Keeping SunScreen On!

Finding a product that stays on and keeps you protected is hard, now SCAPE comes to the rescue.
SCIENCE BEHIND SCAPE
In the words of Dr. Martens…
1. Formula is 5x More Waterproof, Sweatproof and Doesn’t Clog Pores “Traditionally, sunscreens use oil to achieve waterproofing.
We developed a polymer matrix that bonds to your skin to make it waterproof. This creates an ultra thin Gore-tex-like layer on the skin and to hold the suncreeen in place even if you sweat for a long time or are in the in water. Most importantly, it doesn’t block pores so you can still sweat.”
2. Top-of-the-Line UVA Protection
“SCAPE provides the highest level of UVA protection possible. Plus, the formula includes antioxidants that remove free radicals from skin for cellular protection.”
3. Stringent Unbiased Testing
“When sunscreen companies do waterproof testing, it’s usually 20 people in a pool for 80 minutes—no movement and no towel-off when they get out. Then SPF test is done. This has nothing to do with an athlete’s reality. So we designed a much more stringent test. We exposed our product to stricter conditions both on athletes and in the lab. Plus, we had an independent lab doing the testing as well—not just us.”
4. Athlete-Tested Outside the Lab
“Additionally, it was important that we tested our product in real life, so we teamed with volleyball players, surfers, endurance athletes, etc, for testing. That was a crucial part missing in product development with other companies. You can only test products so much in a lab—eventually you have to put it in a real-world application, and we did that.”

Blauer Tactical Systems (BTS) is one of the world's leading consulting companies specializing in the research and development of close quarter tactics & scenario-based training for law enforcement, military and professional self-defense instructors.

During the 1980's, BTS pioneered reality-based self-defense with their ground-breaking 'Panic Attack' drill, the design of the world's first functional scenario-based training suit and the first self-defense program based on psychology, physiology and kinesiology.

The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ (Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response) is a scientifically researched & medically reviewed personal defense measure that exploits the body’s natural responses to violence and danger. This survival mechanism, dubbed:Startle-Flinch Response has been scientifically integrated into a series of neuro-muscular drills that teaches individuals how to convert their instinctive reactions into protective and combative tactics.

HIGH GEAR™ is considered to be the world's most dynamic role-player gear because it allows trainers to engage in realistic and integrated scenarios in practically any environment. BTS has developed an analytic & systematic approach to scenario training by reverse-engineering real world confrontations. This program is called Ballistic Micro-fights™.

BTS is now a world-leader in the design of force-on-force training equipment, as well as program management for police defensive tactics, military combative training, close quarter combatives, andpersonal defense training. HIGH GEAR™, Ballistic Micro-fights™ and the S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ are now used by many of the world's leading DT, Combatives and self-defense instructors to augment their personal defense skills.

Our focus, our mission and our path have not wavered since we began teaching real-world self-defense in 1979... we have been on the cutting-edge of reality-based training for the self-defense world ever since.

Alex Honnold shoots up Half Dome

Madman rock climber Alex Honnold shot up The Nose and Half Dome in a combined 8 hours over the course of the day. He set at least one speed record on Half Dome, breaking his old record by 41 minutes, and he likely broke a combined route record by adding The Nose.

WikiBoulder

Welcome to WikiBoulder. This site serves as a communal guidebook site for rock climbers around the world. WikiBoulder allows you to create or edit guidebooks with its unpantented super cool guidebook creator. You are also free to view the guidebooks others have created or edited.

During a trip to Font in March of 2010 a discussion began around the dinner table regarding quality ratings for boulder problems. I'm sure this discussion has been repeated ad nauseam by many serious boulderers. In fact, ours was repeated ad nauseam around the dinner table every night for way too long. One night you'd be sick of it, and the next you'd find yourself arguing the nuances of what 'obvious start' meant. Eventually we did come up with a purely objective system, but once we began naming some decent, but hardly 5 star problems that fit all the criteria, we knew it wasn't going to work. Well, I knew it wasn't going to work; others had hope. I figured the best system would be based on mass consensus, and being a web developer, began formulating a possible website to capture all the data.

At this point the concept began to fork. On one side sat the quality rating system, but with this became a need to define all the problems to rate. A guidebook site seemed the most logical answer. Like the rating system, I knew it had to be open to mass input; I wasn't going to enter in all that info. Luckily I had a background of dealing with visual data creation on the web and an idea of what developing a topo creator would entail.

ABOUT

"While I was churning through the guidebook piece of it, my Font companions began realizing how far you could take the quality rating system. Once a user had rated enough problems, a picture of the style of boulder problem that appealed to them would develop. Using this info the site could begin recommending problems and areas that would appeal to the user.

Back from my trip, I immediately began to throw myself into the project. At the time I still had a job, but as that slowly began to fall apart, I found myself putting more and more time into WikiBoulder. Now I'm working on WikiBoulder full time and want to have it in a stable state by the end of July.

I hope everyone finds this thing useful and any recommendations or comments are much appreciated.

Oil Spill Live!

In todays age with all that we have it oil has leaked in the Gulf since May 2, 2010. How is this not the top priority of the U.S.A., let alone the world. We can pull wine bottles of the deck of the Titanic but we can't cap gushing oil. I guess they should send in James Cameron, he can then save the day and make millions of the movie right, come on, someone fix this mess before all ocean life is ruined.
