PrimeEnergy Corp. Stock Upgraded (PNRG)
TheStreet) -- PrimeEnergy (Nasdaq: PNRG) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally poor debt management and weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- PNRG's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 36.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 91.3%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period. Although other factors naturally played a role, the company's strong earnings growth was key. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $11.69 million or 21.81% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.50 and currently higher than the industry average, implying that there is very poor management of debt levels within the company. To add to this, PNRG has a quick ratio of 0.70, this demonstrates the lack of ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.

Denny McLain's career ended decades ago, but he is still making the minor league tour.
The former Detroit Tigers ace pitcher will make a stop at the West Michigan Whitecaps game today at Fifth Third Ballpark.
"We are working with the U.S. Military to do fundraising for them," McLain said. "It has been grand. It has been unbelievable the amount of dedication and support that our folks are still giving our military."
McLain will sign autographs and give away free downloads of his autobiography.
"We were asked to participate," he said. "We are doing more and more things for them all the time. They have a baseball team, which we will be marketing — the USA Military All-Stars. They were started by President Bush 25 years ago. That was the spirit they were trying to show back then. It is just nice to be a part of it. We should all be prouder than what we are. Until you see them, you don't really see how they are, and they are just terrific people."
McLain also will promote a new book he is getting ready to release.
In 1968, McLain became Major League Baseball's last 30-game winner (and the first since Dizzy Dean 34 years earlier), going 31-6. He was the first pitcher in the history of the American League to win both the MVP award and the Cy Young Award in the same season. He is one of only 10 pitchers to win both awards in the same year; the most recent was Justin Verlander in 2011. McLain also won the Cy Young award in 1969, tying with Baltimore's Mike Cuellar in the voting. He was a three-time All-Star.
McLain will sign autographs throughout the game against Fort Wayne on the first base concourse behind section 209. The first autograph for each fan is free; there will be a charge for additional autographs. He will have merchandise available for sale at his autograph table.
"This is our last week for the summer," he said. "We made 38 or 39 appearances this year. We have not had a rainout — all at minor league parks. Next year, the USA Military team will play 90 percent in minor league parks. They all do something for the military now."
McLain said he enjoys reliving memories with fans from the 1968 World Series and the rest of his career at these events.
"It is great sharing about the '68 team," he said. "It has been wonderful. There has not been a negative reception in five years."

Ok, so I made an applescript to lauch iguidance, still have to figure out some sort of floating button to switch back and forth but I think I have an idea for that too if I can't figure out how to do it with a script which would be ideal. The only thing I'm not sure how to do would be to map the script to the nav button in NBB. Is it scriptable, I haven't actually checked that yet. Also how is the XM working out, Im excited to have a car friendly XM solution. Right now I'm using JXM w/Line in and its kind of a hassle. I think its an accident waiting to happen, if you've used JXM you'll know what I mean. I've been trying to work my way around road runner and the LSX void skin but its not been too easy trying to get things going with that. In my opinion its not as intuative as say Amp or NBB.
BTW, I like the idea of using gestures to be able to scroll, don't know how hard it is to implement.

Keto Diets Are The Future
The worst part about ketogenic dieting is that long keto diet flu period. Feeling sluggish is no fun and that's exactly what happens when you start adapting to a low carb diet. Your brain starts to use ketones as fuel instead of glucose and this period can be excruciatingly long. Lucky, there is a way to accelerate keto adaptation. So if you're wondering how to get into ketosis, wonder no more! KetoShred is one of those keto supplements that will help you get into a ketogenic diet quicker so you don't have to deal with those brain fog symptoms any longer that you have to.
More Men Should Check Testosterone Levels
Somebody needs to do something about this devastating health epidemic. Men and women are getting fatter and fatter while health care costs keep rising. What is the problem. Are men at risk of lowered testosterone levels or at women at risk for increased body fat? Check out maximum shred for a trial of the supplement. One men's health company seems to think they know the answer. They are the makers of the testo xl supplement and they feel that males need to get their testosterone levels checked immediately.
Video Credit to: http://www.abo-group.com/testo-xl/
But checking your blood levels isn't enough. You can't just stop there. Look at the root cause of the obesity epidemic and examine your diet. How many carbs are you eating? If you are eating too many calories and need help losing some weight, then you should try trim 250 forskolin and see what happens to your weight loss.

Kingdom Come Again
. . . And again and again and again, leaving No Doubt who rules Orange County
Those words, on a sign just inside the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater grounds, greeted eager attendees to each of No Doubt's four Irvine shows on July 31, Aug. 1, 2 and 4, essentially the band's victory lap for a successful return tour that started in May. Other than a brief re-formation during the encores of a couple of Gwen Stefani solo gigs at the same venue in June 2007, it's the first time No Doubt—frequently referred to by some variation of "the biggest Orange County band of all time"—have played here since 2004.
So, yeah. It was a Big Deal, the kind that merits that many shows (each one sold out the 16,085-capacity venue) and plenty of "I remember them way back when!" reflection. It seems that everyone here has a story about how they saw No Doubt play some tiny, obscure venue in the early 1990s, or has a far-flung familial tie to one of the members. Andrew Youssef, one of our freelance photographers, relayed a story about how he saw them play a warehouse in Orange in 1994, and after the Aug. 4 show, he introduced me to a co-worker at his day job—who happened to be No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal's cousin. The next day, I stopped in at Denim Blue Vintage Victim in Huntington Beach and was told that one of the employees there is guitarist Tom Dumont's goddaughter. For all I know, the dude in front of me in line at Chipotle later that day probably took a judo class with drummer Adrian Young when they were in middle school.
That sign was just a bit of hyperbole placed there by promoters, but it's actually kinda true. Even if they hadn't been around in a while, even if they're internationally famous superstars, even if some of them don't live in the area anymore, No Doubt are permanently woven into the fabric of our culture—and unlike consumerism, conservatism or reality shows, they are something to be proud of.
From the moment supporting act Katy Perry wrapped up set-closer "I Kissed a Girl" on the Aug. 4 date, fans occupied the next 30 minutes of their lives by screaming out such impassioned declarations. I was lucky enough to land in the pit, packed in with the rest of the band's most hardcore devotees. One guy had a sign proclaiming he was attending his 16th concert on the tour. Another had come from Canada. Some chattered about how many of the previous Irvine shows they had attended in the past few days.
This was my first time seeing No Doubt in Orange County; I saw them in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2002 and 2004. As much as I'd like to say the Irvine crowd was special, that there was a noticeable difference in energy between the hometown crowd (about 90 percent female, Youssef estimated) and the ones I previously witnessed, I really can't. Clearly, folks love No Doubt here—but they loved them in Phoenix, too. And I'm sure they loved them in Albuquerque, Cleveland, Kansas City and every other stop on their "Summer Tour 2009." (Not a "reunion" tour, mind you. They never broke up, just took time off.) Even Perry (from Santa Barbara) seemed starstruck. "I met Gwen Stefani backstage," she said during her set. "I can safely say that I want to be like her when I grow up."
No Doubt are a lovable band, bursting with fun, upbeat songs. Get a band that big to play in front of that many people, playing that many huge hits, and you're going to generate excitement.
And man, people were excited. One of the loudest crowds I've been around in a while. And knowing they were playing their hometown—in front of people who probably all had some Byzantine connection to them—did make it seem like an even Bigger Deal.
Stefani worked "Orange County" into lyrics ("Orange County is so rock steady"), called us "Orange County girls" and "Orange County boys," and generally yelled "Orange County!" a lot, so there was no mistaking where the band were from or where this concert was happening. While introducing her associates during an extended "Different People" instrumental break, Stefani delineated the local ties of each member—she and Kanal from Anaheim, Dumont from Irvine, and Young from Cypress. She pointed out Kanal's time at Anaheim High School and Dumont's stint "flipping burgers" at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater (then known as the less blatantly corporate Irvine Meadows). They're not hiding from their pasts—not that they could if they wanted to.
Making that statement after "Underneath It All" on Aug. 4, in reference to selling out four Irvine shows, Stefani seemed totally sincere, even if it might be difficult to accept an "aww, shucks" moment from her, more so than from anyone else in the band. Sure, her already high profile has been raised to absurd levels in the past five years, after the massive pop success of her two solo records, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. and The Sweet Escape. She has sold millions of records, is on the cover of approximately a billion magazines each month, popped up in a Scorsese movie, married a super-handsome British dude, and spends her time between London and LA, but there still has to be something cool about being able to come back to your hometown (ish) and pack four consecutive shows, playing the role of "quintessential local boy(s and girl) done good."

Item has a Minimum Qty
The Sporti Polyester Linear Splice Jammer is hardly an abstract thought when it comes to quality. Made out of a material that is lightweight and quick-drying, you can easily care for this suit and have it last all season long.
Good material, not so great suit
I got the suit, tried it on, and initially I thought it was just that the fabric was flexible, but didn't stay on my skin well. I found this out by going to practice, and at nearly every wall after a pushoff, they came down ranging from a little bit to down to my thighs.

Sporti Linear Splice Jammer
These Jammers appear well made. I have worn other Jammers that were heavier grade Polyester, these are thin grade but NOT SEE THROUGH. They are lightweight, fit well, true to size, and comfortable. Short, but not too short at the waist. Long on the leg with fairly tight elastic at bottom. Any concern about these shorts are nullified because the PRICE was FANTASTIC!
North GA
Fit: Feels true to size
Too stretchy
Unlike the pure polyester suits by Sporti, this one (with too much lycra and spandex?) feels flimsy and not very durable
Tuscaloosa, AL
Seems high waisted
It is very long and reaches to the belly button.
Great fit
My 10year old son loves wearing this suit for team practice! He says it's very comfortable, good stretch for a polyester suit.

The Pursuit of Fairness
At the beginning of our involvement in World War II, just a year after A. Philip Randolph threatened his march on Washington, Mark Ethridge, the liberal publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal commented at a Fair Employment Practices Commission hearing, "No white Southerner can logically challenge the statement that the Negro is entitled, as an American citizen, to full civil rights and to economic opportunity." But, he continued, Northerners "must recognize that there is no power in the world—not even in all the mechanized armies of the earth, Allied and Axis—which could now force the Southern white people to the abandonment of the principle of social segregation."
In 1942 that outlook was considered realistic, and segregation was considered fair. A poll taken two years later asked, "Do you think Negroes should have as good a chance as white people to get any kind of job, or do you think white people should have the first chance at any kind of job?" Only 44 percent thought that blacks should have equal opportunity.
Fortunately, America has moved light years past those traditional assumptions—and nowhere is that more apparent than in race relations. After the civil rights and women's liberation movements, most citizens began to accept a different interpretation of fairness. An "underlying assumption of the rule of law, " wrote Justice Powell in Bakke, "is the worthiness of a system of justice based on fairness to the individual, " and that meant to every citizen.
This fundamental shift came about because of protests that revealed inequality in American society, a governmental response in the form of civil rights laws and equal employment and affirmative action regulations,

text: Hello. Can someone tell me what I can do to the following code fragment: sigma = {2,4,6,8} mu = {1,3,5,7} gauss[x_, mu_, sigma_] = (1/(2*\[Pi] * sigma^2))* E^-((x - mu)^2/(2*sigma^2)) lorentz[x_, m_, gamma_] = 1/(\[Pi]*gamma*(1 + ((x - m)/gamma)^2)) spec1 = Apply[Plus, gauss[x, mu, sigma]] spec2 = Apply[Plus, lorentz[x, mu, sigma]] spec1 and spec 2 correctly appear as sums of multiple terms, but I cannot plot either as a function of x. Where have I gone wrong? thanks for any help

Watch the best shootout goals of the season. WATCH NOW ›
Life's about opportunity and how you respond to that opportunity, and obviously he must have some swagger about him, some confidence about him, because he was solid. He made some good saves. He was 6-foot-3 on every shot, which is a good thing for a goalie. He played well. We got a win.

Detailed Description:
Children are referred to the Pediatric Oncology Branch (POB) for possible enrollment in clinical protocols for the treatment of cancer. While some children are not eligible for a specific protocol, they may present with disease manifestations that offer the potential for important new insights into the pathogenesis or clinical behavior of their underlying disease. In addition, children who have completed participation in a clinical protocol but do not currently have therapeutic protocol alternatives may continue to provide POB with important information. Diseases of interest to the POB include, but are not limited to lymphoma, brain tumors, Ewings sarcoma, leukemia, neuroectodermal tumors, osteosarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Hence, serial clinical evaluation of such patients, including the performance of clinical, laboratory, and diagnostic studies to help elucidate longitudinally the underlying disease mechanisms, and when clinically indicated standard care therapies, will assist POB meet its overall mission.
To be able to follow and evaluate children with cancer or pre-cancer syndromes referred to the Pediatric Oncology Branch who present with disease manifestations that lend themselves to clinical evaluation and are of unique scientific import.
Patients who are evaluated by the Pediatric Oncology Branch and are: Children with cancer (or a pre-cancer syndrome), between the age(s) of 3 months - 40 years who present with disease manifestations of special interest to Pediatric Oncology Branch investigators, because they are likely to shed led light on disease pathogenesis or the clinical behavior of the disorder. Patients between the ages of 30 and 40 years may be evaluated on this protocol if their cancer (or pre-cancer syndrome) is of specific interest to the Pediatric Oncology Branch.
The medical procedures or tests will be selected for each patient on the basis of his/her individual diagnosis (or presumed diagnosis). When clinically indicated, standard therapy will be administered and patients will be followed according to standard medical practice. Specimens may be collected for clinical care purposes only to evaluate the patient s status.
No investigational tests, drugs or therapies will be administered in this protocol.

Several years ago, an employee at an organization I worked for was terminated from his job, effective immediately. While being escorted from the facility this user picked up "his" backup media and started to leave the building. Fortunately, the security guards thought this was a little suspicious and escorted the user to the data center to ask whether this was permitted. They learned it wasn't permitted and the user challenged the company's right to confiscate of "his backup media". In this case, the company had the foresight to implement an early version of a cybersecurity management program (CMP) backed by a CEO endorsed cybersecurity policy. This program contained a simple, mostly overlooked clause in the user account agreement that assigned ownership of all data created or stored on media written on by company computers, and the media itself, to the company without reservation. Since the user had signed this user account agreement, he had given up all rights to the media and its contents. The company retained the media and the former employee was summarily escorted off premises. The backup media contained some of the company's latest designs, which he was attempting to steal. Without their CMP, the company could have been exposed to serious financial risk and potentially reputational damage. Read More »

AMP Threat Grid Integrated with Email Security
We recently announced the release of AsyncOS 9.5 for Cisco Email Security that included the integration of AMP Threat Grid. Now if Threat Grid could talk it would sound a lot like Ron Burgundy and say "I'm not sure if you know this, but I'm kind of a big deal." Email is consistently one of the top two threat vectors for malware because so many people out there still open an attachment that looks harmless from someone they don't know. We all want to think we won a cruise, but that's not how it works. It's how malware establishes a foothold on your system. AMP Threat Grid is there to make sure this doesn't happen.
Cisco acquired Threat Grid to not only bolster its suite of advanced threat solutions, but to also integrate the technology into its advanced malware protection (AMP) products. AMP Threat Grid goes far beyond traditional sandboxing, providing a host of analytical engines to evaluate potential malware. From static and dynamic analysis to various post-processing techniques, AMP Threat Grid evaluates malware to provide the most comprehensive report for even the most junior security analysts. This video provides a more comprehensive overview. Those familiar with Cisco's Email Security know we already had a sandbox built in and may ask 'Why change?' and that's exactly the question you want to ask. There are really three key reasons: Read More »

Ding! Your RAT has been delivered
This post was authored by Nick Biasini
Talos is constantly observing malicious spam campaigns delivering various different types of payloads. Common payloads include things like Dridex, Upatre, and various versions of Ransomware. One less common payload that Talos analyzes periodically are Remote Access Trojans or RATs. A recently observed spam campaign was using freeware remote access trojan DarkKomet (a.k.a DarkComet). This isn't a novel approach since threat actors have been leveraging tools like DarkKomet or Hawkeye keylogger for quite sometime.
Some interesting techniques in this campaign were used by the threat actor to bypass simplistic sandbox methods including use of sub folders, right to left override, and excessive process creation. This threat also had surprising longevity and ample variations, used over time, to help ensure the success of the attack.
What is DarkKomet?
Vulnerability Spotlight: Apple Quicktime Corrupt stbl Atom Remote Code Execution
This post was authored by Rich Johnson, William Largent, and Ryan Pentney. Earl Carter contributed to this post.
Cisco Talos, in conjunction with Apple's security advisory issued on June 30th, is disclosing the discovery of a remote code execution vulnerability within Apple Quicktime. This vulnerability was initially discovered by the Talos Vulnerability Research & Development Team and reported in accordance with responsible disclosure policies to Apple.
There is a remote code execution vulnerability in Apple Quicktime (TALOS-2015-0018/CVE-2015-3667). An attacker who can control the data inside an stbl atom in a .MOV file can cause an undersized allocation which can lead to an out-of-bounds read. An attacker can use this to create a use-after-free scenario that could lead to remote code execution.
There is a function within QuickTime (QuickTimeMPEG4!0x147f0) which is responsible for processing the data in an hdlr atom. There is a 16-byte memory region, allocated near the beginning of the function, if the hdlr subtype field in an mdia atom is set to 'vide', this reference is passed to a set of two functions.

Expiration Date:?Apr 2018
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.18 lbs (0.08 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
At a regular optical exam, I was told I had a cataract beginning in my left eye. I took 2 Bilberry/day for 2 years, and on my next exam there was no sign of cataracts! I quit the Bilbery, and 2 years later was told a cataract was starting again. Now I seem to need a bigger dose (6/day) but am hopeful the Bilberry will again win.
Apparently bilberry offers a lot of the benefits of blueberries but has some unique differences. Effects noticed after a couple of weeks of consistent use (1 to 2 capsules per day): increased resistance to colds, better adaptation to low-light conditions, almost freakish night vision, increased urination (seems to act as a diuretic). I suspect that the benefits for vision may be less apparent for those deficient in vitamin A or with sight disorders. The product also seems to have some benefit for skin and broken capillaries, though this is rather subjective at this stage of use and maybe wishful thinking on my part.

All good things sometimes end...and involve music. Here's a video of some Mission Bandalism work we did a couple weeks ago.
The Bandalism Mission from Corey Nuffer on Vimeo.
This week marks the end of an era for Mission Amy K.R. with the departure of Mark and me as official Mission Specialists. It's true. In the span of several months, posters, pranking, a F*ck It List, 6-Word Treasures, and all sorts of loveliness happened. What has impacted me most, however, is The Money Tree.
The video is nearing 300,000 views so far! Like me, I think so many people are watching it more than once and sharing it with others for many reasons. The video is really well made, the music is awesome, there's suspense -- It has all the trappings of a good story, really.

Re: Missed call blocked in response to ukfe11ado you mean secret number?
There 's a difference between a blocked call and a secret number right??
DaVBMan Sep 26, 2008 4:16 AM
Re: Missed call blocked in response to BoxskeA caller can opt to not send caller id info (thus block their number) anytime. Here in the state I just have to dial *67 then the number I want to call and it will block my number from them. If blocked, it means just that, the number was blocked from you seeing it on purpose.

It's no surprise that Alfred Lansing's 1959 book, Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, is still in print. The harsh reality of survival near the Poles continues to make gripping reading, especially from the safety of our own homes.
Don't miss these superbly written books that combine intriguing history with memorable real-life escapades.
Inspect Europe today, and you would struggle to believe that its greatest scuffles were once about anything other than bailouts and shared currency, or Eurovision and football. Yet 2015 marks the bicentennial of a battle that stands as a summation of that continent's centuries of bloody wars, particularly those of the 20th: Waterloo. Two new books take different approaches to remembering this conflict.
The abdication of Britain's King Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, to marry an American divorcee named Wallis Simpson seems to have all the trappings of a romantic legend. After all, he famously announced in December 1936 that he found it impossible to continue on the throne "without the help and support of the woman I love."
The African-American struggle continues in every corner of the nation, from small towns like Ferguson, Missouri, to the boroughs of New York. Thus, Black History Month arrives at a critical time in America. The question is: Can we learn from history? These selections shed new light on the black experience and offer perspectives on the often painful evolution of race relations in America.
With every passing day, our world seems ever more gender-neutral. Nevertheless, some topics still fit pretty comfortably into the category of the "historical purview of men," and some fine new publications have arrived to stake their claim as appropriate holiday gifts for special guys.
This fall, music keeps playing around in our heads thanks to a crop of books by and about some of rock's most elusive artists, as well as its most treasured songs.
Fifty years after the landmark passage of the Civil Rights Act, two new books capture the history of those tumultuous times. The story of the law's passage is not just about the legislative process, though its approval by Congress was anything but a foregone conclusion. It's a story about grassroots activism, unexpected allies, the clash of personalities and political posturing. It's about finally putting an end to institutional racism and beginning the slow process towards justice and reconciliation.
The past is packed with remarkable women whose achievements deserve special recognition. Just in time for Women's History Month, three new books provide in-depth looks at a few of the courageous, far-sighted women who served as early champions of change. Inspiring narratives about friendship, kinship and the quest for equality, these compelling books salute a group of winning women who were ahead of their time.
African Americans have been struggling for independence, equality and respect from the moment they were brought to the New World in chains. As that struggle continues today, it's instructive to look back on our turbulent history to learn from the past and hopefully improve on the future. The five books featured here can help us to do just that, examining historical themes that serve as milestones on the journey of progress.

The E. Roy Smith Room, named after Parry Sound's former mayor and one of the founding members of the Museum, is home to the Museum's permanent collection and tells the story of Parry Sound.
Through all the items in this gallery, you can learn about shipwrecks, the logging trade, the early days of northern life, and much more.
The Craft of Rug Making explores the different ways rugs have been created. It showcases rugs from local historian, Stephen Wohleber's personal collection. The rugs have been fashioned in a variety of techniques and display the different styles craftsmen used to create their masterpieces. When rugs were first created, they were used as floor coverings to insulate ones home. They were seen as utilitarian and were thrown out once the rug had run its course. People did not realize that they would soon become valued objects that represent a glimpse into a time that once was. From beautifully hooked rugs to those made with plastic bread bags, the Museum has it all.
A community project has also been developed in connection with The Craft of Rug Making. Throughout this exhibitions duration, the Museum will be appealing to you, the community, in hopes that you will help create a wall hanging of the Trestle Bridge through the technique of latch hooking. We will have an area setup within the Lion's Room where people can come in and take some time to contribute to this masterpiece. All the supplies will be provided and there will be instructions on how to latch hook. We encourage all people, even if you have never latch hooked before, to come out and help us complete this project. The finished product will be hung within the Museum come the New Year, so don't miss out on the chance to say you had a part in it!
Every Thursday after 4pm when you purchase an admission to the Museum get the second one free!
Print your two for one coupon here! Or mention this promotion at the front desk when purchasing your pass.

So if this is the month to see two pink lines...when you you share the news with friends and family? Of course we will tell our DH right away but i am just wondering about the extended family.
Kim, momma to 7 great children, 3 angels and our rainbow GIRL born 8/6/15!!! Blessed beyond measure!
CONGRATS Kim!!!!!
Cheryl mommy to
Matthew 10, Kayla 8, Carter 5, Lucas 4 and Isabella born 8-11-09
I tested this morning and got a faint line as well! This is pregnancy number 3 for me and I have two DS...hoping for a DD!
I have already called my best friend to tell her (she just had her 3rd) and will tell DH tonight. I have no clue when I will tell everyone else...probably not for a few weeks but with Christmas right around the corner it would be such a great time to announce it!
DS - 5 yrs
DS - 3 yrs
DS1 - February 2003 DS2 - July 2005
BABY GIRL! - Due August 28, 2009
I'll tell them at Christmas. Couple more days until we can test!
"A child is not a vessel to be filled, but a candle to be lit" Kaiti/ mommy to Sophie & Maya / VBACing #3 - a BOY! - in August '09.
I will tell DH right away which will probably be christmas if i'm lucky this month! And everyone else after atleast 10wks because in may I miscarried at 8.5.
Thats Miss Dani 2U!� Xavier 3/7/11
*Trying to get this exclusive pumping down pact*
I'll be telling everyone else besides my bestfriend and mom at about 12 weeks.
I had a miscarriage at 9 wks almost 5 years ago and it still affects when I tell.
I'll be showing pretty early, I always do. And I second the growing boobies post. My 40 D's don't stay put when I am preggo!
Congrats to the BFP girls!
Orchid, West Virginia born and raised.
Proud momma to,
Boy Wonder9.21.04
Pink Ballerina2.15.07
Itty Bitty 8.2.10
Bouncing Baby Blue due 6.18.12
this is funny, it makes me think of a gal i work with. when she was preggo, only me, our boss, and one other gal knew. We were all sworn to secrecy and she didn't tell anyone else. Eventually they fig. it out, but she was atleast 6-7 mos pregoo before they put 2 &2 together, they all just talked about her putting on the pounds and ganing weight. haha-imagine their surprise when they found out she was actually preggo.
i could never wait that long. i think we will wait about 2 mos. once we tell FIL the whole world know 2 mins later. When we told him about ds, we told him not to tell anyone (it was early, like 6 wks) and as soon as we left he was on the phone with his mother and sibblings. sigh. we will see.
♥Kaleigh ♥Proud Momma to DS Ethan (11/06)♥FPIES baby DD Cora (11/10) ♥ & Our newest addition Ms. Haven Grace (7/13)
We want to TTC#2 so hopefully all works out!
I want to annouce by telling my 3yo DS to tell gramma and papa what he is going to be (big brother). I was also thinking about the shirt Idea, or a "certificate" (im a arts n crafts type of person) to give to my parents. I will probably just blurt it out to my IL. LOL
I'm up in the air either Christmas or after we hear the heartbeat.
My family will know something is up when I'm not drinking at dinner but I've had a miscarriage in August at 10w and CP in Oct at 4w6d so at Christmas I will be just around 5 weeks (I think I ovulated on the 6th) so I'm nervous to tell but at least I'll have the repeat hcg results by then and the levels are already higher than with my CP.
Ashley's going to be a big sister! EDD 7/12/12
I'm not really sure. I'll tell DH right away of course, but everyone else I haven't decided yet.
After my losses I know that I won't feel secure with the pregnancy and really ready to tell anyone until well into the 2nd tri. Hearing the HB (even several times) and making it to 13 weeks just isn't reassuring to me anymore.
But I also dread the whole "Guess what? I was pregnant, didn't tell you, and now I'm in the middle of a MC/ectopic/needing to go in for a D&C, etc. and need your help" phone call too. Very awkward.
I'm guessing I'll tell a few very close friends (the ones who know about my fertility treatments and will be wondering) fairly soon after I get a BFP. And wait to tell our families and less close friends until I can't hide it anymore, which going by my recent pregnancies could be as soon as 8 weeks.
Dara, mom to: DD 3/22/02, DS 12/27/03, and the twins DD and DS born 7/7/09 at 31 weeks

OMG! -33C... I thought I was going to die when it was -12C in the Swiss Alps. We are definitely spoiled in California. It was 72F this afternoon...abnormally warm for this time of the year though.

Hi all,
Got all your emails. Thanks so much.
I did find the reply in my spam folder. Sorry :)
You have mail. Thanks!
Just wonder if I should get an email confirmation after sending an email to add some items to my back order? Since I haven't heard back, can I assume email is received and just wait patiently...
Thanks everyone. Too bad the cafe bag doesn't come in nylon. I look forward in receiving my dyneema synapse. Hopefully that would be the one.
Hi all,
I have been researching for bags for my upcoming trip and ended up here. Just received my first TB bag (MCB) and is eagerly waiting for my Synapse in Dyneema.
Just wondering how are...

Over the years, we've been fortunate enough to receive a lot of attention for the way we leverage automation in the data center to operate efficiently, provide a better quality of service and improve the customer experience.
When we first set out to automate our business, we weren't trying to set any records or anything like that; we were simply looking for ways to automate the work we had to do every day while building, operating and growing our company. As our capabilities advanced, we discovered that the same tools we were creating for ourselves were highly desired by our customers as well, so we created LEAP to extend to our customers the same level of automated control that our data center staff has. Overnight, it was a huge hit.
But that's not what this post is about. Not exactly. Let me take a step back for a moment.
So some people find it surprising when I go on about all of the handwork that happens behind the scenes here to ensure everything is ready to go when a customer presses the 'Deploy Now' button in LEAP or on our website. As you probably guessed, we have developed a wide range of automation tools for this work. But I thought instead of talking about that, it might be enjoyable to give you a behind the scenes look at what happens here before you push that 'Deploy Now' button. This is the work that is hidden in the background, out of sight. The people who do it are as talented as they are invisible to our users.
Here's a fairly sequential look at what happens before you deploy a server with SingleHop:
- Hardware Selection. Because, just like people, servers are what they eat, we only use name-brand top-of-the-line components. We don't cut corners to try to save a few points on pricing. We strictly use Intel, Supermicro, Western Digital, Seagate, Kingston RAM, and so on. The same is true of our networking gear, which is all Cisco.
- Inventory Forecasting. A month or two before an order comes in, we are already busy preparing for it by using our internal models to forecast the number of—and most importantly—configuration of—the servers customers will statistically deploy over the next month. This means estimating how much memory, hard drive size, how many drives per server, the model of—and number of —processors, how many with RAID configurations, and other basics. This results in hundreds of permutations of configurations, which enables customers to later find servers that precisely meet their varied needs.
- Meticulous Racking and Cable Management. Racking is an art. At SingleHop, it's a way of life. When it's time to place a batch of new servers into one of our racks, we have what we call a rack-a-thon, but you could also call it a textbook case of teamwork and precision craftsmanship. Each server is fastened in place by hand, we cut each cable to size and we document everything -- down to which APC port the server is plugged into.We also take care to keep all of the wiring in the rack nice and organized so that the server's airflow isn't obstructed by a jungle of hanging cables. That way, it's also a lot easier to work on.As we work, we exactly catalog and map the location on the rack of each server, as well as inventory its exact configuration.
- Automated Audit. After racking, we run an automated configuration and hardware diagnostics tool we created to ensure each server powers up, contains the correct amount of memory, processors, and other specified components, and that all are in good working order and ready to go. The audit scans for:
- Is the hardware installed correctly?
- Does it have the specified amount of RAM?
- How many hard drives are installed?
- Is there a RAID card?
- How many hours have the drives been in-use?
- And much, much more.
- Ready-to-Go: Into the Provisioning Pool. Once the server passes our audit it is ready to deploy and at that point it's automatically powered off to conserve resources, and assigned to what we call our "provisioning pool." At any time we have more than 1,000 servers in the provisioning pool ready to go. Servers in the provisioning pool are ready to be powered on and deployed when a customer places an order.
- Match Making. Once the 'Deploy Now' button is pushed by a customer, our automated systems activate a server with the same (or better) configuration as requested. When users specify which of our data centers they want to be serviced from, the server is activated within that location.
- Provisioning. Once the match has been made, automated deployment process begins. This includes installation of operating system and updates, user-specified applications, network configurations, firewalls, and security hardening. A second automated audit is conducted. As a final step the server goes through a quality control check by a technician. Only after this does it touch the network, and the customer is sent the server's login credentials and it becomes part of the customer's cloud infrastructure.
The great news is that what we do is exactly what any conscientious IT professional would want to do—only we do it, so they don't have to. Our exacting preparation also greatly reduces the elapsed time from the pushing of the 'Deploy Now' button, to the customer going to work with their new server.
One of the Results: Fewer Mistakes and Less Human Error
Many competitors deploy servers by hand, building each server manually, to order, in real-time. They install the operating systems by hand, configure the software by hand, and audit by hand. This introduces a lot of potential for human error. Something our process is designed to minimize. For a human being to deploy a server in the same amount of time that our automated platform can, they would have to be in a big hurry. That would exacerbate the likelihood that they make a mistake. Think about that next time you need a mission critical server deployed right away, at the last minute.
You might be wondering. How long does this take?
The entire process from when a customer pushes Deploy Now to when the welcome e-mail is sent has averaged less than 45 minutes (42 to be exact) for 2 consecutive years. Some servers are deployed as fast as 21 minutes (no control panel, standard configurations) and others take a little longer. With deployment times this fast, it sometimes is hard to forget that these are physical servers. Not VMs.
All the technologies we use were developed right here at SingleHop. Nothing was outsourced or purchased off the shelf.
What questions do you have about how data centers operate?
