Where was 'When'?
One of my favourite features in the Sun's Saturday Weekend magazine was missing this week. The When page shows a front page from the files of the Sun usually from the '70s or '80s and I find it very interesting to get a peek into what was happening back in my youth, about the time I was graduating BU and deciding to live in Brandon and raise a family. It brings back a lot of memories. I certainly hope that page hasn't been cancelled. (Ed. note: The Weekend magazine has become an increasingly popular vehicle for advertisers, so we are faced with the pleasant problem of finding space for them all. That will be solved as the Weekend magazine increases to 24 pages starting this Saturday. Thanks for reading and enjoy the larger product.)

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Times-Call's series Take Two revisits people we have written about in the past year. Take Two stories will run on Mondays.
LONGMONT -- The pedestal in Mountain View Cemetery where a statue of a Civil War soldier once stood to honor those who served in the War Between the States remains empty.
The pieces of the statue are in storage or in evidence at the Longmont Police Department, where they have been since an August vandalism spree left the statue -- donated to the cemetery in 1907 -- broken.
The cemetery was vandalized four times over the summer, with more and more headstones tipped each time, culminating on Aug. 10 with 106 headstones tipped over and the memorial pulled from its perch on a tall pedestal and broken. Cemetery workers propped the headstones back up.
Seven suspects, ages 14 to 21, went to police and admitted to a series of vandalisms at the cemetery following publicity in the case. They were referred to the city's restorative justice program.
One last suspect, 19-year-old John Heston, fled the state, police reported. Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur said investigators believe he is in San Diego.
There is a warrant for Heston, but it is non-extraditable, so he would have to return to Colorado to face arrest.
Mountain View Cemetery board secretary Anton Dworak said the board's goal is to have the statue replaced with an exact replica by Memorial Day. It has served as a centerpiece for Memorial Day celebrations in Longmont for years and, he said, the board wants the tradition to carry on uninterrupted.
"You can imagine the effort to create such a statue in 1907," he said. "It certainly makes you feel a sense of loss for something that was there for over 100 years."
The board is working with a Vermont company to replicate the statue, but it will likely cost around $40,000. The company said that repairing the statue would be difficult and the work would be visible, Dworak said.
Additionally, a repair would likely be unstable because of the locations of the breaks, including one right above the feet. The board would like to ship the entire statue to Vermont once it can retrieve the head from police.
The board still has the statue's body, but the head remains in Longmont police evidence because the vandals initially stole it and it was taken by police for DNA swabbing after it was found abandoned outside the fire station south of the cemetery.
Dworak said the cemetery board is working to determine what -- if any -- of the expense insurance will cover.
A fund has been established through the Longmont Community Foundation for the cemetery. Donations to the fund can be used to replace the statue, but Dworak said it isn't clear how much the board will need to raise until insurance issues are settled.

Lost: What to do when you realize you are off route - Page 3
If you get cold, perform light exercise, e.g. pushups and jumping jacks, every so often to elevate your body temperature.
The Morning After
Day breaks, you rise from your sleepless, endless night but your nightmare hasn't ended. If you feel you cannot find your way out in the daylight, stay put, and help SAR find you. The more you move, the more they have to play cat and mouse.
Do not play by Leave No Trace standards. Leave your shelter standing. Then provide more clues for the SAR teams. Draw or make arrows to direct searchers to your position. If there is an opening in tree cover, like a meadow or alpine zone, stay there. Make a big "X" in the opening by placing sticks, rocks or anything of a contrasting color to the ground so a search helicopter or plane can see it.
If you can start a fire, make a "smudge" (a smoky fire with not many flames) to draw searchers' attention. Alert rescuers by making noise, whistling or yelling. Three long blasts on a whistle are the universal help signal. Don't make coyote yips, raven caws or wolf howls. Those definitely won't help! If searchers make verbal contact, tell them you need help and talk them into your location.
Getting lost can be a harrowing experience but staying calm and acting rationally will keep you alive.
Next Time
What you should have brought and how it could have saved you. You don't need all of the items listed below but a good combination and working knowledge is key.
■ GPS. Know how to use it before you set out. At the trailhead, waypoint your position. You can also leave "bread crumbs" on your GPS so you can backtrack if you get lost. An added bonus, it will tell you the exact mileage, fastest speed and average speed of your run.
■ Headlamp (with fresh batteries). Can mean the difference between making it out that first night or not.
■ Cell phone. Cell-phone coverage is becoming more widespread, but don't depend on it. With reception, you can call SAR, and notify your significant other or relative.
■ Matches/lighter/firestarter. The classic "I wish I had …" A small fire can save your life.
■ Pencil and paper. Telling someone your intended route and/or leaving a note in your car at the trailhead is a no brainer. If you have writing implements in your pack, you can leave notes/clues for
SAR teams.
■ PLB. If you carry a personal locator beacon, like SPOT, you can send out a distress signal, an OK message or tether it to your smartphone to send out a text message. If necessary, SAR can read that platform to pinpoint your location.
■ Map and compass. Know how to use this old standby system, and you can usually find yourself if temporarily misoriented.

peter's my hero. my health is falling apart. compulsive overeater. love white sugar in coffee. i'm a daily walker, but my sugar is still high and insulin is the next step. what the hell happened?
Started walking in retirement to deal with insulin resistance, overweight 5"10" 245lbs, poor endurance, waning libido and motivation. Walked 5 to 7 days, increasing time and distance for a year, gradually walking twice a day and then began to jog and walk, then run and walk. Changed diet completely to cut out saturated fats, reduce total alcohol, improve to red wine, increase fresh foods, fish/shellfish 1st, then poultry/eggs 2nd, then pork 3rd then beef 4th at ratios of 40,30,20 and 10% but obtained 2/3rds of protein from vegetable sources. Eat like a hunter/gatherer rarely sit down to eat a meal. No sweets except sugar in green tea drunk daily. Coffee black. Did not diet but changed the diet entirely. More nutritious and costs less with less calories. Lost 75 lbs without dieting and without any hunger. Down to 170 lbs and falling. Trim, lean, tanned. Libido back. :) Endurance, strength. Feel like and love like I was 35. Bought a triathlon bike this summer. Now able to run 10-12 miles nonstop. Able to bike for 2 hours at 13-15mph pace. Pulse 38, BP 100/60 Cholesterol 118 Triglycerides 35. Every test in the middle of its range except the above all below normal. I've been whistled at by women 20 years younger and told I was "hot" by a coed. I'm 64. I've found my groove and life expectancy over 100 estimated everywhere. I have 7 grandchildren and want to become a great-great grandfather.
I am overweight and few months ago I started jogging and dieting, and now my resting heart rate is 50! And I lost 8 kg so far,now I'm not gonna stop until I get all fit and toned!!
I am age 64 and was a competive powerlifter for many years. Now I have health issues due to all the heavy lifting. In May I started a cardio program and now do three twenty minute sessions every day, seven days a week. I just had my annual physical and have LDL of 47 and HDL of 50 and trigliserides of 107. These numbers are much lower than last year. I set a goal and reached it!
Your blog comes at a very good time for me. I just went back to Weight Watchers. I have a long road ahead of me but plan to take it in very short laps in order to succeed.
Thanks you.

On Monday, the U.S. Forest Service announced it would do a prescribed burn for parts of the Croatan National Forest.
Crews said the burn would cover nearly 422 acres three miles east of Cape Carteret, just off of Highway 24 and Bogue Road.
Officials said no roads or trails would be closed for the Monday burn, but advised those visiting the forest to be aware of smoke.
The U.S. Forest Service said prescribed burns ultimately reduces the amount of fuel on the forest floor in addition to helping restore the longleaf pine ecosystem.

Well, if you want every one of your photos to be shot with a 35mm focal length and you don't mind paying nearly $3,000 for it, knock yourself out. Otherwise, this is the dumbest idea I've ever heard of, full-frame sensor or not.
Sony reveals DSC-RX1 full-frame camera with fixed Zeiss T* 35mm F2 lens
Photokina 2012: Sony has officially announced the Cyber-shot DSC-RX1, a full-frame compact camera with a fixed 35mm F2 lens. The camera features a 36x24mm CMOS sensor and a leaf shutter for near-silent operation. It includes a manual aperture ring and dedicated exposure compensation dial for direct manual control. It can also capture video at frame rates of up to 1080p60 and includes a series of video-friendly features. As rumored, the camera will retail for around $2,800.

Sony Introduces the World's First Full-Frame Compact Digital Camera
New Compact Cyber-shot® RX1 Camera features 35mm full-frame image sensor and wide aperture f/2 lens
SAN DIEGO, Sept 12, 2012 – For the first time, all the benefits of full-frame digital photography are available in a palm-sized compact camera.
The extraordinary new Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-RX1 digital camera packs an advanced 35mm full-frame 24.3 MP Exmor® CMOS sensor and exceptionally Carl Zeiss T*t 35mm f/2.0 fixed lens into a highly portable, lightweight camera body. Measuring approximately 4.5 inches wide by 3 inches tall and weighing just over a pound, it's significantly smaller and lighter than any full-frame DSLR yet sacrifices nothing in terms of image quality, HD video quality or manual control.
"The new Cyber-shot RX1 is truly 'one of a kind', offering a unique combination of size and performance that's never before been realized in the world of digital cameras," said Yosuke Tomoda, director of the Cyber-shot camera business at Sony Electronics. "With its highly advanced sensor and fast 35mm f/2.0 lens packed into a small, portable camera body, professionals, enthusiasts and advanced hobbyists can experience the world of full-frame imaging in new and different ways than they ever thought possible."
The new camera's unified lens and body design allows performance that few interchangeable lenses can match. The Carl Zeiss lens not only delivers spectacular image quality all the way to the edges of each frame, it incorporates a near-silent in-lens shutter and is far more compact than comparable lenses of interchangeable design. The camera also features full manual control options and an intuitive user interface, making it easy for photographers to adjust all settings quickly and easily.
The 35mm full-frame sensor inside the RX1 camera more than doubles the area of APS-C sensors commonly found in much bulkier DSLR cameras, allowing it to take in significantly more light while capturing content. With an effective resolution of 24.3 megapixels, it's capable of resolving the finest image details and most subtle textures for rich color reproduction and an impressively broad dynamic range.
The large sensor size also boosts the camera's sensitivity range to a generous ISO 100 – 25600, with the option to shoot as low as ISO 50 in expanded sensitivity mode. Similarly, ISO settings as high as 102400 can be achieved using Multi Frame Noise Reduction. This allows the camera to capture natural, low noise handheld images in near-dark conditions without needing flash.
The fast, bright Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm lens is a versatile choice for portraits, street photography and everyday shooting. This premium lens features newly designed optics including an Advanced Aspherical (AA) glass element, which contributes to the camera's extremely compact dimensions without sacrificing optical performance.
The lens' wide F2 maximum, 9-bladed circular aperture enable beautiful background defocus ('bokeh') effects to rival or exceed professional-class DSLR camera lenses. Additionally, it features a macro switching ring on the lens barrel which instantly shortens the minimum focusing distance to approximately 20cm (from image plane), allowing the camera to capture small, close-up subjects with exquisite detail.
The Cyber-shot RX1 camera also features an enhanced BIONZ® processing engine that rapidly handles data from the Exmor® CMOS sensor and also powers full-resolution burst shooting at up to five frames per second. The powerful processor can output image data in 14-bit RAW format, giving advanced users total freedom to express their creative vision throughout the shooting and post-production processes.
Despite the camera's extraordinarily compact dimensions, the new Cyber-shot RX1 model offers a full range of manual control modes on par with typical high-end full-frame DSLR cameras. Dedicated lens rings allow for fingertip control of focus and aperture, while a DSLR-style Focus mode dial on the front of the camera enables easy switching between focus modes. Top-mounted exposure compensation and mode dials are strategically placed for simple access and operation, while custom function and AEL buttons on the back panel are also easily accessible.
The new camera features a Quick Navi mode that allows fast, intuitive adjustment of camera settings. This is especially useful when using the camera with an optional viewfinder (sold separately). A memory recall (MR) mode is accessible via the mode dial so photographers can store and instantly recall up to three sets of camera settings.
Other refinements include a MF Assist function that magnifies a portion of the image while framing to simplify fine focus adjustments, as well as a Peaking function that highlights sharply-focused areas of the image on screen.
Additionally, the RX1 camera features By Pixel Super Resolution digital zoom technology, which allows for magnification of image size without sacrificing pixel count. This results in far higher quality results than are achievable with conventional digital zoom.
A Smart Teleconverter function crops a central portion of the image sensor, boosting effective magnification by 1.4x or 2x realizing an effective 49mm or 70mm focal length. With the extremely high pixel count of the full-frame image sensor, even zoomed and cropped images maintain generous amounts of fine detail when blown up for large print sizes.
In addition to beautiful still images, the Cyber-shot RX1 compact camera can capture high-quality, low-noise Full HD movie footage in all lighting conditions at a choice of 60p or 24p (progressive) frame rates. There's a full complement of P/A/S/M exposure modes during video shooting for creative flexibility.
The new camera also features 13 different Creative Styles for fine-tuning images, plus a wide range of Picture Effect treatments. Further, it has Auto HDR and D-Range Optimizer, bracket shooting (Exposure, DRO or White Balance) and Auto HDR shooting modes, and there's a Digital Level Gauge that indicates camera pitch and camera roll on the LCD screen for straight, even landscape and architectural shots.
New Accessories for Cyber-shot RX1
Shooting possibilities for stills and video are broadened by the camera's Multi Interface Shoe that accepts a growing range of accessories. Options include a high-quality OLED XGA OLED Tru-Finder™ EVF (model FDA-EV1MK) which allows for even greater manual focusing precision as well as an external optical viewfinder featuring Carl Zeiss optics (model FDA-V1K).
Also available are a thumb grip (model TGA-1) for sure, comfortable handling as well as a lens hood (model LHP-1) and jacket case (model LCJ-RXB).
Sony PlayMemories Services
The Cyber-shot RX1 comes preinstalled with PlayMemories Home™ (Lite Edition) software, allowing easy image transfers to a PC for managing, editing and printing. Available for free download, a full version of PlayMemories Home software adds movie editing and disc burning.
Also available for download, PlayMemories Studio™ allows game-like editing of photos and videos on PlayStation®3 systems. Images can be shared easily via PlayMemories Online™ service, the cloud-based sharing service from Sony that simplifies 'any time, any place' viewing on a wide range of connected devices.
Pricing and Availability
The Cyber-shot RX1 compact, fixed lens camera will be available this November for about $2800.
The FDA-EV1K electric viewfinder and FDA-V1K optical viewfinder will each be available at launch for about $450 and $600, respectively.
The thumb grip, lens hood and jacket case will also be available at launch for about $250, $180 and $250, respectively.
The new camera and all compatible accessories will be sold at Sony retail stores (www.store.sony.com) and other authorized dealers nationwide.

Developer Trays by John Cyr
This Developer Tray Photographic Series by Brooklyn based photographer John Cyr is simple, powerful and resonates profoundly with me. Each image takes me into the artists process. Every mark on the tray, the color of the chemical effects, and the size and shape of the vessel tells a story of the power of the unique creative process for each unique individual. I can visualize the important work that has passed through each tray, both mechanized by the camera, and a work of handcraft by the artists vision. What an opportunity as a viewer to get inside some of the most accomplished photographers darkrooms.
John Cyr is a Brooklyn based photographer, printer and educator. He received his MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He is an adjunct faculty member at the International Center of Photography. In addition to working on his own photographic projects and teaching, he owns and operates Silver 68, a traditional silver gelatin printing studio in Dumbo, Brooklyn's Photo District. I have highlighted only a few images from the Developer Tray series. Prints from this stunning set can be purchased in various sizes by contacting John Cyr at www.johncyrphotograpy.com. A wonderful gift for your favorite photography enthusiast.

The Morphology of Steve
Project Steve -- NCSE's exercise in poking fun at the lists of "scientists who doubt evolution" promulgated by antievolutionist groups -- is not a mere publicity stunt any longer. With the publication of "The Morphology of Steve" in the prestigious journal Annals of Improbable Research, it is now a genuine contribution to scientific knowledge. Revealed for the first time in this paper is the existence of such phenomena as:
Discouraging news from Kansas
With the results of the August 3, 2004, primary election, the balance of power on the Kansas Board of Education is likely to tilt in favor of anti-evolutionists, for the first time since 1999, when the board voted to de-emphasize evolution in the state's science standards. The board is presently split 5-5 between supporters and opponents of evolution education.
Francis Crick Dies
Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, died on July 28, 2004, in San Diego, at the age of 88.
Why Intelligent Design Fails
"This book is a readable and devastating scientific analysis of intelligent design creationism. ... unlike ID's proponents, these authors have done the real science that deflates the claims of intelligent design. Their work deserves the respect of everyone with a say in what is taught in public school science classes."
ASB adds its Voice for Evolution
NCSE is pleased to announce a further addition to Voices for Evolution: a statement from the Association of Southeastern Biologists, reading in part: "[S]ince neither creationism nor intelligent design is a scientific endeavor, we oppose any attempts to insert them into the science curricula of any public schools. While religion has played and continues to play a significant role in many people's lives, and in schools' curricula, we object to any attempts to insert religious dogma, such as creationism or intelligent design, into science classes.

May 6, 2016
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- Icy weather in western North Carolina snapped tree limbs and cut the electricity to two colleges.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that electric utilities reported approximately 10,000 people were without power early Tuesday afternoon.
Power was reported out at Warren Wilson College during the morning along with areas near the college east of Asheville. A power outage also forced Montreat College to delay the start of classes.
Many local school systems operated on delayed starts as a result of the weather.
Portions of southeastern North Carolina had been on the alert for isolated thunderstorms, but National Weather Service meteorologist Jonathan Blaes said the threat diminished late in the day.
Steady rain fell on much of the rest of the state. Wilmington set a record for the date with 1.62 inches.

Are You Going to San Fierro?
Revision as of 20:15, July 31, 2013 by Rudzaki-kun (Talk | contribs)

- "We gotta torch those fields. I only hope Gaia can forgive us!"
- ―The Truth
Are You Going to San Fierro? is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by aging hippie The Truth from his farm in the Leafy Hollow area of Flint County, San Andreas
MissionAfter the completion of Farewell, My Love..., Catalina gives Carl a deed to the old Xoomer garage in Doherty, San Fierro. The Truth calls, stating that the weed is finally ready, and asks Carl to come see him. Carl meets the Truth at his farm, and prepares to leave in the Truth's Mothership when the two hear a police helicopter outside. The Truth panics, realizing that Tenpenny set them up and that they must destroy the weed; he takes two flamethrowers, gives one to Carl, and the two torch the farm, with Carl doing most of the work. When they finish, the Truth gives Carl a rocket launcher, which he uses to destroy the helicopter, since they cannot escape it. Carl and the Truth get into the Mothership and drive to the garage in Doherty, San Fierro. After getting there, they realize it is in need of repair, much to Carl's annoyance.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go and help The Truth destroy the weed
- Go and speak to the Truth
- Take out the chopper
- Get inside the mothership
- Drive the mothership to the garage in San Fierro
The reward for this mission is increased respect. The mission Wear Flowers in Your Hair is unlocked, and so is the ability to purchase safehouses in San Fierro.
Tips and tricks
- Explosives, including grenades, satchel charges, and molotov cocktails can also destroy the weed. Setting satchel charges around the weed and detonating them is an easy alternative to using the flamethrower for completing the mission.
- It is recommended to complete the Firefighter side-mission before this mission, as the burning weed poses a slight hazard if Carl is not fireproof.
- The mission's name (and the mission unlocked by it) are references to the Scott McKenzie song San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair).
- This mission tends to crash after the beginning cutscene on the PC version of the game. It usually only happens if the game is running on the operating system Windows Vista, for an unknown reason. This is possibly because the Windows Vista OS was released a few years after GTA SA was released on PC.
- While burning the weed, the player may notice the screen tilting slightly to both sides, and Carl complains that he feels like he's going to black out. Later, while driving to the garage, Carl's driving is slightly impaired, while he describes seeing patterns everywhere; these are both aftereffects of the burning weed. However, if driving slowly or bumping into many cars, a "buzz kill" occurs, stopping the effects of the Mary.
- Carl pays The Truth for the weed, however player's cash won't lessen.

AKRON -- The Akron RubberDucks, formerly known as the Akron Aeros -- the Cleveland Indians Double-A affiliate -- unveiled their new identity Tuesday atthe historic Akron Civic Theatre.
A tenacious, tire-treaded RubberDuck makes up the centerpiece of the identity, surrounded by burn-out flames. The primary logo features the RubberDuck with the team moniker "RubberDucks" in a tread-style font.
The secondary logos arethe webbed-foot Akron "A" and various other tire-tread marks. Blue Flame, Racing Yellow, Fire Orange and Tire Black, which comprise the club's new official colors, paying tribute to Akron's rubber heritage while celebrating the family-fun entertainment of Minor League Baseball.
The Akron RubberDucks are the first professional baseball team to use this color combination.
Despite the new identity, the franchise will be building upon the successful first-year foundation laid by new owner Ken Babby and general manager Jim Pfander.
In 2013, the franchise recorded its highest single-season growth in attendance since moving to Akron in 1997. The club welcomed more than 295,000 fans to Canal Park in 2013, almost a 12 percent increase from 2012. Brandiose, a nationally-renowned marketing firm that has worked with more than 60 minor and major league teams, helped bring the RubberDucks to life.
After meeting with fans, staff, and community members to better learn their perspective and better understand the history of Akron, Brandiose partnered with the team's front office leadership to develop the logos, uniforms and forthcoming mascot.
The Akron RubberDucks will unveil their new uniforms for the 2014 season at a later date.
"During this rebranding process, we listened to our fans," said Akron RubberDucks owner Ken Babby." It was evident that our fans wanted to honor the history of Akron and the rubber industry while creating a new identity that was fun, exciting, and family-friendly, just like our baseball team. We are proud to move forward as the Akron RubberDucks and look forward to creating many amazing memories for our great fans."
"It was important to us that the new name was tied to Akron's heritage. The rubber industry has deep roots in this city, and with the new Goodyear headquarters and the Bridgestone/Firestone Technology Center, it has a promising future," said Akron RubberDucks general manager Jim Pfander.
"We want the Akron RubberDucks to reflect the city's proud history, but also a new generation of fans with a new era of fun at Canal Park."

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 20 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by wizkid suitable only for totallly liquid products I changed to a super thick conditioner, can't squeeze it out of the tube. Much wasted product that went in but won't flow/squeeze out. How about making something like a compliant "jar" that makes thicker products like conditioner, creams/ lotions accessible? December 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by goodstuffhunter Might be just the thing! My son travels extensively and is allergic to most bath soaps. He needed a non-leaking container in which to carry his own body wash. I ended up getting one GoToob for each family member to try out. My only complaint is that if your eyes have reached "a certain age" it is impossible to read the labels on the cleverly designed label ring. Because the letters are raised white on a white background, I had to carefully highlight mine with a permanent marker. If you are twelve you should have no trouble reading those labels. Otherwise, you might need to wear your glasses in the shower! If that small design flaw had not been overlooked I would have rated this product 5 stars. February 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TimeTravelista No Drip, No Slip My girlfriend balked at the price... until she tested the product. Perfect size for traveling and they are really easy, no drip squeeze bottles that refill easy and just are as easy to clean and fill with something else. Very good gift for someone who has sensitive skin or just plain picky because they will always be able to stay on the go without leaving behind their favorite liquid/gel products, which due to travel regulations, happens quite a bit. Think of all the money you will save on the endless bottles of sunscreen you end up having to toss out at the airport at the end of every trip, having been unable to find a travel size. November 5, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by goodstuffhunter Well designed product.....except for one thing Several family members who travel a lot are "field testing" the GoToobs. I like mine very much except for one thing. My one complaint is that if your eyes have reached "a certain age" it is impossible to read the labels on the cleverly designed label ring. Because the white letters are on a white background, I had to carefully highlight mine with a permanent marker. If you are twelve, you should have no trouble reading those labels! Otherwise you might need to wear your glasses in the shower. If that small design flaw had not been present I would have rated this product 5 stars. February 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Surprised Surprised and Disappointed Yes, I was surprised and disappointed in this product. These Go Toob bottles looked like they were designed so well, that I purchased two sets. However, I was very disappointed to find that some of them had leaked when I reached my destination in Italy. Luckily I had some small plastic bags and rubber bands with me, so I wrapped each one tightly and the liquids did not get on my clothes. But they did leak and it was a mess to use the shampoo and conditioner and other products. What a disappointment!!! Can I get a refund? April 30, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by tattesu wished it worked I bought these because I was looking for something that wouldn't leak during flying. I put some shampoo and peroxide in a couple of them. I soon realized that if you only slightly squeezed the bottles, liquid just pours out the sides of the cap. So I can only imagine what would happen when it gets squished in the suitcase! This turned out to be worse than the bottles I had used before. I travel overseas a lot, and I really want something that won't leak on the flight. October 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TravelSmithGal Great solution I have had so many plastic bottles for travel and none have been convenient. First, one needs a funnel to fill most of them,; not this one, the large opening makes it simple. The softer material makes it easier to use more of what is inside. The only thing I find a little difficult is using the labels that are impressed on them - I really can't read them. That being said - I think they are the best products of their type on the market. April 13, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by ChestnutHill Not good for lotion These worked fine for shampoo, but they're not so good for lotion. I had about half a tube of lotion left after one trip and figured I would just leave it for several months until the next time---but the amount kept going down. It seems to have evaporated, as what was left got very thick. In any case, as someone else mentioned, it's hard to get lotion out of the tube if it's less than half full. Either it won't come out at all or little bits squirt all over the place. June 19, 2011

Cats already eat raw food if they are outdoor/indoor cats because all cats will hunt to some extent and eat some of what they catch.
I fed my cat (I started him when he was over 10 years old) raw chicken, beef hearts and livers. He took to it right away, and he lost weight, got healthier and had more energy. Just feed them what you want them to have, and they wont' starve..they will eat. In fact you might try going a day without food, then introduce the raw foods the next day..I bet they don't turn up their noses at it.
Re: how do i make my cats eat raw?

thanx for the info, i'll try giving them what i want... I HOPE THEY EAT IT... lol
thanx again!!!

Our kitty wouldn't touch raw at first, so we cut up a few tiny pieces of raw meat and blended it with canned food, then transitioned to 50/50 - one bowl of canned, one bowl of raw meat, side by side (it took a trial & error of various meats to see which one he would eat)... and now he's a full fledged raw kitty - I just hack off a chunk of raw chicken and he loves it. He definitely prefers the grosser, bony, sinewy, bloody whole chunks that he can drag across the kitchen floor and pull apart as opposed to neatly cut up pieces arranged in a bowl.
They say cats in the wild eat the organs first, so I buy whole chickens, which come stuffed with organ meats. Also raw bones are essential, I read (unlike cooked bones which are very dangerous).
Re: how do i make my cats eat raw?
Date: June 12, 2007 05:42PM
ty sunshine, my one cat (Sassy) always cetches things in the woods & eats them so she thinks it's perfectly natural & eats the raw stuff. But my other cat (Pepper) cetches stuff to but has never eaten it & is still LEARNING to like/eat raw. My 14 month old kitten (Holly) as taken to raw more easily. I'll try the organs & hope for the best.
Thanx again!

why would anyone try to feed a natural carnivore a vegan diet?
you know the arguement that humans are not meant to eat meat (or cooked food) based on our digestive systems and how we Can adapt to a omnivorous (or cooked) diet but it's not the best for us and leads to ill-health? well, that arguement is the SAME in reverse for cats and dogs. some of them may be able to live on a vegan diet, or even a partly plant based diet, but they will Never thrive on it. it's totally wrong for them. dogs and cats shouldn't even have vegetables mixed into their raw meat based foods, i know lots of people do this but you would Never find a dog out in the wild digging up carrots so why would anyone think that's an ok thing to feed their dog or cat? it just plain old isn't.

Actually, that's not true either.
Dogs are omnivorous and can survive on a plant based diet as long as their protein needs are met. It's not the most natural diet for them, but as long as they get their supplements, they're fine.
Cats, on the other hand, are 100% carnivore and have no way to process or digest carbs. They need a 100% protein diet and cannot survive on a plant based diet. (well, I guess they could if they were given all their enzymes and amino acids in additive form, but you would still be dealing with issues like diabetas, liver and kidney problems, weight issues, and the list goes on.)
A Vegan diet for a cat is not only ignorant and rediculous, it's just plain stupid.

no kidding. if you want a vegan pet go for a hamster. my new kitties are ok, right now i'm working really hard an trying to get one to only pee in the litter box and it's taking up a lot of time. between them and the kids i'm pretty darn busy right now! i'm in a teeny little town with no access to organic anything so i might try giving them bits of non-organic meat mixed with their regular food to at least get them used to it until i can find organic meat. ugh, i can't believe i'm buying any kind of meat at all but i guess that's what happens when you take on responsibility for rescue kitties. i'd go to any lengths for my kids, i suppose the same applies to my fur babies too!

Hi Flowerstar,
It has been my experience that the older the cat is, the slower you need to go, same thing for dogs. Kitten & puppies instinctively go for the rawfood when given the choice. A 1/2 teaspoon, well mixed in their regular food is plenty for the 1rst week. If they do not eat their food, reduce the amount, if they eat it, then increase 1/2 teaspoon at a time each week until they eat 100% raw.
For more info. I would like to invite you to visit the "links" page of my website as I list various resources on the subject.
May this be helpful to you : )

Hello,not sure if this has been mentioned before or not, but there are prepared raw food meals out there that you can purchase in the store or online like 'Aunt Jennies' & 'Natures Variety'. My cats like both brands, not sure they they like them as much as they liked fancy feast which they don't get anymore. Try the different variety meats, see which your cat or dog favors most. My cats switch back and fourth with what they will eat but we've gotten them to eat them all. By the way they did not take to the raw food right away. They never minded Natures variety chicken medallions here and there but when we started feeding them aunt jennies we had to mix it in or serve it side by side with their old food to get them to eat it. As for feeding your pet vegan which sounds perfect to me! since that's what we are practicing in the household, some say it is possible and believe that your animal will live longest on this type of diet. Dr. Ann Wigmore recommends this type of diet, and talks about it in her book 'Our Precious Pets'. She even fed her animals energy soup! Anyhow it's probably best to go step by step and our animals just got off canned so we'll start with raw meats and see if vegan is an option in the future. I personally like being able to purchase the food already prepared and it seems like it would take some work to prepare the vegan meals. Not to mention our cats are all over ten! so it may be too late for a vegetarien diet, but one never knows. Best of luck to you and your furry companions =)

"As for feeding your pet vegan which sounds perfect to me!"
no No NO! cats can NOT be vegan. NOT! please, this is animal abuse, it is cruel. as cruel as it would be to make a human being exist solely on animal flesh and nothing else. that isn't my "opinion", that is scientific fact.
cats bodies, their teeth, their digestive tract are all designed to eat flesh foods. cats instinctively hunt. they need the taurine in meat, it is essential to their bodies and without it they suffer horribly and die a painful death.
if the aim for humans in eating a vegan diet is in following the most natural path, why would we try to do the opposite for our pets?
cat's can't be vegan. Can Not, i can't stress that enough.
if you would like a vegan pet there are many out there. birds, gerbils, hamsters and the like. not dogs and definately NOT CATS!

I understand your point, and personally havent done enough research on the topic to really form an oppinion myself. I was just pointing out that Dr. Ann wigmoore fed her animals vegan. My cats are old and when hey do pass Im getting plants instead of pets, maybe fish.. While feeding them vegan sounds perfect to me because I rather not handle meat, it does not mean that I would feed them something that didn't benefit them but only myself.

sorry i got a little passionate there, i guess i feel strongly about it since the kitties themselves can't voice their opinions.
the research is there. i'm sure that anne only had the best in mind for her cats but they just don't have the same needs as us.

hi everyone,
i have done A LOT of research on this as i want my cats to be their healthiest. i am currently trying to switch them to a raw MEAT based diet and they are fighting a little. it is just taking a little extra time.
i just wanted to stress like the others who have posted that cats CANNOT be vegan or even vegetarian!!! Cat will die if they are fed this way. cats also should not have thier food taken away from them as was suggested. cats are not like dogs, they will not "eat when they are hungry enough". cats will stop eating and eventually they will die. When a cat gets to the point that they stop eating they must be force-fed to get their bodies working again. please do not do this to your cat.
a book that i read that i found wonderful in helping me understand the healthiest diets for cats and dogs is Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats. there are lots of recipes for food as well as treats in this book. he lists many natural cures using herbal remedies and Bach's flower essences, and swears by homeopathic cures. there is a whole section on common pet ailments and their natural treatment. he also talks about natural cleaners, flea control, etc that will not harm your pets. this book is a must read for any pet lover.
i have been so far unsuccessful trying to switch my cats to a raw food diet using pre-made diets. unfortunately i cannot list what ones i have tried since i have since forgotten the names (oops!) but they were bought frozen. even a quarter of a teaspoon put in their favourite food would make them turn up their noses. one cat is 10 1/2 and the other is 6 1/2 so they are not young, but they are not too old to switch. i have just found food that they love! it is called Urban King and it is a powder that you mix with ground meat. the cats love it but see it only as a treat so far. i am feeding them orijen (which is a kibble that is 75% meat protien and completely grain free) as well since they are not eating enough of the other food yet. orijen is made in alberta, canada and i am not sure if it is available in the states. the Urban King food is great because you don't have to buy and measure all of the suppliments that the cats need, that is already done for you. if you would like to buy a whole chicken (or rabbit, or other small animal) and grind it all, organs, bones and all that is a great diet. i do not have the heart to do that to an animal. that is why i prefer the urban king. i have been cooking the food for about 30 min in the oven before feeding it to them since then it resembles a little more the can food that they love. the directions suggest cooking the food at first and then gradually cook it less and less until it is completely raw. this is my plan.
oh, on a side note, i think that maybe my cats a having a little bit of detox since switching to the orijen from wellness kibble (which is all human-grade food - no tumours/animal hair - which pet food companies like to call protien!!- but it is not grain free) . they both seem to be shedding more and they both have dandruff. dr. pitcairn says that dandruff is the first sign that something is happening in your pets body. it is a warning that there in something that is not healthy. the further the dandruff is from their head it is the less serious it is. i believe this dandruff is detox as they are acting quite normal and maybe a little more energetic than before!
anyway! sorry for such a long post. i am VERY passionate about animals, especially my own! i have read a lot about this topic and i used to work at a humane society so there were plenty of vets to ask opinions of. i highly recommend the book and the food. i will attach a link to a website that i also found helpful:
good luck in switching your cat to a raw food diet. i only suggest that you do more research for yourself before changing your cats' diets as you are messing with something pretty serious when you change their food - their health!!!
take care,

I dont recall ever reading that Dr. A Wigmore owned cats.... she definately had a monkey, and that is much different. She was ahead of her time and behind ours in my opinion... with respect, we advanced past her, THANKS to her work.
Today I found that the neighbor cat had a litter in a shed next to my home. I went to the store and bought a salmon filet, which she ate up SO Quick! I also thought, maybe I should cut up some wheatgrass over it, then gave it a second thought..... its very obvious to me---- cats have fangs that will not grind greens

Sure. Just like saying...Humans can survive on a meat diet as long as their protein and nutrient needs are met. It's not the most natural diet for them but as long as they get supplements, they're fine.
Anyone want to go eat some BBQ ribs with a side of green superfoods and vitamins?

I just transitioned to the raw meat diet for my cats in the last few months and they LOVE it. What didn't work years ago when I tried were the diets in all the holistic pet books - like Pitcairns, the alltime guru that most holistic vets today trained with at some point... What I have been told by my homeopathic vet is that they are all - pitcairn, anitra frasier, etc. - revising their original recipes to NOT include grain. Once I did that they ate it with no transition. The current thinking is to add something like 7% veggies for cats and 20% for dogs (don't remember the exact amount), the logic being that in the wild they would eat an animal and the contents of their bellies, so a bird would have some berries, grass, etc, in their belly.
I find that one of my cats (the one raised on science diet - I know, I know, I didn't know then what I know now and it seemed better than Purina since you could only get it at the vet back in the day...) will only eat birds, so I rotate between chicken, turkey, quail and cornish hens. My other cat who ate only good canned food from the beginning will eat lamb, beef, organ meats, etc.
If you are having trouble transitioning try a pound of ground chicken with just 2 Tablespoons veg - organic pumpkin and a spinach leaf for minerals and 1/3 cup water and a little salmon oil and cod liver oil. you have to experiment because different cats like different veggies. And for the person who said a cat wouldn't eat a carrot in the wild, try a little organic pumpkin puree, you may be surprised. for some reason squash doesn't do it but cats tend to love pumpkin (which is great if they've not been well as it has a lot of moisture).
In the meantime I've been told that Petguard is the best canned food for cats (dogs have more options) and that EVO dry which is something like 95% protein is the best dry food. I give them a tablespoon or two a day as a treat but an all dry diet is not the best for cats. If so make sure they have lots of water, otherwise my vet says they should only want to drink water twice a week as they will get it thru their food if eating canned or raw meat.
If you live in the LA area, Harmony Farms in La Crescenta is a butcher that has frozen 1 lb containers of whole ground chickens, and turkey with turkey necks, any meat you could want, etc. it is all hormone and antibiotic free. they work with several different holistic vet diets and you can get it with the veggies already in it and then add fish oil, raw egg yolk, or whatever diet you follow (I use the one on Holisticat's website). It's about $3 a pound. Until I found them I was having the meat counter at Whole Foods grind a whole chicken for me - including organs and bones - but it became a big production and they didn't want to do it anymore although technically they pride themselves on doing whatever teh customer needs at the meat counter... They charged for the whole 4 lb chicken but after grinding it you would lose a pound so that $3 in essence became your grinding fee. At Harmony Farms he does huge batches at a time so can keep costs low. I'm sure you can get any butcher to grind whole fowl for you if you are patient. They have to grind it 3 times on a fine blade. You should not be able to feel the bones. With Whole Foods it was hit and miss and sometimes I'd have to take it back.
Their coats have improved, you can barely notice the cat box smell, they don't fight over their food and are not as anxious before feeding. It has made the world of difference and they only eat 2 or 3 Tablespoons each 2 x day. It's the same thing I realized when eating nutrient dense food - you don't need as much.
Hope that helps!

Please do not try to feed cats a vegan diet. Cat's are true carnivores and may die without animal foods. They are unable to digest plant foods and will eventually starve to death. Get a rabbit or other herbivorous pet if unwilling to feed flesh, not a cat.

I have three kitties. They eat mainly kibbles. All three will go to the table and beg for meat whenever my husband is eating it.
And the one that I raised myself from a kitten will come running when he smells even a hint of cantaloupe in the air. I cannot crack one open without him purring around my ankles. He also eats soft tree fruit, spinach, and small amounts of green smoothie.
Cats might need meat, but I think they're more omnivore than carnivore.

Whatever Geovany Soto wants to prove is long overdue
Geovany Soto says he has something to prove this year. I feel he's had something to prove ever since flopping after his terrific rookie season in 2008.
That was already five years ago, and the only thing Soto's proven since is that he's an incomplete, inconsistent player. Occasionally we might see a glimpse of 'rookie Geo', but mostly Soto's progressively struggled through his prime years. Good year, bad year…meh.
Who knows what Soto's really trying to prove this season. That he can be a starter again, that more fringe seasons are left in the tank, or that he can live up to the expectations that followed him since winning the Rookie of the Year Award?
"I didn't hold up my end of the bargain and I want to prove to myself and prove to the Texas Rangers that I am an All-Star caliber catcher and helps us reach the World Series."
-Soto on ESPNDallas.com
Sometimes I feel the game came too easily for Soto upon his arrival with the Cubs in late 2007, a season in which he quickly earned the trust of Sweet Lou, so much so that he started Game 2 of the NLDS vs. Arizona. Then came his fabulous rookie campaign:
-First rookie backstop ever selected to start the All-Star Game.
-Hit two 3-R HRs against Milwaukee in one game.
-Inside-the-park HR at Houston.
-A 7 RBI game against Pittsburgh.
-Caught Carlos Zambrano's no-hitter vs. Houston (in Milwaukee of course).
-Won the Pedrin Zorrilla Award (given to the most outstanding Puerto Rican player in the Major Leagues).
-Won the Rookie of the Year Award in a landslide.
-Finished 13th in the MVP voting.
The big leagues must have felt like easy money for Soto. He not only made the Show but he also made a name for himself, and worse, there was zero competition standing in his way for the starting job the next season.
Maybe it was the lack of competition that led Soto to show up at spring training overweight and out of shape in 2009? Had human nature won the best of him? Was Soto content letting the 2008 season do his talking for him, perhaps thinking there was nothing else to prove?
I didn't think so, at least not right away. Sure, I'd concede Soto was showing some immaturity, but there's no reason he wouldn't bounce back, right? Well, wrong.
Soto, it seemed, just couldn't get out of his own way. Soon thereafter he made the decision to skip working out with the Cubs in favor of joining team Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic–a decision that wouldn't have made such a stink if he had actually been playing. Instead, Soto was used sparingly, sitting behind Yadier Molina and Ivan Rodriguez.
By the end of spring training Soto was suffering from a sore right shoulder, an injury that would noticeably limit his throwing ability in the early part of the season. And by the end of April Soto was hitting .109/.268/.130. Perhaps a coincidence, but Soto's perceived lack of baseball activity in the spring combined with his wretched start to the season appeared to go hand-in-hand.
But the real kicker came in June when MLB announced Soto had tested positive for marijuana during the WBC. Not normally a story worthy of overreaction–a ballplayer smoking it up in his mid 20s–but now something was becoming clear despite Soto's foggy judgment–he was nowhere close to being fully committed to baseball.
Of course the 2009 season was a total drag for Soto–a flop-job in the wake of all the awards from the year prior. Granted, he briefly restored faith the following offseason by shedding a ton of weight and showing up to camp in tip-top shape, but it didn't last.
Soto stayed inconsistent throughout his Cubs career fluctuating between good and bad seasons. He never came close to the player many Cubs fans, including myself, thought he would be following his rookie season.
"I can do it [improve offensively], but I think in the past I haven't worked on my swing in the off-season the way I should have," said Soto to Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald.
What Soto thinks he should've been doing is unknown. It may mean he should've been working on different hitting exercises, or maybe it's code for he simply wasn't working at all during the offseason.
It wouldn't be fair to accuse him of the later without knowing for certain, but it's hard not to wonder if Soto cheated himself and the Cubs of reaching his once sky-high potential?
I doubt Soto will prove anything this season given his past performance. And unfortunately, whatever Soto is looking to prove, whether it be to fans, to baseball, or to himself…it all should have happened years ago.

When the 'Daily Deal' Is No Deal at All
Everyone loves to save money, and group-buying websites like Groupon and LivingSocial make it seem so easy. But they also make it easy -- and very tempting -- to buy more than you need, things that you don't, and coupons you'll never redeem. But you can tame your group-buying habit.

Frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of this site?
Our goal is to provide programmers with a complete online reference for the C and C++ languages and standard libraries, i.e. a more convenient version of the C and C++ standards.
The primary objective is to have a good specification of C and C++. That is, things that are implicitly clear to an experienced programmer should be omitted, or at least separated from the main description of a function, constant or class. A good place to demonstrate various use cases is the "example" section of each page. Rationale, implementation notes, domain specific documentation are preferred to be included in the "notes" section of each page.
Why is the material here limited to the standard C and C++?
In short, we chose quality over quantity. Some boost libraries could also be candidates for inclusion though. While their tutorials are very good, the reference documentation is often very inflexible and inconvenient.
Where can I find more information?
Check out the following collections of links [1] [2] for alternative links and material that falls outside of the scope of this site.
Which revision of the C Standard does this reference adhere to?
C11 is the most recently published C Standard. This means that C language is now defined in terms of C11 and we also try to stick to it. However, the differences between C89, C99 and C11 should be marked as such.
The C11 Standard can be purchased from the ISO or (often at discounted prices) from various national organizations (e.g. C11 from ANSI). Alternatively, the latest C11 Working Draft is available for free and differs only minimally from the final C11 Standard.
Which revision of the C++ Standard does this reference adhere to?
C++11 is the most recently published C++ Standard, so that is the main focus of this site.
However, in order to provide a more complete reference, we also include documentation describing previous versions of the standard (e.g. C++03) as well as draft documentation for future versions of the standard (e.g. C++14). All version-specific documentation should be labeled appropriately.
The various C++ Standards themselves can be found at:
- A free C++14 Committee Draft is available.
- The official C++11 standard can be purchased directly from the ISO or (often at discounted prices) from various national organizations, e.g. C++11 from ANSI.
- A free C++11 Working Draft is available. (The differences between the Working Draft and the C++11 Standard are minor.)
- The C++03 standard can be purchased directly from the ISO.
Do you have a version of this site suitable for offline viewing?
Sure, you can grab one here.
What can I do with the material on this site?
The content is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and by the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). That means that you can use this site in almost any way you like, including mirroring, copying, translating, etc. All we would ask is to provide link back to
cppreference.com so that people know where to get the most up-to-date content. In addition to that, any modified content should be released under a equivalent license so that everyone could benefit from the modified versions.
What? This is a wiki? Can I change stuff?
Absolutely. If you see something that is wrong, fix it. However, currently the wiki is limited to standard C and C++, so you should not add non-standard content like compiler-specific extensions. Also, please double check any changes with the appropriate standard. If you are unsure about anything, you can ask about it in the discussion pages.
How can I edit? What are the syntax rules?
This wiki uses Mediawiki, the same wiki system as the Wikipedia project. You can use their help pages to introduce you to the Mediawiki wikicode syntax. However, most of the content in this wiki is wrapped in quite complex templates. They do most of the formatting and help to aggregate the repetitive stuff in one place, so when something is to be modified, there is no need to make the same modification tens or hundreds of times. For help about the templates used in this wiki, see Help:Templates.
The wiki aims to have consistent style. Please see Help:Manual of style for a style guide that helps to follow consistent style and formatting in the wiki.
Note, however, that you don't need to know neither of the complex templates, nor abovementioned guidelines in order to contribute. It is much harder to write the content itself, than to apply the formatting, so don't care about the style when writing, as someone will fix that later.
Some high-traffic templates are locked in order to prevent vandalism or because of performance reasons. In these cases you should request a modification in the discussion page.
I want to help. Where should I start?
Great! There are several special pages that contain suggestions for things that need to be fixed:
- Pages that could use examples (a good starting point)
- Pages marked with specific todo items
- Pages marked with general todos
Who is behind this site?
cppreference.com was created and is maintained by a group of C++ enthusiasts from around the world. The site has been entirely community-supported since its inception in 2000; currently hosting costs are partially offset by the sale of horribly-pun-filled C++-related merchandise.

text: These are temporary structures that a hunter sets up before hunting season begins. Ranging in size from a single-person blind to a miniature shed-like structure that can house up to three hunters, ground blinds can be a lot of fun to use. The advantage of a ground blind is that a hunter can sit inside it and be hidden from the sight of game animals. They are very effective when set up in areas of known game travel lanes and on the edges of crop fields and overgrown areas. Pop-up or manufactured ground blinds that are enclosed with a roof are good anytime. If it rains or is windy, a hunter is protected from the elements. The disadvantage of a ground blind is if the game animals cannot see the hunter, neither can other hunters. For your safety, it is important that any ground blind be clearly marked with blaze orange to let others know that someone is inside or around the ground blind.

Comments On Apr 26, 2013:not all of the holes lined up for the lock and ride clamps so they had to be opened up with a drill bit and the roof is litterally pretty rough around the edges but I would buy it again but not because of overall satisfaction just because nobody makes anything better for less money

Quite simply, they haven't played anyone who's all that good since the streak started.
No team the Broncos have beaten over their winning streak would be in the playoffs if they started today. Only one - Cincinnati at 7-6 - currently has a winning record.
All of which adds yet another layer of intrigue to Sunday's game at Baltimore.
Not only will the game against the Ravens (9-4) go a long way toward determining where the Broncos (10-3) land in the hunt for a first-round bye in the playoffs, it will give them a litmus test on what kind of team they are heading into January.
