How the scam works:
The traffic infringement scams are back, in both the US and Australia. In the first scenario, scammers call households claiming to be representatives of the local Department of Public Safety (DPS) or the police. They inform the owners they have a red light traffic fine pending, threatening the suspension of their driver's license or with huge interest rates.
To make it sound more realistic, scammers not only use official language, but they give the location of the red light (if the crooks are local, they use a well-known intersection that has a camera). However, to seem friendly, they will conveniently offer the victims the choice of paying through the phone.
A second variation of the traffic fine comes currently from Australia. The motorists receive an email scam that requests payment for a bogus AFP Traffic Infringement Notice. The scam email initially asks the recipient to pay an 'AFP fine' of approximately $150. If links within the message are clicked, the recipient's computer is infected with malware which renders it inoperable.
According to AFP, "at that point ransomware is activated where the recipient is asked to pay thousands of dollars to reactivate their computer.
How to avoid:
In the first scenario the police (nor the Department of Public Safety) will ever call drivers about their red light tickets, so don't fall for it. Needless to say, the victims who are falling the most for this scam are the ones that actually ran the red light recently and might expect a fine. Make sure you drive carefully and stop at the lights. In the second variation, ignore the email and delete it.
How to report:
Make your family and friends aware of this scam by sharing it on social media using the buttons provided. You can also officially report the scammers to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) using the link below:

Love this protest. Vegan wool is easy to find, and it will keep you warm and cozy without contributing to cruelty.
Good for PETA. There's nothing warm about wool, not when sheep are abused so that it can be stolen from then. With all of the stylish, durable synthetics available, there are plenty of options to ward off the chill without making animals suffer.

I wish Mr. Simplot had bestowed upon Boise something more vital and lasting than an oddly designed building where cooking classes and fingerpainting are taught. His millions might have helped endow a proper public transit system for this community, or a decent baseball stadium that might have helped revitalize downtown and given the youth of the community a center for athletics. He might have helped connect Boise to the West Coast by high speed rail line or underwritten much-needed historic preservation. Instead, we got a modernist structure and a tractor museum where -- years after ground was first broken -- no one can still seem to figure out what it really is.
edit much?

Also is there a date set? Or maybe a month? Or even a year set?!?!
Interesting that inmates also pay $35 per day. That's a gross profit of $105 per inmate per day, plus "booking fee". Seems that locking people up is a very lucrative business. Though, it was my understanding, that it's illegal to profit off of crime, in any way.
$70 per inmate, per day. In the real world, that's the price of a nice hotel room and a couple of modest meals. Considering the conditions in jail; poor quality food, threadbare bedding and then add in the profit from commissary, phone calls, SILD program et al, it seems to me that the Sheriff's office is making a pretty penny at the expense of the tax payer, the City of Boise and those who find themselves on the unfortunate side of the law, without giving much back in return.
Once upon a time, they called this brigandry but it seems sometimes, that words lose their meaning.
The jail houses 1,217 inmates. Jail deputies also run alternative sentencing programs like work release, labor detail, and community service, all at a fee for those convicted.

A Disney blue building on Capitol Boulevard is going to stand out like a sore them and take away from our beloved State Capitol.

That blue is terribly unfortunate.

We are all struggling to continue horse racing in Oregon. It seems to me that there has to be some kind of compromise about the machines, instead if just shutting down the whole thing?????? It makes a person wonder if this is a dying sport? Is horse racing something I will only talk about as a past experience? I sure hope not. Please spread the word that this sport is worth fighting for. I know we are here in Oregon.

On Flir Ex Series Cameras
2492 AC Watt And Power Factor Dual Function, Function and Connections - Watt / Power Factor 1P2W, Input Rating - 240 Volt/1 Amp, Frequency - 50/60 Hz, Analog Output - 4 to 20 mA, Communication - YCA Protocol, Aux Power Supply - 120 VAC / 240 VAC
Power Series Plus Digital Switchboard Meters The digital switchboard meter was developed by Yokogawa Corporation of America to provide our customers with a versatile AC digital power meter. The heart of our POWER SERIES PLUS meter is a programmable ASIC Power Measurement Chip (PMC) which was jointly developed by the General Electric Company and Yokogawa Electric Corporation.
Set-up and Configuration The device can be set up before, or after installation in a panel. Once set up is complete, replace the cover and make the appropriate input connections.The POWER SERES PLUS can be configured for primary and secondary transformer inputs, legends, outputs and averaging function. At Yokogawa, we program each model according to the specified options required by the user. This minimizes the number of steps to set up the instrument at the job site or on the factory floor.
Each model is programmed only for the options selected, so there are no unnecessary menu items. If you select a Voltmeter without analog output, then set up will be limited to PT ratios, LED display, and average setting. All can be accomplished in less than one minute. If no transformer is required, the ratio entered for PT P and PT S is 1 (1:1).
Set up functions appear on the display as symbols. They are accessible when you press the MODE pushbutton located behind the front cover and beneath the LED display. After pressing MODE, you are in the setting mode "rSEt" and can begin setting up. Error codes during set up mean your inputs may be incorrect or outside of the range of the instrument. Refer to the instruction manual for range/span restrictions for each model selected.
The pushbutton setting switches are described below. In order for a setting to be entered into memory, you must complete all entries for that mode such as: "PT P" and "PT S" (PT primary and PT secondary). If the values do not need to be changed from a previous setting, simply push the EN switch several times to go to the next mode. After auxiliary power connection and removal of the cover, the instruction manual will guide you through set up. Pushbutton switches are located directly below the LED display. The POWER SERIES PLUS can be set up before, or after installation in a panel. Once set up is complete, replace the cover and make the appropriate input connections.

Our reviews of Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3D, Star Trek Beyond 3D, Vamp & Runaway Train
All right, in case you thought we missed posting content yesterday…
There was no Friday news post, but we did post no less than four Blu-ray reviews, including my detailed thoughts on Disney and Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Collector's Edition on Blu-ray 3D format! The short of it is that the 3D presentation is pretty good, the J.J. Abrams commentary is pretty great, and the set definitely better than the original release. But I do wish that they'd create a truly comprehensive special edition look at the making of this film. [Read on here…]

I know I won't get to all of it before the month is out, but I'll get to as many of them as I can. I have some good titles lined up for the rest of this week and, hopefully, we won't have a repeat of Friday and we can stay on schedule.
Anyways, let's move on to some reviews. [Read on here…]

Welcome to a new edition of Pick-Ups!
I hope all of you had a nice 4th of July celebration this weekend and saw some new movies.

That won't stop me from trying though. [Read on here...]

By Clint Morris
If Roland Emmerich's "Universal Soldier" had been an independent film, made outside the studio system, with a skeleton crew, hand held cams, and few stuntmen, then it'd probably look, maybe even play, a little like director John Hyams' direct-to-video offering "Universal Soldier : Regeneration".
The second sequel to the smash-hit Jean-Claude Van Damme/Dolph Lundgren flick (which, for what it's worth, was a fun ol' flick – some great action sequences in it), and the first one to go straight to DVD, "Regeneration" is, not unexpectedly – considering the regrettable moribund box-office appeal of its leads – the most fiscally-friendly and no-frills of the series. And yes, it looks it. Maybe even plays it. But unlike the last sequel, which severely lacked some Andrew Scott-baddism, producers have managed to coax Van Damme and Lundgren back to the fold. And, age aside, they both bring it like it was, er, 1992. To say they save the film is a huge understatement. They're great!
Van Damme is probably only in half the film, and Lundgren might only be on screen for 15 minutes or so, but that's enough to plant the film with a 'worth a look' sticker. The boys bring it – and then some, especially in the rough and tumble skirmish they participate in near the film's end.
And watching the two masters of action mayhem at work reminds us (and will hopefully remind Hollywood) just how much more deserving both Van Damme and Lundgren are of being cast in bigger, better vehicles – the likes of which they both headlined in the 80s (Lundgren – "Masters of the Universe", "The Punisher" and so on), and 90s (Van Damme with "TimeCop", "Sudden Death", "Double Impact" and so on), respectively. They mightn't be the finest actors on the planet – but I will say, having recently seen Van Damme in "J.C.V.D" that the man is much more than brawn and high-kicks, he can act. He's even quite good here, bringing much more to the character than, I imagine, was on the page. And in addition, Lundgren is a master at bringing home a cheeky quip! He has some doozies here – but they know how to entertain. Really entertain. They're the real deal, too – they likely didn't have too many stuntmen doubling for them on this, because in most sequences you can see its Van Damme and Lundgren getting belt, or giving out the beltings, and if I didn't any better, I'd swear knuckles were actually touching in a couple of those fight sequences. More so, they're a charismatic couple of cats. Say what you will about either of them, but they're still two of the most entertaining and interesting mean guns in the action-movie arsenal. Great to see them paired up again.
If it sounds like I'm singing the praises of Van Damme and Lundgren more so than their latest movie, well, I guess I am. Thing is, if "Regeneration" had gone the way it was originally going to go – have it feature different actors, since Van Damme and Lundgren seemed reluctant to return (Lundgren, for instance, only signed on to the picture a few days before it went into production, after they re-wrote his lines for him) – it would've likely sucked worse than a cheap hooker. I say that because whenever the film is focusing on the 'third lead' of this thing, Andrei 'The Pit Bull' Arlovski (I suppose you'd say he'd the lead. He does appear in much more of it than either Van Damme or Lundgren), who plays the big bad, or becomes bogged down in exposition or stationary sequences that don't involve anyone handling a big-ass weapon or someone getting whacked, it's pretty clear there's nothing but a thin shell here.
In a nutshell, the story involves a group of terrorists taking over a power plant, and the military's attempts to take them down.
One of the doctors on the old Universal Soldier program has crossed over to 'the dark side', and with him, brings a few of his old robotic pals – predominantly, NGU (Arlovski). NGU's an unstoppable son-of-a-bitch that wipes his way through the military, and anyone else that gets in his way, quicker than a semi on a dusty highway. He hasn't got much to say, but he's got a lot to spray.
With him, the doc wakes up a clone of (original "Universal Soldier" villain) Andrew Scott (Lundgren), who, though at times questioning his alliance to the rogues that have given birth to him, is still is nasty and as a threatening as Scott.
With little options left, the military calls on Luc Deveraux (Damme), the UniSol who's been decommissioned for years. Reactivated and retrained, Deveraux must make a full-out assault on the heavily armed fortress – encountering both enemies new (Arkovski) and old (Lundgren).
Not to say the story is terrible, it isn't – – it's just that it's not an especially compelling one. It also doesn't feel like an extension of the previous films – and in fact, unless it was pointed out to us that the guys with the guns were 'Universal Soldiers', and JC and DL were back as Luc Devereaux and Andrew Scott, it could pass for a stand-alone film. I dare say the story was written to fit the foreign location (besides a couple of sequences, set inside a building in Virginia, it all takes place offshore) and the budget (probably a fifth of what the first film cost; thus it all essentially takes place in the one location). Understandable, but it's a pity, with a few more bucks, and some more lavish locations, the thing might've – like the original – gone off like a nympho in a pyjama party. Still, it's not half as bad as many might expect it to be.
There are three guys who save the picture from mediocrity and that's Van Damme, Lundgren, and director John Hyams. Accompanied by his father Peter (who directed Van Damme's "TimeCop" and "Sudden Death") on the Nikon, Hyams has crafted a fairly slick, rather showy action movie – considering the lowly sum he's got to work with. Knowing every penny counts, and likely eager to show the big boys how imaginative he is, the commercials director has crafted a film that's not so much an action-thriller (as the first was) as it is a war movie. He shows real flair here. Even the camera angles, movements and placement look like something out of "Full Metal Jacket". Give the man a budget, and I think he'll really hit it home.
So yeah, got a little bored in spots, but as soon as Van Damme and Lundgren entered the picture – and more so, came face-to-face – I found myself quite enjoying the latest (and likely, not the last) in the "Universal Soldier" series. Good beer and pizza flick, fellas.

This little fellow was a STRANGER in my front yard by an Azalea bush last
Spring. It was so warm that year that it bloomed at about the same time the
Azaleas did. It was really small, so O.C.dug it up and moved it to a new bed
and treated it well. It rewarded him THIS year by blooming again. Seems all
my Iris that have bloomed so far this year have been very difficult to
photograph.( the proper word O.C. guesses if CHALLENGING) The little Iris is
either a deep dark burgundy or a reddish black. It sits almost right on top
of the ground and is very small. One picture was "edited" to lighten it a
LOT, the other was made with a fill flash and then lightened. Since I
didn't plant it,
O.C. doesn't know it's name . Looks like the SDB Bantam. Could it be ? If
not, do you knows it's name..???
That Funny and VERY Friendly Old Coot, named John, REALLY enjoying Spring
with all of God's pretty Flowers........and TODAY glowing with pride at the
new ones blooming in HIS yard.

Passing its first test since joining the stock market, A&L beat market forecasts with first-half profits before tax of pounds 178m. That represented a fall of 3 per cent on last year's pounds 192m, but included a pounds 28m one-off hit for the costs of conversion and flotation.
Peter White, chief executive, said the results provided a firm base for the rest of the year, but he warned that strong competition in the personal financial services market was likely to intensify.
He added that the level at which interest rates peaked in the current cycle would be crucial in determining how strong the current recovery in the housing market became.
While the group confirmed it would prefer to invest its extra cash in acquisitions or organic growth, it ruled out a purchase overseas. Last week rival Woolwich said it foresaw problems making well-priced acquisitions in the UK and was considering "cherry-picking" in France, where valuations are lower.
Richard Pym, finance director, said the rationale behind any deals would either be to acquire an expanded customer base into which it could push its existing products or a company that would expand its fledgling interests in products such as unit trusts and life assurance.
Alliance & Leicester has focused on growing its unsecured lending business, which it believes is of better quality than those of its peers, and it would be keen to push that product through a broader customer base. During the half year, outstanding unsecured loans grew to pounds 1.03bn from pounds 833m. Gross advances during the half of pounds 464m represented a market share of 14.1 per cent.
Mr Pym refused to commit himself to a timetable for any share buy-back should those sorts of acquisitions not be possible, but he admitted that, with a capital ratio of almost twice the industry average, A&L was under some pressure to take some action.
Tier 1 capital, which is a measure of a bank's core capital compared to its total assets, stands at around 14 per cent at A&L, compared with an industry average of about 8 per cent and as low as 6.5 per cent in some cases. An acquisition would be one way of reducing the ratio, while handing cash back to shareholders through a special dividend or share buy-back is another.
Continued diversification increased profits from outside A&L's core mortgages and savings business to 38 per cent of the total. That was in spite of an increase in gross mortgage advances, which rose 53 per cent to pounds 1,422m in the six months to June, giving A&L a 4.5 per cent market share.
Profits were given a boost by a reduction in the ratio of costs to income, which slipped from 63.9 per cent to 61.6 per cent. Including the cost of conversion, earnings per share were 19.4 per cent (20.6p), representing a post-tax return on capital of 17.4 per cent.
The shares closed 8p higher on the day at 620.5p, against the trend of the market and the rest of the banking sector, as analysts focused on the potential for continued cost-cutting and cross-selling of products. The dividend was raised 18 per cent to 6.4p, around a third of the expected payout for the full year.Reuse content

Fatherhood for Gay Men by Kevin McGarry
Book DescriptionGet the inside story on a single gay man's struggle to adopt! Fatherhood for Gay Men: An Emotional and Practical Guide to Becoming a Gay Dad is the story of one man's journey down the road less traveled--a single gay man adopting and raising his two sons. Author Kevin McGarry recounts his passage into parenthood after years of having his natural fathering instincts stifled by the limits--real and perceived--of being gay. This unique book details the emotional, financial, practical, and social realities of the adoption process for gay men. From the author: "We take risks by coming out of the closet as gay men and at the end of the day, we are emotionally happier because we took those risks. By coming out, we are being true to who we are. The same goes for anyone, gay or straight, who has gut instincts for parenthood. I knew over the years that I had parenting instincts because I had this incredible envy of other dads. I would watch them with their kids and wish that somehow, I could have that role. It was painful at times because being gay, I didn't think parenting was in my life plan. Had more role models been available to me, the process would have been a little less difficult." Much more than a "how-to" guide to adoption, Fatherhood for Gay Men is the personal account of a single gay man's struggle to become a father despite the real and imagined limitations of being a gay man. The book looks at the adoption process (domestic and international) from the inside, providing unique insight into: * conducting a homestudy * costs (fees and expenses) * what countries allow men to adopt * alternatives to adoption * life as a new parent * online resources * and a state-by-state review of adoption laws, categorized by "Completely Legal," "Favorable Climate," "Mixed Success," and "Illegal" The book also includes results of the 2000 study by Gillian Dunne, senior researcher for the London School of Economics Gender Institute, of 100 gay fathers and fathers-to-be. "Fatherhood for Gay Men: An Emotional and Practical Guide to Becoming a Gay Dad is a heartfelt and heartwarming story of a father's refusal to be denied a family.

Ram Singh (Fiji)
Babu Ram Singh was a Fiji Indian who had come to Fiji under the indenture system and was one of the few people who, after indenture, prospered and made an attempt to help his less fortunate ex-indentured brethren. Babu Ram Singhs surviving Business, Fiji Rubber Stamp Co Ltd is still under operation in Mark Street, Suva, and is looked after by his children.
Successful businessman[edit]
There were few roads in Fiji around 1900 and the main form of transportation was by boat. Ram Singh saw this as a business opportunity, acquired a launch and started providing passenger and cargo facilities to communities living along the coasts of the islands of Fiji and along the banks of its numerous rivers.[1]
Leadership through Indian Imperial Association[edit]
Ram Singh was one of the founding members of the Indian Imperial Association of Fiji (IIA) and together with Totaram Sanadhya was instrumental in persuading Mahatma Gandhi to send an Indian lawyer, Manilal Doctor, to Fiji. Manilal arrived in 1912 and took up the leadership of the IIA, as President and Ram Singh became its Secretary.[2] The Indian Imperial Association of Fiji (I.I.A.) came into existence in Fiji on 2 June 1918. The association contained mainly educated Fiji Indians. It sent petitions to the Government seeking review of marriage law, an end to the death penalty and representation into the Legislative Council. The aim of the association was to 'watch the interests of and to assist in the general improvement of the Indian community in Fiji'. As president of the I.I.A., Manilal Doctor wrote to Mahatma Gandhi, other Indian leaders and the British Labour Party on the sad plight of Indian indentured labourers in Fiji. C.F. Andrews and W.W. Pearson were dispatched to Fiji to enquire into the complaints. Manilal Doctor made submissions for their report, published on 29 February 1916, which reported on the deplorable living conditions of the indentured labourers and their lack of access to education and medical facilities.
Ram Singh remained an active member of the IIA and in 1919 joined in the campaign to stop the resumption of the indenture system. Ram Singh and Manilal Doctor organised a conference, of Fiji Indians, in Suva on 26 December 1919, which passed resolutions highlighting the difficulties being faced by Indians in Fiji. The Government tried to ignore the IIA, but it led to the strike of Indian labourers which began on 15 January 1920. As a result of the strike, Manilal was deported from Fiji and the IIA collapsed. In 1924, Ram Singh tried to revive the IIA as the Indian Association of Fiji, with representatives from all sections of the Indian community and with the aims of moral social educational and political uplift of the Indians. The IIA made representations to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, but was ignored and became ineffective.[3]
Member of Arya Samaj in Fiji[edit]
Ram Singh was a member of the Arya Samaj in Fiji. He was the printer and publisher of the Hindi language newspaper, Fiji Samachar and together with Vishnu Deo (who was the editor) was involved in conflict with other sections of the Indian community as a result of which he was sued for libel.[4]

Great every day bra
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
I bought this and the Ibex Balance Sport Bra. I like the option of having more(the Sport Bra) or less support/coverage(this bralette). It is true to size and made of soft fabric that wicks moisture. It dries quickly and seems to wash well. So comfy that you forget you are wearing it! I will buy more of this bra in the future.
Another Data Point for sizing
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Medium
I'm a 29" band size with a 33" chest (32D). I got this bra initially in small and had to return since my breasts were falling out the sides. The Medium fits perfectly.
You can read other reviews for details as I have the same complaints:
straps are uncomfortable
not anything special about the style or cut
not especially supportive but will do the job for smaller breasts
decent find for a rare wool bra
sea glass color is pretty
so comfortable!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: medium
Purchased for my girlfriend and she loves it. Great for travel. The bra doesn't get stinky because of the wool mix and it packs light. Going through the airport is a breeze without the pat down of wired bras. Good bra and super comfy.
Not too shabby
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: medium
I really hate wearing bras, but needed one while i exercise. I have found sports bras to be tight and uncomfortable, but this one has a nice amount of stretch and is thin enough where you don't feel like your flesh is being constricted. I'm not entirely sure how this would work out for a lady with boobs larger than mine, but for 34 B it's quite comfortable! Also, the wool is a big plus. Soft, supple, and doesn't retain odor!
GREAT low-impact bra!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Medium
I absolutely LOVE this bra! I have two - one in black, one in sand dollar. I use them daily for around the house wear (I try to keep out of wired bras when I'm at home) and yoga. Have also used this bra for sweaty yardwork chores, biking, backpacking, and camping. Doesn't seem to matter how much I sweat in this bra, it refuses to stink!
The straps can be worn either crossed or straight, which makes this a versatile piece - can be used with regular tank tops or racer-back tops.
While trail running is a recommended use, I tried one run in this bra. Definitely not for me. This top does not provide enough support to keep the girls from bouncing all over the place on a run or doing some other high-impact activity, like plyometrics or intensity workouts. For anything with running or jumping, I like Moving Comfort - keeps everything solidly in place. I found the M to fit me well for this bra, and usually I wear a small. (For reference, I typically wear a 32D demi cup or balconette, as I don't fill out the upper half of full-coverage bras, and Cs of any style are too small.)
Overall, this bra is wonderfully comfortable and incredibly useful. Highly recommended!
Comfortable bra perfect for backpacking
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: L
Used for a JMT thru-hike this past August and it was great! Never washed it, and by the end of the trip it barely smelled (unbelievable, right?!) I ordered it in the Sea Glass color, L. The proble was that the color showed dirt pretty quickly and was permanently stained a brown color in some spots after my trip. It's great for low-impact activities, i'm 130lbs and usually wear a C, so I wouldn't wear this for anything involving running or jumping but for backpacking it's great, no rubbing with the straps, not itchy at all. Bonus: it dries VERY quickly.
Almost but not quite
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: M
Fit was great, but I'm afraid the metal pieces on the straps will rub when I put a backpack on - my main reason for a bra like this.
I've worn mine on the Camino in France (walking for 3 weeks with only a BP for luggage) for the last two years. I didn't notice the metal hooks while wearing my backpack. The backpack weight should be on the shoulders and hips without pressure on the back....so it wasn't a problem for me as there was no rubbing on my back...and SUPER comfortable. Bonus is NO SMELL absorption thanks to the merino. I highly recommend these bras over the sports bra when it's hot, I've worn both and these were much lighter and more comfortable.
Awesome Bra!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Medium
The Ibex Balance Bralette is a stellar every day bra or low-impact activity holster. Hands down this is by far the best low-impact sports bra that I have ever had. I'm continuously impressed with how quick-drying, anti-odor, and anti-chafing it is. My purchase was inspired by my husband, who has been raving about his Ibex merino wool underwear for months now. And now, because of this bra, I too am incredibly obsessed with utilizing merino wool as underwear, especially when conducting aerobic activities. I went with the black color, as most of my sports bras are dark colors.
What I love the most about this bra is its versatility - I can hike, climb, and bike in this bra without feeling like I've got the Florida Everglades amassing in my chest. I have run in this bra before, but was also wearing a tank that has a built in bra already in the shirt. The bra held up fine, but I prefer to be a little bit more compressed than I was. The straps can be adjusted to a "spaghetti strap style" basic bra or cross back for racer-back style shirts or a little extra support - and the straps are very stable. I haven't had any issue with the straps suddenly coming loose from its respective loop, which I've often experienced with interchangeable bras. The strap adjusters are low-profile and very smooth. The ruching in the front is very subtle and isn't noticeable under thin shirts. The material is double paneled, so you're not super "showy" but it's not like you're wearing wonderbra armor.
As for the fit itself, I'm 5'short (2 or 3, who knows), weigh 110 pounds and wear anywhere between a 36A or a 34B, depending on the kind of bra. All of my boob weight is in my lower portion of my chest, so I find that while a size small sports bras fit, they often squeeze me uncomfortably in my upper rib cage. Additionally, I had read reviews about Ibex bras and the consensus was that they ran small. So, with all of this in mind, I purchased a size medium and it fits so wonderfully. The band is fairly thin, so there's not much support there by any means, but the fit itself is incredibly comfortable (and it doesn't look like I've got a uniboob). The band is fairly wide from mid chest to back, mostly consistent. The textile holds up to washings extremely well. I often prefer to hand wash my stuff, but it's held up in the washing machine just fine. And was accidentally dried by the manpanion and didn't shrink (thank goodness). This bra is amazing and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a low-impact merino wool bra.
Backpacked over 1,000 miles in this one
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Small
I walked the second half of the Appalachian Trail wearing this bra. I pretty much kept it on unless I was washing it. It wicked great, was warm when I needed it to be warm, and it didn't feel cold and clammy when wet.
I'm 5'4" and was around 130 lbs on the trail but mostly leg muscle. So I'd say I was a 34AA at the time and the 2012 model fit great in a small. I ordered the small again, as my original one is a little thread bare and stretched out in the straps after about 6 months of near continuos wear. And the 2014 small feels a bit small. I have certainly gained back some weight on top since 2012, but am still around a 34A. I wouldn't say it cuts into my curves exactly, but a medium might have been better this time. The 2012 said "Climb the Mountains and get their good tidings." and the 2014 one says "The art of wool." I will still wear it and hope it stretches a little or will save it for another backpacking trip where I'm likely to loose weight on top again.
great review. I am a 32B and bought one of these a couple years ago. Just a bit big for me and it rides up. So the new version may be just right. (BTW, 5'5
Totally worth it!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I'm very happy with my Balance Bralette! The straps are interchangeable, so I can wear with regular tanks and racer back straps. The bra is very soft and provides good support for my yoga and hiking. Great for multi-day backpacking trips, no stink! You may need to size up - I'm a 30/32 B and am comfortable in the Medium.
32B. Purchased S...fits great. IMO, fits like most XSs which is usually what I order. (This item is not available in an XS) Runs snugger than Icebreaker Siren Bra in XS and smaller than the Ibex Balance Light Bra in S. Personally, I would not run in this sort of thing...there is no compression. I like it for daily use and for travel. For long hikes, I prefer a bit more of a bra...even though I am NOT busty. Also note, this has adjustable straps. I have found such hardwear can painfully interfere with a backpack and even a heavy shoulder bag.
very comfortable
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I haven't worn it foe extended time yet, but it felt really comfy when I tried it on. Runs true to size. ordered a few more pairs. I think the bra would be great for hiking or skiing
Best Bra Ever!
I love natural fibers and was looking for a supportive wool bra for an outdoor expedition. I bought several different styles, including two from ibex and the icebreaker rush bra. This one is my absolute favorite! Not too big, not too small,.. just right (36b/ 10/12). Can be worn alone in the summer while hiking as well. Supportive but doesn't flatten you out like the icebreaker bra,.. comfortable and you can still breathe ;) I will most definitely be purchasing more!
Is this bra padded?

Silver Wings
She sits beside you on the train
She's the one who makes it rain
You see her in a suit with a briefcase at her side
But when the moon in full, she dances in the tide.
She gives without care and takes without thought
She watches as her dreams all come to naught
She attends all the meetings and is given a promotion
But she can capture your heart with the slightest motion.
She flies like a raven on ebony wings
She plans your fate with her magic strings
She can break up your soul and play with the shards
But the very next day she'll send you her regards.
She can twist your truth into lies
She can see the future with her eyes
You can catch her but you can't let go
She helps the sun stay aglow.
She's danger, she's poison, she's a knife in the dark
She can cackle like a crow and sing like a lark
She's the strength of the earth and the heat of the fire
She can pass through walls and you can't deny her.
She's something; she's everything--she's nothing at all
She'll watch you hit the ground then help break the fall
She's perfection; a nightmare--somewhere in between
She'll fall to pieces then come out looking clean.
She walks between the moon and sun
You think she's nothing then you think she's the one
She might seem caught, then she'll slip right through
And you'll never know that she's right beside you.
