Gear Closet: CamelBak All ClearPosted on the 14 March 2012 by Kungfujedi
The All Clear features a tough plastic 750 milliliter water bottle with a high tech lid that incorporates the ultraviolet light, a small LCD screen, and an on-off button. Travelers simply fill the bottle with water, screw the cap on and hit the power button. That will turn on the UV light and start a sixty second countdown timer. While that timer is ticking away, you simply rotate the bottle 180º to circulate the water, ensuring that all of the liquid is exposed to the bacteria killing rays. Once the timer stops the water is safe to drink.
UV purification systems obviously aren't new but what makes the All Clear unique is the fact that the light is integrated so nicely into the the lid of the water bottle. After all, we rarely go anywhere without a good water bottle these days and the fact that that same bottle can clear harmful bacteria from the water we drink is a convenience that is hard to deny.
CamelBak has integrated some other excellent features into the All Clear as well. For instance, the UV light is powered by a rechargeable batter that is good for about 80 uses before needing to be plugged in. The battery can also be charged via USB, which means it can be plugged directly into your computer, a battery pack or even a portable solar charger. That makes it perfect for those wanting to travel light. The USB charging cable is included and the package also includes a second lid – one that is more suitable for drinking – and a nice carrying case.
The All Clear is a well built and well designed purification system and it is difficult to find fault with it in any way. CamelBak has made it a snap to use and the powerful battery and light are good for 10,000 total purifications. The only real knock I have against the product is that the UV lid is a bit on the heavy side, especially when compared to the competition, although it is by no means particularly large.
If you're in the market for a new water purification system, and you're tired of using iodine tablets, then perhaps its time to move up to a UV solution. The All Clear from CamelBak is a fantastic option that costs just $99, which is a small price to pay to ensure the water you're drinking on the trail is safe.
Tip: I'd recommend using the bottle to purify several liters of water at one time, pouring each dose into a hydration bladder in your pack, and then stowing the bottle for future use. That way you have all the water you need for the day close at hand and you can hike for hours without having to find more.

Not sure how I missed this growing up, but I never knew that Marvel had a partnership with TSR to develop Marvel RPGs back in the 80s-90s. I came across this website that has the RPGs available for download for free in case anyone is interested. Seems interesting. Has anyone of the forum ever played these?

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray virtually launched his party's election campaign on Monday, at a meeting of the Indian Merchants' Chamber at its hall in Churchgate. In his introductory remarks, Subhash Desai, senior Sena leader, projected Uddhav as the next chief minister. In fact, Sena's vision document was also released at the function.
In his address, Thackeray assured the audience that his party would create a business-friendly atmosphere. "Sena is in power at the Centre and in Mumbai municipal corporation. If it captures power in the state, it would be a powerful combination. We will spread the red carpet for the business community so long as interests of the poor are not affected. The Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor and other mega projects would be given a boost. The interests of land owners and poor would also be protected," he asserted.
Referring to the alleged harassment by UPA II of the Birlas and other industrialists, Thackeray assured India Inc that the climate of fear would be removed, and sought their support.
IMC president Shailesh Vaidya said: "Last year, Narendra Modi addressed our meeting and today he is the PM. Today, Uddhav is addressing us from the same podium, so he will become the next CM."
Thackeray also said if voted to power, Sena would relocate the 225-acre Mahalaxmi racecourse to somewhere outside Mumbai and the place would be converted into a public park. "Why should a handful of people alone have access to a prime chunk of land in the heart of the city?" Thackeray asked. He also made it clear that the coastal road would be top priority, but assured that Koliwadas or fishing villages would not be affected.
He said most of Mumbai's landmarks were built by the British. "What have we built? We should build landmarks that would be remembered. Mumbai contributes 40% of the central exchequer. What does it get in return?" he asked.
If Sena formed the govt, it would set up virtual classrooms across the state, he said. "In the BMC, we have already set up an interactive virtual facility linking 400 classrooms. This project will be implemented in a larger scale so that children can get quality education. It'll be possible for someone studying in a remote corner of Maharashtra to get a Mumbai University degree," he said.

In his message, the Governor wanted the people to take a pledge, individually and collectively, to strive to uphold the unity, integrity and sovereignty of the country.
Lok Satta Party president Jayaprakash Narayan underlined the need for promoting a sense of nationalism among the youth so that the nation could tackle the grim challenge it was facing.

Referring to the execution history shown in Figure 31.7(a), when does POLLARD- RHO print the factor 73 of 1387?
Referring to the execution history shown in Figure 31.7(a), when does POLLARD- RHO print the factor 73 of 1387?
Pollard's rho
Consider the execution history of Pollard's rho for factorization:
Printing the factor 73 of 1387
Pollard's rho is the heuristic approach for finding the factors of a number n. Factorization of a number is the process of decomposing the number into the product of primes. Pollard's rho method is the heuristic approach so there is no specified running time or the guaranteed success rate exists but its effective in practice.
POLLARD'S-RHO algorithm
1. First, initialize the variable i to 1 and assign a random value to x1 by using random number generator variable y stores the recent value of xi when where k stores the even numbers starting from 2. After that we move to the loop which iterates until we find all the factors of number n.
2. Update the value of xi by squaring its most recent value and then find the greatest common divisor d by using function gcd and check if it the required value and print it.
Execution of algorithm POLLARD-RHO for n=1387:
Until all factors of n are not found:
This process repeats 16 times yieldsand =595
So greatest common divisor
The divisors of 219 are {3, 73} and the divisors of 1387 are {19, 73}
Hence after 16 times of execution of POLLARD-RHO algorithm the value of x and y are 595 and 814 then it results in greatest common divisor 73 which is the factor of 1387.

The North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service, the largest outreach program at North Carolina State University, reaches millions of North Carolina residents each year through local centers in the state's 100 counties and with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
Cooperative Extension is a partnership that began in 1914 when county, state and federal governments agreed that joining together they could provide all citizens with access to the wealth of knowledge generated by public universities. Today, that partnership includes county governments working to solve local problems, a national network of land-grant universities including N.C. State and N.C. A&T State University, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
In our county centers across the state, county agents are the bridge between the state's people and university. Agents educate the public through a variety of means such as meetings and workshops, field days and personal consultations. They also provide publications, newsletters, social media interaction, videos and other educational materials.
However, it is volunteers that are the backbone for North Carolina Cooperative Extension — offering and extending programming to the local citizens on sustaining agriculture and forestry, protecting the environment, maintaining viable communities, developing responsible youth and developing strong, healthy and safe families.
The Cooperative Extension's mission is education and the roles of extension volunteers relate directly to helping people secure information to educate themselves or others, according to Elizabeth Bolton, professor at the University of Florida. Volunteers assist with many services such as teaching groups, counseling individuals, organizing educational events and projects, assisting with research and demonstrations, sharing information informally and serving as officers and leaders.
There are many reasons people choose to volunteer with North Carolina Cooperative Extension. Volunteering can help…
* To build relationships
* To fulfill a sense of service
* Build the future
* Build self-esteem and self-confidence
* Learning to learn or learn new job skills
The North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service is continually looking for volunteers who have a few hours to give back to their community, especially the youth component of the extension service, 4-H Youth Development.
4-H is a national organization that helps young people, ages 5-19, develop knowledge and skills and become productive citizens. It also helps youth to be more capable to meet the challenges of today's society. 4-H allows youth and adults to work together to design programs that will teach skills for living.
"Volunteers in the North Carolina 4-H program come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, and fill many different roles," Davidson County 4-H agent Julie Jones said. "Volunteers may be club leaders with groups of young people. These volunteers help to plan educational programs and organize community service projects to give the youth opportunities to gain life skills such as responsibility, record keeping, and leadership.
"Some volunteers work with specific programs that are limited to a shorter-term commitment. These programs might include teaching a class in an area of interest like woodworking, sewing, electric, or etiquette. This might be a person who serves as a coach for young people preparing for public speaking contests or who serves as a judge for the competition."
Youth who develop such skills at an early age will continue to use those same skills as they grow, possibly helping them choose a career path that will lead to a successful and productive future. North Carolina Cooperative Extension's volunteers make a significant difference in our community for both young and old.
For additional information on volunteer opportunities or 4-H Youth Development, please contact Laura Grier, extension agent for 4-H Youth Development, at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.facebook.com/richmondcounty4h.

Love It or Leave It? Dooney & Bourke Phone Wristlet
Love It or Leave It? Dooney & Bourke Phone Wristlet
by Tech
Like us on Facebook
American designer Dooney & Bourke has teamed up with Verizon to bring you this stylish cell phone wristlet, which I saw on Gizmodiva. Made from D & B's signature multi-colored white fabric, the wristlets have a magnetic flap closure to keep your phone secure, a sky blue lining, and a removable leather wrist strap. Verizon seems to be using these carrying cases to promote the LG Chocolate handset, but they can be used with any mobile. Currently available for $50 from most Verizon Wireless stores across the US. Do you love them? Or are they too expensive for your taste?

D&B is turning into this horribly corny brand for teenagers. I love their all-weather leather, but the prints are just bad. Logos are a not a good idea in general. Plus, a cell phone wallet/purse is a bad idea if it only holds a phone and you've got to take the phone out to make a call. I say this holder's a thumbs-down. I'm using my phone constantly and this would just get in the way of things... plus, it's hideously unfashionable.

Dooney & Burke is so 1992. Takes me back to my suburban middle school. I think they make hideous bags and I would never carry this.
redshrt04 7 years
I prefer Dooney's wristlet because you can fit a phone and small camera but without the hastle of a big purse when you're out.

Cute, looks like it has an extra space for money as well.
precious_pets4 7 years
The problem I have is that by the time I realize my phone is ringing (usually zoned out), then I have to scramble to open case or purse or pull it out of pocket, it's gone to voice mail! Something on my wrist might be easier, but I don't think I would spend $50 on it

Definitely goes with my phone

Ladies, just say "NO!" to logo designs. It's t-t-t-t-acky! Unless you're a "tween," you shouldn't carry anything that is decorated in logos. You've had sufficient time in life to develop a sense of style.

Never been a fan of D&B and it seems a bit impractical and my purse which is by Hype has a nice slot for my cell phone and another for a pda, ipod or camera which seems much better than a wristlet..I'd probably end up leaving the wristlet somewhere lol

Love It
posted 6 years ago
I have had this toy for about 2 weeks now and it has yet to rip and my puppy carries it around with him all the time. It is now his second favorite toy of all time(his first is the 2x his size bounce ball). So far it to holding up to all the throwing and war playing. It may be because my puppy is only 10 pounds!
Pros: fun and cute
Cons: Nothing yet
