Boys names with a twist I love:
Dashiel Remy Finlay Jasper (Although this seems to be flavour of the month at the moment) I went for safer names though despite adoring the names above. Edited by Bek+3, 07 January 2013 - 04:02 PM. #4Posted 07 January 2013 - 03:54 PM
Classic w/ a twist, skipping straightforward classics of the William/John mold even though I like some of them too:

Harrison - I really can't see why this is such a popular name
Mitchell - love it & love the nn Mitch Nathaniel - same as Harrison Elliott - really like this Alexander - really like this Nicholas - a bit blah Jamieson - don't like Anthony - a bit blah, I do like Anton Ashton - ok Asher - girls name Felix - I think of the cat Theo - don't like Jonta - reminds of of a horse Davin - looks incomplete Jovani - I think it sounds too soft? Jackson - same as Harrison Lucas - love this! Luca - girls name Matteo - looks incompleate Matthias - don't hate it but nms Matthian - looks incomplete Nico - too nn'ish Rico - same as Nico Toby - a bit blah Xavier - same as Harrison Xander - same as Harrison I'd consider Elliott, Alexander, Lucas or Mitchell Sorry I thought this was your list! I do like Gudrun's Louis & Marcus suggestion. Edited by Kikki-B, 07 January 2013 - 06:36 PM. #8Posted 07 January 2013 - 06:38 PM
Edmund Albert Felix Hugo Herbert Edwin Edited by **Marni**, 07 January 2013 - 06:40 PM. #9Posted 24 February 2013 - 03:09 PM Mitchell, Nicholas, Jackson, Harrison, Alexander, Xavier all used in my family.....other names really don't take my fancy, some of them maybe a bit to extreme. What do you think of Lincoln, Alby, Dougie ?? #10Posted 24 February 2013 - 03:38 PM
Lincoln is good.
Alby is great but only as NN eg to Albert or Albin. Dougie is good but only as NN to Dougal/Dougald. #11Posted 24 February 2013 - 04:41 PM
Not fond of Lincoln, do like Linden, Levi, or Liam.
Dougie feels very NNish, possibly for Dougal, Dugan, or Douglas. Alby - NN for Albus, Albin, or Albert? I like Alastair/Alaric/Alan/Alasdair as well. 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Men's Snake River™ Water Short 3.8 5 67 67
Great Shorts Love these. Good materials and quality. Nice fit and useful pockets. September 14, 2012
I Love the Shorts and Shirts. I am a Professional SCUBA Diver. Use them every Day I am a Professional SCUBA Diver so I use them every Day. I live on a small Island called St. Thomas. The shorts are made for me. If I designed a pare of short for every day Island ware they would be like this pair. The only thing I would change is to make them in more colors. I have 5 pairs but need to replace some of the lighter colors so please make some white, bone, light browns, and so on. I have been using then for about seven years and still have my first pair, but the elastic is starting to give out. In the water, on the boats, and out to dinner they ROCK. Thy them and you will fall in Love.I have 6 of the light weight Fishing Shirts, see the photos!! August 25, 2012
Can't swim in them! OMG! I absolutely loved these shorts that I bought several years ago...LOVED them. But I ordered some of these "New and Improved" models and they are USELESS to me. They not only got rid of the draw-string, but also made the belt out of elastic...making it have NO WAY OF KEEPING THE SHORTS ON ME WHEN I SWIM!! My older shorts had a belt made of A BELT which could keep the shorts on me in the surf and rushing water, and when I was in some really rough water I used the draw-string as well to make sure the shorts stayed on. Now they just slip right off my waist and run on down the river without me. Nice job, Columbia. <---That's sarcasm. Can you PLEASE stop "improving" these shorts and bring back the older ones that actually functioned? Please?! You must have a draw-string or an actual belt or SOME WAY OF SECURING THEM TO MY BODY IF I AM GOING TO SWIM IN SOMETHING OTHER THAN A POOL!! JEEZ!! August 13, 2012
Great Water Shorts or Travel Shorts SR Water Shorts are light weight, made well, and have many pockets several with zippers. They are great to travel in (Air, Rail, Boat, & Car), as well as use on the beach. I also go to ball games in them. I can keep up with all my stuff without losing anything. I have 6 pair. August 9, 2012
Excellent Summer Shorts Casual wear and golfing! July 15, 2012
Clasp is Backwards The clasp holding the waistband was installed backwards so when trying to pull the waistband tight it will not stay tight. July 6, 2012
Great Shorts for many uses Light weight, dry quick and have plenty of pockets to put anything you need to bring with you. June 12, 2012
Zippered Fly Absolutly great shorts , only improvement i would recommend would be to put in a zippered fly but still keep the liner. June 12, 2012
Great "Shorts" I use these shorts for golf, not swimming. They are really super.Like all the pockets and the lining. Good looking and I stay cool on the golf course. I give them an A+ for my needs. May 24, 2012
best shorts ever these shorts are the greatest. Please make more and need more colors. thank you April 30, 2012
mens snake river shorts my husband loves these shorts mostly for the mesh liner.please, more colors. we've been waiting for tan!living in Lake Havasu, he wears these daily. April 11, 2012
No bad for work Good, because quick drying. Only thing bad is the belt.... Flimy looks like will fall apart fast... Fit was good, material is comfortable, breathable..Would buy again. April 10, 2012
Great product As usual, Colombia's shorts are top quality. There is a difference in fabric from the shorts we ordered last year however. This year they are of a thinner fabric than last year. So for some sports, that would be great. The price is also less than last year, so there's some savings there. It would be awesome, awesome, awesome to have a choice in the fabric weight. April 3, 2012
Husbands favorite swim shorts The product is fantastic for those who like light weight swim shorts. They dry quickly and are most comfy. The cargo pockets are the selling feature for my husband since he carries many items. He has bought the columbia cargo shorts many years ago and has been using them since. January 28, 2012
Major Discrepancy These shorts have a faulty belt that is frail, streatchable, and cheap rather than the continous strong web belt of previous similar Columbia water type shorts. The shorts have web material at the front near the buckle but an inferior weak white elastic band in the interior shorts belt area. Not suitable for any rugged outdoor or water borne activity. Mine were purchased for gym wear as were previous models which wore like iron. Whoever made the decision to put a cheap white elastic rubber like belt on these otherwise great shorts needs a refresher course on consumer satisfaction. January 4, 2012
Definately not for waterskiing or diving! The belt is worthless since doesn't go all the way around and thus just stretches out the weak elastic waistband. There is no draw string either. There aren't even any belt loops, thus you can't even put on another belt to secure the waist. Therefore, if you waterski in these you'll likely be naked on a head-first fall. Definately don't try the high dive at the pool!The pockets are decently sized, but again, without anything but a very weak elastic waistband, I can't put more than a car key and wallet in them before they start to slide down my hips.The picture of the Navy Blue color is misleading. It has the same awful white stitching as the picture of the black color has. I suppose this is a matter of taste, but everyone I've shown them to hates the stitching that stands out.In summary,1) the "belt" is a non-functional decoration and there is no way to secure the waist for active use or carrying anything of significant weight in the pockets.2) The blue shorts photo is misleading: it has the ugly white stitching like the black shorts. December 31, 2011
snake river water shorts :-) ... a great fitting and durable pair of all-purpose casual shorts; just needs a few more color options :-) December 23, 2011
Snake river water short Since we were replacing a pair just like this I thought they would be the same but they were about 6" bigger in the waist then the other pair we were replacing. Very disappointed that I had to redo the elastic so they would fit. December 5, 2011
Best shorts ever! These are my favorite shorts that I own. I wear them all the time. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable. I got the 9" and they are plenty long for me (5'11"). I have four pairs of them and I have recommended them to all my buddies. November 24, 2011
disappointed not same material used in past November 22, 2011
Waist is sized way too big I have an older pair of Columbia river shorts and love them. I ordered these hoping for the same success. However, the waist was way too big for the size medium that I ordered... I would guess closer to an XL. I will return the shorts. November 18, 2011
just ok typical pair of nylon short, mesh lining and pockets, self-belted. VERY casual, good for rafting or similar. November 16, 2011
Name Says It All The name of these shorts says it all, Snake River "Water Short." These shorts have become my go to wet wading shorts or drift boat shorts. Pockets are great for small accessories while fishing or while hanging out around town. Highly recommended. October 29, 2011
WATER SHORTS I USE THEM FOR CASUAL WEAR. I OWN ALL COLORS.THEY HOLD THEIR COLOR. I USE THEM FOR SWIM CLASS.THEY LAST FOR YEARS. October 29, 2011
Men's Snake River shorts These shorts run true to size and are amazing for any outdoor/water activity. The shorts dry extreme fast as well. October 26, 2011
Buy it at the Store I thought these shorts ran VERY LARGE for the advertised size. I also thought I was getting a grey from the advertised picture and color name . . turned out to be a putty color . . Buy this model at the store where you can see it and try it on. Otherwise, neat shorts. October 10, 2011
Great shorts I wear these shorts for just about everything. I wear them to work long days on the boat or in the water or at the office. They look nice enough to go eat at a restaurant, and are flexible enough to ride a bike or go running. They dry super fast and are my go-to short for basically everything. They fit great too.The only complaint I have is that the little belt thing that cinches the waist became disconnected (my fault i think) and has drawn back into the short, and I can't figure out how to fish the belt out of the shorts to make it work again. Other than that, I love these shorts. October 9, 2011
as always = good stuff...... title says it all, I have always been happy with everything I have gotten from Columbia......my only disappointment with these shorts is in the photos of the product on-line the blue pair (which I got) did not show as having white stitching as the black pair shows = which is the reason I did get the blue pair --- in reality the blue pair does have white stitching, however, I did decide to keep the shorts anyway.......on fit = sizing is accurate, however, they are a little longer than stated....... October 7, 2011
snake river water shorts very comfortable nice looking enough to pair with casual short sleeve shirt for dinners on the deck September 30, 2011
Perfect........for me! Very happy with my purchase, great quality and great price. September 16, 2011
mesh pockets These shorts have mesch pockets, so wherever you put your keys, they will break. Then you have to throw, them out. September 14, 2011
I've worn them for years Glad they carry these; that is all I wear and LOVE them. September 4, 2011
mens snake river water shorts recently purchased twqo pairs online and couldnt be happier! great fit, mesh support system, zipper pockets so keys wont fallout and they dry in minutes on a warm day. August 22, 2011
Good shorts, not quite as versatile as previous This is the third pair of this model of shorts I have owned. I bought the first pair nearly 10 years ago. I have used these shorts for trail running, and to throw over bike shorts when riding. The fit of the current shorts is good. My only complaint with the current version is that the cargo pockets do not appear as durably constructed as previous models. The backside/inside of the pocket is mesh, not nylon. Also, only one of the pockets has a zipper, while the other has a velcro closure.These are nice, good looking shorts, but I don't know if I'd be as comfortable sticking something in cargo pockets I didn't want to lose. August 16, 2011
Perfect Shorts for the nice casual look Great shorts and I wear them all the time because I'm in California and not Alaska. Water drys very fast, light weight, comfortable, good pockets, "very nice looking"; I assume they meant the shorts and not my 60 year old legs. Highly recommended! August 15, 2011
Durable water shorts Comfortable lots of pockets dry out quick when wet August 13, 2011
The swim trunks rock! I love the fit and comfort of these swim trunks. August 10, 2011
Have worn for years. I have pairs that I have used for years, and am now replacing. The styling and pockets have changed, but they continue to be great shorts for multiple purposes. My most recent purchase was of 4 pair, all the same size. Even though tagged the same, each fit differently- one pair was so large they had to be returned. July 30, 2011
Best shorts EVER! The most comfortable and lightweight shorts I have ever had. Great when fishing, hiking, swimming, or just working around the house. Love the zip pockets. July 27, 2011
Snake River water shorts Great design, plenty of pockets for wallet,keys,money and cell phone then empty your pockets and jump into the water. I have a pair from about 3 years ago and that's why I bought some more. However,they still need a draw string and I was disappointed that there wasn't one. July 27, 2011
Comfortable for all day wear These are my favorite shorts. I wear them around the house, out for casual dining, when I go kayaking, etc. They are lightweight and are the perfect shorts to wear for all kinds of activities. They are also quick drying, which makes them great for sports activities like kayaking. July 25, 2011
waist band straps. Love the way the shorts fit, dry and breath thruout the day. The problem is the waist band strap, it's stitched to the short in such a way that when you pull it to tighten it it rips from the short. My suggestion would be a drawstring?Other than that I think it's a good product. July 11, 2011
Great Shorts All round sports shorts that look good enought for casual wear. July 9, 2011
Great short They run a little bigger than what is sized but great for me. Will order other colors July 7, 2011
Reduced performance Comparing this recent purchase to shorts i have had for a long time:1. The velcro pocket use to have two patches; now there is only one; not as secure; things fall out2. The zipper pocket use to come with a pull string attached to zipper; now you do not get pull string.3. Fit and comfort are still great. June 25, 2011
Good Shorts Probably the most comfortble go to shorts I have. I bought three to replace the two, well one that I finally thrashed after s-e-v-e-n years of abuse. The other is still hanging in there! When I'm off work I lie simple, comfortable, and functional. These are it. I was tried of looking for these shorts and finally had the brain storm to go online. Glad I did! I like the secure pockets for keys, wallet, cell phone, and for my dry dive holder for my credit card, i.d., keys when I'm at the beach swimming or snorkeling. The dry time is real fast too. June 24, 2011
Not a bad pair of shorts These short are pretty nice. When I first wore them, the mesh Briefs inside are very uncomfortable, so I took a knife to the and solved to problem by removing them. Also the belt is a little short. When I tightened mine, it came out about 8 inches and then it was just an elastic strip. I still like these shorts, now that I have modified them June 23, 2011
Sizing is a little off I like the style and feel of the product but the fit was not ideal. I ordered the size I needed based off my measurements but it was too big. The belt is a built in waist elastic belt. I didn't like this either. Couldn't be pulled tight enough for a snug fit. June 15, 2011
PLEASE!!!! Go back to Cascade Creek I have at least a dozen of the Cascade Creek that I have had for years and literally wear them everyday. The quality is great and they have lasted a long time, however nothing lasts forever.The Snake River short looks the same but it all ends there. Nothing compares...poor quality, pockets not deep enough, material cheap,thin, and clingy.I have worn Columbia products for years including the omni dry shirts. Thank goodness those haven't changed.I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but one thing is for sure, I won't buy any more of the Snake River shorts. I will just hope that you will return to the Cascade Creek shorts and the high quality product for which you are famous.Believe me from the reviews I have read I am not alone in my assessment.Surely you don't want to continue losing long time loyal customers. May 26, 2011
Not as good as older version! Your version sold in 2008 was so great that it is hard to beat and that may be my problem. Thease are substandard in so many ways from no draw string, bad elastic band, poor pockets, wrinkles badly, and poor dye! But, you are the only provider of this type shorts, so I am sticking with Columbia and hoping for some return to quality shorts you once provided! April 7, 2011

Nonin Medical Releases Special Report on Competitive Advantages of Using Quality Pulse Oximeters at Medtrade 2012
Report Highlights How Pulse Oximeter Performance Can Affect Results, Revenue and Reputation for Durable Medical Equipment Providers
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nonin Medical, Inc., the inventor of finger pulse oximeters and a leader in noninvasive medical monitoring, today released a Pulse Oximetry Special Report for durable medical equipment (DME) providers at Booth #953 at Medtrade 2012 in Atlanta. Medtrade is the largest home medical equipment tradeshow in the United States.
The report, "Too Good to be True? Three Ways Cheap Pulse Oximeters May be Short-changing Your Patients and Profits," is designed to help DME home respiratory monitoring providers understand that not all pulse oximeters perform alike, quality does matter, and reliable product performance can provide a competitive advantage. The results of the report are based on clinical data findings, customer feedback and competitive comparison testing collected by Nonin Medical over 26 years.
"With the influx of imported pulse oximeters into the homecare market, and the belief that all pulse oximeters perform alike, it's reasonable for DME providers to think that they are getting the best value from cheap or free oximeters," said Bill Wood, Homecare Key Accounts Manager, Nonin Medical. "However, our pulse oximeter customers have found that when they have opted for these types of oximeters, in many cases, they often ended up paying a hidden price in terms of missed revenue opportunities, lost productivity, continuous inventory replacement, and patient dissatisfaction due to broken or malfunctioning pulse oximeters.
"This hidden price can seriously erode a DME's bottom line and affect future revenues, not to mention compromise patient safety and outcomes," Wood said. The answer, he added, lies in understanding product performance differences and knowing what to look for in pulse oximeters for home use — tips outlined in Nonin's DME Pulse Oximetry Special Report.
"Nonin's Special Report provides a comprehensive checklist and clinical resources that DMEs can use to evaluate pulse oximeters objectively before purchasing," Wood said. "It may help DMEs avoid being penny wise and pound foolish in this cost-sensitive environment," he said.
In addition to obtaining their free DME Pulse Oximetry Special Report, Medtrade 2012 attendees can see and try Nonin's pulse oximeters, capnographs and sensors at Booth #953 at the Georgia World Congress Center, Wed., Oct. 17, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Thurs., Oct. 18th, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Nonin Medical's pulse oximeters, sensors and capnographs are U.S.-market-approved prescription medical devices that provide industry-leading accuracy, consistency and reliability in the most challenging conditions. Nonin oximeters are made of hazardous-free material in the United States. In addition, accuracy and performance claims for Nonin's pulse oximeters are supported by published peer-reviewed, clinical studies.
For more information and to obtain a copy of Nonin's DME Pulse Oximetry Special Report, Medtrade attendees can visit booth #953. Or they can download a copy of the report at nonin.com/homecare, under "DME Special Report."

A wary and weary Alan Colmes stopped by America Live this afternoon to weigh in on (sigh) whether or not First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" fitness and health program is responsible for a rise in pedestrian deaths, essentially transforming quiet suburban streets into veritable death channels… and to act as a fashion critic.
Colmes opined that the recent rise in Barack Obama's ratings to around 53 percent may have prompted Obama's critics to zero in on the First Lady – and Obama's young daughters – instead.
Host Megyn Kelly and Colmes also discussed whether President and Ms. Obama's decision to wear red, often associated with communism, to dinner with Chinese Premier Hu Jintao was offensive or inappropriate. Kelly didn't think so, and even began laughing when she mentioned criticism over Sasha Obama's red pants. She also pointed out that Laura Bush and President George W. Bush chose to wear red when meeting Hu. Colmes, for one, thought Ms. Obama's Alexander McQueen dress was, in a word, "kickin.'" And, besides, he pointed out, red signifies joy and luck in Chinese culture.

Victor Cruz / Cruz tries to focus on Tampa
Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz was excused from practice Friday to attend his grandmother's funeral, but is expected to be ready for the team's Week 2 matchup against Tampa Bay. Cruz will be looking to put a poor performance in the season-opening loss to Dallas behind him against the Buccaneers' favorable pass defense. The Panthers managed 303 passing yards against Tampa Bay in Week 1, which included standout performances from Steve Smith (seven catches for 106 yards) and Brandon LaFell (three catches for 65 yards and a touchdown).

UMass President Announces Actions To Manage State Budget Reduction, Pledges To Protect The Excellence Of The University's Academic Programs BOSTON- In response to Governor Patrick's announcement of 9C cuts, University of Massachusetts President Jack M. Wilson today announced actions that the University is taking to manage the reduction in its operating budget appropriation from the state. "The administration's announcement of 9C budget reductions present significant challenges to the "The Trustees are confident that President Wilson and the Chancellors will work hard to maintain the positive momentum that they have achieved for the The Assuming there are no additional 9C cuts, the University will not request mid-year fee increases, nor will it make cuts to student financial aid, which President Wilson, the Chancellors and the Trustees have targeted as an area for strategic investment. Other actions are being considered and will be discussed and evaluated with the Chancellors and Board of Trustees over the coming weeks and months as the full budget picture emerges and the University is able to analyze the impact of the base budget reductions to the next fiscal year's budget. "With much effort, the University can manage through this reduction in revenue without a fee increase at this time," President Wilson said. "We may not have the same flexibility in the future if we are to maintain our strong commitment to student financial aid and other strategic priorities."

How we change what others think, feel, believe and do |
Using Comparatives and Superlatives Techniques > Use of language > Parts of speech > Using adjectives > Using Comparatives and Superlatives Method | Example | Discussion | See also MethodUse comparatives (e.g. 'higher') to highlight the differences between things. Use positive superlatives (e.g. 'highest') to put things on a pedestal, showing they cannot be beaten. Use negative superlatives (e.g. 'worst') for the reverse effect, denouncing something as absolutely undesirable. You often do not need to include what is compared against, leaving it to common sense or the general imagination. ExampleThis is a bigger car. (comparative) This is the biggest car we have. (superlatives) That is the worst possible thing you can do. (negative superlative) Our cars are simply the best. (omitted noun) DiscussionAdjectives may be used used to compare, using comparative adjectives (often ending in -er) and superlative adjectives (often ending in -est). Comparatives play to our tendency to make decisions based on comparing the item in question against a benchmark (which may be relatively positive or negative) of some kind. Note how comparisons may be used without saying what you are comparing against. Advertisers often make use of this, promoting the best, biggest, whitest, shiniest products. It sounds good and it is understood that they are talking about their competitors, but without a direct comparison, they can circumvent any litigative problems. See also |

A recent survey finds flex hours and other perks have a big impact on recruiting.
More job seekers are looking beyond wages to flexible work schedules and extra vacation days in sizing up employment offers, a recent survey shows.
While wages are still a priority, a growing number of job candidates say a comprehensive benefits package has a greater influence on their employment decisions, according to a survey of more than 1,400 CFOs by Robert Half International, a Menlo Park, Calif.-based staffing firm.
Telecommunicating and flexible work days ranked third among top job incentives, followed by signing bonuses and extra vacation days, the survey found.
"Companies that do not provide comprehensive employment packages, including competitive compensation and insurance programs, risk losing top job candidates to other opportunities," Max Messmer, the firm's CEO, said in a statement.
Correction: An earlier version of this story mistated the order of the rankings for job incentives.

In the last 13 years, 13 livestock factories, most of them dairies, have been built in our area – see map of locations. Large livestock operations that confine animals year-round are called Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). Environmentally Concerned Citizens of South Central Michigan (ECCSCM) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, organized to educate the public on the health risks and the environmental damage Confined Animal Feeding Operations have brought to our community and its watersheds. We developed this website to provide documentation on the pollution and to promote Sustainable Alternatives (buy local food & pasture-based meat--see sources). We support vanguard, responsible agriculture, farming that looks ahead to the next generations, preserves biodiversity, raises animals in a healthy environment, does no harm to its neighbors, enhances the natural assets of living communities, and protects our natural resources -- air, soils, groundwater, streams, and lakes. As family farmers and neighbors, we believe agriculture must take responsibility for its actions in rural communities. CAFOs have failed us. They have damaged our farming communities, degraded our natural resources, and polluted our watersheds. STENCH/EMISSION ALERTS, details, observations, documentation from neighbors on local CAFO air pollution, health concerns 2014 New – Milk Source CAFO violations, manure spills in Wisconsin – details from databases of Wisconsin Deparment of Natural Resources, which oversees CAFO enforcement (see full listings in WI Manure Spills 1-1-07 to 11-22-13 and WI Enforcement List, Oct 2013): Winter 2014 Newsletter
Bulletin: International Joint Commission - Lake Erie Ecosystem Priority Final Report released, Feb 27. This final report strengthens the Draft Report recommendation to ban application of manure – and commercial fertilizer – to frozen or snow-covered ground. See p. 9, Recommendation #10: ECCSCM supports the prohibition of winter application of manure – in Michigan's CAFO permit (undergoing revision), in the Michigan Agricultural Environment Assurance Program (MAEAP) Standards, and in Michigan's Generally Accepted Agricultural Management Practices (GAAMPs). In late 2013, 2 important reports from the International Joint Commission and the Ohio Lake Erie Phosphorus Task Force, multi-national, multi-agency groups studying Lake Erie's excess nutrient/toxic algae crisis, both recommended that winter application of manure be banned in Lake Erie watersheds. One of the highest risk agricultural practices, manure on snow-covered or frozen ground, an impervious surface, has nowhere to go when it rains or melts except off the field and into streams. See the IJC Lake Erie Ecosystem Priority Draft Report and the Ohio Phosphorus Task Force Final Report.

Living a Nightmare: Animal Factories in Michigan
Untreated CAFO waste is liquified with clean groundwater – instantly polluted – then pumped to cesspits or holding "lagoons" until it is pumped again and injected or sprayed onto fields around Hudson (pop. 2500). Some manure makes good fertilizer. But too much manure, especially the liquid manure from CAFOs, is a major pollutant of soils and waterways. Animal manure and and animal carcasses contain many pathogens (disease-causing organisms such as Cryptosporidium, E. coli bacteria, Listeria – see a comprehensive list of pathogens and symptoms posted by the Environmental Protection Agency). These pathogens can threaten human health, other livestock, aquatic life, and wildlife when introduced into the environment. When liquid manure enters streams or lakes, it is called a discharge. Discharges that violate Michigan's water quality standards are illegal. CAFOs in this area, all of them, have discharged illegally. Since 2000, there have been 1,101 violations and discharges, many of them multiple-day violations, confirmed by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in the Hudson area (see violations list). A 100% failure rate in pollution prevention.
On the Local Pollution pages,
look at what we see around here every day -- waste-polluted water, silage
leachate runoff, drainage tile discharges, the destruction of vegetation
along streams, violations of manure management practices. Too bad the

The 1540 Matrix
Since its adoption in early 2005, the 1540 Matrix has functioned as the primary method used by the 1540 Committee to organize information about implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1540 by Member States. A matrix for each UN Member State has been prepared; regularly matrices are updated and approved by the Committee. The information in the matrices originates primarily from national reports provided by States to the 1540 Committee and is complemented by official government information, including that made available to intergovernmental organizations.
The 1540 Committee uses the matrices as a reference tool to examine the status of implementation of Security Council Resolution 1540 and in its dialogue with States as a tool to identify lacunae existing at national level and facilitate technical assistance.
The matrix has fields representing the requirements of the resolution along side which are the measures that States have taken in respect of these requirements. The first worksheet covers measures that indicate some aspect of implementation of Operative Paragraph 1 and some matters from Operative Paragraphs 5, 6, 8 (a‐c), and 10. The next three worksheets, each representing the biological, chemical and nuclear areas address implementation of Operative Paragraph 2 on legislation and enforcement of prohibited activities related to nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and their means of delivery. Three more worksheets concern implementation of Operative Paragraph 3 (a‐b) on accounting for, securing and physically protecting weapon- related materials, three more on Operative Paragraph 3 (c‐d) on border security and export controls, then a final worksheet on Operative Paragraphs 6‐8 (d) related to control lists, assistance, and information sharing.
The 1540 Committee reviews and approves each matrix. In each of the 382 fields in the matrix, the 1540 Committee denotes one of three possible responses. An "X" in any data field signifies only that the reporting State asserts that it has taken relevant measures or that the 1540 Committee has found specific references to the applicable legal basis or executive measures as evidence of such steps. A "?" in any data field signifies that although the national report or another source of data refers to legislation or other evidence that the State has taken a measure, the details in the references provided raise questions of pertinence or that the information suggests that the State has taken action but a copy of the legislation has not yet been located or available for consultation. Finally, a blank in any data field signifies that the State has provided no information or the 1540 Committee has not established information to enable the entry of an "X" or a "?" against that particular data field. In interpreting the 1540 Matrix, all parties must understand that an "X" does not indicate that the measure or measures taken fully implement an obligation under resolution 1540. It only indicates that the 1540 Committee and its experts have found evidence that the State has taken a measure or measures relevant to a particular field.
More information on this topic can be found in the background paper prepared by the group of experts for the 2009 Comprehensive Review of resolution 1540, entitled "Assess the existing templates, particularly the 1540 Committee matrix, in light of the information gathered for the 2006 and 2008 reports".

Why We Recommend These Sites
The places that we have listed above are the best options for Canadians that want to be able to enjoy a range of gambling activities in one place. They are excellent all around gambling websites and you can do everything you could possibly want to do at most of them - whether that is betting on sports, or playing casino, poker or bingo games. We have recommended these sites because they meet our very high standards and stand out from the competition as having a lot to offer customers.
In order to determine which places get selected for our recommendation, we first shortlist those that we are confident provide a safe online gambling experience. Most gambling sites are safe enough really, but unfortunately there are a few out there that we don't feel can be completely trusted. We eliminate those and then compare the reputable sites to see which ones perform the best in a number of key areas.
There are some things that we feel it is essential for sites to get right, and it is these that we look closely at when compiling our rankings. For example, we believe that customers should have plenty of choice about how to deposit funds into their account so we look at the range of different banking options available. We also believe that customers should be able to get their winnings within a reasonable timeframe, so we look at how quickly withdrawals are processed.
We know that bonuses and rewards are really important to a lot of online gamblers, as they can provide a significant amount of extra value and help to increase the bankroll. As such we make sure we compare what sites are offering in this respect when compiling our rankings. We don't simply look for the biggest bonus or the most generous rewards though, we also look at how easy they are to earn and the relevant terms and conditions too.
Essentially our rankings are there to reflect the overall user experience, so really anything that affects this is taken into consideration. The design of the website, how easy the software is to use, and the quality of the customer service are just a few more examples. There are a whole host of factors that we look at and, while some of these are more important than others, everything is taken into account to some degree when we decide which sites we should recommend.
Specialized Gambling Sites
We earlier referred to the fact that the sites listed on this page are the best all around gambling sites for Canadians, but we should also mention that there are a number of specialized sites that are of a very high quality too. The all in one sites are excellent if you partake in several different forms of gambling, but if you tend to stick to just one specific form then using a specialized site might be better for you. We have also compiled rankings for the best of these, which you can find on the following pages.
Online Gambling and Canadian Law
As is the case in so many parts of the world, the laws surrounding online gambling in Canada are not really entirely clear. Our interpretation is that it is not illegal for Canadians to gamble online, although there is no specific law that says it is legal either. We are not legal experts though, and we would suggest that you check your local laws yourself if you have any concerns over the legalities involved.
In our opinion you really have nothing to worry about. The fact that so many of the top gambling sites welcome customers from Canada is surely a good indication, and to the best of our knowledge no Canadian citizen has ever been in legal trouble because of online gambling. If you stick to using reputable sites, such as the ones that we recommend here, then you should be just fine.

Continuing our year-long diary of Jim Clark's epic 1963 season. When we last reported, Jim had flown straight to Indianapolis from Mexico in order to test the new four-cam Ford V8 Lotus 29B. Read more…
It was the 1960s…but the schedules – and the demands – were no less than today's.
Immediately after winning the Mexican Grand Prix, Jim Clark, Dan Gurney and Colin Chapman flew to Indianapolis via Chicago. From the warmth of the Gulf to the chill of the mid-west. From a 1.5 litre Coventry Climax-engined Lotus 25 (or, in Dan's case, Brabham BT7) to the new four-cam Indy Lotus 29-Ford. To an empty, echo-ey Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the bitter winter winds were already whistling around corners in Gasoline Alley. To a full-on engine and tyre test in company with the Ford top brass and engineers from Goodyear, Firestone and Dunlop. Read more…
Thanks to David Friedman Collection and The Henry Ford (www.henryford.org) I am delighted to be able to publish an additional collection of images from the historic 1963 Mexican Grand Prix in Mexico City. Many of these are being shown for the first time; and, collectively, I think they paint an almost ethereal picture of that country's first World Championship Grand Prix: there was the ever-present army. There was the daunting Peraltada corner, which in 1962 had taken the life of Ricardo Rodriguez. There was Pedro, Ricardo's elder brother, having his second F1 race in a third works Lotus 25-Climax. There was the rain on Saturday. And, on Sunday, after the arduous, two-hour, nine-minute race, there were the laughs in victory circle. Jim Clark, the new World Champion, had won his sixth Grand Prix of the season. I'm delighted, in addition, to show here a little-seen Solana family 35mm film shot over the weekend of the 1963 Mexican GP. Moises Solana, who had practised but not raced a Bowmaker Cooper in Mexico in 1962, had no worries about racing the following year with Number 13 on his Centro Sud BRM. Here we see it being loaded onto the Solana trailer behind a Chrysler Valiant and then in action at the circuit. This film includes lots of rare images from the weekend, including shots of Jim and the Lotus 25s, so I'd also like to say a very big thankyou to Cesar Galindo and the Solana family for the sights and the memories.
Captions, from top: wide-angle view of the banked hairpin; Saturday scene in the rain, looking away from the Peraltada towards the modern pit/garage complex; Tony Maggs and Richie Ginther within the Peraltada, showing new, two-tier outer Armco and half-tyres on the inside; the army stand guard over the Team Lotus entries prior to first practice; Team Lotus drivers Pedro Rodriguez, Jim Clark and Trevor Taylor prepare for that first practice session; Jim and Colin Chapman confer with the now-retired Stirling Moss while a dusky Mexican fan feigns disinterest; another view of the drivers' briefing shown in the recent race report post ("Jim Clark in Mexico: 66 per cent at 7,000ft"): a flash convertible serves as a useful dias as, from foreground, anti-clockwise, Chris Amon, Trevor Taylor (in natty shirt), Giancarlo Baghetti, Tony Maggs (in ski jumper), Hap Sharp, Masten Gregory, Jim Hall, Pedro, Count Godin de Beaufort (in jacket and tie), Jim, Moises Solana, Dan Gurney, Jo Siffert, Jo Bonnier, Graham Hill, Rob Walker, Richie Ginther and Bruce McLaren listen in; Cedric Selzer and Jim Endruweit push Jim's 25 onto the starting grid whilst BRM's Chief Mechanic, Cyril Atkins, sits comfortably on the right front Dunlop of Graham Hill's car; Michael Tee (left), father of LAT's Stephen Tee, shares a pre-drivers' parade joke with (from left), Jim, John Surtees, Godin de Beaufort and Colin Chapman; a lovely, low-line shot of Jim in the 25, pushing hard through the esses.

The Team Lotus mechanics had been usefully employed at Ford's Dearborn headquarters whilst Jim was racing at Riverside and Laguna, for the development Lotus 29-Ford was now scheduled to be tested at Indianapolis on the Tuesday and Wednesday (October 29/30) after the Mexican Grand Prix. As a group, though, they all re-assembled in Mexico City on Wednesday, October 23, for the first World Championship F1 race ever to be run on the futuristic autodrome. Following the sad death of Ricardo Rodriguez in the 1962 non-championship event, the last corner (Peraltada) had been re-modelled slightly but, otherwise, the circuit remained unchanged and a definite standard-setter. Over to Jim Clark's mechanic, Cedric Selzer, for his description:
"The circuit was absolutely spectacular. The most amazing thing, so far as we were concerned, was that the garages were built into the back of the pits. Electricity, water and compressed air were laid on – and we had a work bench, too!"
The F1 cars all remained at The Glen for a week before being trucked across to Mexico on four huge semis – open-top semis! "As if this was not bad enough," recalls Cedric, "the cars had been chained through the suspension wishbones. When they ran out of chain, they had then used bailing wire. This meant that some of the wishbones had to be changed as they were bent and no longer serviceable. Where the chrome plating had come off there was not a lot we could do about it. It was part of Team Lotus policy to keep the cars in Concours condition so we then spent a whole day just making the cars look the part. Then we set about making them reliable and quick…
"Coventry Climax and Lucas had designed a metering unit to compensate for Mexico's 7,000ft altitude. This was not a five minute adjustment job because the metering unit was in the middle of the engine vee, under the throttle slides. It was impossible to get your hand in there so, being the smallest of the mechanics, I was required to remove the inlet trumpets and find my way through. Even so, the engines wouldn't run very well during first practice. We then discovered a Vernier adjustment on the back of the revised metering unit. It was a simple question of pushing in a pin and rotating a little wheel."
Bruce McLaren described the power loss in his Autosport column the week after the race: "The loss of power was generally accepted to be about 25 per cent. You gradually became accustomed to this during the practice sessions but it was the start of the race that really showed up the difference. I let out the clutch on my Cooper with the rev-counter showing the usual 7,000rpm and the engine nearly stalled, obliging me to slip the clutch a couple of times. Even so, I managed to pass three cars off the line (the two BRMs and Dan Gurney's Brabham)!"
Jim received a bit of fright early on Friday's four-hour practice session when a dog ran out in front of him. He narrowly avoided the stray but it would be a portent of the chaos that would typify the Mexican GP for several years thereafter. There were track invasions as the decade wore on; and, as late as 1991, I was stopped by the local police en route to the circuit for no obvious reason than that they wanted a couple of $100 bills; nor will anyone who was at that race forget Anthony Marsh's hotel room in Mexico City being robbed in the dead of night…by one of the hotel security guards. Such was the Mexican GP. I guess it was all summed-up by the local Automobile Club being based in, um, a former house of disrepute. Everyone loved racing in Mexico…and will again love racing in Mexico…but you had to be ready for what you knew it was going to throw at you.
Practice was inconclusive – and very hard work for Team Lotus. Pedro Rodriguez' carburettor engine had blown at The Glen – and did so again in Mexico: a tiny piece of debris had remained lodged near the timing chain. Trevor Taylor's Colotti-gearbox 25 stopped with a broken first gear – and Jim stopped practice early when his ZF car developed its familiar tendency to jump out of gear. Even so – and partly because Saturday practice was rained-off – Jim started from the pole. Such was his ability to put together The Quick Lap. The Team Lotus boys left the circuit at 4:00am on Sunday morning. "Not bad, if I do say so myself," says Selzer, who typically (but totally falsely) blamed himself for the ongoing problems with Pedro's engine. "The mechanics got down to the job of fixing Pedro's car as though a World Championship depended on it," remembers Jim Clark. "It was just like the old days. The boys managed to get some Reynolds bicycle chanin from a Mexico City cycle shop and then started to rebuild the engine."
In his autobiography, Jim Clark, Cedric remembers arriving back at his hotel to find Phil Hill walking about in the gardens. "'What are you doing?' I asked. 'You should be in bed. You're racing in under 12 hours.' Phil replied that he couldn't sleep and had decided to take a walk. I understood later that this was fairly common practice for him. For our part, we were back in the garages at 8.00am…"
The Mexicans put together an amazing programme on race day. On Sunday morning none other than "Fireball" Roberts won an exhibition stock car race; and then, to much fanfare, the F1 drivers were introduced to the Mexican President, Adolfo López Mateos. Jim anticipated a decidedly early flag-drop, allowed for the power loss, seized an immediate lead…and was never headed, despite a problem with fuel starvation late in the race. (As he would at the British GP in two year's time, Jim magically adapted his driving to absorb the troughs of the engine. Over the long, 2hr 10min race, and despite that fuel problem, his lap time average was never further than two seconds away from his fastest lap. Thus, with style, Jim won his sixth GP of the year.
At a time when much is made of Sebastian Vettel's amazing run this year, it's worth recording that Jim in Mexico became the first driver since Alberto Ascari (1952) to win six races in a season and that his scoring rate for 1963 at this point was a stunning 66 per cent. Seb's, post-India, is currently 55 per cent.
Captions (from top): Although he led the Mexican GP from start to finish, it was by no means an easy weekend for Jim Clark and Team Lotus. Gearbox problems delayed him in practice and in the closing stages of the race the Lotus 25 developed a fuel vaporisation issue. Here, very relieved, he receives the plaudits; Jim's 25 looked a little spare in Mexico, lacking, as it did, the plastic Lotus badge normally mounted in the centre of the red-rimmed steering wheel; with Pedro Rodriguez on his right and Jo Siffert just behind him and to the left, Jim listens attentively to the drivers' briefing. Dan Gurney stands in the background and Jo Bonnier to Jim's left; Jim accelerates out of the Esses towards the Peraltada. Note the small deflector added to the front of the windscreen for this race ; below – one of the sadest photographs I know. As we remember 50 years since the first World Championship Mexican GP, here's Ricardo Rodriguez at the non-championship 1962 race the year before, just prior to his fatal accident. Unfamiliar in Everoak space-type helmet, Ricardo kisses the hand of his father before setting out for another practice run with Rob Walker's Lotus 24-Climax. His youngest brother, Alejandro (who died recently), looks on. Soon afterwards, the right-rear suspension broke on the Lotus, plunging Ricardo head-on into the Armco. Ricardo and Pedro were Mexican motor racing, and their world stood still when news of the tragedy broke. Pedro, just as gallant, just as brilliant, died in a minor sports car race in 1971. As we look forward to Mexico's return to the F1 calendar in 2014, we'll always remember los hermanos Rodriguez Images: LAT Photographic, Diego Merino/Luc Ghys


text: In August I attended the funeral for Kevin Vance. Kevin was a local actor and, more important, a genuinely sincere individual. No matter how many years would pass between our encounters, Kevin would always say hello with a personal warmth that I rarely encounter. We both attended the University of Minnesota during the mid-1990s and worked on a series of plays together while pursuing our undergraduate degrees. An unexpected and tragic death like Kevin's is never easy to articulate in words, but I often remember something Kevin said to me while we labored on a lukewarm production of The Crucible at the U of M. We were both sitting backstage on a bench and Kevin leaned over and said, "You know, it could be worse." "Like how?" I asked. "I don't know, but I'm sure it could be somehow." Always the optimist, even when Arthur Miller plays could conceivably not be worse, Kevin let few things drag him down to the level of cynicism. Kevin Vance will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by many people in the Twin Cities. Mitakuye Owasin, Kevin.

ScoreKeeper Is So Angry He's Throwing Away Ten Autographed CDs of DRIVE ANGRY 3D!!
Greetings! ScoreKeeper here behind the wheel of my raincoat-yellow 1988 Ford Festiva and I'm angry as all hell! See? I'm shaking my fist outside the window. I'm so angry I may even grimace! Argh!!
Before I completely lose control over my mental faculties and discharge a verbal obscenity, let me tell you about the latest CD giveaway I've got brewing for Ain't It Cool soundtrack fans. Maybe it'll cheer me up.
(I'm shaking my fist even higher now!)
I've got ten, that's right ten -- not five, or seven, or nine, or two -- but ten CD soundtracks of Michael Wandmacher's filthy score to DRIVE ANGRY 3D (2011). I was so angry at Michael for composing a grungy, dirty, ass-kicking, car-screeching, hell-raising, gut-wrenching-explosive score that I made him give us ten copies AND he had to autograph every one them AND he had to force director Patrick Lussier to sign them too! Ya, how do you like them apples?
Michael was so intimidated by my fierce rage and fist shaking that he's throwing in a very rare treat for one of the lucky winners. Of the ten winners that receive CDs, I'll randomly select a "grand prize" winner who will be receiving a T-shirt that Michael traditionally provides as a gift for the various members of the production team. The shirt has a waveform graphic on it that's a compilation of the entire score from beginning to end. Nobody but the folks working on the film has a T-shirt like this! Just you and the DRIVE ANGRY 3D filmmakers.
Wait!...What the hell?...Not even me?? God dammit!
Okay, enough of this tomfoolery. So what do you have to do?
Drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com using the subject: DON'T DRIVE ANGRY, LISTEN TO IT! and include your name, mailing address, a valid email address, and your favorite cinematic car chase sequence of all time. It's also required that when you send the email you shake your fist in the air and grimace. If you don't you'll be disqualified.
After all the entries are received, I'll randomly select ten lucky winners who will be receiving a brand new soundtrack CD of DRIVE ANGRY 3D autographed by composer Michael Wandmacher and director Patrick Lussier. Dag nabbit, that's cool!
Just think of how angry you'll be if you don't enter RIGHT NOW!!
The deadline for submission is Tuesday, March 8th, at 11:59pm EST. Only one entry per person dammit. International entries will be accepted...duh! Duplicates will be trashed like an un-recycled soda can.
For more information including audio samples, check out Amazon.com.
Now leave me alone. I've got more fist-shakin' to do!
If you're on Twitter look me up...

Hyperbole much?
F me.
This is a CD you don't want in your Prius.
Even as I was expecting a drive-in B movie good time, I thought midway through, are they making this shit up as they went along? Totally craptacular, makes Season Of The Witch look like Shakespeare, I'm sure.
Was a good time at the theater. Need a hit of these movies from time to time. On top of that I really enjoyed the soundtrack. Hmm so many car chases to ponder about.
I could give a rat fuck about this movie. I am just an angry person in general.
Live a little, it was fun for what it was.

Fave car chase sequence? Damn, hard to pick just one...
by WriteForTheEdit
...Road Warrior finale? Bullitt chase? Ronin chases? Terminator 2 LA River truck chase? Terminator 3 multi-vehicle destructo-chase? Most of the original Gone In Sixty Seconds? (Fuck the remake up its ass.) Most of The Junkman?
...but, strangely, the more I think about it, the more I begin to think I really liked it and I want to see it again. Also, regarding car chases, I'm big on Friedkin. Notably, "To Live and Die in L.A." and "The French Connection."
...keep them as far as I am concerned.
Have any of the winners of the Bloom County contest here on AICN gotten their prizes yet? I won the Grand prize and haven't seen it yet. Hoping it's just delayed. Please let me know. Thanks!

Robbie Grabarz: Won high jump bronze
Briton Robbie Grabarz leapt to an Olympic bronze medal in the high jump on Tuesday night.
The European champion's height of 2.29m was well below his best - he cleared 2.36 earlier in the season - but it was still enough for a bronze.
Grabarz actually finished joint third alongside Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim and Derek Drouin of Canada after all three cleared 2.29 at their first attempt before failing at subsequent heights.
Russia's Ivan Ukhov took the gold with a best effort of 2.38 ahead of American Erik Kynard (2.33). Jesse Williams, the world champion, finished back in joint ninth.
Grabarz is one of the British team's most colourful characters, leaving a university course he cannot remember the full name of and posing naked for a gay magazine in the past.
He even lost his Lottery funding after finishing last year ranked 28th in the world and considered quitting only for some harsh words from coach Fuzz Ahmed to turn his career around.
A medal completed a remarkable season and the British star was delighted.
"If someone had said I'd get a medal here I'd had bitten their hand off," Grabarz said. "It's fantastic. I'm so happy, I'm over the moon.
"I had just been wasting too much time and I wasn't applying myself.
"At the end of the year my coach sat me down and said 'you're wasting your time and my time'. He told me to go away and sort myself out or don't come back. Here I am and I've got a medal.''
Meanwhile, Lawrence Okoye's hopes of a discus medal disappeared with a disappointing performance in his final.
The 20-year-old, who produced a throw of 65.28 metres in qualifying, could only manage a best of 61.03m to finish in 12th place.
The former rugby player, who has deferred a place at Oxford to study law to concentrate on athletics, was appearing in his first major championship in his home town.
He said: "I think I was trying a bit too hard today but it's come and gone now and I have to move on.
"I didn't anticipate coming last in the final. 'It's been a good couple of years. Obviously it's ended in failure, but I gave it my all, maybe a bit too much."
Germany's Robert Harting took gold with a best throw of 68.27m.
He celebrated in style by whipping his top off and embarking on a lap of honour draped in the German flag before leaping over the barriers set out for the 100m hurdles final.
Iran's Ehsan Hadadi took silver with 68.18m and Estonia's Gerd Kanter bronze (68.03).
The USA remain on track for a record fifth straight gold medal in women's basketball after routing Canada.
Welshman Fred Evans faced an anxious wait before finally discovering he had guaranteed a bronze medal.
South Korea, Brazil, the USA and Japan are all through to the women's volleyball semi-finals.
A week into the Games of the XXX Olympiad, Richard Moore brings us his half-way highs and lows

Zero Install is a decentralized cross-distribution software installation system. It allows software developers to publish programs directly from their own Web sites, while supporting features familiar from centralized distribution repositories such as shared libraries, automatic updates, and digital signatures. It is intended to complement, rather than replace, the operating system's package management. 0install packages never interfere with those provided by the distribution.
Dar is a shell command that makes backup of a directory tree and files. Its features include splitting archives over several files, DVD, CD, ZIP, or floppies, compression, full or differential backups, strong encryption, proper saving and restoration of hard links, extended attributes, file forks, Door inodes, and sparse files, remote backup using pipes and external commands (such as ssh), and rearrangement of the "slices" of an existing archive. It can run commands between slices, before and after saving some defined files or directories (for a proper database backup, for example), and quickly retrieve individual files from differential and full backups. Several external GUIs exist as alternatives to its CLI interface, like kdar, DarGUI, SaraB, etc.
storeBackup is a backup utility that stores files on other disks. It's able to compress data, and recognize copying and moving of files and directories (deduplication), and unifies the advantages of traditional full and incremental backups. It can handle big image files with block-wise changes efficiently. Depending on its contents, every file is stored only once on disk. Tools for analyzing backup data and restoring are provided. Once archived, files are accessible by mounting file systems (locally, or via Samba or NFS). It is easy to install and configure. Additional features are backup consistency checking, offline backups, and replication of backups.
mysqlblasy is a Perl script for automating MySQL database backups. It uses "mysqldump" for dumping mysql databases to the files sytem. It was written with automated usage in mind. For example, it is silent during operation, and only produces noise on errors/problems. It rotates backups automatically to prevent the backup disk from getting full when the administrator is on vacation (or is lazy).
G4L is a hard disk and partition imaging and cloning tool. The created images are optionally compressed, and they can be stored on a local hard drive or transferred to an anonymous FTP server. A drive can be cloned using the "Click'n'Clone" function. G4L supports file splitting if the local filesystem does not support writing files larger than 2GB. The included kernel supports ATA, serial-ATA, and SCSI drives. Common network cards are supported. It is packaged as a bootable CD image with an ncurses GUI for easy use.
LRZIP is a compression program and library that can achieve very high compression ratios and speed when used with large files using unlimited sized compression windows. It uses the combined compression algorithms of zpaq and lzma for maximum compression, lzo for maximum speed, and the long range redundancy reduction of rzip. It is designed to scale with increases with RAM size, improving compression further. A choice of either size or speed optimizations allows for either better compression than even lzma can provide, or better speed than gzip, but with bzip2 sized compression levels. It also has high grade password protected encryption and full STDIN/STDOUT support.
BitRock InstallBuilder allows you to create easy-to-use multiplatform installers for Linux (x86/PPC/s390/x86_64/Itanium), Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (x86/Sparc), IRIX, AIX, and HP-UX applications. The generated application installers have a native look-and-feel and no external dependencies, and can be run in GUI, text, and unattended modes. In addition to self-contained installers, the installation tool is also able to generate standalone RPM packages.
A fully-featured launchd front-end for managing and debugging system and user services.
