The new year is the most common time to look back, reflect on past mistakes or opportunities, and try to improve upon a year whether it was truly great or truly awful. The resolutions range from great to small, and yarn crafters are not immune to examining their hobby and trying to adjust their outlook for the new year. When asked, some Chicago knitters were downright candid when it came to answering the question, "What are your knitting New Years resolutions?"
Knitters, a generally social group by nature, share their resolutions with each other in many different ways. Conversation in the knitting group inspires others to improve upon their own knitting or organization, but in the age of social media, some knitters share their resolutions in public forums such as on their facebook page or in their Ravelry group. Every year, the Chicago Knitters Unite group on Ravelry.com starts a forum thread dedicating to following up on previous resolutions and declaring the coming year's goals as well. While the group is limited to only crafters who have an account with Ravelry (new members can sign up here for free), members of Ravelry can peruse the group and get inspired for their own resolutions.
Socks are always a knitted object that creep into a knitter's New Years resolution. Becky from Des Plaines shares that she wants to try socks in the coming year, and Mariola from Des Plaines wants to finish the three pairs of socks she currently has on the needles. Galewood resident Karen Stelling, however, feels differently. She took a beginning sock class during 2013 and states, "I resolve to not only work on but complete three projects, switching up as the spirit moves me. But no socks!"
Stash organization and reconfiguration is also a popular resolution at the beginning of the year. Knitters tend to engage in a smaller version of spring cleaning with their yarn and needles. Chicagoan Karen Boykin would like to write more patterns for both knitting and crochet in the coming year, and she would also like to resume knitting socks. "Too much yarn!" she says. A knitter who identifies herself as Vocabulous on Ravelry wants to continue "stashing down," or using previously-purchased yarn to make items instead of buying new yarn. Another Ravelry user, who identifies herself as JoyofSaturn, wants to inventory her yarn stash and her needles.
Stashing down is not just for un-knitted yarn. Meghan Rock, an illustrator and knitting instructor from Oak Park, states that she wants to "re-home sweaters I don't have room for and don't wear." Sometimes, it is the process and not the finished project that matters, so knitters may accumulate more projects than they would ever need. Katie Jacob, a Chicago therapist, feels the same way. Her resolution? "To revel in, rather than feel guilty about, my stash. To enjoy the knit, rather than pressure through to the product."
Finally, knitters just want to generally reel it in. As a knitter, it is easy to start a project, enjoy it, and then start another one before finishing the previous one. Knitters all over Chicago have shared that finishing unfinished projects is at the top of their resolutions list. Mariola states, "My usual resolution is to finish SOME of the unfinished projects." Kori from Chicago wants to finish all of her lace "WIPs," or works in progress. A Ravelry user who identifies herself as drawclose wants to finish two projects before starting one project.
No matter what your resolution, know that as a knitter, you are not alone in either your addiction to yarn or your desire to learn something new. Happy New Year, and cast on anew.

I currently only have wired internet via a cable modem connected to an Airlink 101 ASW105 switch. It works fine for my wife's mac. However, my laptop does not connect; I've tried connecting via eth0 and tried creating a new wired connection- but both fail to connect.
It's not a hardware problem with my cables or the network hardware, as my wife's machine has been used to test all cables and ports etc, other than that of my laptop.
So, how can I go about connecting to this network via commands on the terminal?
If you need more information please fire away.

Water management in Indonesia: lessons from Australia
Author: Erick Hansnata, University of Canberra
Environmental improvement is one of the key priorities of Indonesia's latest National Medium Term Development Plan. The government has recently begun work to revitalise its 13 main river basins, which are categorised as heavily polluted.
However, the country continues to struggle to ensure access and quality of water. Institutional failure, arising from a lack of coordination between stakeholders, appears to be the main reason for this.
Indonesia's problems with water management fall into two categories.
First, at the micro level, the country continues to struggle with ensuring access to and quality of water. The 2010 National Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) found that a high proportion of Indonesian households (32.5 per cent) rely on low-quality drinking water. Surprisingly, 83 per cent of good-quality drinking water in urban areas, and 62 per cent in rural areas, comes from commercial packaged water. This 'commercialisation' of drinking water adds to household spending and worsens conditions for the poor, who already spend two-thirds of their income on food.
Second, deterioration of river basins has occurred continuously for more than four decades. In 1970, there were already 22 critical river basins, which increased to 60 in 1999. A 2008 water quality survey conducted by the Ministry of Environment found that the majority of main rivers in Indonesia fall into the heavily polluted category, including iconic rivers such as the Musi River in South Sumatera, Mahakam River in East Kalimantan and Citarum River in West Java.
This indicates that extending pipe networks to improve water accessibility will not solve Indonesia's water security problems in the absence of a comprehensive plan to revitalise its degraded river basins.
One solution would be for Indonesia to adopt Australia's approach. Australia's drought in the first decade of this millennium (the longest in its history) had a severe impact on communities, businesses and the environment, particularly on the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB). The MDB is a critical river system that waters approximately 40 per cent of Australia's total agricultural production. Seventeen per cent of the Australian population (3.4 million people) also live within and around the basin and rely directly on its water.
Although Australia has a long history of regulating its rivers, the drought raised awareness of the need for long-term water security. The federal government passed the Water Act 2007, and in conjunction with the Water Amendment Act 2008 established the (MDBA) to manage water in the Basin. The legislation gives MDBA the authority to implement the Basin Plan started in 2012, which aims to manage water allocation and ensure that sufficient water is allocated to the environment. The government also provides compensation through infrastructure and financial assistance to make up for the negative economic impact of the Basin Plan. Despite the existence of certain contradictions at the implementation stage such as the social benefit from ecological improvements may be not maximise, the Basin Plan and institutional change has resulted in innovations such water modelling and increased agricultural productivity with less water use.
If Indonesia were to adopt Australia's approach to cope with its water security problems, the initial stage would be to establish a single institution consisting of related departments, communities, businesses and experts who have an interest in water sustainability. The next step would be to form a comprehensive plan which involves all interest groups. To maximise the effectiveness of the plan, the institution should also have the authority to intervene to prevent land exploitation that could restrict water infiltration.

While there are obviously lessons for others from Australia's water management, my reading of this post seems to indicate there are enormous differences between the situations in water issues/problems between Indonesia and Australia. Australia's could be characterised by lack of natural rains and hence rainwater due to dry and possibly worsening climate. Indonesia's, on the other hand, seems to be worsening water pollution as opposed to lack of rainwater.
Such fundamental differences between Indonesia and Australia in water issues have their inherent implications for policy solutions.
Indonesia, for example, could adopt localised and river based approach to tackle the pollution issues in a river that does not necessarily need a centralised body to oversee it.
Currently, lead by National Development Agency, and help by consultant from Waspola Facility and the other, Through National Water Supply and Environmental Sanitation Working Group (POKJA AMPL Nasional) since 2012 they trying to develop Indonesia's Water Safety Plan version that derived from WHO. This study still on progress.

We arrived, no staff was waiting for us (around 6pm, not late at night). They left a note telling us to call a number. Lucky I had a phone with internet, or it would have been impossible. Called and they explained where the keys were (not very safe). Btw, forced the door and it opened, locks not that strong... Anyway, we were told the recep would come at 10pm. We went to dinner and returned to the hostel to wait for the recep but she never came! The lights went down whenever we turned heat on :(
We are very sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at Oh Casa and we apologize that there has been a complete lack of communication from our side. The receptionist fall sick and had to go to the hospital and we had difficulties to meet our clients that day. However please be assured that this is not our usual behaviour and we are there for our clients making sure they have an excellent stay. We hope you'll give us a second chance by visiting us again. We would love to host you to show that you should have a great experience with us. Best regards, The Oh Casa Team

You know music has power when it has you shivering while running in hundred-degree heat.
Güngör's Ghosts Upon the Earth is like that, though. From the opening track, the album screams its willingness to be and do something terribly different from most Christian music of the last quarter century. For one thing, this is an album, not just a collection of songs. For another, the musical skill on display here combines with a willingness to forge a new sound, rather than retread the same old pop-rock milieu one more time.
Musical and lyrical unity in an album is a rarity today in any genre, but this album tells a story. Indeed, it tells the story.
But back to those shivers. "Let There Be" is the first and only time to date that any piece of art in any medium has struck me with the same force and intensity as Tolkien's glorious description of creation in The Silmarillion. One suspects, given some of the commonalities between the two, that Güngör is familiar with "Ainulindalë", Tolkien's magnificent chapter of sung creation and sung rebellion and sung divine triumph.
Ghosts Upon the Earth sweeps from this divine moment of joyous creation through an idyllic, Edenic revel in the delight of yet unbroken fellowship with God before plunging through the Fall and into the longing that pierces every heart in this age. But the hope of resurrection comes soon in the proclamation that "when death dies / all things live", and this theme of hope then undergirds the painful journey that follows. Every joy that follows in this album is tinged with sorrow, but every moment of despair gives way eventually to hope. Again: this is a journey. It is beautiful and broken.
Güngör's first album, Beautiful Things, had musical interest in spades but sometimes at the cost of musical intelligibility. Much of the album - the titular track the main exception - required repeated listens before I could "get" it, and the recording never entered my regular listening. It was, like many classical pieces I have studied, interesting but not consistently engaging. Here, the band has achieved something remarkable: they have kept the same musical interest and complexity, but in such a way that every song on the album is engaging. You can sing this stuff with them, but you can also dig deep, deep down into the musical guts and find there remains yet more to plumb. That's hard to pull off.
If you take a look at Güngör's blog, you'll note that Michael Güngör has criticized the typical evangelical approach to art, and rightly so. This album isn't just a piece of music; it's a salvo in a war against a reductionist understanding of art that typifies so much of evangelicalism. If it has become something of a cliché to attack the evangelical approach to art, there nonetheless remains a need for pieces to fill the gap, and there remains too the need to educate.
One reviewer on iTunes noted that the album confused him. It is not, he noted, a typical worship album, and the lyrics were not all perfectly suitable for use in evangelism. You could not, he suggested, just hand this to an unbeliever and expect them to come away understanding the gospel perfectly. The reviewer seemed particularly confused by the second track, "Brother Moon," with its references to "Brother Moon" and "Sister Sun" and "Mother Earth." I was bemused by his concern. Every reference to nature points right back to the Creator behind it all. More, the song is an innocent, Edenic revelry in the delight in unbroken fellowship with God and in all his hands have made. In the end, the album is as gospel-saturated as one could wish. But this was too much lyrical and intellectual complexity for someone looking for an evangelistic tract in the form of an album.

Ladies - Recommend shapewear! Are Spanx worth it?Posted on 08/14/09, 02:52 am
Looking to buy some shapewear (really just to smooth out the bumpy look, even if just a little!) I have a few formal dresses I will be wearing in November and I want to get a good "girdle" underneath. Any recommendations?
Reply #1 08/14/09 12:53pm
try the kymora (sp?) i just recently got one and really like it. the only problem is if you are big busted the strap does not really lie flat. ps i got mine at carol wright for 39.00 for the top and the bottoms were free. lyne
Reply #2 08/18/09 10:07am
I have seen that one advertised on television, the Kymora... haven't tried it though. I have tried Spanx, and in my opinion, they're not worth the money. Mine never stayed in place and it didn't really smooth and pull things in like I thought it would. Of course, maybe that's because I carry so much of my weight in my midsection. Hope you find something that works, wish I could be of more help.
So what events do you have coming up?
Reply #3 09/12/09 5:38am
Nah, I think we passed the Spanx potential a long time ago... we need industrial strength Spanx... I am picturing full body scuba diving wet suit style body smoothers available in white, beige, and black... the fabric will be so strong and smoothing, governments will run tests to see if this undergarment can be worn as thin body armor capable of withstanding extreme conditions or deflecting bullets. The only drawback is assistance will be required to get them on, but unemployment rates will drop as people seek high paying jobs as personal assistants and bathroom attendants.
Sorry, I am just in a goofy mood today with an overactive imagination.
Reply #4 12/26/09 2:36pm
Mars, you are funny!!! I think we need that too (or I do, anyway).
AnywayI know I made this post months ago, but I wanted to update you all.
I went on a cruise at the end of November and we had 2 formal nights, that's why I needed the Spanx.
I bought Spanx as well as.... Dr. Reys (I think it's called? From Sears - ended up returning it after spending quite a bit of time comparing the two). The Spanx was better, by far (SlimCognito type, for anyone interested). I didn't spend the full $76 on it (yes, 76 bucks from Lane Bryant!!) I bought it during a time LB had a coupon that said "25 dollars off your purchase of 50 or more" (NO LIMITATIONS AT ALL). So I used it on that. Brought my total to 50 or so dollars. I knew exactly what I wanted. They didn't have it in the store, they had to special order it and it was sent directly to my house.
I really like it. It doesn't do what I want it to do exactly (picture "hour glass figure shaping") but it does tuck in and smooth. The main thing is smoothing all the bulges. It does a good job of this. It made my one dress go from *NOT* zipping up, to zipping up with no problems!! I've used the Spanx 4 times now and it still shows no sign of wear.... so it's durable.
Sooo.... yeah. Just thought I would update!!

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
by Gregory Maguire
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West Volume 3, Part 2 Summary
How It All Goes Down
- Elphaba doesn't hold out for very long; Fiyero is back over at her apartment in a few days.
- They gossip about old friends.
- Boq married Milla and they live in Munchkinland. She is miserable there and keeps threatening to kill herself.
- Those two need their own HBO show.
- Crope runs around with other artsy people and Tibbett has suffered some sort of mental breakdown after the incident at the Philosophy Club.
- Avaric is wealthy and successful, naturally.
- Fiyero plans what he'll wear to their next dinner and reveals that he's developing a bit of a thing for Elphaba. Fans of the musical can rejoice and insert their favorite Elphaba/Fiyero ballad here.

November has been crazy. The pace is really picking up in a lot of my classes. My GIS Theory and Application class has required a lot of my time lately. We currently have learned how to compile many different types of maps and are using very advanced software to make maps based on world population density, state highways, and change in the Mississippi River landscape.
In freshwater ecology lab we classified macroinvertebrates, and it demanded a lot of time and close attention to detail, but it was fascinating to see the diversity of these organisms. For the class we have to key out several invertebrates down to genera as our final project, so for the next three lab periods I believe we will be keying out macroinvertebrates.
Two weeks ago I led a hike for Outdoor Leadership to a location deep in the bluffs of Winona to explore the sandstone caves, and on Friday Outdoor Leadership took a trip to southeast Minnesota to go birding with Father Beerman, who is an expert birder! We looked at swans, hooded mergansers, wood ducks, canvas backs, and a ton more.

The Park City Planning Commission on Wednesday toured a portion of the City Hall-owned land in Round Valley that the municipal government wants to annex into the city limits.
Thomas Eddington, the planning director, explains the acreage to Planning Commissioner Steve Joyce as other members of the panel and staffers take in the grassland scene.
The overall annexation request involves 1,368 acres of land. Of that total, 1,304 acres are owned by the municipal government. The rest of the land is under the ownership of the Utah Department of Transportation or the Osguthorpe family.
Nearly all of the land is proposed to be brought into the city limits under some category of conservation zoning. Four acres of the City Hall land is proposed for a zoning category known as light industrial. That would allow the Park City Public Works Department to store snow at the site that is hauled out of neighborhoods, as an example.
The Planning Commission was not scheduled to address the annexation request at a meeting later on Wednesday. Members of the Planning Commission will eventually recommend whether City Hall should annex the land. The Park City Council will consider the recommendation as it makes the ultimate decision.
City Hall over the years has purchased expanses of Round Valley in conservation deals in an effort to check development. Round Valley has become a popular recreation spot offering hiking and bicycling in the summer and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter.

(a) don't they know a dolphin is a mammal, not a fish?
(b) what's with the spelling? ('hav-in tonite!')
(c) where in the heck did they get a hook that big?
(d) catching dolphin is morally reprehensible (poor Flipper!)
I guess it is the south, and we can cut them some slack.

Today's Torah Commentary from Exodus 22:4 – 26
The Second Book of the Torah, "Shemot," "Names."
This weeks reading is "Mishpatim," "Judgments."
Today we continue reading the "rest of the commandments."
GOD continues with HIS instructions concerning judgments over the day to day living of HIS people.
HIS judgements here are concerning restitution between people in cases of negligence.
HE starts with loose livestock grazing in another's fields and the restitution from the best of the owners fields.
The judgment of fire's that get out of control, responsibility of one holding, or watching articles of another.
In every case of dishonesty, the courts must declare guilt, then restitution is made in double back to the injured party.
In cases of livestock being tended to by another, as well as the harm done to articles borrowed, and even leased.
If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed, he must pay the dowry to her father, regardless of marriage, which is determined also by her father.
HE also instructs us to, "not allow a sorceress to live."
HE then continues with matters of 'beastiality,' sacrificing to other gods, and mistreatment of foreigners, widows and orphans. If we participate in these practices we are to be, "put to death." If we mistreat these people and they cry out to HIM, HE will hear them and "kill you by the sword."
When we lend money to HIS people, specifically the poor, we are not to press them for repayment, or collect interest from them.
If we take our neighbors garment as collateral for a loan, we must return it before sunset. This alone is his covering, he must have it back to sleep.
GOD finishes this portion of judgements off with "I am compassionate."
These judgements follow the principles of life we would want to follow today.
We have multiple laws of the books concerning matters of injury, negligence, inequality and injustice.
Isn't it funny how GOD had already made these judgements not only for the nation before HIM at the time, but for all people who choose to follow HIM?
Have you ever considered these judgements in place today and what difference they would make in our society.
What would happen to our community of believers if we chose to follow these judgements today?
Why haven't we taken the initiative to truly live as GOD has instructed?
We say we follow HIS commandments, HIS Mitzvah's, yet do we practice these judgements in our lives today?
Do we lend without interest, without expecting payment, without pressure, without a change of attitude towards someone if they don't repay or respond in the way we expect?
Do we offer "double restitution" to those who have trusted us, or to those whom we have accidentally wronged in any way?
What of the widows, the orphans, the needy, have we visited with them offering them whatever assistance they may need?
Could we truly take on ALL of the judgments of GOD here, not seeing them as "commandments" or as "law" but as judgments of how we are to live, react and respond to our everyday lives, as well as the lives of those around us?
If we did enact these judgments into our own lives, living them, not just following them, how different would our lives become?
What are your thoughts on these scriptures?

The Clean It Right team did an outstanding job on our tile cleaning needs. Ed and his staff were very courteous and walked through the step-by-step procedures involved in making our tile floor look like new. We debated replacing our flooring, but in meeting Ed and the Clean-It-Right team, he took on the job with confidence and they exceeded our expectations.
Dan Grady - Hercules Industries
A review from one service contractor on another: (Clean It Right HSR)
Ed, the owner/operator is just as impressive as the effectiveness of his equipment.
As he is punctual, and very reasonable with unique sort of personal charisma that
I seldom encounter among all the typical service people I frequently work with.
I immediately put him in my "A-List" contacts that I use for referral purposes.
He will no doubt be very successful, as he goes above and beyond to please all!
Steve Campbell
"Ed is honest, professional and committed to quality service."
"Did a good job on our exterior tiles! "
"Great job"
"Ed worked extra hard to get my tile cleaned. I'm grateful for his effort, and also for his patience & flexibility with scheduling. "
"ON Time, explained the procedure to clean my tile floor. The results were Amazing! I will call on Clean It Right every spring cleaning time."
Impressed! Ed was on time for the job and finished on time. My floors have never looked so good! Amazing job. I will be telling my friends!
Christian Taylor
Even though Ed Fisher showed up on time, I was highly skeptical that he would be able to get the stains out of my natural stone slate floor. This was the third time that I had a professional out to clean that slate and the results were always very expensive and very disappointing. Ed, however, used a new technology of 180° water pushed through very high-powered jets. The resulting dirty water was immediately sucked back into his machine so the floors stayed relatively dry. Ed even got down on his hands and knees and hand scrubbed around the baseboards and under the cupboards to make sure that we got all the areas. We took pictures of the tile before we started as a benchmark. It was amazing to see the dirt come right up. The effect was incredibly visible and I hand mop this floor weekly and hand scrub it at least once annually. But not anymore! The floor looks almost as good as it did when it was laid, 13 years ago. The slate is green again. The results were so incredible that I gave Ed permission to post before and after pictures on his website. Ed will be coming back here annually and I cannot recommend him enough!
To whom it may concern: As you can see by this picture my car went swimming. It had over 8 inches of water inside. I thought it was ruined. I came across Ed with Clean It Right and he said he could save my car. I let him work his magic on it. I am happy to say it has been over 4 months now and you can't smell any lingering odors and the interior looks great! I want to publicly Thank Ed Fisher and Clean It Right for saving my car. Respectfully: Doug Lewis
From: Cindi Brady Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Phone: 303-868-3387 Message: After recently moving into a home built in 1951, with white carpet throughout I was concerned about keeping the inside clean. I wish I had known what a difference the hard surfaces would make in the upkeep of the rest of my home. I failed to move everything out of my garage around the edges and now its just a reminder of what a great job Ed did as far as my preparation work would allow. Now the garage floor is gleaming, squeaky clean in fact, and every time my granddaughter drops something I am relieved to know it is falling onto as clean a floor outside my home, as any inside my home. And now I don't worry about tracking all that grease and grime from my garage floor onto my clean white carpet. Next thing I have Ed lined up to do is the white carpet to keep it gleaming like the day I moved in.

MWC: ARM says different cores in multi-core chips are possible
Just like a Woolies pick 'n mix
CHIP DESIGNER ARM said it will be possible to mix and match different cores in its future chips.
ARM licenses its chip designs to all of the big embedded chip designers including Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Nvidia and Broadcom among others. Three of those firms announced new chips based on ARM designs at Mobile World Congress, with multi-core being the buzzword.
However, the conventional wisdom is that all the cores on a dual or quad-core chip are identical, but according to Bob Morris, director of mobile computing at ARM, that need not be so.
While Morris demonstrated the advantages of a dual core ARM Cortex A9 chip over a single core variant, he said that there is nothing in ARM's design that would stop a firm such as Qualcomm from making a dual core chip consisting of, say, a Cortex A9 core and a Cortex A5 core to hit a specific power rating.
Morris said that multi-core chips are not just the preserve of gamers but that running multiple cores at lower voltages provides significantly lower power usage.
In a demonstration to The INQUIRER, ARM ran a real-time benchmark consisting of loading a number of websites in a loop. Not surprisingly the dual core chip finished the benchmark first, in around 44 seconds compared to the single core variant's 55 seconds, but the dual core chip utilisation during the benchmark had far fewer 100 per cent utilisation peaks.
These peaks are important not only because the chip draws the most power when it is 'maxed out' but because power leakage is at its highest, explained Morris. The idea of multi-core chips is to minimise the number of times a single core hits 100 per cent utilisation.
The ability to mix and match cores will mean that firms can run less powerful cores for tasks such as music playback but engage more power hungry cores when more compute heavy applications such as games are run.
So while companies are promoting multi-core chips for gaming and 3D video, they can also be used for the less glamourous but more useful goal of increasing battery life. µ

Re: Third party development platforms
Ian Joyner <i.joyner@...>
Excellent. I'm glad someone is using the approach with the Obj-C runtime. I've thought myself that would be the way to do it, but lack time and motivation. I still think to get Mac developers involved, the compiler has to be integrated with Xcode, which might compel developers to look at EiffelStudio. However, Apple seems to be removing any desire for developers to look at anything except Objective-C, which as I've said is a curious language (although I like it better than C++ - but that wouldn't be hard would it!).

Black Spot
Black spot of rose, also known as leaf blotch, and leaf spot, is a disease caused by a fungus called Diplocarpon rosae. The optimal conditions for disease development are 75-85° F and high relative humidity. Infection may be greatest on leaves that remain wet for six hours or longer. Leaves and canes can become infected.
Signs and Symptoms
Leaf symptoms are roundish, black spots with fringed margins that can be up to ½" in diameter. The spots form on the upper sides of leaves. The tissue surrounding the spots turns yellow. Infected leaves may prematurely drop from the plant. Usually lower leaves are infected first. Excessive leaf drop weakens the plant, predisposing it to other forms of injury such as those caused by temperature extremes. Cane symptoms are blister-like, reddish-purple blotches that later turn black.
Disease cycle
Black spot is caused by the fungus Diplocarpon rosae. The fungus overwinters on diseased canes and in infected leaves on the ground. In the spring, the fungal spores spread to emerging leaves and stems by wind or splashing rain.
Management of black spot includes sound cultural practices such as raking fallen leaves and removing infected canes. Avoid wetting leaves when watering and maintain air circulation around and within the plants to promote drying.
Several rose cultivars have good resistance against black spot. Growing resistant or tolerant roses means that you will get better disease-control results with less frustration and less fungicide spraying. If a cultivar is not resistant, fungicide applications may be necessary for disease control. Check with your local garden center for products labeled for black spot. Some varieties may require spraying every 7-10 days throughout the growing season, especially if the weather is cloudy, warm, and humid. Cover both sides of the leaves when spraying. If possible, alternate between different fungicides. It is important to read the label and follow application recommendations. Fungicide treatments are most effective when used in conjunction with good cultural practices.

On January 27 there was a crash that sent a Hall County Sheriff's Office deputy driving a pick up and the driver of a tractor-trailer carrying live chickens to the hospital for a short time. The tractor-trailer overturned during the wreck, killing dozens of chickens. Last Wednesday Sarah Segal, a member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, applied to the Georgia Department of Transportation to place a 10-foot-tall memorial tombstone to honor the chickens killed at the site on U.S. 129/Athens Highway near Wilson Road for one month.
It is unlikely the application will be approved because the memorial policy states explicitly that applications must be for "people" to be considered . The size of the display is also outside approved guidelines.
This is just the most recent attempt by PETA to memorialize animals killed in transport. PETA has applied to memorialize chickens in Salem, Ore., and in memory of fish spilled on the road in California. Neither effort was successful. Segal, and PETA, is hoping for a different outcome this time.

French: Mésange des bouleaux
German: Grauhaubenmeise
Spanish: Herrerillo Crestigrís
Other common names: Brown Crested Tit
Taxonomy: Parus dichrous Blyth, 1845, Nepal.
Until recently present genus normally subsumed into a broad Parus, and many authors still prefer that treatment. Relationship with L. cristatus uncertain; further study needed. Both were previously considered, on grounds mainly of morphology, to have close affinity with Baeolophus wollweberi. Race wellsi intergrades with both nominate and dichroides in S China. E Himalayan populations perhaps separable from nominate as race izzardi, on basis of longer wing. Four subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- kangrae Whistler, 1932 - NW Himalayas (Jammu and Kashmir E to Kumaon).
- dichrous (Blyth, 1845) - C & E Himalayas E to SW China (S Xizang).
- dichroides Przevalski, 1876 - C China (E & S Qinghai, S Gansu and S Shaanxi S to N Sichuan).
- wellsi (Stuart Baker, 1917) - S China (E Xizang E to N Sichuan and W & N Yunnan) and NE Myanmar.

College Hockey:Wildcats Shut Out Minutemen
DURHAM, N.H. — Sean Collins scored two goals and had an assist while senior classmate Preston Callander added a goal and two assists to lead No. 7 New Hampshire past Massachusetts 4-0 Thursday evening in Hockey East action at the Whittemore Center.
"I was really pleased with our effort tonight, I just like the way we played from start to finish," said New Hampshire head coach Dick Umile. "I told the team that we beat a good team; (Massachusetts is) tough, they make you work for it, they forecheck, and they take the puck away from you. We handled the puck well, we played smart, and we executed when we had our chances."
It was the first time that the two teams met on the ice since UMass knocked UNH out of the Hockey East tournament on March 19 in the semifinals at the FleetCenter in Boston, 5-2. The Wildcats ran their record at the Whitt to an unblemished 9-0-0 so far this season, a building in which the Minutemen have only won once.
Missed connections were the story of the first period for the Wildcats, as they generated opportunities throughout the period, but failed to come up with any points. UNH outgunned UMass on the shot chart 11-4, but a bright spot for the Minutemen appeared on the penalty kill. Near the bottom of the percentage range in Hockey East play, UMass looked strong during its two kills.
The second period saw more matched play between the two squads. As the period progressed, it looked like the two teams would skate into the second intermission still scoreless, but fortune began to favor the Wildcats.
Craig Switzer had the best look of the game at 18:37. Taking a great feed from Sean Collins across the slot down low, Switzer one-timed the puck at an open net, as Gabe Winer was out of position on the right side of the crease, but the puck found more metal than anything else, ringing off the post and into the corner.
Penalty trouble finally caught up with the Minutemen late in the period, as Garrett Summerfield was whistled for hooking at 19:06. The Wildcats cashed in only a few seconds later with Jacob Micflikier bringing the crowd to life.
Driving to the net from the top of the right circle, Micflikier fought off a defender the whole way, jamming his shot low into the pads of Winer. Winer made the save, but Micflikier stuck with the puck, putting it across the goal line as he skated across the crease at 19:37.
Collins tallied the first of his two goals in the contest early on in the third period. Collecting a Daniel Winnik rebound from the left side low, Collins lifted the puck into the net at 4:18 to make it 2-0 Wildcats.
New Hampshire made it 3-0 at 13:22 of the third while on a 4-on-3 power play. Puck movement in the Minutemen zone found a wide-open Collins on the right faceoff dot, and he made the most of his opportunity, beating Winer cleanly.
Callander put his name on the scoresheet at 18:59 of the third. Skating across the top of the slot from right to left, Callander rifled a shot over the glove of Winer, getting enough of the crossbar to direct the puck into the net.
"We had a strategy coming into tonight's game, that we had used against (New Hampshire) before, that we were going to try and take some ice away from them," commented Don Cahoon. "We tried to possess the puck as best we could, with the thought being that if we could deny them puck possession, and have a little bit of puck possession ourselves, regardless of where it was on the ice, that it would give us a better chance to limit great scoring chances.
"That's what UNH is all about. They are very proficient at scoring goals when given too many chances."
Jeff Pietrasiak saw light work between the pipes for the Wildcats, making 17 saves en route to his first career shutout, while Winer stopped 23 shots. UNH finished the evening 2-for-6 on the power play, while the Minutemen were scoreless on five chances.
The Minutemen may be without the services of sophomore Matt Anderson for a while, after he was escorted off the ice midway through the third period after a collision at neutral ice. Cahoon discussed the nature of the injury to Anderson's lower body, and his prognosis.
"I don't want to be the alarmist right now, but what I have for preliminary information isn't good. Until I get confirmation from our medical people, I won't say exactly, but it doesn't look good. It may be something that might keep him out for a while, if not the season."
Saturday New Hampshire (11-3-2, 6-1-1 HE) hosts the U.S. Under-18 team in an exhibition scheduled for a 2 p.m. start, while the Minutemen (7-10-1, 4-5-1 HE) host Sacred Heart in a non-conference matchup slated for 7 p.m.

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Some poor defensive play from the No. 3 Wildcats helped lift No. 13 California to an 8-0 win in six innings Sunday.
Arizona committed five errors behind pitcher Sarah Akamine (11-3), the most since booting the same number in an 11-0 loss to Oklahoma on March 18, 2007. Akamine, then a freshman, took her first collegiate loss in five innings that day.
It was UA's second time on the wrong end of a mercy rule this season. The Cats dropped an 11-1 decision in five innings to Arizona State on April 2 in Tempe.
Valerie Arioto (18-7) allowed three hits to the nation's highest-scoring offense, striking out nine in the complete game.
Karissa Buchanan (2) and Stacie Chambers (1), Arizona's hottest bats in conference play, had the only hits.
Cal (36-15, 6-9 Pac-10) jumped all over Akamine early with the help of two UA errors. The Bears sent seven batters to the plate and scored two runs off the bat of Jace Williams.
They broke the game open in the fifth, scoring four more on shortstop K'Lee Arredondo's gaffe and Kristen Arriola's third error of the game.
After another UA error in the sixth, Arioto hit a two-out single up the middle to plate two more and give Cal the run-rule margin.
Arizona dropped to 40-8 overall and 10-5 in Pac-10 play. They now sit two games behind league leader Washington, who downed Oregon State today.
The Cats will head to Eugene, Ore. next weekend for a series with the Ducks.

Pooling resources is key for this family.
Three generations working side-by-side to bring in harvest. Identical twin 16 year-old daughters. Long days of staring at little red berries, followed by short nights. Energy, patience, stamina and passion are needed to bring in this tangy holiday tradition.
And it's a life that Dawn Gate-Allen wouldn't trade for anything. She's a working mom, but her office involves tall boots and a lot of water. And solar-powered sensors talk to her laptop – wherever it might be. Those sensors make sure the cranberries don't get beyond 105 degrees in their bogs and have enough moisture. Wouldn't that be handy for your plants?
Dawn, her husband and the twin daughters are the only labor you'll find on their 27 acres of cranberry bogs most of the year. Dawn's parents, two brothers pool their labor during harvest of their mutual bogs. The girls are the fifth generation to love the science of growing cranberries.
You may not be able to tell them apart, except for their interests. Nicole is focused on floriculture, fascinated by the science behind genetics and DNA. Mariah is more into natural resources, with a bend toward protecting the environment and their bog's precious water supply. Their mom worries about how the girls will make a living from cranberries on the current set-up – she knows they'll need to diversify to be sustainable.
"It's a privilege to be a farmer and take care of our 90 acres of land." That care is such a concern that they use food grade oils in the harvesting equipment. If something does happen, they have equipment to contain and clean-up the spill. Maybe BP could learn something from this cranberry-growing family?
Did you know?
Protecting the environment is top priority for cranberry farmers. Dawn and her husband have invested $100,000 in conservation upgrades including pop-up sprinklers, automated irrigation and new waster control flumes in the last 2 years. Water is is literally the lifeblood and recycled throughout the bog system. Water provides frost protection in spring fall, protects root zones during the harshest winter months and is essential to harvest.
Consider this…
Native Americans and early settlers understood the value of these bright fruits. They ground cranberries into "Pemmican" – and used it to preserve meats throughout the winter. Cranberries were also used for wound care. Fast forward to university research of today – Proanthocyanidins, which prevent certain E. coli from sticking or adhering to bladders walls, has been discovered in cranberries. Tomorrow's research is underway for this little berry's power related to cancer, dental, ulcer and heart issues.
And Dawn thinks that's pretty cool. After all, she's a mother who knows what a bright future those berries have – for others and her daughters.You are welcome to use any of our farm stories with full attribution to Michele Payn-Knoper, using the following description (byline): "Michele Payn-Knoper is one of the nation's leading farm and food advocates.

View at publisher
In fear extinction, an animal learns that a conditioned stimulus (CS) no longer predicts a noxious stimulus [unconditioned stimulus (UCS)] to which it had previously been associated, leading to inhibition of the conditioned response (CR). Extinction creates a new CS-noUCS memory trace, competing with the initial fear (CS-UCS) memory. Recall of extinction memory and, hence, CR inhibition at later CS encounters is facilitated by contextual stimuli present during extinction training. In line with theoretical predictions derived from animal studies, we show that, after extinction, a CS-evoked engagement of human ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC) and hippocampus is context dependent, being expressed in an extinction, but not a conditioning, context. Likewise, a positive correlation between VMPFC and hippocampal activity is extinction context dependent. Thus, a VMPFC-hippocampal network provides for context-dependent recall of human extinction memory, consistent with a view that hippocampus confers context dependence on VMPFC.

New Palm smartphones (P120, C40) coming soon to Sprint?
Almost three months ago, when Palm and Sprint launched the Pre, everyone knew that more webOS smartphones are on their way. One of them has already been identified as Palm Eos (or Pixie).
Other two seem to have recently appeared in Sprint's inventory management system, codenamed Palm 120 and Palm C40.
The mysterious smartphones appear next to the Palm 100, which is actually the Palm Pre. While the Palm 120 could be a variation of the Pre, the C40 seems to be a totally different device – maybe the Eos, which should come to replace the Palm Centro?
As seen last week, Verizon has two upcoming Palm smartphones too: the P101 and P121 – the first one probably being Verizon's own version of the Pre.
Sure, these assumptions might be wrong, so let's hope that Palm will soon make an announcement to clear things up.

I don't actually have students for another three weeks, but, like most teachers, long before a student ever walks through your doors, my mind starts turning to school.
It amazes me every year how much more of my classroom set up stuff I can do without actually being in my classroom. I need to go in to get my class lists, my schedule, and to hand paper on my bulletin boards, but besides that, I can do almost all of my set up from home. Welcoming letters, lesson and unit planning and all of my classroom tech infrastructure can be done from anywhere.
Today I decided that it was time to start looking at a few of my essential pieces: blogs and wikis.
I've used Idea Hive as my classroom brand for almost a decade. The site itself has moved around, starting at David Warlick's Class Blogmeister, to edublogs when they were first starting out, to Worpdress.com, and then finally to my own self hosting set up. I still believe that having a central classroom space (I call it a mother blog) is important. It's open to the world, I can post whatever I want on it and make it the homepage of all of my classroom laptops, forcing kids to see what I post on their each time they turn on a computer. I've thought a lot of the years to moving to a Facebook page or group as well as other technologies, but in the end, I've always stayed with WordPress as my platform. It is customizable, I can add plugins to it to add functionality that I might want, it generates an RSS feed for people to subscribe to, and, most importantly, I have control of the data if I want to add something or delete from it.
This year I have decided to start with a basic WordPress setup that I have added Buddypress to as a plugin. This will allow me or my students to add discussion groups and forums to our site. As the year goes on we can also add additional functionality such as wikis if we need them.
Eventually each of the students in my class will set up a space of their own. This year I'm thinking of doing it differently than in the past, working kids up from discussion groups to wiki contributors and then to "graduating" to their own space. I'm not sure about this. I'll have to sort it out.
In opposition to most of the wikis I use in the class, this blog gets emptied every year. I think that each class deserves it's own space to grow into. This means that each year this site gets emptied out and rebuilt. This gives us a clean slate.
I also took a look today at a wiki that I've been using since 2007. Studying Societies is a simple wikispace that I've used on and off for all of that time. This is a space that we use for our study of history. Keeping a single space for this long in a small town has led to interesting dinner conversations in more than a few homes as younger siblings check out the editing history of certain pages and find work completed by older brothers and sisters. They take great joy in reediting their work!
This space I don't clean out from year to year as I want the students to see that they are part of a continuum of students who have worked to build up collected knowledge over years. They like to see what others before them have done and get the opportunity to add missing pieces. After this many years we are starting to compete with link rot when it comes to some of the images and videos that are embedded.
This will need to be a priority for this year's incoming class.
The same tools – wikis and WordPress have been cornerstones of my classroom for a long time. But both of these tools are powerful and flexible enough that they evolve with me and my classroom. I can alter them and make them match different classes of students and my needs.

From my understanding,
http://mywebsite.com/image.jpg, can help the ranking of
http://mywebsite.com in a search engine, such as Google (obviously the search engine of primary concern).
So, SEO-wise, moving an image to
http://whatever-cdn.com/my-account/image.jpg is bad.
A popular solution is to use a CNAME record, such as
http://cdn.mywebsite.com, so that image.jpg can be accessed at
The question
http://cdn.mywebsite.com/image.jpg rank as effectively as
http://mywebsite.com/image.jpg ?
Does it help boost the main
http://mywebsite.com ?
Or, does it rank independently because it is a subdomain?
Is there another option (a way to use a CDN without sacrificing ranking)?

I have a weird problem that has me baffled. A few days ago, my wife reported that, when she went to run a program for our daughter on an alternate login, my machine was "off." I asked her if she wiggled the mouse, would it come back "on." And she said no. She reported that the fans were still running, but the OS was not responding, and not even on. The monitors were on but had no signal.
I went into Windows logs and found some relatively worthless message saying "the last shutdown was unexpected." This is because I had my wife reset the machine to get it started again. After a reset, she reported that it worked as normal.
I got home today and the same thing was happening again... No OS, but running fans, CPU fans, power source fans, but no OS. I took the covers off and cleaned the guts and aired out the components. I inspected it and no obstruction seemed to be apparent (I thought maybe the system was overheating or something due to a wire interfering a fan...).
So I'm not sure what's going on. No real updates or new software in the last few days to have caused this. I'm thinking maybe some kind of tool that will monitor my system and report to me any failures? Does anyone know if any way to troubleshoot this?
Any ideas are appreciated.
chkdsk and turned up no bad sectors. HDD seems to be good. Off to do a memory test now...
Memory test yielded no problems, so I'm assuming the memory is good.
The good news is that overnight the machine is still running fine, EXCEPT:
I went to connect to the network and my network adapter was gone. I mean completely missing, no device at all. Troubleshooting revealed I needed to install a network adapter and its driver. I rebooted and all is well. Not sure if this is related but it sure is odd...
EDIT 4 Seems to be running OK all day. I have on-board video, so I will need to look into testing an external card for the next phase of testing. Thanks for all the good ideas so far.
I think the manual cleaning/air-out/inspection helped. Maybe my connections were loose and I snugged them in when I had the box open... I opened the box again, and just made sure everything was in its place, and I haven't had problems in two days.

Look For A Potential Buy Setup In The Russell 2000 Index ETF (RWM, IWM, ITB, INDEXRUSSELL:RUT)
Stocks opened substantially higher yesterday morning, but reversed to trend lower throughout the entire session and finish in slightly negative territory. The price action of the failed gap in the broad market produced reversal candles on the daily charts of broad based ETFs, leading us to a new potential ETF trade setup in the inversely correlated ProShares Short Russell 2000 (NYSEARCA:RWM). Since $RWM is a "short ETF," we are basing the potential buy setup on the chart of the small-cap iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSEARCA:IWM). The first chart below shows $IWM running into resistance of its 50-day moving average and prior swing high:
Monday's reversal candle was not the most ideal "bearish engulfing" candlestick pattern because the prior day's action in $IWM was 1) a negative close and 2) a narrow inside day (engulfing such a small candle is not as significant). Nevertheless, it was a decent reversal showing stalling action at the 50-day MA and prior swing high, giving us a low-risk entry point with a clear protective stop price. Rather than selling short $IWM, we are planning to buy $RWM instead (if it hits our trigger price). This benefits subscribers who are unable to sell short because they have non-marginable cash accounts. As shown below, the buy stop in $RWM is just above the two-day high:

During the recent correction, the iShares Dow Jones US Home Construction (NYSEARCA:ITB) showed great relative strength by refusing to break the lows of its base, even as the S&P 500 was breaking down and setting lower highs and lows for several weeks. This pattern of relative strength is easy to see on the comparison chart below:
$ITB continues to consolidate in a tight range above the rising 50-day moving average on lighter volume, which makes it an ideal buy candidate on a breakout above $21.00. If the market pulls back in over the next few days and $ITB follows, then we may have a low risk buy scenario develop if $ITB undercuts the 50-day MA and forms some sort of bullish reversal candle:
With the S&P 500 failing to hold yesterday's opening gap up, and reversing to close below the 50-day MA, we could see a short-term retreat in the market. If the pullback is on lighter volume and most leading stocks and ETFs are able to hold their ground, it would certainly be good news for the bulls and a clear sign that the rally is strengthening. But if the market sells off on higher volume and leadership stocks do not hold up as well, then we may need a few more weeks of base building before there is a significant move out (assuming the market is able to hold on to recent swing lows).

State Street Files For 6 New Active ETFs
Stoyan Bojinov: With "fiscal cliff" woes off investors' minds, at least for this month, stocks have enjoyed a very green start in the new year. On the product development front, 2012 shaped out to be quite busy as several newcomers like Pyxis and Huntington joined the industry while veterans continue to beef up their existing lineups; the ETF universe ended the year just shy of the 1,500 mark in terms of total products, marking yet another stride forward in the democratization of the investing process.
Industry giant State Street has filled the development pipeline with six proposals for actively-managed funds. The first SEC filing details three value/growth products:
- SPDR MFS Systematic Core Equity ETF: This ETF will employ a bottom-up approach to buying and selling investments based on fundamental and quantitative analysis. Some of the factors considered include analysis of earnings, cash flows, competitive position and management ability.
- SPDR MFS Systematic Growth Equity ETF: This ETF will also use a bottom-up approach, however, it will focus exclusively on companies that possess attractive growth potential.
- SPDR MFS Systematic Value Equity ETF: Similar to the core equity strategy, this ETF will rely on bottom-up analysis with a focus on value stocks.

- SPDR SSgA Risk Aware ETF: This ETF will use a proprietary quantitative investment process to measure and predict investor risk preferences while investing in securities selected from the Russell 3000 Index. The underlying portfolio is dynamic; during periods of anticipated high risk, the portfolio may increase its allocation to safer securities like large cap and value stocks, and vice versa.
- SPDR SSgA Large Cap Risk Aware ETF: This ETF uses the same strategy outlined above, although it differs by selecting its underlying holdings from the Russell 1000 Index.
- SPDR SSgA Small Cap Risk Aware ETF: This ETF also uses the "risk aware" strategy, although it differs by selecting its underlying holdings from the Russell 2000 Index.

Freezing Snow Peas and Sugar Snap Peas
©By Deborah S. Tukua
With an abundance of sugar snap peas in our raised garden bed still producing this month, we've frozen some in bags to enjoy later. While I am a proponent of home-canning, a surplus of these peas should be frozen instead of canned. Most freezer preserving guides don't include sugar snap or snow peas, so we'll provide the how-to-freeze directions here.
Both snow peas and sugar snap peas have edible pods. Pick ripe pea pods from the vine every few days to ensure tender, crunchy freshness. Harvest snow peas when the peas in the pod have just begun to form and the pod remains tender and flat. Harvest sugar snap peas from the vine once the peas have begun to fatten, causing the pod to round.
Preparing to Eat, Cook or Freeze~
Pinch off the ends and pull to remove the strings along the seams of the pods before eating or freezing. The fresh peas can now be eaten raw, stir-fried, steamed, stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for two weeks or frozen.
The peas must be blanched before storing in the freezer. To blanch, add 4 quarts of water to a pot and bring to a boil. While water is heating, prepare the pods as instructed in previous paragraph. Add 2 to 3 cups of pea pods to the boiling water and cover. Time for exactly 2 minutes and remove promptly from heat. Drain off water and place the pea pods immediately in a bowl of ice water for 2 minutes. Remove from bowl and dry pea pods on paper towels. Place snow peas or sugar snap peas into freezer bags or containers, seal, label and store in freezer.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Just what I wanted
I'm pretty picky, and this jacket fits me great. It's very waterproof, even in the shower! The shirt underneath didn't have a drop of water. The fit is good for a slim body type, but with enough room for base and mid layers.

What's the fit on this?
I know it says strandard but on another page a reviewer said kinda athletic.
Is it more like the Typhoon? where the M was way to baggy on me, or more like the Dragon where the M fits me perfectly?
5'11",140 lbs. M size fits just right on me. Length is good, arms are long enough so they don't ride up. Not baggy, but enough room for base and mid layers.
What are the pockets like on this jacket?...
What are the pockets like on this jacket? Like are they mesh on the inside or would they be suitable for colder weather?
rlo. For the most part, pockets are not added to a jacket to add warmth. In most jackets the pockets do nothing more than prevent ultimate breathability out of the jacket (multiple layers of fabric for air to move through) and hold some of your stuff. The reason that we use mesh pockets in our highest-end jackets is to maintain ultimate breathability throughout the entire jacket. This is a technical detail we are proud of an very few of our competitors follow suit. The less fabric there is between you and the outside air in a waterproof/breathable shell... the better the garment will breathe. This is also the reason we use "tiny" tape on some of our jackets as well. Tape doesn't breathe due to the adhesive backing it and the small the tape used the more breathable surface area in the jacket. I hope this makes sense and gives you insight. If you want some warmth out of a shell at a fleece or some other insulative layer underneath! I hope this helps. Cheers!

I'm looking for a shell to wear over my Alchemy jacket when it is too cold/windy, while snowboarding, hiking, tailgating. Would this fit the bill?
Joe. This would fit the bill perfectly. This is a GoreTex Jacket that utilizes the Paclite laminate coupled with a 70 D face fabric (shell) that gives it much more durability than other Paclite Jackets on the market. It will work well in just about any situation and can handle just about anything you throw at it. I hope this info helps!

Does this shell allow you to zip in a fleece liner from MH, like monkey fleece, or do you have to wear them as seporite pieces when layering??
Nope. This jacket is not zip-in compatible.
Wearing them seperately is usually more comfortable anyways, because they don't bunch up. Also if you get warm you can take off a layer more easily.
Is this the successor to the Xenon? It...
Is this the successor to the Xenon? It sure seems similar, with Paclite under 70d fabric and those low pockets. If so, why is it now classified as light and fast rainwear vs. an iceclimbing/mountaineering jacket like the Xenon was? Just curious...
This has performance shell which is not as breathable and a bit heavier.
Actually James, this jacket DOES have the Pacline membrane under 70D fabric. It is identical to the Xenon, just new lines.
it's performance shell: http://www.mountainhardwear.com/Product.aspx?top=2034&prod=3515&cat=2072&viewAll=False
All. The reason that this is classified as "Performance Shell" is due to the fact that we combined the Paclite Membrane with a burly 70D shell fabric to make a less expensive, but just as durable, option to ProShell and Gore did not know where to classify it... so, Performance Shell it is. Also, keep in mind that most Proshell utilizes a 40D shell fabric and this is way burlier than that. It is the exact fabric package that we used in the Xenon Jacket and I am not sure why it's suggested uses or classification changed. It would work phenomenally well as an alpine climbing jacket. Hope this info helps!

Martin, L J M; Siliart, B; Lutz, T A; Biourge, V; Nguyen, P; Dumon, H J W (2010). Postprandial response of plasma insulin, amylin and acylated ghrelin to various test meals in lean and obese cats. The British Journal of Nutrition, 103(11):1610-1619.
View at publisher
The propensity of diets of different composition to promote obesity is a current topic in feline medicine. The effects of three meals with different protein:fat ratios on hormones (insulin, acylated ghrelin and amylin) involved in the control of food intake and glucose metabolism were compared. Five lean (two females and three males, 28.6 (sd 3.4) % body fat mass (BFM), mean body weight (BW) 4590 g) and five obese (two females and three males, 37.1 (sd 4.1) % BFM, mean BW 4670 g) adult cats were studied. Only BFM differed significantly between obese and lean cats. The cats were fed a high-protein (HP), a high-fat and a high-carbohydrate diet in a randomised cross-over design. Food intake did not differ between cats fed on the different diets, but obese cats consumed significantly more energy, expressed as per kg fat-free mass, than lean cats. After a 6-week adaptation period, a test meal was given and blood samples were collected before and 0, 30, 60 and 100 min after the meal. Baseline concentrations of glucose, amylin and acylated ghrelin were higher in obese cats than in lean cats, and obese cats showed the highest postprandial responses of glucose and amylin. The HP diet led to higher postprandial amylin concentrations than the other diets, indicating a possible effect of amino acids on beta-cell secretion. Postprandial ghrelin concentrations were unaffected by diet composition. The relationship between insulin, amylin and ghrelin secretion and their relevant roles in food intake and glucose metabolism in cats require further study.
