There really isn't much to say about The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos thus far.
Through three episodes, the 13th season of TUF is still struggling to gain a foothold. The proxy clash between heavyweight contenders Brock Lesnar and Junior "Cigano" dos Santos would be a five-alarm yawn-fest if not for the show put on by Team JDS' Ryan "The Kid" McGillivray and Team Lesnar's Len Bentley in Episode 3.
Much is being made of Bentley's status as Brock's No. 1 pick, but it's not like those selections are made after thorough evaluations. Furthermore, the Kid was Cigano's No. 2 pick and the third competitor taken overall.
Plus, he's even got his very own Wikipedia page, so we're not talking about chopped liver here.
Regardless, the pair waged an all-out, back-and-forth battle for most of the three rounds with McGillivray advancing by majority decision.
We haven't seen the last of Bentley, however, if UFC president Dana White's reaction was any indication. White was positively oozing appreciation when he greeted Len after the initial disappointment over the decision had faded a bit.
Let's hope the rest of the fellas took a cue from McGillivray, Bentley and Dana White.
And let's hope Lesnar hates losing his top hombre as much as we expect.
Check back at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT for live updates and reactions as the season really starts to roll.

After a slight delay, Penn State has landed junior college quarterback Tyler Ferguson.
Ferguson verbally committed to Penn State early Friday evening, becoming the team's 18th recruit in its 2013 class. Ferguson, though, will enroll in January and count against the Nittany Lions' 2012 scholarship numbers.
Ferguson is rated second only to Iowa Western's Kansas State recruit Jake Waters among national JUCO quarterback prospects by 247Sports.com.
Article Photos
A 6-foot-4, 210-pound freshman, Ferguson completed 55.6 percent of his passes for 2,614 yards and 22 touchdowns this fall with 12 interceptions this fall at College of the Sequoias in Visalia, Calif. Ferguson had been considered a Division I college prospect but went the junior college route when he broke his collarbone six games into his senior year at Ridgeview High School in Bakersfield - he had thrown for 1,211 yards and 10 TDs to that point as the Wolf Pack opened the season 6-0.
Ferguson got a scholarship offer from Penn State on Thursday morning after Waters announced his choice. Ferguson then decommitted from Houston and planned to make a final decision on Friday morning when it became apparent he wouldn't be able to make an official visit to University Park this weekend. However, a hold up developed during the day that pushed his decision back a few hours - Ferguson confirmed his commitment to the Lions via personal message to the Mirror around 8 p.m.
Akron and Florida Atlantic also made scholarship offers to Ferguson, who will compete with rising sophomore Steven Bench and incoming freshman Christian Hackenberg for snaps next season. Nittany Lion quarterback coach Charlie Fisher handled his recruitment.

The Jetstream Jacket is durable enough for miles of abuse in granite terrain. Seam lines are strategically located to shed water for hours and keep you dry, all while the WINDSTOPPER® laminate stops those heat sapping winds right in their tracks.
The Jetstream Jacket is the mountain hunter's workhorse, keeping you comfortable and focused in cool temperatures, high winds, intermittent precip, and everything in between. The GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Softshell fabric is 100% windproof to minimize the effects of windchill. Yet it expels perspiration, forming a microclimate around your body that is both warm and dry. With proper layering, it will take you from the first coldsnap to the end of the season.
Lightly insulated with moisture-wicking Micro Grid fleece, the Jetstream Jacket is athletically cut to fit your form and eliminate bulk. The highly durable 4-way stretch polyester weave, aggressively articulated, offers free range of motion. The dropaway hood keeps your head and neck warm, and cinches to seal out drafts. With an advanced Durable Water Repellant finish, light precipitation beads up and rolls off, helping to keep you dry when small storms crop up. Two zippered hand pockets, two zippered chest pockets and a single breast pocket cache necessities like your rangefinder and GPS unit. A strategically located forearm pocket is perfect for diaphragm calls or wind checker(available on the Open Country version only). Full pit zips create efficient convective cooling during periods of high exertion.
"The Jetstream Jacket is the most versatile mountain hunting jacket. WINDSTOPPER® allows the comfort needed for long periods of glassing."
- Sitka Athlete Adam Foss
This was the second piece of Sitka Gear that I purchased. It and the ascent pants tie for my favorite pieces. This jacket goes everywhere with me. It is always strapped to my pack or on my back. It is very quiet and it does an awesome job of blocking the wind. It breathes well and I love having pit zips to control my temperature. I have worn mine for six years of hard hunting and it still literally looks as good as the day I bought it.
Love this jacket. Only thing I would add to it is a hole so my tree stand harness could be worn under it without impeding the hood. Pit zips are great. Super quite, good wind stopper and warm. Sizing is great, 5'2 130lb and a small still gives me room to layer underneath but not too much to make it bulky. Perfection!
This is hands down my favorite jacket I own. I wear it so often, I had to order another in a solid color so I could keep my hunting one with my other gear. It fits great and very comfortable. I love how light weight it is, but it is still so warm. This jacket is so versatile in terms of it being great for so many different conditions. I love the pit zips for when it's super windy, but hiking makes you hot. Anyone looking for a versatile, light weight jacket, look no further than the jetstream. So far this is my favorite Sitka piece.
This jacket has been with me 75% of this season, and it does exactly what it is suppose to do. I've been out in 40+ mph winds and have not even felt the slightest breeze blow through this jacket. It is a awesome jacket to hike in when the temps are cold because you only need one good baselayer on, and with the pit zips you do not over heat. I've sat in temps down to 10 degrees for 4+ hours and I was wearing the merino top, the midweight zip, traverse zip, kelvin lite vest and my Jetstream, and I was very comfortable. the only bad thing I can point out about this jacket is that it seems to be cut a little short, if it was 2-3 inches longer then I couldn't find anything wrong with it. I would highly recommend this jacket to anyone who spends a lot of time in the woods when the temps are low and anywhere with high winds, it will not disappoint!
I recently returned from an elk hunting trip where it was very windy and very cold. Paired with some of my other Sitka pieces, this provided great wind protection for me, warmth and plenty of pocket space to stash my necessities. Being a 5'8" 150lb. female, the fit of the L is perfect for me, and leaves me room for my layering pieces underneath. I find myself reaching for this coat not just to hunt in, but for everyday use in the fall and winter months!
I really wish this coat was longer and priced more like KUIUs guide jacket. I purchased the jetstream and hunt in Colorado in all seasons and really wish this jacket was another 2 inches longer. I am 6"2 and 215lbs it fits but I do feel it's a bit short. I have almost every piece of Sitka one could need for the mountains of Colorado. I wish they would make a tall in every layer they had because not every one is 5"8 160lbs. I will say that I am still pleased overall with everything from Sitka I own. The jetstream could have been a bit longer.
Let me just say, I gave this jacket 3 1/2 stars because it is a very well thought out piece of gear (The pockets, pit zips, and material). HOWEVER, this jacket has the worst sizing I have ever seen! I am a fit guy: 5'8", 145 lbs, and the medium size fits me like a small. Really wish I wouldn't have ordered it online and taken the tags off. Now I am sitting with a very expensive piece equipment that I can't do anything with. Really disappointing considering most medium sized outdoor gear is slightly large on me. I would recommend only buying Sitka gear in a store where you can try it on.
Jacket has some great features, however, a non removable hood is not one of them. I am 6'3 210lbs, and purchased an XL. This jacket was about 3 inches too short for me. Also, this jacket was too small for a shell, too bulky for a mid layer, and not warm enough for just an outside layer. I wouldn't have returned this jacket if it fit. Its a great jacket, with great features.
Love this jacket. I'm 6'0" 205lbs and wear a size XL. I've read some complaints on length, but NO complaints here. I could see how it may be short on someone a few inches taller. I also purchased the 90% pants and loving these as well. I've never been more comfortable hunting. Nice gear!
This is the best jacket I have owned. Great for light rain even better for windy days. Very comfortable and with the underarm zipper you can cool down without dropping your pack.
This is my go to jacket. On my most recent hunt in the Alaska Range it kept me warm in 35 mph winds and rain (I used a rain jacket over it...) and it did its job. One of my best purchases in a long time. I've had it over a year now and have beat the hell out of it. Very happy with it.
Great coat for hunting in the rocky mountains of Alberta. My son wants to buy 2 of them and I one in woodsmoke if Sitka ever makes them in tall sizes. Would give this jacket 4 stars if I could get the proper fit
I have had this jacket for about a year, and it is without a doubt my favorite jacket anytime. Last fall while guiding elk and deer hunters here in Idaho, my clients where impressed constantly seeing how I could where it in such varying degrees of cold( or heat) in comfort. It is very warm, until the sun comes out and you simply unzip your pitzips, and cool down in a hurry. It is very durable, as well, I honestly have thought several times while walking through thorns that it must have ripped, but it never does. I do wish it was about an inch and a half longer though. I am 5'11" and it barely goes to my belt. Overall, though, I'm very satisfied!
Took the ATV up to the mountain today (40 miles up and back) and thought it was a good opportunity to see what the jacket was made of. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Weather was warm on the bottom, not a problem, just undid the arm pit zippers. Half way up it started to get a little cooler, zipped the pit zippers. There was still snow at the top of the mountain, mix that in with some overcast skies and it got to be noticeably chilly. When fully zipped the collar covers your mouth which was nice when riding at 30 mph in the high country at these conditions. All in all this jacket IS VERY HARD TO BEAT. The elements weren't a problem thanks to the design and materials this jacket has and is made of. With a thin tee shirt I actually started sweating on the decent because the jacket held up so good. Busting through snow drifts and deep long water puddles staying dry wasn't a problem either, though not technically water proof. Going home I hit speeds between 40 and 60 mph and almost flew off the seat because the air couldn't and wouldn't penetrate the jacket (parachute type of effect). I have the "Moss Color" and will definitely get one in Optifade this fall for hunting purposes. With the conditions I've experienced today, there is no doubt it will perform during hunting season, it is a necessity to ones outdoor gear. I'm 6' at 250 lbs (size XXL), the only "complaint" is the length otherwise the arms and width of the product is perfect. If you live for the outdoors, get one!
I hunt the backcountry where every ounce in my pack counts! Got this jacket as a layering piece. It's an awesome performer! Love the fit and fabric. It's just the right amount of warmth without the bulk to interfere with my bow string. Worth every penny! Well thought out design!! Love it!!
This product is athletic fit, therefore what size you would normally wear,will feel some what tighter. For instance, I wear medium in all Sitka gear. This jacket fits as well, it is just tight and not great for layering underneath. However, the jacket itself is strong and warm. I LOVE all the pockets. I work on a ranch and do a good amount of hunting. My only problem with this jacket is that the threads give way easily. Barbwire, cat scratch or thorns can tear the threads on this jacket, but please don't let that prevent you from buying. I have put this jacket through much stress and It still does well in the rain (although not technically waterproof) and keeps me warm, even if the temps are slightly below freezing. I would recommend this jacket to someone in my situation. This is not a four star jacket for what I do, but it is a solid three star!
I loved this jacket but I returned it because it was way too short. I love the athletic fit except anyone taller than 5'9" will find it too short. I'm 6'2" and I really hope Sitka will offer tall sizes some day. Until then, I'll have to settle for gear that isn't as good but at least fits me.
I really love this jacket except I had to purchase a XXL to get better sleeve length and the body is too big now. My son and nephew would buy this jacket except they are 6'3 and 6'4 and need tall sizes. I hope Sitka will start making tall sizes as I would purchase another coat in woodsmoke for every day wear
Awesome jacket! I have nothing bad to say about it. I wear this with only a tight fitting shirt in weather well under 40 degrees. This fall season I wore it with non-Sitka pants and the difference between jacket and pants was amazing. My experience with this jacket is the reason I am now collecting Sitka Gear. It works in the rain just fine and the Windstopper is fantastic. DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY THIS JACKET!
Great jacket, but it is a little short in the sleeves and torso. I am 6'5" 220 and I need to wear XXL to be able to cover my wrist & waist. Besides that I will continue to wear this until it falls apart.
I bought this jacket many years before i was a Gore Hunting Tech and I still tout this jacket as a must for every mountain hunter. It just saved me on an antelope hunt in central Montana when the temperature plummeted and we were hit with every kind of weather possible. I was so thankful to have this in my arsenal. It keeps me warm and dry on every hunt and I firmly believe this is a cornerstone to any Sitka System.
Great quality and attention to detail, but Sitka seem to cater towards shorter folks. I'm 6'2" and 185lbs and every year have my fingers crossed that Sitka will come out with a TALL option and every year I'm disappointed. Their XL fits snug in the chest (I'm a 42"-44") and short in the torso and sleeves (you can really see/feel it in the sleeves when you draw or reach forward.) not just on their Jetstream Jacket, but on all their jackets I've ever tried on. The XXL does the trick as far as the sleeve length goes but then I'm swimming in the rest of it and lose that athletic/slimmer cut that is the point of having hunting gear designed like mountain climbing gear. Would also like to see a drop tail on more of these outer shell jackets; as hunters and outdoorsmen, how many times are we crouching down, squatting, sitting up against a tree or rock, and wish we had more material back there for cover? It's the little things.
I used mine for about 4months of guiding this past year, it worked great! Also it kept the wind out witch was a huge thing for me because of were I was hunting, And it cleans up well! I highly recommend this jacket!!
Being a hunter living in Patagonia, It´s a perfect all season jacket. Where a strong wind hits you all day long, it´s something you have to be concerned about it and this jacket is my solution for that. The windstopper fabric works very good without missing flexibility. It breath and strech well. It has the same alpine fit that my other brand climbing gear has, so when I´m hunting I feel as comfortable as when I´m climbing and I was looking for that for years. Sitka found that conection between those activities. As the season goes on, I wear my Traverse Hoody under and I can also wear my Kelving lite vest. Endind with my Kelvin Down Hoody. For me, Sitka Gear changed when way of hunting.
This is, by far, the most utilized jacket and the go-to in my entire arsenal of jackets. It offers just enough wind protection, but is breathable enough when the pursuit requires you to head skyward! If I know there will be a chance for rain I just toss in a light waterproof overcoat and I am set for all but the most frigid environments. You will not be disappointed in the performance of this jacket!
The Jetstream Jacket in solid Moss color has become my favorite all around town cool/cold weather piece. The softshell exterior fabric and Gore Windstopper laminate cuts wind, sluffs light precipitation and the micro fleece interior backing adds warmth. However, that isn't why it is the jacket I grab when I leave the house more often than not. I wear it all the time because it is comfortable and looks great. Another Sitka Gear winner!

Pit zips, hood that stays where you need it, fit, finish. Those are the first things that come to mind. I wore it from September in the 60's till a week before Thanksgiving where temps dipped to 0 in the morning. I remained warm and comfortable. And while chasing elk in archery season I had no time to take it off in order try and close the distance before dark so I just unzipped the pit zips and cooled right off just enough during the fast grind towards the bugling elk. Solid piece of gear. I understand fully why many people consider it one of the best jackets Sitka has produced. I was never stuck in constant wind gusts to test the windstopper fabric but what I did encounter I never had any issues. I would recommend it to anyone.
Bought the Jetstream as my outer layer for my first backcountry blacktail hunt. I heat up really fast on the move, so having a windproof softshell with pit zips was a great find. Being that it was opening weekend, I figured all I'd have to deal with was wind. I couldn't have been more wrong. It rained much of the morning on the first day, and turned into sleet as the day wore on. For a non-waterproof jacket, the Jetstream delivered. Visored hood kept my glasses water-free, and the fabric, though sodden after a few hours, delivered the needed wind protection and warmth to keep my temperature up. The Optifade was put to the test on the second day. On the fire road out of camp, three does and a spike crossed in front of me. Silhouetted on the road twenty-five yards away, I held stock still. The blacktails knew I wasn't quite right, but couldn't figure out what I was. They resumed their grazing for a few minutes before moving on. Major confidence boost there. Rarely took it off the rest of the trip because it was so versatile, top marks on design details and fabric choice. My only concern is the chest sizing due to the raglan sleeve design. Going off the sizing chart, I was definitely an XL thanks to my 45" chest. However, the more I wear the jacket, it feels constricting across the shoulders when I reach forward. This is most apparent when I'm setting up a braced shooting position, where my sleeves also ride up past my wrists. It's given me pause about getting the Cloudburst due to the similar design. That being said, I appreciate the fact that Sitka has taken the time to meld the outdoor fabrics I'm familiar with and a first-class disruptive pattern. I heartily recommend the gear to my friends.
Dear Zach, We love customers who have been SITKA fans from the beginning. The Celsius was an early flagship piece for SITKA and still remains a fond memory. The Celsius and all of the the products we started with were platforms for improvements and evolution. Some you can physically see and feel. But the best changes are the ones that you experience. How the jacket, vest, pant, etc perform in the field. These are the wins that we celebrate. How were we able to simplify something that was overkill or add a feature with a very specific end use or a finishing detail that is cleaner, lighter, and performs better. Some changes also represent sacrifices too. As our lead designer always says "As soon as you begin designing, you start sacrificing". It's just a reality. Full concealment zippers...We HATE the white backside. We've tried for the last two years to come up with a good work around. The priority was to eliminate the bisecting aspect a center front zipper causes, disrupting the symmetry of the human form. This is part of the science of nothing. We have worked with YKK (one of the best zipper suppliers in the world) on this project from inception. We can get the front of the zippers printed, but we have to start with a white base. We've tried and continue to pursue alternatives to the white base. But when balancing the priorities between eliminating symmetry and a white backer, we chose the science of concealment. I too have used a sharpie on my personal garment for the back of the zipper. If you ever have a problem with our manufacturing, we will warranty the garment. The installation of the zipper is solid. In regards to the fabric, we're glad you like the soft hand. That was a goal. It also performs. The Jetstream Jacket has spent more days in the Alaskan bush than most and continues to receive rave reviews. We hope you have the same experience in the field too. The face fabric is a tightly woven 75 denier face that is inherently water resistant for inclemental weather conditions. This tightly woven face also delivers great abrasion, tear, and puncture resistance. Coupled with the weight saving heat-to-weight ratio benefits of the micro-grid backer and WINDSTOPPER laminate technology...it's really a tough solution to beat. Our top mountain hunting athletes default to the Jetstream time and time again. Please let us know how it performs for you as well.
I just received my Jetstream and I'm extremely pleased with it generally. Lightweight, stretchy--it promises to be a great general purpose jacket. But, I have one specific criticism that I think the guys at Sitka probably would like to hear. I also have an older (discontinued) Celsius vest (which I love). The Celsius *jacket* had some awkward spots: weird straps at the wrist and mouth area, which the Jetstream jacket avoids. (This was why I chose the Celsius vest versus jacket in the first place). And yet the Celsius also had more attention to other details: the zipper backer, for example, on the Celsius is a blended shade of gray/brown. I cannot for the life of me understand why Sitka used a bright white zipper backer on the Jetstream; if you have the coat partway unzipped, it shows (as seen in Mr. Putin's picture above), and frankly it looks cheap. I plan to color mine with permanent gray marker so it doesn't stand out as much. Moreover, on the Celsius the zipper backer was actually edged over with a nice ribbon, folded over and stitched down, to prevent the outer edge from fraying; this not only looked nice but also increased the durability of the fabric. Finally at the base of the Jetstream zipper the stitching is just kind of wonky, like it barely passed QC. I only say this stuff because in my experience these are things fabric designers notice and hope their customers don't; this time we did, and it may be time for a word with the factory. Finally, while the Celsius wasn't Gore-tex Windstopper, it was made of some kind of matrix-glued or laminated face fabric which has proven impressively durable. I liken the Celsius material to rhino hide. With the Jetstream the fabric is softer to the touch and--I believe--will be easier to pull loops in if you come up against something sharp, like a briar patch. So in short I love the advanced design of the Jetstream and I think it is a clear improvement on the Celsius Jacket, especially at the cuffs and around the mouth flap, but in terms of build quality and attention to detail, I fear Sitka may have taken a minor step back.
I agree with all of the other reviews, this is a great jacket. However, until they start making tall/longer sizes I won't buy anymore Sitka gear. I'm 6'1 190lbs and the XL fits snug and perfect but it is at least 2" too short. Not sure about you but I don't like fealing a draft shooting up my back.
Just got back from a weekend elk hunt in the Bridger Teton National Forest, Jackson, Wy, where I live. We had a mixed bag of weather, 19-40 degrees, 5-30 mph wind, rain, graupel, snow and some sun. 7500 - 9800 ft elevation. Awesome system for moisture management! Day 1-Start out in morning 32degrees 20mph wind light rain as we started to gain in altitude we were hammered with graupel then snow. I went with merino top, traverse hoody [wore hood almost all day kept wind and snow off my neck], down vest and Jetstream Jacket. Jetstream is what you want for these conditions! Quiet, windproof, lIght weight, storage pockets, functional hood, freedom of movement and pit zips is a "have to have" feature for the mountain hunter. Day 2-19 degrees, added light down coat under Jetstream strip and add layers as needed. This is my new go to jacket love it!!
The Jetstream jacket is the first jacket I pull out of my sitka system for a couple reasons; the fabric is quiet, the jacket fits like it's custom, and the Windstopper membrane does exactly what it is supposed to do. You put this jacket on and it's clear that the boys in Bozeman see the details and did their homework. Since I archery hunt and shoot, the flexibility of the hood is also a huge plus. Hood-block is never an issue.
I absolutely fell in love with this jacket last year; while on a Caribou hunt in Alaska. I had previously owned the original version and had really liked it, except that I wished that it had pit zips and a hood. So when I got the updated version; low and behold: pit zips and hood! Like I had mentioned before; I had used this jacket extensively while on a Caribou hunt, along the North Slope of the Brooks Mountain Range. We encountered weather that seemed to change about every twenty minutes; so it was a game of constant rearranging of your layers. This is one piece that I always put back on. Having a DWR treatment meant that I didn't have to bust out the raingear every time it started to drizzle. The GORE Windstopper blocks the wind like an NFL linebacker, which is essential during high output activities, where you are prone to be sweating = retain body heat. It's not quite as breathable as the 90% jacket; so it is definitely the warmer of the two pieces (the pit zips come in handy). The jacket has more of an athletic fit; which makes it more friendly for layering underneath rain gear or other pieces. This jacket fits like a glove and is designed to move; I never feel "restrained" while wearing my Jetstream jacket. It's so comfortable that I've found myself wearing this jacket "around" and to work. For this very reason I am very stoked that it now is available in a solid color version. Hands down my favorite jacket; regardless of the activity. Luke J. GORE-TEX Hunting Tech
mr. Putin also values this jacket:) http://ncontent.life.ru/media/2/galleries/2013/07/5294/595d1771e6f8680003b0a20893c5fe2e.jpg
Do you want a jacket that is both highly functional and looks sharp. Well this is it. The Jetstream jacket is made with Gore Windstopper fabric, this means that the wind doesn't blow away your heat but allows the jacket to breath. I wear this on campus, while biking, out with the lady, in the mountians, on a multipitch route, anywhere. Tons of pockets will hold whatever you need. Functional hood can fit over a helmet. One of the features I really like are the cuffs, these are tapered to fit snug without using a velcro tab. Pit zips help to cool you down if necessary. I am a Gore product tester and they got this jacket right. It doesn't look flashy like some other companies, blends right in. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a windproof, do all jacket.

The "friends" on your FaceBook page that you haven't ever met, haven't seen since high school (or college) or otherwise with which you would have little to no association.
Apart from the gross of FBriends listed on my brother's page, he only had a handful of people that he truly knew. What a loser.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Someone you are friends with on FaceBook, only on FaceBook, have never personally met, exchanged messages with, heard second-hand references to, or maybe not even seen more than a name and avatar of. Merely calling them "friend" almost insults the meaning of friendship, especially compared to your real friends or even passing aquaintances. In fact people call them "FaceBook Friend" or "Friend-on-FaceBook" knowing that God will punish them for using the word "friend" so cavalierly.
He's just a FBriend, I vaguely remember FBriending him when I was drunk and saw he had 56 FBriends in common with my best friend.

Skype or Google Voice? Which Offers the Best Budget VoIP Package?
While there is a wide range of premium VoIP services to choose from, the fact of the matter is that free or budget services will be more than suitable for the majority.
The problem is though, there is quite a wide range of free services too. These free services also vary in service quality, so it can be difficult to know which one to choose.
mainstreet.com have just posted a handy guide comparing arguably the most well known free VoIP services – Skype and Google Voice.
Skype and Google Voice are, in fundamental ways, different, and they have very different price structures. Google Voice is free, calling in the U.S. to U.S. numbers is also free; calling landlines in much of the world costs two cents per minute, and calling mobile phones outside the U.S. usually is 10 cents.
Skype, by contrast, has its roots in free calling, computer to computer. That Skype-to-Skype calling still is the service's forte and many of those free calls now are good quality video calls.
The above excerpt is just a small extract from the initial introduction. The full guide goes into far more detail and is spread across 3 pages.
The full guide can be found by clicking here.

If the promoted type of the left-hand operand is int, only the five lowest-order bits of the right-hand operand are used as the shift distance. It is as if the right-hand operand were subjected to a bitwise logical AND operator & (�15.22.1) with the mask value 0x1f. The shift distance actually used is therefore always in the range 0 to 31, inclusive.

The only thing I see possible is because tootoo came at polak hard but missed him and crashed the boards and polak was crying about it? but tootoo never even hit him...
I said this in the GDT, but this happened a lot in the first round of the playoffs last season.
Remember when towards the end of games, tough guys were being thrown out for jawing with other players or pushing and shoving? It's like proactive officiating. The refs were instructed by the league to throw tough guys out of games late, so that nothing would eventually escalate. The league was probably upset by the bad publicity the first round received last year.
This makes guys like Tootoo, and certainly enforcers, completely obsolete when they're not even allowed to do their jobs. It's like creating a new set of rules that don't already exist.
10 minute misconduct for being a tough guy and potentially starting a later altercation. Nice one NHL.

Work begins in earnest this month on a long-delayed construction project on Upper King Street that will be anchored by two Hyatt hotel flags.
Crews are preparing to demolish several vacant structures on 2.4 acres at King and Spring streets as the $80 million second half of the Midtown redevelopment project gets rolling. Preliminary test pilings are already underway.
A 10-story dual-branded Hyatt House and Hyatt Place hotel with a combined 304 guest rooms and ground-floor retail space along King will begin taking shape on Aug. 26, said Reid Freeman, president of Atlanta-based Regent Partners, a partner in the long-planned project with CC&T Real Estate Services.
It's scheduled to be completed in March 2015, said Robert Clement, president of Charleston-based CC&T.
The project will include four new buildings totaling 433,000 square feet. Two existing structures on the site will be saved.
In addition to the 232,000-square-foot hotel, a seven-story parking garage with 400 spaces will rise on an adjacent parcel.
Freeman said the group decided to go with a dual brand of Hyatt because it's looking to capture different types of guests. The hotels will have separate lobbies. Hyatt Place will be the bigger of the two, with 191 rooms.
Midtown, which originally included the parcel where the 200-unit Elan Midtown apartment complex is nearing completion, will be one of the largest redevelopment projects in downtown Charleston, Clement said.
"For the longest time, King Street has needed this bookend," he said.
Evening Post Industries, The Post and Courier's owner, also has plans for that rapidly changing area of the city. It owns about 12 acres at and around the newspaper's headquarters, about a block north of the Midtown site. The company is proposing to redevelop the property into a mix of new residential and commercial uses, but no plans have been approved.
A rendering of the new Midtown hotel project looking east. King Street is in the foreground. Spring Street is on the corner on the far left. The project includes four buildings: a 10-story, dual-flagged Hyatt hotel on the left; a four-story, mixed-use building in the bottom center on King Street with a seven-story parking garage behind it; and a two-story building also on King Street. Preliminary construction work such as test pilings is underway. Major construction will start next Monday on the $80 million project.×

Joe Hanel/Durango Herald
DENVER � President Barack Obama left little doubt Wednesday how he plans to win Colorado in November.
About 100 women filled the bleachers behind the president as he spoke from a podium with a sign that read: �Women�s Health Security.�
The campaign rally was part of the president�s renewed embrace of his health-care law, especially its effects on women. He even has embraced his opponents� label of �Obamacare.�
�The decisions that affect a woman�s health � they�re not up to politicians. They�re not up to insurance companies. They�re up to you, and you deserve a president who will fight to keep it that way,� Obama said.
Republican Mitt Romney�s campaign responded quickly, sending out emails titled �The Obama Economy: Hostile to Women� and announcing a national Women for Mitt coalition.
Women made up half of Romney�s cabinet when he was governor of Massachusetts, said that state�s former lieutenant governor, Kerry Healey.
�Looking at Mitt�s extraordinary track record supporting women in the workforce, it�s clear that whether women choose to work at home, in government or the private sector, Mitt understands and respects the value of each woman�s contribution to American prosperity,� Healey said in a news release.
Romney also dispatched one of his possible vice presidential picks, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, on a bus tour of the Front Range.
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., helped introduce Obama on Wednesday.
Women made the difference to Bennet�s election in 2010, when he beat Ken Buck by tagging the Republican as hostile to women�s rights. Bennet said Republicans� goal of undoing Obama�s health-insurance law would take the country �back to a time that being a woman was a pre-existing condition.�
Obama pointed out that as of last week, insurance companies have to provide coverage for eight women�s health services, including breast-feeding support and contraception.
Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown graduate student who was at the center of a national debate on contraception last winter, also spoke for Obama.
�Never again will we pay more for our insurance policies simply because we are women,� Fluke said.
Obama dove right in to the debate over whether companies should have to provide women�s health services, including contraception, even if it runs counter to the owner�s religious beliefs.
�I don�t think your boss should get to control the health care you get,� Obama said. �I don�t think politicians should control the care you get. I think there is one person who should make decisions on health care, and that is you.�
From Denver, Obama headed to Grand Junction, an area that leans Republican. In front of a raucous crowd in a high school gymnasium, Obama pressed forward with his effort to paint Romney as protector of the rich because of his support for extending Bush-era tax cuts for all income earners.
Obama said Romney is struggling to explain to voters how the tax cuts could continue without adding to the deficit and having middle-class Americans pay more.
�There�s a whole different type of gymnastics being performed by Mr. Romney than what is happening at the Olympics,� he said.
Obama wants to extend the tax cuts for families making less than $250,000 a year. Under his plan, families who make more would still be taxed on a lower rate for their first $250,000 in income and at a higher rate for any additional income.
The president also was scheduled to speak today in Pueblo and Colorado Springs.

Last week, A.J. Marin was arrested in Harrisburg, Pa., for writing in chalk on the sidewalk. Marin was participating in a health care demonstration outside Gov. Tom Corbett's residence when he wrote, "Governor Corbett has health insurance, we should too." Authorities charged Marin with writing "a derogatory remark about the governor on the sidewalk." The horror.
This follows the case of Jeff Olson, who chalked messages such as "Stop big banks" outside branches of Bank of America last year. Law professor Jonathan Turley reports that prosecutors brought 13 vandalism charges against him. Moreover, the judge in the case recently prohibited Olson's attorney from "mentioning the First Amendment, free speech," or anything like them during the trial.

In May, a Texas woman was arrested for asking to see a warrant for the arrest of her 11-year-old son. "She spent the night in jail while her son was left at home," reports Fox34 News. The son never was arrested. Also in Texas, Justin Carter has spent months in jail — and faces eight years more — for making an admittedly atrocious joke about shooting up a school in an online chat. Though he was plainly kidding, authorities charged him with making a terrorist threat.
Federal prosecutors also recently used an anti-terrorism measure to seize almost $70,000 from the owners of a Maryland dairy. Randy and Karen Sowers had made several bank deposits of just under $10,000 to avoid the headache of filing federal reports required for sums over that amount. The feds charged them with unlawful "structuring." Last week, they settled the case. Authorities kept half their money to teach them a lesson.

Beaumont you would have done better to claim it was a joke because it most definitely not the full truth.
You need to read the Northwest Ordinance of 1787.
The Founding Fathers made successful efforts to contain or limit slavery throughout the United States and territories, including banning slavery in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, and abolishing the international slave trade in 1807.
So therefore Beaumont, your statement was repugnant and that is just many of the reasons our Country suffers today. We are all being punished for what was once a way of life over a 100 years ago.

I foresee more of a fracturing apart occurring first. The areas of the U.S. that benefit the least from the so called "reforms" will eventually figure out that the only way to avoid being in violation of the Constitution and/or federal law while maintaining local order (both social and financial) is to become an entity that is not subject to either. The fall will begin with the subsequent territory disputes leading to conflict and the overall weakening of the former empire enticing aggressive foreign powers to invade.

Santiago is most effective as a God when in the act of transcended emulsion with this one woman.

A common name for a funny friend. Usually nicknamed Santi which is derived from Santiago. Santi is used by said persons good friends, and will likely spread to all of the people that said person knows. Soon, said person will become Santi, ridding himself of his family given name, in favor of the coolest nickname of all time. The furthest thing from emo.

A walking mound of intelligence, creativity, sexual superiority, and brawn. Usually, many are intimidated by his facile technique and his shear presence can be felt miles far from where he may be located. For those that don't know.. One should watch their actions and words. A Santiago may become irritable to those who have a labeled status of fool, ignorant bean, or cur. If you are not careful he may beat the shit out of you, shut you up, or take your woman. Most likely things will result in a combination of two or all three at once. And even though his aura is pretty much strong enough to pop your hot sister's tits, he is slow to anger, quick to tell a joke, and quicker to smash some good cooch. A great friend and funny person, Santiago's are amazing to be around.
"Dad? I love you and all but.. I want to grow up to be Santiago."
"Madam. The nurse and i had to saw off our hands after handling the baby. He is truly Santiago."

Syria's Sarin, Chemical Weapons: FAQ
Dec. 6, 2012 -- Syria's military is reported to be prepared to use sarin, a potent nerve gas, posing an obvious threat to Syrian civilians -- and to the rest of the world.
What is sarin? What other chemical weapons are in Syria's arsenal? Might the weapons fall into the wrong hands? See below for answers to these and other questions posed by this troubling development.
What Is Sarin?
Sarin, also known as GB, is a man-made nerve gas not found in nature. It's one of the most deadly and fastest-acting chemical weapons known to man.
Developed by a German chemist in 1938, sarin was too dangerous for its intended use as a pesticide. The Nazis developed sarin into a chemical weapon, but never used it.
Iraq is thought to have deployed sarin weapons during the Iran-Iraq war. Iraq also used sarin in an attack on its own Kurdish population. It was used in the subways of Japan in a domestic terrorist attack by an apocalyptic cult.
How Does Sarin Harm People?
Sarin is a close relative of organophosphate bug-killers, but is far more powerful. On humans, it has much the same effect as these pesticides have on bugs.
According to the CDC, sarin blocks the chemical "off switch" for glands and muscles. Muscles quickly fail, and a person who gets a lethal dose stops being able to breathe.
Chemical weapons typically use aerosolized sarin, which has no odor or color. People exposed to the vapor, or who get a drop or two of liquid sarin on their skin, die within minutes to 18 hours. Sarin could also be used to poison water or food.
Sarin evaporates quickly. Clothing contaminated with sarin gives off deadly fumes for about 30 minutes, posing a risk to rescue workers and medical personnel.
Why Worry About Syria's Sarin?
Leonard Spector, deputy director of the nonprofit James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, in 2011 reported that the U.S. government believes Syria has a large stockpile of chemical agents. These agents range from mustard gas -- infamously used during World War I trench warfare -- to sarin and an even more deadly nerve gas called VX.

The blessing of a new, donated state fisheries enforcement boat, Kai'aiki, on Saturday and the launch of a pilot nearshore waters enforcement unit are both steps toward protecting ocean resources, said longtime fisherman Darrell Tanaka.
But much more needs to be done statewide, he said.
"I think the results that this special unit will produce will be very eye-opening to everyone," he said. "It will shed light on a criminal element that is rarely seen . . . There's more poaching going on than people realize."

Kahu John Kapono'aikaulikeikeao Molitau blesses the state's new fisheries enforcement boat. The boat will be used by officials belonging to a pilot nearshore waters enforcement unit that will patrol 13 miles of Maui's north shore from Hulu Island off Kahakuloa to Baldwin Beach Park in Paia. Conservation International donated the boat to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources.
The Maui News / BRIAN PERRY photo
The pilot Community Fisheries Enforcement Unit will include three state Department of Land and Natural Resources' Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement officers, a data manager, a program coordinator and a member of Makai Watch, a group that works to restore and sustain coastal resources. The enforcement unit will police a 13-mile stretch of coastline from Hulu Island off Kahakuloa to Baldwin Beach Park in Paia, extending three miles seaward.
While the enforcement will not affect deep-water commercial fishing, it is expected to have an impact on the fishing of lobster and octopuses and reef fish such as kumu and uhu, said Tanaka, a former commercial spear fisherman and occasional pole fisher.
The new enforcement unit is a pilot project, although the intention of state enforcement officials is for it to be a template for enforcing state resource laws in nearshore waters statewide.
"It will highlight the need for more enforcement on every island, on every shoreline," said Tanaka, who added that the state needs more enforcement officers to protect future resources.
The state budget proposed recently by the House Finance Committee proposes eliminating vacant positions, many of which are in the DLNR, he said.
"The state House has a history of being an enemy of our natural resources," he said.
Maui's north shore still has a relatively healthy reef ecosystem that warrants additional protection, he added.
"There's still fish out there," he said. "We need to protect what we have left out there."
Maui's north shore is protected by both its extensive reef and its sometimes difficult-to-access shoreline because of rough weather, Tanaka said.
By comparison, South Maui's reefs are more depleted.
"In South Maui, you'd be hard-pressed to find one legal lobster," he said, adding that tako (octopuses) are sparse there and kumu are a "rare sighting."
Pukalani resident and longtime fisherman Norm Ham said he initially thought the new enforcement boat was an unnecessary waste of money. But after Saturday's blessing, he learned that the vessel was donated by the Conservation International Hawaii Fish Trust, and he said he saw that the enforcement was aimed at preserving resources for his grandchildren and future Hawaiians.
"It has to work," he said. "Something spiritual happens when people get together and want to make sure everything is enforced."
Ham said, though, there's a bigger picture for the health of reefs, including the need to protect them from pollution, whether it be runoff from golf course fertilizers or petroleum residue on island roads.
"It's bad for the ocean, but what can you do?" he asked.
Tanaka said there's "no quick fix" to pollution that affects reef life.
But he said the state still needs to start with adequate enforcement of meaningful regulations.
"From there, we build up and tackle larger problems," he said.
"I hope it works," said fisherman Max Renigado, of the new enforcement effort, although the Lanai resident added that he expects fishermen to resist the attempt to police the area.
"That's the nature of life," he said. "They don't understand the reason why."
Renigado said it will take at least five and perhaps as much as 20 years to see a positive impact from increased enforcement on nearshore ocean resources.
"I hope I get to see the results," he said.
Tanaka said Saturday's blessing of the Kai'aiki is "definitely a step in the right direction."
"It's a small step that shouldn't have been so difficult to achieve in the first place," he said.
That the boat was paid for with private funding should be an embarrassment for the state, Tanaka said.
"The state should be doing this," he said. "When is the state going to step up to the plate to meaningfully protect our reefs?"
Randy Awo, administrator of the state DLNR's Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement, said the new enforcement unit is an initiative that "focuses on the protection of our nearshore fisheries through community collaboration and the creation of enforcement models that are more focused and efficient."
Awo has said that there are fewer than 100 state enforcement division officers to patrol more than 3 million acres of water, the fourth largest coastline in the nation, and 1.3 million acres of state land, and the 11th largest forest reserve in the United States.
Kai'aiki is named after the wind that blows from Wailuku to Hamakuapoko.
The development of the pilot enforcement program is a collaborative effort among the Hawaii Fish Trust, the Harold K.L. Castle Foundation and the DLNR, state officials said.

Mardi Gras: Happy Pancake Day!
Today is a most delicious day of the year, Pancake Day.
Pancake Day is also known as Shrove Tuesday. The meaning of shrove derives from "confess." The day marks the last day of celebration before 40 days of "shriving" - or absolution for one's sins - during the Christian festival of Lent.
It was common to host a family feast beginning with luxurious or "fatty" foods not eaten during the weeks of Lent. Sugar, milk and eggs were good ingredients and - combined - formed yummy pancakes.

You won't, because Nokia will sell its mobile division for sure, but to Microsoft. They cannot survive without producing an Android phone, but they'll never make one because of Microsoft's influence on Nokia. So the logical consequence can be only one: Nokia will sell the mobile division to Microsoft, that's what we knew from the beginning.

"Nokia's cash position has dropped from 4 billion euros to somewhere in the range of 2 to 2.5 billion euros, and that was before Nokia announced that it was planning to spend 1.7 billion to buy out Siemens"
Ehmm..no. Didn't you even read your sources?
Reuters: "Nokia put its net cash position at 3.7-4.2 billion euros at the end of the second quarter, and said that if the NSN deal had closed in the second quarter, the cash position would have been 2.0-2.5 billion euros."
It clearly says that net cash is 3.7-4.2 billion EUR and would be 2.0-2.5 HAD the NSN deal closed in the second quarter. Correct your article.

...or...someone on Wall Street benefits from this story by trying to avoid an iminent short squezze.
Do you really think the BoD of Nokia would approve the purchase of 49% of NSN without looking at the underlying cashflow to finance this approach? If cash is so limited, do you really think the BoD would approve of this plan without having a buyer for the other business already in hand. If it did, don't you think it would be material to legally disclose this fact beforehand to the investors?
The other "story" could be that Nokia's cashflow is actually improving and PROJECTED to continue to improve. That management is confident in these projections and willing to use a portion of exisiting reserves to take full ownership of a business that is cashflow ACCRETIVE!
On top of this, Nokia is already carrying the overhead of NSN (all employees, etc) as the controlling 51% entity. Clearly, the advantages of a full consolidation must also be considered.
Lastly, what if a Private Equity firm or consortium of firms are willing to purchase full ownership after NSN's consolidation under Nokia. The previous 49% sale wasn't going to help a PE firms approach...but now that Nokia will have 100%...maybe...just maybe...Nokia already has an offer at a very nice return for its efforts.
IMHO, the story your floating is for benefit of the short community.

The story is likely to be false, and was put out by those who are shorting Nokia, the likes of which have been caught off guard by Nokia's talks with Microsoft and also their NSN consolidation purchase. They are looking to avoid being smashed before Q2 results are released on July 18th, and spreading myth about cash burn is designed to help them to buy extra time to exit their short positions...

Existence of Nokia is a need for the users to keep the smartphone market hot and competition among could benefit the users and more innovation. Duopoly of Apple and Samsung is hurting now.

Nokia, once a smartphone titan, punished for its lack of innovation and killed off by Microsoft.

As they've already stated, it will fund the acquisition with a bridge loan, probably from the sale of Convertible Notes.
Siemens is a future cash-cow that could prove to be extremely profitable for Nokia. Its potential growth is seemingly limitless, particularly when you think about the fact that countries like the USA, among others, are still reliant on an ageing DSL network. To this end, high-speed broadband (in the true sense of fiber-to-the-home) is the next logical step toward achieving the Holy Grail of multifarious communication - convergence.
Let's also not forget who their major partner is - Microsoft - and If you think they don't have $1.7 billion to spend on a few convertible notes, then sadly you're even more dellusional than these so called "expert analysts".

Folks there could be some truth in this because maybe the main reason Microsoft may have backed out of the deal to buy Nokia not long ago was Nokia was tied up with Siemens. Siemens may have priced their share Of Nokia so high that Microsoft walked out the deal plus the fact Microsoft did not want to deal with Siemens. Now that Nokia is free now Microsoft can seal the deal and buy Nokia and I hope that Microsoft does Buy Nokia because Microsoft has no guarantee that it's other OEM partners will continue to make Windows 8 smart phones because they do not sell as well as Apple Iphones or Android smart phones
