REVIEW: Lucy
French director Luc Besson loves strong women. He's made a career of female action figures: "La Femme Nikita" and "The Fifth Element", among them. "Lucy" is his most fierce creation to date. And Scarlett Johansson is the perfect choice to play her.
Lucy (we never learn her last name) is a student in Taipei having a 2 week old romance with a shady character when she becomes an unwilling drug mule, carrying a synthetic substance that gives her superhuman powers, expanding her brainpower til it literally blows her mind.. Morgan Freeman is the only academician in the world who fully understands what's happening to her.
What a fun kick-ass movie! It's not just what Lucy does with her brain-kicking butt as she pursues the kingpin who did this to her, it's a visually stylish film. Yeah- there are some holes in the plot- like why does Lucy need to ramp up her brain power to 100% when she can keep the bad Chinese gangsters away with just a wave of her arm??? But that would blow the whole premise of the movie- which is what would happen if we could use 100% of our brains, when we now use just 3 to 5%.
Unlike the 2 hour plus thrillers of the summer, "Lucy" gets it all done in just under 90 minutes , withouit those pesky 3-D glasses !! You don't even need to use even 1% of your brain power to love "Lucy".
3 stars

We do projects in the rural communities of Nepal focusing on empowering women:
- How to cook food, pasteurize water, and dry food in the sun.
- How to use solar energy to save time and costly fuel.
- How to do retained-heat cooking.
- How to reduce indoor air pollution.
- How to manage wastes and convert them into fuel briquettes.
- How to empower women community in rural areas through sustainable technologies.
All our efforts address the empowerment of women and aim at establishing a sustainable kitchen in the rural communities. We mostly cover four burning issues: (a) energy and environment, (b) water-borne and smoke-borne diseases, (c) indoor air pollution, and (d) income generation. Based on these things, FoST has developed a wide range of environment-friendly, easily-applicable, sustainable technologies for improving the quality of life of rural communities. We are exploring donors' support for continuing and expanding these efforts.
[show]News and recent developments
- March 2008: The BBC's annual World Challenge competition honors individuals and organizations that make a difference through enterprise and innovation at a grassroots level. The top 12 projects were promoted on the television program BBC World and in Newsweek magazine, followed by a public voting period. Solar cooker promoter Sanu Kaji reports that his organization, Foundation for Sustainable Technologies (FoST), was a top three finalist, winning $10,000 for its Cooking Without Gas project. The project was selected over nearly 1,000 others. Kaji Shrestha is grateful for the votes and support from the solar cooking community. In a letter to Solar Cookers International, he wrote, "Part of the credit goes to you and your solar cooking network for lobbying, and untiring support in our efforts." Congratulations to Kaji Shrestha and FoST for this well-deserved honor!
- December 2007: FoST of Nepal is one of the 3 finalists in the World Challenge 2007! As runner up FoST has won $10.000 in the global competition organized by BBC World, Shell and Newsweek.
- October 2007: FoST is among the 12 finalists for the World Challenge 2007. This global competition was set up three years ago by the BBC World, Newsweek and Shell to recognize the innovators of this world. The jury of the World Challenge has chosen FoST as one of the dozen finalists to be filmed for the 2007 series. The popular programmes will be shown on BBC World and featured in Newsweek from October 2007. Over 940 nominations were received which makes reaching the final 12 a great achievement for FoST. The 15 minute documentary film on FoST activities will be released on the BBC World on Saturday 3rd November 2007 and will be repeated as follows: November 3, 2007 at 0930 GMT; November 4, 2007; (not broadcast America or the Middle East) at 0330 GMT, 1330 GMT, and 1830 GMT; November 6, 2007 at 1830 GMT. To vote please go to: http://www.theworldchallenge.co.uk/cooking.php (listed under Cooking Without Gas).
- April 2007: The government of Nepal has adopted a rural energy policy aimed at reducing rural poverty and protecting the environment. The government hopes to encourage local organizations, nongovernmental organizations and cooperatives to develop a variety of new energy sources such as micro hydro, wind and solar. According to FoST director Sanu Kaji Shrestha, the government has recently increased its subsidy for some parabolic-type solar cookers to 4000 rupees per unit, while there also is a 50% subsidy on some solar box cookers. However, he says it is difficult to fulfill the government's criteria for receiving subsidies. He estimates there are about 2500 solar cookers distributed in rural communities so far.

Problem description
A memory allocation problem in file was found by Jeff Johnson, and a stack overflow corruption problem was found by David Endler. These problems have been corrected in file version 3.41 and likely affect all previous version. These problems pose a security threat as they can be used to execute arbitrary code by an attacker under the privileges of another user. Note that the attacker must first somehow convince the target user to execute file against a specially crafted file that triggers the buffer overflow in file. Update: The 8.2 and 9.0 packages installed data in a different directory than where they should have been installed, which broke compatability with a small number of programs. These updated packages place those files back in the appropriate location.

Short for WeAretheSuperlativeConspiracy, WeSC emerged from Stockholm's late-'90s skateboarding and music scene. Aimed at "intellectual slackers," as the brand puts it, WeSC arrived in the States in the mid-2000s — enlisting skaters, scenesters, DJs, actors, and other "WeActivists" to promote the brand. The invasion was successful. Now WeSC often feels more like a well-turned-out social clique than a clothing company, but its apparel — think logo-emblazoned T-shirts, polka-dotted shoes, plaid wool men's jackets, and classic women's denim shorts — can be quite, what's the word...<i>superlative</i>. In recent years WeSC has ventured into the audio accessories market, designing headphones and earbuds known just as much for their bright colors as for their crisp, clear sound.

What is an ISSN?
The ISSN - International Standard Serial Number | Why is the ISSN useful and necessary? | ISSN identifiers are assigned to | ISSN identifiers are not assined to | What is the difference between the ISSN and ISBN identifiers? | What kind of web publications obtain the ISSN? | ISSN-L (linke-ISSN) | Displaying the ISSN on publications | The ISSN and EAN code | Obtaining the ISSN in Estonia
The ISSN - International Standard Serial Number- is an identification code for serial publications. It is a unique eight-digit number separated by a hyphen into two four-digit groups and preceeded by the letters ISSN (e.g. ISSN 1406-6149). The ISSN does not contain elements for identifying the language, the country or the publisher of the publication.
- The ISSN is related to the title of serial publications - when the title changes, a new ISSN is assigned.
Why is the ISSN useful and necessary?
- It enables quick and exact identification of publications,
- facilitates the ordering and selling of publications worldwide,
- on the basis of the ISSN the EAN Bar Code can be created,
- increases popularity of publications, since all records of publications that have obtained ISSN are sent to the international database of serial publications, ISSN Register in Paris.
ISSN identifiers are assigned to:
Journals, newspapers, annuals (accounts, yearbooks, directories, etc.), serial publications (transactions, collections, etc) regardless of whether these items are issued in print, on CD-ROMs or online.
ISSN identifiers are not assined to:
Publications of temporary value ( ad publications, catalogues, calendars, crossword publications, short-term plans and reports of institutions, etc).
What is the difference between the ISSN and ISBN identifiers?
The ISBN is a book identifier; the ISSN is assigned to serial publications. Book series, transactions and other continuing resources may obtain both identifiers. A serial has a common ISSN which remains the same unless the title of a serial changes. Every specific title of a continuing publication obtains a new ISBN number.
What kind of web publications obtain the ISSN?
The Estonian ISSN Centre suggests that the ISSN be assigned to web publications which
- are parallel versions of print serials (both publications obtain their own ISSN); whereas the content of the web publication should more or less coincide with the content of the print version;
- are issued only online, either in the form of a traditional journal or a serial publication (as numbers or successive parts), or are constantly updated, with their definite titles and responsibility data.
Beginning from 2009 a new standard number ISSN-L (linke-ISSN) based on the ISSN will be launched in Estonia. The use of the ISSN-L is defined in the new international standard ISO 3297:2007.
The ISSN-L
helps bring together and link various medium versions of serial publications (printed and online items, CD-ROMs),
- regardless of a medium version, enables search in information systems, databases, library catalogues,
- ISSN-L may be connected to other identification and linking systems (e.g. OpenURL).
The ISSN-L will not change the use of an ordinary ISSN, it is only added to it.
The ISSN-L may be obtained from the Estonian ISSN Centre along with an ordinary ISSN.
- ISSN-L numbers are designated to all publications obtaining ISSN identifiers, even though a publication is issued on only one medium.
- ISSN-L will be designated among those ISSNs that have been assigned to various medium versions of a serial publication. ISSN-L is based on the ISSN of the first version of a publication.
- ISSN-L is changed only when the titles of serial publications on various medium versions and ISSNs undergo a change at the same time. If the title and the ISSN are changed only on one medium, the ISSN-L remains the same for all versions.
More information on ISSN-L is available on the homepage of the International ISSN Centre.
Displaying the ISSN on publications
- The ISSN is printed on a visible location of each issue of a serial using the following preference: front cover, title page, back cover. For journals, the ISSN should be displayed on the upper right-hand corner of the front cover.
- For CD-ROMs, the ISSN is displayed on the opening page, the information carrier, and the container
- For web publication, the ISSN is displayed on a visible location on the homepage or the opening page of a publication, preferably close to the title. In case of both, print and online versions, it is preferable to present both ISSNs.
- The suggested location for printing ISSN-L on each publication is above the ISSN.
ISSN 1406-0949 (online)
ISSN 1406-0957 (print)
In 1980, an agreement was concluded between the International GS1 Organisation, the International ISBN Agency and the International ISSN Centre with the aim to facilitate obtaining trade item barcodes by the publishers who have joined the standard numbering system. In Estonia, this register is maintained by the non-profit GS1 Estonia who is a member of the GS1 International.
The publications with ISSN identifiers, that are registered in the Estonian ISSN Centre, obtain EAN-13 barcodes. For this purpose, a publisher should join the non-profit GS1 Estonia organisation.

'Do NOT Talk To Her In The Morning:' 15 Marriage Tips From A Foolish Husband
There are a few things that I can do pretty well.
How many's a few?
I dunno…four? Maybe five?
I can make a stir-fry that I learned years and years ago from a cookbook by my idol, Nigel Slater. It's a Thai one, and I can whip it up swiftly with my eyes closed (though I usually have no reason to close 'em). And friend, I truly believe it is damn near perfection every single time.
I can catch trout on flies. Not all the time, mind you, but enough of the times so that I consider myself a decent enough fly fisherman to keep going.
I make good feta/basil/tomato omelets.
How many's that?
Okay, one more.
I can play medieval castle with my kids for way longer than they can. Not once, I tell you, have I been bored and walked away from the imaginary moats or the fake plastic dragons before they have.
So, as you can see, I have my hands full with enough being good at this'n'that that it would almost come as a surprise to many of my inquisitors to discover that I seem to lack quite a bit of suave when it comes to doing one thing in particular: being a husband. Now, don't get excited, this won't be a tale of my debauchery, of my endless drinking and womanizing and gambling, of me being a flat-out rogue in matrimony.
I'm afraid that I'm far too vanilla-bean to offer you up such a generous silver platter of morsels and tidbits. Instead, what I stand to offer any man (or woman!) who is either bumbling through a marriage of his/her own or engaged to be married in the near future (and thus completely blinded by something very shiny which they think is a diamond but which turns out to be a teensy sharp shard of dangerous glass), is the very useful and hard-earned knowledge of a dimwitted fool who has been married for thousands of days.
What I am saying is this. Follow me down this familiar rabbit hole of mine if, and only if, you'd like to become a better spouse by learning from the best, ahem…I mean the worst.
I'm the best of the worst, okay?
So, just listen up…
You can also find Serge on his personal blog, Thunder Pie.

Eovaldi to bring heat as Marlins face Mets in opener
Fireballer to square off against New York's Niese in Miami
The Marlins promise to bring the heat against the Mets on Monday night at Marlins Park.
Nathan Eovaldi, according to Fangraphs.com, boosts the second highest fastball velocity among all starting pitchers. The right-hander is averaging 96 mph with his fastball. Only Kansas City's Yordano Ventura, who is bringing it at 96.7 mph, is faster.
The Mets are countering with a lefty who actually has excelled in chilly conditions.
Left-hander Jon Niese is coming off a strong performance in terrible weather at Philadelphia. On a rainy 46-degree day, Niese picked up a win, limiting the Phillies to one run in seven innings.
"He's done a tremendous job the way he's handled this inclement weather -- not just the cold, but the wet, soft mounds," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "He went out and pitched another great game."
Expect ideal conditions at Marlins Park, which has a retractable roof.
The Marlins have been hot during their homestand, taking five of six from the Braves and Dodgers.
Now they'll look to keep in rolling against the Mets, a team they lost two of three to at Citi Field from April 25-27.
Eovaldi didn't pitch in that series. But the right-hander has been impressive this season, posting a 2.58 ERA.
"Command of the fastball," Eovaldi said. "Everything works off the fastball -- moving it inside and out, then the slider. The changeup has been feeling a lot better. I've been throwing it to the righties a few times. It's really the consistency of the fastball, and my offspeed comes with that."
Marlins: Stanton staying strong
No ballpark can contain Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who blasted two homers on Sunday against the Dodgers at Marlins Park. Stanton now has 10 on the season, and enjoyed his 11th career multi-homer game, and second of the season. He also hit two in a game on April 12 at Philadelphia.
Stanton has played in every game, but he could sit out once before the club heads to the West Coast next week. Manager Mike Redmond has hinted that Stanton could be given Wednesday off, the series finale with New York.
The 24-year-old slugger is batting .389 with two homers in his career off Niese.
Mets: Starters looking to rebound
Mets starters had pitched at least five innings in each of their 26 games entering their series at Colorado.
But Bartolo Colon pitched 4 2/3 innings on Thursday, and Zack Wheeler threw four innings on Friday. Jenrry Mejia threw 4 1/3 innings on Saturday.
With the starters having shorter outings, it has put a drain on the bullpen
The Mets will look to regroup at Miami.
Collins said the key guys in the bullpen should be good to go for the series at Marlins Park.
Worth noting
• David Wright has enjoyed good success throughout his career against the Marlins, batting .318 lifetime against them with 24 home runs and 106 RBIs.
• Daniel Murphy is 4-for-11 (.364) with two doubles in his career against Eovaldi.
• Miami's Steve Cishek had his team-record streak of consecutive saves snapped at 33 against the Mets on April 25 at Citi Field.

Mountain pine beetle
The mountain pine beetle (MPB) Dendroctonus ponderosae, is a species of bark beetle native to the forests of western North America from Mexico to central British Columbia. It has a hard black exoskeleton, and measures about 5 millimeters, about the size of a grain of rice.
Mountain pine beetles inhabit ponderosa, lodgepole, Scotch and limber pine trees. Normally, these insects play an important role in the life of a forest, attacking old or weakened trees, and speeding development of a younger forest. However, unusual hot, dry summers and mild winters in central British Columbia during the last few years, along with forests filled with mature lodgepole pine, have led to an unprecedented epidemic.[1]
It may be the largest forest insect blight ever seen in North America.[2] Climate change is said by some to have contributed to the size and severity of the outbreak, and the outbreak itself may, with similar infestations, have significant effects on the capability of northern forests to remove greenhouse gas (CO2) from the atmosphere.[3]
Contents |
Tree infestations
Mountain pine beetles affect pine trees by laying eggs under the bark. The beetles introduce blue stain fungus into the sapwood that prevents the tree from repelling and killing the attacking beetles with tree pitch flow. The fungus also blocks water and nutrient transport within the tree. On the tree exterior, this results in popcorn-shaped masses of resin, called "pitch tubes", where the beetles have entered.[4] The joint action of larval feeding and fungal colonization kills the host tree within a few weeks of successful attack (the fungus and feeding by the larvae girdles the tree, cutting off the flow of water and nutrients). When the tree is first attacked, it remains green. Usually within a year of attack, the needles will have turned red. This means the tree is dying or dead, and the beetles have moved to another tree. In three to four years after the attack, very little foliage is left, so the trees appear grey.[5]
As beetle populations increase or more trees become stressed because of drought or other causes, the population may quickly increase and spread. Healthy trees are then attacked, and huge areas of mature pine stands may be threatened or killed. Warm summers and mild winters play a role in both insect survival and the continuation and intensification of an outbreak. Adverse weather conditions (such as winter lows of -40 °C) can reduce the beetle populations and slow the spread, but the insects can recover quickly and resume their attack on otherwise healthy forests.
Life cycle
Beetles develop through four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Except for a few days during the summer when adults emerge from brood trees and fly to attack new host trees, all life stages are spent beneath the bark.[6]
In low elevation stands and in warm years, mountain pine beetles require one year to complete a generation. At high elevations, where summers are typically cooler, life cycles may vary from one to two years.
Female beetles initiate attacks. As they chew into the inner bark and phloem, pheromones are released, attracting male and female beetles to the same tree. The attacking beetles produce more pheromones, resulting in a mass attack that overcomes the tree's defenses, and results in attacks on adjacent trees.
Natural predators of the mountain pine beetle include certain birds, particularly woodpeckers, and various insects.
Management techniques
Management techniques include harvesting at the leading edges of what is known as "green attack", as well as other techniques that can be used to manage infestations on a smaller scale, including:[7]
- Pheromone baiting - is luring beetles into trees that have been 'baited' with a synthetic hormone that mimics the scent of a female beetle. Beetles can then be contained in a single area, where they can more easily be destroyed.
- Sanitation harvesting - is removing single infested trees to control the spread of beetle populations to other areas.
- Snip and skid - is removing groups of infested trees that are scattered over a large area.
- Controlled, or mosaic, burning - is burning an area where infested trees are concentrated, to reduce high beetle infestations in the area or to help reduce the fire hazard in an area.
- Fall and burn - is cutting (felling) and burning beetle-infested trees to prevent the spread of beetle populations to other areas. This is usually done in winter, to reduce the risk of starting forest fires.
The US Forest Service tested chitosan,[8][9] an ecofriendly biopesticide, to pre-arm pine trees to defend themselves against MPB. The US Forest Service results show AgriHouse's EPA-registered ODC Collodial Chitosan elicited a 40% increase in pine resin (P<0.05) in southern pine trees. One milliliter ODC chitosan per 10 gallons water was applied to the ground area within the drip ring of loblolly pine trees. The application was repeated three times from May through September in 2008. The ODC chitosan was responsible for eliciting natural defense responses of increased resin pitch-outs, with the ability to destroy 37% of the pine beetle eggs.[10] Dr. Jim Linden, Microbiologist, Colorado State University, stated the chitosan increased resin pitch-outs to push the boring pine beetle out of the tree, preventing the MPB from entering the pine tree and spreading blue stain mold.[11]
Aggressively searching out, removing, and destroying the brood in infested trees is the best way to slow the spread of mountain pine beetles; however, it may not protect specific trees. Spraying trees to prevent attack is the most effective way to protect a small number of high-value trees from mountain pine beetles. Carbaryl (Sevin SL and XLR, and others), permethrin (Astro, Dragnet, and others), and bifenthrin (Onyx) are registered in the United States for use in the prevention of pine beetle infestations. Carbaryl is considered by the EPA to likely be carcinogenic to humans. It is moderately toxic to wild birds and partially to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Permethrin is easily metabolized in mammalian livers, so is less dangerous to humans. Birds are also practically not affected by permethrin. Negative effects can be seen in aquatic ecosystems, as well as it being very toxic to beneficial insects. Bifenthrin is moderately dangerous to mammals, including humans; it is slightly more toxic to birds and aquatic ecosystems than permethrin, as well as extremely toxic to beneficial insects.[12]
Spraying is very effective at protecting the pines, but is not recommended for large-scale use due to ecological and financial reasons. Pines should be sprayed before the beetle flight in July, so May or June will yield the best results. Spraying one's own trees requires both spraying and safety equipment; a licensed applicator is highly recommended.[13]
Verbenone is the main compound for the anti-aggregate pheromone for the mountain pine beetle. This compound is produced by three companies: Contech, Synergy Semiochemicals Corp. and Hercon Environmental. Verbenone is a behavior-modifying pheromone that tricks the pine beetle into believing the tree is no longer useful to more beetles and they will leave the tree alone. It is useful in campsites and places close to creeks and rivers where spraying cannot be used. Verbenone does not kill the insects; it simply pushes them away to another tree or area. It has been fairly successful in areas with low beetle populations, but has not been very successful in areas with higher populations. It is only useful in small-scale operations.[14]
Colorado's forests are much more densely wooded, making them much more susceptible to the beetles. Current legislation is in place to help with the growing beetle problem. Colorado Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet announced that Colorado will receive $30 million of the $40 million dollars being diverted by the U.S. Forest Service to fight the millions of acres of damage caused by the mountain pine beetle in the Rocky Mountain region.
Timber quality
Wood from beetle-affected trees retains its commercial value for eight to 12 years after the tree has died. This so-called 'shelf life' is dependent on a number of factors, including economic and stand site conditions. The trees remain commercially viable longer under drier conditions. In areas where it is wetter, the trees tend to rot at the base and fall faster, especially if they are larger.[15] The blue stain fungus has no effect on the wood's strength properties.
The timber can be used for anything from standard framing lumber to engineered wood products, such as glue-laminated (glulam) products and cross-laminated panels. The epidemic in British Columbia is also creating opportunities for the emerging bioenergy industry.
Fire Hazards
The long-held belief that beetle infestations and resulting deadkill lead to more devastating forest fires is currently being challenged. Ongoing NASA studies have shown that beetle kill may actually reduce available small fuels and consequently limit the effect and reach of fires.[16]
Current outbreak
The current outbreak of mountain pine beetles is ten times larger than previous outbreaks.[17] Huge swaths of central British Columbia (BC) and parts of Alberta have been hit badly, with over 40 million acres (160,000 km2) of BC's forests affected.[18] Under the presumption that the large areas of dead pine stands represent a potential fire hazard, the BC government is directing fuel management activities in beetle areas as recommended in the 2003 Firestorm Provincial Review.[19] Harvesting affected stands aids fire management by removing the presumed hazard and breaking the continuity of the fuels. These fuel management treatments are specifically designed to reduce interface fire threats to communities and First Nations located in the infestation zone. The interface is the area where urban development and wilderness meet.
The mountain pine beetle has impacted more than 900 miles (1,400 km) of trail, 3,200 miles (5,100 km) of road and 21,000 acres (85 km2) of developed recreation sites over 3,600,000 acres (15,000 km2) in Colorado and southeastern Wyoming. The US Forest Service is working on a hazard tree removal strategy, prioritizing high-use recreation areas, such as campgrounds, roads and National Forest Service lands adjacent to vulnerable public infrastructure such as power lines and near communities.[20]

Effect on carbon cycle
Researchers from the Canadian Forest Service have studied the relationship between the carbon cycle and forest fires, logging and tree deaths. They concluded by 2020, the pine beetle outbreak will have released 270 megatonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from Canadian forests. There is yet to be an accepted study of the carbon cycle effect over a future period of time for North American forests.[17]
Effect on water resources
Hydrologists from the University of Colorado have investigated the impacts of beetle-infested forests on the water cycle, specifically, snow accumulation and melt. They concluded that dead forests will accumulate more snowpack as a result of thinner tree canopies and decreased snow sublimation. These thinned canopies also cause faster snow melt by allowing more sunlight through to the forest floor and lowering the snowpack albedo, as a result of needle litter on the snow surface.[21] Augmented snowpack coupled with dead trees that no longer transpire will likely lead to more available water.
Biofuel/alternative energy production from beetle-killed trees
The huge number of beetle-killed trees poses a substantial risk of devastating forest fires. Forest thinning to mitigate fire danger is expensive and resource-intensive (Kumar 2009). Attention is turning to ways to turn this liability into a source of cellulosic biofuels.
Leaders in western U.S. states and Canadian provinces have promoted legislation to provide incentives for companies using beetle-killed trees for biofuel or biopower applications. Sellable commodities resulting from MPB damage can help subsidize the cost of forest thinning projects and support new job markets. Colorado's Department of Energy recently provided $30 million toward construction of the state's first cellulosic ethanol plant, to convert beetle kill into ethanol. Lignin, a byproduct of the process, can be sold for applications in lubricants and other goods (MacLachlan).

About Song For Marion
A heartwarming comedy in the vein of 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' and 'Calendar Girls'. Crotchety pensioner Arthur (Terence Stamp) is very different from his cheerful wife Marion (Vanessa Redgrave). He does not share her love of singing and rolls his eyes at her performances with the ragtag local choir The OAPZ, whose enthusiastic young leader Elizabeth (Gemma Arterton) encourages Marion and her friends to jazz up music of all genres. Marion, who is terminally ill, struggles to make it to practice every week and Arthur tries his best to help her. As her condition worsens Arthur finds himself drawn into the group and with a big competition looming he might have to stop complaining and sing. He also hopes to improve his difficult relationship with his son (Christopher Eccleston).

Any pictures on the kifaru timberline. There website shows the outside but I couldn't really see any detail
Any pictures on the kifaru timberline. There website shows the outside but I couldn't really see any detail
Try looking at rokslide.com there's a comparison between the two packs and a pretty good video. Hope this helps
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
How long have you been using your blue widow? Do you use it mostly for archery or just packing stuff? When's look at eberlestock's website they say the dragonfly is more for the gun hunter and the blue widow was the dragon fly designed for an archery hunter. Just wondering....trying to gather all the info I can.
I work with a guy that sells packs, both hunting and hiking, and he recommends the packs like Gregory as the ones to go with when it comes to long trips because they are lighter weight and have better support. They will not have features to carry bows or guns and the waterproofing of some of the hunting packs.
I've only got a season on it, about 10 days of hunting, and probably close to 50 days just training with it on. I hiked hills all spring and summer with 60-75 pounds in it, and did a 9 day wilderness hunt with it as well. With the spike duffle, it held everything I needed for 9 days, with room to spare.
I use it for archery hunting, but there's no reason you can't crossover with it. the dragon fly comes with a scabbard, the blue widow doesnt.. When I looked at the dragon fly, I couldn't figure out how a guy could get his gun out of the scabbard without being double jointed though..
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Backpacking packs have really comfortable suspensions ... With backpacking weights. They are not designed with hunting loads in mind. The suspensions on the packs I originally listed give up nothing to high end backpacking packs, and were designed with hunting weights as design goals.
I guess I should have mentioned that I brought up backpacking packs because you can get a Gregory on close-out in the $200-$300 range, most likely better than high end hunting packs, but you give up the over load principle of the later.
I'm very new to this game, but have heard alot about the badlands packs. I saw that they werent mentioned in the list of upper end packs?

The Mesa Pug Meetup is all about meeting new friends who love to laugh and enjoy watching and interacting with Pugs and their people! It is always a great time and there's no better place to be on a beautiful Saturday morning. We strive to meet on a consistent schedule which is normally the 3rd Saturday of every month at 8:30 a.m. I do recommend checking this website for changes but they are rare.
New members are always WELCOME at our meetups: We have a great venue at Power Road Animal Hospital. Check out the pictures and see the great grassy HUGE play area. The staff is extremely accommodating and welcomes us by providing water, a small swimming pool (the pugs love it) and a great backyard ideal for playing. Members bring lawn chairs and kick back! I don't know of a single place like this where smiles adorn everyone's faces!
All members need to present up-to-date vaccination records so we can keep our Pugs healthy! You don't have to live in Mesa to join - we welcome Pugs from all of Arizona! Please do not bring non-Pug breeds. Pug mixes are fine. Park in the Daycare lot next to the animal hospital so that we don't block the Hospital's Business and Customers. Thank you!

Attractive The worst part was putting it together with those idiot pictures and no words. Once we got it together, it looks great. The flap that comes up to expand the butcher block top is not very sturdy at all- don't lean on it! It's pretty small but gave me lots of space in my kitchen. The bottom of what is called the knife rack is open-if you have little kids they could put their fingers in there and get cut-I won't be using it. It is perfect for one adult or 2 children to eat at. I really like the look.

Just What I Needed My kitchen was a little short on counter space and storage. This product arrived in perfect condition and was not short any parts. It was easy to assemble and fits perfectly in my kitchen space.The fact that it has wheels on the bottom has been a great addition. In the photo it appears to be beige in color but IT IS bright white.

Sturdy and looks great This is a very handy cabinet to have in a small kitchen. My husband put it together quickly and it looks great. The only negative is the drawer doesn't slide in and out as smoothly as a regular kitchen cabinet drawer and probably can't hold very heavy items, but it's not a deal breaker. Love it!

Great Product The cart is definitely white, not like shown in the picture. Which is great because I wanted it to be white. A bit tricky do assemble, but definitely not too bad if you just look at the small details on the instructions. Looks great when assembled! Very high quality.

Sturdy, good size This cart was one of the least expensive I have been able to find. It is a good size, and sturdy. The components work properly, it looks good. I had no trouble building it by myself. The knife block is pretty useless. It is essentially a box with no bottom and a tiny slit at the top, which you are supposed to set your knives into, holding 2, maybe 3. Had I realized what it was going to be before hand - I would have turned it upside down and made it a storage place for plastic bags or something.

Perfect for small kitchen I have a small apartment with a small kitchen. My kitchen has one drawer so of course I needed another drawer. This was great for my additional counter space and drawer. I have my microwave on top and trash bags and soda and water and even my cat food underneath in cabinets. I get many uses out of it and it just sits perfectly in the corner. Couldn't ask for more.

Heavy duty cart The instruction are not very good. Do not put on the casters, doors or shelves until last. There is several different size screws and you have to be careful which size you are using in what place. We had to unscrew several screws at the end of the process because we used the wrong length screw in the wrong place. It takes two people to put this together since the thing is a little heavy. We had issues with the drawer not sliding in all the way, but a little sanding on the end of the pull did the trick. Becarefull of the thin wood pieces for the drawer slides. Do not put the bottom rung of the drawer slide in until after you put on the top. I did take the recommendation of one person and laid the top on the floor and place the cart on top. That helped alot. If it wasn't for the lousy instructions, I would have given it a higher rating.

Nice but tiny This cart is nice but storage areas are extremely small. And when the slides for the leaf are in, they create even less room in the already very tiny drawer. Also directions were extremely vague and difficult to understand. We'll see how long I keep this island before trading up to something more substantial.

Great price and product for our need... Plus...was able to purchase with 10% off offer which sealed the deal....
Nice looking, not too big, great reviews!
How many shelves inside the cabinet? And if it's only 1, can you add another shelf?
Hello Tracey, there are no shelves inside the cabinet. Thanks for shopping with us!
Can this be assembled without the knife block?
Thank you for your question, BLB. Yes, the White Base Kitchen Cart with Natural Top can be assembled without the knife holder. But, the holes that the knife holder attaches to will show. Have a great day.
Can you recommend low back bar stools to fit
Helo barry, I'll put a suggestion here that is a low back stool that has natural wood with a white seat. Please see, Item #: 15844983. Thank you for shopping with us. Rochelle B
Yes, but no more than 2 and the overhang is only about 12" deep. Also, in picture it appears cream colored, but, in fact, is white.
Do the casters lock?
Hello famuqtpie, 2 of the casters lock. If you have any additional questions please feel free to let us know. Thank you for shopping with us!
front casters lock
2 of them do.
Yes, 2 of them do.
Yes, two lock, but They don't seem to lock and unlock easily. I only tired once, but I never need to use them. The cart is quite sturdy and heavy and will not roll away on it own or due to light pressure . You need to actually push it. So unless your floor is tilted, I would not worry. :-)
Is this cart a true bright white? in the photos, it looks more like an ivory or antique white.
Hello stereo1, other customers have reviewed that the cart is in fact white. I hope that helps. Thank you for shopping with us.
Pure white.
yes, it is just white.
Yes, perfectly decorator type white.
Is this a butcher block top that one can work and cut on?
Thank you for your interest in the White Base Kitchen Cart with Natural Top. The top is not a cutting board.
You can work on it (roll dough, etc.) but don't cut on it.
In the Product Details it is stated that the cart is assembled, but a number of the reviews imply that assembly is required. Does it in fact arrive assembled?
It requires some assembly.
Needs to be assembled, however it is a good value
does this come in black?
Unfortunately, we do not have this available in black on our site.

A chopping board is one of the most basic pieces of equipment in the kitchen. Chopping boards, also known as cutting boards and butcher blocks, protect your countertops from scratches and your knives from excessive dulling.

Best Fills for Down Comforters
Warm and incredibly soft, down comforters are the height of luxurious bedding. Like all other bedding, down comforters can range from inexpensive to costly. The proof is in the filling. Inexpensive down comforters are filled with a combination of down and polyester or down and feathers. The best down comforters, which are usually also the most expensive, are full of pure, thick down. Take a look below to learn the best fills for down comforters. Hungarian goose down: Hungarian goose down is considered the most luxurious type of down. These extreme cold-weather birds have very thick, almost odorless tufts of down at the base of their feathers. This heavy, long-lasting down is most often used in comforters with a fill rating of 800, which means they can keep a person warm even in cold conditions. Eiderdown: Eiderdown is harvested by hand from the abandoned nests of Eider ducks, which pluck the down from their own backs and use it to cover their eggs. Eider ducks live in cold climates, so their down is thick and heavy. It is used in high-quality comforters with a fill rating of between 700 and 800. Eider duck down is the only type of duck down used in high-quality comforters. All other duck down is usually considered too smelly (and some duck down has tiny barbs) and is used in much less expensive comforters. Grey and white goose down: Grey goose down is used in dark comforters due it its grey color, but it is the same as white goose down in all other ways. Grey and white goose down, which is usually harvested from European or Chinese geese, is the most popular type of down used in middle-price-range pure down comforters. These comforters usually have a fill rating of 600 and above. Hypodown: Hypodown is a mixture of white goose down and milkweed. This all-natural filling is hypoallergenic and much more durable than pure down comforters. While pure down is still considered to be the preferable fill for comforters by most people, hypodown is gaining popularity with consumers who want a longer lasting product without synthetic fills.

The performance improvements look nice.
Thanks for all the hard work.
This has to be the lowest-level discussion forum about open source anything....
Garbage developers? What the fuck is wrong with you people?
asdx is calling people (including a nvidia dev once!) all sorts of things, and nothing. But someone does the same about nouveau, and suddenly it's "what's wrong with you people?" ??
Good work GT220. Apparently this forum is about "be totally obnoxious and insult all you want, as long as the target isn't an open source driver".
You don't like asdx, therefore Nouveau developers are garbage?
Just close this whole forum, ffs.
Can't accept the bitter truth? Just look at all the articles on nouveau garbage right on this website.
The developers are wasting time trying to write open source drivers that clearly will always be inferior. Even the Radeon open source drivers are terrible and not to mention AMD doesn't even release full documentation for things like UVD. Intel drivers? Just as terrible and lag the Windows drivers that has higher performance and OpenGL 4.0 support.
Open source driver hypocrites are hilariously unfunny, they don't go after companies like Imagination/PowerVR which don't supply any Linux drivers or support Linux at all but attack companies that provide the highest quality Linux drivers.
You are an idiot.
You can have any opinion on software licencing and video drivers you wish, that's legitimate. But calling people who are giving you free code "garbage" just because your game runs faster with a different driver is psychopathic behaviour.
You are ill.
There were PowerVR Android drivers in the past. Are they not doing Android phones anymore?
Anyway... back on topic. I hope Valve pushes this beta out soon. I'm ready to do some serious testing on Linux.
Speak for yourself. The nouveau garbage is bad for everything else, not just games.
"This eight-year-old graphics card is still failing badly with Nouveau."
Like I said, you open source driver retards want horrible, subpar experience, thats your choice. Don't try and troll in the Nvidia drivers threads.
