The next week was very, very eventful.
It all started that weekend.
Sienna walked downstairs, bleary-eyed, hair a
tangle as it usually was on a Saturday morning.
Her parents were at the kitchen table, reading
a letter. Their faces seemed to be getting paler and paler as they read, until
they were waxy grey.
"Sienna Blacklust, I hope you have a very, very
good explanation for this letter!"
Kevin, her father snarled.
Her mother was looking quite faint.
Kevin began reading out the letter; his large,
greenish-grey eyes fixed on the letter with a cold glare.
"To Sienna Blacklust. We received your story
and read it, but will certainly not be publishing it. It was blasphemy in the
highest order, and complete filth. We, at Virtue Publishing Press, couldn't
believe that a sixteen-year-old girl would be capable of writing such vile, unclean,
innocence-corrupting material. You should be deeply ashamed. Only a heathen and
child of Satan could write such a manuscript and describe it with pride as her
own. Yours sincerely, Virtue Publishing Press."
He read out.
Sienna felt a surge of fury.
Religion over talent strikes again.
"Sienna, we told you, no more writing unless
it's good and God-fearing."
Her mother sharply reminded her.
"I don't believe in god."
Sienna told them, swallowing hard and staring
straight past them. Then she looked her father in the eyes and said it again.
"I don't believe in god."
Her parents couldn't have looked more shocked
if she'd pulled out a gun and shot them there and then.
Her father roared, face going from deathly pale
to purple-red in an instance.
Sienna, feeling a scary surge of recklessness flipped
him off, and ran to her room and locked the door. She looked at her bedroom
window. She could definitely climb out of it. Maybe if she was very careful she
could get out onto the roof and shin her way down the drainpipe? Dare she?
Sienna wasn't sure. It seemed dangerous.
It was better than waiting for her parents to
come and beat her, as beating children to teach them discipline was now

Google Apps Mobility Management allows admins to enforce policies on managed devices in their organizations via the device management settings page in the Admin console. With the continued evolution of our mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) capabilities, however, an ever-growing list of policy settings on a single page has become unwieldy for admins.
With that in mind, we've redesigned the device management experience by logically categorizing the settings, making them easier to find and use. For example, all settings applicable to Android devices are now grouped under Android Settings. There are six additional groups of settings: Setup, Password Settings, iOS Settings,Advanced Settings, Device Approvals, and App Management (the individual settings themselves have not changed).
Please note that this feature will roll out gradually and may not be available to 100% of domains until mid-Q1 2016.

Home canning is a great way to preserve your summer harvests and slash your grocery budget at the same time. Over the years we've saved hundreds of dollars by canning our own foods.
There's nothing more rewarding than looking into my pantry or cupboards and seeing them lined with food that I grew and put up. And because I like things neat and orderly {just don't come over right now, okay?}–I've created some FREE printable labels for you to include on your jars. This makes it easy to label your jars with the date they were canned and their contents–which makes them ready to give away, if you so choose.
Green Bean Canning Jar Label–Learn how to can green beans here.
Blackberry Jelly Jar Label –Includes front label and jar top label. Need the recipe–Easy Seedless Blackberry Jelly.
Blank Canning Labels–Includes a label for the top of the jar that has a little design, and then the label for the front of the jar. It can be used together, or separate. These are good for chicken stock, grape juice, refried beans or anything else.
Jalapeno Jelly Labels–These can be used going hortizontally on the jar, or hole punched and attached hanging from the jar with a string. You can find the Jalapeno Jelly Recipe here.
Blank Jalapeno Label–These are great for the pickled jalapenos, salsa, or if you prefer to fill in your own labels for the Jalapeno Jelly.
Now…I'm back to canning tomatoes and peaches. Not together of course!

As per the internal records revealed by the Gujarat Bhawan, Beniwal took undue advantage of the government aircraft, accorded to her, by spending too much hours in her air travel.
As per a report published in India Today, in 2011-12, Beniwal spent 83 hours in flying, in 2012-13, 91 hours of flying and in 2013-14, 102 of flying.
She went outside Gujarat 63 times in her three-year tenure as Gujarat governor. Most of her air trips are reported to be towards her home state Rajasthan and she used to travel Jaipur in govt aircraft.
She visited Jaipur 53 times and Delhi 10 times, the report said.
Surprisingly, she stated that all her visits were 'official' so that she could utililse the government-provided facilities without any expanses.
In 2010, she went outside Gujarat 497 times and her each travel expanse was reported to be Rs 1.5 crore.
Beniwal used to travel in state aircraft- 9 seater Super King Beechcraft 200, that was bought in 1999 at the cost of Rs 19 crore.
The report also said that the Gujarat government is likely to purchase a new aircraft at the cost of over Rs 100 crore with the seating capacity of 12-15 people and it will be equipped with higher safety standards and better amenities.
It should be noted that 87-year-old Beniwal was not at good terms with the former chief minister of Gujarat and PM Narendra Modi over issues like Lokayukta and some laws, during her entire tenure as the state governor.
As a result, she was transferred to Mizoram as its governor and was replaced by OP Kohli.

Thanks, good info; the same UPL attorney has handled the sale of the estate home while having a suspended license (at that time I didn't know); I believe this UPL attorney is going to get in some very serious trouble with the bar for one example before too much longer.
The UPL has sold / transferred the house without a court order because he know he would get caught immediately when he would have to put his bar # on the document. So he just did it all without the judge knowing. He's doing the same thing again with the land.

By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY
Midway through filming Poseidon, director Wolfgang Petersen called his cast into a room to play the first trailer from the disaster film.
The two-minute trailer had all the trappings of a typical summer blockbuster: explosions, fires, buff heroes delivering dramatic lines.
But then the trailer about a capsized luxury cruise ship came to a sudden, unexpected end: The screen went black, leaving only the muffled gasps and screams of people drowning.
"It was eerie, given all the real-life disasters we've had," says star Jacinda Barrett. "It was kind of hard to listen to."
REVIEW: Poseidon sinks under its own weight
The question for Petersen and Warner Bros. is whether the film, which opens in some theaters Thursday and in 3,555 theaters Friday, will be too hard for audiences, too.
The studio is quick to emphasize that the movie, a remake of the 1972 classic Poseidon Adventure, is pure Hollywood spectacle. Poseidon boasts a $150 million budget, hundreds of computer-generated effects and stars Josh Lucas, Kurt Russell and Emmy Rossum.
But it also features disturbingly graphic scenes of passengers drowning — images that Petersen concedes may be difficult for some audiences, especially after Hurricane Katrina and 2004's tsunami disaster.
"I expect that there will be some people who walk out of the theaters," says Petersen, who also directed the water disaster films The Perfect Storm and Das Boot. "But I wasn't going to do a disaster movie like a spoof. I wanted to show the kind of terror people might go through when they really face something like this."
Reality-based themes haven't been a great sell in Hollywood of late. United 93, a dramatization of the doomed Sept. 11, 2001, flight, has done a respectable if unspectacular $20.2 million since its release two weeks ago.
And Poseidon is a remake of a movie that is beloved despite being awash in campy moments. Plus, it faces tough competition, coming a week after Mission: Impossible III and a week before The Da Vinci Code.
Given its subject matter and timing, "Poseidon is one of the question marks of summer," says Gitesh Pandya of boxofficeguru.com. "It's hard to gauge the appetite for this kind of movie."
Russell says real-life events made making the film occasionally difficult; it was being shot as rescue workers were recovering more than 1,300 bodies of those who died after Hurricane Katrina struck.
But he doesn't believe watching the film will evoke painful memories for moviegoers.
"You don't want anyone to think that you're making light of what happened in that tragedy," he says. "This was in the works long before Katrina, and hopefully people will see it for what it is. A Hollywood movie, an escape. That's all."

Maxxie: you're a starMature
I couldn't quite wipe that dreamy look off my face after Cayden left the café, or indeed for the rest of the shift. Even now, as I'm making my way up to his apartment, I'm sure the look is still in my eyes.
His door is open as usual, and the smell of Italian food is wafting out into the corridor, making my stomach growl loudly. I put my keys down quietly and take off my hoodie, revealing my white polo shirt sitting comfortably on my frame - I went home and changed before coming over. Well I couldn't turn up in my work clothes, could I?
Not that I've been able to figure out if we're going out or if we're just fuck buddies. Sometimes it seems like we're just fuck buddies. It's nearly all we do. But then sometimes he gets all nervous and offers to make dinner in his indescribably cute way of asking, like he's asking someone for a first date. He makes no sense. But I suppose I can live with that.
Pushing those thoughts from my head, I sneak up behind him in the kitchen where he's watching something on the stove carefully with a stupidly gorgeous look of concentration on his face. I slide my arms around his waist and press myself close against him. "Smells good," I grin, looking around him art what's cooking.
He jumps and looks at me with a slight laugh. "You're so noisy. I managed to hear you coming, and I never hear people coming in."
"You jumped," I smirk.
"Did not," he protests, and I laugh, reaching up and pecking him on the cheek.
"Of course not, babe." I look back at the pans. Carbonara. "My fave. You're a star." He grins in a way that says 'I know, you don't need to tell me that'. After a few moments, that grin fades and he mutters something about what he still needs to put in it to himself and I bite back a giggle, moving his hands to his shoulders, "you're tense, Cay," I murmur, rubbing the knotted muscles beneath my hands.
"I just... I want things to be perfect," he mumbles and I have to stop myself from going "AWW" and bear hugging him. It's a tall order, but I manage it and smile, moving around to give him a firm kiss.
"It could be burnt to fuck and it would still be perfect," I grin, "just because you're here," I pause and laugh, "I'm now officially more cheesy than that sauce."
He smiles, "you wouldn't want my gorgeous food to go to waste though, would you?" his smile turns to a grin and I match it.
"Of course not. I say it could be burnt to fuck and still be perfect, but I would much prefer the promised amazingness."
"Well then, mister, sit your pretty ass down over there and pick a movie" He kisses before pulling away to get something to stir into the Carbonara and I laugh, turning to the rack of DVDs. Horrors, thrillers, stupid comedies and a couple of sci-fi. Well aren't you the macho man?
"You have a distinct lack of rom-coms here," I wail, looking at him through the kitchen door with a scowl. I'm trying very hard not to laugh. I'm not saying they're my favourite genre, but I do like them for a night in sometimes.
"Don't even get me started on rom-coms."
Then again, a horror would give me a perfect excuse to cuddle up to him while we watch it.
"Why not?"
"Can't stand the things. It's always some sappy broad obsessing over a guy she's never gonna get with. Then the second she gives up and moves on, all of sudden the guy from before wants her. And then they just get together. What's even with that?" he turns to look at me with this irritable, but questioning expression on his face. If the rant wasn't making me giggle already, that look would have got me going.
"They're not that bad, surely?"
"Last time I watched one it sent me to sleep."
"Such a critic," I tut, pulling a horror from the rack and putting it by the DVD player, ready to watch.

The revision process of the international psychiatric classification systems has started and is expected to result in new versions of the International Classification of Disorders (then ICD-11) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (then DSM-V) in approximately 2014 and 2012, respectively. In the process of developing DSM-V, several research conferences jointly sponsored by the American Psychiatric Association, the National Institutes of Health, and the World Health Organization, are currently taking place. We will here focus on the impact that the DSM-V initiative "Deconstructing Psychosis" will have on the future of diagnosing a psychotic state, and how this may be viewed from a European context of Kraepelin's nosology of psychiatric disorders.

Since many of Adam Lambert's concerts are General Admission, I thought I'd share some of my experiences and offer some quick tips on how to make your concert one you'll never forget. Fan site administrator Lila and I started going to GA concerts last year when we attended our first-of-many Muse shows. All of them are no reserved seating on the floor, but standing on a first-come, first-served basis. I attended Adam's Hammond, Indiana show last week and it was the same thing. I have never had a bad experience with this practice. In fact, they've made for some of the best concerts of my life. Lila and I were 5th and 3rd row at Muse/Las Vegas and Muse/Phoenix, right in front of lead guitar genius Matt Bellamy and last week I was front and center with Adam!
Now there's no getting around the "have to go early" syndrome if you want an up-close-and-personal experience. Sorry. But there is a way to make it much easier. I've never done the "get there the night before" thing. At Hammond, the first person got in line at 9 PM the night before. The next person arrived around 3 AM, and others trickled in during the next few hours. Depending on the location, some will let you sleep there, some won't. This is something you'll have to take a chance with, if you think it's necessary. Contact the venue and ask about their policy. Lila and I believe in showing up relatively early the day of the show and scouting out the situation to see if there are others in line yet. If not, we leave for a while and check back later. Usually we've come from out-of-town and like to see a little of the city, if only to go get a good breakfast!
For Hammond, Ellen, Cheryl, Janet and I arrived around noon the day of the show. The first people in line had a clipboard, pen and several sheets of paper. Upon arrival, everyone signed in with a name and number, and then wrote that number on their back of our hand with a Sharpie. We were numbers 31-34 in line. This system is brilliant! However, this was NOT something that was supported or endorsed by the Hammond officials. They made it emphatically clear that they would not follow the list and if people complained, would not enforce it. It was simply our Glamily's system of civility and trust, and we were all standing behind it. If anyone would have dared to challenge us, they would have been surprised to learn how strong a group of women can be! In fact, a group of 3 sweet men weren't happy when they saw the group in line ahead of them, but had no one to blame but themselves for arriving when they did. We got no fight from them! The beauty of the sign-in sheet was it allowed for us to leave the line, go have something to eat, tour the facility, and just keep checking back to see how things were going. Some of our party felt the need to stay there the entire time, but that's up to you. I wouldn't feel right about signing in and not returning until it was time to enter the show. People could challenge you, and this is where you're on your own. You obviously become friendly with the people around you. If this is the first Adam event you're attending, it may be your first time to safely be among others who share your same passion and dedication to Adam.
1.) Even if you're not going to be the first person to arrive, bring paper and Sharpies (don't use washable ink) to start the list. Everyone will be grateful to you for using your head!
2.) Think about bringing portable chairs, food and drink and things to make your time more comfortable, depending on your needs. Usually doors open about an hour before the show starts, so take your chairs and things back to your car about 90 minutes prior. Again, call the venue ahead of time and ask about bringing food to the line and when they plan on letting people in.
3.) Another thing to consider is what part of the stage do you want to be in front of? Again, be prepared. Call the venue and ask them the width of the stage. Usually there's room for 35-50+ to be at the front. What is the number on your hand? Will it allow you to be front row, center? Have a back-up plan. Do you have a favorite performer in the band that you'd like to be in front of, if you can't be close to Adam? For example, do you want to witness first-hand the next Adam-Tommy kiss? Tee hee! Band members will always take the same position on stage, especially when there's choreography. And we know there's lots of that on this Glam Nation tour! That will give you some idea of where in the room you want to quickly walk to when they open the doors. You decide, is it better to be second row on the end, or 5th row back in the center?
4.) Wear comfortable & possibly closed-toed shoes. You'll be on your feet a great deal of time, and in close proximity once the show starts. Protect those pedicures and toes!
5.) Choose a place ahead of time to meet up, just in case you're separated from your friend(s). Thanks Lila for reminding me about that! 🙂
6.) Drink enough water so you don't become dehydrated, but make sure and go to the bathroom before you go in. The crowd can be very unforgiving in trying to let someone get in front of them, even if you say you're just going back to your place!
I know many fans are freaking out a little about not knowing ahead of time where they'll be. I hope this helps brings some calm to that anxiety. Most of all, enjoy your concert and get ready for a show like no other you've seen before! I've seen Queen and David Bowie, so I know what I'm talking about here! No matter what row you're in, you're going to have an AMAZING story to tell. But above all, if you don't have plans to go to any of Adam's shows, rethink that and do what you can to get to at least one. You'll be thanking yourself for every dollar you spend and every moment you spent waiting in line. Once this national tour is over, if he begins an international tour, who knows how long it will be before he's back?!
I can't wait for my next "Fever" to start!!

The 10-day carnival in the port of Rijeka on the northern Adriatic coast is expected to attract 8,000 participants and 150,000 spectators this year. Far from the madness of Rio and the elegant sophistication of Venice, this annual festival has an earthier and more eastern European style.

Potatoes boring? Not in Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Warwickshire, where they give the spud its day of glory with talks, tours, cookery demonstrations and sales of more than 100 varieties of seed potatoes in Ryton Organic Gardens. You can also enjoy a menu of potato-based dishes in the award-winning restaurant and discover exactly how many things you can do with this root vegetable.
12-21 February
Events for Chinese New Year are about to get under way and in Singapore include a range of attractions and activities to explore authentic Chinese culture and traditions in this, the year of the rabbit. Along the waterfront, you'll find something resembling a carnival parade and stalls selling Chinese food, traditional art, handicrafts and so on.
13-16 February
In the village of Treignes, in the Belgian Ardennes, villagers celebrate carnival in their own way. Locals prepare a pyre made of straw, while money is raised to pay for a giant omelette which, according to tradition, is divided among the crowds. The festival ends with the ritual drowning and cremation of the Mardi Gras Man on the bonfire.
13-28 February
In Nice, on the French Riviera, the pre-Lent party is celebrated every day during the festivity by a "flowers fight" (bataille des fleurs - as the French say) between the parade and the public. The theme of this year is "The King of the 20th-Century Carnival" and giant figures in papier- mache built around this theme parade on the main boulevard, the Promenade des Anglais.Reuse content

Using Clonezilla and Perl scripts for backups
Custom Backup
Clonezilla makes backing up and restoring your system an easy affair that only involves a few key strokes. A homegrown solution reduces the time and effort to the act of slotting in a CD, on which you previously burned a Perl script.
I have to admit that there is still a computer with Windows 7 in my household; my wife uses it to do our tax returns and mess about with digital images using Photoshop. Windows 7's built-in backup program was the obvious choice for backing up the PC. But when this tool refused to restore the backed up data at some point, pelting me with cryptic error messages and not allowing me to troubleshoot behind the familiar closed source iron curtain, the decision finally went in favor of a handknit Linux solution.

Derek Roberts (op. cit, p.289) writes of McCabe that he produced more carriage clocks than any other English maker and '[a]lthough they are made virtually to chronometer standards...they use lever rather than chronometer escapements.' McCabe probably made this choice based upon the reliability of the lever escapement and the fact that it was less susceptible to transit damage -- the company had a large export trade, particularly to India.

No VAT will be charged on the hammer price, but VAT at 15% will be added to the buyer's premium which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.

Judging, Judged Together
Being in a girls' school is hard. Incredibly fun and for me, has been imperative to becoming who I am; but hard.
Why? you might ask.
When I made my decision to join in Year 7, the main contributing factor to that choice was the blatant lack of presence of the opposite sex. After my experiences at a notorious sleepover, I was well aware of the horrible characters that some girls could have. Still, I was becoming a rather awkward individual, and the idea of trying to be myself whilst having to conform to the kind of person that boys would approve of - well, I hated that more than anything. My dad was happy, in the way that he'd read the statistics that single-sex schools had better grades than mixed, and of the obvious fact that he wouldn't have to worry about me "whoring myself around" all day when I was supposed to be studying.
The best thing is that I feel inseparable to my friends, I feel that there are no secrets, no need for them, and there are no relationship issues to tear us apart (though there are incidents from neighbouring schools, and I'll get to that.) The worst thing though, which I learnt from the beginning, is labels.
No matter where you go, you will come across those who want to be judged, and who want the authority to judge. Whether or not they admit it, everybody wants to be labelled. It's how society works, it's how school-life thrives, being able to separate the "nerds" from the "sluts" is how you decide where you belong, and who you want to be. Of course, everybody wants a positive label, and the way to distinguish that depends on who you are. If somebody calls you a slut, whether or not it keeps you in on a Friday night, or rebelliously has you hoisting your skirt up a little higher, that word suddenly defines you, it becomes your epicentre. Your life piles up around it, the reason you do things, the words you choose, for one of two reasons. Either you want it to become your core, to fuel you in your endeavours, or you want to swarm and encircle it, surrounding that label with so many contradictions in hopes that it will one day be overwhelmed and obliterated.
I've been given several labels over the years, each have hurt as much as they have empowered me, "giant," "witch", "freak", "introvert", they're all brands that affect people differently. How did I deal with these labels? I flipped them around, I found the positives in them, because that's all you really can do. Labels peel off eventually, but slowly. Try and rip them away and cast them off and there will be marks, scars of somebody who does not fit in anywhere, scars that others will notice and point out jeeringly. I embraced my labels, I accepted that no matter where I went, I was going to be judged.
In the past, I kept myself in the shadows so nobody could judge how I looked. I said nothing controversial so nobody could tell me I was hateful or discriminatory, and I pretty much did nothing interesting in public outside of walking and breathing. People judge to try and gauge a person, it's a tool of deduction to figure somebody out. When faced with somebody who doesn't match any stereotype, that person will panic and defend themselves, because they're new, different, out of the ordinary. In the end, those that judge you are scared and cowardly.
I always hoped that I could rise above it, rise above caring about what I was, and what everybody else was. I'm still learning, so, unabashedly I say that I still judge people, and if that makes me scared and cowardly, then fine, but I would also call myself human.
I'm still finding my place, I feel like something hovering just above the place I am supposed to be, but I haven't settled yet. Perhaps I never will, perhaps I will always float between spaces, maybe in five years' time, I'll be alright with that. Right now, those labels are welded onto my skin, but I don't have the heard to rip them off. I don't want them to become scars, I want everything I once was to be a memory and a lesson.
I want those labels to turn to iron, and become my armour.

Mayor Adam Cork said November's presidential election would allow more voters to vote on the issue. "I think we should have as many people in the community as possible vote on the issue," he said. "I don't know that two months would make any difference anyway." But some seniors threatened to petition for a September election. "September is the next elec- Adam don date, and we're going to get a petition to force you to put this up for election on Sept. ll," said Wayne Rudolph, who has supported the drive for the tax freeze. District 3 Councilwoman Gale Pospisil made the motion to put the issue up for election. "I'm not in favor of freezing property taxes for seniors, even though my family would benefit for Cork it," she said. "I think it's unfair to people under 65. But it's inevitable that it's going to come to a vote, and I feel the voters need to decide the issue, not the city council." Cork argued that freezing property taxes for senior citizens would shift the burden of paying for services to younger property owners.

New Braunfels Police Department Lieutenant John Wommack surveyed the scene from the fringes of the gathering. They and others taking time out of their Monday afternoon to stand in the sticky Central Texas heat were waiting for a funeral, of sorts. They gathered to participate in the American Legion Post 35 and Auxiliary's traditional Flag Day ceremony—the honorable disposal of roughly 55 U.S. flags. The flags, which became unserviceable due to lading or wear and tear, were ceremonially burnt. "It's nice to know these flags will not be going into a trash can," said event Chairwoman loan Helmke. "We need more people in this country who are patriotic and love their flags." Under Helmke's watchful eye, American Legion members tended to the make-shift pyre with a long metal rod.

"They like die rural atmosphere, the dark skies, the clean air, open spaces and trees, and they want to preserve that," Vaughan said. Vaughan and planner Robert D.

City council expects to vote on a final draft of the plan by the end of July. To develop the plan, the city worked with Vaughan and I .arsen, a steering committee composed of Bulverde residents and conducted a survey dial asked residents how they want their town to look and feel as it grows. "We were not looking for a happy medium," said Kenny Whistler, a Bulverde architect who served on the steering committee. "We were looking for the best possible situation. The key to that is proper land use and proper development and following those standards." Survey results indicated residents enjoy the rural atmosphere of their town and worry that with impending growth, Bulverde will become just another San Antonio suburb of scorched earth and big box development, said City Planner Chance Sparks.

Sterilization of water can be accomplished with UV light. Products like Steripen and Hydrophoton use this principle with lights costing about $110+
But, UV lights have proliferated due to their commercial use in detecting fake bills, casino chips, etc.. Would a $3 UV light from ebay work just as well?

1. Viruses are more resistant to UV than other baddies (bateria, protozoa including cysts, giardia and crypto)
2. Thus, any dosage high enough to treat viruses will also be effective for treating the other baddies.
3. UV effectiveness is NOT affected by water temp.
4. UV effectiveness is NOT affected by water pH.
5. UV effectiveness IS affected by water turbidity
My understanding is that Steripen dosage is more than strong enough to handle viruses (and thus everything else as well). Just about the only caution is the treatment of turbid water — which may require an additional effort of screening out particulates — or waiting time for particulates to settle.Sep 1, 2007 at 6:38 pm #1400759

I navigated to Table 5 and didn't see the sentences you quoted above. I found it now, and I quote the entire paragraph:
"Hydro-Photon SteriPEN™ Device Evaluation Update – February 2006
Independent laboratory results were received that tested the Hydro-Photon, Inc., SteriPEN against the USEPA Guide Standard. Testing was conducted using the UV portion of the protocol with a production volume of 4 L/day for 10.5 days. Testing was conducted in 16-32 oz. batches. Testing followed the dosimetry method described in NSF Standard 55 that measures UV dose and correlates it with MS-2 kill. Based on the MS-2 stock used, a kill of 2-log or greater was determined to be adequate to be considered a water purifier, and therefore, effective at reducing pathogens. Collimated beam testing indicated that this reduction equated to a dose of 40 mJ/cm2. Results indicated that this device did not meet the minimum log reduction requirements based on MS-2 kill. Initially, this device did meet the 2-log required reduction, but this reduction decreased by Day 6. On the following days, under higher turbidity water, the device performed poorly, with less than 1-log kill. This performance is expected in turbid waters where UV transmittance is limited. The turbidity levels during this testing were 100-470 NTU, well above the ≥30 NTU requirement, however, this device did not meet the required log reductions in relatively clear type 1 water. Based on this testing, it is not likely that this device will consistently meet the log reduction requirements under any water conditions. There is no change to the pathogen reduction ratings previously stated (bacteria, virus, Giardia, Cryptosporidium)."
I think someone just did a poor job condensing what were likely pages of results into one paragraph — and an incoherent one at that! Reading the above, it seems like they found the Steri-pen effective initially (i.e. initially achieving log 2 kill rate… until Day 6…, when turbid water was used instead, and performance fell, which one would expect. So far so good, until finally, and very confusingly, the report ends with a pretty damning sentence of clear ineffectiveness!
My only conclusion now: This report reflects the usual ARMY SNAFU. I assume ye Canucks understand the acronym? :)
In any case, I am waiting for Brett to find those $3 UV LED equivalents. He's probably pimping the streets of Tokyo right now!Sep 1, 2007 at 9:05 pm #1400765Sep 1, 2007 at 9:26 pm #1400766
I think "clear but cold" water is where UV outshines chlorine dioxide! Doesn't solve the 2L bottle problem though — unless you are willing to bring a 1L bottle along for pouring treated water into your bigger containers…Sep 1, 2007 at 11:46 pm #1400771
> I think "clear but cold" water is where UV outshines chlorine dioxide!
Well, 90 seconds sure beats 4 hours…
Yes, turbid water is a problem, but let's be realistic: only the Army would expect users to drink it. In the mountains we very rarely need to even worry about turbidity. Yes, I have met opaque water – about twice in 10 years. I am prepared to boil that.
> Doesn't solve the 2L bottle problem though — unless you are willing to bring a 1L bottle along for pouring treated water into your bigger containers…
I use my cooking pot, and treat 1 L at a time. Gives me a 2 minute rest for each litre. Can't see any problem with that.Sep 2, 2007 at 2:25 am #1400772

"this device did not meet the required log reductions in relatively clear type 1 water. Based on this testing, it is not likely that this device will consistently meet the log reduction requirements under any water conditions."
If you read the whole paragraph again, it met requirements for the first 6 days of a 10.5-day test of producing 4L per day. Only after that point when the batteries were getting low did it fail to meet requirements. The take home message is to replace the batteries at about 20L if you want to maintain full performance.Sep 2, 2007 at 8:15 am #1400778

When these test results were brought to my attention some time ago, I wrote to Steripen and they provided me with a bunch of material which I sent along to others on another forum. I don't believe I still have it. Some of the material was from independent testing done in Canada as I recall.
Anyway, I was satisfied with the results and am comfortable with my Steripen in the backcountry and out of the country.
Viruses, I beleive, are not much of an issue in North America anyway but I have used the Steripen in pretty suspicious water in Mexico and central America without any ill effects.Sep 2, 2007 at 8:49 am #1400782
Quick note, I found the $3 UV LEDs on ebay! But I'm doubting their possible effectiveness based on the frequency.

I'd say that you are right — those LED's are unlikely to have the "short UV" that is needed for neutralizing baddies…Sep 2, 2007 at 9:36 am #1400787
According to an independent test on turbid water — noting that results were pulled from Steripen's own website — doubling the treatment time can increase the "kill rate" to meet EPA standards for viral and bacterial purification.
But how turbid is turbid? Below is a photo from the test above. If one can indeed treat water as turbid as the glass below by simply doubling the UV dosage, that should give hikers a reasonable "comfort level".Sep 2, 2007 at 12:04 pm #1400796

Having been interested in UV-C for awhile (originally for aquarium and pond use) I've found that the concept and technology have been in use for a looooong time. Here's an article clip discussing the Hotel Fort Des Moines (Iowa):
It cost $1.3 million to construct back in 1919, and according to general manager Paul Rottenberg, "It was built as a 'super' hotel. Every room had its own bath; there was circulating ice water to every room; and the water passed through ultraviolet light to be purified."Sep 2, 2007 at 12:23 pm #1400799

We used a UV unit to sterilize our home's water while living in the mountains of Montana from 1984 to 1994 because our water source was a spring which was prone to contamination. The water was pumped through a pressure tank, then the uv unit. It did the job efficiently and fairly inexpensively.Sep 2, 2007 at 3:17 pm #1400816
> Quick note, I found the $3 UV LEDs on ebay! But I'm doubting their possible effectiveness based on the frequency.
There's only one company in the world able to make UV-C LEDs right now, and the volume pricing on the relevant LEDs is about US$50 per unit at present.
So a $3 UV-LED from e-Bay is unlikely to work. Most likely it gives UV-A light – far too long a wavelength (too low in photon energy) to be effective.
However, given the speed of semiconductor progress, come back next year for the next exciting instalment in this saga!Sep 2, 2007 at 3:43 pm #1400818

I have used steripens on the trail twice, last year, I used a classic steripen which failed after 4 days of use — it got moisture in the chamber which causes it to fail. In discussions with Steripen, I was informed that their newer models are much more moisture proof than the classic. I went on a 15 day hike in SEKI this year with the steripen adventurer, and it worked just superbly. No problems. We got resupplied after day 7, and only then did I swap batteries. I averaged minimally 4 liters of water purification a day on the hike (some days 5 liters).
PS – my friend who hiked both trips with me had same gear, his steripen classic did not fail last year, thank goodness, as that was what we depended upon for the last 5 days of the trail last year. It rained 8 out of 9 days last year on the trail too (this year it did not rain even once).Sep 2, 2007 at 7:56 pm #1400836

Uncommon, but I think it is now a known problem. I believe the circuit boards inside are now being coated with a moisture-proof film.
> I went on a 15 day hike in SEKI this year with the steripen adventurer, and it worked just superbly.
I used our Adventurer on and off for 3 months in France. Never gave a problem.
> We got resupplied after day 7, and only then did I swap batteries.
I took the blue 900 mA Tenrod rechargables and a solar panel I carried on the roof on my pack. Worked excellently. The rechargables have enough capacity to last for several days in case of rainy weather – which we got a lot of.

Sorry...For Everything.
As Ara faded, I sho Iok my head sadly. I would not cry. His memories of me would be gone, and he would be happy. I went upstairs to check on Jason. I held in my hands the photo Leigh had given to me, given to her by Sealantus. I tucked it away, and as soon as I opened the healing room's door, BAM! I was knocked almost unconscious by Jason. He left, smirking. I lay there, blood pooling around me, and this time, no one would help me.
I put out a messege, into everyone's minds. "I'm sorry, for every problem I have caused. I am in the healing room, but it is not healing me.I don't know why, but its not. Jason is out, be careful." I drifted uncoscious, thinking of Ara. I knew, that it would only be a matter of hours, and Ara would be erased from almost everyone's mind. Apart from Jyll's, and mine. Maybe Sealantus. Leigh and I vowed, in Ara's honour, that we would forever call Sealantus his name of Calamari Fish Face.

New Delhi, Apr 25: In the wake of the appeal for reconstruction by the panel probing the land grabbing and graft charges againts Karnataka High Court Chief Justice PD Dinakaran, the probe into the matter may be delayed.
The Committee made the appeal following the elevation of Justice AR Dave to the Supreme Court.
As per the impeachement proceedings, the Committee probing the charges should consist of a sitting judge of the Supreme Court, the chief justice of a high court and an eminent jurist.
Currently, Committee constituted by the Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari, comprises of justice VS Sirpurkar of the Supreme Court, justice AR Dave, chief justice of the Bombay High Court, and eminent jurist PP Rao.
However, the Committee in its meeting held at the residence of justice Sirpurkar, is said to have made a decision to write to Rajya Sabha chairperson for the reconstruction of the panel in the wake of Justice Dave's elevation to the Supreme Court.
The Committee was set up by Ansari following the submission of notice of motion for starting impeachment proceedings against justice Dinakaran by MPs from BJP, Left Parties, Samajwadi Party, Janata Dal (United), Akali Dal and AIADMK.
The Rajya Sabha Chairman admitted the motion on Dec 17, 2009.
As per the Constutional law, judges of the Supreme Court and the High Court can be removed from office only through impeachment in Parliament.
Justice Dinakaran has been alleged of corruption, land-grabbing, abuse of judicial office and disproportionate assets.
