Over the last week we have been limiting on our halibut trips with an average weight of 15 to 20 lbs. — perfect for the barbeque!
Salmon are slowly picking up with some big ones coming in. So far Trevor Fassett is still in the lead with a season-record 77 lb. halibut and Cecil Brown has the Chinook record at 31.5 lbs.
As the waters warm up the fish are more abundent, and Ling cod and halibut move in from the deep to shallower waters. In the last week we have seen our numbers of fish caught increase significantly.

hieros gamos
hieros gamos
(Greek: sacred marriage) Sexual relations of fertility deities enacted in myths and rituals, characteristic of societies based on cereal agriculture (e.g., Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, and Canaan). At least once a year, people dressed as gods engaged in sexual intercourse to guarantee the fertility of the land. The festival began with a procession to the marriage celebration, which was followed by an exchange of gifts, a purification rite, the wedding feast, preparation of the wedding chamber, and a secret nocturnal act of intercourse.

The three sisters lit up all five boroughs with their star power on Monday in New York, and we've got a look at their afternoon, right here on Radar.
Kim Kardashian radiates a look that says she's sexy, and she knows it, on the streets of Manhattan Monday.
The three sisters — Kim, 33, Kourtney, 35, and Khloé, 30 — sport different fashions during their weekday foray in The Big Apple.
The one-time sex tape star steadies herself on the sidewalk.
Khloé's considerable caboose steals this shot, amid Radar's new reports of an expert's assessment she's gained more than 30 pounds since falling for current beau French Montana.
She might technically be the middle child of the three sisters, but there's little doubt Kim is the leader of this Krew.
The "Bound 2" starlet's hourglass figure is accentuated by this pencil skirt.
Kim's lavish tastes and lifestyle is well reflected by the yacht in the background of this shot.
The busty beauty was on hand for a fundraiser for military moms.
Pregnant Kourtney has dressed strategically and skillfully the past few weeks, concealing her growing baby bump.
Kim, in a CNBC interview, griped that there's been numbers of times she "just wanted to be home with [her] baby" North, but work obligations called.
The socialite waves to her adoring public.
Beautiful mother-of-two Kourtney's gams look excellent in her black-and-white get-up.
The secondary sisters have had a busy summer East of the city, filming the spinoff "Kourtney & Khloé Take The Hamptons."
Meanwhile, in France Monday, their sister Kendall Jenner continued her modeling career, walking the runway for Chanel.
The three sisters lit up all five boroughs with their star power on Monday in New York, and we've got a look at their afternoon, right here on Radar.

With no way to stop the predatory lionfish that have made their way to North Carolina waters, researchers at the Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research lab in Beaufort call for local divers to help curtail the invasion.
Debby Boyce slid into the waves off the coast of North Carolina and slowly swam to the yellow anchor rope leading down to the Rock Pile.
It was the summer of 2005, and she hadn't been to her favorite dive spot for years, despite owning a SCUBA shop and spending her days talking up the diving off North Carolina's coast. Her business had demanded much of her time. Discovery Diving grew from a tiny store on Beaufort's main drag to a full-service shop and diving service in a sprawling old fish house overlooking Town Creek just north of the inlet.
About 26 miles southeast of the Beaufort Inlet, the Rock Pile benefits from an eddy that pushes warm water from the Gulf Stream around the reef, enabling colorful tropical fish to thrive. Boyce couldn't wait to see big schools of purple reef fish and angels swarming over the rocks. She knew baby moray eels darted around the crevices and flounder hugged the white sand around the rocks.
With nets in hand to restock the massive aquarium that greets customers in her shop, she swam toward the Rock Pile. Slowly following the rope, she could feel her stress level drop with each kick. She looked forward to getting on the bottom and just sitting there. That was what she loved about diving. The peacefulness of just sitting on the sandy bottom and watching the fish around her.
But when Boyce got to the bottom, the beautiful schools of fish were gone. The Rock Pile — the most tropical place off the coast of North Carolina in diveable range — had gone from brilliant colors to barren. The symphony of sea life swirling around the rocks had been replaced by hundreds of lionfish.
For years, handfuls of the ravenous and venomous lionfish, which are natives of the western Pacific, had been seen off North Carolina's Atlantic coast. But now, everywhere Boyce looked, she saw them.
Hundreds of them.
Kicking her way up the yellow anchor line again, Boyce was devastated. The ocean was her refuge, and she took it personally that lionfish were eating it up. Soon, she heard of other pristine dive sites almost absent of local marine life.
"Our love is the ocean. It would be like seeing a bunch of starving children. If you ever saw that, you'd have to do something," Boyce says. "And that is what this is. You're seeing a really negative thing happening, and since there is something we can do, we'd like to try."
For her it was simple. Letting the lionfish go unchecked was out of the question. Because it's almost impossible to catch lionfish with a hook and line, most people didn't know about or understand the devastation. But divers did, and they could get down to the bottom and get them.
Using her shop's newsletter, she sent out a call to arms to divers across the country, recruiting them for a series of "roundups" to capture and kill the lionfish. The call has morphed into a huge team effort between divers and scientists fighting a lionfish invasion.
"We get such enjoyment out of the ocean that we want to give back a little bit," Boyce says. "We know the population growth is so huge; we know we won't be able to get rid of them. All we hope to do is control the explosion to the point that it is not as devastating."
Aggressive invasion
The first lionfish was photographed off the North Carolina coast in August 2000. A popular saltwater aquarium fish, they are hard to miss with distinctive red, maroon, and white stripes and a huge fan-like pectoral fin and dorsal fins with long, venomous spines.
How the fish got to the southeastern United States is up for debate. Most accounts blame the invasion in part on a group of fish accidentally released from a home aquarium during Hurricane Andrew in 1992. But Dr. James Morris, an ecologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, says it is more likely that lionfish were probably released on purpose when people no longer wanted them in their aquariums because they grew too large.
Morris's lab in Beaufort is the leading authority on the lionfish invasion in the United States. Its scientists have been working on the lionfish problem for nearly a decade.
The fish grow to as big as footballs on the east coast, slightly larger than their Asian brothers, because nothing is hunting them. Lionfish eat anything that gets near them, and they reproduce at a staggering rate. They reach maturity within two years and can eat fish half as large. The lionfish are so voracious, they will throw up food to make room for more.
Females reproduce year-round and can spawn 30,000 eggs every four days. Their eggs and larvae travel in currents south to the Caribbean islands and up the coast. Because they are tropical fish and sensitive to water temperature, they haven't been seen in great numbers north of Hatteras where the water is too cold.
Lionfish spread from the Florida Keys and to the Caribbean's coral reefs and wreaked havoc on the ecosystem by limiting the diversity found at places like the Rock Pile that once teemed with life.
"The more biodiversity, the healthier it is. When you have an invasion, the biomass changes," Morris says.
North Carolina usually ranks as one of the top dive locations in the country. The state is known for providing divers with great wreck dives, including German World War II U-boats and a myriad of sea life from rays and sharks to tropical fish from the Gulf Stream.
"It is really phenomenal diving, but one of the big portions of it is being gobbled up," Boyce says. "A whole environment that we'd been used to seeing is changing in a huge way."
Discovery Diving is now ground zero for lionfish hunters in North Carolina. Boyce has about 30 divers who regularly hunt lionfish; plus, she recruits hunters from out of town.
Catch of the day
In July, the Northeast Wyoming Dive Club (N.E.W.D., for short) came down to Beaufort to slay some lionfish. After more than a day of delays, traffic, and several connecting flights, the divers shuffled into the upstairs classroom above Discovery Diving.
Steve Broadhurst, the dive safety officer at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, taught a short class on lionfish to the N.E.W.D. divers, who crowded around the mismatched tables and office chairs.
Sipping cold beer and eating slices of pizza, the Wyoming divers listened as Broadhurst walked them through the invasion. The map showed a few sightings, marked by red dots, near Florida in the late 1990s, but as the years ticked off, the red dots spread like chicken pox up the east coast.
"It's a free-for-all out there right now," Broadhurst says.
The plan was to dive to the Naeco, a tanker wreck about 45 miles from Cape Lookout. The hunters would dive to the bottom at about 130 feet and catch the lionfish that swarm around the wreck with long three-prong spears. Lionfish are easily approached.
"They are about the dumbest fish I've seen," Broadhurst says. "I've stabbed one, and it fell off the spear but didn't swim away. I swam up and stabbed it again."
The divers will work in teams of two. One spears the fish. The other puts it in a mesh bag. Working in teams is important because it lowers the chances of brushing a lionfish's spines. The venomous sting feels like a bee sting on steroids.
The hour-long presentation ended with a picture of a lionfish and "Eat Me" in yellow letters underneath. That is the ultimate goal for Boyce and her hunters. To turn lionfish into the catch of the day.
Once captured, the lionfish can be prepared like any other fish. Lionfish have received a warm reception from chefs and restaurants. Chefs in New York, Chicago, and Washington served lionfish caught during roundups last year. They taste like triggerfish or black sea bass.
"They are pretty tasty, and there is something satisfying about eating what you catch," Broadhurst says.
The Wyoming divers left the meeting pumped. They just wanted to get out and kill some lionfish.
But sometimes just getting to the fish offshore is a chore in itself.
The hunt goes on
There are several obstacles stopping lionfish from becoming a commercial fish: The distance to the Gulf Stream. The depth. The fact there is no easy way to catch them en masse.
"For recreation divers, the people we're catering to, it's a pretty deep dive. We're asking these people to tax themselves [beyond what is] recreation to go out there and work at 140 feet of water and catch these fish," Boyce says. "We are sort of sitting on the fence here [between] something that really needs to be done and something [where] we don't want anybody to get hurt."
And sometimes, the seas have other plans.
The next morning, the Wyoming divers boarded the boat and started toward the Naeco. Less than an hour from shore, the waves started to hammer the hull, rolling the boat from side to side. One of the divers sat quietly by herself with a far-away look on her face. Minutes later, she was at the rail throwing up. Soon, she was joined by a half-dozen other seasick SCUBA cowboys. With the boat hours from the Naeco, the captain decided to call off the hunt.
Boyce was hoping to have lionfish on tables in the cities this summer. But the rough seas make it hard. The fact that the lionfish were so far off the coast is a good thing. A cold winter in 2010 and low water temperatures killed off a lot of the fish and forced them deeper and farther off the coast. But the cold is only a minor setback. Because the lionfish can reproduce quickly, it's only a matter of time before they'll be back in greater numbers.
And Boyce and her band of hunters will scramble back on their boats with spears ready. It's more than just saving her business and North Carolina's dive sites. It's about preserving what made her fall in love with the ocean and what keeps her in sleepy Beaufort.
"The diving is just a means to get to there," she says. "It's not the end in itself. You can dive in a pool, but that wouldn't be a wonderful experience. Anybody that comes on behind us is never going to experience what we've seen and experienced for years. Hopefully, someday it will be back to the way it was."

We are not rejecting T20. Our players skill and style also suits with shorter vertion, so no doubt we must embrace T20. But at the same time we must play Test cricket with equal seriousness. Test cricket may not have money but that's real cricket, no other form of Cricket can match it. It tests your skill to maximum. Can't live without it. We must prevail in Test Cricket.

Control valve modernization is surely going one step ahead with adding Intelligence to the control of process flow. However it surely comes at a steep price. Metso recently identified the benefits of control valve modernization as below
1. Improved control valve accuracy.
2. Increased control valve reliability and availability, because potential valve failures can be predicted.
3.Seamless integration to modern DCS systems, which releases hidden intelligence in the valve controllers.
4.Enables process optimization during plant run time because online control valve performance monitoring always offers up to date information about control valve performance.
5.Enhanced maintenance efficiency, because maintenance actions can be targeted only at control valves that actually need maintenance. investment payback within months.
Finally several factors such as valve type and nominal size together with control valve condition affect valve modernization investment. However with an accurate payback time it certainly seems to be the trend going ahead. SUBSCRIBE to our blog for the latest posts. BUY this link Visit our webpage

The plan envisions a public park with an improved boat ramp, additional parking, pathway access, green space and a protected eddy for swimming. The project would be coordinated with the pathway bridge proposed for the same location. |
Snake River Parcels ProjectThe Fund is currently working with the Bureau of Land Management to fuel the implementation planning for their 2004 Snake River Management Plan. The Plan calls for the transfer of ownership/management of their Teton County holdings– all of which are river front. Working with other federal and local public agencies and non-governmental organizations, the Fund seeks to find management solutions that will insure public recreational access and habitat and resource conservation on these parcels. Click Here to learn more! |
Ongoing Work and Programs
River Personnel! The Fund supplies monies for River Rangers and a river volunteer program. These folks are at the river daily through the high season to ensure our visitors safety and fun. They are trained in first aid, AED use, river rescue and help guide traffic, answer questions, inflate and move rafts. They also monitor and maintain the restrooms, trails and boat ramps.
Resource Protection and Restoration Projects! The Fund puts its financial resources towards our natural resources. On the ground projects like garbage removal, restrooms and recycling reduce non-point source pollution. Trail building and maintenance reduces erosion, sediment overload and spread of invasive vegetation. Ramp maintenance reduces erosion and helps to stabilize surrounding stream bank structures.
Education and Stewardship! The Fund participates in several events throughout the season. The Summit on the Snake– a day of presentations on the Snake and the issues that effect her– brings river rats to the banks of the Hoback every spring. Snake River Days, a yout watershed camp, and a 5th graders day on the river for all Teton County students.

Anne C. Hall
The landscape of New Hartford and Barkhamsted is dominated by three major reservoirs: Nepaug, Compensating (or Lake McDonough), and Barkhamsted, all owned by the Metropolitan District Commission, which is the water company for the greater Hartford region. These three reservoirs were built between 1909 and 1940 to supply Hartford with water for drinking, sanitation, and fire-control.
Today these reservoirs and their immediate protected watersheds are a cherished parts of the landscape. However, their history is a wonderfully complex tangle fraught with tensions between urban and rural regions, between governments and individuals. It is the story of cities and villages, of factories and of farms, of engineering challenges and successes.
Nonetheless, a starting point can be found in the riddle of the Compensating Reservoir's name: it is part of a drinking water system but does not supply drinking water; it was built as compensation for another reservoir, but the original people compensated were not in New Hartford or Barkhamsted, though it flooded the lower section of Barkhamsted Hollow, once a small village. This apparently baffling name can be explained by examining Connecticut law and the matter of water rights. Usually the term 'water rights' brings to mind the mythical or not-so-mythical 'water wars' of the west. In the western United States, water rights operate under the system of 'prior appropriation' in which the person holding the earliest title has the first claim on the entire water source. However, in the eastern states the water rights are 'regulated riparian rights'; though this is a complex legal structure, the two most important points are: that the owner of the land adjacent to the river has a right to use it and that the people downstream and upstream have a right to expect, and use, the natural flow of the river. Today this balancing act is achieved with a complex process of fees and permits; but a century ago this process was only beginning.
When the Nepaug Reservoir's construction began in 1909, it was apparent that the demand placed on it would reduce the flow of the Nepaug and Farmington rivers to less than what was needed for the industrial power plants downstream, especially those in Collinsville, Unionville, and Tariffville. These factories were mainly owned by the Collins Company, the Union Water Power Company, and the Farmington River Power Company. Today, only the Farmington River Power Company still exists; it is owned by the Stanley Works and operates the Rainbow Dam on the lower Farmington River. These factories were major industries; they could not afford to lose the water power and Hartford could not afford to buy them out.
The Hartford Water Commission, the forerunner to the MDC, agreed to create another reservoir on the East Branch of the Farmington; water would be released from it to compensate for water not released from the Nepaug, thereby maintaining a constant rate of flow in the lower Farmington. The industries could not be bought, but the small farms of Barkhamsted Hollow could be and were. And so, in 1920 construction began at Richard's Corner in New Hartford on what would become the Compensating Reservoir. It was only after the 1936 flood that the name, 'the Compensating Reservoir' had any direct meaning for the inhabitants of New Hartford and Barkhamsted. At that time, the MDC granted the towns the use of the reservoir for recreation, as compensation for the loss of the Greenwoods dam on the Farmington; an inadvertent doubling of the name's meaning. A century later, it is that compensation which remains well known; though the old factory water rights remain traceable to this day.

Sounds a Bit Like Ron Paul: New Chinese leader Xi Warns U.S. Against Meddling in the Affairs of Other Nations
Submitted by emalvini on Sat, 03/23/2013 - 20:29Sounds a Bit Like Ron Paul: New Chinese leader Xi Warns U.S. Against Meddling in the Affairs of Other Nations
By Vladimir Soldatkin
MOSCOW | Sat Mar 23, 2013 8:48am EDT
(Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping warned against foreign interference in the affairs of other nations during a speech in Moscow on Saturday, sending a signal to the West and echoing a message often repeated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Permanent U.N. Security Council members with veto power, Russia and China have frequently teamed up diplomatically to blunt the influence of the United States and its NATO allies and have blocked three draft resolutions on Syria.
"We must respect the right of each country in the world to independently choose its path of development and oppose interference in the internal affairs of other countries," Xi told students at an international relations school.

Until the resources start to run out lol
Mentioning RP and a hard core Marxist-Leninist in the same context is morally repugnant to free men and women all over. Of course the Chinese are going to say this. The Bolsheviks said they were going to give the people 'land and peace' :P
What to you think would happen to a country, say in Africa where the Chinese say were profitably entrenched for 20 years and were told to pack up shop and business arrangements have been made with another political jurisdiction?
If they have no qualms about treating their peeps like garbage, why would it be any different abroad?

Man United opens 12-point lead in Premier LeagueThe Associated Press | February 11,2013LONDON Manchester United opened a season-high, 12-point lead in the English Premier League, defeating Everton 2-0 Sunday on goals by Ryan Giggs and Robin van Persie.
The 40-year-old Giggs beat American goalkeeper Tim Howard in the 13th minute at Old Trafford to become the only person to score in every season of the Premier League, which began in 1992-93. Van Persie scored in first-half stoppage time, his league-high 19th goal this season.
Seeking to extend its record for league titles to 20, Manchester United (21-3-2) has 65 points, while defending champion Manchester City (15-3-8) has 53 following Saturdays 3-1 loss at Southampton.
Weve got to win our games regardless of what happens with City and if we concentrate on our own games, well be OK, United manager Alex Ferguson said.
United plays Real Madrid Wednesday in the first leg of the second round of the Champions League.
I was going to make about seven changes to the game but when I saw yesterdays result, I changed that because we knew if we got a result it would put us in a fantastic position, Ferguson said.
Everton (10-4-12) is sixth with 42 points, six behind fourth-place Tottenham for the final Champions League berth.
Also Sunday, Aston Villa climbed out of the relegation zone by beating West Ham 2-1 and Christian Bentekes penalty kick in the 74th minute and Charles NZogbias goal on a free kick in the 78th. Ashley Westwood had an own goal past American goalkeeper Brad Guzan in the 87th for Aston Villa (5-12-9), which ended an eight-match winless streak and climbed out of the relegation zone.

Messis goal was his league-leading 35th in the league this season and 46th in all competitions. It was the 299th of his Barcelona career in all competitions.
David Villa, Cristian Tello, Iniesta and Gerard Pique scored second-galf goals for Barcelona (20-1-2). It opened a 12-point lead over second-place Atletico Madrid (16-4-2), which played later at Rayo Vallecano. Defending champion Real Madrid (14-5-4) is 16 points back.

AC Milan (12-7-5) dropped into fifth with 41 points, two behind Inter Milan (13-7-4), which beat Chievo Verona 3-1 on goals by Antonio Cassano in the second minute, Andrea Ranocchia in the 26th and Diego Milito in the 50th.

I am currently building a single family home in MD and our builder (Beazer Homes) has just switched their building practices in MD to adhere to the 2012 Energy Codes.
Some of the 2012 Energy Code changes include:
R15 insulation on 2x4 framed walls R19 insulation on 2x6 framed walls R38 insulation in the attic low e windows additional wrapping of all ducts higher standards for blower door testing no recessed lighting on the top floor whole house mechanical ventilation system (I think)
B/c my house will have the additional 1" dow board insulation along with the other energy code changes, is it possible for a house to be sealed too tightly? As part of the redesign and to conform to the new codes, my builder is no longer offering dual zone HVAC systems. In the past there was always a system for the top floor and system for the basement and main level. My house has 3,000 sq ft between the main level and top floor and a finished basement of probably an additional 1,000 sqft. Here are the specifics of my HVAC system: Manufacturer is Goodman and the AC model # is GSX13 (4 tons) and the furnace is GKS9 (90,000 MBTU/h). This system is single zone.
I know very little about HVAC systems but this seems like it will not be able to properly regulate the temp throughout the house. Based on the info above what is your opinion? Is there anything I should ask the builder to change (although they probably would not)? Thanks, |

it takes more than adding blue board on the exterior of walls to make a house tight enough to require make up air. however, getting a house tight enough to require make up air isn't a bad thing. in my world..we call that build it tight, ventilate it right. if the house tests (with a blower door) below zoned systems are not achieved with multiple systems. if the ducts are designed well, there should be I don't get the bit about additional wrapping of ducts. one of the benefits of building better..and foam sheathing also is the goodman 13 SEER? I'm sure they will change whatever you are willing best of luck. |

About me and my passion for boats
I don't know if I'd call it a passion for boats. or just a passion for water. That said, the lake just isn't as fun without a boat! I love hanging out in the sun, on the water, with friends and a beer. Even though my first boat is kind of a fixer upper, I still love it, or maybe just the idea of the fun it'll bring. Some say the two greatest days of a boat owners life is the day they buy it and the day they sell it, but for me the greatest days are the ones spent on it. Now that I own one, I'm not sure that I'll spend another summer without one.

As Dan Quayle would say, "One word sums up the performance of this product and that one word is, 'It is overrated'." If you have combo/oily skin you may think to yourself, "I have heard that this is an excellent cleanser from many people, dermatologists and magazines. I should buy it". If you are one of those people, then you are a lemming who is about to fall on your face and slip and slide off the cliff because of the grease this face wash has not effectively reduced. I was one of those people. It hurt. Cetaphil did not ruin my skin but it sure as hell didn't do anything to help it either. There are better, and cheaper, products out there for people with normal to oily skin.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This cleanser really dried out my combo/oily skin. I'm all for less oil, but this made my face feel irritated and stripped. I only starting to use this because I was starting Tretinoin cream and it calls for a gentle, soap free cleanser. I recently switched to Purpose instead, after reading reviews on here and I am very satisfied. For those of you that need a good gentle cleansing face wash and aren't happy with Cetaphil, I do suggest trying Purpose.
Update: yeah.... no. This is not for me. My skin has become so oily and started breaking out. Definitely not strong enough for my acne prone skin. Better for people with better skin who dont benefit from using salicylic acid, ahas, etc. so disappointed with this.
This cleanser is pretty great. Ive been using products with retinol and aha's lately, nothing prescription strentgh but enough to completely dry out my face. I knew using those i needed a gentle cleanser when washing my face. I thought what i was using was gentle but it wasnt. My face was dry and flaky even though i have oily skin. I decided to buy this based on good reviews and im glad i did. I nevet depend on any cleanser to remove makeup so after i take it off with a towelette i wash with this and my face feels so clean while feeling moisturized at the same time. Its helped my skin dramatically. I will be repurchasing. Almost perfect! Minus the awful smell lol
My dermatologist recommended Cetaphil several years ago, and I'm so glad he did- every product that I use from this company is fabulous. This cleanser, in particular, works so well. Some complain that the original Cetaphil doesn't get their skin clean enough- well, this certainly gets your skin clean, without drying you out. My skin NEVER feels tight after I use this. I am extremely acne prone and have sensitive skin, and this product has never exacerbated either problem.

More reviews by AntiqueGlitter
The only thing this cleanser is good for is as a general facial cleanser, which is pretty much all I use it for. It doesn't really do a whole lot except cleanse your skin. That's definitely not a complaint, since it's doing its job, but I'm honestly not used to using skincare products that don't have some other kind of "thing", like meant for acne, or has microbeads/granules, or something like that.
I just use this about twice a day: once afterschool to remove my makeup, and again at night to clear my pores. This isn't a deep-cleaning cleanser, as it doesn't remove all of my foundation (I used a toner to test that out), but it does a decent job.
My only real gripe is that it has a very strong fragrance. I HATE skincare products with fragrance. The scent of this one isn't even a good scent--it smells like a powdery grandma perfume.
But, for only $9 (for 8 fl. oz.), the fragrance is tolerable. If you think about it, all the other cleansers cost the same, but for less product (usually only 5-6 fl. oz.).
Would I repurchase? No. It just doesn't do enough for me.
I alternate between this and Olay cleanser. It is a decent cleanser that will leave your skin feeling clean, but not too dry. It does a good job of getting off makeup for the most part.
Ok I used this for a little while with success. But then I started bouncing around using different facial cleansers. I started using purpose & Retin a. Because of he Retin a & getting closer to 30 my skin changed. The other day I decided to try Cetaphil again because I remembered it being very gentle. Nope, didn't work. It irritated my skin. I threw it out after a couple of days & bought some purpose.
Well, first of all let me say I tried just about everything for my oily
skin. I have been using proactive, very expensive over time, and
it caused my pores to increase in size to the point I could
actually squeeze oil from my nose. I have gotten so sad over
this because I think I have a pretty nice face:D, ANY WAY,
thanks to all the BEAUTIFUL ppl who write reviews because I bought
Cetaphil, and I was like this is crazy two days of using this
and my pores look less open, skin softer, no irritants, and
i break out easily from products, so for 7 bucks, vs 20
a month with proactive, I know I am about to stock up
on Cetaphil, I am a realist, proactive gave me a shiny
oil look. Cetaphil is better.

thee best acne cleanser in the entire world. my boyfriend lived with me for a summer and he brought this with him from home, I used it, both our skin cleared and felt so soft. we had opposite skin too. he unfortunately had disgusting pimples all over his face, I didn't even wanna look at him when I sat behind him in high school, but all of a sudden I started noticing he wasn't looking bad and just had the skin discolorations where acne used to be. had no idea we'd end up getting together, but we did and I was the girl who never had acne except for bumps on my forehead because of my bangs. he would wash his face, I would do the dry wipe off. I love that you can do both. what a genius product. without this, I can't find anything that rids me of those stubborn bumps! I have a 4 for packaging. not because it's not cute, but because I think the pump has too much power somehow. meaning when you dispense it, it f*king shoots out somewhere else, like the sink counter or your shirt. they should definitely fix that. seriously the pump isn't pointing down, it somehow points like out at you and that really bothers me. I know cetaphil wants to be obvious that they are a unisex company but their products are SO ugly haha. anyways, whether you just have bumps or you have an unfortunate pizza face, try this, it is amazing and wonderful and soft and lovely and fragrance free and just a clear magic thing.
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I always thought this product was a joke. How could something so gentle and inexpensive cure my severe acne that creams and washes triple the price both over the counter and rx couldn't do? But it's been three weeks and my skin hasn't been this clear in awhile, I'm not all the way clear yet but it's a major improvement, the smell is strong and horrible though

The green lipped mussel is rapidly gaining attention as a natural supplement for relief from chronic joint and inflammatory illnesses such as arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatism.
The green lipped mussel is rapidly gaining attention as a natural supplement for relief from chronic joint and inflammatory illnesses such as arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatism.
Native to New Zealand, these shellfish have been consumed by the Maori people for thousands of years. The health benefits of the green lipped mussel came to the attention of westerners in the 1960s because of the notable absence of inflammatory illness among the Maori people.
Further studies have shown that this unique shell fish is a rich natural source of Omega 3 fatty acids and naturally contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulphate.
Omega 3 is an essential nutrient for our bodies and helps with blood clotting, cell production and protection from heart disease. Chondroitin and glucosamine are both components of natural cartilage and are used within the body to build cartilage. Chondroitin is known to block enzymes that break down cartilage, helping to protect joints from inflammatory disease.
These potent nutrients provide protection, repair and relief to inflamed and worn out joints affected by arthritic illness, and Green Lipped Mussel is a rich, natural source of all three.
Whilst this natural wonder is best consumed direct, it's difficult for people outside of New Zealand to have access to fresh Green Lipped Mussel, so natural supplements are becoming more common.
Recent media attention in Australia has also drawn attention to the unique qualities of the Green Lipped Mussel and its benefits for relieving joint inflammation and pain associated with arthritis.
While early converts are already enjoying the health benefits of this colourful mollusc it seems certain that the Green Lipped Mussel is soon to become yet another widely known and used natural supplement for the treatment and relief of arthritis.

I'm One of the Lucky Ones
Aug 01st, 2011 07:05 PM By KenI'm a 49 year old, twice married man, who, after years of struggle, and self-denial, came out last year. The first person I told was my closest friend, a married woman, who is also a co-worker. She, of course, decided that I needed a "Coming Out" party and started inviting various friends and coworkers. At first, this made me a bit nervous. We do work with a few homophobic people. The truth is that everyone at work simply accepted this "new" me as me!
A funny little side story to this. When I get into a bad mood at work, my coworkers say that my "evil twin", Ted, is in for the day. Just before our staff Christmas party last winter, I was mentioning to my friends at work that I wondered what would happen if I told management that I wanted to bring "Ted" with me as my date. Another of my coworkers, one of the ones that I thought was the most homophobic overheard us, and in a very indignant manner, said that management had no right to say anything and that I should bring whoever I wanted as my date. I was very pleasantly surprised by his tone and his total acceptance of me and my sexual identity!!
The Workplace "Cocoon"
Aug 01st, 2011 05:09 PM By CarolI've read a lot of the stories on here, and it seems most of us have one thing in common: the workplace "cocoon". I'm sure you'll know what I'm taking about. Even if you work in an accepting environment, you still shield major parts of your personal life from your co-workers. You refuse to indulge personal information, regardless of acceptance. This defense mechanism shouldn't have to happen, yet it does.
I haven't been out very long (I came out as bi during a very drunk Christmas '09, and then as fully gay in March of this year), but I'm still hiding who I am to different people. I'm out to most of family and all my friends, but that's it.
I'd just as soon hide that part of myself from my co-workers than divulge that information, mostly because it's safer and easier. In this economy, you never know if an employer will cut labor (especially true here in GA), and I don't think 3 months is enough time to trust your coworkers enough with that information. (I say 3 months because my last 2 jobs laid me off after that time.)
My last job was working in a factory. I had one co-worker out of several hundred that I trusted enough to come out to. I came out to her around the time I came out to my family. She was accepting and proud of me, like I knew she would be. But I still found myself talking in hushed tones to her about it, or pulling her away from other ears, or using gender neutral pronouns just out of habit.
Equality matters to me, but we're a long way away from the acceptance we deserve. Until then, as a fail safe, I'd just as soon keep my mouth shut.
Why I Can't Hate
Aug 01st, 2011 05:05 PM By ArielHello, my name is Ariel, I am just about 19 and I live in a small town in Texas. I am Christian, and heterosexual and have gay friends, and it hurts me when I see the gay community under fire for the way they are.
To see them turned away from careers, unable to get married, not being able to adopt because they're living in the world. I can relate to this pain in more ways than people can imagine, because along with being heterosexual, and Christian, I am also African American one of the few on my campus.
I go through days where I am looked at hatefully, and told hateful remarks. So I understand what hate based on uncontrollable circumstances feels like. That's why I can't hate anybody based on their sexual orientation, race or religion. That is why I give a damn.
Working at the Post Office
Aug 01st, 2011 04:04 PM By GuillaumeI'm a French gay guy and let just say that France is kind of a cool place to live when you're gay! Even if government has not allowed gay marriage nor adoption yet, recent studies show that an important majority of French people is in favor! Mentalities change and people start to give a damn.
Well, this is not what I was aiming to talk about.
I'm a student and during summer break, I work at a "center of mail distribution of the Post" ( sorry, I don't really know how you call it in the US) of some town near my home. I've worked there for two summers now and I'm starting to know everybody who work there and I've learned to really like some of my coworkers whom some of them became friends.
Even though I find it pleasant to work there, there's only two colleagues of mine which are aware of my sexual orientation. I'm out to all of my college friends, to most of my family, but when it comes to workplace, it gets harder to just say "ok, I'm gay". Indeed, workplace is where I've heard most of the sexually offensive "jokes" so far. "Come on, don't be a fag", or "this client's just a queer" are two in many sentences I have to ear and endure everyday.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that even if I'm cool with my sexuality, I can't help but fear to let slip a sentence like "I met someone this weekend, HE is…" I know I won't be beaten up or anything, but I fear and I know that the look of most of my colleagues will change and I just don't want that. Having to go to work everyday knowing that only two persons will talk to you and the rest will stare at you and give you the "don't touch me AIDS carrier" look, is simply unbearable.
I know that I haven't suffered any great discrimination but I wanted to share this story anyhow, just to prove that we need people to give a damn, it's so important not to feel alone at work, it's where you spend most of your day and it can't be a place to be feared.
Thank you for reading my story and I hope my English wasn't to confused
Total Waste?
Jul 01st, 2011 10:16 AM By DANIELLEI was working for a major bank in Florida, and was constantly being harassed by my boss. When I finally told him I was a lesbian, he proceeded to call me a waste of space and fired me. We are in the middle of a lawsuit right now. Who I choose to love does NOT make me a waste.
My Equality
Jun 27th, 2011 04:05 PM By OliviaMy story starts in a small town in Mississippi. I was 1 of 2 openly gay youths in my high school. Open only at school, though, as my home life did not allow my sexuality. I was made to go to church 4 times a week in the hopes of saving my soul. I was sent to Christian counseling to "pray my gay away". It didn't work. I eventually ended up serving a 5 month sentence in the county jail for my lesbian relationship.
People wonder how something like that could happen in the year 2000, but many places in America are still living in the dark ages. And local law enforcement (especially on the county level) can do whatever they want to with no point of accountability. Now I have moved away and am a freedom-fighter with GetEQUAL. I am sick of being a second-class citizen but having to pay the same taxes as everyone else.
I'm sick of living in fear of being fired everyday because of my sexual orientation and having no protection. And I just want to settle down and marry the woman I love, have a kid and live a normal life. But I am denied that. I just want to live and am told everyday that I can't. Well, It's time to change that. It's time for everyone else who is fed up to stand up, band together, and declare that we will no longer stand for this treatment. I'm an American and I demand to be treated as such. Who's willing to stand up with me?
May 03rd, 2011 10:20 AM ByAccording to the Human Rights Campaign:
On Monday, Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie signed into law House Bill 546, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression in employment and as a matter of public policy. The bill had received final legislative approval in mid-April.
Hawaii becomes the 13th state to ban discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression in employment, housing and public accommodations, marking one-quarter of U.S. states with such laws. More than 125 cities and counties also have such laws on the books.
Hawaii law has prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation since 1991. Hawaii also already prohibited discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression in housing and public accommodations.

Mar 30th, 2011 03:36 PM ByAccording to HattiesburgAmerican.com:
"The Forrest County Sheriff's Department and the American Civil Liberties Union have settled out of court in a lawsuit filed by a former sheriff's deputy who alleged he was fired because he was gay.
"As a result of the settlement, André Cooley will be reinstated as a deputy corrections officer. The department also will change its non-discrimination policy to explicitly forbid discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
"Bear Atwood, legal director at the ACLU of Mississippi, said Cooley's was the first case of its kind in the state – wherein an employee sued a public body for discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
"'It's not a legal precedent, but we're hoping that employers in Mississippi will follow the lead,' she said of the settlement reached Monday.
"She also said that Forrest County will have the first sheriff's office in the state to include a sexual orientation clause in its non-discrimination policy.
"'I'm very happy that the sheriff's department has clarified in writing that they do not discriminate based on sexual orientation,' Cooley said in an ACLU press release. 'Everyone should be judged by their ability to do the job, not by their sexual orientation.'"

Feb 04th, 2011 02:55 PM ByThe following is from our friends at the Human Rights Campaign:
Recent news that a Pennsylvania Chick-fil-A branch provided food to the anti-gay Pennsylvania Family Institute has placed the fast-food chain in hot water. The privately held and family owned business donated food for a seminar entitled "The Art of Marriage: Getting to the Heart of God's Design." With this donation, the chain highlighted its Corporate Purpose "to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A." Despite that sentiment, there has been an intensely negative response to the company's association with the Pennsylvania organization.
Chick-fil-A President and COO Dan Cathy posted a video response on the company's Facebook page. While in his message Cathy emphasizes that it is their mission to treat every customer with heartfelt hospitality, and provide a welcoming and comfortable environment, a video posted on Facebook is not the right way to communicate corporate policies. Does the company include sexual orientation and gender identity in its non-discrimination policy? Are there policies in place to examine whether to make donations to certain groups? The answer is: we don't know. Why? Because Chick-fil-a does not participate in the Corporate Equality Index. HRC has sent a letter to the company encouraging them to participate in the CEI and to ensure that LGBT people are protected, not by words but by actual corporate policies.
As consumers, we all have the power to get our own message across with how we spend our dollars. It is with this thought in mind that we publish our Buying for Workplace Equality guide, as we hope to harness that purchasing power by providing you with the most accurate review of a business's workplace policies toward LGBT employees. By supporting businesses that support workplace equality you send a powerful message that LGBT inclusion is good for the bottom line.
While the ultimate decision is up to you, you have the resources to decide: Would you rather get your lunch at Burger King, who first joined the CEI just two years ago, committing to transparency in their work towards equality and raised their rating to a 73 in this year's report? Or at Cracker Barrel, whose work to improve its policies and practices affecting LGBT employees raised its CEI score 40 points in one year? Or, would you rather go to Chick-fil-A, who perpetuates a message that while you may be welcome to eat at their restaurant, you are not welcome to enjoy equal rights?

The Job Atmosphere At Work
Jan 31st, 2011 03:06 PM By RobertI am a 44 year old gay man that recently outed myself after a lifetime of hiding who and what I am. I am happier than I have ever been in my life. I realize now that a major portion of my depression I suffered was from hiding that I am gay. At work some of the co-workers found out that I am gay from an online social network site as we are friends there. It turns out someone from another store starting calling the other stores within the same company and were asking about me.
Now the people I am pretty sure that know are not even looking at me and or are walking around me as to not walk by me to get to their destination within my store. Some of them who see me out in public when shopping look down when going by me and ignore me. I believe it is all for me being gay.
I Give a Damn that all LGBT individuals be treated as any other persons be treated with respect, kindness, caring and compassion as we are all the same """Human Beings"""

I've heard (and used) YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) quite often in my software development career. It's a battle cry for shipping a minimum viable product and letting the real-world usage dictate what new features and improvements are really needed. Generally speaking I think that this ruthless minimalism is a good thing. I think we've all fallen into the "pie in the sky" thinking about adding lots of bells and whistles to whatever feature we're working on. I for one also know the feeling of spending a lot of time on one aspect of a new feature only to later discover that no one really uses it. I like to think that, over time, I've begun to develop some sense of when a given feature is likely to be useful and when I should YAGNI it out of my task list, but then again I also feel like the more I know the less I know. Lately I'm finding that when I'm in doubt it's best to err on the side of doing less and keeping things as simple as possible.
That said, there is a certain classification of feature that I sometimes regret omitting in the name of YAGNI. I recently read a fantastic post on Oren Eini's blog titled, "On Professional Code". I think this quote from that post sums it up quite nicely:
…a professional system is one that can be supported in production easily. About the most unprofessional thing you can say is: "I have no idea what is going on".
This post really hit home for me because I've recently transitioned into a support role (or devops, if you like) at work. One of the things that I'm now responsible for is assisting our support team with troubleshooting difficult issues and figuring out what's going on when the phone is ringing off the hook with end-users complaining that the "system is slow" and they can't get their work done. While it's a relatively rare occurrence, I absolutely hate having to say, "I don't know what's going on". When there's an odd error being thrown at a user who is trying to do something in our system it's terribly frustrating to have to crack open the source code of the system to figure out why it's being thrown. The error messages that are logged are often loaded with developer-speak or things like, "this shouldn't happen". I'm one of the more tenured developers on our team so I know that if I have difficulty understanding why a given error is being raised our support staff has almost zero chance of being able to figure it out on their own. When they can't figure it out, they have to ask for help and when they have to ask for help me or one of my co-workers has to stop working on something else (usually some improvement to our infrastructure, an internal tool that will make our lives easier, or some performance profiling/tuning) to help them and make sure our customers can get their work done. I feel very comfortable in saying that these kinds of poorly documented and understood error conditions can be tremendously costly to any company. If you have to read the source code of your application to fix an issue that doesn't require changing the source code (i.e. it's a bug in the system), then you're failing to write "professional code" as Oren defines it in that post.
As a developer I know that I'm as guilty as anyone of writing sub-par error handling code and leaving cryptic error messages in the log. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I think that this happens for one of two different reasons:
As long as software is written by human beings we'll always make mistakes. I'm not interested in exploring the mitigation of damage caused by human error in this post because that's a topic that's been explored in-depth by folks much smarter and more experienced than I am. Instead I'd like to focus on issue #2: that application of YAGNI to error-handling features. I've come to the realization lately that there is no such thing as 'YAGNI' when it comes to exposing information about what's going on in a live production application. In fact, I've started using another five-letter acronym to describe the development of features like this: YCNHE or "You Can Never Have Enough".
In my opinion, the cost-benefit ratio for adding useful information to error handling code is such that you can almost never have enough. Any time I add a message to some code that will end up being logged I ask myself the following question: "Who will read this message and what action will they need to take?". Almost no one can see a message like, "Unexpected value for parameter InputType" and know what needs to happen to fix it. This is just an informative statement with no imperative command or pointer to additional information. Granted there's probably a ton of contextual information that was captured along with the message like the timestamp from the server, a stack trace showing what routine or line of code was being executed, and the username of the person that was running the application when the error occurred. That type of contextual information can be very useful to a developer trying to reproduce or fix a defect but it's nearly useless to a non-developer trying to resolve an issue.
So what can you do to help alleviate this issue? Here are a few thoughts I've been formulating and will be experimenting with in the coming months:
I think it's pretty commonly accepted in the software development community that "good" code is easily readable and maintainable by other developers, but I think that this notion needs to be expanded. Good code should also be easily supportable by people who aren't developers. Next time you write a new feature take some time to think about how that feature might need to be supported in production. Are there things that would be relatively easy to add that might pay big dividends down the road in terms of improving the supportability of the system in production?

This product has been discontinued
This is my first blush from Mac and I must admit that it looks amazing on me! It is a very vivid pink but it lights up my pale face. I am NC15 and and a Mac specialist recommended this one and I must admit it was a perfect choice!
More reviews by midwifelovesmakeup
Used with N2 compact studio fix, really feminine and pretty. I love it, builds well for heavier colour or sheer tinting. Very powdery in the packaging. Usually I used bourjois but i fancied trying something new and i'm pleased with this choice. Sometimes i like to mix it with a bronzer.
Pink Swoon is my daily go-to blush. I am NW15 and I need to wear natural makeup for work. I find that applied lightly, this blush gives a very natural pink cheek without looking like a Barbie doll. It is really sheer, but buildable. Personally I do not like heavy blush. I have "normal" skin, and have not had any problems with the color changing or fading throughout the day. I use the refill pan in a MAC pallette.
Love love this shade of pink blush. I was always told that I am not a fair person. Asian with yellow undertone, MAC NC25/BB Beige, I wasn't so sure about anything to do with pink blush. I was at Bangkok International Airport, and this guy at the MAC counter recommended me this shade (together with Shy Girl). Oh boy, since then I can never look at others. Yes, this is a pink blush but it makes me feel so pretty. The staying power is also very good, at least 12 hours.
Love it, and I will repurchase, even if I have no idea when that will be. One tub can really last..
.. I like the colour..the packaging is ok, but I don't really like the finish.. this product is too expensive for its quality!.. (I have to say that I have the ordinary one, not the refill). I noticed that this product hasn't good pay off, and in some zones is oxidized.. so I'll never buy again matte mac blushes! kiss from Italy.
A nice blue-based bright pink. It's a sheertone so very buildable, I apply 2-3 layers for my NC23 skin for it to show up. Doesn't break me out and lasts well throughout the day. A very dupeable shade though, so not worth the price IMO.
I have no idea how I chose this color at the MAC counter. This is my first ever purchase from MAC and it is so scary in the pan, I think I was a bit crazy of me to buy this. Although its really bright in the pan and super cool toned, it is actually a really warm nice flush on my skin. That's really really good because I have really warm yellow asian skin. This is my go to winter blush, makes me look rosy and sweet.
This was not good on me. I'm cool toned NW15-20 paleface. First of all, I had to apply a TON of product to get it to show up on me. I had to apply so much that I ended up with a powdery mess before I stepped out the door. I got to work and check my face in the florescent lights...this blush disappeared. Good thing I keep cheapo drugstore blushes at my desk for touchups.
Pink Swoon is gorgeous in the pan, and I love the name. I wish I had swooned over it, but I didn't.
This is going back to MAC

More reviews by raspberrysorceress
Can't decide how I feel about this. I have naturally very fair skin (NW5-10) and this can look exceptionally bright and borderline unnatural on me. Other days I'll use a bit of fake tan (by fake tan, I mean going up to a NC15) and pop this on my cheeks and it looks beautiful beyond words. I think it depends upon the colouring of your skin whether or not this suits you. If you're fair skinned like myself, perhaps steer clear, or apply lightly. Just because it's a sheertone doesn't mean that you should be careless when applying it (as I have learnt!) That being said, the staying power is excellent and the colour remains a whole day on my cheeks, so this is definitely a very good quality blush.

Path to Success for One Palestinian Hacker: Publicly Owning Mark Zuckerberg
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
The West Bank is no easy place to be a hacker, or to do anything in the technology sphere. The occupied region depends on Israel for electricity, water and telecommunications, including the sluggish Internet that crawls into the South Hebron Hills. Shreateh has a well and three water tanks on his roof because Yatta only receives several days of running water every few months. Blackouts are common, and the town often goes without electricity for whole days in the winter.
Partly to blame is a complex system established by the Oslo accords that splits the West Bank into three zones under different combinations of Palestinian and Israeli control. "It's like Swiss cheese," says George Khadder, a tech entrepreneur who worked in Silicon Valley for 13 years. He sketches how Zones A, B and C weave in, out and around each other, with chunks of Israeli settlement territory in between. "The West Bank is like an archipelago, in terms of contiguity and services. This is absolutely a problem."
This access gap is clear on the drive from Jerusalem to Yatta, which requires passing through a military checkpoint that bars Shreateh from entering Israel. The road to Yatta passes several Israeli settlements, sprawling over hilltops with their separate telecom systems, brightly lit streets and green, well-watered lawns. "The dogs in Israel drink more water than Palestinians," the taxi driver laughs.
Shreateh now lives in Ramallah, where the situation is a little better. He comes home on weekends, as does Nibal, who is studying dentistry in Abu Dis. "He's the only one who does this computer stuff," she says. "Our family geek."
Their nieces are rambunctious, dancing to an Arabic music channel blaring from the television and yelling about the Eid al-Adha crowds in Hebron. They parade around the kitchen table, showing off the new clothes they've just bought for the Muslim holiday – matching turtlenecks with faux fur vests – while Shreateh's sisters laugh and croon that yes, the girls look very pretty.
Only Shreateh is oblivious to the family buzz. He sits at a small table next to the refrigerator, wholly engrossed in his laptop screen, flicking back and forth between Hacker News, exploit forums and his own security projects. He typically stays up until 2 a.m., clacking away on the keyboard as the rest of Yatta sleeps.
"He's listening to Linkin Park," Nibal says, adding that she finds it funny how "geeks everywhere like the same music."
Shreateh has his own website and 44,156 followers on Facebook, many of whom spam him with questions about hacking into their boyfriends' profiles or raising their exam grades online. Shreateh ignores them. "I am an ethical hacker," he says. "I don't damage or destroy."
That makes him different from some other Palestinian hackers. The same month as Shreateh's Facebook prank, hacktivists hijacked Google's Palestine domain, redirecting it to a page with a Rihanna background song and written message: "uncle google we say hi from palestine to remember you that the country in google map not called israel. its called Palestine"
This month, another group called KDMS hacked the websites of security companies AVG and Avira, among other companies, redirecting to a site displaying the Palestinian flag, a graphic of Palestinian land loss, and a similar message: "we want to tell you that there is a land called Palestine on the earth," it read in part. "this land has been stolen by Zionist.'
Shreateh dismisses these attacks as counterproductive. "They hacked to put a message about Palestine," he says. "But some will say 'Look, Palestinians are mindless. They hack everything, that's bad.' … Some people break the law to send a message, but I will send a message with my own name, not with a nickname. I can send a message without damaging a website."
He shrugs off KDMS's invective about good Palestinians versus bad Israelis, but bubbles over when the conversation turns to good hackers versus bad hackers. He's a citizen of the Internet, disconnected from the Israeli-Palestinian situation, wrapped in the superhero role of upholding a hacker's ethical code in a virtual, non-occupied world.
"There is no security today. No one is secure," Shreateh says. That's why people need ethical hackers to protect systems against the nonstop threat of security vulnerabilities and the black-hat hackers who exploit others for fame and money. There's a moment of truth when you decide to take the white hat path, Shreateh says, a fork in the road when any hacker discovers a bug and decides to publicize it or get it closed instead of exploiting it for personal gain.
"I think, if someone hacks and takes my money, how do I feel?" Shreateh asks. "You treat people how you want them to treat you."
As for Israeli hackers, he sees them as inferior, babied by the privilege of living without occupation. "Israeli hackers all come from university classes. They have companies and courses to teach them," Shreateh scoffs. "Palestinian hackers come from Google search and YouTube videos. We all learned on our own."
Shreateh smiles, kicks off his rubber slippers and opens his laptop to check his Facebook page, which has been receiving a steady flow of messages all afternoon. He scrolls through the flood of bug reports, Metasploit gossip, requests for hacking advice and fan mail in Arabic and broken English. He chuckles at some comments and Likes others, then opens khalil-shreateh.com, pausing on the still-incomplete website for a moment. "I am the only ethical hacker in Palestine," Shreateh says, puffing out his chest. "But for sure, there will be more like me in the future."

Robert outlines the installation and the testing of the Panaray MA12EX system and the very difficult acoustic environment with hard floors and 425 windows. The speaker arrays also had to be located almost directly behind the pulpit microphones for an even more challenging project.
