Comments On May 26, 2013:I was a bit apprehensive about buying this helmet, as I've only ever worn Shark or Shoei in the past. After reading some reviews, I thought I'd give the Scorpion Exo 500 a go.
What a helmet! First of all the quality is great, and thanks to the air pump cheekpads, I got the perfect fit. This is the most comfortable helmet I have ever tried!
Light and quiet, it's a huge improvement on my last helmet. Add to this the internal drop down sun visor, and you seriously can't get better than this for the price... Very happy!!!

The press release for the band DIIV describes the sound of its debut record, Oshin, as "one part THC and two parts MDMA." The drug references make perfect sense once you experience the Brooklyn four-piece's percussive, narcotic melodies washing over you. Originally an alter-ego for frontman and songwriter Z. Cole Smith, DIIV (formerly called DIVE, before a Belgian industrial band from the early '90s with the same name came complaining) concocts a serpentine euphoria that delivers a contact high, hitting a nerve of sonic memory that runs through late-'90s shoegaze and grunge all the way back to the heyday of Creation Records.
"I initially formed DIIV as a sound idea at home, recording stuff onto my computer," Smith says of the project's genesis. "Once it gained focus, I put a band together with friends and people that I knew from hanging out who play in bands around here." Now joined by Devin Ruben Perez, former Smith Westerns drummer Colby Hewitt, and childhood friend Andrew Bailey, Smith is raking in music-blog accolades with songs like his cover of Kurt Cobain's "Bambi Slaughter" and the breakout single "How Long Have You Known," (video below) which presents a chiming, chasmal orchestration that floats in like a strand of DNA recombining early Cure records and the warm, whirling production that Captured Tracks, the LP's label, is now known for. Smith cites references including "'70s and '80s punk music, especially the Minneapolis scene in 1979 and Seattle in 1989, and a lot of German psychedelic music."
Despite these touchstones, Smith and company are adamant that it doesn't matter what led them in the direction they've gone, and if the genealogy of their sound doesn't make much sense, all the better. "I hope the band can come across as conflicted and contradictory," he says. "That's my nature. The songs are hopeful, but they're also sad and mad. I love people and I hate people. I love animals. I love my friends. Thank you to everybody. Text me."

|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
The Heists are side missions in Grand Theft Auto V.[1] There are six missions, each requiring careful preparation and execution. If you successfully complete these jobs, you can earn millions of dollars. The ability to replay these missions also exists.
These major heists typically begin with a meeting of the three protagonists: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. The player is presented with options on how to approach the proposed mission. For example, you could enter a building stealthily from the roof, or bust through the front door. The complex missions require the help of specialists. These are wheelmans, hired guns, or hackers. You have cheap and expensive options. The drawback to hiring an expert is they demand a bigger cut of the take. Once you have some clear objectives and hire the specialists you require, you must perform a series of sub-missions. These includes: stealing the vehicles being used for the job, finding a place to stash the getaway vehicle, and buying some suits and masks to wear during the heist.
Pest Control
The three protagonists are dressing as exterminators, and robbing a jewelry store.
Blitz Play
Taking down a Securicar, stealing the money, and getting rid of the cops.

I've got 3 sets that are all but adult-like haha.
One of them is a yellow 2-tier Rilakkuma bento that I stupidly had my boyfriend pay TOO much for. I was crazy for it and didn't know about less expensive alternatives at the time. With the box came a separate set of metal utensils in a case. And it came with more plastic utensils in the box. And a bag to boot.
I recently went to Ichiban Kan in san francisco and bought a cherry 2-tier bento with the utensil set and strap.
And I have a hello kitty bento from the dollar tree. :3
All are between 500ml - 530 ml.
haha that's the exact same one I have. :o
On our trip to Seattle, I picked up a Boujour Mie set for my preschool age daughter - because it has kitties on it. We use one or two of the sections of it every day for lunches.
It looks like this.
Inspired by the popularity of this thread, I've just started a new Flickr group/pool - Bento Gear! See announcement. Let's see your gear! :)
I just gave in and ordered my first "real" bentobox on Thursday. I decided on the pink Lube Sheep Putifresh box with apples on it I found for what I thought an acceptable price on ebay.. and now I'm waiting for it to come in! :) I'm really excited about it. It even comes with a very cute bag to carry it in.. I guess my boyfriend thinks now that I have serious mental problems - getting all excited about a lunch box and everything..
Besides that I'm using the good old cheap boxes from Migros, which are doing a fine job as well. But, well.. they don't have those cute phrases on that the putifresh boxes have! ^_^
Hi, am new to bento-ing for myself but have been packing food for my 5yrs old son during weekdays for his lunch for abt 2+yrs. He has a triangle shaped box and a pokemon pikachu shaped box, which is really cute.
I recently gotten myself a fish-shaped bento from a japanese restaurant here (you can see the same bento in Bento&Co) and also, very inspired by Maki's single onigiri box, I ordered the pink girlie face one for myself (from Bento&Co), which arrived last week. =) I'm now eyeing on the cool soup tumbler that's being sold in Bento&Co as well. =P Oh, did I mention I'm a stay at home mum who actually doesn't need all these cute bento boxes? heh heh
../mosaica (også fra København)
My box came in today! I was very excited when I picked the parcel up at the post office.. and surprised, because it was so small. It's amazing how neatly that box can be stacked into itself - the tiers just fit into each other, bag into the first, belt into the second, and it doesn't take much space up in my cramped kitchen. Perfect!! And it's sooo pretty.. hach. You notice the exitement, don't you? I just had to share.. ^__^
I'll be ordering this one in a few days...
Isn't it beautiful? :D
I can't wait till it arrives lol.
This is the one I've ordered for myself :D
I'm so exited to get it. I can't wait! :D lol
Isn't it pretty?
I Got a Pink lock n lock kinda style box. Then a Kitty SHaped One,that Comes With a Fork and Spoon. I'll Post Pics When I Can
I have a 2-tier pink Hello Kitty self-locking bento box with a spoon and fork, which I bought off Ebay. I thought it would be a bit small, but I fit plenty in there!!
I would like a thermal one, but I can never find any in my area, and my dad dislikes ordering online, so my purchase was a one off. I LOVE bento boxes, and there are some real cute ones on J-List. I saw an amazing Pikachu one but I'll never get to order it. lol.
anyone owns one of these??
i want to buy one...
Mine is a tiny green, white, and tan bento with Totoro on the front!
I think it was meant for a child (the chopsticks are so tiny!), so its hard to make food that fits in it, however as far as condiments go, in my travels I have found a tiny jar of ketchup that I can refill and also itty bitty bottle of hot sauce!
Since I couldn't find a real furoshiki, I just wrap the whole thing up in a peace sign bandanna. It seems to work well.
I currently have two two-tier boxes in yellow (the colour of the sun... I love summertime!!!!)
one seems to be the standard of Lube Sheep that a lot of people have, without the chopsticks I'm afraid, and the other one is Deli style... I want to order more and I keep drooling over my keyboard everytime I go on a search... when I find a job I'll reward myself with something new!!!
I just got a new bento from a friend who went to Japan. It's a pink polka dot Lube Sheep with a bear on the elastic strap. But I also got food picks! And furikake shakers and mayo containers! Sadly he couldn't find ANY thermal bentos which is what I really want for some reason.
I have just started this project. I am trying to have a baby, so I have been focusing on my nutrition more..
Anyway, I have a Mr. Bento- I don't use it much- lots of "little cups". I have a mini-bento also from zojirushi that I use frequently. It comes in a bag, so I can put a thermos in there as well.
I have the laptop lunchbox (which I use occasionally) but also have the laptop 2.0 which I like better- especially for side dishes, sauces and my vitamin supplements! I have a couple of sandwich boxes and a wrapnmat (which isn't really a "box").
So I have mostly thermal jars and sandwich boxes. Am looking to buy my first real 'bento' soon. Anyone suggest one in a larger size (am sure I will be ravenous when my pregnancy progresses!)
Oh, I forgot, I also have some "parka" glassware. They have tops like locknlocks, but the boxes are glass. I love them for setting gelatin in. I found them on sale at a Korean store for $1.95 each!
I have four boxes, but have only used two. I have a pink Hello Kitty box and a yellow "Smile Duck" box. It is so cute! It says "I love Smile Duck" on the top, has two layers and it's own matching chopsticks. The layers stay banded together with an elastic band.
The so far unuse boxes were on sale at the Disney store; A Mickey and friends red glitter one and a Pooh bear and friends yellow one. The latch broke when I brought it home, but crazy glue has made it good as new!
I found my lock n locks at Target and Ralph's. I think Ralph's is exclusive to Southern California, but you should see some at Target.
In addition to the Lock n Locks (one with four dividers and a couple small snack boxes), I have the giant Fit & Fresh, Lunch on the Go. With the Fit & Fresh I find myself using the top snack boxes and the freezer insert more than I use the actual box as it takes up so much room in my bag.
I *just* picked up two tier 350/220ml grape Putifresh (so cute) and a 2 tier Natural Lunch in beige. I've not tried them out yet, but they look to be pretty functional and a great size - not too small and not Fit & Fresh HUGE. :P
"What's your box?"
A Tupperware container that holds about 3 cups of food.
I just started doing bentos a couple weeks ago. I live hours and hours from anywhere I might be able to buy boxes in person, so have to rely on the internet. After several days of searching, I settled for the time being on 3-tiered tiffins for my wife and I (http://www.happytiffin.com/shop/Latch-Tiffins-Three-Tier-Tiffins/c11_5/p...). Using the bottom level for a main dish, top level for a few small sides, and the middle level for a refreezable ice pack has worked really well so far.
I just go a new one for about a buck at the grocery store.
It has partitions! \(^o^)/ It ain't Japanese though. TT_TT
I've been using a Classic Mr. Bento for three weeks solid. It is great for hot, cold, or room temperature food. Sometimes I use only the main (middle compartment) for food, usually rice and vegetables, or stew, and the top and bottom for ice as a quick cool method, or fruit, cheese and vegetables.
En route:
The maroon one, which reminds me of a wood bento or lacquerware, and
EDIT: The non-partitioned Sentou (round) boxes are a good size for a picnic or for serving. The partitioned box is good for individual meals.
If transporting food in them they require some sort of rubber or elastic band as the lid will not compress or latch on it's own, and they are not spill-proof even with some sort of fastening device.
Edit: I bought this Shaker box for a nice wood bento box. It's very well made with nice color throughout.
I have gotten some new boxes.. I have a Red, A Yellow and A blue. Lube sheep 2 tier boxes, a red Lube Sheep Onigiri box (which was a free gift from the site I purchased my boxes from) and a Pink, aOrange and a Blue Happy Balloon 2 tier box..and for snacks I found some Green dinosaur sandwich boxes....
Went to the Japan Centre at the weekend and got another 2 boxes and a bag from Muji. One box is an onigiri one which I'll have to be creative with and the other a gorgeous black 2 tier box.
I microwave my lunch, so I like Snapware (the glass kind) and Pyrex. I don't have issues with microwaving plastic containers, but they all warped pretty fast (I like my food HOT) and that's why I switched. The Snapware looks like Lock & Lock, but the container is glass with plastic snap lid and rubber gasket. It prevents leak better than Pyrex.
I have the onigiri box for occasions when I pack it for lunch.
I've used 2-tiered plastic container before, but it warped easily and the lid won't close anymore. I don't think it's meant to be microwavable. It's also a pain to wash all the pieces. I'm sticking to good ol' 2-piece containers.
I use lock & lock tupperware, but treated myself to the Concorde Large box in apple green - room for my food and all my snacks! I love the bag too!
I've got the blue Daiso dragonfly two tier box from Japan Centre (I wish they still stocked some online!) and I've got a Bushido unagi and meiji box on the way from casabento. I think I'm going to have to venture into london soon and raid the japan centre shop to kit up.
I have a variety of types depending on what I take for lunch.
Snapware Snap 'N Stack Lunch Box which I love (and am eating out of right now!) I got it for around $3.50 at Jewel and it was exactly what I was looking for--larger and with one section divided.
Snapware Snap 'N Serve (4 c. Rectangle) Not as useful as I'd hoped; I tend to favor my Party Box and Snap 'N Stack whenever possible.
Mini Party Box (left). Also love this one as I like to keep my food separate as much as possible. More often than not I use it with only 2 of the dividers and leave the larger portion for my entree. Also makes it really easy to pull out things that don't need reheated. Glad I got this from Mitsuwa when I did--went back a week or two later and they no longer seem to carry this size.
Also have this cute bento box. I'd always liked the more common pink version; was lucky to find someone selling a blue version for like $5 on ebay. Unfortunately, it seems so tiny to me that I've yet to get actual use out of it beyond a container I keep on my desk to hold candy, business cards and stamps...
I don't know if this is everywhere, but I found my bento in a Borders book store in Maryland. It's a nice two-tiered one that holds a total of 500ml. I haven't looked at the store near me here in Ohio, but I feel it's a good place to check if there's a Borders or a place that sells Happy Noodle products near you.
I have several boxes, but my new favorite is one of the Paperchase boxes from Borders. Unfortunately my nearest store did not have the Happy Noodle boxes (I'm determined to find one somewhere in the area this weekend!), but I did get this one: http://www.paperchase.co.uk/p/472804/lunch-box-enchantment-design.html for only $9!!!
It's quite large, about 4 cups capacity if you fill it to overflowing, which you should if you don't want things to shift like they did on me today. For any vegans or vegetarians who eat bulky and relatively low calorie foods, this one *should* hold enough for a satisfying meal. It does not have a silicone seal and is very definitely not even remotely water tight, but it might be possible to fit a very thin strip of silicone into the lid to make it so.
I personally use a tempered glass "Fridge Storage" box, it's a 1220mL square shaped box with no dividers, it's totally nuke safe and anti leak. Not to mention it only costed 9.99 hahaha. It's downside is its weight though, I really want to get a real bento box in the future, but for now I think the fridge box is just fine
I own one bento box, a two-tier Natural Lunchtime set like the one mead_chick has. It came with a bag, matching pink belt, and matching utensils. It's super cute, and since I'm only packing a lunch for myself every once in a while, it's all I really need. (that doesn't stop me from checking out cute bento boxes though!)
I have this stainless steel one from Kobo Aizawa:
I loooove it!
Well mine isn't yet here... It's waiting at a friend in Japan for shipping later this week.
But it is this one:
I'll probably order other colours as well but for now White it is. The main reason that it's been ordere from Japan is because nobody else wants to take my money. I don't want to signup for a paypal account and that's what all the other stores offer(and no paypal != credit card as they seem to advertise).
Anyway can't wait to get it.
I've ordered the Colours box - and I think eventually I'd like to get that one as well. I also have a couple of the ones with the blue box and dragonfly motif on them.
I have that huge Fit and Fresh box a couple of other people have talked about. I bought it at my local Kroger without realizing how bulky it would be. I also have a couple of lock-n-lock style glass boxes from Kroger as well, which I use quite a bit.
My one bento splurge was buying a Kokeshi bento from Bento&co, but I don't regret it one bit!
I received my first bento box last week-I'm super happy!
I bought it from J-list, and was really glad with the attenmtion and how they managed my order.
I'ts a Honkawa "Happy World" Bento Box http://www.jlist.com/product/TPP084
I've ordered my Lock and Lock boxes from both of these stores:
I have a 2-tier on the way; pink with trees and apples on it.
We now have Rosti Mepal Lunch boxes; I have the smaller white one; and my fiance has the grey large one.
I prefer boxes like lunchbots (durable, free of harmfull plastics and such), but I like cute/pink boxes.
And a picture added of what I have on the way to me;
I started making Bento a few week sago.
I have a Hanako Kokeshi Bento, http://casabento.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_54
Bento Box from Kiki's Delivery Service, http://casabento.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_46
Bento Box Urara red , http://cgi.ebay.de/Japanese-Double-Tier-Retro-Bento-Lunch-Box-Set-Red-/1...
Bento Box Kimono Sakura for Onigiri, http://cgi.ebay.de/JAPANESE-KIMONO-SAKURA-OMUSUBI-BENTO-LUNCH-BOX-2-PCS-...
and a Bento Box with BK Cat, http://cgi.ebay.de/NEW-MADE-JAPAN-BENTO-LUNCH-BOX-SET-MACHERI-BK-CAT-/38...
I have two:
My first one is a metal thermos-style container. Three containers - the bottom is a soup/hot item container that seals with a vent, the middle is a rice/warm item container with a sealing lid, and the top is a container with a snap on lid. A set of chopsticks in a little container hangs on the side. The lid to the whole thing clamps on. Stuff I put in hot in the morning stays that way until well after noon.
My second is a two-tier black bento. It says "Dear Label" on the top, which may be the brand but I'm not sure. I suspect the translation was supposed to read "Special Label" maybe? At any rate it also has what I've been told is the almost-traditional slightly mangled phrasing: "We are passionate about lunch communication" and "The lunch is a good day pastime." It has a snap on top and a compartment in the top for chopsticks. It's 8x3.5x3.5 and actually just a bit big. I love it - simple and easy to use, plenty of room for lots of little treats.
We don't have a traditional box yet... using (I know, I know) some of those rectangular chinese plastic takeout dishes. I also JUST picked up some food storage boxes at World Market because their measurements were very similar to bento box measurements, to give us a better idea on size.. it came with a 525 ml, 825 ml, and 1.2L container that nest, with happy orange tops. Can't beat $4 for 3 containers that are dishwasher/microwave safe and recyclable (#5).
I did want to share: Bento Boxes are included in Amazon.com's current 4-for-3 promotion, for anyone who wants to shop :)
I've making benots for only a few months now and I have to watch money, so I use these ziplock boxes:
The aren't pretty, but they have three compartments and are leakproof (so far).
But one day, I want to own a set of these bento boxes:
They're $44 (!) but sooo beautiful ♥
I have three. Two of them are two-tiered, the other is just a single box. One of the two-tiered ones is the blue Lube Sheep dragonfly one. The other is this one: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41GMe6BFvrL._SL500_AA300_.jpg It's 510 ml - 300 ml on top, 210 ml on bottom. The single box is 480 ml and has the same pattern as the yellow one, but it's green and it locks shut.
I bought them all from Daiso, as there's one at my mall. It was all I could do to keep it down to three when I went to buy them the other day! I'll probably end up buying more, too, to be perfectly honest. I like being able to change boxes depending on my mood. :P My blue dragonfly one is my favorite, though.
I have been thinking about getting a Zojirushi Classic Bento, but am very interested in your opinion about how bulky these are (can you just put the jar in a back-pack?). How leak-proof are these, and how break-resistent are the latches?
Any thoughts and/or comments would be much appreciated!

Hello MeanBean
Are you enquiring about the Zojirushi lunch jars?
These are a bit on the bulky side (there are smaller kinds available but they house smaller portions) but they will fit into most backpacks.
The contents can leak, generally they don't but it does happen occasionally. This isn't a problem though as the outer cannister contains any inner leaks very well. I've never ever had a problem with the contents spilling out of the outer container. It's very secure.
I've also never had a problem with the outer clasps, they're very sturdy. The biggest 'problem' is avoiding losing the chopsticks and their container. They are extremely well made.
I have been thinking about purchasing either a Zojirushi jar (the Classic Bento: http://www.zojirushi.com/products/slgre), or I found the thermos bento (here: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/all-zakka/item/dbs901w_s/), but am not sure which one to get! Since you happen to have both, I would love to hear your comments.
Is the Zojirushi too large? I would like something a little smaller for carrying purposes. I'm also not sure if the sight for the Thermos brand I linked above is legit., but I think that would be my ideal bento. Any comments on leakage of the thermos bento?

|Religious aspects
Religious practices are the collection of behaviors that religious people perform as part of the conduct of their religion. This includes the rites, rituals and worship practices they perform more specifically:
A ritual is a set of actions, often thought to have symbolic value, the performance of which is usually prescribed by a religion or by the traditions of a community by religious or political laws because of the perceived efficacy of those actions.[1][2]
A ritual may be performed at regular intervals, or on specific occasions, or at the discretion of individuals or communities. It may be performed by a single individual, by a group, or by the entire community; in arbitrary places, or in places especially reserved for it; either in public, in private, or before specific people. A ritual may be restricted to a certain subset of the community, and may enable or underscore the passage between religious or social states.
The purposes of rituals are varied; they include compliance with religious obligations or ideals, satisfaction of spiritual or emotional needs of the practitioners, strengthening of social bonds, demonstration of respect or submission, stating one's affiliation, obtaining social acceptance or approval for some event — or, sometimes, just for the pleasure of the ritual itself.
Rituals of various kinds are a feature of almost all known human societies, past or present. They include not only the various worship rites and sacraments of organized religions and cults, but also the rites of passage of certain societies, oaths of allegiance, coronations, and presidential inaugurations, marriages and funerals, school "rush" traditions and graduations, club meetings, sports events, Halloween parties, veteran parades, Christmas shopping and more. Many activities that are ostensibly performed for concrete purposes, such as jury trials, execution of criminals, and scientific symposia, are loaded with purely symbolic actions prescribed by regulations or tradition, and thus partly ritualistic in nature. Even common actions like hand-shaking and saying hello are rituals.
In any case, an essential feature of a ritual is that the actions and their symbolism are not arbitrarily chosen by the performers, nor dictated by logic or necessity, but either are prescribed and imposed upon the performers by some external source or are inherited unconsciously from social traditions.
Ritual actions
Due to their symbolic nature, there are hardly any limits to the kind of actions that may be incorporated in a ritual. The rites of past and present societies have typically involved special gestures and words, recitation of fixed texts, performance of special music, songs or dances, processions, manipulation of certain objects, use of special dresses, consumption of special food, drink, or drugs, and much more. Religious rituals have also included animal sacrifice, human sacrifice, ritual suicide, and ritual murder. Ritual lamentation -- song performed with weeping -- in many societies was regarded as required to ritually carry the departed soul to a safe afterlife (Tolbert 1990a, 1990b; Wilce 2006).
Ritual serves diverse purposes including, but not limited to:
- Worship
- Ritual purification with the aim of removing uncleanliness, which may be real or symbolic.
- Atonement
- Dedication
- Education

Lower Peaks Committee - Home
|Please be sure to contact local and national forest agencies for current closures, if any.
The Lower Peaks Committee is an entity of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club.
Our Purpose...
The group is devoted to hiking Southern California mountain peaks below 5000' in elevation. Our list currently includes 83 named summits. Many of the mountain peaks above 5000' in elevation are climbed by the Hundred Peaks Section. The Lower Peaks Committee encompasses summits below 5,000' in elevation of interest to Southern California hiking enthusiasts. We select only those peaks that are of climbing, historical or geological interest and those which present us with special panoramic views.

Bad Signals: Collected Essays on the Work of Warren Ellis
Papers are invited for the first academic collection dedicated to the work of comics writer, novelist, and pop culture commentator Warren Ellis. Ellis' renowned comics career stretches back to anthology comic Deadline, but he has also published two novels. He has written comics for Marvel and DC, as well as a number of independent publishers. He has written for well-known comics such as X-Men, Iron Man, and Hellblazer, he transformed Stormwatch into the post-Watchmen epic The Authority, as well as creating idiosyncratic work such as Transmetropolitan, Planetary, FreakAngels, and Ministry of Space. His two prose novels, Crooked Little Vein and Gun Machine, leans toward noir and were both well received. He maintains an active online presence and is well known for his cultural commentary.
We are seeking proposals for an edited volume as part of the SF Storyworlds: Critical Studies in Science Fiction series at Gylphi (series editor: Dr. Paul March-Russell). We welcome papers on any topic related to Ellis' writing which might include, but are not limited to:
Formal approaches to comics/graphic novels – case studies of specific texts - science fiction – dystopia/utopia – extropia – post/transhumanism – cyberpunk/post-cyberpunk – superheroes – the influence of pulp fiction – conspiracy theories – noir – accelerationism – steampunk – the 'British Invasion' – the city – media technologies – new media – postmodernism/post-postmodernism – contemporary gothic – blogging – online comics etc.
We welcome proposals from any discipline and theoretical perspective. Submissions are welcome from both research students and academics. We particularly welcome submissions on Ellis' lesser known comics, his prose fiction, and his non-fiction writing.
Essays should be 6,000-8,000 words. Referencing should follow the Chicago style for author-date citation. Please send a title and 300 word abstract along with your name, affiliation and 100 word professional biography in a word document to firstname.lastname@example.com by 31 January 2014. Selected authors will be notified shortly after. Please note that invitation to submit a full essay does not guarantee inclusion in the volume.
Editors Hallvard Haug (Birkbeck, University of London) and Tony Venezia (Birkbeck, University of London).

Sometimes hunters get lost despite their most careful precautions. But if they are adequately prepared, the misadventure will not last very long.
The first action the hunter must take is to stop and sit down.
The word STOP is an acronym used in survival. It means:
Stop and sit down. Keep a positive mental attitude.
Think about your surroundings. Could you find your way out, or are you going to spend the night?
Observe what is around you. Can you hear cars? Can you hear farm animals or farm machinery? Can you see radio towers or old logging roads? Can you smell smoke from a wood stove? Use your senses to find out where you are.
Plan what you do. The time of day and the weather will influence how the plan will be set in motion and what you will do first.

XO-4 Touch
From OLPC
The XO-4 Touch laptop is the latest refresh of the XO laptop. It is available in two models: XO-4 and XO-4 Touch, with the latter providing multi-touch input on the display. Like the XO-1.75, it uses an ARM processor to provide high performance with low power consumption, while keeping the industrial design and batteries of the XO-1.
XO-4 laptops will ship with a new software release based on Fedora 18, including both Sugar and GNOME software.
The XO-4 laptops will be identified by a unique set of dots on both sides of the hinge cover. XO-4 Touch units have a slightly deeper (1mm) bezel around the display.
The definitive XO-4 laptop specification is only available in PDF form ("CL4" is the model identifier in the manufacturing data for the XO-4 and XO-4 Touch hardware).
- The specs below are not authoritative, please refer to the PDF version of the spec linked above.
Physical dimensions
- Approximate dimensions: 245mm × 230mm × 30.5mm (see drawing to the right for detailed dimensions)
- Approximate weight
- with LiFePO4 battery: 1.36KG (~3lbs);
- with NiMH battery: 1.58KG (~3.48lbs);
- Configuration: Convertible laptop with pivoting, reversible muti-touch enabled display; dirt- and moisture-resistant system enclosure; no fan.
Core electronics
XO-4 is designed around the Marvell PXA2128 system on a chip.
- CPU: dual Marvell PJ4 ARM cores;
- CPU clock speed: 1 GHz (superscalar and out-of-order instruction execution);
- ARM instruction set compatible (including Thumb-2 and Wireless MMX2);
- ARMv7 architecture compatible;
- 32 KB L1 I-cache and 32 KB L1 D-cache per processor, shared 512KB L2 cache;
- The PXA2128 includes hardware video encode/decode, a Vivante GC2000 3D graphics engine, display controller, USB, SDIO, and other system interface and management functions
- Embedded Controller: ENE IO3790
- DRAM memory: 1GB or 2GB DDR3 dynamic RAM;
- Mass storage: 4 GiB or 8GiB NAND flash in an eMMC device soldered to the motherboard.
- an internal microSD card slot for repair/replacement -- requires installing the microSD slot;
- externally accessible full-size SD card slot;
- No rotating media.
- Main article: Display
- Liquid-crystal display: 7.5" dual-mode TFT display;
- Viewing area: 152.4 mm × 114.3 mm;
- Two "modes" depending on lighting conditions:
- (1) Grayscale (B&W) reflective mode: for outdoor use—sunlight-readable; primarily lit from the front by ambient light; high-resolution (200 DPI), 1200(H) × 900(V) grayscale pixels; power consumption 0.1–0.2Watts;
- (2) Color, backlight mode: for indoor use; primarily lit from behind by the LED backlight; built in sub-pixel sampling of the displayed color information results in a perceived resolution of approximately 984(H) × 738(V); power consumption 0.2–1.0Watts;
- The display-controller chip (DCON) formats data for the display. (DCON Datasheet)
- Note: web browser images are currently scaled up so that an image of very roughly [800 × 600] fills up the browser window.
The XO-4 Touch has the ability to sense/track two simultaneous touches of the display. In order to provide this functionality without degrading the performance of the display in direct sunlight, an infrared touchscreen technology from Neonode is used. This technology is also capable of sensing/tracking any stylus with a diameter larger than 8mm. To avoid damaging the surface of the display, it is recommended that the stylus have a relatively soft tip.

On XO-4, there are two different firmwares installed:
- A small bootloader written in Forth and interpreted by CForth runs on the security processor (a small ARM core in the PXA2128)
- Open Firmware runs on the main (PJ4) processor
The bootloader run by the CForth interpreter on the security processor is responsible for initializing the SoC pins and the main memory. It then loads Open Firmware into main memory and starts it executing on the main processor. This CForth bootloader then continues to execute on the security processor, processing input from the keyboard and touchpad.
Open Firmware (OFW) initializes the system peripherals, then loads the OS kernel into memory and starts executing it. OFW also includes hardware diagnostics.
- A dedicated 2 MiB SPI-interface flash ROM contains both CForth (first 128KB) and OFW;
- Hardware support is provided to prevent reprogramming of the OFW flash ROM by malicious software;
Environmental specifications
- Temperature: 0 to 50 degrees Celsius (operating); -20 to 60 degrees Celsius (non-operating)
- Humidity: UL certification planned to IP42 when closed, the unit should seal well enough that children walking to and from school need not fear rainstorms and dust;
- Maximum altitude: –15m to 3048m (14.7 to 10.1 PSIA) (operating), –15m to 12192m (14.7 to 4.4 PSIA) (non-operating);
- Shock 125g, 2ms, half-sine (operating) 200g, 2ms, half-sine (non-operating);
- Random vibration: 0.75g zero-to-peak, 10Hz to 500Hz, 0.25 oct/min sweep rate (operating); 1.5g zero-to-peak, 10Hz to 500Hz, 0.5 oct/min sweep rate (nonoperating);
- 2-3mm plastic walls (1.3mm is typical for most systems).
Regulatory requirements
- The usual US and EU EMI/EMC (electromagnetic-interference and electromagnetic-compatibility) requirements;
- The laptop meets IEC 60950-1, EN 60950-1, and CSA/UL 60950-1 (safety) specifications. It also complies with UL 1310 and UL 498. In order to guarantee the safety of children using the laptop, it passes ASTM F 963 (Standard Consumer Safety Specification on Toy Safety, 2003 edition);
- The external power adapter complies with IEC, EN, and CSA/UL 60950-1;
- The removable battery pack complies with IEC, EN, and CSA/UL 60950-1 and UL 2054;
- RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive – EU) compliant.
Block Diagram
There are three distinct pieces of software on the XO-4:
- Operating System and user interface, (see #Upgrading_Linux below),
- Open Firmware (OFW), (see #Upgrading_OFW below),
- Embedded controller (EC) firmware, (see #Upgrading_OFW below).
Open Firmware automatically upgrades the EC firmware at boot time, if the installed version is older than the version included in Open Firmware. The laptop must have both a charged battery and external power supplied at boot time for this to happen.
As usual, the operating system image automatically upgrades Open Firmware if necessary.
Upgrading OFW
XO-4 laptops use Q7yxx firmware releases. These will not work on an XO-1, XO-1.5, or XO-1.75. The current firmware release for XO-4 can be found at Firmware#XO-4.
To upgrade the version of Open Firmware, place a recent release of the Q7XYY firmware onto an SD device, and place it in the external SD slot, or on a USB drive.
Interrupt the Open Firmware (OFW) boot process by pressing the ESC key.
flash ext:\q7XYY.rom
Or for a USB drive:
flash u:\q7XYY.rom
The laptop will automatically reboot.
If you need to do this to a bare motherboard, you can use the flash! command which skips the tests for two sources of power.
If the version of OFW installed on the laptop isn't working, you might be able to upgrade it using CForth or using JTAG.
Upgrading EC
This is now done automatically by Open Firmware.
However, if you need to do it manually ... download the latest EC code from: http://dev.laptop.org/pub/ec/. It should be prefixed by "cl4" (e.g. cl4-7.0.2.02.img). Place this file on a USB drive or SD card, and insert it into the laptop being reprogrammed.
From Open Firmware, type:
flash-ec u:\your_filename.img
If you need to do this to a bare motherboard, you can use the flash-ec! command which skips the tests for two sources of power.
Upgrading Linux
Linux images for the XO-4 are not currently available in a sane location.
Installing from Open Firmware using USB
You will need the .zd version of the OS image. Download it, then:
- Place the image on a USB stick, and insert it into any of the XO-4 laptop's USB ports.
- Get the Ok prompt,
- Install onto the internal SD card, by typing:
fs-update u:\21022xx2.zd
Installing from Open Firmware using SD card
You will need the .zd version of the OS image. Download it, then:
- Place the image on an SD card, and insert it into the XO-4 laptop's external SD slot.
- Get the Ok prompt,
- Install onto the internal SD card, by typing:
fs-update ext:\21022xx2.zd
Installing from Linux using an earlier XO
To install on an XO-1.5/1.75, boot the XO to Linux, insert the SD card in the XO's external slot, then:
zcat os19.img.gz > /dev/mmcblk1
... and then power down, remove the SD card, and insert it in the XO-4.
Installing from Open Firmware using an earlier XO
You will need the .zd version of the OS image. Download it, then:
- Place the image on a USB stick, and insert it into the XO laptop's USB port.
- Get the Ok prompt,
- To install onto the external SD card, type:
devalias fsdisk ext:0 fs-update u:\os41.zd
... and then power down, remove the SD card, and insert it in the XO-4.
Software Restrictions
See Trac.

Serial Adapter
For firmware, operating system and kernel debugging a serial adapter is required. We are using our third generation serial adapter with the XO-4, which has 3.3V serial on the target side, and a USB B socket on the host side.
To use the serial port, disassemble the laptop (instructions) and connect the serial adapter to the motherboard at the point shown. The heat spreader does not have to be removed.


text: That sounds like what they are supposed to do to me. If you have a square and want a shadowy outline around it on the outside you can use an outer glow. If you want it on the inside you use an inner glow. You might try applying the effect to either layer to see if you get what you want. Drop shadows create a more precise shadow that can be moved away from the object you are shadowing. I would use it more to place shadows from an object up high or a more complex shape, like say if you were looking at an airplane from above, but wanted to place its shadow some distance away on the ground to show the direction of the light. Drop shadows show light directionality and shape where as a glow will just create a general fuzzy outline around what you are shading. The picture you posted looks like what should happen when applying an inner glow on the floor layer or an outer glow on the wall layer.

Early life
Dugald McPhail was born on an unknown date, no later than 1847,[3] somewhere in the British Isles; to at least one magical parent. His surname suggests he was from Scotland, or had Scottish ancestry.
In his youth, he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was Sorted into Hufflepuff.[2]
As Minister for Magic
McPhail was appointed Minister for Magic sometime after leaving Hogwarts,[2] seemingly between Evangeline Orpington, in office from 1849 to 1855,[2] and Faris "Spout-Hole" Spavin, in office from 1865 to 1903.[4]
During his time as Minister, McPhail came up with the idea of mimicking the then-new Muggle bus service to provide underage and infirm witches and wizards with a discreet method of transportation, leading to the introduction of the Knight Bus in 1865.[2]
His overall term in office was viewed as "successful" by Gabriel Truman in the 1990s.[2]
On 1 September, 1991, Prefect Gabriel Truman welcomed the Hufflepuff first years to Hufflepuff Basement with a short speech in which he mentioned former Minister Dugald McPhail as one of the many notable Hogwarts students who were Sorted, like them, into Hufflepuff.[2]
Behind the scenes
- This character shares his name with the historical figure D(o)ugald McPhail (1840—1941). Born in Iverary, Argyll, Scotland, the real-life McPhail immigrated to KwaZulu-Natal and was one of the original founders of the town of Dundee in KwaZulu-Natal. McPhail served as a Quartermaster for the Buffalo Border Guard during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. He later fought for the British in the Second Boer War (1899-1902). He died at the age of 101, in 1941.[5]

Notes and references
- ↑ According to Pottermore, Nobby Leach (Minister for Magic between 1962 and 1968) was the first Muggle-born wizard ever to be appointed to the office)

- ↑ In order to have been appointed Minister for Magic by 1865, McPhail would have had to be out of Hogwarts and thus at least 17 at that point, placing his earliest birth year in 1847 — although it is unlikely someone that young would become Minister for Magic.

Reviving the art of the enamel miniaturist
After several years of research within the Manufacture, the watchmaker Miklos Merczel rediscovered the ancestral skill of miniature painting in enamel. He created a workshop dedicated to this art, where he began by reproducing the Art Nouveau paintings of Alfonse Mucha on the backs of Reverso watches. Today this workshop is home to three miniaturists on enamel. Each reproduction of a painting demands exceptional manual dexterity, perfect knowledge of pigments and over 80 hours of total concentration.

Al ocal funeral home has something special planned for the day before the 11th anniversary of 9/11. (WRDW-TV / Aug. 27, 2012)
The service is free of charge, but those who are interested should call ahead to register. They need to make an appointment for Sept. 10, and to do so, they can call Shellhouse at (803) 642-3456.
News 12 at First at Five / Monday, Aug. 27, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- This September will mark the eleventh anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
"I remember watching the coverage on the television. I really couldn't believe what was happening. I know a lot of folks after that wanted to join the military and the armed forces just so they could help the country fight against the evil we were facing at the time," said Jason B. Hucks, funeral director at the Shellhouse Rivers Funeral Home in Aiken.
The day before this Sept. 11, Hucks' funeral home will do something special.
"Well, we really want to let the families reach out to those servicemen and women that are serving out of the area," he said.
Hucks says on Sept. 10, family of service members can come to the Pine Log Road location of Shellhouse and record a special message to their loved ones stationed across the country or even serving overseas.
"We just want to give them a chance to see what they've got back here at home, what they fighting for, and just kind of get them over the hump and give them a reason to come on back home," Hucks said.
Shellhouse helped stream the funerals of Master Public Safety Officer Scott Richardson and Master Cpl. Sandy Rogers live over the Web. Now, Hucks says they hope to do more with this live technology. His first big project will be this one.
"And we're not limiting it to any particular number of family members. You can bring in as many as you'd like, and they can all sit down and, you know, send a personal message to that person," Hucks added.
He says it's like having a professional studio at your command. When a family records their video message, their soldier can watch it live or they can send him or her a link to it instead.
"Tell the person that's not here how much you love them," Hucks said.
Hucks says he doesn't know any other places offering a service like this around here, and he says if it's successful, he'll probably do it again during the holidays.
The service is free of charge, but those who are interested should call ahead to register. They need to make an appointment for Sept. 10, and to do so, they can call Shellhouse at (803) 642-3456.

In one of the shortest press conferences I've ever attended, Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez said he wasn't going anywhere because "the truth is on my side."
My question, whose truth? But I digress.
Here are some of the mayor's more telling statements :
"Let me be clear: I will not resign.
"I am confident that I will be acquitted of all charges and my reputation restored."
"I will continue to serve the citizens of Hartford as their mayor and continue to make Hartford a better place for all of us."
That's just it Jefe -- neither you nor the bribery charges tainting the city are making Hartford a better place for anyone.
City employees are being strong armed to give back -- and then give back some more.
Residents are being bled dry by outlandish taxes for fewer services.
And yet the city's tone deaf mayor gives his outgoing BFF Matt Hennessy a fat bonus (If you really want to throw up, check out who else got these bonuses.) while the city continues to fall apart:
Don't believe it? Then take a look around:
Fewer and fewer people to maintain the streets.
The schools.
The parks.
The city that El Jefe keeps insisting isn't suffering under the cloud of his misdeeds.
The mayor and his lawyers keep saying the mounting charges are much ado about nothing. (And so far, our less than impressive leadership is buying it -- or more likely too afraid to call them on it.)
"Rumors," Eddie called the charges tonight.
"One-sided stories."
Just a counter-top, right?
Not even close people.
But what's it going to take for someone to say enough is enough?
Or to put it more bluntly, when is someone in city leadership going to call bull - - - -?

text: Home Culture Fatal Police Shooting: Protests Continue Twenty-four people were arrested in the second major clash between Anaheim, Calif., police and demonstrators since an officer shot dead an apparently unarmed man over the weekend. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: July 25 2012 11:28 AM 0 Twenty-five-year-old Manuel Angel Diaz was shot and killed on Saturday afternoon as he ran away from police officers in Anaheim, Calif. A police spokesman said that the officers approached Diaz because he and two other men were standing near a car in an alley, an activity they considered suspicious, the New York Times reports. But since then, Mayor Tom Tait has called for a state and federal review of the shooting, and for the past four days, demonstrators have been protesting the shooting of the apparently unarmed man -- the eighth officer-involved shooting in the city this year. The San Jose Mercury News reports that 24 people were arrested last night, and early this morning as many as 500 demonstrators and 250 police officers from several Orange County cities faced off in seven hours of confrontations that ended around 2 a.m.: The clashes followed a City Council meeting Tuesday in which city leaders voted to ask the U.S. attorney's office to investigate weekend officer-involved shootings that killed two men and prompted a $50 million civil-rights lawsuit. The council chambers were packed with people and about 100 protesters were unable to get inside, Dunn said. They chanted and held a peaceful rally outside. But the crowd swelled and when some people pushed on the windows, police came out and pushed them back, Dunn said. Demonstrators marched to police headquarters and back to City Hall, but violence didn't erupt until around 6:30 p.m. when police detained a demonstrator who reportedly had a gun, Dunn said. It turned out the man did not have a weapon, but some in the crowd began throwing rocks at officers, Dunn said. It was the fourth day of violence in the wake of two deadly officer-involved shootings. The family of Manuel Diaz sued the city and the Police Department on Tuesday, claiming he was shot and killed Saturday while running away, lawyer James Rumm said. The family is seeking $50 million in damages. Read more at the New York Times and the San Jose Mercury News. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

The Coast Guard says that two people were medevaced Saturday from a boat that became grounded off the Intercoastal Waterway in Morehead City.
Officials say that a person on board contacted Coast Guard Sector North Carolina watchstanders around 9:30 a.m. saying their 34-foot boat ran aground near Spooner's Creek with four people onboard. That person reported one man suffered an injury to the head and another, an injury to their back.
The Coast Guard, SeaTow and TowBoat U.S. responded to the scene. The two injured were removed by the Coast Guard and transferred to the Morehead City Fire Department crew at Spooner's Creek Marina, who then took them to Carteret General Hospital.
A TowBoat U.S. crew salvaged the grounded boat.

Wayne County lawmen say a man who was released from prison four months ago killed his sister and wounded his father in a shooting this morning in Fremont.
Deputies tells WITN News that the shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. at a house on Jasmine Lane and they believe it was domestic related.
Dead is 19-year-old Cquashanda Mitchell, while 56-year-old Robert Mitchell was wounded. The man was transported to Wayne Memorial Hospital, while the girl died at the scene.
Deputies say Rico Mitchell is in custody for the shooting and they are not looking for any other suspects. Major Tom Effler says the 22-year-old Mitchell was charged with murder and attempted murder. He is being held without bond.
Effler says the suspect was not living at the home when the shooting happened. He says both victims were shot multiple times and the father has been transferred to Pitt County Memorial Hospital. At last check he was in fair condition at P.C.M.H.
Effler says an 11-year-old sister and a 22-year-old brother were also in the home at the time and they were not injured.
Department of Correction records say Mitchell served time for communicating threats, simple assault and wanton injury to person/property. He was released from prison March 3rd.

Mushroom Methi Malai...!!!Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Gravy dishes, Mushroom Dishes
In Goa rainy season is going on now...and its the end of the wild natural mushroom also:-((...This mushroom start growing in july and grow till august end....I love this mushrooms a lot, they are very very yummy:-))....These mushrooms grow in forests and people pluck them and sell them.These mushrooms have lot of demand in Goan market..I have put a pic of this wild mushrooms below for those who do not know much about them...This year also i enjoyed lot of this wild mushrooms...i made the usual goan dishes with them which i have already posted last year,and when i had lot of them still remaining i decided to try something new and different with them...Finally i decided to make a fusion of a punjabi gravy and this mushrooms and "Mushroom Methi Malai" came to birth and it turned out very well:-))...the flavour of this mushrooms combined very well with that of methi leaves....
Last year i had posted some tasty dishes with this wild mushrooms. I have given the links below for those who missed it.
Goan Natural Wild Mushrooms
- 50 medium sized fresh wild mushrooms
- 2 cups packed of fresh fenugreek leaves(methi)
- 1 1/2 cup fresh cream( i used low fat)
- 3 cups skimmed milk
- 1/2 cup cashewnuts
- 1/2 cup charmagaz (dried melon seeds)
- 1 big onion
- 2-3 green chillis
- 1" ginger
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tea spoon poppy seeds(khus khus)
- 4 cloves
- 4 green cardamoms
- 4-5 peppercorns
- 3/4 tea spoon fennel seeds
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1-2 tea spoon sugar
- pinch of fresh nutmeg powder
- 1/2 tea spoon garam masala
- 3-4 table spoons of butter(low fat prefered)
- 2 table spoons of kasoori methi
- oil/ghee
- salt
Soak cashewnuts and charmagaz in little water for 2 hours.Similarly soak poppy seeds , cardomomss,cinnamon,cloves,peppercorns and fennel seeds in little water for 2 hours.
This wild mushrooms has lot of mud as you can see it on the above pic on them so they have to be washed very well so that all the mud goes. The best method to wash them is soak them in water for 15 mins and then rub each one of them gently with a muslin cloth, all the mud on them gets absorbed by the cloth.After washing them chop them in 2 pieces and keep.
After the soaking time is complete we need to make the white paste.Take small grinder and in it add all soaked spices, cashewnuts, charmagaz,chopped onion, green chillis , garlic cloves and ginger pieces in it and grind using water used to soak them .Grind it to fine thick paste, do not use much water.

Four months after it was damaged in a bovine tipping, the Pirate cow is back on ECU's campus and it's sturdier than ever.
The fiberglass six-foot high cow first showed up on campus last fall. It was tipped over while grazing in front of the Rivers Building, so the university attached its hooves into concrete footers.
Then in mid-November, the cow was tipped over again, this time the vandalism broke off the hooves.
Since then, the 125-pound cow has been hidden away, awaiting its return to campus.
Now, the cow is firmly attached to a concrete pad. The university the repairs and new pad cost them $1,650.
The sign around its neck reminds people the cow is made of fiberglass, and will break if people sit or lean against it.
Originally, the cow was donated by Wells Fargo after a fundraising event for North Carolina Children's Hospital in Chapel Hill.
