Jamie Neale,19, of England, emerged from the Australian bush yesterday after spending twelve days wandering around Blue Mountains National Park. He got Ulysse Nardin replica watches lost on July 3 during a day hike through the park. Four hundred search and rescue workers scoured 100 square kilometers of wilderness over eleven days and could not find him. They called off the search. The next day, Neale walked out of the woods.

In one trip to a bike store in 1989, I bought my first real road bike (a Raleigh), first PowerBar (Malt Nut, the only flavor they had), and first bike helmet (a Giro Prolight). The Raleigh is long gone, Ive moved onto peanut butter PowerBars, and the Prolight—a big half-pumpkin of styrofoam with a Lycra-and-mesh cover (see image at right)—got Audemars Piguet replica watches lost somewhere in college. Giro, however, has resurrected the name at this years Tour de France for what it is calling the lightest production helmet in the world. At a reported 175 grams, or just a hair over six ounces, the new Prolight (right) comes in at less than 23 the weight of the Ionos, Giros current top offering.
The company claims that much of the weight savings is due to a new fit system which appears to do away with the plastic bands that typically secure Mont Blanc replica watches helmets under the back of the head, in favor of an adjustable strip of webbing. From photos, the 25 vents in the Prolight appear smaller than those on the Ionos—possibly a structural necessity given the helmets low profile. But Giro claims that a network of internal channels keeps the air flowing over the scalp.
