Scourged Whelplings - a midnight spawn
29 comments:
Aww really so cute! What level is this one?ReplyDeleteReplies
It's a level 20 or so I think, but I had great difficulty finding one in Icecrown (it's part of the Northrend Safari achievement). Only two to go!Delete
Grats on your Whelpling! I wonder if those Miniferals keep odd hours too.ReplyDeleteReplies
If they do could someone please tell me what time? :DDelete
So I noticed something the other day, when I was on an alt. I noticed that all the work I had done on my main, with battle pets, was available to my alts. Okay, that seemed odd, but whatever.ReplyDelete
So how do you go about working your battle pets on your alts and your main?Replies
When patch 5.0 hit, all pets and mounts became account wide - which was great for me so all your pets are shared across all toons (they all have the same special names you gave them as well). I use my alt (who is a mage) to get around to places quickly by porting, and because I don't level her, I can just park her in places for camping. Navimie is always running around questing or doing something, so I hate camping with her, but camping is good when I'm at work :)Delete
Gratz! And you are so clever!Delete
Let me know if you ever need an Alliance bodyguard!Delete
LOL I was so excited running in I wasn't looking at mobs as usual! Silly Miniices!Delete
Grats again on the whelp!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks to you for giving me faith in their existence :)Delete
That looks nothing like I expected. I blame myself for completely ignoring the "Scourge" portion of the name apparently.ReplyDelete
Congrats! As my highest pet at the moment is level 9, I foresee no need to rush to find one of these. :)Replies
Santa, "They really do exist?"ReplyDeleteReplies
I may have to eat my words! I went back and they were all gone at midnight on both servers. I will look again tonight.Delete

Ron Artest had a few lonely moments in the locker room while his new teammates collected their championship rings.
But then it was game time and he suddenly found himself in the same mix as 11 other ring-bearing champions (Pau Gasol didn't play) and he desperately tried to fit in. Sometimes he tried too hard, especially on offense.
Artest missed 7 of 10 shots and 4 of 7 free throws and came away with just 10 points in 41 minutes. Not exactly a stellar start to his own championship run. He said his first game with the Lakers was "cool. We won."
Defensively was another story for Artest. He limited Clippers' Al Thorton to eight points on 4-for-11 shooting and pulled down four defensive rebounds.
"Ron did really well," Phil Jackson said. "I thought he shut down defensively really well. Some offensive things he had opportunities on he didn't complete, but I thought he looked like he was in the mix and knew what what going on most of the time and (he) felt comfortable with what we were trying to do."

7 Things An Autism Mom Wants You to Know About Autism
In honor of Autism Awareness month, what everyone should know about autism.
-April Daniels Hussar
"Being a mom to a child with autism has inspired me in ways I would have never imagined," says Denise D'Ecclessis, a mother of two boys, Angelo, 19, and Vincent, 13, who is on the autism spectrum. "Inspiration" and "autism" might not be words that you normally think of as going together, but in honor of World Autism Day and Autism Awareness month, we asked Denise, who is the founder of the Love for Autism Facebook community, to share a little bit about her experience with the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S.
Autism now affects 1 in 88 children (and 1 in 54 boys). When Denise and her husband first received Vincent's diagnosis, she says they were devastated. "No parent wants to hear that their child has a developmental disorder," she shares. But, she says, "I do not think our family could have ever known the blessing our son would turn out to be."
Isn't that how all parents feel about their children? That they are blessings — no matter what might (or might not) set them apart from other kids. Denise says that son has helped her grow as an individual, and learn to "embrace life for all its differences."
Denise says that the hardest part, for her, about autism is her fear for the future. "Who will take care of my son and look out for him, and love him the way we do?" she asks. And, like all parents, she wishes she could help keep her child from struggling. "We just want life to be easier for them," she says of both her children.
With the goal of making life for everyone affected by autism — parents and children alike — a little bit easier, here are 7 things that Denise wants to share with you. As Denise says, "Let's shine a light upon this cause and help these beautiful, intelligent children feel accepted."
1. No two children are alike
Remember: if you know one child with autism, you know one child. Autism is a spectrum that covers a range of developmental disabilities. I have worked with children in early intervention for more than ten years and no two cases can be treated the same.
2. A nonverbal child still has something to say
Just because some children on the spectrum can't use their voices does not mean they can't find ways to communicate. With all the technology out today, nonverbal children can hold a complete conversation with you.
3. Autism families don't need pity — they need understanding and compassion
I never want anyone to feel sorry for me or my child. I have told people in the past that he is happy and loved. He understands how you react in front of him, so the more calm and relaxed you are, the more he will be. I also teach my children, in this life to be healthy and happy is everything, so do not pity anyone!
4. Autism in not the parents' fault
Parenting has nothing to do with how your child got autism, but everything to do with how they develop and gain skills.
5. What you say matters
Just because children with autism may not speak or may repeat phrases, doesn't mean they don't understand you. They may not be great at social interactions, but they can understand more than they let on. On that note, please be careful what you say around them.
6. Your judgement can hurt
When you see a child acting out, please don't stare and make the family uncomfortable. There are a number of reasons that child may be behaving that way. Sounds and noises can be very difficult for a child with autism. Staring at the parent and / or child is hurtful. What the family could use is a welcoming smile to let them know you understand.
7. Trust your instincts
If you have concerns with your child's development please don't ignore them. As scary as it may seem to face, do not allow fear to stand in your way. Having your child evaluated at a very young age will help you get the support needed through early intervention, which in turn will help pave the way toward your child's success in the future.
About Denise D'Ecclessis:
I have an active role in spreading awareness and you can learn more about my dedication on my face book page at Love for Autism. Please take some time this month to educate yourselves on autism. There are many ways you can show you care by attending a fundraiser, reading a book in your child's class, babysitting for a child on the spectrum to give the parents a break, or even just putting a blue light bulb from Home Depot on your front porch to let the autism community know you support them.

Schmallenberg virus has been associated with brief mild/moderate disease (milk drop, pyrexia, diarrhea) in adult cattle and late abortion or birth defects in newborn cattle, sheep and goats, and has made an emergence in the European Union.
Defra, the U.K. government department responsible for policy and regulations on the environment, food and rural affairs, says all the evidence currently suggests that Schmallenberg virus was brought into the U.K. from infected midges blown across the Channel. The disease has not been shown to be transmissible to humans.
US precautions
Though Schmallenberg has not been found in the United States, USDA-APHIS has placed some additional restrictions on imports of ruminant germplasm from the EU.
A USDA-APHIS import alert issued Feb. 21 said: Shipments of bovine semen or embryos collected in EU countries after June 1, 2011 are not eligible for importation to the U.S. To be eligible for importation, any consignments of bovine germplasm originating from EU countries and that are presented for entry to the U.S. must include a statement on the official export health certificate indicating that the commodities were collected prior to June 1, 2011.
Such consignments must continue to meet all other applicable APHIS import requirements. Shipments of bovine germplasm not meeting these eligibility criteria will be refused entry by Veterinary Services port personnel.
Additionally, USDA Chief Veterinary Officer John Clifford, DVM, said in a statement: "USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is taking action to mitigate the entry of Schmallenberg virus, a pathogen that has been reported from a number of European Union countries since late 2011 but is not known to exist in the United States.
"Schmallenberg virus is thought to be spread by insect vectors and affects several species of ruminants. While live ruminants are not currently eligible for importation from the EU, the United States does import bovine germplasm (semen and embryos) and is negotiating a protocol for ovine and caprine germplasm. Although not known at this time, it is possible the virus may be present in germplasm and infective to recipient animals.
"After reviewing the situation, APHIS has decided to place restrictions on the imports of bovine, ovine, and caprine germplasm from the EU. These restrictions may be adjusted as more information about the virus becomes available.
"Beginning in late 2011, Schmallenberg virus was reported by Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Infection can cause transient disease resulting in significant production loss and high percentages of fetal deformities and abortions. The virus is not believed to affect humans."

Topic: MD Anderson and Cooper
For those of us in the NJ, PA, NY area... I just heard a commercial saying MD Anderson Cancer Center and Cooper Medical Center have teamed up. "You will now have access to MD Anderson's many cancer specialists and clinical trials"!!!
It's definitely worth checking out for those of us within a couple of hours drive!
"Don't just have minutes in the day; have moments in time."
Any opinions I give are based on personal experiences, and are not based on medical knowledge. I strongly suggest receiving medical care and opinions.

Postcards from Canada
Cricinfo Exclusive on Cricket in PEI
August 20, 2011
One of the loveliest aspects of Newfoundland is its relaxed pace of life. Much like Inzamam-ul-Haq between the wickets, things rarely move in a hurry. For worse as well as better, though, it can sometimes feel like you're living a couple of decades out of sync with the rest of the world. City-wide recycling only came to St John's last year, while there aren't cycle lanes yet. And as cyclists and recyclists are much more numerous than cricketers, it seems risky to expect the local authorities to jump on our bandwagon with wild abandon.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This card was perfect for the birdal shower I was giving. The bride's wedding colors are navy blue and whiite, so these were just right for the occasion. I added the pearl shimmer and that added a nice touch to the card."
"The card is simple yet delivers high quality with a bang! The choice given to create a card unique to individual style with one card is such a great thing as well!!"
"The invitation is beautiful and all the other Bridesmaids are thrilled with the selection! The invite mirrors how it looks online!"
"This card is absolutely elegant! Take their advice about the envelopes to save on postage it was perfect! As soon as I started getting responses everyone commented on how beautiful the invitations were."
"I was looking for an invite that would be appropriate for the Hyannis Yacht Club When I saw this invite and knew I could change from black or light blue to Navy, White and Gold I was thrilled. I love the fact that I could change the edges too. The card stock is sturdy and the ability to put a photo of the bride and groom to be on the back was perfect! Many compliments from recipients! The FREE RVSP site is wonderful too! I am tracking who is coming and they are commenting on their choice of menu as well! EASY! I am holding 2 showers a week apart for both daughter in laws to be - and used Wedding Paper Divas for both Showers! I used this site for my daughter's shower and wedding invitations last summer too!"

Did you know?
Ndebele women paint with chicken feathers − and their fingers − when decorating their homesteads.
Legendary artist Esther Mahlangu of Mpumalanga province put Ndebele culture on the world map in 1991 when she decorated a new BMW 525i in glorious technicolour 'homestead' style.
When it came 11th in the prestigious Art Car Collection, this eye-catching 'Ndebele-mobile' gave the German car manufacturer a true out-of-Africa promotion. Everyone was curious about those amazing patterns and colour combinations.
But if you want a taste of real Ndebele style in a down-to-earth situation, then head for Mapoch Ndebele Cultural Village, 40km north-west of Pretoria.
Mapoch wasn't built for tourists: it's a living Ndebele village famous for welcoming visitors in its midst. You can go for an hour-long walking tour and a longer cycling trip.
During your walkabout − guided by a local villager − you'll find out how the Ndebele culture came into being. You'll have a background brief on Ndebele architecture, wall-painting traditions, art and beadwork. You'll also get to hear about the Ndebeles' Zulu roots, their legendary war heroes, ways of the homestead and the many rituals that make up their lives.
The bicycle tour of the Mapoch Ndebele Cultural Village includes visits to a local pre-school, church, shebeen, a village home and a rather interesting 'sandbag house'.
You can stay overnight in the community-run lodge, which has eight twin rooms with basic but comfortable amenities. Even meals can be arranged, on a booking basis.
And if a little boy comes running up to you, urgently telling of some small family misfortune that requires your immediate assistance, it's not necessarily a cause for alarm. It may just be one of the endearingly hospitable customs: a ploy to lure you over for a welcoming party that could last well into the night.

A WOMAN's dying wish was fulfilled when her £650,000 legacy was left to Worcestershire hospitals to support heart and cancer services.
The generous gift was left to Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust by Dorothy Hackney who recently passed away at the age of 92.
She chose to leave her legacy to the trust following the care of her husband at Worcestershire Royal Hospital in Worcester, who was diagnosed with incurable bone marrow cancer, myeloma.
Bone marrow is the spongy tissue found at the centre of some bones. It produces the body's blood cells. Myeloma affects the cells inside the bone marrow, which are an important part of the immune system.
Although Dorothy lived in Penmark, Wales, she often visited Worcestershire with her husband on holiday. It was during one of these holidays that she witnessed the care doctors and nurses of Worcestershire Royal Hospital in Worcester were able to give to her husband.
To show their appreciation, the trust has arranged for a plaque to be placed in Dorothy's memory in the foyer of the hospital.
Close friend and executor of Dorothy's will, Graham Hunt said: "Since her husband's treatment at the hospital Dorothy knew she wanted her money to go towards helping other patients with myeloma. She always went on about how kind everyone was to both her and her husband throughout his care."
Consultant haematologist, Dr Salim Shafeek treats patients with myeloma and other forms of blood cancer. He said: "Myeloma is a growing condition that is difficult to treat. Without research we can't progress on these incurable conditions. This great donation to our research means we can continue to bring better care to our patients. Every penny will go towards improving patient care, whether through developments to equipment and facilities or by setting up more local research trials."
The money will also be going towards Worcestershire's heart services. Dr Jasper Trevelyan, consultant cardiologist said "This donation will help us provide first class care in cardiology. Over the last eight years we have invested in a new cardiac catheter lab and moved on to 24/7 services for emergency heart attack care. This money will allow us to invest in and expand our services even further for our patients."

About this blog
Posters and Election Propaganda
A blog dedicated to the examination of communications in election campaigns, with a focus on posters
Tagged as "Swift Boat"
Monday, September 22, 2008
In early nineteenth-century America, negative advertising and distortion of candidate records were all practiced in politics—in partisan newspapers, broadsides, and posters. Today, this is mainly conducted on the Internet and with TV spot ads.
Vinny Minchillo (Chief Creative Officer, Scott Howell & Company) says that presidential advertising is like auto advertising. Here are the similarities, according to him (in Advertising Age, September 19, 2008):
- "Both decisions come with a commitment of two, four or six years"
- "Potential customers are engaged for a short period of time"
- "People actually do their homework before committing"
- "People want us to believe they decide based on facts, when it's really an emotional decision"
- "There's plenty of negative advertising"
The key for shoppers—for presidents and cars—writes Minchillo, is to "make a connection to the brand that is both logical and emotional." There are a number of important questions asked by these shoppers, but perhaps the most important ones are "How will this car make me look?" and "What will my friends say when I reveal my candidate choice?" Minchillo states that Obama—"a stunning orator and tremendous narrator"— is a "Ferrari"; McCain—"with tons of experience and decent qualifications"—is a "Toyota Camry."
Then there is the "comparative advertising" between "products." Although surveys have indicated that many voters dislike negative political ads, researchers have shown that they are often effective. Two of the most successful were the Willie Horton spots in 1988 and those by the Swift Boat Veterans in 2004.
The most malicious video spots are not even shown on television; rather they are posted online. Both TV and online spots have been financed by so-called "527 groups." These groups can raise unlimited funds independent of the authorized groups supporting candidates and parties, but must disclose donors. One 527 group, calling itself the "Brave New PAC" targeted John McCain with a spot attempting to tarnish his "hero" image as a Vietnam POW. Here it is:
An anti-Obama spot, posted by "Our Country PAC," called into question the Democrat's "patriotism." Here it is:
These are just two. You can find many more out there.

Crew Members:
On 8 February 1971, South Vietnamese President Thieu announced Lam Son 719, a large-scale offensive against enemy communications and supply lines in that part of Laos adjacent to the two northern provinces of South Vietnam along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. When North Vietnam began to increase its military strength in South Vietnam, NVA and Viet Cong troops again intruded on neutral Laos for sanctuary, as the Viet Minh had done during the war with the French some years before. This border road was used by the Communists to transport weapons, supplies and troops from North Vietnam into South Vietnam, and was frequently no more than a path cut through the jungle covered mountains. US forces used all assets available to them to stop this flow of men and supplies from moving south into the war zone.
Lam Son 719 was intended to interdict the flow of supplies from North Vietnam. The South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) would provide and command ground forces, while US military would provide airlift and supporting fire. Phase I, renamed Operation Dewey Canyon II, involved an armored attack by the US from Firebase Vandergrift Base Camp toward Khe Sanh, while the ARVN moved into position for the attack across the Laotian border. Phase II began with an ARVN helicopter assault and armored brigade thrust along Route 9 into Laos. ARVN ground troops were transported by American helicopters, while the US Air Force provided cover strikes around the designated landing zones.
On 20 February 1971, as part of Lam Son 719, CWO Jon E. "Jake" Reed, pilot; 1Lt. David M. May, Co-pilot; Sgt. Randolph L. Johnson, crew chief; and then Cpl. Robert J. Acalotto, door gunner; comprised the crew of a UH1C gunship (tail # 66-700) that was providing air cover for a multi-aircraft emergency resupply mission to ARVN troops engaged in heavy combat with communist forces in Savannakhet Province, Laos. All helicopters from the 48th AHC used the call sign "Joker."
As CWO Reid directed suppressive fire on an enemy position, the Huey was struck in the tail boom by .51 caliber ground fire and made a forced landing on the east edge of dense jungle that was bordered to its east and south by elephant grass, bamboo groves and shrubs. This sector was also laced with roads, trails and footpaths of all sizes that formed an intricate maze used by the NVA as they moved through Laos. The Huey landed upright on its skids, with its tail boom broken off and the right aft section on fire. The loss location was on the southeast side of Highway 914 and 10 miles south of Highway 911, both of which were major arteries in the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The location was also 21 miles southeast of Tchepone, Laos and 24 miles southwest of Khe Sanh, South Vietnam.
Another Huey piloted by WO Stephen Knowles attempted to land nearby to rescue the downed aircrew, but his aircraft was driven off by intense enemy gunfire. However, before pulling away from the crash site, WO Knowles' crew hurriedly conducted a visual inspection of the wreckage. They saw that the pilot's door had been jettisoned and later reported that they thought both the pilot's and co-pilot's seats were empty. They also saw two people, who they believed to be the door gunner and crew chief, exit the aircraft through a side cargo door and run into the trees. Over the next several days many rescue attempts were made, but each was unsuccessful due to the heavy fighting that continued throughout the sector. At the time the formal search was terminated, Jake Reid, David May, Randolph Johnson and Robert Acalotto were declared Missing in Action.
Jake Reid, David May, Randolph Johnson and Robert Acalotto are among the nearly 600 Americans who disappeared in Laos. Like this aircrew, many of these men were known to be alive on the ground. The Laotians admitted holding "tens of tens" of American Prisoners of War, but they were never negotiated for either by direct negotiations between our countries or through the Paris Peace Accords which ended the Vietnam War since the Laotians were not a party to that agreement.
Through the debriefing statements of returned POWs gathered after Operation Homecoming, Jake Reid was reported to have been captured and alive in captivity in March, May and June 1971. It is not known if other members of the crew were also held in the same POW camp.
In 1992, a National Security Agency (NSA) correlation study of all communist radio intercepts pertaining to missing Americans, which was presented to the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs in a classified format, was finally declassified and made public. According to this document, 4 North Vietnamese radio messages were intercepted and correlated to this incident. The NSA synopsis states:" … of Battalion 4 used infantry weapons and shot down one helicopter. No crew status." Another part of the report added: "Captured one 2nd Lieutenant and one Aspirant. Note: possibly (name is blacked out), and Warrant Officer Reid."
In January 1994, a joint US/Lao team under the auspices of the Joint Task Force for Full Accounting (JTFFA) traveled to Savannakhet Province, Laos to investigate this loss incident. The team found nothing conclusive at the official crash site coordinates. However, while interviewing residents of a nearby village, a man provided them with information about another crash site. The team traveled to the new location and found that it had been almost completely scavenged. Even so, they found a few pieces of aircraft wreckage, but found no evidence to link this site directly to CWO Reid's aircraft.
In October 1996, another JTFFA team returned to that crash site location. In addition to conducting more witness interviews, the team dug a test pit. They found enough material evidence in it to warrant the team recommending this site be scheduled for excavation in the future.
In late March 1998, a third team lead by civilian anthropologist Bradley Sturm returned again to the site to conduct a full scale excavation. They cleared the area of trees and under growth, and established a search grid over it. On the third day, the team found a fragment of David May's dog tag. Over the next weeks, they found and recovered the remaining pieces of 1st Lt. May's dog tag, pieces of a wristwatch, a key, a pen cap, approximately 90 bone fragments and 3 teeth/tooth fragments.
On 13 April 1998, the crash site excavation was closed. Shortly thereafter all possible human remains were transported to the US Army's Central Identification Laboratory, Hawaii (CIL-HI) for examination.
On 9 November 1999, the families were notified that remains attributable to David May and Jake Reid had been positively identified. For Jake Reid, two of the teeth matched his dental radiographs and the third tooth matched those of David May. Some of the larger bone fragments underwent DNA analysis. The test results supported finding individual DNA sequencing in some of the bone fragments that matched samples provided by each of the men's families.
When asking questions related to their men's survival intelligence, the Reid and May families learned hard lesions. As in other cases where intelligence information indicated a specific POW/MIA was alive on the ground after his loss and/or was reported to be alive in captivity and later identifiable remains were recovered during a crash site excavation, the US government had no answers to explain away the validity of the live intelligence information the US Government had in its possession for years verses its current premise that the man died in or shortly after the loss with his remains being left in or buried near the wreckage.
On Friday, 14 January 2000, all remains associated with CWO Reid and 1st Lt. May with the exception of the 2 teeth identified as belonging to Jake Reid were buried in Arlington National Cemetery under a headstone baring both men's names. CWO Reid's teeth were interred later that spring in the family plot in Idaho with his parents.
While the fate of David May and Jake Reid is resolved and their families and friends of the peace of mind of knowing where their loved one lies, only unanswered questions remain for Randolph Johnson and Robert Acalotto. If they died as a result of the loss of their helicopter, they have the right to have their remains returned to their families, friends and country. However, if their were able to exit the downed Huey as witness statements indicate, they most certainly could have been captured and their fate, like that of other Americans who remain unaccounted for in Southeast Asia, could be quite different. Either way there is no doubt communist forces openly operating in this region could return the men or their remains any time they had the desire to do so.

Great until it wasnt
A super awesome hammock. Super light, super compressible. It was amazing till it decided to explode and put my ass on the ground.
Probably had some tiny little hole that made it fail catastrophically. I think I had it for 2 years, not long.
Came to NZ with me
Hiked all around New Zealand with this. Packs to the size of a baseball. Super light.
Boss Hammock!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Cant beat this hammock. Super light, tough as nails. Good biners, packs small. Buy it!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After many nights in many conditions, it's still going strong. I'm 6'2", 160lbs, and I sleep on my back and side with a sleeping mat in the hammock. I sleep like a baby and I trust the workmanship and material on long hikes and long bike trips.
I am not that gentle with it. I aggressively grab the sides to get in, and I place my weight in rather quickly when I'm tired, but it still holds up just fine.
Great product!
Super Light!
This hammock is super light and packs down super small and you don't hardly notice it in your pack, yet it is still just as strong as your standard ENO, Hammock Bliss, or other Grand Trunk hammocks!. I would definitely recommend this to a friend!
I took this on a four night hike in Glacier NP in Montana. I was unsure initially whether to take it given the additional weight but after a couple of 14 mile days I did not regret it in the least. If I want to make my pack lighter I am going to be finding other places to do it. This is going to be a staple in my pack whenever I am hiking for years to come. Nothing beats putting your feet up after ten miles. Plus its great for just lounging around your yard at home. Packs lighter than any Crazy Creek camp chair out there.
THE lightweight hammock set up
This is the one you want if you want to backpack fast and light. Comes with a couple of great biners that should promptly be replaced with amsteel loops. Pick up some whoopie slings and some tree savers - find the light weight ones - and you could be rolling at under 10 ozs. Do a little research on line to find some hammock specialists to source your suspension system. You'll save quite a bit of weight. If I use all the bells and whistles, including "Dutch" hardware I'm still out at 11.5 ozs. It all starts though with the Grand Trunk Nano-7.
Almost four years after my original review the two GT Nano - 7's I bought are still going strong on periodic backpacking trips. While I've added ridgelines to get a more diagonal lie, they are still very light and very comfortable for those under 6 ft. tall. If I needed more I wouldn't hesitate to but again.
The New Sleep system:
This hammock coupled with the Integral Designs Siltarp 1 and ENO pro slapstraps make for an UL sleep system worthy of any of the long trails. This hammock is deceivingly sturdy.
siltarp 1 is too small to keep you dry man
which one is it? I would be interested in a setup like this, but I want to get it right.

This Thing Is Rad!!!
When I first picked one of these things up I thought there is no way that this is a hammock. It definitely can't support my body weight. But I now use it instead of a camp chair, folding chair. Sometimes I even use it for my sleep system. Its actually the first hammock that I have ever seen that uses better than standard carabiners.

Will the Nano hold a 6'-5", 195 lb guy?
Will the Nano hold a 6'-5", 195 lb guy?
Yes! This hammock is rated to hold 300lbs
Your weight at 195 lbs. isn't an issue with the Nano-7. I'm usually at 225+ and hang no problem. Your height like mine is where the issue arises. IMO anyone over 5'10", maybe 6', is going to have a tough time getting anything like a traditional diagonal lay in this hammock. I have two of these hammocks for scout sons. They are great for backpacking hangs until the boys start to get on the large side. I've moved two sons into custom, cottage manufacturer, hammocks as they struggle to get a flat, diagonal lay at the 5'10" and 200+ size. Your experience may vary.
Does anyone have a confirmed scale weight...
Does anyone have a confirmed scale weight on this hammock? And/or comparison to the ENO single or double nest, including packed size and comfort? I am greedy with the grams :)
Backpacker.com also lists the weight as 6.7 oz, and they normally are pretty thorough and will comment if the listed weight is off. Here is the link to the summary.
What's the weight limit? Do you sweat...
What's the weight limit?
Do you sweat a lot laying against the silnylon fabric?
How diagonal can you get, and what is your height? I see a lot of "banana" going on in the photos.
Capacity is 300lbs. Silnylon feels fine against the skin as it is not 100% impervious. I'm 5'10'' and I fit fine diagonally, not too much banana. Buy it. You won't regret it.
what is a the best choice for a strap to...
what is a the best choice for a strap to hang it?
It comes with madrock carabiners, and I would use tubular webbing to hang it up. It will be a reliable and fairly cheap option.

Coming off their worst home loss in 31 years, the Minnesota Vikings barely had time to catch their icy breath before heading to the warmth of Arizona.
Now, beaten up and missing three of their best defensive players, the Vikings must meet one of the hottest teams in the NFL.
Meanwhile, heading into their Thursday night matchup, the Cardinals (10-2) are on a roll. Coach Bruce Arians' high-scoring outfit has won six straight, the franchise's longest winning streak in 41 years. Only Carolina (12-0) has a better record.
The Cardinals have a two-game lead over Minnesota and Green Bay for the No. 2 seed in the NFC, which carries a first-round bye.
Despite their offensive struggles – the Vikings are ranked 30th – Minnesota is in the thick of the postseason conversation at 8-4 and tied with Green Bay atop the NFC North. But that 38-7 loss at home to the Seahawks lurks uncomfortably close in the rearview mirror.
Expect the Vikings to give Adrian Peterson the ball a bit more last week. The NFL's leading rusher with 1,182 yards this season managed just 8 in nine carries as Minnesota abandoned the running game after falling far behind Seattle early.
Peterson said the Vikings were "outplayed and outcoached" by the Seahawks.
Arizona will be making its fourth prime-time appearance of the season, and third in the last five weeks. The Cardinals have one more coming up: The NFL has flexed the Dec. 20 game against Philadelphia to Sunday night.

I thought BlackBerry's marketing event unveiling the BlackBerry Z10 and the truly new BlackBerry 10 OS was already way over the top. I even tweeted from the New York event how nuts it was, treating the product unveiling as if it were the resurrection of John Lennon. But then CEO Thorsten Heins showed there was an even greater height of marketing fluff to be reached.
In an event meant to showcase the BlackBerry 10 OS that is hoped to revive the stale BlackBerry platform, he concluded with the dumbfounding announcement that R&B pop star and sometimes-actress Alicia Keys was joining the company as its global creative director. Keys was there, speaking all the right lines about seeing the errors of her ways in her dalliance with the never named iPhone and returning to her steady flame, the BlackBerry. She even participated in a press conference. Never mind that she, or at least her publicist acting on her behalf, tweeted from her iPhone that very day.
[ Subscribe to InfoWorld's Consumerization of IT newsletter today. ]
Not only unreal, it was a bizarre publicity stunt that in many ways overshadowed the key news: the BlackBerry itself. It felt like a deliberate attempt to change the subject from the solid but ultimately not-game-changing BlackBerry 10 OS. However, the Keys hire (I suspect it won't be a long-term arrangement) points out a key shift in technology today that does matter.
It's a shift toward user experience, one that pundits and analysts have been proclaiming for years. Though a trendy topic with its own acronym (UX), user experience has gained little traction in the real world of both consumer and business product development beyond a few companies, such as Apple, most notably, and TiVo. Everyone talks the talk, but very few walk the walk.
Too many organizations -- vendors, IT developers, and independent developers -- have a tin ear when it comes to user experience. Either they don't understand how their products are used by regular people, or they don't care. Many make the mistake of confusing "user experience" with "pretty" or "hip," so they decorate their products rather than make them workable. That's lipstick on a pig.
Keys showed some of that naïveté in her BlackBerry news conference, suggesting that she would help make future BlackBerrys more appealing to women. I hope that doesn't mean pink or gem-studded BlackBerrys, the usual clichés for what women want. She should first ask whether women relate to smartphones differently than men, then explore why (if so). But Keys is a very talented artist and businessperson, so I suspect her thinking will go deeper than that, despite the shallow comments.
User experience involves understanding how things work, how to make them work easier, and transferring the complexity away from the user without dumbing down the product. That was Steve Jobs' genius at Apple, but he isn't the only person who can think that way.

Stampede in Hardwar spares Nagpurians
1200 devotees left the city to attend 100th year celebration of religious Guru. 16 people were killed but everyone from nagpur was safe. The accident happened when thousands of devotees gathered around the fire to make offerings. The stampede took place due to over crowded population gathered to make offerings to the holy fire.
Nitin Gadkari visited the place to meet nagpurians. Everyone had a miraculous escape and it is great that no one was killed in the stampede.

Services set for mom, twins killed in fire
Updated 11:52 am, Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Funeral arrangements have been set for a mother and her twin boys who were killed in a fire at their Southwest Bexar County home last month.
Roxanne Ordonez, 31, and her 1-year-old twin sons, Orlin Jr. and Daniel, were killed in a blaze at their house in the 8100 block of Pearsall Road the afternoon of Feb. 25.
A public viewing has been scheduled for 7 p.m. today at Beacon Hill Baptist Church, 612 Fredericksburg Road.
The public also is invited to the funeral, which will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Beacon Hill Baptist Church, followed by a procession to San Jose Burial Park Cemetery at Mission Road and March Avenue.
The family has planned a ceremony with purple balloons — Roxanne Ordonez's favorite color — and a mariachi performance.
News Channel
Ordonez previously was identified as Roxanne Cortez by relatives, but officials with the medical examiner's office Tuesday said her last name is that of her husband, Orlin Ordonez Sr.
The mother and two boys also are survived by the Ordonezes two daughters, Karizma, 11, and Selena, 3.

The conference, which was in French, was realized with the help of Service Islamique de la Jeunesse de Belgique (Belgian Youth Islamic Services) organization. During the conference, there was a live connection with Mr. Adnan Oktar and the organization's chairman Iliass Azaouaj asked questions to the author about subjects such as his life, his intellectual struggle and advice for Muslim youth.

Today is World No Tobacco Day, and smokers who quit today could be enjoying a better level of fitness by this time next week.
Quit Executive Director Todd Harper says research has found that quitting reaps almost instant rewards in physical performance; the results of one study found that quitting increased exercise capacity in as little as 7 days.
'Australians love their sport, but smoking has a big impact on fitness. It's not surprising that research shows smokers are less likely to be physically active than non-smokers.'
'Many smokers may be avoiding the physical activity they'd like to be doing because their smoking is leaving them with less puff, so today on World No Tobacco Day we're urging smokers to quit and be fit.'
'The good news for smokers is that research has shown that exercise can actually help you quit. The results of one US study revealed that people who exercised were twice as likely to quit smoking and stay smokefree as those who didn't.'
'It's also been found that that exercise can actually help smokers deal with cravings - studies have found that craving can be less marked in people who exercise compared to people who don't.'
Mr Harper says to tie in with World No Tobacco Day's Quit and be fit' theme, a free World No Tobacco Day Quit pack available from the Quitline includes a gym voucher to the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, as well as other items to help smokers stay quit for good.
'When people quit smoking they often adopt other healthy behaviours, like regular exercise or healthy eating. So quitting can be the first step in developing a healthier lifestyle.'
'No matter how long you've been smoking, when you quit, you'll feel the benefits straight away as your body starts to repair itself.'
Mr Harper says World No Tobacco Day is a popular time for smokers to think about quitting, and estimates that thousands of Victorian smokers will try to quit today.
'Setting a date to quit is an important part of a successful quit attempt, and I'd encourage any smoker thinking of quitting to call the Quitline on 131 848 and get a free World No Tobacco Day Quit pack.'
'Research shows over three quarters of smokers have tried to quit at least once, and the chances are that if you can quit for one day you can quit for good.
'I'd encourage anyone who wants to quit to think about going smokefree' even if it's just for today, World No Tobacco Day.'

Jun 30: $0.20 BLO.C Marijuana breathalyzer technology started trading on Jun 26. Hearing heavy promo lineup including MAJOR media.
West Point Resources is a recently re-purposed company which started trading under the symbol BLO.C on the CNSX on Jun 26. The co is developing a marijuana breathalyzer device and they have already generated a lot of attention from major media outlets. Given the recent momentum toward legalization of marijuana, the timing for this company going public couldn't be better.
I'm hearing a lot of interest for this play from multiple sources. Heavy promo is on the way. Potential:
Hello readers. My (now ex) hosting provider decided to shut down so I had to scurry and transfer my blog to Amazon's AWS S3 service. Hopefully Amazon will be slightly more stable. Unfortunately all my articles are currently sitting in an archive on my storage device and I'm not sure when I'll have the time to restore the articles about our glorious investment history :).
Investment wise, I am very excited about the Canadian biotech market. I am expecting a few stories to have big developments in 2014. $ICO.V is of course due to report back on Phase II trial data for the ICO007 diabetic macular edema trial. This is an interesting trial which I think ICO will easily claim some sort of success on. $KNE.V has had a tremendous amount of success with their animal product and is a prime candidate for a takeover. At $0.08 the stock is near all times low and well worth the investment risk for a huge reward. $TLT.V is one of my favorite companies at the time. The company is run by a well-known management team, and given the recent promo moves they clearly know how to excite the investment community. This one can easily give us multiple returns. $BTI.V is of course a long time favorite in the crowd. For a long while it has attracted the attention of the big pharmas due to its ability to ferry medicines across the blood brain barrier. Well worth buying under $1 and holding for a news event.
Thanks for stopping by. Join me in conversation on Twitter by clicking here.
My second biotech pick for the year is Ico Therapeutics (ICO.V). Ico is expected to complete its large phase II study for the ico-007 diabetic macular edema drug by the end of q1 2014.
Ico's drug is aimed at the very lucrative ocular market, possibly as a complement/competitor to the $2bn Lucentis drug. Last year the stock hit $0.89 on excitement surrounding expectation of preliminary results. I expect to see the start of similar excitement and momentum buildup very soon. The risk is limited with the strong support at these levels, and the upside looks promising for Ico and its paltry $22m market-cap valuation.
The price has been depressed of late due to a recent financing, as well as the 8m warrants expiring on Nov 2, 2013. I view this as a quick buying opportunity in the mid $0.30s.
Until next time,

Another prevention tool that has been used with a bystander framework is interactive theater. The advantage of this tool is that it can reach large audiences like social marketing campaigns but in a more active learning modality like smaller education programs. There are a number of examples of these on college campuses and all have been or are in the process of being evaluated with promising results so far.
Here are a few examples:

It's never fun getting a virus (or other similar errors) on your computer. These errors are not only annoying, they are often preventable!
The cause of many of these issues on a computer is user error, files being moved accidentally, or files being damaged in some other fashion. When any of these occur, the risks for errors and system damage increase.
According to Wikipedia, computer viruses cause billions of dollars in damages every year. That's insane! This money is largely spent to fix and repair the errors and damages AFTER they occur. Why not work to prevent them from happening in the first place!?
UPDATE December 2016: When working to get malware removed from your system, you want to make sure to use trusted malware removal programs. If you fail to use the most reputable programs, you can cause additional system damage.
Here's a few details about viruses and how you can go about preventing them from popping up on your computer.
One of the programs many experts recommend is called RegCure Pro. It's a program that is supposed to keep your registry working properly. Additionally, it has other scans it performs to help keep your computer running smoothly and effectively.
Here's a quick video review about the program itself:
When researching the RegCure program, you can find other details reviews and write-ups about it too. Here's a resource to read about does regcure pro work? After reading the details about it, you can decide whether or not you should buy the program to use all the time on your system.
One of the more common errors people get on their computers is with the dwm process. It's named for the Desktop Windows Manager on Microsoft and the file is actually called dwm.exe. The issue happens when people have too many files (taking up too much space) on the desktop. Additionally, it can be caused similarly to the other reasons listed above – like errors, damaged files, or moving files around.
If you do notice a dwm error on your machine, it's best to read more about it and see why it might be happening to you. Here is a great place you can find more information about it: errorBoss.com/exe-files/dwm-exe
After looking through those resources, you should have a great idea about the error itself, how to prevent it, and the causes of some other errors on your system too.
For more details on other system files or other tips to keep your computer running smoothly, be sure to do some additional research so you can stay on top of the latest errors, viruses, and dangerous stuff that happens or can happen to your computer.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated October 11th, 2011
ALEXANDER MURINSON: I would like to ask about the possibility to restart the very good and warm relations between the people of Israel and the people in Turkey like you write in your books about the Turkish world. Because Turkey is becoming a leader in the Turkish world today and people look up to Turkey and so I would like to see how we could restore the very warm and very close-knit relationship between the people of Israel and the state of Israel and the state of Turkey and the Turkish people in particular.
ADNAN OKTAR:It will be much more better than it was before. That is because the King Messiah imparted in the Torah is in the world at the moment. I mean the Mahdi (pbuh) is in the world now. Consequently we are in a time that the Children of Israel will live the most beautiful life. We are at a time that the Muslims will live the most beautiful life. The people in Turkey, the Turkish people approach Israeli people with love and compassion. Such transient, political crisis happens, but this is not a norm. Look let me give you a very sharp indication. Turkey is having a big radar system in Malatya specifically to protect Israel. It is done within the structure of NATO. The characteristic of this system is that it aims to strike down the rockets on the airspace of Turkey or Iran, or even on the airspace of Syria if there happens to be a nuclear attack towards Israel. That is something that requires a great sacrifice. That is because when a rocket is striken on the air the parts and the spatters would pour upon that region. And consequently Israel is being protected in the perfect sense. Even this alone is a very explicit proof of an extra-ordinary compassion, an extraordinary protection and sacrifice.

Many people drink cranberry juice to prevent UTIs, but there's no proven evidence that cranberry juice works to treat or prevent infection. Researchers continue to study the ability of cranberry juice or tablets to prevent UTIs, but results aren't conclusive.
If you enjoy drinking cranberry juice and feel it helps you, there's little harm in it. Just watch the calories. For most people, drinking cranberry juice is safe, but some people report an upset stomach or diarrhea.
However, don't drink cranberry juice if you're taking blood-thinning medication, such as warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven); medications that affect the liver; or aspirin.
