Breaking: Apple Drops the Hammer on Unlockers
Bad news, kiddies. Steve thinks we're having too much fun with his expensive toy, and henceforth has abolished the practice of iPhone unlocking. Stop it. Just stop. You know it's wrong, and puts wrinkles in Steve's mock turtlenecks. This bombshell was just dropped from the belly of the mothership...
Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone's software, which will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed. Apple plans to release the next iPhone software update, containing many new features including the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store (www.itunes.com), later this week. Apple strongly discourages users from installing unauthorized unlocking programs on their iPhones. Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty. The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing unlocking software is not covered under the iPhone's warranty.
So there you have it, folks. Unlock your iPhone, void your warranty. This is absurd, and I half wonder if it's merely a deliberate effort by Apple to back out of their warranty obligations.

Breaking: Apple Drops the Hammer on Unlockers
I disagree with both your attitude about Apple's position on unlocking iPhones and the disgusting mockup of Steve Jobs flipping off (apparently) iPhone purchasers who want their iPhones unlocked from AT&T's network. Your opinion is one thing, but to express it this way is less than childish and has no merit. Since you think your readers like this stuff, I don't belong here. There are too many good sources of info on the iPhone for me to remain one of your readers. I'll be back one more time to see if you have the fortitude to allow this comment to post unedited. It would surprise me.
iTunes wifi music store ? Gee whizz goodie golly I'll be good !
In the long run, I think that Apple is only hurting themselves with this decision. I've used AT&T in the past and had so many problems that I switched my family to Verizon; you really couldn't pay me enough to switch back to AT&T. Yet after seeing how a friend of mine had hacked his iPhone to use all the non-phone features (email, web browsing, contacts, calendaring, youtube, music, video...), I was considering buying iPhones for both my wife and I just to use as a "mobile organizer" minus the phone capability. Given Steve Jobs recent statements, I now definitely would not consider buying the iPhone and trying to do what my friend did. Also, there seems to be many developers who were creating some very usable native applications for the iPhone; with this latest decision, Apple really has discouraged these rogue developers from continuing to develop innovative applications. Unfortunately, Steve Jobs seems to be repeating history; the original Mac was also a groundbreaking device just like the iPhone, but it eventually lost out to Wintel because there weren't as many third party applications available for Mac as for Wintel machines.
I think it's time for a class action suit against Apple to clarify this once and for all. Unlocking is legal and wasn't specified before as making the warranty void. Contractual law does not allow normally for retroactive changes. It's time to prod "The Steve" from the dark path he is currently on.
it's all about greed? Can you explain how making FEWER people able to use the phone is greedy?
Its really not complicated: apple is in a partnership with ATT and apple's partner is shitting themselves because the supposedly ATT only phone is already hacked to use other carriers. Apple HAD to respond to this siuation, they probably have a legal duty to try to prevent non-ATT carrier use.
This could be construed as ATT being greedy, but not Apple IMO.
Sounds like Apple is playing scare tactics here. Of course the next update may not work with the current unlockers, however that won't last long.
It seems like this is Jobs/crapple attempt at appeasing AT&T to "do something" about the recent scourge of unlockers. Now they have a public policy and statement in place for legal reasons.
At 41, my iPhone was my first Apple purchase. After reading so much here on the blog and talking to others who have used Apple products for years. It spears that Mr. Jobbs, sometime ago lost touch with his customers and is intent on letting his ego influence his decisions rather than what his loyal customers want and need.
If Steve trashes my phone then I will never buy another Apple product. I'll be patient, someone will eventually build a product that is worthy, but he will lose me as a client for life. He tries to make too much money off his clients…
- Proprietary headphone jack??? What's up with that?
- $200.00 price decrease? He never planned that?
- Itouch IPOD with crippled address book?
"If steve trashes my phone then I will never buy another Apple product."
In the quiet words of the virgin mary... come again?
Steve is not trashing anyone's phone. If we did as apple wants and suggests and left our iphones alone then a software update from apple won't do any harm to them.
OTOH if you hacked your iphone (an act that I've done myself and is in no way supported or encouraged by apple) and the next *authorized* apple update turns our phones into a $600/$400 paperweights, well that's OUR fault, not Steve's.
I don't get what all of the huffing is about. Is anyone really reading this?
"Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone's software, which will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed."
Key word here is "many". There are hack jobs out there that were written by amateurs. They are poor hack jobs. They were written at a blinding speed by kids who, while very intelligent, might not be the most experienced person to hack a device like the iPhone. Its not hard to understand that. Apple is telling people that some of these hacks are written in such a way that an update from Apple could brick it. I'm fairly sure Apple has tested all of these hacks and has probably updated these hacked phones and found out some of the hacks killed the iPhone after the update.
So they are warning you. They are even telling you when the damn update is coming. You should thank them for that, right before you unhack your phone (if you can).
And how could anyone be surprised by this line?
"Apple strongly discourages users from installing unauthorized unlocking programs on their iPhones."
If people who unlocked their iPhone's didn't understand this from day one, that's nobody's fault but their own. That's just plain ignorance, no matter what your stance is on the whole locked cell phone debate.
And while I didn't read every word of the license agreement, I was fairly certain when I first heard about these unlocking hacks that doing such a thing would void my warranty if anything were to happen to it software-wise. I am not surprised by Apple making this perfectly clear to people. No one really reads those long license agreements anyways. But it was always there.
So I say again, I don't get what all of the huffing is about. You took a risk, just like those of us who bought it at $600/$500 as "early adopters", with full knowledge of the possibly consequences of such a risk. And now you are faced with the downside of that risk and its all about Apple's greed?
You are way wrong on this one Kent. You signed contract if you bought an iPhone. When you enter into a contract, you are legally obligated. If you don't like AT&T, or the limitations of the contract, then don't buy an iPhone, or file a suit to legally exempt yourself from the contract if you win.
It's not at all absurd that Apple and AT&T would want to protect their intellectual property and businesses built on the iPhone's success. If it is absurd that this might void the warranty, then why not have at it with code that writes and erases your iPhone's flash memory over and over through thousands of cycles. That would eventually physically damage the gates on the flash, and would render the device damaged. There are things that you can do in software that cause real physical harm.
But more to the point, there are many good reasons why Apple wants to limit and protect their product, and they have every right to do so. You are simply wrong.
I have to chime in on this one :) I can really see only two reasons for the Apple statement.
1. Since the iPhone is 99% OS, by unlocking it you may be required to modify Apple's code, I'm not an unlocker so someone else has to verify that one. Since modifying Apple's OS should be some form of copyright violation I can see their position if that's in fact the case.
2. Apple may have posted the statement in support of it's currently ONLY US carrier for the phone. Some of the impetus could have come from AT$T as well. Only Apple could make the posted statement anyway since it's their OS.
I'm sure Apple couldn't care less if someone bricks their phone by playing with it's software. That's the price you pay for altering your device. Apple should not have to warranty your phone because you decide to f*&k it up by altering it's code. I don't blame them for the post actually. I look at it as a warning that an impending update will likely screw up a modded phone and Apple throwing AT$T a bone trying to keep business in their pocket.
Does anyone know how much, if at all, AT$T threw towards apple for development?
None of the above is meant to recant any previous rantings about Jobs being a money grubbing jaginthebag. That opinion still stands ;)
Bitcher: AT&T Contributed $0.00 toward development. They sunk a considerable sum into beefing up their network, tuning and improving EDGE, etc.
To Kent:
People who purchase automobiles, and new ones at that, and modify them violate the manufacturer's warranty. Those who choose to purchase a product, purchase it "as is." If it doesn't suit them, they shouldn't buy it.
Those who modify their phones into toasters, Margarita mixers, or adobe brickes, do so knowing full well what they are doing. Apple was extremely clear that they were not opening the phone up to developers.
It seems simple to me:
You modify your phone
1. you void your warranty
2. you should not update your phone with Apple's newest software.
If the software you want isn't on the phone, sell it to someone who wants it, use it as a boat anchor, but don't make the manufacturer the enemy when its your own expectations that are at fault.
– Mikie
The updates are optional right? You don't have to install them. So what's all the fuss about. I live in the UK and have been using an unlocked iPhone for a few weeks.
I am perfectly happily with this device as it is, sans update. It beats any other phone I have owned (and there are many) hands down. No desperate need for an update as far as I can see.
So I am perfectly happy to let the kids see what happens after the update drops, and then do whatever seems to work once the dust has settled. If it seems worth it.
If this phone goes wrong in the future, it will be getting reset, and sent back. Warranty intact as far as I can see.
All in all, this seems like a load of hot air to passify AT&T.
As for the occassional bizarre apple fantwat rantings here. They are as brainless and sheep-like as ever. I love apple products, but can't for the life of me figure these people out..
Keep up the good work on the blog.
We all knew this was coming when we hacked our iPhones and I personally knew the risks going into it. With 4 phones locked into T-Mobile I was willing to take the risk of voiding my warranty to save myself $50/month to drop AT&T. I also made the decision that I was pleased enough with the iPhone in its current state to forget about any future updates since I knew Apple would try to lock us out of future updates.
This next update will have the WiFi iTunes store, but I imagine not too much else except for minor bug fixes. I don't care about the WiFi store since I don't buy iTunes music anyways. There hasn't been anything substantial with the first two minor updates and I really don't expect much for this first generation iPhone. There are lots of things that could be improved upon (Exchange email support, Flash in the browser, etc), but I wouldn't personally count on this anytime soon.
Didn't Apple state the iPhone couldn't be unlocked? And look what the hackers did. I will just sit tight and let those awesome hackers test out the next update before I make any moves with my T-Mobile iPhone. I am quite happy with it and love that I can use it with my T-Mobile Family Plan and my unlimited text messaging.
I really agree with Fluke's comments here... what is all the posturing and huffing about? Apple and ATT are watching each other's interests, period. And how can ANYONE think that they could hack their iphone and NOT have Apple say "If you hack your iphone our updates might brick it, sorry that's YOUR problem not ours..."
Agree with the majority here. Anytime you go monkeying around with the works for ANY sort of appliance/electronic device, the warranty goes out the window.

ABILENE (November 1, 2012) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor volleyball team grabbed control of the match early and the Cru rolled to a 3-0 victory over Texas Lutheran University in the opening match of the American Southwest Conference Championship Tournament Thursday in Abilene. UMHB will now advance to face U.T.-Dallas in a winner's bracket match at 5:00 PM today. The loss knocks TLU into an elimination match on Friday at 2:30 PM.
UMHB rolled to a 25-15, 25-13, 25-20 win over the Bulldogs to advance. The Cru is now 3-0 in matches against Texas Lutheran this season. UMHB broke open a tight first set as Elise Butler served five straight points. TLU closed to within 20-5, but the Cru scored the final five points to close it out. Shelby Prather served five straight points to open up the second set and Elise Butler served the final five points to give UMHB the set. The Cru fell behind 14-11 in the third set before Sapphire Reid served seven straight points. Tina Miller ended a late TLU rally and closed out the match with a kill on match point.
Reid led the Cru with 11 kills and Miller and Kendall Pye added 10 kills apiece. Prather had 34 assists and 14 digs and Pye topped five UMHB players in double figures with 18 digs. The Cru hit .256 as a team and added 7.0 team blocks.
Haley Lassiter and Marcia Sagebiel led the Bulldogs with seven kills apiece. Manda Martin added 16 assists and Megan Lee recorded 22 digs. TLU hit .040 as a team and posted just 2.0 team blocks.
UMHB improves to 21-6 on the season and matches the school single-season, Division III era record for victories set last season. The Cru is 0-2 on the year against U.T.-Dallas. The loss drops TLU to 15-12 on the year.

Speaker cites new rules for building 21st century city at conferenceWritten by Duane Ramsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The rules have changed for making successful communities in the 21st century, keynote speaker Tom Murphy told attendees at the 12th annual State of the Region Conference held April 14 by the Center for Regional Development at Bowling Green State University.
"Globalization is changing the way we do business today. Toledo, you're in a revolution here whether you know it or not," said Murphy, a senior fellow at the Urban Land Institute.
"Cities making choices to invest in infrastructure will succeed. It's always been a challenge to decide how we're going to invest. How can we take resources for development and invest for the future?" Murphy asked the audience.
"You need to think of Toledo, not as it is today, but as it can be in the future. You have to understand what your strengths are and use them to compete," Murphy said.
In order to succeed, he said "cities need leadership that reaches and challenges you to create a vision for the future." They must have a plan and strategy for development to build a 21st century city.
Murphy cited the revitalization of Pittsburgh, where he served as mayor for three terms, as an example.
With the demise of the steel and other industries and 22 percent unemployment, Pittsburgh began losing half its population at a rate of 50,000 residents per year beginning in 1983. It went from having 60 percent of its workers employed in manufacturing to only 15 percent today, Murphy reported.
"Intentionality is the key. We made an intentional decision to turn our city around," he said. They raised $100 million dollars locally and bought nearly 1,500 acres of vacant land once home to the steel mills.
Murphy said they invested in the cultural community and reclaimed the waterfront. They demolished the former Three Rivers Stadium and built new stadiums for the professional baseball and football teams.
The city took advantage of the educational and research capabilities of Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh to build a new economy. As a result, Google opened an office there that now employs 800 people, Murphy reported.
"Education is critical and means everything in this economy," said Murphy, who recognized Toledo's high school graduation rate that is higher than the national average.
He also cited examples of the Research Triangle in North Carolina where they transformed a tobacco economy into one of research and technology. It now has the highest per capita income in the U.S.
He pointed to Chicago where they are investing $2 billion in development around Millennium Park. Seven counties and 32 municipalities around Denver are investing $2 billion in development of a light rail system to help prevent further urban sprawl.
Murphy challenged members of the audience to get involved in helping to make Toledo a city for the 21st century.
"Just think about all the great opportunities we have to impact the economy in our region," Rodney Rogers, provost and vice president for academic affairs at BGSU, told attendees to open the conference.
BGSU's Center for Regional Development reported on the state of the region's economy in 2014.
"We're better off than we were two years ago. The numbers are going in the right direction. We must diversify the economy in the region to continue growing," said Michael Carroll, director of the CRD at BGSU.
The CRD reported that 6,600 new jobs were created in the region since 2009 for 1.18 percent employment growth. However, that figure is still well below the national average growth of 4.66 percent.
The Northwest Ohio region of 17 counties now has a population of 1.23 million people. With a labor force of about 600,000 workers, 534,100 are employed for 7.7 percent unemployment.
There are 63,172 firms in the region according to Hoovers, a Dunn and Bradstreet company. Of those firms, only 3,165 are engaged in manufacturing with only 122 involved in making vehicle parts.
Most of those firms, 52,490, have 10 employees or less, while 2,137 have more than 50 employees and 601, more than 100. Of the16 largest publicly-owned firms in the region, 10 or 63 percent had negative revenue growth in 2013, while only six (47 percent) had positive growth.
The economic outlook for the region in three sectors was addressed by three panelists at the conference.
Jack Penning of the Pixel Consulting Group, Inc. reported that regional air service has an impact on the local economy. He said the new knowledge-based economy relies more on air service for the global markets and that air service is often the top factor in deciding company relocations.
Kevin Smith of the Association of General Contractors of Northwest Ohio reported that things are improving for the construction trades with the housing, office and retail markets making a comeback. The organization represents 400 contractors with 10,000 to 12,000 employees in the region.
Aaron Pitts of Jobs Ohio said that program is working with six regions in Ohio to create and retain jobs. JobsOhio works with the Regional Growth Partnership in the Northwest Ohio region interacting with many local firms in the region.

100% he was fired
Very strong chance he was fired
Very strong chance he left on his own
100% he left on his own
Yelling "I HATE HIM RAWR11" Isn't going to make a guy go "Hmm...ok that wasn't a good game mechanic, perhaps something else."
And before anyone says anything, I didn't agree on everything I said but I respected his decision. He doesn't like flying mounts, I do. So really if anything this expansion or rather WoD would seem to imply he would stay(Lack of Flying mounts in 6.0 in Draenor. One would think he would stay. No, I believe this is the old fashioned him choosing to leave.
My opinion is that he was fired too. GC did lose 5M subs since he took the helm, that's hardly anything but full on failure.
Well, you are wrong. He wasn't fired but like he said, the Internet will try and be a detective.
Blizzard do not destroy Jaina Proudmoore's character. Make her who she once was, not full of rage and vengeance.,If you are curious about me or about my writing aspirations, feel free to pst me. Paladin-Sorcerer at your service! My Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/Aeluron Big fanboy of Yrel now. Love her now
He is either fired or not. And he isn't.
Why not? Because he says he isn't fired.
Because he is still working at Blizzard while 'training' the new guy before he starts with his new job.
No, GC and his team has kept this game from going the same road as all competition: The F2P-gutter while losing 2/3th of all subscriptions.
"There is a pervasive myth that making content hard will induce players to rise to the occasion. We find the opposite. " -- Ghostcrawler
"Almost every time I have gotten to know a critic personally, they keep up with the criticism but lose the venom." -- Ghostcrawler
I hate these casual Fridays ruining it for real Fridays.
I think we'll just stop this here.
Ghostcrawler was not fired. He chose to leave. People do it all the time; it's part of life. People desire a change and make a decision - sometimes they even change careers entirely.
Trolling the forum by posting posts that "WoW is going to be good because GC was fired!" will be infracted as all it does is derail the thread into another fight about how he wasn't fired.

Hi. Im not even sure if i have pre-e or just post partim BP but i've developed high blood pressure after my c section and was put on labetalol 200mg 3 times a day. After the discharge i went to my GP and was told i can down my dose to 2 times daily (my pressure was running 135/85-145/95 on meds before dose). After a week my pressure started dropping and at my appointment was 101/69 (low for me but it was after the pill). He said stop taking it and so i did but after several days BP went up to 150/100 and he said start taking labetalol again but 200mg mornings only. I did that for 12 days, My BP before the pill would be late 130's/late 80s, sometimes a bit lower sometimes 140's/90's (so a bit higher than with 2 pills a day but very close). Anyways after almost 2 weeks on 1 tablet a day my BP went up to 180/112 (higher then ever). My GP said start taking a second dose AGAIN. I guess my question is does it sound normal? Im 7 weeks post partum and my bp is still all over the place and im mad at my GP for just stopping labetalol at some point without weaning me off so it looks like the reason my bp then shot up. I've taken double dose for 3 days now and GP is saying go down to one dose mornings again (my pressures bedore the tablet is mid 130's/80's to mid 140
s/90's so not purfect still). Im scared it'll cause a spike again (even tho i've been taking 1 dose for 12 days prior to the spike). Should i change my gp or does it sound quite normal? My pressures do look better apart from the spike considering im on less pills but i dont want to keep going up a pill anddown a pill every voue of days. My normal pre pregnancy BP is 130/80 i think.
This ehole experience has been pretty s ary, i hope to hear some input from you girls:(

Mount Daniel Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Daniel Glacier
Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2015
|Camped at Pea Soup Lake with great views of the Lynch Glacier. It was too late in the season to access the glacier so we opted to climb the Daniel Glacier. No need to rope up as the glacier was in great shape and low angle. Most beautiful wilderness I've seen.
|Posted Jul 20, 2015 9:29 pm
|Finally got it!
Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2014
|I have tried to get this one 3 times. Each time failing in poor weather conditions and lack of desire to snag this peak without nice views. Finally I got the opportunity.
I would absolutely suggest camping the 14 miles round trip are pretty tough and although it could probably be done in a day. The 2 day trek is much nicer and Peggy's pond is a great place to camp.
|Posted Sep 15, 2014 6:30 pm
|Deviated from plan...
Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2014
|Planned to make it to the west peak by crossing the ridge to the east of the East peak and gaining the Daniel glacier, but we gained the ridge a bit too high for easy access. Dropped below the south side of East Peak and followed climber's trail up. Socked in by fog and didn't realize there was a non-glaciated route from there to West Peak. Still a fun day. Very buggy at Peggy's Pond.
|Posted Aug 18, 2014 3:51 am
|SE Ridge
Date Climbed: Jul 27, 2013
|Just stayed along the South Spine. It was pretty simple. I didn't hit the glacier cause I didn't have crampons. Did it in one day. If I did it again, I'd hike to Peggy's pond, camp and do the mountain the next day.
|Posted Aug 11, 2014 2:56 pm
|West, Middle and East
Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2003
|Sat. in August 2003. Up the SE ridge and down Hyas Glacier. Raced some guy to the car.
|Posted Jun 8, 2014 3:05 pm
Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2001
|Pretty area, took three days camping around and learning the basics of snow climbing and crevasse rescue on a mountaineering course.
|Posted Apr 9, 2014 12:22 am
|Hyas Glacier
Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2013
|Great climb! We were soaked with rain then it turned to snow! Very slow with fresh snow and poor visibility. We turned back due to the storm settling in. Just below the East Summit.
|Posted Sep 23, 2013 12:34 am
|SE Ridge Whiteout
Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2013
|We only had one day and the forecast left room to hope. We had great views all the way to Peggy's Pond. By the time we were on the SE ridge visibility was 50 yards or less. We found our way all the way to the main summit hoping the weather would break. It didn't. On the way down we had some route finding issues. This one ended up a long and thankless day hike.
|Posted Sep 8, 2013 11:58 pm
|A Little Too Warm
Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2013
|Barely made it to the trailhead, bucked a fallen tree on the road with a small handsaw and axe. Snow at the trailhead, then consistent partway up to Squaw Lake. Kept getting off the trail and back on, camped the night at Peggy's Pond.
Got going by 3:20am but was on-and-off whiteout and kept sprinkling on us, so turned back at the ridge below East Summit (~7200') because of miserable conditions for the ascent and fear of worsening snow conditions for safely descending (evidence of small avalanches recently) and miserable exit.
|Posted Jun 11, 2013 1:22 am
|Great First Glacier Climb
|Overnight at Peggy's Pond then middle summit via Hyas Glacier, over the ridge below the East Summit and over the top of Daniels Glacier. My first time roping up for glacier travel, two man team.
|Posted Jun 11, 2013 1:19 am
|Lynch carryover
|Very hot with deep snow. nice scenery.

|Missing Volcano
Date Climbed: Aug 26, 2012
|Been wanting to fill this one in for years on the map. Climbed with Jim and Luna. Bugs were not maddening but they were very annoying. Drove up Saturday morning, had lunch at the Roslyn Cafe, hiked in mid afternoon after a short detour to retrieve Jim's backpack that had fallen 150 feet down a cliff on the traverse to Peggy's Pond (bane of old school external frame packs). Slept well under the Milky Way which apparently there is some debate now if we really are part of? Started out early and made the SE Ridge quickly. Jim and Luna decided to stay behind on the ridge while I hopped up to East Peak (the thin scree traverse over reminded me I was on a volcano) and then over to the West Peak in a cold wind. Signed the summit register and headed back. Saw 3 other climbers doing East Peak that must have come up from one of the glacier routes. Got a little far right on the descent and had to climb heather slopes to get back on track. Luna didn't care much or the dusty hike out and she slept soundly in the back of the car on the drive back to Portland. Excellent time on my annual birthday climb. Thanks Jim for going old school again and secretly bringing in Hostess Ding Dongs to celebrate.

|Southeast ridge scramble
Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2012
|Did this in two days. A great trip but the bugs were pretty bad at Peggy's Pond.
|Posted Aug 21, 2012 3:41 pm
|East Peak from Peggys Pond
Date Climbed: May 15, 2009
|Made it to the East Peak from a camp at the only dry spot at Peggy's Pond. Snow the whole way with signs of huge slab avalanches on the north slope of the south side of the valley. Nice climb but I'd like to come back and tag the other two peaks of Daniel.

|Hot Day
Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2011
|Finally it reaches over 80 degrees in the North West this summer today, unfortunately it was when I was climbing this mountain. But non the less I had a great time with clear views.
|Posted Aug 21, 2011 12:31 am
|Long time ago
|With my brother.
|Posted Dec 28, 2010 9:17 am
|East Summit
Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2005
|A little too cloudy with poor visibility to traverse to the main peak, so we went for the official geo marked peak. Awesome place. I'll be back.
|Posted Dec 8, 2010 8:13 pm
|East Summit
Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2010
|Started late in the day and found that views at all summits were in a thick cloud cover. From the East summit i was actually unable to see either of the other two. So I hit the East Peak and called it a day. Another time for sure. The trail is in great shape and the ascent of the SE ridge is spectacular.
|Posted Sep 5, 2010 5:05 am
|Second Time Was A Charm!
Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2010
|Gimpilator, Bryan, and I attempted this peak at the end of September 2009. During that trip, I woke up sick and then we encountered a freak ice storm after some recent snow already packed on much of the route. Everyone turned around. This time, Gimpilator and I gave the peak a second attempt and were successful. The weather was great and the route conditions were perfect for the ascent/descent; snow-covered where we wanted and rocky where we wanted. We summited the West Summit, then the Middle Summit, and finally the East Summit. We were amazed how many people we met thought the East Summit was the true (highest) summit of Mount Daniel. The massive lake that formed from the melting of the Lynch Glacier north of the mountain is worth seeing! Great views from all of the summits, and this mountain is highly recommended. Mount Daniel brought my total number of Washington County Highpoints up to 33 (out of 39).
|Posted Aug 29, 2010 10:47 pm
Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2010
|Ascended the SE ridge from Peggy's, and found snow-fingers aplenty that made slow going traversing on the S flanks. Views were epic, more so than expected! Summited in around 6hrs, descended via the Hyas Creek Headwall, with long and fast glissades. Total trip time around 11hrs C2C. Awesome day in the hills.

The Galaxy S6 is the Android phone to beat and the best smartphone overall. The new glass-and-metal design looks elegant and feels sturdy. The Galaxy S6 sports a bright 5.1-inch QHD display that's more colorful and higher-res than the iPhone and a sharper 16-megapixel camera that lets in more light. The front 5-MP camera takes awesome selfies, too. You also get a very fast octa-core processor and built-in wireless charging, plus longer battery life than the iPhone 6.
If you can afford the $100 premium, the Galaxy S6 Edge boasts a curved display that provides quick access to your favorite contacts.
The iPhone 6 combines a striking, rounded design with a bright, 4.7-inch Retina display. But it's what you can do with this phone that makes it our top pick. The A8 processor delivers swift performance, especially when you're playing games, and the improved iSight camera offers faster autofocus and captures crisp 1080p video at 60 frames per second. With Apple Pay, you can buy items (in the real world or online) with just a touch of your finger. Add in easy access to the hottest apps, and the iPhone 6 is an excellent choice.
The iPhone 6 Plus is also great if you're looking for a bigger and sharper 5.5-inch display along with longer battery life, but the iPhone 6 is more one-hand friendly.
The king of phablets, the Galaxy Note 4 wows with its bright and sharp quad-HD display, which serves as a great canvas for the included S Pen. The 16-MP camera is the other big highlight, because it snaps gloriously detailed images even in low light, thanks to the built-in optical image stabilization. Want a taste of virtual reality? You can plug the Note 4 into the $199 Gear VR to enjoy a whole new world of 360-degree entertainment.
The OnePlus One is not easy to get. You can buy one during the company's open sale each week; otherwise, you need to be invited by a friend. But the hassle is worth it, because no other phone gives you this much for just $299. The One packs a 5.5-inch, full-HD screen; a Snapdragon 801 processor; and a battery that lasted an epic 13 hours on our test. The OnePlus One is also great for tinkerers, as its Cyanogen Mod software lets you customize the look and feel and security options.
No, the price isn't a typo. For less than $150, you can nab an Android smartphone with a 4.5-inch Gorilla Glass display, 4G LTE capability and a perfectly decent Snapdragon 410 processor. The Moto E also delivers an above-average battery life of 8.5 hours in a body that you can customize.

Maiton Island : Banks
There is no shortage of branch banking in Phuket. There seems to be a bank or an ATM every other block on the island. Some are open on Saturdays and all provide money exchange services.
Foreigners with retirement visas or business visas can open an account at a Thai bank though policies and requirements vary from bank to bank. Recommendations by ex-pats can be very helpful on which bank one should choose.

The Megyn Kelly surge checks out
This is somewhat embarrassing: Last week, MSNBC president Phil Griffin said it was "impossible" that ratings for Fox News's "The Kelly File" -- the new show hosted by Megyn Kelly -- could have doubled on the show's second night, and suggested Nielsen run an investigation.
"Monday we had a really good day in the key demographic, on the night that Fox News debuted their three shows, we either tied or beat them in those hours," Griffin said. "Tuesday – you guys should be doing some investigations – I have never seen it in all my years of cable, same overnight, same everything, and they doubled their ratings in a day? It is impossible."
Well, Nielsen conducted an investigation and, according to The New York Daily News, her numbers were that good: Kelly had a 100% ratings increase on her second night in primetime.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
I just completed writing an article on this very thing. I see now that it's the mainline churches that are a type of religious Egypt, and they have God's people in bondage and forced labor camps. And like Egypt, they have their own idols such as their belief on salvation for one. And also like Egypt, God is letting them worship their images to the point where the idol they worship is the very thing that becomes their plague and consumes them.The purpose of God's plan in letting turning them over to their own reprobate minds is because it's the pattern God established to show us that he uses the very thing we worship, to bring us to a place of brokenness so that we'll release those things that have brought bondage to ourselves. You are going to be seeing a lot more of this in the days to come. The churches can not sustain much longer with their idol worship. They have too many beliefs that no one is allowed to approach without first bowing to them. But it's not a bad thing. God is bringing a wave of his presence across the entire land. This is the Sabbath Day we've entered and the old is passing away and all things are becoming new.
Good posts from everyone. The seeds are being planted for the world to know the truth about it's creator. That he loves them.............. and there's no but.

Formula One Red Classic Adirondack Chair 4 4
Great chairs at a great price! These are great chairs for the price. Excellent value for the money. These don't compare to $400 chairs but I did not want to spend that much. They sit well and have held up pretty good. We are on our second set but still have the first two which lasted 3.5 years in St. Louis (outside all the time). October 24, 2013
GREAT VALUE I purchased 18 of these Adirondack chairs to use in our hotel. Easy to assemble, no wobbles when set up and very comfortable. A nice sturdy chair. Highly recommended. June 22, 2013
Good seat for your seat 1. It took me longer to unpack the parts than to assemble the chairs. Easy peasy. 2. The red is bright, but not garish. Looks great with the red/spiced orange accessories. 3. The thing I liked least? I ordered two chairs; one came with silver bolts and the other with gold bolts. Beware if you're OCD-ish. May 30, 2013
Surprisingly good value. Many out there for considerably more money, but none as easy to assemble nor as comfortable for this price. January 11, 2014

March 29, 2012 (KERSHAW, S.C.) - Defending World Karting Association Triple Crown champion Grant Quinlan notched a pair of top-five finishes last weekend at round two of the WKA Manufacturers Cup Series at Kershaw, S.C.'s Carolina Motorsports Park.
Quinlan, who was back behind the wheel of his MRP Motorsport No. 28 Birel for the first time since December at Daytona KartWeek, was a key factor throughout the weekend in the four Yamaha and Komet Junior divisions.
The 12-year-old Maidstone, Ontario racer wheeled his Birel to feature finishes of third in Yamaha Jr Lite, fifth in Komet Jr Heavy and sixth in Komet Jr Lite.
The two top-five results gave Quinlan three podium finishes on the 2012 WKA Man Cup season in his first year in the super-competitive 12- to 15-year-old junior ranks, which regularly boast fields in excess of 35 karts.
"We had an up-and-down Daytona so we wanted to go to Kershaw and do well," Quinlan said after his weekend in South Carolina. "A couple podiums is a great step in the right direction. I think we'll be able to get that first junior win here very soon. The competition at this level is really strong so I'm glad we were able to run up front. Thanks to everyone who helped, especially my dad, Tim, Chris and Garry Lobaugh from MRP and everyone on the MRP team."
Quinlan has started eight main events thus far in the 2012 Man Cup season. Quinlan has two DNFs, but of the six races in which he's been running at the end, he's finished worse than sixth only once - an 11th-place result in Yamaha Jr Heavy at Kershaw.
Next up for Quinlan is round three of the WKA Manufacturers Cup Series, May 4-6 at Pennsylvania's Pittsburgh Int'l Race Complex (formerly BeaveRun). Grant also will be competing in U.S. Legends Car racing in 2012. His legends car schedule is TBA.

The man who stabbed an Aiken Bloodhound Tracking Team police K-9 while fleeing from law enforcement received a maximum sentence this week.
Patrick Spires, 31, of Aiken was found guilty by an Aiken County jury on charges of cruelty to a police dog and resisting arrest, resulting from incidents in November 2011. Circuit Court Judge Thomas W. Cooper sentenced Spires to five years in prison on the stabbing charge and one year for resisting arrest, with sentences to run concurrently.
Assistant Solicitor Kevin Molony prosecuted the case, which saw members of the Tracking Team testify.
Deputy Felton Craig testified as an expert in the case, explaining to the jury how law enforcement followed bloodhound Duke as he tracked down Spires and a co-defendant, who were running after allegedly stealing an 18-wheeler in Georgia and driving it in South Carolina. Bloodhounds are tracked with GPS collars, which, in this case, allowed officers to find where Duke was when he was stabbed, as Spires had cut the collar off and inflicted the injury.
The tracking team reached the sight of the attack and tended to Duke, while another dog continued the search, leading officers directly to Spires and his cohort.
In court, Molony and the testifying officers mapped the GPS trail to show the exact route Duke and his canine colleague took in tracking Spires. Spires was found hiding in a barn attic off Beech Island Avenue in Beech Island. It was here that Spires fought with Deputies, causing one to fall from the barn attic and suffer injury.
Duke received two stab wounds during the incident he returned to duty within weeks of the attack.
The Aiken Bloodhound Tracking Team is a joint operation staffed by 15 deputies and officers from the Aiken County Sheriff's Office, Aiken Department of Public Safety and North Augusta Department of Public Safety, according to ACSO. Each Team consists of three members, a deputy and officer from each of the participating agencies. The group maintains six bloodhounds, which are used to search for wanted and missing individuals, as well as make appearances at community events.
Duke is not the first police K-9 to be injured in the line of duty. In 1991, Darryl Snow had 10 years added to his sentence for beating police K-9 Tex. Tex was rushed to hospital, recovered and went on to have a distinguished career, catching 822 perpetrators – not to mention that he is the father of many current K-9s.

What are some Stephen King novles that you never ever had the time or money to buy the book and read or some books that you only read once and cant remember what happened?
Yesterday I got Needful Things and Rose Madder from barnes and noble and Needful Things I only read once back in the mid 1990s and then the movie came out.
Rose Madder is one of the few Stephen King novels that I never had the time or money to buy and read. Also Rose Madder was always the hardest one to catch back then when it first came out in bookstores. Just not enough copies of that book or something LOL

You fix problems. You can do the impossible.
Co-workers come to you with a wide range of questions and problems they want you to solve; which can usually be done with some simple custom program or script. Most things are fairly simple, and they are amazed at how you can take ten minutes of your time to write a little script that saves them hundreds of hours of work in a given year.
People come to you with a problem and, having seen your past work, expect that you'll be able to take care of even the impossible in short order. But every now and again, the problem they want you to solve is one of those ones that give programmers a headache - they're NP-Complete or otherwise computationally unsolvable.
It could be an automated scheduling program, warehouse packing sorter, a system that predicts the company's stock price three years in advance, what have you.
If you tell them it's impossible, it sounds like you're just trying to get out of doing the work, or they think that impossible means impossible (as in "kind of hard, but I could do it in a few hours"). Likewise, you can't just point them to the CS theory section of your bookcase and tell them to read up on it.
How do you explain to a non-technical co-worker (or supervisor) that some task they want you to complete is literally impossible not merely the same-old impossible that you successfully deal with every day?
[Note: Offering a compromise (i.e. offering a near-optimal, not perfectly optimal, solution) or giving them what they really need, not what they think they want, is generally what I end up doing; but my question is about explaining why what they are precisely asking for isn't feasible without resorting to using highly technical terms, hand-waving, or "losing" that help ticket.]

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - John Jaso laced a go-ahead RBI double in the top of the 12th inning to lift the Mariners to a 10-8 victory over the White Sox in the second leg of a three-game set Saturday.
Jesus Montero ripped a leadoff double off of Addison Reed (0-1) to start the frame and Jaso followed two batters later with a double to the gap in right- center, scoring pinch-runner Munenori Kawasaki from second.
"There was a runner on second base so I wasn't trying to hit a home run or anything like that. I was just trying to score him," Jaso said about his at- bat.
Chone Figgins then scorched a single through the hole on the left side to plate Jaso and give the Mariners a two-run cushion.
Tom Wilhelmsen (2-1) tossed three scoreless frames in relief to record the victory while Hisashi Iwakuma blanked the Sox in the 12th to record his second save.
The Mariners, who snapped a seven-game skid against the Sox, led off the first three innings with home runs: Ichiro Suzuki in the first and third and Justin Smoak in the second. Michael Saunders also went deep in the win.
A.J. Pierzynski, Alex Rios, Gordon Beckham and Dayan Viciedo all clubbed homers in the setback as the White Sox had their nine-game win streak halted. Rios' blast was also a leadoff homer in the fourth.
Trailing 7-5 in the eighth, Jaso worked a leadoff walk and moved to third on a single from Saunders before Brendan Ryan ripped a double down the left field line that barely stayed fair as both runners scored to knot the game at 7-7.
Ryan then swiped third and scampered home as Pierzynski's throw rolled into left field to give Seattle an 8-7 lead.
Chicago answered with the long ball in the bottom half as Viciedo launched a two-out blast over the wall in right to tie the game at 8-8.
"We battled and had a chance to win it. We just couldn't get it done. That's going to happen. You're not going to win every game," said Beckham.
Seattle took the lead early when Suzuki launched the third pitch of the game into the bullpen in right and Smoak followed suit in the second with a leadoff blast of his own to give the Mariners a 2-0 lead.
Pierzynski erased the two-run deficit in the bottom half with his ninth homer of the season, but Seattle made it three straight innings with a leadoff home run as Suzuki belted his second homer of the game to grab a 3-2 lead.
Chicago answered in the bottom half after Orlando Hudson stroked a leadoff double and scored two batters later on a single into center off the bat of Beckham.
The Mariners continued their home run barrage in the fourth when Mike Carp ripped a one-out single before Saunders crushed a fastball deep over the wall in right-center field, providing the visitors with a 5-3 edge.
Rios made it a one-run game with a leadoff blast in the fourth before the White Sox jumped in front in the fifth.
Alejandro De Aza reached on a one-out single and Beckham followed with a shot over the left field wall, propelling the Sox to a 6-5 lead.
Chicago tacked on a two-out run in the seventh after De Aza singled to right and quickly swiped second. Beckham then slapped a single up the middle that was snared by Ryan at shortstop, but his throw pulled Smoak off the bag at first and De Aza never stopped running from second, sliding home to give Chicago a 7-5 lead.
Seattle improved to 3-15 at U.S. Cellular Field since 2008...It was the sixth multi-homer game of Suzuki's career...Chicago is still 20-4 against Seattle since the start of the 2010 season...Stephen Pryor made his MLB debut in the seventh before giving up Viciedo's game-tying homer in the eighth.

MATEWAN — The Thacker Water Project, a long sought-after endeavour by the Town of Matewan, is finally becoming reality.
Pat Rawlings, Senior Designer with Triad Engineering Inc., spoke to the Matewan Town Council during its Tuesday night meeting, saying that bids were opened for the project last week.
The low bid for the waterline portion of the project was $1,808,266 and the low bid for the storage was $232,650. While the council doesn't have to accept the lowest bids, Rawlings said that those bids were both under the previously estimated amounts and kept the project well within budget. He also said that both companies who entered the bids, which were not immediately available, were reputable and that he had worth with each of them before.
He asked the council to pass a motion of conditional acceptance of the bids once approvals were gained from the appropriate funding agencies. The motion was unanimously carried.
Mayor Sheila Kessler asked Rawlings when the groundbreaking could be held for the project.
"I estimate that we'll be breaking ground on April 1," he said.
Construction is estimated to take approximately nine months.

A working honeybee, Apis mellifera, visiting a flower and collecting pollen.
Bees are insects. The species in the Museum's beehive is called Apis mellifera. The honeybee lives in groups called colonies. They first evolved about 35 million years ago in tropical Africa and because honey is so popular, bees now live all over the world.
No. There are different bees for different jobs. Every colony has one queen, which is the largest bee. The workers are female bees and are the smallest in size but the largest in number. There are also male drones and the brood is made up of eggs, larvae, and pupae.
The hive is the colony's home or nest. The outside is often a man-made box like this one, and the inside is made from wax, which the bees produce themselves. The queen and most of the bees live in the bottom of the hive in the brood chamber. The top contains the honey.
Beehives in a field.
A honeybee will rarely sting away from the hive, except when stepped on or roughly handled. If a bee is buzzing around you, she may smell perfume, soap, or hair spray and think the smell is nectar or food. She will check you out to see if she can find the nectar, but if you stand very still, she will realize there is no nectar and go away.
Like other insects, honeybees communicate using many different chemicals and odours. Honeybees can direct other bees to food by dancing. The movements tell them the location and direction of the food.
As the number of bees in the hive increases, some of the bees leave to set up a new colony in a new location. They form a big group known as a swarm. The queen leaves the colony and about half of the worker bees and drones follow her in search of a new home. She is usually replaced with a new queen after a couple of weeks. Another new queen is left behind with the other half to continue the old colony.
A close up of a honeycomb.
Each type of bee has a different job in the colony. Worker bees do different things depending on how old they are. If a worker (sterile female) is born in the spring, she probably only lives 4 or 5 weeks. If she's born in the autumn when there's less work to do, she may survive the winter.
The queen lays each egg in one cell of the honeycomb. Each egg hatches and a little worm-like larva crawls out. The worker bees feed pollen and honey to the baby larva. Soon, it spins a web blanket inside the cell and becomes a pupa. After 16 to 24 days, a fully grown bee climbs out of the cell. They live between 3 to 6 months depending on the time of year and food available.

Voters casting ballots in North Augusta have reported a mix-up that could impact the future of the Citys alcohol sales.
A North Augusta attorney and City Council member, Arthur Shealy, said he was given the wrong ballot when he went to the polls around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Those voting within the City should see the Sunday alcohol sales referendum, that, if passed, would allow restaurants to sell wine, liquor and beer on Sundays. Grocery and convenience stores would be able to sell beer and wine.
Currently, both are banned.
Cynthia Holland, executive director for Aiken County Registration and Elections, said she has received complaints from voters who did not have the correct ballot.
She said those complaints have been documented.
Any decision to protest the outcome would have to be lodged by the City of North Augusta, she said.
The two precincts reporting issues are 25, which votes at the North Augusta Community Center, and 67, which votes at Riverview Park.
About 2,500 registered voters live in those two districts.
North Augusta City Administrator Todd Glover said officials are monitoring the situation.
One person called our office and we reported it to the election office, he said. We will look and see if we have any other complaints.
If the problem is widespread, Council would have to decide if it wants to file a protest, he explained.

She was broken by time and the winds beat her into the dirt below. She sank into it without control. A gentle grace hungered in the vibrations that pulsed out from her previous life. Some people saw this and they came to bask, to climb, to commune, to sit, to laugh, to cry, to hold hands, to find a hand to hold, to stroll, to watch the moon, to add to the vibrations, to clambor, to hold, to rest, to meditate, to feel something new as she sank ever deeper into the earth, leaving rhythms of new life behind.
