amazingly. The XL might be a bit to large for back country use but it's perfect for car camping.
What are the dimensions of the large pillow?
Adam Saucedo, Gearhead
Hey Matthew,
The large dimensions are 23 x 16 x 4 inches.
Good Addition
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a pretty good addition to my sleep set. Sleep is a sore subject for me when camping but this little guy gave me just enough support and comfort to not even cross my mind. I guess if I slept well and didn't even think about the pillow then it did its job? Compresses decently down and is super light.
Great pillow; a little too much loft
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I've been using my fleece rolled up as a pillow for as long as I have been camping. I decided to try something a bit different just to see if I was missing anything other than sleep. I was happy to see the size of the pillow. I washed and ran the pillow through the dryer to get the full loft effect of the pillow. It certainly filled out. It was a tad too much. I did sleep better but wished it would depress a bit more.
Almost great
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I like thin pillows so this worked nicely for me. Compressed size not an issue because I have only been "cabin camping" with my 6 year old.
I might have missed it, but I don't recall seeing any cleaning instructions. In any case, I am deducting one star for not even offering a pillow case...luckily my wife loves to sew.
Sweet Dreams Zzzz
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have slept on rolled up clothes, my arm, my sleep pad etc. trying to save weight/space etc. but finally decided a decent packable pillow (not one filled with air) was worth putting me in a much better mood(Everyone thanked me in the morning... after my coffee of course).
The loft on this thing (after you let it breath and expand) is what really takes the cake. It feels and sleeps like a real pillow, with nice thickness and is super soft. WAY better than the feel of an air filled one. I got the small and it fits into my Big Agnes sleeping bag pillow sack perfectly. And due to my outrageous OCD packing skills and a firmly placed knee I can get this thing rolled down pretty tight into the pocket sewed into it, to around the size of a pair of rolled pants. It's not THE lightest or smallest pack pillow, but for those of us with head/neck/mood issues its worth it.
PS -After much use (and buying my dad a brand new one) I noticed it didn't loft up as much. I sent it through the wash and dryer like it says and it was back to full loft like new!
Way better than inflatable pillows
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought the Fillo Pillow, an inflatable pillow from Nemo Equipment Inc and found it too bouncy and 'hard but soft', something I think all air pillows have a problem with.
My brother had this and swore by it. So I bought one and man is it good! It's better than my regular pillow on my bed I think. I bought the medium which is perfect for a little extra luxury comfort when hiking.
The medium fits into the hood of my Marmot Plasma 15 fine, a little on the big side actually so if you're trying to save space, maybe the small would work.
Now it doesn't pack down very small. In fact it takes up quite a bit of room. So I put it in a compression sack (an extra small Sea To Summit eVent compression dry sack) just because I have a spare.
The trick with this pillow is to unpack it at least an hour or so before you plan to use it. It needs time to breathe and fill out. I've had it unpacked in my room for weeks and it's twice the size as on the trail, so they really expand with time.
To wash it, I just put it in the washing machine as the cover is not removable.
great pillow
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
good compact size, takes a little while to fully expand, but fluffs up to luxurious size, especially comfortable if you've been using rolled up clothes as a pillow in the past. good stiffness and very affordable.

Depp, Cruise and Jackman in hotel standoff?
Hollywood actors Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise and Hugh Jackman are reportedly in a tussle over booking their favourite London hotel suite as all three will be here at the same time.
The trio are said to be used to the services of an unspecified London hotel, but two of them will miss out on occupying the suite when they all film in the British capital later this year for separate stories, reports contactmusic.com.
"None of these guys are used to being told they can't have something, so it's a bit of a standoff at the moment," a source told The Sun.
"Hotel staff are finding it a bit awkward because they have to keep telling them it's still a problem. They're all loaded, so it's not a case of who can throw the most money around," added the source.

Cycling clothes for the slightly overweight
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
I no longer conform to the clothing size charts given out by the likes of Castelli and dHB. My waist has grown out of proportion to the rest of me. Does anyone know of any bike clothing manufacturers that cut their cloth to suit an overweight mamil where chest=M, waist=L / XL?
Try full zip jerseys. They are much more forgiving of anatomical inconsistencies. Merino also hides flab well.
Have a look at Torm.cc
My eyes prefer Celeste, my bum prefers titanium.

I've always bought XL shorts for a 36" waist and M jerseys for a 40" chest. They still all fit; only the belly inbetween seems to object. Nothing says you have to go Large Large. Get bibshorts to avoid gaps, better than elastic topped shorts.

I am not exactly 'Slightly' overweight. 36/38 waist, 46 chest. Short legs
Do not know what size bib short to get.(OK I know, with those dimensions I should not consider lycra!) However, the other issue is comfort breaks, how easy!
Believe me at my age this is important.

I'm a similar size and usually wear a pair of the BTwin 500 series bib-shorts from Decathlon, in an XL size (there's a 2XL too).
They are fairly cheap but the pad has seen me right for rides of more than 3 hours and no problems with "comfort" breaks either. I've been doing well on the weight loss anyway so my thinking is not to spend a fortune on gear that might be too big in 6 months' time.
Good thing with bibs is they do a good job at keeping the flabbier bits in check (bit like those control pants your wife/mum/nan might wear...) so it gives a more flattering profile for wearing jerseys, which I can sometimes find are a bit tight around the old beer gut!

I'm a 38 waist and 44 chest (though over 6 foot). I get away with a XXL bibshort.
For toilet duties I tend to ride in the slightly lower cut bibs anyway and they're easier to pull down for a pee.

To the OP...
..Altura I have always found to be quite roomy around the waste. As others have said - go for full zipper rather than the neck zipper. The quality wont be as good as Castelli as you'd probably guess.
Another option is to look at some of the mountain biking kit. Some firms do baggie tops and shorts (foska, altura, decathlon). Some other places like sports direct or walking/camping shops do more generic sports clothing in wicking fabrics that might be another option.

text: AT the beginning of government under the Constitution, a two-party system existed in fact, despite the failure of that historic document to take it into explicit account. Two-party rule had been essential to the English political experience at least from 1688 with the triumph of Parliament over the monarchy. In the century following, Tories and Whigs battled for control of power in the kingdom, a situation replicated in the British colonies in North America. Whatever the issue and whatever the colony, men involved in political life tended to divide into two camps and in nearly all instances a compromise was reached, or a modus vivendi settled upon. Such arrangements were possible because no issue was so divisive as to deny the fundamental proposition that government rested on the will of the voters speaking through elected representatives. Indeed, continued colonial presence in the empire from 1754 onward was just such a way of living together to the advantage of the mother country and her colonies. When the time came for independence, the movement produced Patriots and Loyalists with little room remaining for a third course of action. In the immediate post-Revolutionary War years politically minded men favored either states rights at the expense of a strong central government or, as the phrase was to have it, "a more perfect union." More formal divisions came about once the Constitution had been put into effect: Federalists (centralists) and Anti-Federalists (decentralists). If political parties as such were not referred to in the Constitution it may be assumed they were accepted as a given because responsible government could not function without them. A loyal opposition was a sine qua non of republican rule. The great fear of the Founding Fathers was the fear of faction that Washington decried and Madison attacked in Number Ten of The Federalist. Mindful of all this Theodore Roosevelt defined the American political party in

Pick your poison. Individuals are unique and special snowflakes. For me printing is not easily dismissed because it is the process by where I define all my other efforts. As far as the work I do for self expression it is far more descriptive to call me a printer than a photographer, because the print is what I seek, although I enjoy the whole process. For me "capture" (I call it making a negative) is among the ingredients of expression, the print is the meal that I serve myself or anyone else who is interested. To me everything that happens until the finished print is the journey to a destination, the destination being the print, but then again, I'm a printer.
Interpreting the negative has traditionally been an intergal part of classic photography. There is a terrific thread that shows how different folks interpet their negatives here.

He thought finding a soulmate would be his hardest task, but he was wrong. To seduce Pirate Drake … that proved Martin's real challenge...
"Martin and Drake are an explosion of hot male loving. Their need for each other goes well beyond sex, and it is great to see how Martin gives Drake the time and freedom to find his way in their relationship. I found this story to be sexy and engaging." CTR
Finding a soul mate was the easy part. To seduce him proved Martin's hardest challenge for nothing in Pirate Drake's black intriguing eyes seemed to recognize the one person destiny had selected for him. But can the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas be enough to convince him of the contrary in spite of his dilemmas about gender, feelings, connections and sex or can Pirate Drake find a way around the burning desire, the erotic heat, the uncontrollable passion wrecking his senses at Martin's mere sight ?
