Ssangyong Chairman W

Debut: 2008
Maker: Ssangyong
Predecessor: Chairman (1997)

With Mercedes technology and V8 engine, can Ssangyong beat Hyundai Equus ?

If you love watching Korean TV dramas and films, you may notice Ssangyong Chairman usually served as the limousines for the riches. Occasionally Hyundai Equus might be used instead, but my unofficial statistic shows Chairman has the highest exposure rate in screen play. Unlike the rest of the world, Korean customers are not fancy with imported luxury cars like Mercedes, BMW or Lexus. Individual customers might, but since corporate sales accounts for 70 percent of the Korean luxury car market, and Korean companies are extremely patriotic, they never look to foreign brands. Moreover, local limousines cost just a fraction of their imported competitors, so they are the easy choices for corporate customers. As a result, Ssangyong Chairman and Hyundai Equus can rely purely on domestic sales for survival. Between them, the Ssangyong usually came top on the sales chart.

Ssangyong is a very small company compared with Hyundai. It could play the role David against Goliath not because of its own strength, but with the invisible arm of Lord Mercedes. The old Chairman was derived from last generation Mercedes mechanicals and developed with the help of Mercedes engineers. Hyundai Equus also got foreign technology transfer, but that came from Mitsubishi. It's no brainer who would beat another.

Subjectively, this car doesn't feel like in the same league as its German rivals...

13 years has passed since the Chairman was born. Today, a new battle is going to break out. On one side of the boxing stage is the new generation Equus, this time a very decent work from in-house designers and engineers based on Genesis platform. Another side is the new Chairman W, where W stands for "world class". It is once again built upon Mercedes technology, this time upgraded to the S-class W220 platform. The German must have received a lot of money, otherwise it would not have generously supplied a platform having retired from its own frontline for just 4 years.

When we talk about W220 platform, we also mean its associated technology, such as Airmatic suspension, adaptive damping, 4matic 4WD system, radar cruise control... even the latest 7G-Tronic transmission is included in the supply list ! No wonder Ssangyong claims the new Chairman is a world-class luxury car, one that could compare with Mercedes S-class, BMW 7-series and Audi A8.

Subjectively, however, this car doesn't feel like in the same league as its German rivals. Its styling is conservative, outdated and lack of originality – it looks as if a BMW smashed into a Mercedes-Benz from the back, doesn't it ? The car actually looks more like a Chinese product. Ssangyong was briefly owned by China's Shanghai Automotive (SAIC) from 2004 to early 2009, but I think that is not the reason. Development of Chairman W seemed to have started well before the Chinese got effective control. In fact, SAIC was more interested in Ssangyong's SUV know-how, therefore it was not involved in the luxury car program. It should be Ssangyong's designers to take the responsibility for its poor looks. They have been notorious for odd-looking SUVs, so it's not surprise to see another bad design.

It looks as if a BMW smashed into a Mercedes-Benz...

The cabin is no better. No matter design, materials or build quality, it is not up to world standards. Korean tycoons must have questionable taste, otherwise the Chairman (as well as Equus) would not have employed a dreadfully dark interior trim, fake-looking wood inserts and a dashboard design without any style to speak of. There are many classy equipments, but their execution and attention to details is poor. For example, the rear LCD monitor has a cheap-looking pivot and plastic housing. This might be the outcome of cost savings, but it gives impression of a Chinese car again.

Nevertheless, the cabin does provide a lot of space. Bear in mind that Chairman is slightly larger than the old S-class in all dimensions, no matter length, width, height or wheelbase, so it can easily satisfy the most demanding tycoons. For those demanding true limousine grace and space, a long wheelbase version provides an additional 300 mm length to the cabin. Besides, both versions provide a 624-liter trunk, easily topping the class.

Apart from space, Chairman also provides a lot of luxury features, such as memory ventilated (heated and cooled) seats, slide and tilt rear seats, power doors, power trunk lid, 8-inch touch screen, armrest-mounted entertainment control system for both rows, Harman/Kardon 7.1 surround sound system (same as Mercedes S-class), an i-Drive like control system, drink cooler/warmer, speech command recognition… By the way, the seat adjustment control seems taken straight from Mercedes. Safety equipment includes the usual traction control, stability control, brake force distribution, tire pressure monitor, radar cruise control and 10 air bags. However, the lack of night vision infrared camera, drowsy detection and Pre-Safe system separates it from the current S-class. After, the German has to reserve the most sophisticated technology for themselves.

Chairman is slightly larger than the old S-class in all dimensions...

For the same reason, Chairman W is powered by older generations of Mercedes engines. Most of the sales are expected to go to the cheaper 3.2-liter (220hp) and 3.6-liter (250hp) straight-six engines. The Mercedes 3.2-liter straight-six was transferred to Ssangyong many years ago, initially powered its SUVs, then also the original Chairman. Later on, it was derived into 3.6-liter version. I still have fond memory of the Mercedes straight-six for its smoothness and eagerness, but compared with its latest V6, it is neither as quiet nor as frugal. Moreover, even in the largest form it is not torquey enough to pull the 2-ton Chairman with the enthusiasm we expected. This mean the 7-speed automatic gearbox works busier than we would like.

Previously, Chairman was never offered with V8 engines. As the new Hyundai Equus was set to get its in-house-developed Tau V8, Ssangyong had to respond with the purchase of the late Mercedes M113 5.0-liter V8. You might remember that engine had a special lightweight architecture with SOHC per bank, 3 valves and two spark plugs per cylinder. Its intake variable valve timing, variable intake manifolds and fuel-saving cylinder cut-off technology still sounds modern today. In the Chairman W, its power output is unchanged at 306 hp, though maximum torque has been reduced slightly to 326 pound-foot. The extra punch and smoothness should lift the image of Chairman W a lot.

However, I won't say the V8 is the pick of the range. Firstly, it costs as much as 50 percent more than the 3.6-liter car, which is unreasonable. Secondly, it is still not quick enough. It would be okay if it matched the old S-class' 6.2 seconds 0-60 mph acceleration, but hampered by an additional 160 kg of weight, the Chairman takes 6.6 seconds. How can it fight against the top Equus, which offers another 100hp from its 5.0-liter Tau V8 ? To do that, Ssangyong would need the latest Mercedes M273 V8 rather than the old M113.
Despite of its name, Chairman W is not world-class yet...

Anyway, Chairman W is never meant to be a performance limousine. Its suspension is tuned to bias strongly towards ride comfort, sacrificing body control and agility. Its steering does not talk to the driver. Its tires lack grip. Its braking performance is below average. Driving pleasure has never been considered in its making, because its drivers are always chauffeurs. What it cares is the VIP at the back seat, whether he is served with smooth ride and a quiet environment while he is reading investment proposals or making international phone calls. To the boss, Chairman is only a means of transportation or a mobile private room. From this point of view, more performance is not necessary.

Nevertheless, Mercedes and Lexus do the comfort job better. Yes, in Korea they ask for twice the money of Ssangyong, but they provide quality, technology and design unmatchable by the Korean car. Despite of its new name, Chairman W is not world-class yet.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

The Japanese-style role-playing game doesn’t lend itself well to direct sequels. Their entire premise depends on characters exploring the entire world to completion, so what’s supposed to happen next? The original Golden Sun and its 2003 sequel succeeded by telling a single story over two games. Failures include Final Fantasy X-2, which turned players into tourists in its old game world—then it made fun of tourists. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn manages to avoid most of the sequel issues by copying from its predecessors. They’re good models to follow, because their quick, fun gameplay put them at the heart of the RPG renaissance during the GameBoy Advance era. The fast-paced combat, character customization, and entertaining puzzles are all back, and that’s welcome enough after a seven-year hiatus for the series.

Dark Dawn’s story takes place 30 years after The Lost Age, starting with the children of the heroes from the first game. Each of those original heroes had a child, who all come together for their own epic quest. (It takes two-thirds of the game for any mention of a second parent—apparently heroes can procreate via mitosis.) Like most JRPGs, Dark Dawn relies far too much on dramatic irony and exposition for storytelling, but that’s par for the course here—fans of the originals and new players should be equally pleased and annoyed. The children form a solid starting party, but the game’s slavish devotion to the series means that four additional characters join up over the course of the game. The new heroes serve some narrative purpose, but they add nothing but annoyance to the gameplay.

The game’s biggest missteps occur when it deviates just slightly from the beaten path. The collection and character improvement portion of Dark Dawn focuses on a set of Djinn attached to your party members. The Djinn work like a compound of Pokémon and materia: You find them hidden away in various puzzles, and once collected, you attach them to characters to change their classes and abilities. The problem is that, unlike previous Golden Sun games, it is far too easy for you to miss a Djinn and never have the chance to get it later. This is a monumental annoyance, and one that pushes the player to either play with a guide, risk missing out, or feel compelled to restart the game and wade through the exposition again.

The difficulty is too low, with virtually no challenge until the very end of the game, when it suddenly ramps up to interesting levels. That ending does include a cliffhanger, which is notably unsurprising since half of the game’s setting is left to rot after the first few hours. It’s nice to have Golden Sun back as a series, and it’ll be even nicer if its designers make a few simple tweaks.

Rotorcraft Report: VH-71 Team Busts Weight Target, Loses Range

The efforts of Lockheed Martin, AgustaWestland, and Bell Helicopter to build the next U.S. presidential helicopter haven’t been getting good press lately, at least not from the U.S. General Accountability Office.

First, the GAO revealed one reason the U.S. Air Force didn’t pick the EH101 variant pitched by the same team for its next-generation combat search-and-rescue helicopter was "unsatisfactory performance under its current contract for the VH-71." That’s what the U.S. Navy has designated the next presidential helicopter, which is also based on the EH101 and to be flown by the Marine Corps.

In March, the GAO reported the Navy and the contractor team have reduced the projected range for the first increment of five VH-71s because the aircraft is 1,200 lb over the original weight specs.

Program officials are "working to stabilize the weight of the aircraft." The GAO said program officials reported the early aircraft "will have a limited service life" and their design may not be upgradable.

What is the best document to use if I want a percentage of someone else business.

Los Angeles, CA |

I am a Real Estate Investor and I do not have a Real Estate License. I've been buying and selling Real Estate for 15 years as a PRINCIPAL. Now my college friend wants to get in the business and ask me to show him how this is done. Since I am a Business Person, I agreed to show him for a percentage of every deal he does. What is the best Agreement, i.e. Master Fee Agreement, Joint Venture Agreement, etc. to use to legally arrange this deal without breaking any laws pertaining to obtaining a Real Estate License. I don't want one. There must be a business arrangement that can be made. Can I be a "Business Consultant" to him without a Real Estate License?

Attorney Answers 5

  1. Best answer

    I agree with my colleagues that you need to have an experienced real estate attorney in CA to assist you with the proper agreement. The enclosed article should give you some perspective as to what CA allows and does not allow in the licensed/unlicensed real estate activity umbrella.

    My answer is not intended to be giving legal advice and this topic can be a complex area where the advice of a licensed attorney in your State should be obtained.

  2. Does your friend have a real estate license?

  3. If you are talking about a lot of money, which one would surmise you are, just hire an attorney to do this for you. Asking here what is best is not the best way to go about this at all : )

  4. You want to hire a business/real estate attorney to prepare this agreement. There are too many details for any general answer on the site.

    Please note that I am answering this question as a service through Avvo but not as your attorney and no attorney-client relationship is established by this posting. An attorney-client relationship can only be established through signing a Fee Agreement and paying the necessary advanced fees.

  5. You do this business for 15 years and you are successful .Now you want your friend to come in.
    First how well you know your friend? Many Fraud cases with friends and real estate investors due to the changes in the market . Most of the times real estate includes big amounts of money.
    Check very well the past of your friend prior of doing any business with him.
    After that you really need a savvy lawyer to guide you. Maybe you are a great businessman but you need the right lawyer to help you.

I just wanted to say - I am loving this blog!

Thank you! These not only sound like great recipes, but will allow me justify getting a new crockpot. Yeah!

bevs said...

Saw you on Rachael today, congrats. Just curious since I missed a little of you segment, how many crockpots do you have? You must use more than one if you have side dishes with your meal. I can invision a line of crockpots on your counter. Good luck with your quest.

Hi Bev,

I currently own 5 Crock-Pots. I have 2 6qt ovals, a 4qt round, a 1.5 qt round, and a Little Dipper.

they all get a LOT of exercise!

julie said...

I saw you on RR today and I'm interested on how you convert recipies to crock pot cooking. I love my CP, but wish I could do more in them, I have 2. what is URL?

You are awesome! Saw you on RR and am loving this too! I will check back often!

First I would like to say thank you for puting forth so much effort and being willing to share your work with the rest of us.
I noticed that you have several GLUTEN FREE recipes and would like to know if you have any allergies to gluten. My Mom has this problem and only recently discovered exactly what was making her sick and is having a hard time finding recipes. She's so sxcited about your dough recipe you had with your Apple Dumplings and can't wait to try it.

hsmamato2 said...

I LOVE this blog- THANKYOU!!!! The gluten free recipes and ideas are great,I'm used to adjusting ingredients for our needs,woohoo! I'm ready to crockpot!

momma said...

Hey Steph,
Thought you might like some good news if you travel. I have been informed that Winn Dixie Has a huge Gluten free section.I had tears in my eyes as my boys were shrieking at all the Gluten free choices. I Wanted to give you my Pork Recipe. Take a Boston Butt 6 pounds or so. Take a half a cup of Tahini and 1/3 a cup of stone ground mustard and just lay it on the top and let some down the sides. It should be very dry pasty but I cook the Pork on Low 8 to 10 without water. Pork retains water. This is good served withn a side of black beans and crockpotted rice. Making a side of red wine vinegar marinated onions. And it's very Cuban. This pork translates well into bbq pork as leftovers. Good Luck

Just one questions - can someone tell me how much Red Wine Vinegar to put in Obama's Family Chilli - not sure what the measurement "T" is. Do hope someone can get back to me before tomorrow morning UK time when I need to turn the pot on and go to work! Many thanks

I recently moved into my rv and found, much to my annoyance, that my oven will not work. I posted a question on another popular recipe website that I was thinking about purchasing a crockpot. One lady told me about your website and I am amazed at what all one can do! Your site is amazing and I hope you never stop experimenting and never stop posting...thank you so much!

I can't thank you enough for making this blog. You have made my sister in-law and I crock pot crazy!

Thank you for posting the recipes alphabetically! Awesome!!! I found the Buffalo Chicken Lasagna recipe days ago and didn't remember the date of it. This list has saved me God only knows how much time of searching for it.

I must admit, you are not alone in your obsession. Its the standing joke daily when my family asks whats cooking in the crockpot today. I even made xmas dinner in the crockpot this past year. Everyone raved about how delicious it was and best of all I was able to actually visit with my guests as opposed to years past where I was a slave to the stove. I really enjoyed reading through your recipes and thank you for sharing them. I can't wait to try some of them!!

When I found your blog, I did a happy dance. I always loved my crockpot but found that I didn't like a lot of the recipes that came with it. I also wasn't impressed with some of the recipes I found on other sites. But, your recipes are flavorful, unique and not intimidating for a rather novice cook like me. Thank you!

Hi Stephanie! I'm so glad I found you!!!!! WoW u are teaching me to save time and money! I have a 6, 3 and a newborn baby! And I hated my self not trying for new foods and always eat out.

I guess I could just pick one off the internet and throw it in the crockpot, but I thought for sure you would have a tried and true recipe for me!

I'll keep checking back just in case you get inspired to post one. :D

W-O-W! FINALLY a website I can use! I typed in google searches for "cooking for one" and would either end up with college recipes or extremely complicated 17 ingredients ideas. I found this blog through reading comments on comments on comments in a random cooking website (I don't even remember the source). I'm bookmarking this so I can come back. I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow and am actually excited! Crockpot here I come :)

I just saw you on my TV! I followed you all through the internet year then moved a few times and forgot all about my crock-pot. But today my husband was watching football and I turned the channel in the other room andyou were on, peddling a new CrockPot.
How fun for me!

Thank You Thank You Thank You!! I am currently Pregnant with my second child and have fallen in love with my slow cooker.

Your list of recipes have saved me so much time and so far every one we have tired has been amazing. Thanks again.

Aurora said...

I was just looking through your table of contents and wondering if there might be a section for stuff your kids liked or "kids favorites" or something. I've got a toddler and that section sure might be useful for me.

Thanks for all these great recipes, I've been trying out one or two of them per week.

Armenia Develops Solutions To Prevent Cross-Border ‘Saboteur Raids’

Armenia - Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian (second from left) inspects Armenian army positions on the border with Azerbaijan, 08Aug2012.
Armenia - Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian (second from left) inspects Armenian army positions on the border with Azerbaijan, 08Aug2012.

Armenia has been putting in place ‘engineering facilities’ along with other measures to prevent attempts by Azerbaijani sabotage groups to infiltrate into its territory, according to Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian.

In an interview with RFE/RL’s Armenian Service (Azatutyun.am) on Thursday Ohanian acknowledged, however, that advanced systems are not available at all sections of the border with Azerbaijan, especially in the areas where they would be exposed to enemy fire.

Installing such expensive security equipment at sections exposed to constant ceasefire violations is simply not expedient, the minister explained.

But there is an opportunity to install security systems “where there is no immediate aggressiveness of the enemy and where the positions of the sides are far apart” so as to also ensure the expensive equipment does not get damaged or destroyed, he added.

Concerns over the possibility of Azerbaijani commando units’ or sabotage groups’ infiltrating into Armenian territory increased in Armenia in the last couple of weeks amid a major incursion reported near Nagorno-Karabakh.

The self-proclaimed republic’s authorities said last week a group of Azerbaijanis had been arrested in the region on suspicion of espionage and subversive activities. The Nagorno-Karabakh police force said the group members had killed one military serviceman and severely wounded a civilian. Another local teenager, it said, had been kidnapped and then brutally murdered by the alleged Azerbaijani saboteurs.

Still last week Minister Ohanian emphasized that none of the Azerbaijanis who had managed to infiltrate into the Kelbajar district near Nagorno-Karabakh, could cross into Armenia.

Speaking about the use of new technologies, the minister said that to make them more affordable for the purpose of securing the border, efforts are underway to ensure the availability of locally produced types of such devices. Some of which, he added, are at the stage of testing at present.

“We certainly cooperate with all the organizations that either make offers or work on our request. We particularly cooperate with enterprises working in the information technology sector,” Ohanian said.

Meanwhile, Executive Director of the Union of Information Technology Enterprises Karen Vardanian said that the current cooperation between the Defense Ministry and IT companies did not seem satisfactory to him.

“We have good relations with the Defense Ministry. Their representatives come and attend our technology displays and exhibitions. But there is no strategic approach,” he complained.

Vartanian said that today Armenia does develop technologies that can serve the cause of keeping the borders safe. “Moreover, Armenia exports these technologies and a number of companies even work for the military-industrial complexes of other countries,” he added.

This important book presents an overall, unitary view of the carbon nanoparticle world, in which both the positive and negative aspects of these recently discovered nanomaterials are critically described and elucidated.

The book provides an exhaustive account of C-nanotubes toxicity, mechanisms of toxicity and biocompatibility towards human and animal organisms as well as the entire biological environment. The detailed description of the physicochemical properties of these nano-objects will help facilitate discussion on their future applications in the biomedical field.

This book is unique in its understanding, interpretation and analysis of the mechanisms related to the physicochemical behavior of C-nanotubes, as it aims is to let readers be in contact with C-nanoparticles in order for them to take the many advantages these nanostructures can offer in the aforesaid field. Contributors include experts in the study of materials biocompatibility and toxicity, mainly as it concerns Carbon-nanoparticles toxicity.

7 Ways Mobile Printing Can Help You Capture Family Memories

Thanks to HP for sponsoring this post. Click here to see more of the discussion.

Smartphones with awesome camera capabilities make it super simple to snap and share photos in order to move on to the next potential memory in the making. With all the immediate sharing that’s taken over our culture in recent years, we sometimes fail to go back and experience those moments, because we know at any time, we can take our phone out of our pocket, purse, or bag and access those photos.

With mobile-ready printers, apps and services, the photos on your smartphone or tablet can be printed in as little time as it takes to organize, upload, and share those photos digitally.

I’m not the only person who has a smartphone (and a tablet) filled to the brim with photos from moments that aren’t doing anything but taking up space. As a result,  those photos may serve better as collectibles in a physical photo album rather than collecting dust on your mobile device.

Here are some reasons why mobile printing is a viable option to storing digital copies of your memories:

  • 7 Ways Mobile Printing Can Help You Capture Family Memories 1 of 8

    You're not the only person who has a smartphone filled with photos that aren't doing anything but taking up space. Here are 7 reasons to try mobile printing for documenting those family memories.

  • They’ll help you save time 2 of 8
    Mobile Printing - Save time via
    The ability to print mobile photos directly to a printer is much quicker than snapping a photo, waiting to get home to connect your smartphone to your computer, transferring the photos, opening up your printer software, and making sure you're printing in the correct format. Consider mobile printing for a streamlined way to document — and save — those family memories.
  • They’ll help save space on your mobile devices 3 of 8
    Mobile Printing - Save mobile storage space via

    All of that occupied space on your mobile device adds up fast. To avoid picking and choosing what stays and what goes when you hit your storage limit, print your mobile photos as you take them using a mobile-ready printer and a photo apps. This system will save you from frantically deleting files or paying extra for cloud storage space you will sparingly use.

  • You’ll have hard copies of all your photos 4 of 8

    What happens to your photos when you decide to close your social network account, the service shuts down, or your photos are used by the social networking sites for means you didn't approve of? Mobile printing will, at the very least, ensure they're preserved by you in ways you truly control, without jumping through hoops to retrieve them when social networks change their behavior and user agreements.

  • They’ll keep you organized 5 of 8

    This may just be a hunch, but I'm sure that in the beginning, you were all gung-ho about uploading all your photos to organize them digitally. Little by little, fewer and fewer photos make it from your mobile device to your photo organization software.

    Mobile printing may just force you to organize those physical photos in an album, collage, picture frame, or scrapbook, because live photos are begging to be displayed on a coffee table or hanging on a wall.

    Photo Credit: veer

  • You’ll get to share hard copies with friends and family 6 of 8
    Mobile Printing - Google Cloud Print via
    Services like Google Cloud Print lets users send smartphone photos directly to a family member's printer. All the family has to do is load up photo paper, and you and your smartphone can handle the rest.
  • You’ll be able to cherish family memories in a unique way 7 of 8
    Mobile Printing - Cherish more moments via

    The ability to immediately print smartphone photos using mobile-ready printers may just encourage you to go revisit memory lane more often if you have a neatly organized photo album on hand.

    Making a photo album, collage, or scrapbook as a family project could serve as an additional way to bond, which could create its own moment. It's either that or making your own "moments" by scouring countless blog posts, thumbing through your user's manual, or waiting on hold to find out the best way to stream photos from your mobile device or computer to your TV.

  • You’ll have easier access to your photos 8 of 8

    There's nothing like looking at a physical photo collection to spark memories versus viewing photos on a small digital display. Now I'm not suggesting you ditch your digital photo storage strategy completely, but in the end, mobile printing gives us the ability to quickly and easily print and view photos that would otherwise disappear within the thousands of bytes currently collecting dust on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Answer a question Ask a question

How can I help my baby sleep better at night?

My son seems to be restless at night. He tosses and turns and cant seem to get into a deep sleep. During the day he naps great, but come night time he fights his sleep horribly, then when he finally gives it up and falls asleep its not long before he is awake. I have tried creating a better routine, a warm lavendar bath, bedtime stories, a night light....but nothing helps. What can I do to help him and myself get a better night's sleep??

Have you tried swaddling him? My baby sleeps so much sounder when he is not waking himself with his wild arms and legs.

The industry standard.

Tanner Hall's not exactly what you'd call a traditional dude, but his signature Armada THall Ski is surprisingly keeping things pretty old-school. Don't confuse old school with boring, though; the THall is still a progressive freestyle tool that's hell-bent on making short work of whatever jump, jib, or rail you line up. There's traditional camber throughout the ski for pop and edge control, but a TZone wood core and carbon Kevlar stringers stiffen up the tail while keeping the tip nice and flexy. That keeps you you buttering and ollieing with ease without sacrificing edging power or the ability to carve into icy takeoffs.

The whole ski is also laid up with a fiberglass laminate for serious power and pop, which'll come in handy whether you're rallying through the park or going off on all sorts of natural jibs. Armada's AR50 construction features sidewalls underfoot and a cap construction in the tip and tail, which reduces swing weight without affecting edge hold, letting the THall rally down hardpack as well as it tees off in the park. It also comes correct with rugged 2.5mm Impact edges and a lightning-quick S7 sintered base to keep you cruising, because THall's not gonna let a few dings slow his roll.

  • Traditional camber
  • TZone wood core (softer tip, stiffer tail)
  • Fiberglass laminate matrix
  • Carbon Kevlar tail stringers
  • AR50 hybrid cap and sidewall construction
  • 2.5mm Impact edges
  • S7 base

Not very comfortable

I love Patagonia products and have been wearing them for 20+ years; however, I was really disappointed with these shoes. They look great, but once you put them on, you realize they are not what you expected. Little support and comfort. Returned these.

Holds water well and stays upright so you can clean those dirty dishes. Just big enough for a small group. For larger groups I would definitely get the 20L version.

Best thing for cleaning the camp kitchen

  • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

This sink is huge. Great for hauling water from the source to camp and then folding into the size of a small plate afterwards. We used our to wash dishes and then douse the fire at the end of the night.

I use 3-10L to teach"leave no trace"

  • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I was teaching a class for the adults in leadership at the Boy Scouts of America using 3- 10L . For Scouters it's called Wood Badge. All three buckets opened up well, did their job, dried quickly. Yes, these can be a little pricy, but how much can one person spend when it comes to our environment? I'm sorry that many people sent theirs back or didn't like this product. I think these are slowly changing how we do business in the wild or the backyard...remember, "leave no trace."

Really handy

  • Familiarity: I've used it several times

This thing is great. Its nice to be able to clean stuff

Not Worth the Price.

  • Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I really wanted this work. After trying it out for the first time for camping, it would not hold up properly. I know that some people exchange it and sometimes get a better one. But I just don't see the point in hoping that the next time around, it will work, when it's not exactly a cheap item. I'm looking for something that will be consistently good and worth the money.

4 5

wash, rinse, repeat

  • Familiarity: I've used it several times

I am generally more of cook-in-and-eat-out of one container person, but I spent the last holiday glamping with some friends. When you cook three, five course meals a day, you need this. You need two. I thought it worked really well until I took my turn for dishes and some how stabbed the bottom with a knife and totally ruined it. I bought this a replacement, but would consider getting a set if I was doing extended car camping or for a solid base camp kitchen. Just be very very careful!

5 5

Initial disappointment

I picked one of these up at a local retailer as I was heading out of town to go camping. I was in a bit of a hurry and never thought about opening it up to see how it worked prior to continuing on to my destination. Similar to another reviewer the one I purchased just did not work, no matter what I tried the rim was saddle shaped and the sink would not stand up or hold water making me a bit regretful of my purchase. After my trip I stopped at the retailer I purchased the sink at to see if I could exchange it for another. While at the retailer I ended up going through all of their inventory with the assistance of a sales associate and each one was exactly the same with the exception of the last one on the display peg that was clearly older packaging, that one worked correctly. In examining them it was clear that there were differences between the one that worked properly and the newer ones on display. The older one the diameter of the rim was smaller than the rest of the sink and seemed more flexible while the newer ones the diameter of the rim was the same as the rest of the sink and the rim was stiffer. Needless to say the sales associate pulled all of the newer sinks off the shelf to return them to the manufacturer. I'm just glad that they had one that worked as it should because this is a really neat item, the one I now have does exactly what it should and does pack down nice and small. Regarding star ratings I'm giving the one I now have a 5, the 2 dozen I looked at that didn't work would have gotten a 1.

5 5

You can actually clean your dishes

I have the 5L and the 20L. The 5 is for solo trips and the 20 is for group trips. It is nice to actually be able to clean all your dishes rather than rinsing them out. They can be a bit of a pain at first but play with them a bit and you will find how to keep them stable

Ideal camping kit

  • Gender: Male
  • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I just love this kitchen sink. It is very sturdy and reliable, folds down really small and weighs next to nothing but when needed, it opens up to 20 litre capacity and makes washing up an absolute cinch. I love this product for reducing the ecological footprint and helping preserve sanctity of water sources.

2 5

Kitchen Sink

  • Gender: Female
  • Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

Bought 2 of these for my grown, camper son. He had reviewed these thoroughly and was sure this was what he wanted. When they arrived, he couldn't get them to stand up even though he filled one completely w/water. The steel cable wouldn't straighten out enough to hold stable. He decided to return them both and try something else. I wanted him to give them an on-the camping-site test but he was afraid that using them would keep him from being able to return them for a refund. So, back they went.

Sea to Summit Kitchen Sink

The Kitchen sink is great for carrying and storing water for cooking, washing up or washing yourself.

Shaping chore....

Won't be using that much water to wash up as with the 10L sink, which is good.. Will be carrying them both. Well made and doesn't take up much room. When first opening up, the steel cable rim on the 5L sink can become a chore to open (Shape).. But it can be done....

4 5

nice sink

This is a great sink for quick clean up, if you want a sink that will pack up super small. It's a little hard to get to stand up. But, it still works well.

4 5

Incredibly durable and useful

I’ll preface this review with my cut and paste statement that I work as a backcountry backpacking guide in Yosemite National Park. Nearly all of the products I take the time to review have seen at least a half a season, if not more, of use... and I’m committed to not bothering to write a review until I feel like I’ve really gotten to know a product. I never thought I’d bother to write reviews, but I’ve recently decided that since I’ve spent so much time over these last many years reading reviews, and finding a tremendous amount of value in articulate and well-informed opinions, that I wanted to give back to the community. So, with that being said, here we go...

We absolutely beat these to death every season. On my personal trips I use them as well. They are great not only for doing dishes, which is their primary use on our guided trips, but they also work well for carrying and storing water for camp. Just turn it inside out, fill it from the nearest stream or lake, let the sediment settle to the bottom, then filter from the top when you need some water.

They also double as a rain hat if you're buddy forgot his hooded jacket!

4 5

10L sink

This little sink is great, but the best part is how it collapses to such a small item. Definitely helps during clean up, just let the pots soak for a bit. It helps. Sometimes getting it to stand up is a bit tricky.

Time-Tested Gear: Tents

A-frames, domes, party tents–we've tested them all.

Expert Wisdom
1. Stop condensation. Create a low vent to let cool air in (the bottom of a door) and a high one (a ceiling vent or the top edge of an opposing door) to let warm air out.
2. Learn the tautline hitch. It’s the best knot for guying  a tent as tight as a drum.
3. Store it right. It’s fine to pack a wet tent on the trail, but dry it thoroughly before storing to prevent mold and mildew buildup.

Sir Christopher Lee - 2011 BAFTA Fellowship

13 February 2011

At the 2011 Film Awards BAFTA paid tribute to esteemed actor Sir Christopher Lee, honouring him with the Academy Fellowship .

Watch Sir Christopher Lee's Fellowship acceptance speech along with an exclusive BAFTA interview with Edith Bowman, backstage at the Royal Opera House.

On Sunday 13 February the British Academy of Film and Television Arts presented Sir Christopher Lee with the Academy Fellowship at the Orange British Academy Film Awards ceremony at London’s Royal Opera House.

Academy Fellowship: Sir Christopher LeeBAFTA/Richard KendalAwarded annually by the Academy, the Fellowship is the highest accolade bestowed upon an individual in recognition of an outstanding and exceptional contribution to film. Previously honoured Fellows include Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Sean Connery, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Christie, John Barry, Stanley Kubrick, Anthony Hopkins, Terry Gilliam and Judi Dench. Last year’s recipient was Vanessa Redgrave.

Tim Corrie, Chair of the Academy said: “I am absolutely delighted that the Academy is recognising Sir Christopher Lee. He has entertained me over many years and is a bastion of British filmmaking around the globe”.

Knighted in 2009 for his services to drama and charity, Sir Christopher Lee has appeared in nearly 200 films. He first became a star in the mid-50s playing Frankenstein’s creature, then the title role of Dracula in a pair of high-class Hammer Horrors. In a career spanning over eight decades, he has starred as Mycroft Holmes in Billy Wilder’s The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, as Lord Summerisle in cult classic The Wicker Man, as Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun, and as Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan.

“It’s a very unexpected but very great honour to find myself in such distinguished company to receive the fellowship". Sir Christopher Lee

Sir Christopher won a new worldwide audience when he starred as Saruman in the BAFTA and Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings trilogy and appeared as Count Dooku in the Star Wars prequels. He has also worked extensively with Tim Burton, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and distinctive voice roles in Alice in Wonderland and Corpse Bride.

Future projects include the highly anticipated Martin Scorsese film Hugo Cabret which sees Sir Christopher appear alongside Jude Law, Chloe Moretz and Sacha Baron Cohen.

13-year-old Bakersfield girl found in San Diego area with convicted felon

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — A 13-year-old girl from Bakersfield ran away with a 21-year-old convicted felon she met through Facebook, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Thursday.

The girl was found Thursday at a Chula Vista apartment where she had been staying with Jonathan Nunez, who was arrested on suspicion of statutory rape and for being a felon in possession of a loaded firearm and ammunition, according to the newspaper's report.

The pair had reportedly been together since March 10. They met through the social media site in the wake of the death of the girl's brother, who knew Nunez, U-T San Diego reported.

Bakersfield police haven't released any information on the case. U-T San Diego cites Chula Vista Police Lt. Scott Arsenault.

The newspaper reported that Nunez had been convicted of grand theft and was on probation.

IRVING, TEXAS — A post-bankruptcy Hostess in 2012 would be in a very different position from when it first sought creditor protection in 2004. The company is no longer the largest baking company in the United States or even second largest. Greg Rayburn, chief executive officer, said the degree to which the business has held up while in bankruptcy bodes well for how the business will fare afterward.

“We’ve had sort of everything and the kitchen sink thrown at us during the course of this bankruptcy and our sales have held up very well,” he said. “We have a very strong sales platform of products with sales around $2.5 billion a year, and I think that needs to be viewed as a platform for further product differentiation and brand extension and that’s going to go hand in hand with different distribution channels and methods. So you’re going to see, I think Hostess has a pretty strong competitive path going forward on the basis of that and that platform I think is pretty sound at the demand level. We sell lots of Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and Wonder Bread and Drake cakes and Dolly Madison. Our customer base is also very supportive of our survival because they need more suppliers rather than fewer, particularly in a consolidating industry.”

Asked about declines in unit volume sales that have hit Hostess (and other bakers), Mr. Rayburn acknowledged the company has had issues in keeping current with new product trends. Ultimately, though, he defended the company’s overall sales performance.

“I think where Hostess has probably underperformed is I don’t think it’s done enough brand extension and new product development,” he said. “So you’ve got a great base of products, but I don’t think we’ve put enough emphasis on R.&D. spend. So part of this plan is to sort of double our R.&D. spend to get it focused at issues like that and I think that is all opportunity for us.

“I think the demand has been very good, and I’ve been very pleased with the way sales have held up. And I’ve done this for a lot of different companies and a lot of different industries and typically you would not expect revenues to be as stable as ours have been in the face of a lot of strike talk, bankruptcy talk, commodity price increases and everything else you could name. I think we’re seeing good customer demand, we see it at the retail level and we certainly see it at the end customer level.

“I think the opportunity for us is to create off of that platform and create new products that will be more top of mind because they’re new for that customer base to try.”

Asked to dip a bit deeper into trends in baking such as whole wheat and gluten-free dieting, Mr. Rayburn declined to offer much elaboration.

“We have (whole) wheat line extensions now that have been a big part of the plan that we’ve put together in terms of our business plan,” he said. “We probably were late trend-wise on that, but I think that is something in which we have very good products in that space now. I don’t want to get too far into gluten-free because I really don’t want to talk about our strategies in a lot of detail.”

Mr. Rayburn did offer observations on the impact of the summer’s drought and resultant surging flour prices.

“I think all the players in the business are going to some extent going to have to take pricing,” he said. “When you have corn that’s up to current levels and you have wheat where it is, whether or not you’re hedged, I think at some point you’ll see the industry react taking pricing.”

Finding a permanent chief executive officer is toward the top of the list for steps to be taken by the company during its first 100 days after bankruptcy, Mr. Rayburn said.

“We’ve actually started a process of defining a profile and looking at search firms to go down the path of looking for a permanent c.e.o.,” Mr. Rayburn said. “Everything sort of has to start at the top. So I’ve told the company and the unions that I’ll stay in whatever capacity they would like for as long as it takes to make sure that the train doesn’t go off the tracks. I think we have a profile for candidates, and we’re going to push through that process. I think we want to get that person on board so that they can also be part of defining that first 100 days.”

Regarding his own involvement, Mr. Rayburn emphasized a commitment to stay as long as needed to help the company exit bankruptcy but also suggested the period he will remain with the company will not be very long.

“I don’t ever have an end date on the engagements that I do, and I’ve stayed at companies for half years before,” he said. “I have agreed to stay in whatever capacity and whatever both parties and interests prefer, because it’s in my best interests to make sure that Hostess is successful for the long haul.”

Apple a day promotes healthy eating at West Towson

West Towson Elementary School recently extended the celebration of Homegrown School Lunch Week in Baltimore County by providing local apples, along with some apple recipes, to students and teachers.

Statewide, the focus on eating local produce was held Sept. 17-21 and called on school systems to feature local produce in their school lunch menus.

At West Towson on Sept. 28, the school's Wellness Committee had apples available from Colora Orchard in Cecil County.

The ride of your life

Last December, when the snow was starting to fly and most people were pulling out their skis, Nick Mackovski was visiting motorcycle dealers shopping for his dream bike.

While the winter is a bad time to go riding, it is a great time to shop for bikes because dealers are trying to make space for new stock at a time when sales are slow.

Mackovski, a 32-year-old computer consultant in Markham, Ont., settled on a Harley Davidson V-Rod, a stylish cruiser with a Porsche-designed engine and the first new model Harley Davidson has produced in 50 years.

Mackovski was attracted by the V-Rod's sleek styling. "I liked the way the frame flowed. It looked different. It was very attractive to me," he says.

After adding some chrome accessories and tinkering with the bike's look -- by adding braided steel fluid lines instead of rubber ones, for example -- Mackovski plunked down $36,000 for the ride of his life, and the first bike he's had since he was 17.

While most people buy cars for practical purposes, such as toting their family around, people buy a motorbike for the sheer joy of riding, in the same way some people buy sports cars. Because it can be a major financial consideration, it's important to look through the range of styles and prices available to find the one that suits you best.

Bikes for all interests and price ranges
Motorcycling has grown to a $1 billion industry in Canada, according to the Motorcycle & Moped Industry Council (MMIC), a not-for-profit trade association that promotes biking.

This past year, Canadians bought 72,049 new motorbikes, spending a total of $931,230, almost double what was spent in 1999. Currently, there are more than 360,000 motorbikes registered for on-road use in Canada.

When it comes to bikes, consumers face a wide selection of manufacturers and styles. There are three main categories of bikes and most manufacturers make models in each category.

Touring bikes
These are the motor homes of bikes, designed for long distance traveling. They have big engines -- usually 1,200 cc or better -- and lots of bells and whistles such as radios, saddlebags, cruise control, wrap-around windjammers and even anti-lock braking systems.

They are also one of the more expensive classes of motorcycles -- they start at $20,000 and can surpass $35,000, depending on the options you add. But if you want comfort, you'll find it here. Examples of touring bikes include the Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide, the Honda Gold Wing and the BMW K1200LT.

Cruisers are the bad boys of bikes, but they've come a long way since Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper made them popular in Easy Rider. They come in a broad range of engine sizes and can accommodate long- or short-haul trips. The price range also varies broadly, from $10,000 to $30,000.
