Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Hybrid Bib
The only large style soft shell bibs, these are a great for all aerobic winter activities. The Dawn Patrol bibs are a really great option for a lot of activities.

This means that you can't No gaiter or anything. They can also be adjusted by the shoulder suspenders. It's not much of a huge change though. Due to descent stretch… Full review
Marmot Women's PreCip Full Zip Pant
I own these and love them. They do the job well of keeping the rain out. I'm not over the top hard on any of my gear, but I've sat on everything from mud to rocks and not one problem with these pants. It's kind of odd how you cool down so quickly after you put these on. No sticking to you when you're sweaty. I do think they run small in size. I'm 5'2" and a size 8 and had to get a large. Which was shocking considering I can wear kids clothes. I'm short so they are a little long, but that's nothing… Full review

Columbia Rain Tech Omni Heat Pants
Live in WA where we get a lot of bad weather. Bought to go with my jacket of the same brand and was extremely impressed with the performance. Priced great, very functional, no frills. Lets start with the only con I could come up with. I put this under the cons because for some people this is a must. Especially when climbing a mountain where crampons are needed, would require too much time and effort to put on and take off. But this is one of the features I didn't want because of the wet weather… Full review
Log House Designs Gore-Tex Pant
The best lightweight, affordable, tough 3-layer pants ever. Buy one size up instead of complaining about moving-fit problems like a city slicker. I had two pairs of these over years and made snow with both of them (a brutal job on equipment). Neither of them ever leaked and any clown who ever says their products leak is without any experience. These were tough and comfortable to wear all the time like any good 3-layer Gore tex but with a tough taslan shell which is decent in brush and the tighter… Full review
Norrona Men's Falketind Gore-Tex Pro Shell Pant
The Norrona Gore-Tex Pro Shell Pant is super light and has a perfect cut. The Norrona Gore-Tex Pro Shell Pant is super light and has a perfect cut. It fit's all around the legs and is not too tight. It's not the best for skiing, but the best for all kind of climbing. It allows a huge opportunity in movement, because of the great fit and stretch in the knees. The material feel ultra durable. There are reinforcements on the inner legs and knees. It's not krepotec, but this pant is ultra light though. Full review
ZPacks Waterproof Breathable Cuben Fiber Rain Pants
These pants are great! I don't usually carry rain pants for summer hikes in dry climates, but for a few ounces these pants saved my bacon in the abnormally stormy weather we experienced on the JMT this past August. I wore them for hiking in rain at high elevation and also around camp and at night in the tent for extra warmth. These pants are worth every penny of the $160 I paid for them. They are so light and small that I don't hesitate to throw them in my pack "just in case". The three layer laminate… Full review
The North Face Men's Mountain Light Pant
These pants exceeded my expectations. They were light, durable, and dried quick after getting wet. Well worth the money! The fit and comfort of these pants were great. The only exception is I wished they offered in between sizes in the waist. They were perfect for camping, and I will be buying another pair soon. They dried very quickly after getting wet, and were very cool in the heat. Full review
Marmot Alpinist Bib
Great fit! Zippers snag easily. I use this product for ski touring and it's great! Very durable and the fit is great. The only issue is that zippers along the legs snag easily. I'm 6'3" 200lbs and wear the xl! Full review

All Online MBA students are invited to attend a one-week residential session in July of each year. Students attend a residential at Aston in their first year, and with a partner institution in their second year.

The week also gives you the opportunity to strengthen the networks that you have been virtually developing with your fellow students and the staff around the world.
During the Aston Residential you will participate in a two day Business Simulation exercise and undertake a three day personal development course as well as attending revision sessions for the modules that you have completed and finally you will sit your exams on the completed modules.
The second residential allows you to focus on specialist topics, such as Corporate Social Responsibility, or deepen your knowledge of doing business in particular markets.
This process is conducted entirely online prior to the start of your course, providing you with a solid foundation for your studies.
As part of the induction process the various components of your communications system are tested to ensure that all parts are functioning correctly.
There is also an introductory case study problem for you to solve which leads to a virtual, live, interactive practice tutorial during which you will present your analysis, followed by your conclusion and recommendations.

Long live the humble BBS, and the current state of file sharing
That nerd (Ward Christensen) who invented the first BBS -- the CBBS in Chicago -- probably had a thought that went something like this: 'Why should we be forced to leave the house to make new friends?' It's not a rare thought; I bet most geeks have pondered the same thing -- in fact, that's why we now have Windows Messenger and Facebook and Twitter and thousands of other 'chat rooms'. We're already interconnected with billions of other people via the telephone network -- why bother walking somewhere, when you can just double click?
But rather than mirroring the meet-and-greet and services-offered format of real-world bulletin boards, BBSes very quickly became forums. Questions were asked and anonymously answered. Data was shared, guides were written and porn found its first safe haven. Little did they know, the early BBSers were playing in a sandbox that would soon become the World Wide Web.
In just three decades, the online world shifted from modems capable of 300 bits per second to fiber switches handling terabytes per minute. The cost of entry has plummeted from an expensive computer and extortionate telephone rates (you had to pay per minute!), to just a few hundred dollars for unlimited Internet access. BBSes have gradually died out, their telephone lines replaced by Telnet, or a website with a forum. They are now just the fondly-remembered ghosts of yesteryear, but they've left one hell of a legacy. Today there are more ways than ever to share data and files, and that's what the rest of this feature is about.
You all know about BitTorrent and other P2P networks like Kazaa or Limewire, but there is a massively diverse range of other networks and protocols out there too. BitTorrent is fast, but not the fastest. It's also fairly secure, but certainly not the most secure! Let's get started with the alternatives.
1. Fire and forget -- RapidShare, Megaupload, et al.
These web-based solutions are ideal for sharing with a group of online friends, be it via Facebook, Twitter or any kind of forum. If you're worried about privacy/safety, you can easily use a proxy server (but I'm not going to walk you through that here). As 'the cloud' grows in strength and the need to transfer large files across the Internet increases, freebie versions of these services are always going to be available.
If you're not getting great speeds from torrents, you might be very surprised at what kind of files you can find on RapidShare too.
2. Small, insular, secure hubs -- Direct Connect!
Perhaps the true spiritual successors to BBSes, Direct Connect hubs are an incredibly popular way of sharing files. Due to their often-draconian access requirements, they tend to be very fast, and very complete. The best hubs have a very elite guest list, so security is really top-notch.
Most DC hubs are localized: you might have a DC hub at your university, or within the local neighborhood. Sweden is quite famous for its '100mbit only' hubs, and I'm sure similar groups exist wherever there are fast fiber networks in America, Europe and the Far East. If you think you've seen quick torrent downloads... you've seen nothing yet.
Grab the open-source DC++ to get started -- but I'm serious when I say that the best hubs are hard to get into. You better have a lot to share and a very fat connection. Just connect to a hub (obey the rules!), search... and off you go!
A lot of 'pro' BitTorrent users don't use public sites like The Pirate Bay or EZTV -- they use private forums to get their fix. Again it's all about quality, and it can be very hard to appease the tyrannical forum moderators, but the wealth of data and files available on private networks is immense. The actual method of distribution varies between torrents, RapidShare/Megaupload or even secure FTP.
Last time I named specific sites I got into trouble, but I can speak in generalities: there are networks with every major PC game in the last two decades, or every PlayStation game. There are sites with TV archives so vast that it would take the rest of your life to watch it all. Unfortunately the only real way in to such networks is through friends, or friends of friends.
I also want to mention TeamSpeak 3, which has a 'file sharing' function that I recently discovered. With a lot of online time now dedicated to multiplayer games, and voice communication growing in popularity, it makes sense to have the ability to share files among their clan and guild members. TS3 is in beta testing at the moment, but the implementation is already impressive. You can expect Ventrilo and other voice communication providers to follow suit.
* * *
I'm sure I missed a popular method of sharing files, so feel free to add your hints/tips in the comments!

This cake was served at my nephew's pig picking after his wedding and it was delicious. You could hear everyone asking for the recipe! It is a bit different than the others posted. The original recipe calls for milnot instead of evaporated milk, but Zaar does not recognize milnot. The person that gave me the recipe said milnot may not be available in our area and evaporated milk could be substituted. I made this cake today for my cousin, who has broken her wrist. Needless to say, she and her boyfriend were delighted and loved it. It was so easy to make. It came out moist and delicious. If you prepare this, I hope you enjoy it!

Jason Shadrick of Premier Guitar recently took a Fender Cabronita Telecaster for a spin, noting how the Fender-built FideliTron pickups give it more attitude than a typical Tele.
Shadrick gave it three and a half out of five "picks" for tone and four out of five for versatility, build and value.
"Anyone who's had the privilege of playing a Custom Shop Cabronita Especial may wish the Cab had more sparkle and dimensionality, but by putting the basic recipe within reach of players on a humbler budget, Fender has shown that it's heard the pleas of scores of Tele forum members," he wrote. "Until now, the masses who've lusted after Cabronitas have had to resort to time-consuming DIY projects that often yield mixed results or custom builds from lesser-known sources that still charge fairly significant sums.
"Many of these real-world players will find the Cab's stock guitar sounds just fine, but even those who want more of the Custom Shop twang and articulation will be thrilled at how easy it now is to swap the pickups out for any of the models in Mr. [TV] Jones' diverse line and essentially have a Cabronita Especial at a fraction of the cost."

Google banned 30,000 advertisers post Economic Resurrection
In the fall of 2008, when the worldwide economy began to melt, Google responded by shamelessly expanding ad coverage on its web-dominating search engine, letting more ads onto more pages. But now that the economy has recovered, the web giant has suddenly become more much vigilant in its efforts to weed out what it considers low- …
Now if they could only...
... get rid of stupid search results that have no bearing on what I actually want - such as those sites that then go do another 'search' based on what I searched for but then only pick some of the keywords selectively, giving useless results.
Web Of Trust (Firefox addin) for the win in this case :)
the article is bo$$ocks
Google is a company who are free to add or remove advertisers as they feel fit subject to the terms and conditions they display when you sign up. The article assumes that you have a right to advertise with Google, you don't. So Google cut advertisers and revenues go up... hmmm ...seems like good business sense to me.
So basically the article criticises Google for good business sense by getting rid of advertisers who aren't creating/having no impact on revenue ...
In other news, the sun came up again this morning and the snow melted ....
... crap journalism ... just out to bash Google ...
You're missing hte point.
a) Google was deliberately allowing dodgy companies to advertise -- potentially exposing us all to scams and malware.
b) Google banned some legitimate companies from advertising with it because it felt like it.
Now, if point 'b' above is correct then, as you quite rightly point out, "it's just business" -- though for a company which says "don't do evil" it seems a little odd, I also wonder at a company whose T's and C's include "we can drop you any time for no reason, ner ner" when they're all for neutrality and all that.
If point 'a' is correct, then Google have deliberately exposed a large number of web users to problems for their own financial gain -- which seems a little "evil" to me.
Google are generally "bashed" for being hypocritical rather than for being a business -- and a lot of their practices make Microsoft and Apple look downright "caring".
Economy "recovered"? When?
Jeez, Metz; are you sure you're not the guy who sneaked the baggie of cocaine into the Space Shuttle assembly hangar at KSC?
We stopped using Adwords
as Google never paid us.
It is called
Just a Business Decision ...
... designed to increase revenues. Nothing personal you see, just business as usual.
AdBlock Plus...
....so it doesn't really matter how good or bad the ads are.
I agree with Michael - the search results that are themselves searches is what blighted AltaVista and Lycos a decade ago and why I dumped both for Google. Google ought to rethink what it searches. And can we please have an option to not show "relevant" stuff from Twitter? I don't give a toss what people tweet, it is not relevant at all.
This article had a google ad beside it for make-a-ton-of-money.com, telling me I can make $77million in 2 years.
Quality indeed.
Re:If only
You're absolutely right. Google used to provide far and away the best quality of search results but now they just return spam, page after page of price comparison sites or auto-generated "blogs" that are just a vehicle for placing more ads. The ads on those sham web sites are invariably placed with Google, so no surprise Google doesn't object to them coming top of the search results.
Yes, but...
The purpose of the article isn't to criticise the fact that google is a clever way to make money.
The point is to share with the rest of us, just how it is done.
Say it ain't so!
So when business is bad, Google turn a blind eye to the malware pushers, pyramid scam merchants et. al. in order to keep turning a profit?
Some might consider that, er, evil.

There are a number of reasons you can end up with a horrible orange head of hair when you were aiming for a nice blond. How to fix the disaster depends on a variety of factors which would take quite a while to plow through, we'll concentrate on the more common ones.
It is a common misconception by many people that hair color grows out quickly. The truth is that the hair color is there until it is cut out, even if it has faded and is nigh on indistinguishable from your natural color at the roots. To find out if your previous color is still on your hair answer this rather frightening question:
If you were to shave your head immediately after coloring, how long would it take your hair to grow back to the length it is now?
Whether the answer is six months, a year or a couple of years that is how long your previous color will still be in your hair from the time you last colored it. Before you color again you need to be aware of the effect your new color will have on the old one. Tint cannot be covered with a lighter tint and bleach will often leave the hair more gingery on darker colors, especially warm shades.
If you have no previous color on your hair and it is naturally very dark it is never going to be subtle blond after the first application. Your hair color is determined by the level of different natural pigments; to lighten your hair the tint or bleach has to either remove (bleach) or cover (tint) those pigments which are darker than the target shade. Black is the first pigment to be removed or covered, assuming it is present in the hair, then brown, red and yellow in that order. If your hair has come out orange then not all of the red pigment has been removed or colored. However, never be tempted to leave the product on your hair for longer than the instructions stipulate; bleach will carry on lifting more pigment from your hair but the peroxide will also cause more damage and could blister or burn your scalp; tint will only ever lift a few shades and will just stop working, although the peroxide will still cause more damage.
High strength peroxides damage the hair more and can blister the scalp if used incorrectly, this is why shop bought home kits have a lower strength peroxide than a stylist can use in the salon. Therefore, you are not going to get a lift of more than three or maybe four shades with shop bought products.
The best thing you can do if this is the situation you find yourself in is to use a temporary toner in a shade opposite orange on the "stylist's color Star". Opposite orange is ash/blue which would seem to be the obvious answer; however, as a stylist with twenty years experience, I would recommend finding a shade with a hint of violet to avoid the dingy greenish color that is often associated with a true ash shade. Invest in some intensive repair treatments and make an appointment with a stylist to get the shade you really want without the drama.

"I thought Ellen was drunk. It turns out she was just squamish after having pulled an all-nighter."
by The Taminator September 27, 2006
One of the best places ever! Eagle capital and recreation capital of the world! You only have to drive an hour south to shop in vancouver or a half hour north to snow board in whistler. But you get to come back to squamish where everything is great! Climb the Chief, wind surf, see a mixture of city and beautiful wild life. And p.s. Those who say Squamish is just a pitstop between Vancouver and Whistler are actually just ignorant people who drive past the town on the high way. You cant tell how big a town is when you drive around it!
Squamish is the best fricken place on earth!

Chillin' Wine Style: The Corkcicle
December 8, 2011
The brilliance of the Corkcicle kinda sneaks up on you.
Suddenly the idea of getting rid of the ice bucket, freeing up room in the busy holiday 'fridge, and serving perfectly chilled wine to your guests every time, looks pretty good, and you can appreciate the thought behind the simplicity of the Corkcicle.
But it also has a little science, by showing that the Corkcicle provides a balance of temperature by chilling your vintage from the center instead of outside of the bottle. This actually makes your wine more full-flavoured and true.
The Corkcicle totally adds to the ongoing story of Oenology in our books!

Ludum Dare 23
About Khayet
Khayet's Trophies
Khayet's Archive
Submitted "A New Kind of Man"!
I submitted my science-fiction platformer with super powers:
Now, this was rough. Instead of overestimating the project like last time, this time I highly underestimated how time-consuming it is:
1. to write a platforming engine in Game Maker,
2. to design levels that make sense (the game ended up being just one level),
3. to implement an engaging story,
4. to relate everything to the theme
This morning (or technically yesterday's morning), I actually thought I would have to give up. I had nothing but a small set of working mechanics without any ideas how to use them effectively. The great plans I made at the start turned out to be absolutely utopian. But after an hour of thinking or so, I finally started working on the actual game. I will probably post a lengthier post-mortem as soon as I've had some sleep.
have fun, Khayet
Khayet is in!
Well, the last LD was a blast – so I'm participating again! I am much better prepared this time, but who knows what will happen during the 48h..
Anyway, here are my tools:
IDE/Language: Game Maker 8.1 (I really want studio, but the standard version will do.)
Graphics: GIMP, Graphicsgale (maybe) + Aiptek 14000U
Music: one of these: musagi, beepbox, soundation, autotracker-c + audacity
Sound effects: bfxr/sfxr + audacity
Misc: chronolapse for timelapsing
Looking forward to playing your games! have fun,
The first time LD: I'm in!
Hello World, I am Khayet and want to participate in Ludum Dare 23. It'll be my first Game Compo
-Game Maker
-beepbox.co + sfxr?^^ I never made sounds or music myself, that's going to be funny. ;D
I wish you all the very best.

Between after school activities, part-time jobs and full time social media there are very few teens getting the suggested 9 hours of sleep a night. The reality is, their body isn't wired for the schedule we put them through.
Dr. Sabin Bista is a sleep specialist at the Nebraska Medical Center. He says teens are wired to stay up late and sleep in, that's their natural pattern, one that we violate every school day. "If you ask a 16 year-old boy or girl to go to bed at 9:00 p.m. that is just not reasonable," said Dr. Bista.
His advice for parents is to "Unplug" your teen at a set time each night. "Taking away their devices will lead to better sleep even if it's not 9 hours each night," said Dr. Bista.
Some school districts around the country have experimented with pushing the start time for high schools back one hour. In Minnesota counselors reported better behavior and fewer absences and tardies. Attendence also improved as did grades slightly in Rhode Island and in Kentucky there was an interesting result outside of the classroom, "What they saw was, in that county, teen driver related motor vehicle accidents were down by 16 point 5 percent while the rest of the state was up 7 point 8 percent."

Nearly one in 10 Brits 'fess to shower phone faux pas
Promoting its waterproofing spray, Oxford-based P2i has polled punters on the soggy environments to which their phones are exposed and expectations on their survival. Three per cent of the thousand respondents regularly share a sauna with their phone, and expect it to work afterwards, but it's the eight per cent who take a …
I took a Samsung A300 swimming once.
Ironicly I could even see water in the "porthole" display on the front by the time I realised my mistake. Made a nasty zapping noise when I plugged it in later too.
I dismantled it and left it in the Croatian sunshine to dry, reassembled and everything was fine. The geeky satisfaction one gets from taking a set of miniature screwdrivers on holiday is as nothing compared to the really smug geeky satisfaction one gets from needing them......
Re: I took a Samsung A300 swimming once.
How many screws did you have left over after reassembling it? Any pingfuckits?
Re: I took a Samsung A300 swimming once.
I put a Motorola L6 through the washing machine on the 40 degree cotton setting. It worked fine after being dried out on the radiator for a few hours, and still works to this day, although it has long since been relegated to backup duties.
At a friend's bachelor's party....
... said friends brother could not find his phone, so he rang it from another phone to try and locate it. Cue a bright light starting to shine from the bottom of the pool. He dived in for it, took battery out and left it to dry for a day in the sun...and it still worked. It was a Nokia, don't know the model but well done to the Finns for producing a phone that not only survived a few minutes in the pool but was actually ringing while at the bottom of it
"and are genuinely surprised when they're told that a single drop of rain (in the right place) can render their pride and joy into an astoundingly expensive door wedge."
I would be surprised if a single drop of rain ruined my phone...I recently dropped my HTC Sensation in the bath...A proper dunking, fully submerged for at least 5secs...It didn't look happy, but after a few hours drying out (in nothing more than sunlight) it sprang back to life, and has been working for the past moth flawlessly (or as flawlessly as an HTC gets anyway). I didn't even have to take more than the battery out to do this either.
lucky you
My sensation was in my sports bag during a football match, one intense rain shower killed the screen. Sent it away for repairs (not covered under warranty) when it came back the touch screen was replaced but knackered witha fault very similar to the 'grounding fault'. Nothing I did could make it work properly so I just replaced it with an Xperia Arc.. which is just... not as fast :(
I do think phones should be capable of being submerged to be honest, I expect to be able to carry it anywhere in any weather. It is not an unreasonable design consideration.
Rather than re-type it, see:
I still carry the same phone. They don't make 'em like they used to ...
They are mobile!
People in the office who leave their phones on their desks and then walk off drive me potty. The thing rings and rings and their is no one to answer it. I'm always tempted to dunk their phone into their tea for them.
How many phones get killed because of fed up office colleges?
Re: They are mobile!
Place the phone in an empty cup, with a note: "Next time you leave your phone to ring and annoy everyone, the cup will have water in it"
It worked with one offender
Regarding the main article, I'm simultaneously amazed at phones that can't take a light rain shower (real need usage: Standing by your broken down car by the side of a motorway) and by people who think "mobile" means "use it anywhere, regardless of hazard & propriety"
Re: They are mobile!
Isn't that the one where (for a first offense) you switch the language settings of the phone over to something suitably annoying like Portuguese or Japanese, or (for a repeat offense) sign them up to any expensive and embarassing text messaging service you can lay your hands on?
Re: They are mobile!
I always leave mine at my desk, no matter where I am in the office... I do however leave it on silent, not even vibrate... something I consider a courtesy to everyone where I work.
Or, you know, just turn them off.
They have an off-switch, and just about everyone but my mum has voice mail so no urgent missive will be lost.
And no office college could complain about having their phone non-destructively turned off under circumstances of such boorishness. Neither could a colleague.
Single drop of rain
My Sony Ericsson K850i got a little drop of rain on its screen once, apparently in exactly the right spot. Rendered it almost completely unusable for a couple of hours. The K850i has three touch "sensitive" areas at the bottom of the screen that it uses for its left, middle, and right soft-keys. I'm not certain how these work, exactly, but the water which became trapped under the keypad bezel in that area certainly interfered with this magical operation.
General rule of thumb for me for a large portion of my short years on this rock: moisture + gadget = bad. Originally that first value was "wet," but experience showed that just simple moisture could cause problems. This new theory came about as a result of carrying my pocket calculator tucked "safely" inside my snow suit.
I have to ask, do people REALLY take their mobes into the shower?
Paris, one little drop of wetness and absolutely worthless for a couple of hours.
"...more slap-handed with their drinks..."
No wonder if you consider swills like Jack Daniel's, Budweiser...
Title should be '1 in 10 people are idiots.'
Anyone given their e-reader a dunk in the bath? That's gotta be more common than taking a phone with you...
"Three per cent of the thousand respondents regularly share a sauna with their phone"
Even if the phone could survive it, would the surface of the phone not get so hot that it would be uncomfortable to hold in your hand, let alone to your ear? Especially if it happens to have a metal casing, but plastic ones too, I would have thought.
I've seen plenty of people in our gym's sauna using their phone... seem to work fine for them.
I took a Casio waterproof video camera snorkelling on holiday a few years ago. It died after approximately 45 seconds on first use. I didn't even get to the coral reef :(
That'll be a British sauna, stoked up to something warm-ish, like 60C
Try it in a Finnish one, wound up to 95C.
You wouldn't be able to touch the bloody phone after 10 minutes! Even the glass of a bottle of beer gets unbearably hot after a short time. (But Finns have 'grunt' and will bear the temperature of the bottle as long as the alcohol hasn't been persuaded to evaporate...)
.. not that people take phones into showers (people are idiots) but that mobile phones - that would be, phones that are SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED for OUTDOOR use - can be killed by a drop of rain.
How the **** have phone companies been getting away with that one?! Do fit-for-purpose rules not apply?
Reminds me
So I arrive home to a disgruntled SWMBO whose phone was no longer working properly. "Did you drop it or anything?" I asked. "No nothing just stopped working." She replied in all innocence. Engage geek mode - rebooting, removing battery, restore to factory settings... the usual couple of hours of wasted time and frustration. The smart phone still acted as if it had a mind of it's own.
"So when did it start acting up?" I queried after another reboot into random behaviour.
"When I was in the bath." She said.
It's then I decided to sit her down and have "the talk" - where I explain that water and electircal devices are not friends.
Flushed with success
My 'better' half dropped hers down a public loo. Then asked me to fix it.
I couldn't I was too busy laughing.
Re: Flushed with success
Made me think of this story from El Reg a while back...
If people are taking their phones into showers and saunas, where are they keeping them? Can you now get a kangaroo style skin-pouch, in order to never be separated from your tech goodies? Or are people chatting away merrily, and just stepping into the shower with it held to their ear? In which case, that's incredibly rude to the person on the other end.
Or is one supposed to shower fully clothed? In which case I've been doing it wrong all my life. I can sell my washing machine, just have one set of clothes (which will always be as clean as I am) - and get an industrial tumble dryer big enough for me to fit in. Bonus, I can sell my bath towels too...
Re: Flushed with success
Or people could have them in their hands, maybe using them to browse the internet, maybe using them to post comments on El Reg while in the bath.
Just a possibility.

Baby dribble
My Nokia E72 seems to be fairly resistant to baby dribble. (And believe me, it's had some serious suck, er, soak tests.) I suspect drool is viscous enough that it doesn't easily get into the works.
Never killed a phone or electronic device due to water but my EVO 3d went flying out of my pocket the other day after I decided to try closing the hood of a car with my thumb under it. Cracked the aluminum bezel around the screen and its working fine....in a lot of ways even gets better reception with that 2 inch chunk missing....
Shower users...
Is that 8 per cent of all cell phone users? Or is it 8 per cent of all people who have killed a cell phone through water exposure, this is how they did it? It's a very, very different question.
Samsung fell out of my pocket and overboard while rowing on a Lake in Milton Keynes. Afterwards invested in one of those waterproof pouches that keep your phone dry and float.
N8 bog snorkelling special.
Poigniant timing seeing as I couldnt have got a better bullseye when killing mine last Friday.
Alarm not turning off, then trip, slip, splosh, fu*k, dead.
Still, the repalcement arrived on Saturday & updated to Belle immediately so all is not lost..
washing machine
My old Nokia candybar, incredibly, survived a full washing machine cycle in my jeans pocket. I took the cover off, gave it a blast with a hair drier, and left it a day or two, and when I put it back together it was totally fine.
Throughout Winter my SGS2 has been in my very warm shirt pocket, wrapped under several layers of clothing, it often comes out with a slight moist sheen on on the screen and continues to work fine. It has a "screen-guard" on the front so maybe that's catching the moisture and keeping it away from the actual glass.
Free Clue
The glass is not the bit you need to keep water off.
the eight per cent who take a handset into the shower
It's nice to shower with the one you love.
Mine, in an robust cloth case, as the Blackberry ones always break, fell off my belt into a freshly flushed loo, I grabbed it real quick and had no problems, the outside of the phone was just a little damp.
Nokia with deathwish?
Had an older Nokia Slide phone a good few years back, first time I was up to my neck in the River hamble when I realised it was still in my back pocket. Took it out, dried it and left it be, fine, worked a treat. Two weeks later on the same river, same spot working on the same boat I slipped and went off the side, on the way over belting the bit of wood it was sat on. It may have survived, I'll never know seeing as it cleared a railway bridge and came down a good hundred meters or more from where I was.
Re: Nokia with deathwish?
They were properly made in those days. I had an old Nokia company phone fly out of my pocket and bounce down the platform at King's Cross when I was running to catch a train. Didn't even scratch it, and it carried on working until the company supplied me with an "upgrade" a year or two later.
Shower user here
Okay, I don't try to talk on the damn thing, but my shower has a sizable recess for shampoo bottles and I stash my HTC Incredible in there, safely behind a huge empty bottle of T-Gel. I can listen to Slacker News or Rachel Maddow in the morning, and it amplifies the sound nicely to boot. No ill effects from the humidity.
Step 1, dress in bathing costume and tee-shirt.
Step 2, place Motorola Razor in pocket.
Step 3, install "rainbird" type lawn sprinklers and adjust, congratulating now-drenched self on wise choice of clothing.
Step 5, reach into pocket for phone...
nephew was doing what teenage boys do in the bath* when his mum walked in on him, to cover his embarassment he reflexively used his hands and dunked his Blackberry. Killed it totally, even after two days drying on the radiator it showed no life.
*BBMing his friends, what else?

I believe in destiny. But I don't believe that it just happens to you. I believe that we create our own destiny. I believe that if we listen really really carefully to our inner voices that it always guides us down the right paths. But no matter what our inner voice says, we always have the choice whether or not to listen. Or which path to take. So, the question becomes.. are you being guided by your inner self? Are you headed in the direction that you want to go? If you answer "NO"… ask yourself why not? If you answer "YES"…. keep going.

At the risk of sounding like a sycophant, PoliceOne Editor Doug Wyllie had it exactly right when he wrote on May 2, 2011 — hours after it had been revealed that Osama bin Laden had been killed by U.S. Navy SEALS — that American law enforcement "won't know for certain that a terrorist attack is under way until well into the event." Initially differentiating between a criminal event and a terrorist attack will difficult at best, especially since terrorists commit a variety of criminal acts to support their cause.
Terrorist organizations operating inside our borders are little more than organized criminal enterprises — terrorists are unstable violent criminals hiding behind a failed ideology. Some may be better trained and equipped, while others may be a lethal but rag-tag group of malevolent individuals determined to strike at authority no matter the cost. All pose a threat to U.S. citizens and law enforcement alike.
A History of Financing via Criminal Activity
These individuals and organizations invariably turn to crime to pay for what historian Dr. Michael Burleigh sees as their "hysterical rage" in an effort to compensate for "perceived slights" and "abstract grievances." He calls this the "myth of deep causes." For Dr. Burleigh, terrorists are "morally insane" without actually being "clinically psychotic." 1
By Doug Wyllie, PoliceOne Editor in Chief
There are observable behaviors and activities prior to a terrorist attack which generally represent the best opportunity to detect and disrupt the terrorists' plans. What follows is a synthesis of similar resources that can be found online as well as information gleaned from a variety of books I've read on the subject. This not intended to be a complete or comprehensive list. It's a starting point for a much larger discussion, so add your own thoughts on this in the comments area.
1.) Financing Activities — Watch out for evidence of transactions involving large cash payments, deposits, or withdrawals. These are not just signs of criminal enterprise, but also may indicate terrorist funding efforts. Collection/solicitation of financial donations and "white-collar" criminal activities are potential warning signs.
2.) Surveillance — Not just glassing a target with a pair of binoculars, a long camera lens, or a laser range finder, this can include timing the movement of vehicles and persons within an area, as well as simply transiting the area at various times of day and recording the activity levels at the target. Evidence of surveillance operations can also be found at totally different locations — if there are hand-drawn diagrams or building plans in the house you just did a warrant entry on, ask yourself "Why is this here? What could this be used for?"
Continue reading 8 pre-attack indicators of terrorist activity
Terrorists have a strong claim on the lunatic fringe of moral chaos.
Terrorists live by an over-arching ideology that guides malignant thought and violent action. The ideology may be a rejection of organized government (anarchists) or bastardized religious beliefs that serve as an excuse for indiscriminate violence cloaked as righteous indignation. This construct creates a Petri dish in which violence and profitable criminal acts quickly take precedence over adherence to an already savage ideology.
One of the most infamous terrorist organizations, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA), used counterfeit alcohol sales, robbery and kidnapping to help pay for their bloody excesses. The South Armagh Brigade monopolized cross-border smuggling by moving fuel, contraband cigarettes, livestock, and household waste between Northern Ireland and Ireland. The Brigade's former members have apparently clung to these smuggling routes and benefitted in the bargain.
As the PIRA's influence waned, what had once been practices to pay for a terrorist campaign morphed into profitable, purely criminal ventures. Former PIRA members have also taken entrepreneurship to a new level and developed terrorist consultancies, reportedly training other terrorist organizations around the globe. Many ex-PIRA's enforcers also provide, at least according to the British and Irish press, protection for a large number of pubs, nightclubs, and restaurants throughout Belfast.
The illegal drug trade — a $394 billion a year global concern — has also been a lucrative source of income. Though the PIRA has denied involvement in this particularly ruinous criminal activity — they claim, for example, to have killed Irish drug kingpins such as Martin "the General" Cahill and Seamus "Shavo" Hogan — it would be naive to believe that individual PIRA members have not prospered from the trade. Other terrorist organizations thrive on the practice.
The Threat to the United States
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) believes that nearly half of US-designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations are involved in global drug trafficking.2 In October 2008, the DEA crippled a money-laundering scheme that profited both Hezbollah and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). In March 2009 reports surfaced that Hezbollah was sharing Mexican drug routes into the United States. In May 2010 the Department of Homeland Security issued an alert for law enforcement to be on the lookout for an al Qaeda-trained Somali who had been secreted over the Mexican border by Ahmed Muhammed Dhakane, a known terrorist and human smuggler. The Border Patrol has reported an increase of Other Than Mexican (OTMs) nationals slipping over the border from Mexico.
Despite disingenuously reassuring noises from Washington, our southern border remains unsafe, in part because of the growing relationship between the drug cartels and terrorist organizations. Admiral James G. Stavridis, then commander of the U.S. Southern Command, told a Congressional panel in 2007 that a "nexus exists" between illicit drug trafficking and "Islamic radical terrorism." Hezbollah has been especially adept at using Mexican cartel drug smuggling routes for its own purposes. Their reach and influence is expanding rapidly.
Hezbollah's state sponsor, Iran, has opened six embassies in South America over the last five years. That country's rabidly anti-Semitic President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has close strategic and personal ties with Venezuela's vehemently anti-U.S. President, Hugo Chavez. Chavez has been an enthusiastic supporter of the FARC, a known narco-terrorist organization.
Political and narco-terrorism have also found a nexus in West Africa. The German online paper, Deutsche Welle, reported that in November 2009 the wreckage of a Boeing 727 was discovered in the Mali desert. Evidence found at the scene indicates that the European-bound aircraft, which apparently began its journey in Venezuela, was likely ferrying a large shipment of cocaine. At about the same time, three al Qaeda operatives were arrested in Ghana and extradited to the US, where they were charged in New York with violating US narcotics and terrorism laws.
In Afghanistan, British press reports have maintained that the Taliban receives between 40-60 percent of its operating funds from drug cultivation and distribution. Cultivated opium from Afghanistan, and particularly from the Helmand Province, is processed into heroin and then traded for guns in Tajikistan, which are then re-sold in Afghanistan for profit. The United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime estimates that literally tons of heroin are smuggled from Tajikistan into Central Asia in route to Europe, Russia, and China.3
All this provides lucrative funding sources for terrorists, who already have the available infrastructure to oversee the operations.
The crime and criminals associated with drug smuggling and terrorism will remain the greatest strategic threat to US law enforcement for the foreseeable future. The federal government's abject failure to protect our borders (despite the best efforts of the grossly understaffed Border Patrol and the DEA) will remain stagnant. The continuing fractious but superficial political debate will do nothing to increase the security of our citizens or the ability of local or state law enforcement officers to respond effectively to this criminal and national security crisis.

While visiting my local health food store recently, I came across some Jodier sugar free chocolate which I purchased out of curiosity. Maltitol is used as the sweetener,and is just about within acceptable cocao content at 52%. Lacking in aroma, I found the taste quite bland and hollow, with a curious metallic character and short finish. Reasonably smooth but uninteresting.
I checked their website and find that 'Jodier' is a combination of the names of the two owners, Jo and Didier, and that they have been in business since 2000. They seem to specialise in pralines and fancy chocolates – and on the evidence of this bar, I think they should stick to that!
Has anyone ever come across any decent sugar free chocolate? Can there really be any acceptable substitute?

First of all, that metallic taste you detected was caused by the maltitol. When used in lower amounts, its presence is much less noticeable, but since the bar you tried was a 52%, an astonishing 48% of the chocolate's mass was maltitol, which therefore increased that metallic flavor to an extreme high.
Sugar-free chocolates are either a hit or miss, imo. Venchi has done some good things with sugar-free and no sugar added chocolates, so check out their entire line, which mind you, is extensive. There's an American company called Chuao Chocolatier that allegedly produces some outstanding sugar-free bars, but since you're in Ireland, this is no good. Chocolates sweetened with fructose are good alternatives for diabetics, weight watchers, or just anyone concerned about refined sugar intake. As explained in other posts, fructose is a natural sugar produced by fruits and is processed by the body in the gut, which therefore does not require the use of insulin. Ultimately, it does not cause a rise in the glycemic index and is suitable for diabetics. Domori is producing some 80% sweetened with fructose, but alas, it is available as part of a larger (more expensive) box set that you might not find attractive anyway.
However, I believe Stollwerk has produced some fructose sweetened chocolate in the past. I do not know if they still do, but I distinctly remember seeing the bars not too long ago.
If you can handle 80% class chocolate, give it a try. Although they do contain sugar, the amount is minimal. Marcolini's Fleur de Cacao, Galler 85%, and Dolfin's 88% are perhaps the best candidates to acclimate your palate to this range.

|TOP 10 Green Celebrities
|Hot News - Green Gossip
Even though celebrities are best known for their extravagance, there are a fair few that do their part to make the world a greener place. The celeb world is in a frenzy as to who is the greenest of them all. But which stars really mean it?
We take a look at some of the entrants to the ecorazzi, and you can try to work out whether it's guilt, fashion or genuine concern motivating these 'green' celebs, and predict which ones will stay the course.
Just as a famous face can sell a perfume, stars of stage and screen can sell a cause and scores of them are doing more than merely putting their money where their mouth is.
Many celebrities talk the talk, but who gets to walk the big 'green carpet' of fame. After all It's easy to be green when you have the cash - by driving a hybrid or dressing your baby in organic clothing.
Top 10 green celeb's as voted by a poll of 100 entertainment writers...
1. Leonardo DiCaprio
Here's a list of some of the leading green celebrity players ...
Julia Roberts said "sounds corny, but it's true: It's our absolute responsibility to take care of our children so that we don't just throw up our hands and say, 'Wow, we pretty much f---ed this up. Good luck to ya in 50 years.She went on to say "Because we did create the problem little by little and that's the way we're gonna have to fix it, little by little, the best we can."
After becoming a spokeswoman for Earth Biofuels, a Texas based bio-diesel and alternative fuels company, she has advocated the need for more eco-friendly transport. As a parent, school busses are particularly important. "I just feel that any parent who's informed cannot put their kid on a school bus without saying to their school district or their congressman, "Hey, man, you gotta clean this up for us!' Because it's too easy not to fix".
Earth Biofuels said that Roberts will work with the company on a campaign to encourage the use of biodiesel in school buses nationwide.
Morgan Freeman and Willie Nelson also sit on the board of directors of Earth Biofuels and promote the use of renewable fuels.
Dominic Monaghan of The Lord of the Rings and LOST fame, is an earth lover and environmentalist. Does it more quieter then some other celebs.
Woody Harrelson has well and truly earnt his green stripes as has been living a greener than green life long before it was ever eco-chic.
Ed Begley Jnr has earnt his green stripes as he was green way before it became the popular thing to do. He took a lot of hits back in the day driving his electric car around. He stood out as the only vocal environmentalist in Hollywood for many, many years before others did so.
Darryl Hannah arrested in June 2006 for staging a 23-day tree sit-in during a bid to preserve an urban community garden in Los Angeles, travelled across America in 2005 in a biofuel car, her home is entirely off-grid. http://www.dhlovelife.com/v2/opening/
Scarlett Johanssen shows genuine concern and has used her fame to act as mouthpiece for a number of ethical causes she feels passionate about, particularly women's rights. She also takes a hard line on those celebs who do boost their profiles with green claims, saying "You're always going to have people who hop on the bandwagon when something is hip.
The important thing to remember is that women and children in Africa need help and that has nothing to do with my career."
Robert Redford is a celebrity pioneer when it comes to living the green life. His efforts are alive and well today, but he got started making the world a more eco-friendly place even before going green was 'the thing to do.'
The 'Sundance kid' took a keen interest at an early age, working at Yosemite National Park as a teenager following his bout with polio. His involvement with the Yosemite led him to produce and narrate Yosemite: The Fate of Heaven, an award-winning documentary about the national park and the environment in the late 1980s.
But Robert had many other projects he worked on before regaining his focus on Yosemite. In 1969 he purchased Utah land to create Sundance Village and went on to co-found the Sundance Institute in 1981.
Ted Danson founded a credible environmental organization American Oceans Campaign, while Harrelson is a major Hollywood actor who regularly puts himself on the line in direct action.
Alexandra Paul has been driving eV1's and RAV4's since probably 1990 and has been such an active proponent of comprehensive environmental causes.
Sting founder in 1989 of Rainforest Foundation to protect rainforests and their indigenous peoples.
Bono reportedly became interested in social causes after seeing an Amnesty International benefit show, The Secret Policeman's Ball. In the mid '80s he joined fellow philanthropic musician Sting on Amnesty's Conspiracy of Hope U.S. tour. U2 also performed for projects and events such as Band Aid and Live Aid, and Bono later teamed up with organizer Bob Geldof for Live 8.
Pierce Brosnan focuses on marine mammal and wetland protection, headlined Natural Resources Defence Council campaign against effects of Navy sonar on whales.
Brosnan, together with his wife Keely Shaye, has been drawn into a passionate leadership role in environmental issues. In 1997, Green Cross International President Mikhail Gorbachev presented Pierce with an Environmental Leadership Award, citing him as "a truly committed leader whose bold actions and clever voice have been instrumental in marine mammal protection, as well as that of fragile ecosystems." Additionally, they are devoted to women's healthcare and global children's issues.
Edward Norton launched the BP Solar Neighbours Program in 2003 which matches each celebrity purchase of a solar energy home system with a solar installation in a low-income family home in Los Angeles.
Jamie Oliver celebrity chef, plans to power his Cornwall, England, restaurant by wind turbines. In the UK over the last year many schools are trying to use organic suppliers in an attempt to clean up their image after Jaime Oliver lambasted them.
A top vote went to George Clooney. Not too sure if that was for being green, or for the eye candy award. However, the ladies' man is also known for his determined humanitarian efforts and his relationship with another lady … Mother Earth.
Which celeb earth lovers, deserve to walk the 'big green' carpet of fame?

Green Guide For Teachers
On the auspicious day of World Environment Day, the BNHS is happy to launch "Green Guide for Teachers"- a ready reference for all environmental educators. This book is a revised version of 'Green Kit" which was developed in 2002. The book is available in English and Marathi for free distribution among secondary school teachers all over Maharashtra.
The book has been financially supported by Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (English version) and MMR Environment Improvement Society (Marathi version). The book will be launched by Smt. Usha Thorat, Vice President, BNHS on 5 June 2011 at 6.00 p.m. at BNHS Conservation Education Centre, Goregaon.
About the Book
The Green Guide has been designed as a resource manual for environmental educators from formal as well as non-formal sectors and keeping in mind the need of interactive learning for students.
The guide is an excellent compilation of interesting facts and concepts from the field of wildlife and environment. It aims to enhance the classroom experience wherein the educators could use the information from the guide as brain teasers and make their teaching more effective.
Also to ensure that student projects are carried out in a systematic manner. It especially equips every educator with authentic and updated knowledge on natural history and environment, which is vital for environment education. It serves as singular, comprehensive resource on environmental education, thereby shifting the emphasis from referencing and compiling notes to actual learning and teaching by teachers.
The language of the guide is simple and the supporting illustrations and photographs make it interesting to read. The information has been compiled from various sources which includes BNHS publications, course material and various websites both national and international that provide information on environmental issues. The list is provided at the end of the guide.
Fact file
• Number of Chapters: Seven
• Chapter Contents:
- Did You Know (includes 226 facts)
- National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries (includes 12 popular national parks and sanctuaries with list 613 protected areas of India)
- Threatened Flora and Fauna (includes 44 species)
- Trade in Wildlife (includes 198 facts)
- Environmental Issues (includes 16 issues)
- Green Projects (includes 22 projects)
- Green Deeds (109 facts and eco-calendar)
• Number of pages: 160
• Printing: Four colour, paperback binding.
How to use the book?
The facts and information on natural history in the 'Did You Know?' section may be incorporated into any lesson to generate instant interest. The sections on 'Threatened Wildlife' and 'Trade in Wildlife' clearly describe our natural treasures and why they are in danger and furthermore, where they can be found is discussed in the 'National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries' section. 'Environmental Issues' brings to light the hazards faced by mother nature and 'Green Deeds' illuminates the path to curbing these by small actions that can be taken in everyday life. This would fulfill the objectives of environment education and help teachers to bring about the much desired attitudinal and action changes among the students.
Another aim of this guide is to make the differentiation between activities and projects and promote the project method as hands-on learning tool. The guide contains projects that can also benefit nature clubs within the school with its clearly outlined and easily executable projects from the 'Green Projects' section. The information and projects are suitable for all age groups and should be adapted to suit the needs of the educator. Along with this guide, it is essential to use current articles, videos and books to broaden the scope of the subject and stimulate discussion.

Treating sniffly kids
Parents of young children have been advised for quite a while now not to treat their kids with over-the-counter cough and cold medicines. So I asked Dr. Roxanne Allegretti, a local pediatrician, what she recommends to relieve congestion and coughs in suffering kids. Here's her advice:
- Try saline drops or a saline spray for nasal congestion. Or, "flush the sinuses with a "neti-pot" or other nasal rinse of saline," Allegretti said in an e-mail.
- A humidifier can help kids with a croupy cough or stuffed nose, but be sure to keep it clean so mold and bacteria don't build up in it.
- In otherwise healthy children, a nasal decongestant spray like Afrin or Neosynephrine can provide some immediate relief. "But it must be limited to ONLY 3 days of use or it can become addictive, and the lower strengths should be used for the younger kids (like Little Noses Decongestant Nose Drops)," Allegretti wrote.
- Benadryl can help some kids at bedtime. "I will occasionally recommend using an antihistamine like Benadryl at night to try to dry up the drippy nose and reduce the cough from post nasal drip. This is usually ok even in younger kids, but you would need to check with your health care provider for dosing on babies and toddlers, and make sure you are NOT using a combo antihistamine/decongestant or antihistamine/cough suppressant med."
As for those cough and cold medicines, "Under the age of 6, we are not supposed to use cough suppressants like dextramethorphan or decongestants orally like pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine," wrote Allegretti, who practices with Preferred Pediatrics in Fredericksburg.
Read labels to spot the ingredients, but dextramethorphan, for instance, is commonly found in Robitussin. As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, when it comes to children, these medicines "have not been proven effective and can be harmful."

Foxsports is across the bizarre backline the Brumbies have been saddled with, following a spate of injuries.
And Wallabies fullback Adam Ashley-Cooper will in the Brumbies' No.15 jersey for the first time this season.
Considering the lack of cohesion in the backs this season can things really get any worse?
On the other hand without Gerrard's boot turning the big Bulls around we're really going to have to find a way through the line.
I think the 3.5 start the TAB is giving the Bulls is rather generous.
Not that generous, The Bulls are only half a team without Matfield.
Gerrard being out is a big blow…he's been our form player all season (I'd go as far as the form Australian player)….otherwise I think the moves won't be too disruptive. Fairbanks & Smith will make a good centre pairing. Talk of Gerrard moving o/s is a worry.
Do you pay on the first date?

Since opening on Broadway last month, Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has been attracting Hollywood's A-list to Equus, the show in which he stars.
Julia Roberts, Liam Neeson, Natasha Richardson, Lisa Rinna, Jeff Goldblum, Emma Roberts (Julia's niece), and Nathan Lane are just some of the big names who've seen Radcliffe's critically acclaimed turn – and infamous 10-minute nude scene – in the play about a teenager's unhealthy obsession with horses.
"The draw for film stars is to witness first-hand one of their most successful colleagues pulling off such a major 180-degree turn from his established screen persona," says one theater insider, noting how far removed this Broadway character is from Radcliffe's G-rated Harry Potter.
The show, which opened on Sept. 25, runs through Feb. 8.
P.S. Katie Holmes is just a block away in Arthur Miller's All My Sons.

Last week's issue of Time magazine featured an article titled "Why the Food Movement Is Becoming an Environmental Force." Author Bryan Walsh offered tidy summaries of both the venerable environmental movement and the more recent food-reform movement, and noted points in the foodies' favor — chiefly personal relevance and the pleasure principle:
What's amazing is how quickly the food movement has become a measurable force in American society. Environmentalism can trace its origins to the Sierra Club founder John Muir pushing for the establishment of America's first national parks in 1899, but until recently, food wasn't really on the radar for progressives, beyond the mission of coping with world hunger. It wasn't until the food-safety scandals of the 1980s and '90s — followed by the publication of exposés like Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation and the growing threat of obesity — that Americans really started paying attention to what they were eating. Some of them weren't very happy with it — and they wanted a change.
. . . Why has the food movement sprouted so rapidly, even as traditional environmentalism has stalled? Simple: it's about pleasure. Before the political games, before worries about dead zones and manure lagoons, before concerns about obesity and trans fat, the food movement arose around a simple principle: food should taste better.
You probably can't find a more succinct wrap-up of the progress and issues facing both reform movements. Check it out.

Av99 Lyrics - Dynamite Boy
since you've been gone
i haven't done anything at all
i feel so alone
i drove onto another dead end road
everything is boring, i feel worthless
hidden by our everyday passion
since you've been gone
the world has changed, one's happiness brings pain
it's all said and done
i feel the same even when i'm far away
are you being strong?
have you done anything at all?
do you feel alone?
i wanna drive away on a better road
everyday is slow and i feel useless
i feel i'll never find that same affection
