1. If you use a groundsheet, there still IS a floor. It's just not attached to the sides.2. The floor is packed separately so when it's muddy it doesn't get the rest of the tent dirty.3. No setting up the tent at home and trying to sweep out the sand/dirt/crud that got inside and is now trapped in the corners.Okay, so these are actually MY reasons, which I thought of the last time I had to pack up after a storm and realized how easy it was going to be to clean up my gear after the trip. But for those of you with friends and SOs who think a floorless tent is ucky, these might help persuade them.
There are a ton of reasons that floorless is good. - If it is muddy go in with your boots on - The ability to use a wood stove like in the seek outside tipis and Lil' bug out shelter - Lighter weight - Less chance of blowing away in the wind - Often times more pitching flexibility Plus, if you really want fully enclosed , just add a nest, or if you want protection of your sleeping area, use a bivy. I can take a 150 sq ft shelter that will hold up in 60 - 80 MPH winds, and I can stand up in, for 5 lbs. I can take smaller shelters for a pound or two.
I agree, but the one benefit of a floored tent is it's sealed off from water. Hopefully your campsite doesn't get completely flooded, but a floored tent would be better for that.I like extra large groundsheets so I can set out all of my gear without getting it dirty.
+1If it's raining I can get tent out of pack without getting much water on other stuff, set up tent, get inside with pack, works much better. And reverse order when packing up.The worst is a floored tent with fly. Set up tent, rain falls on it getting everything wet before fly is up.Pyramid is good because there's enough head room to sit, kneel, move around a little. Leave door open and you can watch the rain falling on the wilderness.Only problem is if it's windy stuff can blow in under the edges. Sometimes I'll set up branches around the outside perimeter to intercept dust and leaves blowing in.
If site is flooded with floored tent, water tends to get inside floor and then puddle up there. I occasionally screw up and set up in what becomes a puddle, but then maybe next time I'll be smarter.
Trying convincing Mrs Mags to not use a tent with a "real" floor. :)She'll backpack with me only if we have, what she calls, a real tent.So we happily (? :) ) backpack together with a Lunar Duo that has a floor. I get her out backpacking, my German born wife sees things as clean, neat and organized.Win!
4. The floor can also be your poncho. Double duty. Less weight.
When I made my own tent last summer, the biggest thing that I wanted and needed was a floor that would not allow rain OR bugs in. Bugs suck! I'll go hardcore UL anything. anywhere, but I need my privacy from the critters and bugs while sleeping...Enjoy those floorless non attached thingys!
Paul, I once had a German SO and she was much was the same. I get your compromise. :)
I like to sleep with my tailbone in a slight divot. With a floorless tent it is easier to dig out a hole for my tailbone or hip while in the tent.I can also shift my ground cloth to avoid blowing snow and rain and surface runoff.
I like the idea of a floorless tent, but in the buggy areas I camp in I don't see it as practical. Plus in every photo I've seen of them set up, there is a significant gap at the bottom and I camp in tree less alpine areas that often have pretty good winds and it just looks like the wind would come right in, which isn't a problem with my Fly Creek because the inner walls come up pretty high.So far as cleaning a regular fully enclosed tent, I just un-stake it, crawl in, leave my feet outside and stand up, raising the tent over my head. And shake. All the the debris falls right out the door. Then I set it down, and dismantle it and put it away. No setting up at home or sweeping required.
So long as your separate groundsheet is a bathtub, and will stay that way in a flood, I can dig it.
"So far as cleaning a regular fully enclosed tent, I just un-stake it, crawl in, leave my feet outside and stand up, raising the tent over my head. And shake."video?
Here are some points made---** Kevin Timm says there's "less chance of blowing away in the wind" with a floorless shelter. Can't quite figure this one out as all shelters must be pegged. People who have a self-supporting tent with a floor and leave it unpegged just haven't learned enough yet. ** Justin Baker says " . . . one benefit of a floored tent is it's sealed off from water". This is a very important point---vital in fact. See below comments.** Jerry Adams says "Set up tent, rain falls on it getting everything wet before fly is up." This is one advantage of the Hillebergs as they can be set up fly first with a hanging interior.** But Jerry is right about one thing---"Only problem (with a pyramid tent) is if it's windy stuff can blow in under the edges." This happens with tarps too. This is especially true in open bald blizzards with 60mph winds and spindrift going everywhere and into everything---it stays out of a floored tent.** Jerry Adams says, "If a site is flooded with a floored tent, water tends to get inside floor and then puddle . . . ." This all depends on floor denier weight and hydrostatic head along with the age of the tent. A good tent with a 70 to 100 denier floor(properly coated)---and a high hydrostatic number (7000mm or 10,000mm) will keep out this ground water and pooling.Here's a test to do at home---Floorless folks don't have to do it unless they want to run this test with their ground cloths---** Get a water hose and saturate a spot in your yard with water, making a small one-inch deep pool. Now, place the tent floor on top of this pool and sit on it for several minutes. If any water is coming thru then the floor is "inadequate". It could even be a new tent with a low denier floor (30 denier is common for UL tents).This duplicates the real-world conditions of a deluge and finding your campsite swamped, which will happen on occasion if the rain is heavy enough no matter how careful your site selection.Plus, this test can also be run on slushy snow and ice. Check the ground cloth too. Just some thoughts.
@Jerry Adams-No video, but it should not be hard to envision. I learned the "hold it up in the air and shake trick" from an ex-boyfriend. I've used it on every tent I've owned since, it doesn't seem to matter what design they are. If the tent is really small, you can pick it up and hold and shake it it from outside, but if it's a 2 man or bigger it's easier for me to just stand up inside it with the tent all around you and the door down around your feet (feet outside the tent, on the ground) and then shake. Unless it has wet leaves in it or something, any debris just falls right out. Then set the tent back down and pull the poles and put it away. It's also a great way to shake of excess moisture from rain, although in that case I always do pull it back out at home and hang it to fully dry it before I store it.
@ Tipi Walter...Kevin Timm is the owner of Seek Outside, and was probably referring specifically to a tipi's ability to shed wind.The biggest hangups on floorless shelters are bugs, mud or water in general, and condensation.Bugs can be dealt with through chemicals or nests, bivies, or other netting. Mud can be overcome with a good groundcloth and good site selection. Condensation is easy to deal with if you have a wood stove capable shelter, otherwise it is endured.Overall I think floorless shelters offer a great space to weight ratio and are more livable in my experience because of not worrying about tracking stuff inside. If I'm not in a hammock, I'll be in a floorless shelter.
I want to see videojust for entertainment : )
Floorless 'mid are the obvious choice of the evolved. SOs, friends and family who have mental blocks about them need some tough love. One trip in rainy conditions enjoying the freedom if just ducking in and they'll come around. Like anything, they have limitations.Truly nasty skeeters, as well as the height of tick season, deserve an inner net. In mild buggy conditions what few get in just migrate to the top and hang out in confusion. Get a partially solid fabric inner and you just made a double wall tent with a huge, modular vestibule.It's conceiveable you might find yourself in wet enough camping conditions that you'll need a bomber bathtub floor. I never have. If you need one, bring one, but my sense is 98% of backpackers won't. With practice a good 'mid can be almost welded to the ground. If cold wind is a huge concern add sod clothes. Spindrift is a red herring, as snow on the ground makes it easy to seal the edges.
They often handle wind better, because a floor is often the catch that wind gets. I had a floored tent blow away with 100 lbs of gear inside it once. Yes a floorless tent needs to be staked well, but once staked well they do very well. I've has trees coming down within 5 ft of a 12 man tipi. That is a tent that is 9'8 tall and covers 280 sq feet of space and winds were reported in the mid 70's that day. Yes some stakes bent in the ground, but nothing failed. As stated floored tents can get water in them in the form of a puddle if pitched in the wrong spot.The gap at the bottom of a floorless tent is if you do not have a sod skirt. In our tipi's there is a sod skirt that hangs down 6" and effectively removes any gap from staking or ground irregularity. Here is me and my boys last weekend in Ice Lake Basin
but I'm not swayed... living in the SE I am more compelled by these helpful site mates...

Three ballots were disqualified because they were from people who were not registered. The only election that could have been affected locally by the votes was the school board election in district 2 between incumbent Samuel Chiara and challenger Debbi Blackburn. After Tuesday nights election, Blackburn led Chiara 535 to 524. After the certification count, with the additional ballots tallied, Blackburn won 542-529.

Archive for the '380 SL' tag
Wayne's intolerable Mercedes
Dan's Bugazzi post last week inspired a lot of, well, there's no other way to say it: hate. I was reminded of another little gem I saw about four years back at the Kruse auction in Phoenix, Wayne Newton's 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL.
It was described as a "Niko-Michael Custom." From what I could discover, this was a shop in or about Port Washington, on the north shore of western Long Island, which was associated with a few Rolls-Royce and Bentley restorations. I called around to old-timers in the area but came up with bupkis, aside from Jim Shelley at Georgica Services way out in Bridgehampton, who recalled that around 1990 he thinks he worked on one of their old projects for a customer.
When I saw it about four years ago, it was a no-sale at $220,000 – that's right, almost a quarter-million dollars, yet no one seemed to have heard of it before, nor since. Kruse had a little press release about it, but with almost no extra information. Additionally, a German M-B board came up with a few more photos, but again, no more information.
In my auction write-up in HSX 10, I said,
Gaah! Our eyes! Up until this point, we had a soft spot for Wayne Newton, but after seeing his Niko-Michael custom, we wash our hands of him. The enormous, horrible black on black V-8 coupe was full of perfect leather and wood, and the bronze-colored trim along the fenders appeared to be…thick slabs of solid bronze. We presume the hardtop is removable, but we didn't try. The whole bloated slab of car must weigh 5,000 pounds, and the 1,700 miles suggests that even Wayne doesn't have the cojones to drive it, since he's owned it since new. $220,000 is getting close to 300 SL territory, but bad taste knows no bounds.
So, anyone ever see this car before? Where did it come from, and where did it go?

By RICHARD SHAWSports writer
It's been two years since Carbon lost a league baseball game, but on Friday afternoon that all changed when the Lehi Pioneers, new to Region 8 this year, took the wind out of the Dinos ship of state sails by beating them in Utah County 6-1.
For many Carbon fans the reaction was disbelief, after a virtually perfect season last year, and the dominant lead they seemed to have taken over the region this year. Many Carbon fans who couldn't travel over the mountain listened to it on the radio, including a group of volunteers who were working on the Babe Ruth Field in the Price north ball complex. As the sod was laid on the field and the game slipped away, the faces of those laboring on the field got longer and longer.
It was the same all over for Carbon fans.
After the victory, Lehi players told everyone their team should be ranked number one in the state since they had defeated the top ranked team. But it is doubtful that they will get that nod since they were only ranked fourth last week. More probably, Carbon will lose the top spot to Park City, undefeated since the beginning of league play and also winners over Carbon in the preseason on the Dinofield in a 1-0 pitchers battle.
It's hard to say how far Carbon will fall in the rankings, but there is a good chance they will only move down to second, a place they became used to last year until topped ranked Snow Canyon was knocked off toward the end of the season, and they were finally put in the top slot, where they have been ever since.
Snow Canyon ultimately lost to the Dinos in the state championship game.
But Lehi shouldn't fool themselves: beating Carbon on Pioneer turf only means a tie for first in Region 8 and they have to go on the road, while Carbon plays Emery and North Sanpete at home, while going to Delta for their last three games.
The problem was that Carbon just couldn't get their bats going and string together the runs they had. With five hits in the game, all singles, the only score they were able to come up with was a run by Jan Jorgensen who had been sent to base when he was hit by the ball. Jamal Lewis' hit in the direction of third base brought Jorgensen in after he had been able to steal both second and third. That single run came in the fifth inning.
Meanwhile, Lehi's bats were on target. They led off with one run in the first and never had to look back, scoring two more in the fourth and fifth inning and one in the top of the seventh.
The reality is that Carbon may well have to share the title with Lehi this year. Both teams face other squads they have pretty much dominated throughout the rest of the season. If a tie occurs it is unclear how the teams will be seeded. A playoff may occur for who will go in as the top team, but in either case Carbon would face the number three or four place team from Region 9 which right now are Hurricane and Cedar City, both of whom are locked in a battle for those spots.
In terms of state rankings, Park City with it's undefeated league record seems to be everyone's idea of a team to beat, but Bear River is also another team to reckon with. The Bears are 6-0 in a good Region 11.
And don't forget Region 9. Snow Canyon is once again on top, but most state prognosticators say that Cedar City with it's overall 8-6 record (only 3-3 in league play) is still the best team in the southwest corner of the state. Certainly Snow Canyon, Hurricane and Pine View who all lead them in region play.
Carbon now needs to regroup and face North Sanpete, seemingly the doormat of the league this season, but the Hawks can never be taken lightly. Even though they were blown out by Delta 24-0 recently, they can still be a threat to anyone in the league.
That game will be on the Dinofield today (Tuesday) at 3:30 p.m.

|The views are awesome. I didn't see anyone once I broke off of the trail to head up to the Thompson cirque. Blue skies and big smiles all day long. Well until I had to hike all the way back to the truck.

|Nice hike although there was a storm on the way down. A little hazy from the forest fires. Surprised to see persistant snowfields this late in the year. The final 5 feet to the true summit is a bit airy.

|Great Scramble! My buddy and I made our way up the west slope into the couloir, and made a few moves to reach the top. Weather was superb and the views of course were awesome. Thompson is a great peak.

Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2001
|We hiked up Fishhook Creek to Williams Peak from Redfish in the morning, then scooted up Thompson after lunch, and walked back on the Alpine Way trail.
I also climbed Thompson in the early 70s, so it was fun to go back.

|Good scramble
Date Climbed: Aug 8, 1997
|The first time was via the standard route up the west side after the scramble up from Redfish Lake. Following the climbers trail that runs between Williams and Thompson, the hike is pretty straight-forward. The second time was part of a Williams-Thompson-Mickeys-Carter-Limbert speed circuit day with descent down the trailess valley south of Thompson.

Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2004
|Acessed the area via Goat Lake and spent the night just south of Lake 8865. In the morning my friend and I began the ascent looking for a fun and challenging route up. I decided to spiral my way up the west face to the upper portion of the S couloir while my buddy took a more vertical route and wound up on top of the false summit. Fortuneatly he was able to make his way down and over to the real peak. As he was approaching the summit, I pulled out my digital camera to take some pictures and...... the batteries were dead. :( Besides that dissapointment, a very fun climb!

|Took the Southwest Couloir route. The whole hike was tremendous. Made the climb with 3 fellow camp counselors from LHBC. Almost turned back when we found a dead mountain goat near the upper lake. We figured if the mountain goat couldn't survive on its own terrain, who were we to think we could make it to the top.

|Very nice mountain, it has it all. Nice trail through forest, meadows, alpine basins. Beautiful lake and xc up to short but steep snowy headwall. Craggy summit block with awesome views of jagged Sawtooth range. View S is blocked a little by neighbor Mickeys Spire. Boot axe belayed my unconfident partner with a small rope coming down the headwall.

|I mistakenly took the southwest route thinking it was the wide gully I needed to be in. Almost backed out when I saw the 5.2 with the exposure on both sides. I found the South Couloir after I reached the summit. Duh.... Beautiful area. Did Borah Peak on the 12th so this was a great topping.

|Very beautiful area. Lakes, snowfields, and pointed peaks galore. Lots of fish to be caught in the lake at the eastern base of the peak. Expect a class 2 hike to the top with maybe a class 3 move or two at the top. There are several other peaks to be bagged nearby like Mickey's Spire and Mount Carter.

|This was my first major summit ever accomplished, and now looking back, it probably wasnt the best choice for my first. However, besides the long approach, Thompson Peak offers beautiful views, glacial lakes, and a complete wilderness experience. A truly enjoyable mountain..
PS.. an ice ax and ropes are a must if attempting to summit early in the summer, I sure needed em.

|Route Climbed: Southwest Couloir Date Climbed: August 28, 2004
|Drove up with fastandlight friday from Boise and Camped at little Redfish lake. Went below freezing overnight and woke to intense fog in the Redfish lake basin. Ate and drove up to the backpackers parking lot. Left the parking lot around 7:30. As we climbed out of the lake basin and rose above the fog we were treated with great views of Mt Heyburns North side. When we reached the lake at 9000 ft, we caught up with another party who had camped near the lake. Another party of 4 was coming behind us as well. Above the saddle, there was fresh snow lying still from the cool weather and rain the state had been getting the previous week. It was nicely consolidated and good for walking at this time of day. We scrambled up the west slope into the Southwest Couloir - picked a line and started heading up. Views from the summit were spectacular, and the weather cool and crisp. We summited around 12:30, spent some time there soaking up the views, and were back to the parking lot around 4. The entire hike was very ascetic - highly recommended.

Comments about Osprey Kestrel 32 Backpack:
I was originally looking for the 38L but nobody stocked it. After looking at several options I decided the Kestrel 32 would be my daypack. After several cold weather day hikes, I'm very pleased. The Kestrel is comfortable, easily adjusts to put weight on your hips and is made of quality materials.
The side mesh pockets will hold a 1L Nalgene but I found that a 1L Dasani bottle works great. You can push it up from the bottom to get it out while wearing the pack. To put it back, use a finger to open the pocket and the bottle slides right back in. I just had elbow surgery and was able to do this so it's not difficult!
The only negative I have found is that it is hard to access the hip belt pockets while wearing the pack. Just remember it's a day pack. Small items like chap stick or a granola bar are doable but forget getting an IPhone w/Otter box in and out while wearing the pack.
As for the size, I have been carrying 3L of water (Bottles), extra Merino pull over, wind proof pullover, extra beanie, merino gloves, first aide/ emergency kit, Jet Boil Java stove and lunch. The front pocket and hip pockets were still empty. The small pocket on top is a mesh bag hanging inside the pack. Its great for a sandwich, snacks, keys, headlamp and other misc. items.
This is a great pack overall. I especially like the higher weight rating than most day packs. It can handle my cave gear or be stuffed for a minimalist overnighter.

PAWTUCKET — The principal and staff at the Elizabeth Baldwin Elementary School, where 10-year-old murder victim Aleida DePina had just finished the fourth grade, had not been aware of any abuse going on at home, says Schools Supt. Deborah Cylke.
Cylke noted that the investigation into the tragic beating death of Aleida, allegedly at the hands of her own father, is ongoing and said she could not comment about any specifics regarding the case. She said her involvement had mostly been to provide detectives with the names of school personnel who had come into contact with the young student so they could be interviewed.
However, the school superintendent told the Times that to the best of her knowledge, there had been no report made by anyone involved with the school about suspected abuse involving Aleida. "If abuse is reported to us, by law, we have to report it to DCYF," said Cylke, referring to the state Department of Children, Youth and Families.
Pawtucket Police also said there had been no prior complaint about abuse or neglect involving 32-year-old Jorge DePina, who has been charged with second-degree murder, along with child abuse and cruelty/neglect.
DePina was arrested after bringing his daughter's lifeless body to Miriam Hospital on July 3. An autopsy showed the girl died of blunt force trauma to the abdomen, and police and prosecutors say her body was covered in both new and old bruises, abrasions, and marks from possible cigarette burns.
Aleida DePina had reportedly been living alone with her father for the past two years, while her mother has reportedly been in her native Cape Verde. Father and daughter shared a first-floor apartment at 48 Knowles St., just a few blocks away from the Baldwin School on Whitman Street.
Cylke said that according to information she had received from Baldwin school staff, Aleida had a good attendance record, and was described as "quiet and shy, but not withdrawn." She added that the staff, upon learning of the tragedy just days after the school year ended on June 26, was "overwhelmed with grief because nobody saw this."
Cylke added that the school's principal, Joan Diorio, had had some conversations with Jorge DePina during the course of Aleida's time at the school. However, she reiterated that there was no record of any teacher or other staff member noting any kind of abuse or neglect situation where the girl is concerned.
Cylke said that Diorio and the Baldwin School staff had met on Monday, and all wanted to express publicly that they were "deeply saddened" by Aleida's untimely death. She said Diorio had spoken to one of the young girl's relatives and asked how the school staff could be of assistance. The staff intends to make a financial contribution to Aleida's family to help pay for her funeral services, once the arrangements are known, Cylke said.

Using context filters
You can use the SendCommandContextFilter interface to define a context filter for the context object that is associated with a SendCommand object. Filters are useful if the application that you're using to send content has restrictions on the size or type of content that it receives. For example, if an application can accept text of a certain length only, you can define a filter that shortens strings in the context object if they exceed a specific character limit so that the application can accept and send the content.
You can create a class that acts as a filter by implementing the SendCommandContextFilter interface and implementing filterContext(). This method changes the context object of a specified SendCommand object according to filtering criteria that you specify, and returns the altered context object. The run() method of the SendCommand object uses the altered context object to send the content from your application. You can register a context filter for a SendCommand object by invoking setSendCommandContextFilter().

It's all about the food….
For the Robertsons, family is typified by the dinner table, where both food and fables are dished up with equal care. Anyone with a good story - whether it be a hunting escapade or one of the children's antics - is welcome to share. And that's what this family is all about - sharing, caring for one another, and the love of good food. Chapters are built around recipes that represent each stage of the Robertson life - chapters like...
An Up-Close View of America's Favorite Backwoods Family
What do faith, family, ducks, and money have in common? The well-known stars of A&E's hit show Duck Dynasty - Korie and Willie Robertson! From Louisiana's bayou comes the story of how the Robertson family went from eating fried bologna sandwiches to consuming fine filet mignon.
Ask anyone in Louisiana, and they'll tell you that the bayou state's favorite family doesn't live in the governor's mansion but in the backwoods, where the Robertsons' Duck Commander has become a sporting empire by making top-of-the-line duck calls.
Part redneck logic, part humorous family stories, combined with family-business tips and faith, this book is the inside sneak peek for everything you wanted to know about being a Robertson.
In the pages of this book, you'll find out things about this lovable family that you won't see on the popular TV show - such as how the family survived while Miss Kay worked days and left the boys in the care of eight-year-old older brother Alan. You'll get to know the beautiful Korie Robertson - how she met Willie, what their dating days were like, and how she juggles being a mom to their children, a wife to Willie, and an active partner in the family business.
You'll get a taste of the Robertson clan's famous food, through recipes included in each chapter, and you'll see childhood photos of Willie and Korie, photos of Willie before the beard, and photos of their children and all of the Robertson clan.
©2012 Willie Robertson and Korie Robertson (P)2012 Simon & Schuster
Can't hear you....I'm reading!!
Awesome book!! I am in love with the Robertson Family. This book shares their experiences, recipe and most importantly love for each other.
It makes me Hap-pay, Hap-pay, Hap-pay!
@natesrandomisms Believer (27yrs), Husband (15yrs), Dad (3yrs), Son (35yrs), Broken neck survivor.
"Building Blocks of a Family!"
Yes, this is a book full of life principals.
The recipes!
They have some of the greatest voices that make you feel like they are speaking directly to you.
Yes, and we almost did. (We were on a road trip.)
"Love this book!!"
Really enjoy listening, so glad it is narrated by Willie and Korie!
I love chapter 12!
Love them all!
Laughed Alot!
"Wonderful Story... Entertaining and Inspiring!"
I recently discovered the Robertsons on A&E. I love their story. I enjoy their family bond and their faith in God ... and they are FUNNY!
The book provides insight into their testimony and it's read by Willie and his wife. Willie won't be able to make a living as a narrator - LOL, but I like him reading his own story.
If you like the show, you will enjoy the book.
If you've never watched the show, get the book and you will want to watch the show.
It's all about love of God and love of family....
"loved it"
just as good as watching the show, loved how they told the good and bad
"The Best!"
So much fun to read. I was raised in the city of Denver Colorado so I couldn't believe what life was like being a Robertson. It was inspiring, funny and most of all entertaining. I loved the fact that the family all loves as the Lord has commanded us to do. God bless and continue to be with the Robertson family.
"Excellent story"
Yes, because Willie and Korie are the narrators and they add flavor to their story.
Real stories about real people who have worked hard and tried to live with honor and integrity.
The recipes are fun!
Willie describing his childhood.
I recommend this book to anyone. It was a pleasure to listen to.
"A lot of repetition to Happy Happy Happy"
I would recommend you buy and read Happy Happy Happy by Willie's father Phil Robertson and skip this one by Willie. Phil's book is more interesting and entertaining.
"Liked the business parts"
I mainly listened to this book because I was interested in how this family built their company, from a business aspect. The book really consists of the business stuff, the family stuff, hunting stuff, and recipes. The family stuff was good, but I have read lots of "advice about kids and marriage" family books so this was stuff I'd already heard and I fast forwarded through a lot of it. The hunting/fishing stuff I'm not really interested in so I fast forwarded through that. The recipes - well I don't cook and even if I did, not sure if I'd want to hear recipes read, so I fast forwarded through that. But the business stuff, which is the main reason I listened, was interesting! I'm not saying the book was bad, just for me it wasn't all information I was interested in. Seemed a little repetitive with the concepts at times too. Like "We all have different gifts and we all appreciate each others' differences." Seemed like that was said a lot.
"Easy to listen to"
Love duck dynasty love the recipes
Not sure if there life was as hard as they would like you to believe

I found my bookmarks in the .mozilla directory under my home directory.
I started using Mozilla mail, thoght I would try it out. Well, this morning, a couple of times mozilla and the mail froze. Then, I could no longer open mozilla, it told me it was already running under my profile. I rebooted and it still told me that! So, I deleted the profile and chose to save the files. Now, I am trying to get the settings back. Most I can do manually, but I want to get my bookmarks back...how do I get the old profile back in?
I found my bookmarks in the .mozilla directory under my home directory.
maybe there was a mozilla lock file somehwere that it uses to tell itself that its running....
here we go:
[alastair@Eccles zop0ndh6.slt]$ pwd
[alastair@Eccles zop0ndh6.slt]$ ls -li lock*
564503 lrwxrwxrwx 1 alastair alastair 13 Dec 18 12:03 lock -> 127.0.0.1:879
just remove that symlink (rm -f lock) and it should work again
Thanks, removing that lock file did the trick...for a while. It did come back and I had to delete it again. Is there a way to permanently prevent that?
I tried it out in Windows and it doesnt seem to lock you out if you try to open another instance of Mozilla or if you close the browser and leave the mail open and then try to reopen the browser.
I understand Mozilla is a work in progress, but this is very frustrating. In general it has been a rough couple of days for me in Linux. I am not yet trying to do any real sophisticated stuff, but the little things that arent working well is what is getting to me. My problems with IRC programs, etc. :-[
im not sure, sorry. is there anything in bugzilla?

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of the study is to compare the immune response of two different injection methods (Intramuscular V.S. Subcutaneous) of the 2011-2012 seasonal Influenza (Flu) vaccine among patients with neuromuscular conditions who have significant muscle degeneration. This research study hypothesizes that the subcutaneous route of vaccine administration, as compared to the intramuscular route, may confer at least comparable, or possibly better, immunogenicity. At least 30 individuals followed by the CCHMC Neuromuscular Comprehensive Care Center will be recruited to participate in this study lasting approximately one to two months with two clinic visits and one follow-up telephone call. Immunogenicity will be assessed by comparing hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody titers obtained pre- and post-vaccination.

I need a partitioning tool and preferably one that has a GUI and is non-destructive.
Or how would I create a new partition out of an old Win partition atm I've got all my linux on one drive but I could just reformat a Win partition to xfs or ext2 and mount it in linux but I'd need a lable for it outside hdaX.
GUI and partition managment is evil mix ... cfdisk would be a good choice and as far as GUI goes ... I wouldn't like beyond that ( hint: partition magic - evil tool ). Some had successfully used it ( PM ) and have no problem but as far as my experience goes, nothing but trouble.
I think I tried cfdisk once and it didn't like me, PM 7 has worked great for me for everything except iirc it doesn't have XFS (which is what I'm currently running) and wouldn't know what to rename another linux partition since each one needs a name and would be be ext2.
Have you tried regular fdisk? It is ver functional, more flexible than the POS MS-FDISK and doesnt do anything until you actually write to disk. I personally have to agree with compunuts, that most GUI tools are not a very good idea to use. And try to go ext3 instead of ext2, if you can ;D
If I had my way I'd go XFS, I tried EXT3 once during one of my first Gentoo installs and didn't like the way it went at all.
My other question has to do with just reformatting, but what would I do to add a second partition that's linux rather than merging it with my current partition?
Here's what I do:
Boot Mandrake install cd.
Partition using diskdrake.
Install Gentoo.
[quote author=Lovechild link=board=2;threadid=3834;start=0#38643 date=1024519434]
Here's what I do:
Boot Mandrake install cd.
Partition using diskdrake.
Install Gentoo.
I can't tell you how many times i have done the samething, all except for the Gentoo part.
That would be one of the better ways to go but I don't want to have to reinstall Gentoo. It took me long enough to get it where it is now and it's not exactly Debian where I can have a working system in under an hour.
But DiskDrake (DiskDruid for that matter) wont touch what you dont want it to. Dont let it format the drive and dont change the partion table other than what the FAT entries are. The other partitions will be preserved.
For example we have /dev/hda with hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 all as the partitions.
4=Windows 2K
We can vape the hda4 partition out chunk it up a few times and
format them up the way you want. hda1-3 are left alone this way. Then If you decided that you want to make a separate /var partiton, you can boot to linux copy it over to the drive and be done (after modifying the /etc/fstab of course)

Meningitis is a contagious infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. According to CDC, 1,000 to 2,000 people are infected with meningococcal disease each year in the US. Even with antibiotics, 10-15% of these individuals die, another 11-19% will have limb loss,
become deaf, have problems with their nervous systems, have mental disabilities or suffer from seizures or strokes. This is why preventing this severe disease through the use of meningococcal vaccine is important for people at high risk.
In the mix of recent college acceptance letters and forms for your child, you might have seen a recommendation or requirement for the meningococcal vaccine from their future alma mater. College freshmen are a core group the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends to receive the vaccine.
This group also includes U.S. military recruits, adolescents and anyone traveling to a part of the world where meningococcal disease is common, such as Africa.
The Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services has the meningococcal vaccine available at a lower cost. To be vaccinated, visit us .

Top 10 Most Outrageous Celebrity Wardrobe Malfunctions (page 7)
August 10, 2011 10:30 AM
4. Ricky Berens Doesn't Look Back
Ladies don't have to be the only celebs victimized by faulty wardrobes. Just ask Ricky Berens! The world champion swimmer's suit ripped in the back just moments before the start of his leg of the Men's 4×100-m relay at the FINA Swimming World Championships in Rome in 2009. In swimming, there's really no way to call a "time out," so Berens had no choice but to run the race with his backside exposed!

With Princess P turning three this year (so hard to believe!), I have several small goals in mind that I hope she will accomplish. One of the things on my list that I hope she will conquer – getting rid of her sippy cup! And, while I understand that the transition from a sippy cup to a regular cup can be a messy one, I thankfully have the AUTOSEAL Kids Trekker Cup from Contigo to help with the process.
The Contigo Kids Trekker Cup is armed with AUTOSEAL Technology to prevent accidental spills and is perfect for use in the car, on-the-go or even in school lunches. The Patented AUTOSEAL lid is 100% leak-proof and 100% spill-proof and is all one piece so you don't have to worry about loose parts. Available in a variety of fun colors, the AUTOSEAL Kids Trekker Cup from Contigo is perfect for kids that have outgrown sippy cups but not outgrown the messes that come with regular cups.
Contigo recently sent Princess P the AUTOSEAL Kids Trekker Cup in the cool Teal color combination. And, immediately upon its arrival, Princess P wanted to know what it was and how to work it. But first, I had to learn how…
The AUTOSEAL Kids Trekker Cup automatically seals between sips to prevent spilling. So, to operate the cup, simply press the button on the front (on the teal cup, the button is pink) to sip and release to reseal. Super easy! Each cup can hold up to 14 oz and features an easy-grip shape on the outside that makes it perfect for smaller hands. The Kids Trekker Cup is also BPA, Phthalate, and PVC free!
I am loving that this cup is truly leak-proof, though! After many attempts (i.e. dropping it, shaking it and turning it upside down a number of times) at trying to get it to spill, it did not! I also love the fact that it is dishwasher safe!
Buy It: The AUTOSEAL Kids Trekker Cup is available to purchase on the Contigo website for $5.99
