This BBC News article about a Symantec survey doesn't surprise me, I see evidence of port scanners in my logs pretty regularly. You can bet their motive in doing the survey though was probably just an effort to boost software sales.

Huh, I am going to have to download a firewall and install it just to see this for myself. I was even dumb enough to think that hackers wouldn't even bother with a dial-up user...not that I have anything to lose on this computer...but still would be interesting to see the port scans!
P.S. of course that was to sell security software, but it was still interesting! heheh

I whole-heartedly believe that gross stupidity, willful ignorance and/or prolific breeding when one's socioeconomic status is such that you can't support children should be grounds for sterilization. I also believe that certain parts of the world I won't name that just can't get along (there are many) should be walled up and allowed to destroy themselves.
I do however believe in universal health care, freedom of religion, limited redistribution of wealth and serious regulation of the corporate world. Governments should stay out of your homes and away from your guns but they need to get right up the arse of every merchant bank that's engineered a financial collapse. Also, set copyright lobbyists on fire.

Soon after the program aired, a street vendor was spotted trying to pass off sex toys as real longevity mushrooms that Emperor Qin Shin Huang wanted for his elixirs of life. At the vender's stall, the bungled news program even played on a laptop—to clue unsuspecting customers in.
The vender offered three different "mushrooms", priced between approximately US$120 for a sprout mushroom and $2,800 for a full grown one. Next to his table, a bucket with water kept the mushrooms "fresh".
In the clip, you can see the vender's spread—and hear people calling his mushrooms bullshit. The guy holding the camera asks the vender why one of them doesn't have an "eye", making a clever pun in the process ("eye" can be Chinese slang for "anus").
Not picking up on the sex joke pun, the vender replied, "It's because this was only buried for about four years. It's not mature enough to grow the eye yet."
Hopefully, nobody will actually try to eat these "mushrooms". Have sex with them, um, maybe, but eat them, please no.

A report from TheBlaze.com alleges that the state of New York is using its recently enacted NY SAFE Act as justification to confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens — specifically individuals who have been prescribed anti-anxiety medication. But some Second Amendment advocates allege the scheme is part of a larger federal gun control plot.
According to the Blaze, on April 1 a legal gun owner in upstate New York, later identified by a Buffalo newspaper as 35-year-old David Lewis, "received an official notice from the state ordering him to surrender any and all weapons to his local police department. The note said that the person's permit to own a gun in New York was being suspended as well."
Lewis went to the police station with his attorney, New York gun law expert Jim Tresmond, where he voluntarily turned over his firearms, and was given a receipt for them. If Lewis had not voluntarily turned in his guns, the police would have come to his house to demand them.
The language of the NY SAFE Act explains that the purpose of the law is to "protect New Yorkers by reducing the availability of assault weapons and deterring the criminal use of firearms." The new law bans "assault" style "weapons" — meaning most semi-automatic firearms — and imposes a strict gun-licensing process. As enacted, it also banned the sale of 10-round magazines, but this provision was amended to allow the continued sale of the magazines while requiring that no more than seven rounds be loaded into them.
There is an additional provision that applied to Tresmond's client, and, most likely, thousands of other New Yorkers. That provision requires "mental health professionals, in the exercise of reasonable professional judgment, to report if an individual they are treating is likely to engage in conduct that will cause serious harm to him- or herself or others." Under such a determination, "the Division of Criminal Justice Services will determine whether the person possesses a firearms license and, if so, will notify the appropriate local licensing official, who must suspend the license. The person's firearms will then be removed."
That provision apparently extends to requiring that doctors breach their responsibility of maintaining patient privacy by informing law enforcement agencies, led by the New York State Police, if a patient has been prescribed or is taking an anti-anxiety medication.

President Barack Obama could not ask for a more helpful "opposition" party in charge of the House of Representatives. For the second time this month House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has maneuvered to prevent Congress from demanding that Obama abide by the Constitution's requirement that wars be initiated by the legislative branch, not the executive. Furthermore, in seeking a middle ground between the patently irreconcilable options of enforcing the Constitution and adhering to the bipartisan consensus in favor of untrammeled presidential intervention abroad, Boehner has ensured that Obama's illegal war in Libya continues indefinitely.

When i was a little girl, i knew someone who would take me with them to drop my pets off out on back roads.
I'm here(at peta2) because i will never do something so awful to my pets, and i will NEVER teach my children something so cruel and just plain wrong. #weareallanimals <3

I live and breathe music, and if I could do a benefit concert for the animals, I WOULD SO DO IT!!!!!
I have been a vegetarian for a little over 5 years now. I grew up in a small town, worked in a city, moved to college and that just about sums it up.
Super outgoing introvert that hates and loves people at the same time.
It only takes one voice to make a difference.
idk man im just weird and i like music and animals there aint much else
I've been vegetarian for six years, working my way to a vegan lifestyle. All of my pets are rescues, and I love them dearly. If you'd like to know anything, feel free to add or message me! :D
I'm vegan, and I'm homeschooled. I was a vegetarian for a year and I didn't want to believe the milk and egg industry was so bad because I was so used to consuming them. Being a vegetarian didn't feel like enough, so I became vegan and I feel so much better and healthier! I'm not sure what I want to do with my life and I desperately want to find out what my purpose is.

Apple, app developers and hacks alike have all been frustrated by the secret to improved battery life. Well, it looks like BattSaver might be one answer.
BattSaver is a new jailbreak tweak by xVolks, a company of iPhone hackers. BattSaver could potentially up to double the battery life of an iPhone. BattSaver identifies features in the smartphone that are draining its battery life and suppresses them.
BattSaver concentrates on iPhone radios, i.e. Wi-Fi and cellular connections. The jailbreak tweak manages power usage when iPhone radios are enabled and disabled. Theoretically, this gives the device an increase in battery life.
BattSaver allows users to choose one of four saving strategies:
• Normal mode: When the iPhone is "sleeping", BattSaver disables all radio signals. The iPhone will still check for new email every 15 minutes.
• Aggressive mode: If Wi-Fi is connected, BattSaver disables the data connection completely. The idea here is if the phone is already Wi-Fi connected, don't waste battery power with a data connection in-waiting.
• Ultimate mode: This mode completely disables all radio signals. It's almost the same as a smartphone's Airplane Mode.
• Custom: Allows countless configurations for BattSaver - perfect for jailbreakers.
The BattSaver jailbreak tweak is available for download in the Cydia Store for $2.99.

AL teams could have interest in Carlos Beltran
According to Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com, American League teams in search of an OF-DH, like the Rangers and White Sox, could have interest in Carlos Beltran.
However, he adds, "To trade Beltran, the Mets would need to assume a significant portion of his $18.5 million salary for 2011."
Last Friday on the MLB Network's Hot Stove show, host Harold Reynolds suggested the Mets send Beltran to the Dodgers for Jonathan Broxton.
Broxton had a 1.07 WHIP, 19 saves and a 2.11 ERA during the first half of last season, then blew 5 saves with a .207 WHIP and a 7.13 ERA in 25 appearances in the second half. He will earn $7 million next season, after which he can be a free agent.
In talking to people who know him, I hear Beltran is looking to sign a multi-year deal next off season, and will gladly accept a trade to another team, especially if it's to a hitter's park where he can also play center field.
In a report for the Boston Globe, Nick Cafardo lists Beltran among dozens of players who will be talked about in trades this off season, like Prince Fielder, Gordon Beckham, Aaron Hill, Jacoby Ellsbury and Daisuke Matsuzaka.

The iPod from Apple is a media player that has grown to popularity among all age groups particularly the younger generation. Though it became popular as a music player in the initial years of its release, as new features like photo viewing and video playback capabilities were added to it, it transformed from a mere music player into a media player that could pretty much playback any type of media file and could store it easily on its mini hard drive which was available in various capacities. They also varied in terms of the size, shape, technology used etc.
As music files had to be frequently transferred to and from the device, there were chances of the music files getting deleted or lost from the iPod due to various reasons which would then require the help of an iPod recovery software that could restore music from iPod easily. Like music files, the recent line of iPods support playback of videos of various file formats. This makes the loss or deletion of video files a possibility like that of a music file or a photo. In such scenarios too, an iPod recovery tool can help you restore video files from various iPod models.
However, the probability or chances of recovering the deleted or lost files depends extensively on how the user handles the situation after the files have been deleted or lost. If the user has continued to use the iPod for saving new data, the chances of recovering the files reduces considerably as there are high chances of the files being overwritten by the new files that are saved onto the device. To avoid this it is always recommended that you stop using the affected iPod immediately, download the recovery software and recover all the deleted or lost files.

Here's a link to the book by Colin Tudge describing the full story of Ida.
Here's a Synopsis:
The astonishing new discovery that could change everything...
For more than a century, scientists have raced to unravel the human family tree and have grappled with its complications. Now, with an astonishing new discovery, everything we thought we knew about primate origins could change. Lying inside a high-security vault, deep within the heart of one of the world's leading natural history museums, is the scientific find of a lifetime – a perfectly fossilized early primate, older than the previously most famous primate fossil, Lucy, by an astonishing forty-four million years.
A secret until now, the fossil - "Ida" to the researchers who have painstakingly verified her provenance – is the most complete early primate fossil ever found. 47 million years old, Ida rewrites what we've assumed about the earliest primate origins. So much of what we understand about evolution comes from partial fossils and even single bones, but Ida's fossilization offers much more than that, from a haunting "skin shadow" to her stomach contents. And, remarkably, knowledge of her discovery and existence almost never saw the light of day.
With exclusive access to the first scientists to study her, the award-winning science writer Colin Tudge tells the history of Ida and her place in the world. The Link offers a wide-ranging investigation into Ida and our earliest origins – and the magnificent, cutting-edge scientific detective story that followed her discovery. At the same time, it opens a stunningly evocative window into our past and changes what we know about the evolution of primates and, ultimately, ourselves.

Do you know how many times evolutionary believers have announced the fossil that will be the savior of the evolutionary farce? The true missing link?
And guess how many of them have receded into obscurity after the hopeful, faithful rejoice over the supposed proofs that turn out to be entirely simian or human?
You are right when you say again, and it won't be the last time such religious hype will announce a new evidence, only to be downgraded to nothing.
Remember Lucy, tiktalik, not to mention the various pigs teeth and hoaxes of the past. I'd not rest my faith on such overhyped evidence. Another one to bite the dust, so to speak, if you ask me.

impossible precision is not required for a argument to be considered "true enough" to work with.

The real test is how consistent it is with established knowledge.

It has come to my attention that there is some real scientific controversey over whether this fossil belonged to the primate group anncestral to anthropoid monkeys (and consequently humans), so we can't claim anything about this fossil being our ancestor (at least not yet). Furthermore, Answers in Genesis posted something on their site which I tear to shreds here:

there's the beauty in building Quality Knowledge;
Cross-checking your information.
Its just a process that should happen to everything from missing links, to utility bills, to human origins, to whether Jesus was God or not.

danielg said: Do you know how many times evolutionary believers have announced the fossil that will be the savior of the evolutionary farce? The true missing link?Daniel, evolution is not a "farce" despite Hank Hanegraaff's book title. I do understand where you are coming from as I thought the same thing for over 20 years of my life when I was a creationist. Daniel, if you would do some objective investigation, and I do mean objective, you would discover how overwhelming the evidence for evolution really is, so much so that scientists no longer question the fact of evolution, only the various mechanisms. There are even a number of evangelical Christian scholars who have written in defense of evolution because of the evidence.
As far as the "missing links" go this is really media hype which I really hate. Scientists haven't been looking for "missing links" for some time, rather, they see mountains of evidence for various "transitional features" in the fossil record and Ida (and yes even Tiktaalik) is no different. Whether this fossil lives up to all of the hype doesn't change the fact that evolution has occurred and will continue to do so.

whoopsie, you should change your title to 'another evolutionary hoax, again.'

I wouldn't expect palentologists to accept this finding without first looking at it. To be honest, I initially wondered why such a finding was not first published in a peer reviewed journal, since that's the usual protocol. We'll see.
- May 22, 2009 at 1:14 PM
- Anthony said...
TD, your comments are just simply childish. No one has called this fossil a "hoax" and notice that it is evolutionary scientists that are disputing the nature of the find. I personally wondered what all of the hoopla was about anyway. It appears more than likely that we have a lot of grand standing so someone can make a name for themselves (although I could be wrong). This fossil does not make or break the theory of evolution.

I think PZ Myers wrote a good post about the significance of this fossil. It's a significant find, but not worth the incredible amount of hype that the media has made about it:

BUFFALO, NY-- A juror in the Dr. James Corasanti trial who was thrown off the case after being arrested on drunk driving charges during the case, will not be heading to jail.
Michael Barron, 40, of Kenmore, was sentenced Monday to 100 hours of community service.
His license was revoked for one year, and he must participate in a drinking and driving program as well as a victim impact panel.
Barron crashed his car into a light pole near Kenmore Mercy Hospital on Elmwood Avenue earlier this year. Police say he fled the scene and was followed by a witness who called 911. He was caught a few blocks away by Town of Tonawanda Police.
The arrest caused him to be delayed in getting to court on time when the Corasanti trial began. The Judge dismissed Barron from the jury once the truth revealed why he was late to court.

Ordered two skins for delivery to the UK. Products arrived in good time. Easy to apply, they look great and keep your phone scratch free. Would recommend getting a clear screen protector too as the skin is for the body of the phone only. Very pleased with these two though, so much so I ordered another skin for my wife.Dave Bennett, United Kingdom

Mets, Jays talk catchers, Arencibia will cost prospects (not Niese or Dickey)
According to Andy Martino of the Daily News, the Mets and Blue Jays talked during the Winter Meetings about various deals.
According to Martino, the Mets and Jays met both yesterday and on Monday, and while rival executives believe the Mets like Travis D'Arnaud, the Blue Jays appear more inclined to move J.P. Arencibia.
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports said last weekend the Blue Jays are most likely to trade Arencibia, and the Mets and Jays have discussed a deal for Arencibia around Jon Niese.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
The way I understand, contrary to Rosenthal's report, any deal for Arencibia would be for Mets pitching prospects, not necessarily Niese or R.A. Dickey… though I suppose if they wanted it could all come together in a larger deal sending a better bat to the Mets as well << click to tweet this.
The Mets and Jays talked a lot last season, so much so that people close to the team often mentioned Jon Niese and d'Arnaud in the same potential deal. No trade ever materalized. But with Ricciardi's knowledge of Toronto's farm system, it stands to reason these teams would be talking again.
Michael Baron, Contributor
Arencibia isn't eligible for arbitration until next winter, meaning he is under control for at least four seasons. I worry about his ability to hit outside of the American League East and in a more pitcher-friendly division like the National League East. But given the low-cost commitment it's a small gamble to take, assuming the price is right in trade.

With a $100,000 gift, Hyde-Stone Mechanical Contractors has established the first corporate charitable foundation within the Northern New York Community Foundation.
Hyde-Stone, which has offices in Watertown, Potsdam and Plattsburgh, has shifted from awarding grants through the company to using a more formalized, nonprofit structure that will help fund projects and programs in Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence and Clinton counties.
I think were still trying to get our arms around it, said Jay F. Stone, owner and Community Foundation board member. Were in a learning curve. Hopefully well make it grow.
Future contributions from Hyde-Stone to its charitable foundation depend on how business goes, Mr. Stone said.
Community Foundation Executive Director Rande S. Richardson said the Hyde-Stone charitable foundation will make its own grant award decisions, but also may be able to partner with the Community Foundation on projects that interest both parties.
Were always in a much stronger position if were able to use multiple sources, Mr. Richardson said. From the Stone family, they see this as the potential opportunity to encourage other corporations to do their giving in a more formalized way as well.
Mr. Stone said he and his company remain dedicated and committed to local communities. Hyde-Stone is led by Mr. Stone, his wife, Dawn, and their two sons, Christopher and Thom.
The Community Foundation said in a released statement that it works with individual and corporate donors, as well as nonprofit organizations and schools, to enhance the overall value of their missions and interests.

Noticed this on Outdoorsmagic:http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/gear-news/2013-gear-preview---montane/9862.htmlThe stand-out item is the Montane Minimus Smock - which is claimed to weigh just 143g.It's also made of Pertex Shield +, which is the more breathable iteration.Related question - why isn't BPL reporting from Friedrichshafen?
I recently put my hands on this and tried it on - very nice piece IMO. I do think that the Pertex Shield+ has a nice hand and despite not really breathing like the magical membranes, is a good fabric nonetheless for UL BPing pieces. I look forward to seeing this released in the fall - thanks for bringing this up!
Between the Montane Minimus Smock (5oz), Westcomb Focus LT (7oz) and Haglofs Gram Comp Pull (7oz), there's going to be some really nice rain jackets for this fall (Focus) and next summer. All of these use better membranes that the PU ones found on most UL rainwear. Montane Minimus Smock (5oz/143g) = Pertex Shield+Westcomb Focus LT (7oz, 195g) = eVent DVLHaglofs Gram Comp Pull (7oz, 200g) = Goretex Active Shell.The Focus LT looks the most promising to me. It supposedly offers a nice long 'full cut' instead of the 'abbreviated' fit of most UL jackets. It's the only one of these three with a full zip, eVent and velcro wrists. The Haglofs Gram Comp Pull looks like have really nice fabric and hopefully has the great cut of the Ozo it replaces, but it looks like the [highly desired by me] thumb loops are gone. Great jacket, but unless the fit is amazing there's not many reasons to buy it over the likely cheaper Focus LT.The Minimus Smock is the true lightweight champ and it does have that huge belly pocket for your maps. My wife has the regular womens Minimus Jacket and I have the Minimus rain pants. We've both been quite happy with them so far (quite limited use). The face fabrics are nice, but the actual membrane on the inside looks quite thin. Hard to say how long it will hold under pack straps etc. Appears to have non-adjustable hood, unlike the other two jackets. Likely the best choice for a rarely used jacket, but for 2oz more you can get a lot with one of the other coats.Haglofs Gram Comp Pull: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WKDODxDq-a0/T_YEamiOqYI/AAAAAAAAAeA/Kk-FhprOotY/s1600/Gram_Comp_Pull_Firefly.jpgWestcomb Focus LT: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aesXbnAhR6c/T-0BSaEmgsI/AAAAAAAAG18/by5_FdjLoFM/s1600/Westcomb-FOCUS.jpg

"I recently put my hands on this and tried it on - very nice piece IMO. I do think that the Pertex Shield+ has a nice hand and despite not really breathing like the magical membranes, is a good fabric nonetheless for UL BPing pieces. I look forward to seeing this released in the fall - thanks for bringing this up!"Do you mind me asking where you got to try it on? Was it a trade show?I'd like something genuinely breathable to carry in my bike panniers for when rain gets uncomfortable heavy/steady, so something this light would be good - Pertex claim that Shield+ is as breathable as eVent, is that what you have found? (and I have to say that unless it's quite cold, I don't really find eVent breathable enough when cycling anyway).
I am on my second Minimus Jacket. The first one I wore around town a lot for over a year and used on three weekend hiking trips, including one flooded trip where I experienced eleven inches of rain in less than 24 hours! The fabric, especially around the shoulders would wet through more than I thought it should, not just under the straps. Ultimately, the fabric delaminated. I sent photos to Montane who confirmed the problem and concluded that I must have some defective fabric and recommended that I return the jacket to the retailer for a refund which I did. However, the jacket is so darn comfortable (I bought one size up) and light that I used the refund to buy another. I have several Montane products and hope that my experience with the Minimus Pertex Shield was an aberration. I haven't had the replacement jacket long enough to be able to evaluate it yet but I will post my results in time.In September I am hiking for four days in the Cascades and am debating whether to take the Minimus or my Rab Event Smock. The Minimus is so much lighter and compact but I am not sure whether I should take the chance to test gear then or to take the proven performance of my Rab smock.
one thing i would not do is buy one of these UL jackets without a killer no questions asked warranty ... while i suspect fabrics have improved, IMO youre still taking a decent chance with these low denier fabrics ... whether its delamination or abrasion, there are too many stories i hear about these UL jackets having a few issuesi own and use an OR helium so im definately not against them ... but the i have an absolute no questions asked even if i get mauled by bears warranty ... OR will still take care of it ... some of these other manufacturers may not have such when in doubt, buy it from REI or backcountry
Gerry,If you used that first Minimus jacket for over a year, then I think it would be the older version of the Minimus that used the regular Pertex Shield membrane instead of newer Pertex Shield+. So it's possible the delamination issue is now fixed.
I tried the Jacket on today and it looked very nice, but the lack of pockets put me off.
Hi DW,Per the norm, my watched threads here usually don't get forwarded to me...irregardless I found your question in the mix.I tried the Minimus SMOCK on here directly from a friendly Montane rep in the states. IIRC, the HH breathablility ratings are 20,000mm for Pertex+ which as you may know doesn't mean all that much. Hydrostatic head ratings are decent comparisons among PU membranes, but arguably antiquated compared to CFM. It is CFM that you probably want (eVent=0.1CFM and NeoShell=0.5CFM) vs PU membranes (GoreTex, Shield+ etc = 0.0CMF) that essentially rely on wicking, not air permeability. If eVent is not breathing well enough for you, then NeoShell is your only true option I believe.Somebody please correct me if my numbers/ideas are off, as I'm not cross referencing this info.
Nicholas,You correctly referenced the numbers provided in the recent Polartec marketing literature. I lab tested a few eVent jackets last year; the light-face-fabric versions averaged .54 CFM and the best I tested was .84 CFM. Also, last year Will R. published an article, based on his subjective tests, in BPL, where he concluded they had similar breathability while hill climbing a fixed course.Backpacking averages 7 MET and only aggressive venting options will typically expel the resultant body moisture for either membrane type at that exertion level. If you are an average in-town user, either membrane is typically adequate to expel the body moisture without aggressive venting.
Edited by richard295 on 07/21/2012 18:53:18 MDT.
Richard,Thanks as always for your info, it is greatly appreciated!I have owned and used most of these membranes for high exertion activities and I have found NeoShell to win IMO. Its even *noticeably* more breathable than my eVent jackets, which are marginally more breathable than my PU based pieces. Anecdotal evidence, I do realize, but lots of personal use all the same. As for average town use or lower exertion levels, I agree that nearly any WP/B will suffice. I believe that's why Gore-Tex has won for so many years and will probably continue to do so - most avg users find it to work fine in mostly avg situations. But I can personally attest to all season mountain use where eVent and NeoShell have won in my book. I also realize there is probably no holy grail in WP/B, especially when it comes to hard use in wet weather.Disclosure: None of these companies pay me, nor am I under obligation to say anything about the products I use/buy/test - I just use what works best for my given application. Currently this is eVent and NeoShell. Taken all with grains of salt...
Im confused about your disclosure comment. What are you disclosing? Do you work in the industry or something?
Dan, Thanks. I did not know that there was a change or improvement in Pertex Shield.Gerry
"Per the norm, my watched threads here usually don't get forwarded to me...irregardless I found your question in the mix."No probs.Well, if it's raining when I leave home then I wear my Paramo Velez - it's far and away the most effective waterproof I have. The problem with it is that it's otherwise too warm. I have a Montane Air eVent jacket, but even with that I get sweat inside. It is however better than my old Paclite jackets which are basically plastic bags.Which leads me to the eVent DVL: hopefully this will be the solution ... but those little rubber nubs on the DVL bring back bad memories of first gen paclite ...What I really want is a Dryskin cycling jacket, but there just don't seem to be any around.
Pictures of the Gram CompAlso interested in the Windstopper one.http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/gear-news/ultralight-active-shell-from-haglofs/10199.html
has anybodyput their hands on one? to me it also seems worth while (as @dan durston pointed out) to pay the price of 50 grams for velcro cuffs, fuller cut and full zip....how does the hood here cinch? has anybody seen a picture from the back? is it a well made "storm" type hood?is the hem just elastic or does it really cinch?any experience?Mike
I'm interested in the Westcomb Focus LT, but I'm wary of 2.5 layer materials. I've been disappointed in their durability in the past. My Marmot Mica started peeling after about a year of moderate use, despite the pretty design printed on the membrane that was alleged to magically quadruple its durability. I use a 0.33 oz cuben quilt and a 0.51 oz cuben tarp, and I'm happy to treat lightweight gear gently and accept that it won't last a lifetime, but 2-layer and "2.5 layer" WPB materials are a flawed idea, in my opinion. I think a sub-10oz 3-layer event jacket is possible (the Spektr needs a redesign to be practical, I think). I'll wait for that rather than invest in the Westcomb Focus LT.
I'll agree that historically 2.5 layers haven't faired that well. My Marmot Essence is starting to bubble after 3 years. However, I don't think there's anything fundamental about the 2.5 layer concept that is causing this, but rather the adhesives for bonding nylon to PU/PTFE haven't been that great from a few popular makers (most notably Marmot). Because the Focus LT is using an eVent product (eVent DVL) and I have a lot of respect for eVent (compared to any other WP/B maker), I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt that they've done a good job bonding the membrane to the shell. Waiting a few years to see how things actually turn out would be ideal, but as it is I'd rather run the risk it only lasts a few years rather than adding a bunch of bulk/weight for a 3 layer shell. I think CampSaver is going to have these in stock any time now, and you can use a 20% off coupon there pretty easily (ie. sign up for newsletter).
There's a heap of us Aussies that purchased Montane Air eVent jackets on a great clearance sale earlier this year. A few of the user's have reported issues with delamination very early on. I'm pretty sure they were replaced under warranty but it shouldn't happen. Now mines fine and I cannot see any issues. Just thought that you should know that eVent has/can have it's fair share of delamination issues as well.Even so it's my pick in a WPB shell
hmmmm - these all seem like great choices. I see the Montane smock isnt on their website yet...but the minimus jacket is 215g so I guess at the end of the day the diff in weight is more due to design (smock vs jkt) rather than the actual materials used in the minimus vs others? am i missing something?RE features - im a bit partial to "storm" features on hardshells - it seems silly to save maybe 15g and forgo hem cinch and sleeve velcro....when you put these things on it usually means that weather is foul and windy...Also - 60g diff btw a smock and the minimus jacket...hmmmm I love the full zip and ventilation options it gives -and also the option to drape it over something (end of sleeping bag for instance) if i need some protection...Of course if i had 350USD to spare i would buy both

Upper Respiratory Infection
Upper Respiratory Infection Overview
Patient Comment Read 1 Comment
The respiratory tract is divided into two categories based anatomy.
The "common cold" is usually caused by a viral infection and treatment is directed at managing symptoms while the body's own immune system fights the infection. Common symptoms of an upper respiratory infection such as a cold include a runny nose, post-nasal drip,cough, and nasal congestion. If laryngitis develops (larynx=voice box + itis=inflammation), the patient may lose their voice or become hoarse.
It is often difficult to know the difference between an acute upper respiratory infection and influenza (seasonal or H1N1 flu). However, influenza tends to cause symptoms and complaints that involve the entire body, including fever, chills, muscle aches and pains, and general malaise or feeling poorly. Colds tend not to have such broad body system involvement. If the health care practitioner is concerned about the diagnosis of influenza (flu), antiviral medications may be prescribed. There are no specific antiviral medications to treat the common cold.

Spring has Sprung – Savannah Style
Written by "Landscapes by Rick"
There's no place on Earth quite like beautiful downtown Savannah, also known as the 'First City in Georgia'. From the stately historic homes and businesses to the 22 beautiful squares, signs of spring are everywhere. Mother Nature has been very kind to us this year. Temps have been in the 80's this week. What beautiful weather for 'playing in the dirt'. Yes, I refer to my job as 'playing' because landscaping is my passion. When I'm planting, all the problems and cares in life just seem to take a back burner. I like to think of it as therapy.
One of my favorite places to 'play' is the historic Thunderbird Inn located on West Oglethorpe Avenue, just a short walk away from the heart of downtown Savannah. The moment you arrive, the atmosphere makes you feel like you're right at home. Hats off to Mark Thomas, General Manager, and all his staff for their hard work! Continue reading

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Paul Sheridan spent 10 years at Chrysler, his last as a Product Planning Manager, heading up safety leadership for the company.
Chrysler fired, then sued Sheridan, alleging he gave away confidential company information. Sheridan countered with a whistleblower lawsuit that claimed he was demoted, and then fired for speaking out about safety issues.
The court dismissed Sheridan's suit, and Chrysler dropped its suit against him. Now, Sheridan works as a paid consultant in the industry and has shifted his sights to the safety of the 1993 to 2004 model Jeep Grand Cherokees.
"Folks don't understand that their fuel tank is hanging out behind the axle below the bumper. They don't know they're at risk when they drive down the road with their family members in this vehicle," says Sheridan.
A risk, safety advocates say occurs more often in the Grand Cherokee because of where the gas tank is positioned - behind the rear axle.
The non profitCenter for Auto Safety first brought the issue to theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration or NHTSAback in 2009. The Center used the government's database to track fatal fire crashes linked to 1993 to 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees.
They have now tracked 51 accidents where 72 people died in rear, side and rollover crashes, where fire was the chief cause of their death.
Back in 2009, theCenter for Auto Safety asked NHTSA to investigate the problem. NHTSA did. Last week, they expanded their probe. And, in a NHTSA document, the safety agency says that "rear impact related tank failures and vehicle fires are more prevalent in the late model Jeep Grand Cherokee'sthan in non Jeeppeer vehicles."
Sheridan says he wants NHTSA to conduct their own crash tests to investigate further.
Sheridan observed the crash tests performed by a California engineering firm and paid for by the Center for Auto Safety. In this test, when a Ford Taurus strikes the Jeep Grand Cherokee, you see what's called an underride.
The Taurus bumper is lower to the ground and does not line up with this Grand Cherokee's bumper. Instead, it goes under the vehicle, striking the gas tank and creating a fire risk.
Chrysler takes issue with these tests. They maintain their cars met the federal standard for the Grand Cherokee at the time it was manufactured, which is true. And, that their vehicles are safe.
"It's been known in the industry for many, many decades. So when this vehicle was actually delivered to the public, it wasn't that the underride accident scenario was unknown. It was known, " says Sheridan.
Sheridan gave NHTSA a once-confidential memo, that according to court documents, was widely distributed throughout the company. It is dated August 24, 1978 and details potential issues with the gas tank placement and fiery deaths.
In it, two development and safety managers for Chrysler wrote:
"There is a concern with vertical height differences that create a mismatch with passenger car bumpers."
And, "where fuel tank location behind the rear axle is all that is feasible, a protective impact deflection structure may have to be provided whether or not a bumper is provided."
The memo goes on to say: "An investigation into whether to relocate the fuel tank or to provide impact deflecting structures is presently underway."
When this memo was written, American Motors Corporation owned Jeep. In 1987, Chrysler bought Jeep and inherited the gas tank placement design. The design for the Jeep Grand Cherokee changed in 2005.
Sheridan and other safety advocates say a steel skid plate could be just the thing to help deflect the impact of a crash and prevent a fire. It can cost anywhere from $200 to $450 dollars depending on the manufacturer.
"This will completely protect the tank duringa rear end collision and rather than making direct contact with the tank, you will have protection from this very strong device that bolts to the vehicle," says Sheridan.
Sheridan and the Center for Auto Safety believe a skid plate isone relatively inexpensive fix. Chrysler offered skid plates on the 1993 through 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees as an option for off roading.
We don't know how many Jeep vehicles have a factory or after market steel skid plate installed. In 2005, the company moved the gas tank ahead of the rear axle and added the skid plate as a standard piece of equipment.
Chrysler says it "conducted rear impact testing without skid plates and the 93-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee exceeded the rigorous federal rear impact test requirements and performance, and that the overwhelming majority of rear impact fires over the life of the 93-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee were the result of high speed, high energy crashes in which a skid plate would have made no difference in the outcome of these tragic events."
Paul Sheridan says he would not put a family member in one of these vehicles without some additional protection to the tank.
And, when asked whether Chrysler could say he's a disgruntled employee with an ax to grind, Sheridan responded: "The priority for me is making sure there are no more deaths and no more serious burn accidents regarding, with respect to this vehicle."
And, he also says, "I share my expertise in the area of automotive safety, and that's my primary purpose," says Sheridan.
Paul Sheridan is now an expert paid by trial lawyers to testify against Chrysler in cases that involve the 1993 to 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees and deaths or injuries that have resulted from fiery crashes.
NHTSA is apparently concerned enough with what they have reviewed so far to expand their fire investigation. It now includes 1993 to 2001 Cherokee's and 2002 to 2007 Jeep Liberty vehicles.
Earlier in the story, we mentioned that Chrysler moved the gas tank ahead of the rear axle beginning with the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. Since then, according to the Center for Auto Safety, who were the first to raise these concerns - there have been no fire related deaths linked to the gas tank.
It's important to note that, right now, this is just an investigation, not a recall.
So what should you do if you have one of these vehicles?
Auto experts say you should limit the amount of time you spend in the vehicle. One expert told us that people with these vehicles should press Chrysler to come up with a fix. But Chrysler says there's no fix necessary. They say, these vehicles are safe and that some of their employees own and drive the models now being investigated.
But, if you are interested in the skid plate we showedyou in the story, here are some links:

My mail() script is working fine. But the problem is that people are spamming i.e sending random mails which is causing hell to my inbox+junk folder.
I am thinking to restrict each IP for only sending 2 emails, that is IP can only send 2 emails, for sending more he will have to change his IP. so in this way I think this spam would decrease.
so anyway or can some one help me to code this ? or directly give me php code.

Honestly late last year while laying in my hospital bed I remember asking my room full of doctors, seriously how is anyone expected to live with such intractable spine, nerve root pain and a multitude of complicated and some rare medical issues. To add insult to injury a central nervous system infection that caused additional inflammation of the spine. Discharged from the hospital after several days with an IV picc placed in my arm in order to receive antibiotic treatment for six months in order to try and kill this infection. On discharge I was warned that the pain is likely to increase before it gets any better. I was told to prepare myself for permanent life changes and to find a good pain management doctor. All the while all I could think about was how easier it would be to die AND then I met with Dr. Tennant. I believe he may have very well saved my life. I am thankful every day for the care and improved quality life Dr. Tennant has provided me & by extension my family

Retention Policy for Graduate Students
Following successful completion of the first three courses, the student must continue to maintain a
cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.0 in order to remain in good standing. If the cumulative
grade point average drops below 3.0 at the end of any semester, the student may continue to attend for one more semester with the approval of the Graduate Council. If, following approval to continue through a probationary period, the CGPA has been raised to 3.0, the student may continue with the program in good standing. Students who fail to improve to the level of good standing after one semester of probation will be dismissed from the program. Courses with a grade lower than "C" do not count toward the degree and must be repeated.
The structure of the curricular offerings necessitates that students maintain active continuous enrollment in the program. If students find it necessary to skip a semester offering, they may maintain good standing if the course can be made up at a later time. However, if the student fails to enroll for two consecutive semesters, he or she will be classified as inactive and advisory services will be curtailed.
If, for whatever reason, a student fails to engage in continuous enrollment (as defined above), he or
she must petition the Graduate Council for consideration for re-admittance. The petition must be done formally in writing to the assistant dean of education and graduate studies, and must outline the student's request and plan for program completion. Depending on the circumstances of a student's departure from the program and the availability of space in the current cohorts, the Graduate Council may provide varied recommendations and requirements for re-admittance. Students will be notified in writing, of the council's decision and re-entry requirements.

|UPDTATED: Mountaineers romp over Jacksonville, 45-14
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Saturday, 11 September 2010 21:15
Any ideas the Jacksonville Dolphins may had of pulling of a huge upset came to a crashing halt on Saturday. The Dolphins put their best foot forward for two-and-a-half quarters, but in the end Appalachian State prevailed 45-14 in its home opener in front of 28, 708 fans on what started as a rainy afternoon at Kidd Brewer Stadium. DeAndre Presley had another stellar day.(Photo by Daniela Osorio Bueno)
The junior racked up nearly 400-yards of total offense (20-31 passing for 285 yards and he ran for 101 yards on 16 carries) and he threw a career-high four touchdown passes. Three of those to Brian Quick.
Saturday's game also marked the return of ASU running back Devon Moore, who is on the Walter Payton watch list. Moore, who ran for more than a 1,000 yards last season, got the starting nod at running back for Saturday's home opener, and in limited action he carried 11 times for 39 yards and a touchdown.
