Businesses pay taxes through individual shareholders | | Print | |
The letter by Chuck Sheketoff [IT'S TIME TO END THE CORPORATE TAX DODGE, May] makes me wonder if he is naïve or disingenuous. Since the Federal Tax Reform Act of 1986, business formations have overwhelmingly chosen structures that pass corporate tax profits directly to individual shareholder tax returns at a 9% Oregon tax rate rather than the 6.6% rate for C corporations. Businesses are paying one-third more as a result but it shows up on the individual taxpayer share. |

Darkness Under the Sun
eBook, Published by Harper Collins UK (25 Oct 2010)
An exclusive novella, available only as an eBook, from the
international bestselling master of suspense.
The chilling account of a pivotal encounter between innocence and
ultimate malice, Darkness Under the Sun is the perfect read for
Halloween - or for any haunted night - and reveals a secret, fateful
turning point in the career of Alton Turner Blackwood, the killer at the
dark heart of What the Night Knows, the forthcoming novel by Sunday
Times bestselling author Dean Koontz.
There once was a killer who knew the night, its secrets and rhythms. How
to hide within its shadows. When to hunt.
He roamed from town to town, city to city, choosing his prey for their
beauty and innocence. His cruelties were infinite, his humanity long
since forfeit. But still…he had not yet discovered how to make his
special mark among monsters, how to come fully alive as Death.
This is the story of how he learned those things, and of what we might
do to insure that he does not visit us.
Darkness Under the Sun is as chilling as it is unforgettable. It is
available exclusively for download in electronic book format. Praise
for Dean Koontz:
'A terrific pursuit story … clever, up-to-the-minute, and riveting' Guardian
'There's surprise after surprise, including a killer finale … a
read-in-one-go novel' Independent on Sunday
'Hits its pace from the first page and races through to a suitably
climactic ending' Sydney Sunday Telegraph
'Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a
literary juggler' The Times
'Psychologically complex, masterly and satisfying' The New York Times
Dean Koontz is an international household name whose hugely entertaining
parables for our times have been bestsellers in many countries, selling
seventeen million copies each year. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, he
lives with his wife Gerda, their dog Anna, and the enduring spirit of
their dog Trixie in southern California

Bale Loading Machine Components |

Bale Loading Machine Components
I am designing a Bale loading machine to load Small rectangular bales of 25kg.
The machine will be driven by its wheels so no hydraulics and no power being drawn from the PTO. An example of one can be seen http://marongfarmmachinery.com/sales/view.php/16 I would like to put a clutch on the axle so the conveyor doesn't run unnecessarily. I have seen some old farming implements with clutches on the axles that activate the mechanism. I would like to know what these clutches are called so i can find information on them. Are they off the shelf items? Do i have to design my own? If they are off the shelf items who sells them? I read up a little on different types of clutches and the description of a mechanical lock-up clutch seems to suite what I am looking for. unfortunately All search results for this bring up stuff about automatic transmissions on cars which is of no use to me. |
Jan31-12, 01:21 AM | #2 |
Hi, Yster.
I don't think that this is actually a real term, but when I was a little kid we called them "drag clutches". It works essentially the same as a centrifugal clutch, except that the operation is governed by an external actuator such as a solenoid or a hydraulic cylinder rather than flyweights. The best thing that I can think of to look into would be what is called an "air locker" differential that is used for heavy-duty 4x4 vehicles. It's like a manually controlled Posi-Trac or Limited-Slip unit, which is activated by a pneumatic cylinder. |
Feb1-12, 05:40 AM | #3 |
Thanks for the reply Danger
I just found a machine with a good example of what I'm looking for. One picture shows how it is when engaged and it's disengaged in the other picture. This one is not positioned where the mechanism is. The wheels and axle turn independently, engaging it locks them together and only then will the machine perform it's function. Something tells me this is an off the shelf item but I just can't seem to find anything like it anywhere |

Bale Loading Machine Components
The drive wheel was commonly called a bullwheel.
early farm implements were all pulled by horse so there was no PTO - everything was driven from the movement on the ground. there were binders, mowers, combines, you name it - anything that needed movement of the machinery. The farmer sat on a metal seat and operated the horses as well as a couple of levers to say left the mower or to disengage the mechanism from the bull wheel, which was just a locking mechanism within the axle. No need for a clutch at the low speed. So all you have to do is make up your own locking mechansim be it metal to metal, or if you prefer a belt drive from the ground driven wheel to your loader and just have a way of tightening the belt and away you go loading bales. |
Feb3-12, 02:05 AM | #5 |
Thanks a lot 256bits. I had my finger's crossed that I would be able to get an 'off the shelf' solution. It would have made my life a lot easier. The whole point of the project is to use as many off the shelf items as possible so that the user can just buy replacement parts from anywhere!
I guess it's off to the drawing board for me. |
Feb4-12, 01:17 AM | #6 |
Thanks for making me feel even older than I am, 256bits.
I remember harvest time with an uncle on my mother's side, with whom I lived, when his old Cockshutt tractor with the honkin' huge flywheel on the side powered the threshing machine 20 feet away through a twisted canvas belt. (The twist was to reverse rotation.) That was here. Later, at an aunt and uncle's place in the Valley (most of the way across the country), we stooked sheaves by hand after a horse-drawn swather. Every second armful had a couple of wasps in it, and I'm terrified of bugs. That was part of my summer vacation that I don't miss at all. Anyhow, Yster... I'm thinking of setting up something like a brake drum/shoe arrangement. That's similar to the "drag clutch" that I mentioned, except that they used locking lugs rather than friction for engagement. I know that I'm not expressing myself very well, and I'm sorry for that. I'm very tired. Perhaps tomorrow I can put something together that will make more sense. |
Feb5-12, 08:08 AM | #7 |
Sorry Danger - but making you feel older also makes you feel younger. Some of terms many will not understand - Cockshutt, threshing machine , flat canvas belt, stook, sheaves, swather. Took your shirt off and got a good tan I bet.

National Urban League Celebrates SCOTUS Ruling On Health Care Reform
NEW YORK (June 28, 2012) -- Today's Supreme Court ruling upholding the Affordable Care Act represents life-altering access to health care for millions of Americans, particularly African-Americans who have been twice as likely as whites to lack health insurance, National Urban League President and CEO Marc H. Morial said today.
"Health insurance can mean the difference between life and death, but even more often it can mean the difference between financial stability and ruin," Morial said. "Today the Supreme Court affirmed that our mission to build a fairer health care system is not only appropriate and pro-family, but constitutionally valid."
Health care costs are responsible for a majority of personal bankruptcies in the United States, Morial said.
Upholding the Act means that investments in preventive health screenings and community prevention efforts, like those operated by Urban League
Affiliates, will continue to move forward.
"The Court's ruling means 31 million more Americans have access to health insurance and senior citizens will pay less for life-saving medications," Morial said. "Insurers can't deny coverage for pre-existing conditions or cancel coverage for policy holders when they become sick.
"This is an enormous victory for all Americans. I'm proud of the work the Urban League movement has done to advocate for these reforms, and grateful for the wisdom of the justices for recognizing the essential virtue of the law."
Morial noted that Court's ruling on Medicaid expansion increases the pressure on state advocates and civil rights community to ensure all states implement the expansion that will help to ensure more African Americans receive coverage.
"Now that the constitutional question has been settled, we can now turn our attention to the states as they implement the provisions that will mean healthier lives and financial stability for millions of struggling families," he said.

A Brisbane customer allowed us to share a photo of their newly completed guest powder room, that features Harlequin 'ENTICE' wallpaper. It is so elegant and in this colourway Silver Sparkel, Putty & White (110096) it finishes the room so beautifully. The lighter colour trees have tiny crystal beads that shimmer ever so subtly (no, the kids won't be able to pick them off!). The room was lovely to begin with, but the wallpaper just takes it to a whole new level.
We stock many Harlequin wallpaper in our online shop – CLICK HERE
Fabric Studio are now stocking WALLCOVERING PASTE from Harlequin, manufacturers of quality wallpaper. This high quality specialty READY MIXED ADHESIVE comes in a 5kg tub, which is enough to apply 6 standard rolls of wallpaper (based on 10 metre long rolls).
Price: $71.50 per tub (incl. 10% gst)

It's safe to say that cats like boxes. And cats like to be near you. One of my cats, Dash, not only likes these things, he takes it to the next level by being ALL UP IN YO BISNITCH ALL THE TIME. On your lap, on your keyboard, in your laundry, etc. etc. Lately Dash has been commandeering every box that UPS has brought to the house. While I'm glad that he is happy as shit rolling in packing peanuts instead of waking on the cutting board when I'm trying to make dinner for once, I don't want to look at cardboard boxes from Amazon and Zappos all over my house. So I decided to make Dash a nice wooden box all his own. He can lie in it when I'm doing a project, or when I'm trying to get some work done on the computer, or whenever he's bugging the shit out of me. EVERYBODY WINS.
I think he likes it.

Well darn, that simpsons brush is already sold
and this is why we cant have nice things
thanks for the info
As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big.
I SOOO wanted to get those Parada clippers...guess someone beat me to it :/
I just placed an order !!!
Wakka Wakka! - Adam
So, how exactly does one buy something off the scratch+dent section? Everything there is listed as "out of stock".
Just call me Chris.
It is about as bad as the BST forum heh. People click too fast and I miss out lol. But yeah I notice he puts up items randomly whenever he gets them in, no set schedule or anything, but the "out of stock" means it is sold and won't be coming back unless another ones comes in scratch and dent.
I was at the Scratch & Dent page when most of the items were still unsold for this round. They sell out pretty quickly. I think the new items were posted on the July 1st or 2nd. The Omega brush had already sold when I visited.

ASDIP Steel – Steel Column Design
About ASDIP Steel: Overview | Benefits | Features | Documentation
Modules: Steel Base Plate Design | Steel Column Design | Steel & Composite Beam Design
Columns are structural members that mostly work in compression and bending, and only very short columns can be axially loaded to their yield stress. Often buckling, or sudden bending as a result of instability, occurs prior to developing the full material strength.
The program performs the design of a steel member subjected to axial load and bending moments about its two principal axes. The program is based on the AISC ASD/LRFD methodology and checks the axial, bending, and combined stresses according to the AISC 360-05 Specifications (13th Ed. Manual). Either service or factored loads may be specified.
Two types of procedures may be followed in order to calculate the required strength and the design requirements, depending on the source of the loads entered as data:
a) Second-Order Analysis, which considers the P-Delta and P-delta effects.
b) Amplified First-Order Analysis. In this case the program will calculate the amplified moments based on the information provided.
Input Data
The input data required by the program includes the material properties and member geometry, as well as applied loads. In addition, the effective length K-factors in both X and Y directions are required.
As an example, consider a 30′-0″ W10x54 steel column subjected to a factored axial compression of 100 k and bending moments of 60 and 20 k-ft around the strong and weak axis respectively. Effective length factors are Kx = 1.0 and Ky = 0.7. Loads are the result of a second-order analysis.
The column size is adequate since the design ratios for compression, flexure and combined forces are 0.29, 0.29 and 0.69 respectively. The program has a design option, which finds all the sections that pass the specified criteria in a sortable table, as shown below.

Community garden planned at Phoenicia Elementary School
PHOENICIA, N.Y. — A grassroots group called Shandaken Community Gardens is accepting applications from people who would like a plot at a community garden that will be created in front of Phoenicia Elementary School in early May.
School Principal Linda Sella said the community garden project, recently approved by the Onteora Board of Education, will be separate from a 7-year-old garden behind the school that is used by teachers and students as an outdoor classroom.
Sella said she likes the idea of the new garden as a way to bring the community and school together, and to further teach students an important lesson.
"Food comes from the land, and we have to take care of it, like we have to take care of our water," she said.
Valerie Linet, who chairs the garden committee, said there will be 20 to 30 plots that each will measure 10 by 10 feet and that two will be set aside for educational purposes for both the school and community residents.
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County has assigned a master gardener to help with the Phoenicia project.
Linet said gardeners will pay $25 per season for each plot to cover infrastructure costs. The group also welcomes additional donations of cash, tools and supplies. A waiting list will be created if necessary.
"The only thing we can promise right now is a fence, space and people willing to help new gardeners learn," Linet said. "We will really be creating it together."
Linet said the project aims to give people of different ages and backgrounds a space to come together through a common activity and to give families a healthy way to address child obesity.
"It is important that people know where food comes from and take an active part in learning how to feed themselves and their families in a sustainable way," Linet added. Continued...
The group Catskill Mountainkeeper, which runs a school gardens program in Sullivan County, also is assisting with the Phoenicia project and covering insurance costs.
Kathy Nolan, the director of Mountainkeeper's High Peaks region, said the initiative began because small family farms were closing in the economic downturn and fewer young people were graduating from high school with basic knowledge about farming in an area with an agriculture-based economy.
Linet said people interested in getting a plot or making a donation should e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

The America Invents Act of 2011 formed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and replaced inter partes patent reexamination with two inter partes dispute proceedings: inter partes review (IPR) and post-grant review (PGR). (Ex parte patent reexaminations continue to be available for unexpired U.S. patents).
IPR and PGR will introduce new, court-like elements to patent office proceedings, injecting new strategic considerations and requiring experience and skills new to patent office advocacy.
Kilpatrick Townsend's Patent Reexamination & Inter Partes Disputes team draws on its patent prosecution and patent litigation practices that are each among the largest in the world. These practices provide an unmatched combination of deep experience and skill in both patent offices and courts with comprehensive science and engineering academic credentials and industrial experience.
Our Patent Reexamination & Inter Partes Disputes team has represented patent owners and challengers in more than 100 U.S. patent reexamination proceedings and is well-experienced with European opposition proceedings that are quite similar to the new U.S. proceedings. Our litigators conduct focused and efficient discovery and are masters of the courtroom, coupling penetrating cross examinations with winning oral arguments, skills and experience that will be essential in the new IPR and PGR proceedings.
In short, Kilpatrick Townsend's team has the credentials, expertise, experience and judgment to guide its clients successfully through the challenges of the new IPR and PGR proceedings.
In an ex parte patent reexamination, the United States Patent and Trademark Office reconsiders the validity of a previously issued patent in response to a request by a patent challenger or owner. One patent examiner considers whether the patent claims are novel and non-obvious over prior patents and printed publications cited by the reexamination requestor. Other types of prior art and theories of patent invalidity cannot be asserted during an ex parte reexamination and must instead be raised in litigation. Unlike a typical lay jury or judge in litigation, a patent examiner will have extensive experience with the technical subject matter. Furthermore, unlike a court jury or judge, a patent examiner is not required to presume that the patent is valid and is therefore not find "clear and convincing" evidence of invalidity. After filing a request for reexamination, a party that is not the patent owner cannot participate in an ex parte reexamination, only the patent owner and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office are involved.
Ex parte patent reexaminations require intimate familiarity with the rules of practice and procedure in U. S. Patent Office, as well as technical expertise in the patented subject matter. Drawing on its extensive reexamination experience, deep and wide-ranging technical expertise and world-class patent prosecution practice, the Kilpatrick Townsend Patent Reexamination & Inter Partes Disputes team effectively handles strategically important and technically complex patent reexaminations across a daunting range of cutting edge technologies.
Patents can be challenged in two new inter partes dispute proceedings as of September 16, 2012: inter partes review (IPR) and post grant review (PGR). IPR and PGR are proceedings in the patent office to review patentability of patent claims and both are before a three member Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).
Patentability may be challenged in an IPR only on a ground that could be raised under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 (novelty) or 103 (obviousness), and only on the basis of prior art consisting of patents or printed publications. The PTAB will institute an IPR if it finds a reasonable likelihood that the petitioner would prevail with respect to at least one challenged patent claim, and a final determination by the PTAB will be issued within one year (extendable for good cause by six months). IPR is available for a patent issued at any time but cannot be sought until after the later of: (a) nine months after the issuance or reissuance of the patent; or (b) termination of any PGR that has been instituted for the patent.
A PGR is initiated by a petition filed no later than nine months after the issuance or reissuance of the patent. Patentability may be challenged in a PGR on any ground under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 (novelty), 103 (obviousness), 112 (specification) or 251 (reissue of defective patents). The PTAB will initiate a PGR if it is more likely than not that at least one challenged claim is unpatentable, and a final determination is to be issued within one year (extendable for good cause by six months). Except for certain "business method" patents, PGR will only be available for patents applied for after March 15, 2013, so this proceeding will be little-used until about 2014 when patents begin to issue from March 15, 2013 and later applications.

Newton Wins Lincoln GP in Style
© Cheryl King
Chris Newton danced away on the final climb of the Lincoln Grand Prix to win the prestigious event for the second time in his career. A race that is always hotly contested by riders from home and abroad, the Lincoln GP is arguably the number one race on the British calendar.
Ten laps of Lincoln's historic streets including cobbled climbs and a technical course make for a demanding and entertaining three hours plus of racing. The Rapha Condor Sharp boys put on a superb display in front of record crowds, Kristian House stringing the field out early to show the British National Road Race champ and his team mates meant business. Olympic medallist Newton, looking to have found fine form at just the right time, used his tactical prowess to stay at the front and attack when it mattered. Speaking after his win he said: "I love riding my bike as much as ever", and it shows. Russell Downing, one of three Team Sky riders racing stated: "Rapha rode unbelievable today. They showed just what a professional outfit they are." Chapeau.

In this photo taken Monday, Oct. 29,, 2012 trucks travel along Interstate 75 near Stockbridge, Ga. .Even amid a struggling economy with high unemployment, trucking companies had a tough time hiring young drivers willing to hit the road for long hauls. Now the U.S. is speeding toward a critical shortage of truck drivers in the next few years as the economy recovers and demand for goods increases, an expert in the inner-workings of supply chains said in a report Tuesday.
Tribe Transportation is a growing company that just added 10 new trucks to its tractor-trailer fleet. The problem has been hiring people to drive them. So far the Georgia-based company has filled four of the jobs, leaving six vacancies. The new hires are mostly veteran truckers in their 50s, men who probably won't spend too many more years behind the wheel, said Matt Handte, Tribe's executive vice president for sales and operations,

This season marks Thompson's sixth year as a head dance coach and her fifth as head coach of the Saint Xavier University Dance Team, Paw Prints. The former NBA Milwaukee Bucks dancer led the 2009-10 team to a first place finish in the Collegiate Hip-Hop Division at the UPA National Cheer & Dance Championships in Minneapolis, Minn. Thompson looks to recapture the team dance title as they compete for the first time at the NAIA/NDA Collegiate Dance Competition in Daytona Beach Florida.
Thompson graduated from Aurora University (Ill.) with a degree in Recreation Administration and a minor in Communications. She currently is receiving her Masters in Leadership- Higher Education and works for an area college where she is the graduate assistant in the Multicultural Affairs Office. Thompson's 15-year dance career includes stints with the Milwaukee Bucks, the Kane County Eagles' semi-pro football team, the Rockford Lightning of the CBA and for the Chicago Machine of the MLL.

Have to dry off the blowup stem before you try to insert, or it comes out too easily. May be a little too thin plastic for the use by children who like to fall on the football. Our 5-yr-old and 3-yr-old grandsons love these.

I love my Hp printer!!!!
only cartridge I ever use
By BUZZ
from Hollidaysburg, PA
My printer is HP and of course, a HP ink cartridge is recommended. Some friends suggest using a refilled cartridge due to the cost of a new one, but why fix something that isn't broken is my mantra! I like the ease of replacing the cartridge and the refund I get for returning the old cartridge to my local Staples and it doesn't take forever to receive it. This cartridge is used for printing documents and coupons I redeem at my local grocery store, so it is important that the print is clear and easy to read. HP ink cartridges will always be my choice regardless of the price.

Why I Am Running
As the Great Recession concludes and new economic realities establish, communities must be strategically repositioned to succeed. I am running for Reno City Council because I have been focused upon how cities work my entire adult life. I possess leadership skills to make difficult and transparent decisions that must be made in light of Reno's compromised fiscal capacity.
As the recession brought Reno's growth to a screeching halt, new plans must be made. I have the expertise to facilitate planning efforts to establish a new vision for our community so that it may claim a deserved spot as an attractive mountain west city with a high quality of life. These plans will reflect community preferences, be fiscally responsible and lay the groundwork for Reno's retooled economic vitality.

Systematic Analysis of Neural Projections Reveals Clonal Composition of the Drosophila Brain
Current Biology, Volume 23, Issue 8, 22 April 2013, Pages 644-655

During development neurons are generated by sequential divisions of neural stem cells, or neuroblasts. In the insect brain progeny of certain stem cells form lineage-specific sets of projections that arborize in distinct brain regions, called clonal units. Though this raises the possibility that the entire neural network in the brain might be organized in a clone-dependent fashion, only a small portion of clones has been identified.
Using Drosophila melanogaster, we randomly labeled one of about 100 stem cells at the beginning of the larval stage, analyzed the projection patterns of their progeny in the adult, and identified 96 clonal units in the central part of the fly brain, the cerebrum. Neurons of all the clones arborize in distinct regions of the brain, though many clones feature heterogeneous groups of neurons in terms of their projection patterns and neurotransmitters. Arborizations of clones overlap preferentially to form several groups of closely associated clones. Fascicles and commissures were all made by unique sets of clones. Whereas well-investigated brain regions such as the mushroom body and central complex consist of relatively small numbers of clones and are specifically connected with a limited number of neuropils, seemingly disorganized neuropils surrounding them are composed by a much larger number of clones and have extensive specific connections with many other neuropils.
Our study showed that the insect brain is formed by a composition of cell-lineage-dependent modules. Clonal analysis reveals organized architecture even in those neuropils without obvious structural landmarks.

Comprehensive Maps of Drosophila Higher Olfactory Centers: Spatially Segregated Fruit and Pheromone Representation

SummaryIn Drosophila, ∼50 classes of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) send axons to 50 corresponding glomeruli in the antennal lobe. Uniglomerular projection neurons (PNs) relay olfactory information to the mushroom body (MB) and lateral horn (LH). Here, we combine single-cell labeling and image registration to create high-resolution, quantitative maps of the MB and LH for 35 input PN channels and several groups of LH neurons. We find (1) PN inputs to the MB are stereotyped as previously shown for the LH; (2) PN partners of ORNs from different sensillar groups are clustered in the LH; (3) fruit odors are represented mostly in the posterior-dorsal LH, whereas candidate pheromone-responsive PNs project to the anterior-ventral LH; (4) dendrites of single LH neurons each overlap with specific subsets of PN axons. Our results suggest that the LH is organized according to biological values of olfactory input.

SummaryTo fully understand animal transcription networks, it is essential to accurately measure the spatial and temporal expression patterns of transcription factors and their targets. We describe a registration technique that takes image-based data from hundreds of Drosophila blastoderm embryos, each costained for a reference gene and one of a set of genes of interest, and builds a model VirtualEmbryo. This model captures in a common framework the average expression patterns for many genes in spite of significant variation in morphology and expression between individual embryos. We establish the method's accuracy by showing that relationships between a pair of genes' expression inferred from the model are nearly identical to those measured in embryos costained for the pair. We present a VirtualEmbryo containing data for 95 genes at six time cohorts. We show that known gene-regulatory interactions can be automatically recovered from this data set and predict hundreds of new interactions.

► Standard model brains are generated for assembling a brain from single neurons ► The Drosophila brain consists of families of local processing units ► Processing units consist of aggregates of local neurons linked by tracts ► A mesoscopic map of wiring networks is constructed for predicting information flow
- Background
- Animal behavior is governed by the activity of interconnected brain circuits. Comprehensive brain wiring maps are thus needed in order to formulate hypotheses about information flow and also to guide genetic manipulations aimed at understanding how genes and circuits orchestrate complex behaviors.
- Results
- To assemble this map, we deconstructed the adult Drosophila brain into approximately 16,000 single neurons and reconstructed them into a common standardized framework to produce a virtual fly brain. We have constructed a mesoscopic map and found that it consists of 41 local processing units (LPUs), six hubs, and 58 tracts covering the whole Drosophila brain. Despite individual local variation, the architecture of the Drosophila brain shows invariance for both the aggregation of local neurons (LNs) within specific LPUs and for the connectivity of projection neurons (PNs) between the same set of LPUs. An open-access image database, named FlyCircuit, has been constructed for online data archiving, mining, analysis, and three-dimensional visualization of all single neurons, brain-wide LPUs, their wiring diagrams, and neural tracts.
- Conclusion
- We found that the Drosophila brain is assembled from families of multiple LPUs and their interconnections. This provides an essential first step in the analysis of information processing within and between neurons in a complete brain.

Comments about Zamberlan 310 Skill GT Hiking Boots - Men's:
These boots live up to all the reviews. They are comfortable, lightweight, waterproof, and have great grip. They took almost no time to break in. The material does look to need a little polish on them now and again, something i was not expecting in a hiking boot.

Comments about Zamberlan 310 Skill GT Hiking Boots - Men's:
Great boot and only had two issues: (1) would have liked a higher ankle portion, and (2) softer sole. Need to wear gaiters to keep out snow or other objects in rough terrain, but still better than having a stiff ankled boot. Didn't take long to break-in and they were very comfortable. However, the sole is a bit stiff, and although the aggressive tread is great on most terrain, they slide on wet rocks more than other boots have. I still love this boot though because the quality is amazing.

Comments about Zamberlan 310 Skill GT Hiking Boots - Men's:
I really wanted to like these boots. Wore Asolo for years with (in hindsight) relatively minor complaints. Had several friends recommend Zamberlan. All the features of this boot looked good on paper and I really liked the 3/4 height.
I used these boots for day hikes, multi-day (2-7 day) backpack trips, and hunting. All conditions - hot/cold, wet/dry, on/off trail, dirt, rock, mud, ice, snow, etc.
First problem was the incredibly long break in period. These boots made my feet hurt in a place no other boot ever has, on the outside edge of the feet just forward of the heel area. First couple times out they would hurt within just a couple blocks of home. I bought some Zamberlan proofing cream and applied liberally hoping to soften up the leather a little bit. After approximately 50 paved miles (both flat and stairs) they were finally broke in enough that I felt comfortable wearing them for long day or multi-day hikes. No comfort issues after break in period.
The boot leather seemed to damage easily. I don't mind scuffs, but after a few days in rocky terrain I noticed a couple "divots" in the leather with little dog ear-like flaps of leather hanging off. I expected better . . . my Asolos never did this.
The final straw was the soles. If you look at the product pics you'll see they're black with gray and red highlights. Most of the little red highlighted knobs broke off. And the gray stuff started to come unglued from the rest of the sole.
Service and delivery comments:
I'm really grateful for REI's 100% satisfaction guarantee. I probably put 200 miles on these boots before I was fed up with them and the clerk at my local store could not have been more understanding and accomodating. I kind of thought they might argue since the boots were clearly so worn, but for that I price I just expect boots to last longer than a few months. I went back to Asolo. For what it's worth the helpful guy in the shoe department commented that he's never seen a pair of Asolos come back . . .

Comments about Zamberlan 310 Skill GT Hiking Boots - Men's:
While I have yet hiked with these boots, they appear to be well made from quality material. I particularly like the all leather construction and feel of an old school hiking boot. The only seams are at the back of the boot so they should be pretty impervious to water amd at the same time minimize potential wear points and hot spots.

Comments about Zamberlan 310 Skill GT Hiking Boots - Men's:
These are probably the best on the market, and everybody should have them. Even if your only a day hiker, why? Because of the outstanding traction, if you fall once coming down the trail and catch youself on your wrist injurying yourself it's worth the cost to avoid that.
Lower cost boots made of pieces of belly leather and synthetic fabric never work as well as the one piece full leather wrap around construction. I have a low volume foot and the lower laces eyelets close nicely so my toes won't ever hit the end.
Also I get a nice lock down of the heel. Lastly I've hiked these right out of the Box no problems. This is my second pair, I wore out the first hiking the Serria's the upper was fine but the tread lugs worn so I replaced them.

Comments about Zamberlan 310 Skill GT Hiking Boots - Men's:
I've had these for a month and the break in period isn't nearly over. That being said, I love putting these on and hitting any trail type; city park to mountain top. The construction is what I wanted in a high-quality long lasting boot. Two cuts of leather only, solid hardware, and no needless seems. I have enjoyed hiking in these boots so far ~40 miles. They're starting to soften up (though slowly) and contour to my feet. The Vibram soles and construction of these boots offer a rock solid base with little foot fatigue. The break in period will be long because these Zamberlan are old-school and stiff. The boots are especially stiff in the front to either side of my toes, this is the only area of 'pressure' as I feel the sides of my feet pressing into the leather. Also, the tongue is heavily padded which isn't an issue of comfort, rather, it leads to these boots getting a little warm in summer heat. I think these boots are great, Italian fit and leather, and to top the list off, very stylish.

Reader Beware - I'm relatively new to serious hiking. Second - as I'm becoming increasingly aware, each hiker has unique requirements for what represents a good fit. Regardless, after a month of hiking I've found the Zamberlan 310 Skill GT Boots really enjoyable.

Comments about Zamberlan 310 Skill GT Hiking Boots - Men's:
I was told there would be a 50+ mile break-in but they fit right from the time I bought them. The sales staff recommended I buy a 1/2 larger and they fit perfect with a heavy sock. Have done some day hikes (10 plus miles) and had no problems. It was wet/raining and my feet stayed dry, which is why I went with the all leather boot. I am looking forward to an extended pack trip so I can really put them to the test. Although a little on the expensive side you get what you pay for.

Comments about Zamberlan 310 Skill GT Hiking Boots - Men's:
Happy feet the second I sliped one on. This boot was at the top of my possible list when shopping and remained there after trying on several other possibles. The one piece leather was also a huge priority. 50 years of experience and many boots later, this one is by far the Mercedes Benz of boots for day hikes and backpacking in the harsh enviorments of Southern Utah...

Comments about Zamberlan 310 Skill GT Hiking Boots - Men's:
I have been backpacking with a heavy load (40+ pounds) for years without adequate foot wear an knew it was time to upgrade. I really wanted something waterproof which is important in my area which has a wet climate with many rivers and lakes. My only real concern was getting a boot that was too heavy since I know that adding weight to your feet is the same as adding even more weight to your pack.
The benefit of a solid stiff sole boot is foot protection and better weight distribution when walking on uneven terrain. I have found there is no escaping the weight issue. These types of boots are heavy, which is something that you will have to accept. In my assessment, the benefits are enough to overcome any concern I once had.
The boot itself is hand made in Italy and you can tell by the quality construction. Some of the other boots that I tried in the same price range felt either high in the toe or the heel or just sloppy in general. These boots felt great right away although I did get a half size larger than what I was trying with other brands.
With the very rigid sole I was expecting more of a learning curve before I became accustomed to causally walking in them which was not the case. The break-in time was nonexistent. I took about a half mile walk on one evening and then the next day walked for 5 or 6 miles (without a pack). My feet felt great after the hike. After more use because of the leather construction they will only get more comfortable.
I look forward to trying them with a pack and getting them wet. I also upgraded my sleeping bag to an ultra-light (1 pound 10 ounces) which will shave off some excess pack weight making me feel more at ease with this addition. If you are on the fence about this purchase I say do it! Have fun.
