Under the Oaks with Llewellyn Vaughan-LeePosted: Sun 09/02/2012 03:00 PM
It's one of Oprah's favorite places in the world—and the site of her eye-opening conversation with Sufism teacher and author Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee. Watch a few highlights from their conversation under the oaks of Oprah's California home!
Llewellyn defines Sufism and explains why it's about love and the heart. Oprah and Llewellyn discuss why it's difficult for people to embrace the idea of oneness when the world feels so broken. Find out how technology helps connect us and create oneness around the world. Seeking Happiness? Why You Might Really Be Looking for Love InsteadPosted: Thu 08/30/2012 08:00 AM
In a recent conversation for "Super Soul Sunday," when Oprah described to me how so often in her conversations and interviews people said to her how they just wanted to be happy, I found myself responding, "I think they want to be loved." All of us want, or need, to be loved. The need for love is one of the most basic human impulses. We may cover this need with patterns of self-protection or images of self-reliance. Or we may openly acknowledge this need to ourselves or others. But it is always present, whether hidden or visible. Usually, we seek love in human relationships, projecting our need onto parents, partners, friends or lovers. Our lack or denial of love often causes wounds that we carry with us. This unmet need haunts us, sometimes driving us into addictions or other self-destructive patterns. If our need for love is met, we feel nourished in the depths of our beings. Love calls to us in many different ways. Yet while most people seek for love in the tangle of human relationships, the mystic is drawn deeper under the surface—in Rumi's words, "Return to the root of the root of your own being." And here we discover one of the greatest human secrets—that the source and answer to this primal need is not separate from us, but part of our own essential nature, our own true being. Again, to quote Rumi: The minute I heard my first love story,The mystical truth of the oneness of love is something both simple and essential: The real nature of the love that we all seek is not other than us. I remember my first direct experience of this love. I was in my late 20s when one afternoon while I was in meditation I felt what I can only describe as butterfly wings touching the edge of my heart. And in that instant, my whole being and body were filled with a love I had hardly known existed. Every cell of my body was loved, gently and completely. Love was present in all of me. And this love came from within me, from my own heart. There was no other. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee on SufismPosted: Wed 08/29/2012 08:00 AM
"Sufism is a path of love. The Sufi is a traveler on the path of love, a wayfarer journeying back to God through the mysteries of the heart. For the Sufi the relationship to God is that of lover and Beloved, and Sufis are also known as lovers of God. The journey to God takes place within the heart, and for centuries Sufis have been traveling deep within themselves, into the secret chamber of the heart where lover and Beloved share the ecstasy of union."

Three Thoughts for Today from Llewellyn Vaughan-LeePosted: Sat 03/03/2012 08:00 AM
"In order to hear the guidance that comes from within we need to attune ourself to the frequency of the heart and be sensitive to the still, small voice of the Self. " - Excerpted from Sufism: The Transformation of the Heart by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee "Through meditation and inner work we create an inner space that is unpolluted by the desires of the ego and the chatter of the mind. Going within the heart, we learn to listen to the voice of the Beloved, the guidance of the Self." - Excerpted from Sufism: The Transformation of the Heart by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee "Love is the desire of the heart that can help us overcome the desires of the ego. St. Paul said, 'Love bears all things'; love gives us the strength to bear the difficulties, doubts, and uncertainties that the ego and the mind place in our path. If we know ourselves as lovers then we know the meaning of our sacrifice and we can cross the desert that lies between the ego and the Self." - Excerpted from Prayer of the Heart in Christian and Sufi Mysticism by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee (Publication date: May 1, 2012) For more of Llewellyn's discussion with Oprah, watch "Super Soul Sunday" Sunday morning at 11/10c.

Anglers get excited about catching trophy fish. A few are obsessed with catching a record. Most are more casual, but catching the biggest of something still has an undeniable allure.
My surveys of more than 3,000 Mississippi anglers revealed that "knowing big fish are available to be caught" was very important in selecting a fishing site. This begs the question, are there any simple "rules" that an angler can use to judge the trophy potential of a water body?
Test The Waters Nationwide reservoir assessments indicate surface area and growing season (number of frost-free days in a year) are good predictors of fish production. To test if these factors are also related to catches of trophy fish, Texas fisheries researchers analyzed rod-and-reel lake records for various warm-water species from reservoirs throughout Texas1.
They looked at lake records from small ponds to 185,000-acre Toledo Bend Reservoir. Growing season ranged from 186 frost-free days in the Panhandle to 341 along the coast. They found that growing season wasn't important.
But record fish weight was positively related to surface area for 13 of 14 species. Bigger reservoirs produced bigger record fish, and the strongest relationships were for channel catfish, flathead catfish, largemouth bass and common carp.
But even the best fish-size-to-lake-size relationships accounted for less than 25 percent of the variation in fish size. In other words, other factors not measured in this study, such as habitat and harvest, had much more to do with record size than did surface area.
Big Fish Potential The lack of a strong link between reservoir size and fish size probably doesn't surprise you. Everybody knows of huge largemouth bass, giant 'gills and redears caught in small private ponds.
Growing big fish, regardless of the species, requires fast growth rates and high survival. Over the years, this column has explored effective strategies fisheries managers use to improve the abundance of large fish. Common to all are the basic tenets that good habitat and a good food supply produce fast growth; and appropriate harvest restrictions improve survival rates. These principles are little influenced by lake size or growing season.
But even under the best environmental conditions and low fishing mortality, truly trophy fish are a rarity. Even with catch and release, natural mortality plus the low mortality from hooking whittles away at the population, leaving few trophies after 10 or more years.
Given that the real giants of any species in a lake are rare, it has always struck me as odd that in the South, where lakes don't freeze, winter is often touted as the best time to catch big bass, crappies and catfish. Strange that so many big fish are caught despite such low fishing effort. It seems that more lines in the water would improve the chances of giant fish being caught.
I've always wondered if high fishing pressure affects the behavior of big fish. A recent study offers an answer to that question, and we'll cover it in the next Research Update.
There are currently no comments, be the first to post one.
Sixty-seven lakes and reservoirs, in 19 states, hold specially tagged fish that could turn into cash or prizes for lucky anglers! Read on!
Catfish are known to consume odd things for their meals, so it is no wonder that some of the better baits to catch these fish are quite out of the ordinary.
Big rivers like the Missouri, Ohio and Mississippi are legendary for the monstrous cats they produce. But bigger isn't always better.
You saw the pictures, you knew flatheads were famous for feeding on almost anything, and you shook your head in disbelief. But you never knew the true story behind the photo of the huge cat with a basketball stuck in its mouth, did you?

Colorado Assisted Living
Colorado assisted living is defined as a residential facility that provides room and board, personal services, social care and protective oversight to adults who cannot live independently but do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care. Private pay is the general term used for an assisted living residence. Medicaid-certified residences are known as alternative care facilities, and residential treatment facilities are for adults with severe and persistent mental illness.
In Colorado there are 319 Assisted Living Facilities. We can help you find the best matches for your needs. The average cost of Assisted Living in Colorado is $3,520 per month.

Cost of Assisted Living in Colorado
Back to topThe average cost of Assisted Living in Colorado is $3,520. Assisted Living costs range from $1,900 to $6,293 depending on location and other factors.
The cost of assisted living in Colorado may fluctuate depending on whether or not the facility is licensed as an assisted living residence or an alternative care facility. Stays at assisted living residences are paid for privately by the resident or a family member.
However, an alternative care facility will accept a Medicaid home and community-based services waiver to help pay for care. In order to qualify for this option, adults must meet the program's medical and financial criteria. The resident's income must be less than $1,986 per month with countable resources equaling no more than $2,000 for a single person or $3,000 for a couple. Finally, applicants must be in need of and willing to receive services and assistance from assisted living facilities in Colorado.

Overview of Colorado Assisted Living
Back to topColorado is known for its strikingly vivid landscape of mesas, plains, canyons and mountains. Coloradans have a myriad of outdoor activities at their fingertips, and are proud to have the lowest rates of obesity of any state in the country. The Centennial State is home to The Rocky Mountains, a very popular tourist destination for hiking, climbing, skiing, fishing and snowboarding. Residents who choose assisted living in Colorado have over 500 facilities to choose from, and a variety of activities within their reach. If you're a sports nut, the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Rockies will keep you entertained all season long. If tranquility and relaxation are what you're after, Colorado has six national monuments, 11 national forests, a selection of natural hot springs and one geyser to calm your spirit.
Assisted Living in Colorado Defined
Back to topThe state of Colorado defines an assisted living facility as a residential facility that provides room and board, personal services, social care and protective oversight to adults who cannot live independently but do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care. Facilities may be home to as little as three or as many as 200 beds, and the most common reasons for admission to Colorado assisted living communities are to provide medication management, supervision, protection and bathing and dressing assistance. There are three types of assisted living facilities in Colorado:
- Private pay (or assisted living residence)
- Alternative care facilities
- Residential treatment facilities
Regulation of Colorado Assisted Living Facilities
Back to topThe Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) oversees licensing of Colorado assisted living facilities on behalf of the State Department of Health Care and Financing. All facilities, whether private pay, alternative care or residential treatment, that administer and provide for more than three adults must be licensed. Once a facility has met the licensing requirements and has paid all fees, the CDPHE will perform unannounced annual inspections to make sure that they are in compliance with state regulations. More frequent inspections are done on facilities who demonstrate non-compliance with license requirements or that have resident complaints. Training for caregivers and administrators of assisted living communities in Colorado must include a 30-hour program approved by the CDPHE. According to the CDPHE:
"15 hours of this training must include training in residents' rights, environment and fire safety, emergency procedures and first aid, assessment skills, identifying and dealing with difficult situations and behaviors, and nutrition. The other 15 hours of training focuses on meeting the personal, social and emotional needs of the resident population served."
Legislation of Colorado Assisted Living Facilities
Back to top On April 12, 2012, Colorado Governor Hickenlooper signed into law Senate Bill 23, which revised the language of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). This bill now allows for increased education of the PACE program to eligible seniors and provides the option of switching from their current enrollment in a Medicaid program, such as an Accountable Care Collective (ACC), into PACE.To demystify language of the PACE legislation, here are a few helpful terms.
- Managed Care describes a health care system that consolidates medical providers, such as hospitals, doctors or dentists, into one group to streamline costs and access to health care services for patients.
- PACE is an example of a managed care system that is funded by Medicare/Medicaid and provides health care and services to people who meet specific criteria, including being 55 years or older and need nursing facility level of care.
- Accountable Care Collaborative is a recent Medicaid program that is designed to also reduce costs and their client's health. Clients belong to a Regional Care Collaborative Organization.
- An Enrollment Broker assists people in navigating Medicare/Medicaid to find the health plan that fits their needs and eligibility.

In signal processing, there is a very important way of combining two signals called convolution. [The german word for convolution is Faltung which means folding.] Here we start by convolving a square signal with another. One square is slid across from left to right, and we look at how much area there is under the two shapes (coloured in red). The thick black line measures how big this area is, and that ends up being the convolution. Next we convolve the convolution with another square and keep going. Note how this makes the curve smoother and smoother, and it is actually turning it into a Bell Curve, or Gaussian. Can anyone explain why this might be, and hence an interesting link between signal processing and probability theory? [more] [code]
Yay EE20/120.
I remember the professor always bagging people for using the verb 'convolute' falsely over 'convolve'…

What is otoplasty?
Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear.
Otoplasty can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth that becomes apparent with development or it can treat misshapen ears caused by injury.
Ear surgery creates a natural shape, while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefits to appearance and self-esteem.
If protruding or disfigured ears bother you or your child, you may consider plastic surgery.
Specifically ear surgery can treat:
- Overly large ears — a rare condition called macrotia
- Protruding ears occurring on one or both sides in varying degrees — not associated with hearing loss
- Adult dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery
- What is otoplasty?

Roux en-Y Gastric Bypass is considered to be the "gold standard" of all bariatric surgical procedures because the gastric bypass is a time-tested operation (dating back to the late 1960's). Significantly more information is available about the long-term results of the Roux en-Y Gastric Bypass (as compared to other available procedures) because its results have been documented for over 20 years.
During normal digestion, food moves down into the stomach from the esophagus. While in the stomach, the food is broken down by gastric juices. This process takes about twenty to thirty minutes, after which the stomach contents move to the first segment of small intestine. Most of the iron and calcium in the foods we eat is absorbed at this time. The remaining segments of the small intestine complete the absorption of almost all calories and nutrients. The remaining food particles that cannot be digested in the small intestines are stored in the large intestine until eliminated.
The Roux en-Y operation provides a restrictive and malabsorptive method to weight loss because the stomach and small intestines are reconfigured. First, a "mini stomach" is created by permanently dividing the stomach, creating a stomach pouch that can hold about 2-3 bites of food. The intestine is then cut approximately one and one half feet beyond the stomach and is attached to the pouch to provide an outlet for the food. This aids in weight loss in that you cannot eat as much and you absorb fewer nutrients and calories.
Instead of food staying in the stomach for the "normal" twenty to thirty minutes, it now stays in the "mini pouch" for about ten minutes, then moves on to the small intestine. The pouch maintains a sensation of fullness for a longer period of time.
Digestive juices are still produced in the lower part of the stomach and are released into the intestines where they help the food digest. Nutrients and calories can still be absorbed, but the food is not as thoroughly digested so a greater portion moves into the large intestine to be released.
The Roux en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery may be performed "open" or "laparoscopically". When performed as an "open" procedure, a midline incision on the abdomen is made extending from just under the diaphragm to a spot close to the belly button. A stapling device is used to create the "mini pouch".
The "laparoscopic" approach, also known as "minimally invasive surgery" follows the same guidelines internally, however this surgery is done using 5-6 small keyhole incisions. A camera is inserted into one of the incisions, to aid the surgeon for guidance. Several small instruments are inserted into the other incisions to perform the surgery.
The Roux en-Y Gastric Bypass procedure is not right for everyone. Here are some of the things we will consider when evaluating your candidacy for obesity surgery.
The Roux en-Y Gastric Bypass procedure may be right for you if:

With word that United Way Campaign has raised $712,166 so far this year - 54 percent of the $1,310,000 million goal - we join campaign volunteers in encouraging you to step up now with your donation.
"With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I would encourage folks not to forget about the United Way," said campaign chair Vince Horrigan in a press release late last week. "Your financial gift will help make sure the vital programs of our partner agencies continue to meet the needs of children, families, and seniors living right here in this community."
While the workplace campaigns were supposed to be all wrapped up by Friday, the full campaign continues through the end of the year.
As you likely know, the United Way of Southern Chautauqua County supports 44 programs in 19 agencies that reach a helping hand across a broad spectrum in our communtiy - children, seniors, the blind, the hungry, and simply normal everyday folks who are the victims of disasters.
"For any of these programs to experience a cut in funding would be devastating," said Horrigan. "No other fundraising effort utilizes the entire community quite like the United Way does. This gives all of us the unique opportunity to help make a difference."
For more information about the United Way and the 2012 Campaign or to make a donation, telephone 483-1561, or visit the local United Way at www.uwayscc.org.

Here's the scenario: You have an MS cluster with MS exchange and SMSMSE (Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange). And you're having problems with the Exchange because SMSMSE is in a stopping state. There is nothing in the logs that says otherwise except for an error in clustering (error 1460).
After checking on Symantec Knowledge base, I found out that it has something to do with the timing. For clustered environment, it is not advisable to make SMSMSE dependent upon another service. Check if the current setup have the SMSMSE dependent on another service that is forcing the Symantec service to stop is-as one admin (someone I know) said "would be a tedious process and is not an option". i.e. it would make things worse. Anyway, waiting for the service to stop really may do the trick.
Then I also found this while Googleing on the probable causes for the clustering side... " Problem:...
Security Analyst
Users will be users and there are always odd bunch of them who get the threats from somewhere and then there are also nerds who like to experiment and when you are learning you don't know the basic things like a test machine for everything. The important part is that the AV has to do what it's supposed to do. I am working for a client who has SAV for the client machines and Trend Micro ServerProtect for the servers and have started the migration. The SAV primary and secondary servers also have trend on it and the auto protect is thus disabled. The configuration has been working wonderfully well but with the new threat landscape AV alone is not sufficient and you have to have a combination of AV, firewall,...
Last year, we started looking at SEP11. As we're still running on SAV8 for majority of the servers and clients, with a few SAV9 and SAV10, I believe it's about time to start upgrading to the latest version. I checked the features, documentations, forums, blogs, articles and everything about SEP and I'm getting a negative feedback, a lot of people are complaining. Some even call it a nightmare! Very discouraging. I kept on thinking, as the Server Technology Analyst and only 1 year with the company, I don't want to risk my new job as well as mess around with the servers. Is SEP11 ready for primetime, or is it a disaster? SEP11 is September 11, hmmm, a 9/11 disaster! So we didn't rushed to deploy this. Instead, I started working on test servers and clients. At the same time, as I'm the only one who's going to deploy and implement this, I need to have a plan, a very safe one.
I created a project plan, first looking at the existing SSC setup and...
I work as a Security Consultant for my company and obviously as an Antivirus specialist.
So this story is about a client who had about 8,000 clients and was currently using MacAfee. They were at the end of their contract, in few months,so they were looking for a better solution as they were hit by number of outbreaks in the last couple of years and were not satisfied with the support provided.
So a Conference call was scheduled and I was invited to give my views on which antivirus solution to consider migrating, and why to switch. We also discuss the Pros and Cons.
Their requirement were pretty simple, but very strict, and they wanted a secure and Malware free environment due to the recent outbreaks which cost them too much with high downtimes and un-availability of critical production servers.
So when I joined the Conference, there were about 8 members with their own views and recommendations. ...

If you click the Add a Firewall Policy command, it can take up to 1.5 minutes for the Firewall Policy Overview page to appear. This occurs if the management server contains 500 or more groups. The problem occurs because it takes time for the Overview page displays all the groups and locations that the existing firewall policies are assigned to.

The last couple days, I've been wondering what makes a woman a feminist. In my mind, a feminist is a woman who believes that no woman should be forced to do something that she does not want to do.* A poster on FaceBook pointed out for women, the best example of feminism is the Blessed Mother.
Think about it for a minute: She was a young, unmarried human when an angel came to her and said that she was going to give birth to the Savior of the world.
I've had the song "Hail Mary, Gentle Woman" stuck in my head for a few days… especially the verse that goes:
You were chosen by the Father
You were chosen for the Son
You were chosen from all women
And for woman, shining one
Over the past few weeks, it seems we have been bombarded with misogyny… from Rush Limbough's comments about Sandra Fluke to the female member of a conservative christian church who was forbidden (with the other ladies) from praying in front of a man to the Georgia mom who was likened to a stripper for having the gall to breastfeed in church.
The one thing I can't help but wonder, would these men speak that way to their own mothers, let alone the mother of our Savior? Then why is it OK to speak to and about other women that way??
Now I know that not all of you, my dear readers, are Catholic and the whole Mary thing is kind of hard to understand. "Do Catholics worship Mary?" (NO.) "Why does she figure so prominently in your Faith?" (Because she was the vessel that carried our Lord) "I've heard it's a throwback to appease the Pagans and their goddess worship." (I can't speak to that. You'd have to ask a theologian.) If Catholics are so PRO-women, why are some Catholics ANTI-choice?" (Because we are pro-all women, not just the grown up ones, think that women deserve more choices and give women more credit than society thinks they deserve.) I could go on and on.
I guess it just takes a different mindset. Knowing that God created each of us in HIS image and that male and female are meant to be complementary… NOT the same. And that women, like men, deserve respect. Not because we are women, but because we are people.
I am proud to say that I became more fully ensconced in my faith BECAUSE of Mama Mary. She is the ideal that I try to strive for… a figure of grace, humility, and strength. After all, it was at the Wedding at Cana where she told the staff "Do whatever He tells you to do." She was there watching her Son carry his cross through the town. Heard people call him names and spit on him and most likely wanted to gouge their eyes out for attacking her little boy, but she didn't. She knew His role was bigger than all of ours. She watched him die on a cross and gently cradled his lifeless body when it was taken down. She rejoiced when He rose again.
Talk about a mother's love and confidence. That's the sort of woman I want to be.
Caravaggio's Madonna dei Palafrenieri
*and this is where the abortion debate can get a bit sticky because I know that some will argue that some women willingly and 100% choose to have abortions and who are we to stand in their way. See, this ESTJ is learning nuance! Not saying it's right but I can see the other side's POV!

PdaNet, the popular (and free) tethering app in Cydia, has been updated to mask unauthorized data tethering. This comes after carriers like AT&T have started cracking down on iPhone owners who use MyWi to tether without losing their unlimited data plan.
AT&T has been flagging any packets that appeared to come from a secondary device before sending out a notice to users. PdaNet prevents this by using a method of masking packets sent through the network so your carrier can't tell if the data is coming from a device other than your iPhone.

Every week a few of us from team TiPb will bring you our current favorite, funnest, most useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they're iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch related, they're fair game.
To see what we picked this week, and to tell us your pick, follow on after the break!
PdaNet has been hailed as the best reason to Jailbreak your iPhone. Why? Because it sets your iPhone up as a WiFi router that you can easily connect to with your laptop. This setup is ideal for a lot of users for a few reason:
There is one major caveat you need to be aware of with PdaNet, however. The Terms of Service on the standard AT&T iPhone contract and also on their standard Data Plans do not allow you to tether. Most people simply ignore this and go ahead and tether anyway -- being careful not to overdo it to prevent AT&T from hitting them with extra fees or even a cancellation. If that doesn't worry you, read on for a full how to on getting PdaNet setup to tether to your Laptop!
I've gone ahead and followed Jeremy's excellent iPhone Jailbreak instructions for one specific reason: the ability to install PdaNet on my iPhone for tethering. PdaNet let us know, along with reader Lawton, that they've given up waiting for App Store approval (which will likely never come anyway) and have gone ahead and released their application for jailbroken iPhones. You can get the full skinny here.
Null River sends word that Apple has officially responded to them (at long last) and the response is sadly what we expected:
Looks like Apple has decided they will not be allowing any tethering applications in the AppStore. As such, NetShare will not be available in the iTunes AppStore. We are seeing a lot of similar reports from various developers who's applications were abruptly removed and banned from the AppStore without any violations of the terms of service. This is all unfortunate news for the iPhone platform end-users.
Seems like it's been an eternity since the pulling of the NetShare application officially brought us into the age of Apple pulling apps from the App Store on an almost daily basis. Without NetShare, the only folks who have been able to utilize their iPhones' 3G connection for Laptop connectivity have been the crazy ones.
For the rest of us, there's just the teeniest, tiniest glimmer of hope, that AT&T will relent and allow official tethering.

I purchased this jacket in late January 2012 to replace a decade old NorthFace Mountain Guide GORE-TEX XCR shell which I grew quite fond of. After a decade of use the North Face jacket had started to delaminate and any rip & stick panels that hadn't fallen off had turned to fuzz. The TNF Mountain was my first waterproof breathable shell. I learned a lot about it's weaknesses in that time and what I wanted in a replacement that would serve as a rain jacket in warmer weather and a shell over bulkier insulation in a winter environment. Breathability- The Drystein Jacket by Mountain Hardware caught my eye mostly in part to the new laminate that MH engineered Dry.Q Elite (I believe that MH combines a variation of the core eVent laminate with it's own adhesives and face/backing fabrics). It's leaps and bounds more breathable compared to my old GORE-TEX XCR jacket. So much so that I haven't found an instance that I've wished that the stretch panels in the armpits were equipped with zippers. The main pockets are mesh lined and can act as secondary ventilation. Windproofness remains intact compared to GT XCR, as windy Chicago winters has confirmed for me. It feels a little cooler (I think due in part to the 3 layer laminate vs the 2 layer w/ nylon mesh of the GT XCR in my old jacket) which isn't great if you aren't moving Overall Fit- MH doesn't joke around when it come to the sizing. This jacket has an athletic alpine fit. It won't allow much room for insulation underneath if not upsized. I'm 5'7 ~150 lbs. and normally wear a size M, but in order to fit insulation comfortably underneath I needed to move up to a L. Some people have complained that this jacket has sleeves made for a monkey. These people have obviously never tried to lift their arms above their head only to expose their mid-riff. The long sleeves help combat that and in rain jacket mode I am able to pull my hands comfortably inside to keep them dry without stretching the jacket. I would have liked another 1" in length at the waist but I have a long torso so your mileage may vary. Hood- I was initially concerned at the size of the helmet compatible hood. It took me a little while to dial in the fit for non-helmet usage but it works really well now and follows my head as I turn without looking baggy. The brim is fantastic and very functional. There are a couple items that I am unhappy about but they are in no ways dealbreakers -Factory DWR (Durable Water Repellent) does not seem as robust as the factory DWR on my old Northface. The Drystein seems more prone to wetting out, (it dries out super quick though). Parts of the jacket wetted out in the first non-drizzle/mist rainfall I wore it in, and continues to do so. The inside does remain dry though. The Drystein would be receiving 5 stars if it weren't for this. -Handwarmer pockets are too low to accommodate the hipbelt of a pack
Awesome Piece of Gear
March 17, 2012
Great Jacket, I've taken this bad boy out in a few storms that would put any shell to the test. It has kept me completely dry and breathes well. It has the same quality as any 3 layer gore-tex but with competitive pricing; especially if you can find it on sale. My only gripe is that if wearing the hood without a helmet, it feels a little awkward and bulky, also hard to cinch down. If a strong gust blows into your face it kind of acts like a sail and balloons up. It fits well but I have the same recommendation as everybody else; order a size larger than you would normally wear especially if you intend on layering. It has a very snug fit. I'm 5'9" 150 lbs usually order a small but went with a medium which fits perfect and allows enough room for light layering.
Pros: waterproof, competitive priceGreat shell!
August 24, 2012
I love this jacket! The fit is great. I'm 6'3" and an athletic 230lbs and the XL is perfect - sleeves length is spot on, the body is not too bulky. The hood is helmet compatible, so by nature it is big, but once adjusted properly it works wonderfully even if you aren't wearing a helmet. The fabric is amazing. It feels like a soft shell, but performs like a hard shell, being completely waterproof. I have a GoreTex ProShell jacket that cost a bit more than this and the difference in feel between the 2 is remarkable. The GoreTex jacket has more of a crunchy feel and is very loud. I ordered the 2 tone blue and it looks killer. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that the zippers are really stiff. Over time they may loosen up and it in no way impacts performance, but it is still a very minor annoyance.
Pros: fit, fabric, Performance, Cons: zippers are a bit stiffVery nice jacket
April 04, 2012
This is a great jacket. The new DryQElite is amazing- It breathes better than any jacket I own. Since having this jacket I have not had to use any other jacket for rain or snow or anything in between. Its just that good. I'm in Colorado so I have used this so far in the mountains in snow, and rain. And around town on my bike and it just is awesome. Order a size up- I am 5'11 175, athletic -and the medium is just too tight in the shoulders- it looks amazing but the large fits better and allows me to layer with it. I am so impressed with the jacket I bought one for my girl friend also.
February 12, 2012
Love the look and cut of the jacket as well as the mix of materials. The athletic fit is nice, room for a bit of layering but not so much fabric that you feel like your wearing a sail. I am 6'4" and the XL is perfect. I had two concerns when purchasing. -One, the waterproofing - After a month of wet winter use I am very happy with the Dry Q technology, I feel like it was money well spent. -Two, the hood - The hood was designed for use with a helmet, which I don't use. My concern was that I would be swimming in the hood and it would be a pain to manage. I was happy with how efficiently the Drystein's 2 cinching chords pulled the hood down to size, the fit on my head is snug and it turns nicely with my head. I am very happy with this jacket.
It is comfortable!
March 27, 2012
It is the jacket which I am light, and is really comfortable. It is not stuffy even if I sweat. It is the best jacket in the humid country such as Japan!
September 27, 2012
Choose a size larger than you would normally order. Light weight and very athletic trim fit. Welded seams are great, comfortable pockets and large hood that roles up nicely
February 29, 2012
Great jacket! Keeps you warm and let's you breathe. One of the nice things about this is the great colors and detail fron the zippers to the logo. Will buy again!
Nice jacket, tight fit
February 21, 2012
I really had high hopes for this jacket. I purchased it as a replacement for my old MH jacket that I loved. I'm all for a snug fit and hate bulky jackets, but there was absolutely no room for even a thin fleece layer underneath without feeling cramped. If I was hiking or climbing I probably wouldn't need much of an underlayer, but I think a little more room would go a long way. Aside from that, it's classic MH quality.
Pros: good mobility, water repellancy, Cons: tight fitA Worth Jacket
March 28, 2012
I just picked this jacket up and can't wait to test it out. I am 177cm and 70kg, got the medium. The jacket is a bit thin when I wear a P300 fleece. I hope the new Dry.Q Elite technology is truly, and very noticeably, breathable.
November 27, 2012
I bought this jacket for my husband and it has been a great jacket. He has worn it as a shell skiing and as a rain jacket in the South. It fits well and has been the perfect jacket for hiking and a water resistant jacket in the south and a for skiing in the north. Would highly recommend for it a year round multi-purpose jacket.
Drystein Jacket
March 23, 2012
I recently received the Drystein Jacket from Altrec and have to say that it is an awesome product. The material is fully waterproof, but breathes like any high end jacket should. I have owned other MH jackets in the past, from Conduit to other shells, and the new DryQ is definitely a step up. I am happy to pay for a product besides GoreTex. In addition, MH knows how to create an athletic fit and the sizing is just right. I am 5' 10" with a trim build and the Medium fits perfectly. Sleeves are just right (34"), but the bottom portion of the jacket could sit a little lower. I also like the pit areas on this jacket. Rather than using pit zips, the fabric is designed to breathe, which makes it good for backpacking. As with most MH jackets, my only gripe is the hood. Unless you have a helmet on, you will be swimming in it.
Pros: bombproof design, athletic fit, waterproof, built in breathability without pit zips, Cons: hood is too large for non helmet users, the bottom could be a bit lowerNice technical jacket
June 07, 2012
Jacket has good quality and finish, feels soft and comfortable, nice fit, not too snug neither excesive roomy. After doing some research about fabrics and membranes i chose this one and works well avoiding moisture build-up and delivers waterproofness as posted. I´ve been using it from city walks to extreme conditions MTB. I surely recommend this jacket. You´ll get what you see on-line

Since 1952, North Park Batting Range has facilitated outdoor baseball training on its open-air range. In each of 10 open-air baseball cages, automated pitching machines fire balls into the strike zone at 30–80 miles per hour. Five open-air softball cages loft pitches at various speeds for batters training for slow-pitch or fast-pitch leagues. On the 18-hole, par 40 miniature golf course, family-owned and operated since 1961, flourishing shrubs, sharp corners, water hazards, hills, and windmills create obstructions for golfers.
HappyFeet founder Andy Barney boasts a lengthy resumé: the Oxford, England, native was a semipro soccer player by the age of 16, studied physical education in college, and coached youth soccer for 10 years before moving to the U.S. In America, he coached at Avila University and wrote the book Training Soccer Legends, but one day he found his extensive experience challenged by an unlikely group—preschoolers. He had agreed to spend what he thought would be an easy afternoon leading tots in a soccer workshop, only to end up exhausted yet inspired to design a curriculum specifically for younger kids.
His research eventually led to HappyFeet, where instructors play with kids aged 2–6 using a proprietary lesson plan the company dubbed "story time with a soccer ball." Each kid receives a ball, and beyond practicing basic skills such as dribbling, striking, and autograph signing in a noncompetitive setting, the incorporation of stories, nursery rhymes, and songs enables kids to exercise both physical and mental faculties. The 45-minute indoor classes, which were reviewed by the Pittsburgh Tribune, are held onsite at preschools and sports facilities such as PISA. Little ones can also be enrolled in HappyFeet's leagues, where a 15- to 20-minute mini class precedes a 30-minute game.

The North Campus features an indoor regulation infield for live-action baseball and softball games, which are also held at Sardis Park, a four-field outdoor complex occasionally visited by the ghosts of legendary cornstalks.

Baptism Service at Roberson Aquatic Center
Emmanuel College's first Wednesday night chapel service of spring semester included baptizing 13 people at the Roberson Aquatic Center in the College's new Athletic Center.
This is the first baptism service in the new facility since it opened during fall semester. In the past, baptisms on campus have taken place at the outdoor campus pool and the indoor baptismal pool at nearby Franklin Springs PH Church.
New Athletic Center Opens
With a capacity crowd for history in the making, Emmanuel College welcomed 1,200 people to the Dedication Ceremony of its new Athletic Center on Saturday, Oct. 6, during Homecoming Weekend 2012.
Disability Services
Purpose Statement
It is the policy of Emmanuel College to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities. Federal law (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) established the rights of individuals with disabilities. Emmanuel College shall comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations regarding reasonable accommodations needed to provide equal opportunity to qualified individuals with disabilities.
Each year more high school students with disabilities are planning to continue their education at institutions of higher education, such as Emmanuel College. As a student with a disability, students entering college need to be well informed about changes in their rights and responsibilities as well as the rights and responsibilities afforded by the College. A student who is well informed will help to ensure a full opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the postsecondary education experience without confusion or delay. Prospective students with disabilities are encouraged to contact or visit Emmanuel College Disability Services in their junior or senior years in high school in order to find out more about disability services at the college level.
There is often a misperception by students entering college and their parents that postsecondary schools and school districts have the same responsibilities in regard to provision of academic adjustments for students with disabilities. This is often not the case; the responsibilities of postsecondary schools are significantly different from those of school districts at the secondary level. Also, the responsibilities of students with disabilities are significantly different as well. As a student with a disability enters the college setting, it is in their best interest to know their rights and responsibilities and the rights and responsibilities of the postsecondary schools under Section 504 and Title II. Doing so will improve the opportunity to succeed in a postsecondary education.
For more information, please contact Sean Williamson, Director of Disability Services, at 706-245-2881 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Stoner Rock is the fuzzed-out step-child of hard rock and heavy metal, often with hints of pyschedelic and blues rock as well as doom metal. Songs typically feature a bass-heavy groove, detuned guitars and mind-expanding lyrics (if there are any, that is).

ANCHORAGE, Alaska
Advertisement |
Members of the Downtown Anchorage community say they're pleased to hear from Mayor Dan Sullivan Tuesday that the Inlet Inn, the scene of numerous calls to Anchorage police for incidents including a fatal stabbing a year ago, is slated to close.
Bob Flint is not only a member of the Holy Family Cathedral Catholic church on 5th Avenue: he's also a member of its safety committee, which is chaired by Jim Crittenden.
"You see a lot of the problems that go on around here," Flint said. "And, of course, the disruptions sometimes during Mass and in the church have been constant, and the last two years they've been getting worse -- and so that's why I followed Jim onto the safety committee."
Flint, Crittenden and other committee members of the church, which recently changed its policy regarding homeless people, routinely patrol the church grounds. They say they often find empty liquor bottles, urine and trash -- many of which are in large part due to the Inlet Inn.
"This hotel has been a thorn in our side for quite some time," Crittenden said. "And it isn't just our church, it's our whole Downtown community, which -- it's a wart."
It's an issue the community may no longer have to deal with after Sullivan's announcement that the closure of the hotel is quickly approaching, due to an agreement with property owner Augustine Energy Center LLC.
"I salute them for being good community members and making this very serious and tough decision," Sullivan said.
The Inlet Inn was in the news last year after the death of 50-year-old Andrew Wilson on Jan. 31, 2012. Wilson had been kicked out of a room by 51-year-old Jackie Adams after a dispute over its cost, before Adams let him back in and fatally stabbed him. A jury convicted Adams of second-degree murder in less than three hours of August deliberations.
The inn's owners say its bad press has rubbed off on them as well.
"For whatever reason the operation has perpetuated an environment where problems occur, and it's been problems that affect us as the owner of the property," said Mark Pfeffer with Augustine Energy Center LLC.
Sullivan says the Inlet Inn will be closed by the end of the month.

On Feb. 4, USDA announced a "partial deregulation" of Monsanto's genetically engineered sugar beets to allow planting in 2011. The move came despite a December federal court decision in which the judge ordered that GE beets already planted to produce seed "shall be removed from the ground". USDA has defied the court on behalf of Monsanto before.
At the annual World Economic Forum this past weekend in Davos, Switzerland, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Director Rajiv Shah stood beside CEOs from Monsanto and other infamous giant corporations, and announced U.S. support for a "New Vision for Agriculture."

A former Madison Police officer surrendered to the Limestone County Sheriff's Office Tuesday after his indictment on 17 counts on sexual abuse.
William Watson's bail is set at $300,000.
Investigators say they found four victims. Watson faces nine counts of sexually abusing a child under 12 involving three of the victims. The charges involving the fourth victim include four counts of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12 and four counts of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 16.
Watson was placed on administrative leave. Police officials say he resigned from the department in August.
A trial date has not been set. Watson will go before a jury at the Limestone County Courthouse in Athens.
Fire at Watson's Home
Watson's home on Burgreen Road in East Limestone County caught fire not long after the charges were announced back in August. Investigators called the fire suspicious.
Watson was in the hospital for undisclosed reasons at the time of that fire.
State fire investigators say the fire started in the basement of the home. The home was heavily damaged.

Governor Beebe's weekly column and radio address: The Fiscal Cliff
We are all anxiously watching Washington, D.C., to see if the Obama Administration and Congress will be able to work together and avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff." Significant spending cuts and tax increases are scheduled to kick in on January 1st if the federal government can't produce a long-term plan to reduce our nation's deficit. The cliff is a drastic measure, but it's one of the federal government's own design, agreed to by both Republicans and Democrats in 2011. Both sides made the terms precipitous, thinking that the severity of looming cuts and taxes would overcome political disagreement. So far, unfortunately, no long-term agreement has been reached and gridlock persists.
While the focus remains on Washington, the fiscal cliff carries with it forced cuts in funding for all of the states, as well. While we don't know what the full impact for Arkansas would be, our Department of Finance and Administration has identified nearly $55 million in federal funding that we are certain would be lost. And most of that federal money is intended for education or human-services programs, in other words, where there is great need.
With all states concerned about the consequences if inaction continues in Washington, five of my fellow governors and I were invited to D.C. to meet with President Obama and congressional leaders on behalf of the National Governors Association. While we all came from different states with different concerns, the six of us were a bipartisan group carrying a common message.
We are a nation that understands shared sacrifice is necessary to reduce our deficit. Some folks will pay higher taxes or have fewer deductions, and some services will be reduced. However, governors worry that many of the programs mandated to share costs between state and federal governments could fall victim to cost shifting. We're concerned that federal money for those programs could be reduced to show a savings, but the mandates would still exist. This would place the burden on states to re-direct significant money away from other necessary services. We will work as a state to protect programs that lose federal funds, but rigid mandates could put us in court if our limited resources cannot fully compensate for them.
My trip to Washington, D.C., left me with the impression that good-faith work continues to avoid the fiscal cliff. Vice-President Biden, who was at our meeting with the President, will remain a conduit between the Administration and governors as negotiations go forward. This situation has escalated to a point that our country should never have reached; yet here we are.
In the mid-1990s, President Clinton worked with a Republican-majority Congress to bring down our deficit and created federal budget surpluses. So, we know it can be done. But time is running out as the deadline approaches. An agreement to avoid the cliff will be the best thing for our nation's future, even though it will bring with it some short-term pain and sacrifice. I believe that we remain a nation that values the power of compromise for the common good.
