We are all here to accomplish one goal - to receive great customer service from companies. As such, please be respectful to other members on Gripevine, as well as the companies and organizations you interact with. Try to bring your best self to the table and you'll find that everyone you choose to engage with will be much more receptive.
Remember, when seeking resolutions from companies, it's no longer about who is right or wrong but how best to get the other side to listen and respond;
1. Gripes are specific complaints with specific expectations … Guestbook entries are your impressions about a customer experience - great-or-not-so-great
You plant a Gripe when you are issuing a complaint to a company about a specific issue and with a specific expectation. During the planting of the Gripe you will be asked "what is this about" and "what do expect from the company". When you make a Guestbook entry, this is a more general impression of your experience, and it can be positive or not so positive.
2. Think through what happened
Step back and analyze your situation as objectively as you can. Make sure that you've thought through what the company could have done better. Did the company really create this problem? How can you help them get better?
3. Stay chill when griping
The temptation to react angrily to the indifference of people from whom you need help can be intense, but anger is not going to help your cause. It doesn't mean you should accept poor service but be aware that you are connecting to another human being, and none of us react well to being attacked.
The fact that you're publishing your detailed experience online and sharing it with friends and followers is a statement that you have something serious to say. So try to keep the tone of your gripe polite and objective. Many times, conflicts between consumers and companies are the result of simple misunderstandings or crossed wires. Being abrasive and sarcastic will not help you achieve your goals.
4. Give it up for the good ones
A nice Guestbook entry, especially for a small business, can mean the world to their growth and success. Take the time to heap praise when it is deserved. Why not a little more loving in this world of ours?
5. Stick to the facts
Gripes and Guestbook entries need to be about a specific experience that is yours. What companies really
want to know is:
i) What happened?
ii) When did it happen?
iii) Where did it happen?
6. Provide documentation
If you have photos, video, or PDFs that provide background for your post, include them, but make sure to edit or black-out personal information before publishing to the general public. You are able to upload private documentation directly to the company.
7. Privacy
Keep your personal information private. Do not place person-identifying information in your public commentary. When posting, there is a private section that only you, the business, and designated Gripevine personnel have access to. In the Contact Information part of your Settings, there is a place for your name, phone number, email address, city and state. These are only shared with companies about which you Post. There is also a place to enter account numbers, and transaction reference numbers; and, these are shared only with the company as well.
8. No need to repeat yourself
Your Gripevine voice can and will be heard loud and clear. There is no need to repeat, duplicate or rewrite the same postings on the same experience.
9. Be clear (and realistic) about what you want if you have a Gripe
Gripevine isn't a place to just mindlessly bash companies; it's a place to seek resolution. One of the most important factors in creating successful resolutions is for you to know what you expect. Maybe it's a simple apology? Do you need a refund? Are you looking for a replacement product? Make sure that you clearly indicate what you feel it's going to take to set things right.
Remember to be realistic. If you were briefly inconvenienced at an airport, for example, it's probably not a good idea to demand a return trip overseas. If your new blender stopped working a week after you bought it, asking for a replacement would make sense; asking to be crowned Emperor of Australia, not so much
10. No need for threats
Threatening a company with a lawsuit or legal action will rarely solicit a response from a company. In many circumstances, once you have initiated such a threat, a company can no longer easily engage through the customer relations channel as it has become a legal issue. So, if you are on the phone to your lawyer, you have gone beyond getting resolution through Gripevine.
11. Treat others with respect, praise has power
Whether you are griping about a company or giving your opinion on another person's customer service issue, it is important to refrain from obscene, condescending, disparaging or threatening remarks towards other Gripevine members and/or companies. Use Gripevine to shout out some praise with a nice Guestbook entry or, even if planting a Gripe, there is often a part of the story where something was done well!
12. Sham-ful Plugs - No spam please
Unauthorized advertisements and/or links will be instantly removed. In most cases the gripe, comment and user will be removed and blocked from the website.

|Re: incubator-cordova-mobile-spec pull request: Changed file and all autotest p...
|Tue, 10 Jul 2012 05:59:44 GMT
Just going to reiterate this pull request to our test suite, as I think it's important. Basically, the pull request adds cleanup routines before firing off the execution of any of the File API tests. The routine grabs the root FileSystem object returned via window.requestFileSystem (for both PERSISTENT & TEMPORARY types of file systems), lists off all the contents of these two FS's (directories + files), and deletes everything. This way we have a clean slate before running the tests. Especially important if you are re-running File tests that are failing (and whose post-test-run cleanup may not have executed). I came across this stuff adding up-to-date Cordova support to the Ripple emulator this weekend. It was a good exercise in that I had to code the browser-based equivalents to most of Cordova's APIs. In most cases, especially the File API, Ripple needs to marshall the exec() calls off to the underlying implementation. Example: exec calls to the "File" service + "write" action actually instantiates Chrome's implementation of a FileWriter, creates a Blob from a string, passes the blob into the FileWriter's write method, etc. Why do I bring this up with the list? Well, I need platform testing help, of course :). In actuality, I'm fearing that running the equivalent of "rm -rf ./*" under the root of the returned TEMPORARY and PERSISTENT file system directories via the Cordova APIs may be a bad idea. Like, does PERSISTENT/TEMPORARY return the equivalent of any shared file system space on any of our platforms (/sdcard on Android, or /Documents on iOS)? If so: we need to fix this. In Android and BlackBerry we have concepts of application sandboxes - our File APIs should use this space, that is, requestFileSystem should route to these safe, application-only spaces. I'm hoping iOS and Windows Phone 7 have a similar concept as well (and all of our other budding platforms, too). I would suggest that if application developers need to get at the device file system outside of these application jails or sandboxes (for example, shared spaces like /Documents or whatnot) to use window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI and pass in path strings that correlate to these shared spaces. One more note related to this pull request: I am probably going to have to patch a lot of our file tests this week at some point. There are a few assumptions in our tests related to the File API that are wrong. For example, that the TEMPORARY or PERSISTENT file system roots returned by the Cordova API have a path that is longer than just "/". In Chrome, the root file system path returned is always "/", so many tests failed :) On 7/9/12 5:31 PM, "Git at Apache" <email@example.com> wrote: >GitHub user filmaj opened a pull request: > > https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-mobile-spec/pull/8 > > Changed file and all autotest page bootup sequence > > The "all" and "file" autotest pages need a better cleanup sequence >before firing off the tests.

Sep 17, 2012 at 10:34 am #1294162
i know the spec says 2.5mm….and my Kelty triptease works great – but i was wondering if anyone had specific experience with these linelocs (like the ones that come OEM on the trailstar)
have you tried using it with
Gossamergear EZC (2mm)
Lawsone Ironwire (2mm or maybe 2.25
Zpacks Zline 2.2 mm??

@andrew-fLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
Anything smaller than the supplied 3mm cord (including Triptease) will slip at some point. You may not notice this under normal conditions, but in high winds or high shelter tension there will be some slippage. You can test this out by pulling hard on a loop on the LineLoc; eventually the load strand pops past the unloaded strand and you get slippage.
The green Nite Ize reflective cord is a slightly lighter alternative to the 3mm cord which will NOT slip. I have tried the Gossamer Gear line and it slips at about the same point as Triptease. I use Triptease even though it slips and tie a slippery half hitch just under the LineLoc once I have it where I want.
AndrewSep 17, 2012 at 1:42 pm #1913020
I just tried it at home with triptease (which specs say is 3mm btw) and a 2.2mm pure spectra line form zpacks…and it didnt slip.
Now i assume at SOME strength it will slip but i wonder if that is really practical since i imagine the stakes would start moving first.
Did you actually manage to pull the triptease out just with holding the line in one hand and the lineloc in the other casually or did it take tying it to the wall and pulling and such?

Lawson glowire works well with lineloc3. I believe that's 2.2 mm.
I used that for my myog backpack compression, and for some other parts, it's nice, it has a rough exterior and seems to hold very well.
Tarptent also uses a similarly sized cord with its built in lineloc3 adjusters, somewhere in the 2-2.2mm range, and that also works well.
The stuff with the smoother exteriors I'd have some doubts about, both of the above are some kind of dacron type sheath over the core, and that seems to be fine with lineloc3, which is I assume also why tarptent uses that.
When you see it, you can tell that it will hold fine, I got zero slipping on my pack, nor on my tarptent.Sep 17, 2012 at 6:58 pm #1913140
diego deanBPL Member
Using lineloc3 with my Lawson glowire, it will slip with enough tension or I can high wind conditions. I found this out using a super fly tarp for hammock ing. Lots of tension on the curved Ridgeline and it will slip badly. I'm looking for an alternative now but I really liked the glowire,Sep 17, 2012 at 11:12 pm #1913227
Mole JBPL Member
@moleLocale: UK
My experience :
Tarptent supplied line slips if wet and buffeting winds. This from wild nights in the UK hills. (The Scarp was fine btw). A stopper knot was needed for a stable pitch in such conditions.
Other 2.5mm and thinner also slips if wet and buffeted.
I changed all my Scarp lines for 3mm braided line. That hasn't budged so far ( looks like what MLD use)
David on Oware site illustrates a thin line solution- ie double wrap.Sep 18, 2012 at 6:25 am #1913262
Mole- so why don't you double thread?
Also talked to Lawson that said it worked fine… I wonder if that has to do with test environment (ie wet and what kind of load) or the type of line(eg what seath material etc)
Troubling no doubt as these linelocs are really cool but getting a line thicker than 2mm or there about seems really excessive.Sep 18, 2012 at 9:09 am #1913296
Andrew FMember
@andrew-fLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
To get them to slip, you have to pull pretty hard with some of these cords, like >30 lbs with fingers looped through both ends. And it depends on the specific LineLoc- some of them hold better than others due to manufacturing variance. But I noticed on my Trailstar and Spinnshelter that the triptease guylines would slip slowly during normal use resulting in a slack shelter until I started tying half hitches. The half hitches solve the problem completely, but if you are going to tie knots anyway, it's tempting to just cut the LineLoc's off. It's too bad there isn't a LineLoc built for 2mm cord.Sep 18, 2012 at 9:38 am #1913307
Mole JBPL Member
@moleLocale: UK
Mike. I found that with doubling thin line , the linelocs don't work as smoothly as with single. I want simplicity- I use 3mm on the Scarp pitchlock ends (10 linelocs in all) and 2 mm with the side guys and one lifter . The extra weight of 3mm is negligible on a tent that weighs nearly 1.4kg (50oz) with the additional guys/stakes needed for a full pitch.
For a tarp with long lines (scarps pitchlock guys are quite short) I'd likely use 1.5 or 2 mm.
As I do on the Hex3 I have modded with mid panel lifters.
but really, ignoring bulk, weightwise 3 mm line over 2 mm is a slurp of whisky or a half of a snickers bar – neither here nor there when carrying 4 days food.Sep 18, 2012 at 10:45 am #1913328
so what line do you use?
i gather that the issue is that even if a line is rated @3mm since its really hard to measure at these thin diameters – it could function worse…
MikeSep 18, 2012 at 5:16 pm #1913447
diego deanBPL Member
I ordered and should have tomorrow the NiteIze green line to use with my lineloc 3's. I have been putting it off and just using my glowire, but I got pretty frustrated when trying to set my tarp up in the wind the other day and they kept slipping under load. I think the Niteize is 2.3 MM so we shall see.Sep 18, 2012 at 5:35 pm #1913453
Here ThereBPL Member
I've used the niteize green line but the way the reflective pattern is made doesn't let it adjust very smoothly. It's a minor annoyance, so I picked up some glowire to see if it works in the conditions I generally find myself in.Nov 1, 2012 at 6:33 pm #1925938

I've been using the Kelty Triptease with my Trailstar for the last year or so. Usually the lines work great and hold fine with the linelocs however I recently camped in a setting where we really had to batten down the shelter tight to the ground to hold steady in the 40-50 mph winds and I experienced the triptease slipping under tension. I had to tie off the lines to prevent any further slippage.
I don't think any thinner lines would reliably hold under tension or in heavier winds. I will probably eventually switch the main ridge line guy lines back to a slightly thicker line to ensure better grip in the linelocs.Nov 2, 2012 at 11:54 am #1926028
Dan DurstonBPL Member
@dandydanLocale: Cascadia
I like using reflective lines for my shelter. These are commonly made in a few sizes: 2mm, 2.5m and 3mm I believe. The most commonly known one is Kelty triptease (3mm) but lots of places sell or use a 2mm variant, including Lawson, Locus Gear, TarpTent, MEC etc. Gossamer Gear used to sell one (their EZ2C line). Personally I like the MEC one because it's green which goes nicely with my olive green cuben DuoMid.
If you need to ensure 0 slippage in extreme environments, go 2.5 or 3mm but for virtually all normal use the 2mm stuff is great. It's what I'm using for the perimeter guy outs on my mid, where even if it did slip it a bit it's only a few inches away from the stopper knot at the end of the line. For really important guy outs (ie. ridgeline of a A frame), you could go with a thicker line to ensure 0 slippage, but I'd still chop some weight and just use a few feet of the heavier line at the LineLoc, and tie that to some thinner line for the rest of the length.
Sea2Summit appears to sell a 1.8mm reflective line, which is likely too small to work well with LineLoc3's but it could be tied to thicker line used at the tensioner.
EDIT: Locus Gear has a 1.7mm as well:

Lineloc 3's have a design flaw and no matter the cord size everything slips to some degree. On the bottom were the cord converges its a U shape and it should of been a V shape.. People think that its a cord size issue but this is not the case at all, its a design issue. All 2mm cords and up work great. If you have any slippage, all you have to do is tie a slippery half hitch after the Lineloc 3 and the buckle will break before it slips.. Good Luck : )Nov 2, 2012 at 3:58 pm #1926055

And was just about to use linelocs and cord for a pack frame with very high tension and something akin to buffeting created by walking. Back to smaller beefy ladderlocks.
Lawson, I am sure you are right. Nothing else explains the very inconsistent results reported on the posts. Sounds like they are still good for tents, though.Nov 2, 2012 at 7:21 pm #1926081
I'm guessing you are referring to the circle in this photo?
Here's a photo of a quick release lineloc. It looks a little different.
This last photo is a similar device from an REI tent about 10 years old. If you look carefully you will see a slit. After pulling the cord tight you reverse the directionn of pull on the cord and jam it up into the slit. My experience is that these things hold absolutely. No slipping. Could never get my hands on any except for the ones on the tent, however.
This post reveals more about you than than the linelocs. Showing photos of your linelocs instead of your non-existent grand kids……..and on a Friday night? My god man, get a life…or at least go down to Chaff where they understand people like you.

Lawson KlineBPL Member
Thanks for the Photo Daryl : ) I drew an arrow where the U is. Its on the bottom side and is the place that is suppose to lock the cord in place but it doesn't because its a U and not a V… I am not sure why ITW Nexus didn't catch this when they designed it but its an obvoius design flaw. If they would of made it a V the Lineloc 3's would of probably worked with 1mm cord.. If anyone wants to take a photo of it, turn it over and shoot a photo at a 90 degree angle from the finger tab to the webbing slot. I hope this make sense.Nov 3, 2012 at 7:04 am #1926122

In short, I'm not buying it.
I didn't design Linelocs and thus can't speak definitively; but I don't think jamming in the U-slot is the primary method of retention. Look at a picture of a Petzl Reverso or other plaquette style belay device. Force from the "in" side of the line smashing the "out" side down is what makes it work. The gen.1 Reverso just had a smooth metal bar there and worked fine. Of course, they had to make the Reversino for sub8mm twin ropes, which points to the real problem. Use fat cord close to that which will fit through the Lineloc, and you'll have to problems. Slick Dyneema doesn't help either, and quite frankly adds no value as tarp guyline. The Linelocs will break long before the strength of 3mm nylon cord is significantly challenged. I've had shelters with Linelocs out in 70 mph gusts and while there was stress on the anchors themselves, the locs were not slipping.Nov 3, 2012 at 9:04 am #1926136
Z Packs sells a flat cord they say works well with the linelocs.
Here's a link (scroll down to the bottom).Nov 3, 2012 at 10:10 am #1926152
OK, the flat line idea opens up a few low cost options for lineloc lines. Here's a photo of utility cord options that can routinely be found on those sporting good section racks of camping accessories.
I can't speak for all of them but I did try the orange cord shown on the far right. It has a very snug "I promise not to slip" feel to it when under tension. Even when not under tension it has a "I will hold this position until you come back" feel to it. This latter characteristic appeals to me for some applications (e.g. a front bag-to-pack frame connection cord).Nov 3, 2012 at 8:18 pm #1926240

Don't know about the climbing gizmos David is referring to, but the notch is clearly necessary to keep the cords positioned one atop the other in the buckle so it will create the friction between the cords needed for it to work. Suspect that if the notches wear down over time, the LL3s will slip.
If the notch had the 'V' discussed, it might be much harder to tighten under tension.
But if the cord is of sufficient diameter to slide but fit fairly tightly in the notch, the taper in the notch should retard slippage under tension, as David mentions. Since the device also depends greatly on the friction between the two cords, it also seems important that the cord not have a slick surface.
Will stick with the LL3s for the pack after all, but test to be sure that the cord is large and rough surfaced enough to hold well. Will start with Triptease, and note that the stuff directly from Kelty appears a little larger in diameter than the stuff from TarpTent. I did not want to use ladderlocks because nylon webbing will stretch, and I need zero stretching for the application. LL3s with Dyneema in the cord seemed by far the lightest way to achieve the desired result.
Daryl, you could always ask someone to take sole custody of your camera on the weekends. Those are nice photos, though. Must be a good camera.

Holding the Line: Borders in a Global World
€ 37,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juni 2005
BeschreibungThis volume contains contributions from twenty-four scholars concerning the significance and implications of the world's borderlands in economic, political, and socio-cultural contexts. Together these essays explore the changing role of borders in a global world. Are borders increasingly irrelevant under conditions of globalization, or can a case be made to demonstrate their continuing importance at various levels of spatial activity?Situating itself within a growing border literature, "Holding the Line" argues that contemporary borders facilitate parallel processes of globalization and localization of political activity. As such, the essays adopt a holistic approach to understanding the impact of boundaries on both society and space. They demonstrate that any attempt to create a methodological and conceptual framework for the understanding of boundaries must be concerned with the process of bounding, rather than simply the means through which the physical lines of separation are delimited and demarcated. This approach renders the notion of a "borderless world" highly problematic, because the latter ignores the important and ongoing relationship between the functional role of borders in the bounding process, and the symbolic role of borders as imagined social, political, and economic constructions embedded within a geographical text.The changing characteristics of political boundaries during an era of globalization has become a great focus of interdisciplinary study, and this book will appeal to scholars of political geography, border studies, and international relations.

I always rub in my panties, I sit legs up and spread looking at the crotch panel. I feel the smooth material from seam to seam, and especially over my clit, and favor white so I can see that seam ends the cotton liner on my butt. I play with the rippled material 'til I've rubbed myself to orgasm. Not sure where I learned it, But I love panties. Hope other girls will try it. : )) Lisa

The Vans Duct Tape Invitational presented by Pacifico is the brain child of surf innovator Joel Tudor. For nearly a decade Joel had wanted to create a contest that combined the fun, family vibe of 'club' contest, travel and progressive surfing on traditional longboards into a traveling circus now known as the Vans Duct Tape Invitational. The Duct Tape quickly became the 'main' stage for a new generation of loggers such as Alex Knost, James Perry, Ryan Burch, Tyler Warren and a host of others who had been largely ignored by the surf world. In 2010 the first Duct Tape took place in conjunction with the East Coast Surfing Championships and since then has traveled the globe providing an exciting new twist in surfing culture and competition. The contest is comprised of 16 invitees competing on traditional logs, single fin, no plugs, 9'2 minimum, and 12lbs. In addition there is a no-interference, best wave shared aspect where surfers are encouraged to ride the same wave and see what they can make of it together. Nose-riding, cutbacks, and all other maneuvers are scored but it is style that is the back bone of what the Duct Tape really brings to surfing. In 2014 the Duct Tape will return to Huntington Beach for a second year to be part of the Vans US Open of Surfing before traveling to Nova Scotia, Canada for the first time, in 2015 keep your eyes peeled for a Duct Tape Invitational near you!
If no shared wave in a regular round, prize money from that
heat will carry over into the final heat
Total – $14,000

Carnitine (β-hydroxy-γ-N-trimethylaminobutyric acid, 3-hydroxy-4-N,N,N- trimethylaminobutyrate) is a quaternary ammonium compound[1] involved in metabolism in most mammals, plants and some bacteria.[2] Carnitine may exist in two isomers, labeled D-carnitine and L-carnitine, as they are optically active. At room temperature, pure carnitine is a white powder, and a water-soluble zwitterion with low toxicity. Carnitine only exists in animals as the L-enantiomer, and D-carnitine is toxic because it inhibits the activity of L-carnitine.[3] Carnitine was discovered in 1905 as a result of its high concentration in muscle tissue. It was originally labeled vitamin BT; however, because carnitine is synthesized in the human body, it is no longer considered a vitamin.[2] Carnitine is involved in the oxidation of fatty acids, and involved in systemic primary carnitine deficiency. It has been studied for preventing and treating other conditions, and is used as a purported performance enhancing drug.[1]
Biosynthesis and metabolism[edit]
Many eukaryotes have the ability to synthesize carnitine, including humans. Humans synthesize carnitine from the substrate TML (6-N-trimethyllysine), which is in turn derived from the methylation of the amino acid lysine. TML is then hydroxylated into hydroxytrimethyllysine (HTML) by trimethyllysine dioxygenase, requiring the presence of ascorbic acid. HTML is then cleaved by HTML aldose, yielding 4-trimethylaminobutyraldehyde (TMABA) and glycine. TMABA is then dehydrogenated into gamma-butyrobetaine, in an NAD+-dependent reaction, catalyzed by TMABA dehydrogenase. Gamma-butyrobetaine is then hydroxylated by gamma butyrobetaine hydroxylase into L-carnitine, requiring iron in the form of Fe2+.[4]
Carnitine is involved in transporting fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, by forming a long chain acetylcarnitine ester and being transported by carnitine palmitoyltransferase I and carnitine palmitoyltransferase II.[5] Carnitine also plays a role in stabilizing Acetyl-CoA and coenzyme A levels through the ability to receive or give an acetyl group.[6]
Physiological effects[edit]
Carnitine deficiency caused by a genetic defect in carnitine transport occurs in roughly 1 in 50,000 in the US. Systemic primary carnitine deficiency (SPDC) is characterized by various cardiological, metabolic and musculoskeletal symptoms that vary widely in age of onset and presentation. Prognosis is generally good with carnitine supplementation.[7]
Secondary carnitine deficiency may occur due to conditions such as malnutrition, poor absorption or access to only vegetables.[5]
Some research has been carried out on carnitine supplementation in athletes, given its role in fatty acid metabolism; however, individual responses varied significantly in the 300 people involved in one study.[vague][6] Carnitine has been studied in various cardiometabolic conditions, with a bit of evidence pointing towards efficacy as an adjunct in heart disease and diabetes. However, there are insufficient trials to determine its efficacy.[8] Carnitine has no effect on preventing mortality associated with cardiovascular conditions.[9] Carnitine has no effect on serum lipids, except a possible lowering of LDL[10] Carnitine has no effect on most parameters in end stage kidney disease, however it possibly has an effect on c-reactive protein. The effects on mortality and disease outcome are unknown.[11]
An important interaction between diet and the intestinal microbiome brings into play additional metabolic factors that aggravate atherosclerosis beyond dietary cholesterol. This may help to explain some benefits of the Mediterranean diet. Hazen's group from the Cleveland Clinic reported that carnitine[12] from animal flesh (four times as much in red meat as in fish or chicken), as well as phosphatidylcholine from egg yolk, are converted by intestinal bacteria to trimethylamine (the compound that causes uremic breath to smell fishy). Trimethylamine is oxidized in the liver to trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which causes atherosclerosis in animal models. Patients in the top quartile of TMAO had a 2.5-fold increase in the 3-year risk of stroke, death, or myocardial infarction.
A key issue is that vegans who consumed L-carnitine did not produce TMAO because they did not have the intestinal bacteria that produce TMA from carnitine.[13]

The highest concentrations of carnitine are found in red meat.[14][15] It can be found at significantly lower levels in many other foods including nuts and seeds (e.g. pumpkin, sunflower, sesame), legumes or pulses (beans, peas, lentils, peanuts), vegetables (artichokes, asparagus, beet greens (young leaves of the beetroot), broccoli, brussels sprouts, collard greens, garlic, mustard greens, okra, parsley, kale), fruits (apricots, bananas), cereals (buckwheat, corn, millet, oatmeal, rice bran, rye, whole wheat, wheat bran, wheat germ) and other foods (bee pollen, brewer's yeast, carob).[citation needed]

In general, 20 to 200 mg are ingested per day by those on an omnivorous diet, whereas those on a strict vegetarian or vegan diet may ingest as little as 1 mg/day.[citation needed] However, even strict vegetarians (vegans) show no signs of carnitine deficiency, despite the fact that most dietary carnitine is derived from animal sources.[14][15] No advantage appears to exist in giving an oral dose greater than 2 g at one time, since absorption studies indicate saturation at this dose.[18]
Health Canada[edit]
Other sources may be found in over-the-counter vitamins, energy drinks and various other products. Products containing L-carnitine can now be marketed as "natural health products" in Canada. As of 2012, Parliament has allowed carnitine products and supplements to be imported into Canada (Health Canada). The Canadian government did issue an amendment in December 2011 allowing the sale of L-carnitine without a prescription.[19]
Levocarnitine was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a new molecular entity under the brand name Carnitor on December 27, 1985.[20]

text: The focal point for this paper is the new national museum of Singapore which; interestingly; comprises a network of new museums representing the various cultural minorities that make up the Singaporean population (the Singapore History Museum and the two new wings of the Asian Civilizations Museum). In particular; I wish to explore the reasons why; and the processes through which a cultural phenomenon (in this case the culture of the Peranakans) becomes defined as ânational heritageâ by the state. Relatedly; I will also consider how different definitions of heritage are interpreted by Singaporeans and how constructions of a multi-ethnic heritage may co-exist in harmony with the stateâs hegemonic aims. To do so; I will focus first on the Singaporean museumsâ attempt to invent a Peranakan heritage and appropriate a sense of âindigenousnessâ in the project of nation building; and secondly on a recent exhibition on marriage which; I believe; attempts to put forward a Singaporean identity based on the portrayal of the nation as a multi-ethnic âcommunity of communitiesâ.

The Real Measure...Happiness
9:15 PM | Posted by Meg
Have you all heard about Bhutan? It's that tiny Himalayan country surrouned by China, Tibet, Nepal and India. Sorta off the beaten path, kind of an obscure place for western travelers to visit. It is one of the most isolated countries in the world. Bhutan is a very religious, spiritual country, high in the Himalayas, with a very powerful message for the rest of the world.
It's a country that measures its Gross Domestic Happiness. Their spiritual growth and development, quality of life and level of happiness is how Bhutanese measure their value. Not dollars and cents. Yep. Happiness. Doesn't that put a smile on your face? Isn't that what life should be about?
This is my friend Mike Rogers, we went to highschool together in Singapore. Last year he was in Bhutan filming a documentary, looks like he was a pretty big hit with the little ones! The New York Times recently mentioned Mike in its, Why We Travel slideshow.
AT THE DECHEN PHODRANG MONASTIC SCHOOL IN THIMPHU, BHUTAN, MARCH 27, 2008 Mike Rogers, a 27-year-old documentary filmmaker from Singapore, shows novice monks what he just shot. "I grew up in Singapore, and one of the reasons I moved back there was simply because of the travel opportunities in Asia. There are so many cultures, such a rich history of those cultures, so many nuances: a Buddhist in Bhutan is different from a Buddhist from Thailand or Cambodia. We were at the monastic school when the dinner bell went off, and this flood of kids came out of their classrooms and down a hill, probably 100, 150 of them. I had set up the tripod at the bottom, to catch them coming down the footpath. But once they saw I was down there, they decided to run down the more treacherous way, and I captured them all in slow motion. When you show a digital image to kids from a place where they don't see that so often, they get really excited. But this time it was in slow motion, so I was bending time right there in front of them — and they were ecstatic." As told to Seth Kugel

Bhutan is virutally untouched or influenced by the rest of the world, particularly the west. And yet in 2006, Business Week ranked it as the 8th happiest country in the world! My brother went there a couple of years ago on a school trip with all of his best mates. I would love to go there one day... it's on that Bucket List! All of these photos are taken by my brother Lon's best friend, the very talented amature photographer, Michael Greene!

Is there a way I can give remote site specefic user, admin rights so that the user can only see their site toicket whle the site is connected to central installation?
3 Replies
Nov 22, 2011 at 4:12 UTC
I'm don't think there is any such thing as 'remote site speciic user'....
I'm also not sure what you are trying to accomplish...
Nov 23, 2011 at 8:41 UTC
It sounds like you want to have different users have granular permissions in spiceworks? . If so, I feel your pain. I want it too. I would love to give one user admin over just a specific group of devices and another one admin over all desktops but not servers.
As far as I know there is no way to do that currently in spiceworks.
Nov 28, 2011 at 2:26 UTC
By default, users can see their tickets.
When using Remote Collectors, all users reside on the central server so there is no such thing as a "remote user".
Does that help answer your question?

Davidson, D.W., Salim, K.A. and Billen, J. 2011. Histology of structures used in territorial combat by Borneo's 'exploding ants'. —Acta Zoologica (Stockholm) 93: 487–491.
Histology of structures used in territorial combat by Borneo's 'exploding ants'
Johan Billen, Zoological Institute, University of Leuven, Naamsestraat 59, box 2466, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Histological studies of the hypertrophied structures of Borneo's 'exploding ants' confirm homology with mandibular glands; reservoirs (only) are hypertrophied as storage structures. The general anatomical organization and ultrastructure of the glands is similar to that in other ant species. Development of secretory structures is not unusually great, and secretory cells are apparently confined to the head. These results suggest gradual production of mandibular gland compounds and filling of reservoirs and are consistent with known and hypothesized roles of mandibular glands and their products.

We migrated from Iowa looking for milder winters and lake life. We have lived here 5 years and wish we would have traveled south sooner. The property development and construction was done by ourselves, in addition to our fulltime employment.
Deb Parry purchased this bungalow in 2015
We want to share the beauty and nature of the lake and allow others the opportunity to wake up with the most fantastic view to start their day.
This property is the only elevated "treehouse" on a ridge offering panoramic lake views of popular beaches, Eufaula and Longtown. Brand new, solid construction, tastefully decorated and full of popular amenities. Only minutes away from the shores of Lake Eufaula. This is one of four units, so group accommodations are available.
We loved our stay! The treehouse is amazing and better than we could have expected. Owners thought of everything. We felt pampered and rested as we celebrated our 40th anniversary. We look forward to coming back. Thanks!
Very secluded, beautiful area. Jacuzzi was great, view was amazing!
Perfect getaway, we will definitely return!!
Deb was very hospitable and helpful!!
Very private and restful. The view was beautiful. Not difficult to climb and was thoughtfully furnished. The jetted tub a plus. Loved every minute.
This was the perfect place for my wife and I to enjoy some time away from the day to day.
The property is new and was very clean and very well maintained. It is as pictured and described (really nice!) - we really enjoyed grilling some steak on the back patio overlooking the lake.
The owner was always available to help and provided great support when we needed. We would definitely return!
Enjoy the history, nature and hiking at Robbers Cave ...just a short 30 minute drive in Wilburton- home of the famous fall festival.

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Awards :
|Milton Keynes Collectormania 13 After-Party Costume Contest - 1st Place
|Time Taken :
|2 months
|This is one of my most favourite costumes to do, by farrr~
I chose to cosplay Mrs Lovett simply because I absolutely adore her! Not only that, but I'm completely besotted with Tim Burton's version of the movie.
The hardest part was most likely the bask. That was hand-stitched, and the feathers had to be glued on at the end. The material was too thick where we'd created the 'bones', so it was hand-stitching all the way~
The easiest part was actually the skirt, I think. The ruffles were quite easy to create, and the material was a delight to work with. The worst bit about it was trying to figure out how to make it stay up! (We decided on braces in the end... it was very heavy!)
I learned from this that Fimo clay is <3
I made the pies from half of a tin can, and fashioned the Fimo around it. They ended up looking pretty cool! A lot people like my pies. They're a celebrity trap too ;D
I absolutely love wearing this costume, mainly because I get so many compliments for it. It's so nice to know that people appreciate all the hard work and love that went into this ^^
It's also been great because I got to meet some neat people through wearing it! Such as my adopted Sweeney, Jack =3
Your Lovett is made of ultimate awesomeeeeeeee
Although it's a shame it doesn't smell of Kai Owen anymore =P
i saw you! yay i finaly recognised someone.
i think you are one of the people me and my freinds stalked for a while ^_^
we had fun stalking people
Awesome, obvvvvvvv.
Although you need a bleeper or something to warn you when the gold thing comes out of your boobs. LMAO.
'It's priest. Have a little priest.'
Completely brilliant cosplay, you pull her off so well!
Like the pie too, who's in that one? ;D
*struggles not to break into song*
Definitely one of the best costumes I've seen and the best Mrs. Lovett hands down!
Brilliant costume. Good to see it here. One of the best Lovett's I've seen. Jack enjoyed posing with you in the photos. I've sugguested that he joins here. People will love his Depp stuff.
thats one amaze mrs. Lovett, the sweeney you had in one of the photo's looks realy good to!
congrats on the prize, its a shame i couldnt make it both days to C13 other wise i would of seen it D=
Not only is your costume amazing, you've got a bit of Helena Bonham Carter in your face shape and such, this really is perfect!
This is very good :) suits you!

Many of us were grateful that the public editor of The New York Times, Arthur Brisbane, chose to devote his column today on the issue of crediting publications such as ours for the work we do. The case in point concerned The Times' two-part series on sexual abuse in the ultra-Orthodox community in Brooklyn, and the way communal, religious and political pressure has combined to limit the public's right to know what exactly is happening to those who commit these awful crimes.
When the series was first published, I wrote to Brisbane, congratulating The Times for its work but suggesting that the reporters violated their own ethical guidelines by not acknowledging stories in The Forward and The Jewish Week that formed the foundation of that work. Gary Rosenblatt, editor of The Jewish Week, signed onto the letter, and wrote about it in his own publication.
It's rare that an institution as powerful as The Times owns up to its mistakes, and I'm impressed to see the way Brisbane reacted so quickly and authoritatively. That said, I wish his analysis had gone further, to credit The Forward's work dating back to 2009 and continuing until today. Here's one example:
In her defense of The Times' decision not to credit work done by other media outlets, Carolyn Ryan, The Times's metro editor, said the paper was aware of the lengthy reporting by other media outlets on abuse. However, Ryan said The Times only credits others when it uses "exclusive information" that other journalists "reported first."
Ryan used this argument to defend The Times's decision not to give credit to The Jewish Week for reporting weeks before The Times that Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes had inflated the success of his Kol Tzedek hotline, a program that is supposed to encourage confidential reporting of sexual abuse.
But what about The Forward? This newspaper was the first to report the staggering number of arrests that the DA was claiming as a direct result of Kol Tzedek — last November. According to The Times's Sharon Otterman, in a Q&A interview with readers on May 11, that Forward story was the inspiration for The Times's two-part series.
If that doesn't constitute what Ryan describes as "exclusive information that… [other outlets] reported first," I don't know what does.
