This is a handy way to circumvent the "Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded" grep error.
Once you have run the above command (or put it in your .bashrc), files can be searched using:
lgrep search-string /file/to/search
Just refining last proposal for this check, showing awk power to make more complex math (instead /1024/1024, 2^20). We don't need declare variable before run lsof, because $(command) returns his output. Also, awk can perform filtering by regexp instead to call grep. I changed the 0.0000xxxx messy output, with a more readable form purging all fractional numbers and files less than 1 MB.
Although Exim will purge frozen (undeliverable) messages over time, the command "exim -Mrm #id#" where #id# is a particular message ID will purge a message immediately. Being lazy, I don't want to type the command for each frozen message, so I wrote the one-liner to do it for me.
Prints the unique IP Addresses as they arrive from an Apache `access.log` file.
The '-W interactive' tells awk to start writing to stdout immediately and not buffer the output.
This command builds on the uniq lines without sorting command (http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/4389/remove-duplicate-entries-in-a-file-without-sorting.)
My old Solaris server does not have lsof, so I have to use pfiles.
awk extract every nth line.
Generic is:
awk '{if (NR % LINE == POSITION) print $0}' foo
where "last" position is always 0 (zero).
Change the number 50 to whatever number of characters you want. Change the character inside the double quotes to whatever you want printed.
Can use lsof, but since it's not part of the base OS, it's not always available.
Command line to get which PID is opening a socket on IP and PORT.
Only useful under Solaris.
Searches all log files (including archived bzip2 files) for invalid user and PAM authentication errors, both of which are indicative of brute force attempts at logging into computer. A list of all unique IP addresses and domain names is appended to hosts.deny. The command (and grep error messages) will work on Mac OS X 10.6, small adjustments may be needed for other OSs.
If you gzip an empty file it becomes 20 bytes. Some backup checks i do check to see if the file is greater than zero size (-s flag) but this is no good here. Im sure someone has a better check than me for this? No check to see if file exists before checking it's size.
Exclude 400 client hosts with NFS auto-mounted home directories.
Easily modified for inclusion in your scripts.
Using awk, find duplicates in a file without sorting, which reorders the contents. awk will not reorder them, and still find and remove duplicates which you can then redirect into another file.
What happens here is we tell tar to create "-c" an archive of all files in current dir "." (recursively) and output the data to stdout "-f -". Next we specify the size "-s" to pv of all files in current dir. The "du -sb . | awk ?{print $1}?" returns number of bytes in current dir, and it gets fed as "-s" parameter to pv. Next we gzip the whole content and output the result to out.tgz file. This way "pv" knows how much data is still left to be processed and shows us that it will take yet another 4 mins 49 secs to finish.

AVENDISH'S Kristy Astbury epitomises everything that is great about netball.
It would be fair to say that netball has played a big part in her sporting life.
The Cavendish netball stalwart reached a special personal milestone last Saturday when she played her 300th game for the club.
Her dedication and loyalty to Cavendish is reflected by the fact that she has played all her netball with the club.

An ephemeral, ethereal JRPG full of slow-pacing and melancholia. 0
Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon, beyond having an unwieldy name, is something of a dark horse among tri-Crescendo's library of more straightforward RPGs, like Eternal Sonata or Baten Kaitos. At times it has the slow cadence of survival horror: The foreboding darkness of a post-apocalyptic Tokyo is an eerie environment to stage a game, with protagonist Seto constantly requiring the use of a flashlight and his wits to fend off the many restless spirits that now occupy the various dilapi...

Abysmal gameplay hurts one of the most depressing stories I've ever seen 0
I didn't really enjoy my time spent with Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon, at least not in that usual sense of the word. As a game, it's not great. Boring and frustrating combat, ponderous fetch quests, and a difficulty curve that resembles a seismic scale during a violent earthquake made it a hard game to love. Pair this gameplay with a story that weighed heavily on me with its dark scenes and crushing sense of hopelessness and you can maybe see why I had a hard time making my way thr...

Before playing a game, most people like to have some idea of what they're getting into. There are gamers who like their shooters, gamers who like their sports simulation games, tournament fighters, platformers, etc. The thing about Tri-Crescendo's Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is that, no matter what you're expecting, nothing will really prepare you for the experience that is this game. That said, you get out of it what you put in.Fragile Dreams is a third person adventure game that...

A game like Fragile could not have come at a better time. Last year, the the very landscape of Arkham Asylum captivated gamers with its detail and density. Silent Hill made a surprising comeback on the Wii with its new exploratory format. Fragile has been knocking on America's door for quite a while, touting its original environment of a ruined uninhabited Tokyo. Having a personal love for exploring abandoned buildings, this rushed right to the top of my 2010 anticipation list. And now upon...

In Defense of Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon 0
Living in press-event isolation as I do, I did not go into Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon with more than a teaser trailer --as seen below -- to go by. What I saw in that years-old video was one boy's struggle with isolation in a stunning but decaying RPG world. What I experienced in this widely underrated game is hard to explain, but I know that going into it without expectations opened my mind to the work more than those who immersed themselves in the hype.I want to convince you tha...

Cut the "vine' to 1-2 nodes (eyes) apply 0.3% IBA (rooting hormone) stick in well drained soil 7 mist takes 25-80 days to root. |

i have also, accidentally, cut my mom's young grape vine while trimming my climbing rose. anyway, propagating honeysuckle vine is not very complicated. my mom got two long vine cuttings from her friend last year and she dug a shallow hole wide enough for the long cutting and covered it up. this year the vine is about 6 feet tall and full of blooms.(propagation by layering). i don't know the success rate of this method because my mom has a green thumb, and everything tends to grow in her guarden. you can also make cutting that have 4 nodes, each with two sets of leaves. remove the bottom two sets and leave the tops. scratch the sides of the cutting at the end and dip it in dip n grow sln or in any rooting hormone. place in a pot with soil where the base two nodes are covered. cover the cutting with a jar, or a bag to preserve moisture. the cutting will root in 6 to 8 weeks. hope this helps |
I have rooted several 6", give or take, (soft wood) cuttings in water, overwintered in the house, successfully planted them out and come back strong after the next winter Vangy likes to play in the dirt |

last month, i tried propagating honesuckle vine. i took long cutting then cut them to smaller pieces each with 2 nodes, took off the leaves from the bottom node and scratched near that nodes (bottom one). i dipped each cutting in dip N grow sln (diluted 10X for softwood) for 5 seconds, then i placed the cutting in a peat pellet with only the bottom node covered(soaked in warm water before hand to inflate) then i placed the pellet in a rectangular pot filled with regular potting soil. i placed wodden stick on the sides of the pot (sheesh kabab sticks) and wraped the top with seran nylon wrap. (the sticks are used to hold the nylon). i got impatient and thought the whole thing was a failure. so i forgot about it for a while then two days ago, i checked on it and found that 7 out of the 12 cutting has grown new tiny leaves. i was ecctatic. finally, i grew something instead of killing it ( i have a high plant mortality rate history ;). so i'm going to keep the wrap on for a couple more days, keep the humidity high, until i think the plants are hardy enough... wish me luck... |

(follow up) today i was transplanting one honeysuckle cutting from the big pot to an individual smaller one and i found that they all had long roots and they were all tangled.(sign of success?) i guess i should've placed them more spaced. anyway, my question is: is it okey to cut back the roots a little if they are too long, and how do i minimize the transplant shock?. i transplanted one and i placed a nylon bag on top of it and sealed it, (individual green house). is that the right way to do it? should i use special soil mix or just regular potting soil? |

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/tribunal/en/case/6215875/ I can agree ive been a ****** on 2 of these games the rest are common sense and logic and ones where i didnt even swear i EVEN got banned for capping the points in a hide and seek match after somebody recalled then stopped halfway to kill me which is considered cheating and is not allowed the tribunal needs to go riot needs to take bans in their own hands stop letting other players / bots spam the punish button this is the worst banning system ive ever seen on any game.
If you understand you were a dick in some of the matches, what are you trying to accomplish with this thread?
Punctuation.... please.
Calys Teneb
Looks like you were a dick on all five games to me.
Alright - One last one before I take off from work. #1 - Around 15 minutes you and your jungler start to have a disagreement, nothing too serious. then, you take it to all chat for some reason, chatting for the next 10 minutes in all to your opponents. Why? Aside from that and more jawing at teammates - Not a whole lot wrong. #2 - You seem to be in a custom game of hide and seek. You yell back and forth for the entire game for some reason. Why? You seem to be in a verbal argument half the time in all chat for no real reason. #3 - You and cho don't like eachother. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG. Report cho. For noob, or something like that. Why? If you want to report Cho, just do it yourself. #4 - Again, you ask to report a teammate. (Who ends as higher level than you - Hyuck.) More all chat jawing at the other team. #5 - Back and forth jawing with your teammates. You know, this wouldn't be such a bad card if you just concentrated on the game instead of trying to argue 75% of the game. As it is, I imagine that's why people pressed punish.

Your Favorite 1/2 and Full Marathons?
We're hooked on the Disney races but DH and I would like to try others. We're seriously considering the Rock and Roll Series but what are some of the others you've tried and loved? What others would you recommend? This could get very informative and interesting as I know that some of you have run just about everywhere and also internationally.

That's a tough decision. So far, I've done 5 half marathons and have different favorites for different reasons.
Best Crowd support/On course entertainment:Columbus Ohio Marathon and half marathon. The city tends to come out for this race. As far as on course entertainment, the course features 100 bands and Deejay's some are good some are bad but you're always close to someone, and they are schedule to be there clear through to the walkers. The Big productions on the streets of Anaheim were nice at Disneyland but I preferred the more frequent smaller entertainment of Columbus. Best PR Course. The Ohio River Road Runners Marathon/Half in Xenia, Ohio. This is a small local race so you don't have 15,000+ people to weave around. The half marathon course is not pancake flat the course has a couple of rolling hills but they are at the beginning. The high point of the course is Mile 9, the last 4 miles are all a gradual downhill on a paved rail/trail. So, when you're tired at the end you have that slight downhill to help you along. It's not steep where it would trash your legs just a little over a 1% grade.

I really like the RnR races. I did the RnR USA twice back when it was the National Half Marathon and the 2010 race is my favorite half. They messed some things up in 2011 and I didn't do it this year which was the first year it was run as a RnR but I might do it next year. I am definitely doing the Cleveland RnR and almost definitely doing Pitt and Lexington. All three are inaugural events.
Outside of the RnR series races I really liked were the Akron marathon here in Ohio (I did the half twice and a leg of the marathon relay this year), and the Niagara International Full is a great race. It was my first full. It starts in Buffalo and you run into Canada and finish next to the falls. There is also a half but it starts on the Niagara Parkway at the halfway point of the full. |

Best is hard to choose, to be honest. Disney aside, here are some of my favorite ones:
Zoom Yah Yah - Minnesota. In January. Indoors. 150 laps on an indoor track. Nice, because you get assigned a personal lapcounter (from the girls track/XC team). Yeah, it gets repetitive, but the track is nice and soft, there are no hills or wind, you are never far from water or an actual bathroom, the pre-race meal is in the dining hall (which had really good food), and yeah, having a bunch of people screaming and chanting your name when you start your bell lap is a lot of fun. On the down side, it's 150 laps of an indoor track. (FWIW - the year I ran it, it was warmer than the Disney marathon. That made for some fun bragging to friends.) Also, capped at 44 runners (or thereabouts). Illinois Marathon - located in Champaign-Urbana IL. I like it because it is my old college stomping grounds. The race is fairly flat (it is central Illinois, after all), crowd support is generally good (and only getting better), and you finish on the 50 yard line of the stadium. The only downside is that you finish on the 50 yard line - and then have to climb some stairs to get to your gear bag and post-race food. But, if you don't collapse to the ground right after crossing the finish line, it's not bad. I enjoyed the Air Force marathon, because your pre-race meal is in the Air Force museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio. Course was ok, though I was not feeling well when I ran it. (Bad runner - tried new food during race.)

Richmond - beautiful course, decent crowd support, cool weather, medium (8000) field Marine Corps - best volunteer support of any race I've ever run, beautiful course with mix of quietness in the reservoir and along the river and the huge crowds in downtown DC, cool weather, large (35,000) field Madrid - you see most of the main highlights of the city plus have a nice stint through two really nice parks, medical staff on rollerblades offering support along the way, good volunteer support, not many spectators, medium field (15,000)

So hard to pick, but I have been lucky to try out some pretty great ones and have been impressed with a lot of them. Some of my favorites...and I can't wait to do the MCM in a couple weeks because I have a feeling it will be added to my list of favorites.
Kiawah Island Half Marathon, SC: Beautiful course, all water stations have oranges and bananas, after race food is fantastic as is the organization and medals are recycled glass. Running the Marathon this year since it is a new course. Air Force Marathon, Dayton, OH: Amazing support, running on an AFB is pretty cool, having a flyover (B2 Bomber this year) and various flyovers during the race, mile 10 is AMAZING!!, and running by the jets at the Air Force Museum is nice for your approach into the finish line! Lincoln Presidential Half Marathon, Springfield, IL: What other race can you get a picture with President Lincoln and his wife with a giant penny medal around your neck? Plus, you get to run through all the historic areas, Lincoln's house, tomb, and the capitol. It is a very nice city and a great race. University of Missouri (Mizzou) Go Girl Half Marathon, Columbia, MO: I admit I had never even heard of Mizzou before or Truman the Tiger and had never even been to that state, but I got my picture with Truman. Although it was hot, the support was great, the goodies were nice, and the course wasn't difficult. A wine glass with a smoothie and a nice medal only added to how fun this was. Chicago Women's Half Marathon: The course was run almost entirely by Lake Michigan and like most women's focused races, you got a lot of goodies with this one too. I really loved the course (although it was hot and Lake Michigan was ironically not windy) and the support and the atmosphere. Rock 'n' Roll Chicago Half Marathon: I love architecture, and the course is run by some of the coolest buildings, and having bands every once in a while to get us through what ended up being a hot race was nice. A lot of crowd support and the Expo was amazing! Good thing we drove because we got so much free stuff. I liked the support on the course, and the overall organization. Lady Speed Stick Half Marathon - Nashville, TN: Although the course started out really hilly, it eventually turned into a nice downhill and flat course. This series was acquired by Competitor, so it is now associated with the RNR events. The Expo wasn't much, but the course and medal were amazing.

Non Disney races
Fastest Marathon Course: Arizona RnR Marathon (very flat with good weather and no sharp turns) Best Crowd Support: Boston Marathon (unbelievable, and the concentration of people who love to run is fantastic). If you can qualify, everyone should run this. Fastest Half Course: Fontana Days Half Marathon (drops 2100' in 13.1 miles) San Diego RnR Marathon: nice weather and finish along the bay. Most Scenic: Big Sur Marathon * I don't care for RnR series very much. Much more commercial than even Disney and the end of the race support was lacking for me. |

Since I am vetoing Competitive Racing... I would not look to any RnR that has a new course or anything else new for the year in which you are entering.
Though saying that, I loved running the RnR in San Diego, Nashville and San Antonio. They used to be a runner's race where you knew you would be safe and have plenty of supplies. I cannot vouch for that any longer. Off soap box. There are the obvious marathons that everyone should experience. New York - it's a great scenic tour and lots and crowd support - but like Disney, you must wait forever int he staging area. Chicago - Again a diverse and well supported race. Is is flat and fast and is usually cool. These folks know how to run a huge race. Houston - A Runner's race with well stocked aid stations and lots of support. My hometown race for which I usually volunteer. Marine Corp - This is on the list of great races, but in my opinion, the race has outgrown is course. Marines know how to charge and take a hill but race logistics can be puzzling for them. It's on the list as you cannot run a marathon where you run by the Pentagon, near the national zoo, Jefferson, Lincoln and Washington, and the Capital. Surf City - You cannot beat the BEST medal out there.. a surf board, though the course lacks variety. Maui - The first 8-9 miles are kind of rural, but once you crest the saddle and come back to the coast, you are running next to the bluest ocean you will ever see. There are other big name races, but honestly, some of the best races you will ever run are the no name local or nearly local races. The best resource for these races are MarathonGuide.com. These races can be well supported, have a huge crowd support and be better run than the mega races. Look for races that have very positive feed back and read what is written. Understand what kind of race you want to run in and see if the feed back matches. You know Disney gets terrible marks from many runners because they believe that Walt will magically lasso and slide the parks together on race day and the entire 26 miles will be in a park. Not sure this helps, but I really am liking smaller races over the mega races. The crowds are manageable and the costs reasonable and you get to sleep in your own bed

I gotta put a plug in for my local race: Memphis St. Jude Half and Full. You get to run through the St. Jude campus with several of the patients and their families cheering for you. And if you are local, you get monthly training clinics and group runs with the national St. Jude running coach, also from Memphis. It's the first weekend in December and the weather in Memphis is usually great for running. Local support is great and it finishes in Auto Zone Park, one of the top minor league baseball stadiums in the country.

If you are interesting in coming to the Seattle area, in September they hold the Race for a Soldier. It was started by a mom who lost her son as a result of PTSD. It's held in Gig Harbor which is a terrific small town about an hour south. Small race, about 1400 people, pretty hilly at times, but the community support is off the charts. It benefits the USO of Puget Sound and other wounded warrior programs.
Pain is temporary. Pride (and your finisher shirt) is forever.

I have only run three marathons: Disney, Mount Desert Island in Maine, and Hudson Mohawk River in NY.
I ran the Mount Desert Island Marathon because I had traveled to Bar Harbor before and new the area was absolutely stunning. It has been voted one of the most scenic marathons in North America and it completely lives up to that award. However, the beauty=comes at a cost. The fans are spread out pretty thin. It's a small field so, there are areas where you feel alone (although, it that environment it isn't necessarily a bad thing), and it is a hilly course, with a net uphill finish. I still have nightmares about the climb at mile 22ish. If I had to choose and I didn't care about a PR. I'd do that one again. (With more hill training before the race!)

Unfortunately I don't travel for events much. But I like the National Marathon to Cure Breast Cancer (Known colloquially as "26.2 with Donna") in Jacksonville. GREAT expo, lots of stuff. About 2-3 miles of the course is no the beach.
Also like the Space Coast. The course is OK, but the post race support is awesome. Make Disney a school PE class by comparison. If you're in the area, The Ohio River Road Runner's Club 1/2 & full in Xenia, Ohio is a really well managed "Small Town" race. Have to start traveling more I guess............... JTA: in a couple of months I'm going to do the Daytona Beach 1/2. Part of the course is on Daytona International Speedway, and you get free tickets to qualifying that afternoon. Should be fun!!

I have two favorites:
Marine Corp: Beautiful scenery, great crowd and it somehow feels patriotic Myrtle Beach 1/2 and or full: This is a great run!! It is flat, the crowd support is good and best of all you run partially on the strip right beside the beach so the views are wonderful. Located on the course is a Krispy Kreme. After I finish running (I have run this race 3 times) the family and I will open the back of the SUV eat doughnuts and cheer on the rest of the runners! This is only a four mile run but my favorite speaking of Krispy Kreme! The Krispy Kreme Challenge at NC State University. You run 2 miles; eat a dozen doughnuts and run back 2 miles in under an hour. The costumes are hilarious and the proceeds go to the childrens hospital.

Vertex Energy, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2010 Financial Results
Vertex Energy, Inc. (OTCBB:VTNR), a leader in the aggregation, recycling and processing of distressed hydrocarbon streams, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010.
"The third quarter results for 2010 represented our third consecutive quarter of positive net income," said Benjamin P. Cowart, Vertex's Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Cowart continued, "We increased our revenue for the quarter by more than 10% compared with the same period last year. The performance of both our Black Oil Division and our Refining & Marketing Division, exclusive of our Thermal-Chemical Extraction Process ("TCEP") technology operations, showed marked improvement over the second quarter of this year. We made the strategic decision to not operate TCEP during the third quarter of this year in order to take advantage of the strong used oil market and the short-term opportunity to process recovered material from the Gulf Coast oil spill during this period. We continued to incur some of the fixed costs of our TCEP operation during the period, despite the fact that we were not operating the process, which had a negative impact on our Refining & Marketing Division's overall performance." Mr. Cowart added, "We were able to utilize this deliberately instituted down time to implement a number of critical process improvements that are demonstrating excellent early results that we believe bode well for our future performance."
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, consolidated revenue increased 10.4% to $13.29 million, compared with $12.04 million in the same period in 2009. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2010 was $818,607, compared with $1,692,474 in the same period in 2009. Net income for the third quarter was $208,580, or $0.03 per share, compared with $709,558, or $0.09 per share in the year-ago quarter.
The Refining & Marketing Division produced revenue of $6.68 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2010 versus $6.17 million of revenue during the same period in 2009, representing an increase of over 8%. Gross profit in the Refining & Marketing Division was $7,802 for the third quarter 2010, compared with $744,928 in the year-ago third quarter. The licensed TCEP technology, a business initiative within the Refining & Marketing Division since July of 2009, did not operate during the third quarter of 2010 due to market opportunities within the Black Oil Division for used motor oil feedstock and the near -term Gulf Coast oil spill clean up opportunity. The processing of the recovered material from the Gulf Coast required utilization of certain components of the TCEP process.

Happy Birthday 'Hey Ya': 10 Things That Didn't Age as Well as OutKast's Most Enduring Hit
Polaroid Corporation
Even in 2003, Polaroid cameras were somewhat of a relic. Digital cameras were everywhere and a relatively new technology called a camera phone was threatening to take over. Even a creative partnership with Lady Gaga couldn't save the instant film camera and in 2008, Polaroid announced it planned to cease production. The Polaroid may be dead, but the line "shake it like a Polaroid picture" will live forever, in our hearts.
The original portmanteau-ed celebrity couple, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, were on the cover of every single magazine in 2003. In fact! Their much-anticipated wedding was scheduled for Sept. 2003. But alas, some things are simply not meant to be and the couple called it quits forever in 2004. Ben Affleck eventually found himself another Jennifer and Lopez found, well, American Idol. Fortunately we'll always have "Dear Ben," the "Jenny from the Block" music video and Gigli.
"What's Cooler Than Being Cool? Ice Cold!"
Seriously, we've got to do something about climate change. The phrase ice cold just doesn't mean what it used to.
Ryan Phillippe's Career
In 2003, when he played the TV presenter in the music video for "Hey Ya," Ryan Phillippe was a star. He was married to Reese Witherspoon and things were looking great. Cut to 2013. In the past two years, Phillippe's only credits are Straight A's and a role in the final season of Damages. What happened, Ryan?
Only a month old at the time, MySpace became the most popular social networking site in the world by 2006. However, that wouldn't last; Facebook overtook MySpace in 2008 and the rest is history.
The Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise
On Sept. 9, 2013, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl had been out for two full months. It was also the number one film at the box office. It was, in a word, unstoppable. That is, until Jerry Bruckheimer decided to drag the thing out for three exhausting sequels with a fifth one on the way.
"Shake Ya Tailfeather"
When "Hey Ya" was released, it was Nelly, Diddy and Murphy Lee's Bad Boys II theme song, "Shake Ya Tailfeather," that held the top of the charts. Now tell me, which song would you rather listen to today? Exactly.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Politician
California's gubernatorial recall was a huge story in 2003. Out of 135 candidates, Californians saw fit to elect Arnold Schwarzenegger as their governor, a job he would hold until 2011. Whether or not Schwarzenegger had higher political aspirations, shortly after leaving the governor's mansion, it was revealed that he'd fourteen years prior fathered an illegitimate son with his maid. Now he's returned to his rightful place, preparing for a fifth Terminator movie.
Anyone From Friends Who Isn't Jennifer Aniston
Okay, that's not entirely fair. And they're bazillionaires anyway so who needs to work? But, really, what happened to David Schwimmer?
OutKast Itself
Even Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, the double album that featured "Hey Ya" signaled a shift for OutKast. It was, essentially, two solo albums sold together under the moniker of OutKast. André 3000 and Big Boi were moving in different directions, artistically. The two released one further album, Idlewild, then shifted their focus to solo careers.

Imagine the time, energy and money that you would save if you didn't have to dry-clean, hand-wash, hang-dry or iron your dress shirts. For those with office jobs, these are likely quite consuming tasks! Believe it or not, Wool&Prince shirts guarantee that you'll only need to put them through half of these cleaning procedures, and no more than three times per year.
The company's innovative Cotton-Soft fabric is made from fine wool. It resists wrinkling and has natural odor-free properties that absorb and evaporate sweat so efficiently that smell-causing bacteria don't have the chance to grow. Fifteen testers were given Wool&Prince shirts and challenged to stink them up and crumple them by wearing them during a wide range of activities; still, the Wool&Prince shirts kept up their incredible crispness and freshness.

Frequently asked questions:
What is EMS tracking number?
EMS Tracking number is alpha-numeric code starting with two letters, followed by nine digits (eight serial number digits + a check digit) and two-letters country code. For example, EE123456785GB. Checkdigit shows whether EMS tracking number contains a mistype. Code of the country indicates the origin country of the shipment.
EMS tracking site does not provide any result for my tracking number, how can I track and trace my EMS shipment?
There are several possible ways:
- Check EMS tracking number and correct if needed
- Wait few days and repeat search.
Tracking information on origin country EMS site appears several days after you received tracking number.
Track and trace on destination country EMS site will be available after mail/package/parcel arrived to the country.
- Try track and trace using both origin and destination countries EMS site.
What is the reason to track and trace using both origin and destination country EMS sites?
Origin country EMS site gives more up-to-date track and trace information on initial part of mail/package delivery,
while destination country EMS site on final part.
The other reason is that origin or destination country sites may not have online tracking.
Why destination country should be selected manually?
EMS tracking number contains code of origin country, but not destination country.
What can I do if destination country for mail/package/parcel is not present in the list?
If a country is not present, online tracking is not available for it.
Find information about local EMS office on http://ems.coop site and contact the post office directly via e-mail or phone.
Origin country EMS site has no tracking available, how can I proceed?
Select destination country to track and trace via destination country EMS site or find information about local post office on http://ems.coop site to contact via e-mail or phone.
What does it mean 'EMS tracking number has correct format, but wrong check digit'?
EMS tracking number contains checkdigit that depends on first eight digits. If calculated checkdigit differs from checkdigit from EMS tracking number, this indicates misprint. Check tracking number and provide correct number.

Pakistan drone attack, aimed at Haqqani network, kills at least six
(Read article summary)The target of the drone attack was the Haqqani network, a Pakistani militant group based near the Afghanistan border that has been blamed for attacks on NATO troops.
Kirsty Wigglesworth/AP
• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
A suspected US drone attack in Pakistan's tribal region on Wednesday killed at least six people. The target of the strike was the Haqqani network, a Pakistani militant group blamed for attacks on NATO forces in Afghanistan, the Associated Press reports.
The strike, which targeted at least one house in North Waziristan, was the sixth drone attack in the area this week. The missile hit a house in the village of Dande Darpa Khel just outside North Waziristan's main town of Miran Shah, according to the AP.
The house was owned by Maulvi Azizullah, a member of the Haqqani network, a militant group based in North Waziristan that U.S. military officials have called the most dangerous threat to NATO troops in Afghanistan.

The Shining focuses on Jack Torrence, a writer and recovering acho...

quote:Personally I think Walsh had such a crush on Montana he would have refused to phase him out for Young...
quote:yeah Siefert was a great replacement. The only thing that prevented the 49ers from winning more Super Bowls was other excellent teams like the Cowboys, Giants, and Packers winning the Super Bowl instead.
quote:Burnout. Walsh was a genius but he didn't have the insatiable desire for winning like a Phil Jackson, John Wooden, Alex Ferguson, Scotty Bowman.
quote: Who is Alex Ferguson and Scotty Bowman? Serious question.
quote:Seifert was not a great coach. he mostly coasted on what he had been handed. Not saying he was terrible or anything like that but I never though we ever won a game because of his coaching like i did with Bill. Although i do give George credit for loosening the reigns a little bit and being more of a players coach than Bill was which the 49ers probably benefited from somewhat.
quote:As a 49er assistant, his defenses finished in the top ten in fewest points allowed in each of his six seasons in that capacity: fourth in 1983, first in 1984, second in 1985, third in 1986 and 1987, and eighth in 1988. His final two defenses, 1987 and 1988, finished first and third in fewest yards allowed, respectively. On his 49th birthday, the 49ers won the Super Bowl in 1988.
quote:With the GOAT...team. 1989 Niners.

Having trouble deciding between LMT, La Rue, CMT or Young Mfg. This is going to be a SHTF weapon and I've heard nothing but good things about Young Mfg. except that the tolerances are tight to the point of less than reliable function in adverse conditions. Cost isn't much of an issue as long as it is towards quality. Thanks

Go with a BCM or Spikes If you want a little extra reliability go with the Nickel Boron (Zero Fail) coated BCG from Spikes. Both BCM and Spikes BCGs are top notch and low cost They both have bolts made from carpenter #158 steel that is shot peened and properly heat treated, they both use M-16 carriers made from the proper tool steel that is properly heat treated and both have a good forged chrome lined gas key that is attached with grade 8 hardware and properly staked. For a SHTF gun you dont want something flashy, you want something reliable.

I have frogs that live in my side yard. They sing at night. I like them. However, I have to change the side yard and I am worried about destroying their home. The problem is the A/C. The brush pile is too close (falling over on it!) and it needs to be moved--there is no room there so it's going on the other side of the house. The A/C is not working well becase it is smothered in brush, and it's causing our electric bills to be very high, the lights flicker when it comes on because it has to work so hard, etc. The problem is the brush pile, and it HAS to be moved. I have lush plantings of cannas, etc next to the fence. My neighbor overwaters, it's a low spot, it's basically a bog garden. I have plans to extend this bed (it's several feet from the A/C) and will be getting bigger the away from the A/C. THE QUESTION:
thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ok, maybe I can actually help someone on here for once. You say these are frogs---are they tree frogs, "frog" frogs--like leopard frogs, cricket frogs, etc-- or are they toads? Knowing what you have living there in the side yard will make a difference on how to proceed. I know I tend to find a lot more tree frogs in places with available moisture than dry ones...it could very well be that you will find more frogs in your hostas than in your brush pile, yet if there's a layer of leaves/loose debris at the base of the brush, you will likely find toads rooted in under there during the day. Hard to say too, since I am not familiar with texas amphibs.... more info would help. Glad you are concerned about their welfare. I personally worry about every frog and toad in my yard getting underfoot or underwheel. |
- Posted by catherinet z5 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 4, 06 at 12:09
Hi burntplants, I wouldn't worry about disturbing the brush pile, if you have lots of other stuff around the area. They will just go elsewhere. I've found that my frogs and toads like weeds, hostas, daylilies, etc. Any area with lots of greenery will do.......along with the wetness of the area. When you move the brush pile, just watch where you step and go slowly. I really think they all will be fine. |

MALT announced it paid $2.5 million for development rights to the ranch along Point Reyes-Petaluma Road, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources and Conservation Service and state Department of Conservation's farmland conservancy program each providing $831,667 grants for the project. Others funds were raised from MALT members and supporters.
"Protecting the land so this productive dairy can continue operation is an example of how MALT works with ranching families to find a conservation alternative to the sale or development of the land," said MALT Executive Director Robert Berner.
Land rights were sold to MALT through a corporation run by the Spaletta family, which has owned the ranch since 1932. Charles Spaletta and his son, Tony, live on the land and run a Holstein dairy cow operation.
In assuming development rights to the land, MALT has ensured it will only be used for agriculture and cannot be subdivided.
"We purchase the development rights and then we extinguish them," said Elisabeth Ptak, the trust's associate director.
The property, situated just outside both Novato and Petaluma, becomes the latest in a series of protected patches of farmland in the region. Similar MALT conservation easements protect a total of 41,500 acres on 64 family farms and ranches.

Some news sources, subjected to weeks of official political theater, staged propaganda, and demonstrable lies since the uprising against Qaddafi began in mid-February, dismissed the entire scene as a fake government set-up.
Subsequent analysis by the Monitor, however, shows that the missile pieces put on display in the yard were from an American-made AGM-88 HARM missile – a high-speed antiradiation missile favored by military planners to knock out radar sites.
It was probably targeting nearby radar installations. There is one 1.9 miles to the northwest, which is one of many such facilities concentrated along Libya's Mediterranean coastline that have been struck to create a UN-endorsed no-fly zone and "protect civilians" from Libyan forces.
Serial numbers and lettering showed the weapon as US-made. Among the remaining pieces of the missile were fins marked BSU-60 A/B, which are part of the HARM system.
That missile is four meters long and with a ten-inch diameter, and online photographs account for the remaining chunks found at the Libyan site, including a light-weight nose cone and another particular piece of shrapnel – a single belt of metal bolted around the halfway point on the missile.
The "bullet holes" in the wall are explained by how the AGM-88 HARM destroys its radar target: by using particular cube-shaped fragments that are smaller than bullets, which blast from the missile above the ground with a proximity fuse – not on impact.
Expert descriptions of how the HARM performs may help explain why the missile did not land on a radar site.
The HARM has "an unparalleled ability to home in on enemy [radar] emitters" and knock out air defense systems, according to GlobalSecurity.org. But unlike precision-guided weapons, they "cannot be steered and under certain conditions may not guide on the target that they were originally fired."
