The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.
Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Waterproof Binoculars:
Finally a pair for people who wear glasses. I love these!

Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Waterproof Binoculars:
First let me say I have had great luck with REI bins; I picked these up as a last minute emergency pair having left my quality glass at home. My first impression; "This will probably be fine". Not "wow" or "niice". The lightweight compact binos suffer from being too light to hold steady, the 10x25 version of these bins were just too unstable for me so I purchased the 8x25's. A little weight really does go a long way with binoculars in stabilizing your hands, and if your worried about the weight get some double straps, it really does lighten the load. The image in these was not very satisfactory; besides the claustrophobic sensation of the narrow field of view and poorly aligned lenses, the image was far less crisp than adequate. From 20 meters I was having trouble making out detail on some fairly large birds. I have used the REI 8x32's and they are a magnitude better quality at a very slight weight and price penalty (129.00 vs 85.00) and I would opt for that pair over these for a compact, portable bottom-of-the-backpack "just in case" pair of binoculars.

Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Waterproof Binoculars:
I compared these to similar models @ REI. I found the single pivot point easier to use than models with dual pivot points. Views from both eyes line up effortlessly. images are even, bright and crisp. In use at a baseball game, 8x magnification seemed just right, 10x might have produced too much image jitter with handheld use. Lens caps for eyepieces can be secured, but the others can not and are sure to be lost. Great specifications and performance at this price point, small enough to become a regular part of my daypack.

Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Waterproof Binoculars:
I just recently took delivery of these REI Binos, and I am really impressed! I have several binos, all more expensive than these, but these are really nice for the money. I was especially impressed with the range of the diopter adjustment. My eyes are extremely different, and most binos don't have enough range in the diopter adjustment on the right eyepiece to bring both sides into complete focus for my eyes, but these do! I had a different 8 X 25 waterproof compact binocular that succumbed to being less than waterproof and now I'm glad they did, or I wouldn't have purchased these. Great buy for the money. Good quality of construction and quality glass lenses.

Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Waterproof Binoculars:
I bought these as a gift for my dad for backpacking trips, but ended up using them ourselves to track our lost dog through the fields in countryside after he escaped from the dog sitter. I'm not too familiar with the world of binoculars, but these were light, sturdy, easy to adjust, and bright and clear enough to follow a small red dog through a brown grassy field at 1/4 mile or more.
Best Uses
Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Waterproof Binoculars:
Good small form factor bins at a reasonable price point are very hard to find. These are o-ringed and nitrogen purged, and water/dust resistant. I plan on using them when we can't pack our good bins due to space or risky travel. Good long eye relief, I can use them with my glasses on. Come with top/bottom lens covers and rugged cordura case. Sticky central focus, but otherwise rugged. Good daypack bins; not substitute for good 8x42 for serious viewing.

Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Waterproof Binoculars:
My wife bought a pair of these last year, and having broke mine I borrowed hers for a weekend of hunting. I've used and owned a lot of binoculars, but this pair I found fantastic for the money. Particularly impressive is the quality of the lenses. Most of the time in this price range you don't find a set of lenses that match, so you always have the perception that you're looking thru two separate tubes. Not so with these. Images were crisp, clear, and balanced. Once dialed in you get a great image down to within 2-3 yards of where you stand. The 8 power gives a great field of view with ample light when in the woods. Very light and did not cause any neck strain.

If you've got a sweet tooth, this is one recipe you must try. Coffee creme brulee -- it's a twist on an old favorite, featuring our favorite ingredient. This recipe makes five servings, perfect for entertaining.
1 quart of heavy cream
1 1/2 cups of dark-roast whole bean coffee
10 egg yolks
2/3 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 tbsp of salt
5 tbsp of superfine sugar
Preheat oven to 320 degrees fahrenheit.
Add cream and coffee beans to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 30 minutes then pour the mixture through a sieve into a large bowl. Discard coffee beans.
Combine egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Slowly add cream and whisk to mix the ingredients. Skim any foam or bubbles from surface.
Divide custard among the five molds. Place the molds in a roasting pan and place in oven. Pour boiling water around the molds (about half way up the sides). Bake for 30 minutes or until the edges of the custards are set, but the center is still loose.
Remove molds from oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Cover each mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Use a fine sieve to sift 1 tbsp of sugar over each custard. Hold a torch at a 90-degree angle, about 4 inches from the surface and carefully caramelize each custard until the tops are a light brown color.

Naval Architecture : Claudio Maletto Trained architect and keen sailor who belongs to the generation of yacht designers that emerged in the 1970s, when, in the absence of specific study courses, professional training required the integration of the scientific preparation obtained through university studies with the experience of a sailor gained through the participation in regattas of international level. Born in Varese in 1948, he graduated with a Degree in Architecture in 1972 at the Polytechnic of Milan. He started his involvement in the design of racing yachts with Flaviano Navone and Franco Fontana, founding in 1975 the studio Fontana – Maletto – Navone. As designer of offshore racers, he has won 11 world titles and 15 national titles in the five "IOR Level Classes". He made his debut in the America's Cup in 1992 as designer in "Il Moro di Venezia" Team. Subsequently, between 1992 and the three challenges with the "Luna Rossa" Team, he continued to be involved in the design of offshore racers, in particular in the IMS class, with victories in the national championships in 1995 and 1996 and in the Commodore's Cup and Sardinia Cup in 1998. Of particular significance was the participation in the four challenges for the America's Cup which included contesting the Match against the Defender in 1992 and 2000 and the three finals of the Louis Vuitton Cup in 1992, 2000 and 2007. In the dinghy field, he has designed several boats for the national class U-5.50 and in the Olympic classes he obtained the best result with the design of the "Star Class", boat winner of the Olympic gold medal at Atlanta in 1996. He has competed in international regattas in the 470, Laser, IOR and IMS classes, participating in national teams in the European and World Championships. He was part of the P.O. Italian Team at the debut of the 470, as an Olympic class, at the Olympics of Kingston (Montreal) in 1976. Numerous recognitions have been achieved for the results obtained both in the professional field and sport competition, such as the "Gold Medal for Athletic Value" in 1979, the award "The Rothmans Yachtsman of the Year 1995" and the "Oscar of Yachting 2002". In 2003 he received from the Comitato Olimpico Nazionale Italiano a "Lifetime Achievement Award" and in 2007 he obtained, as designer, the "Audi Yachtsman of the Year Award 2007". |

I think in concept it's funny, but I would never wear it in a situation that I didn't know absolutely everyone. A lot of people you see on the street may have or know someone who has one of those diseases and some of them aren't really ones to be taken lightly around people who actually know afflicted people.
I guess AIDS is funny at a party with your Rikered frat friends, but honestly I don't really see the humor at doing the shirt equivalent of yelling "HAHA, AIDS! AM I RIGHT? :fingerguns:". -

I'll admit that I did not understanding this one when I first saw it. I thought that it was saying that I was selling those diseases. I didn't get it until I read the title. Not sure this is something that I want to try to explain to other people. -

text: Certification Accreditation Accreditation from a third-party, independent organization that explicitly accredits certification programs is an important part of determining whether a program is credible. Since 2003, ACE has maintained accreditation from the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) for our Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Health Coach, and Advanced Health and Fitness Specialist certifications. In 2012, we also earned accreditation from the European Health & Fitness Association (EHFA) for our Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor programs. Fitness FACTS NCCA Accreditation NCCA Accreditation The NCCA serves as the independent accrediting body of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE). Originally formed in 1977 as the National Commission for Health Certifying Agencies, the NCCA establishes standards of excellence for certification programs and awards accreditation to programs that meet the standards. As of 2012, the commission has awarded accreditation to over 300 programs from more than 120 organizations including credentials for registered dietitians, athletic trainers, registered nurses, medical assistants, occupational therapists, financial planners, crane operators and fitness professionals. For many employers, a certification from an NCAA-accredited program is an easy way to identify a qualified candidate from an unqualified one. Within the fitness industry, the International Health and Racquet Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) and the Medical Fitness Association (MFA) both recommend club owners and medical fitness facilities hire professionals with NCCA-accredited certifications. Learn More ▶ NCCA Accreditation Standards When determining whether a program meets standards for accreditation, the NCCA takes a number of factors into account. Those factors include whether the exam process is fair and unbiased; whether the exam accurately measures the minimal competence required for an individual to enter a profession; whether the public is protected from unqualified or ineffective practitioners; and whether the organization has the means to support its professionals. Aside from NCCA, the only other organization for possible consideration as a credible accreditation organization for certifying agencies in fitness and other industries within the United States is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). EHFA ACCREDITATION EHFA ACCREDITATION Just as the NCCA sets standards for certification programs in the United States, the European Health & Fitness Association (EHFA) sets standards throughout Europe. Using a standards council comprised of industry experts, employers, academics and practitioners from across Europe, the nonprofit promotes best practices at nearly 10,000 health and fitness clubs in 27 European countries. In 2012, ACE became the first U.S. certification provider to earn approval by the EHFA Standards Council. The designation means ACE-certified Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors are eligible to join the European Register of Exercise Professionals (EREPS), the principle resource for hiring qualified health and fitness professionals in Europe.Learn More ▶ Additional Information For more on accreditation and issues surrounding continuing education, view our list of FAQs.Learn More ▶


text: A Pennsylvania Superior Court judge has overturned a woman's conviction for trying to trade sex for Phillies World Series tickets in the fall of 2009. A Bucks County jury found 45-year-old Susan Finkelstein of Philadelphia not guilty of prostitution but guilty of attempted prostitution in March of last year. A Bensalem police officer said he responded to an October ad on the Craigslist website that said, "Gorgeous tall buxom blonde in desperate need of two World Series tickets -- price negotiable." Another officer who met her at Manny Brown's Bar and Grill in the Neshaminy Mall said she offered to have sex with him and his brother in return for tickets. The Superior Court judge says she was not engaged in prostitution because her behavior did not exceed the limits of private sexual relations. Or as her lawyer said at one time, "It's not illegal to be a slut."

A sea fan, or gorgonian, is a form of sessile colonial cnidarian, similar to a sea pen or a soft coral, found in tropical and subtropical seawater. Individual tiny polyps form a colony that is erect, flattened, branching, and reminiscent of a fan. A colony can be several feet high and across but only a few inches thick. They may be brightly coloured, often purple, red, or yellow.
The main structural skeleton of a sea fan colony is formed from a flexible, horny substance called gorgonin, with living polyps covering the surface. Unlike corals, sea fans do not attach themselves to a hard substrate: instead, they anchor themselves in mud or sand. Each sea fan polyp has eight tentacles which catch plankton that is consumed. The "fan" is often oriented across the prevailing current to maximise water throughput and hence food supply. They may also contain algae which photosynthesise.
Sea fans are classified in the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, alongside the orders Alcyonacea (soft corals) and Pennatulacea (sea pens).
The Pygmy seahorse makes the sea fan its home.

Bashar al-Assad (Arabic: بشار حافظ الأسد, Baššār al-ʾAsad; born 11 September 1965) is the President of Syria and Regional Secretary of the Ba'ath Party. His father Hafez al-Assad ruled Syria for 29 years until his death. Al-Assad was elected in 2000 and 2007, but was unopposed each time.
Bashar al-Assad was born in Damascus on 11 September 1965, the son of Aniseh (née Makhluf) and Hafez al-Assad. Initially Bashar had few political aspirations. His father had been grooming Bashar's older brother, Basil al-Assad, as a future president. Bashar studied ophthalmology at Damascus University 1988 and arrived in London in 1992 to continue his studies. He was recalled in 1994 to join the Syrian army after Basil's death in an automobile accident. Bashar entered the military academy at Homs, north of Damascus, following the death of Basil, and was propelled through the ranks to become a colonel in January 1999. The accident made Bashar his father's new heir-apparent.
When the elder Assad died in 2000, Bashar was appointed leader of the Baath-Party and the Army and was elected president unopposed with what the regime claimed to be a massive popular support (97.2% of the votes), after the Majlis Al Sha'ab (Parliament) swiftly voted to lower the minimum age for candidates from 40 to 34 (Assad's age when he was elected). On 27 May 2007 Bashar was approved as president for another seven-year term, with the official result of 97.6% of the votes in a referendum without another candidate.

Cardiac Surgery
In 2006, the Heart and Vascular Center was the first in the region to perform thoracic endovascular (inside the vessel) artery repair (TEVAR) to repair a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), an aneurysm in the upper part of the aorta. This minimally invasive procedure involves placing a stent in the thoracic aorta to the aneurysm from the bloodstream.
Minimally invasive heart surgery — for years, heart surgery has been performed through a long incision through the sternum (breastbone) to reach the heart. Today, cardiac surgeons in the Heart and Vascular Center can perform minimally invasive surgery, to correct many types of heart problems, such as repairing a valve or closing a hole in the heart. This approach has many benefits for patients.

ST. LOUIS — Allowing a goal just 12 seconds into the game helped set the tone for a somber Thursday evening by the St. Louis Blues at Scottrade Center.
Numerous Chicago fans in the arena roared their approval after a 3-0 win. It was the Blackhawks' seventh victory in a row as they stretched their NHL-record consecutive points streak to 20 games at 17-0-3. Chicago has nailed down 37 of a possible 40 points.
"It's a terrible start on our line's part," said Blues captain David Backes, whose line includes T.J. Oshie and David Perron. "We've got to be better in setting the tone for our team. I don't know if there's a worse way to do it, 12 seconds in and giving a goal up. That's on our shoulders and we acknowledge that."
A sellout crowd of 19,533 was still settling into its seats when Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews scored just 12 seconds after the opening face-off. With little in the way of defense to stop them, the Blackhawks moved in quickly and Brandon Saad set up Toews in front.
"Lack of communication between the backchecker and the left defenseman," was the explanation given by Blues coach Ken Hitchcock, whose team had trouble climbing out of that hole the rest of the night.
The Blues definitely created a few moments, but found themselves being somewhat less than the aggressors against a focused Blackhawks club.
"I think our whole performance was OK, but that's not enough to beat a team like Chicago," Hitchcock said. "We made too many mistakes in critical areas offensively and defensively to be effective. I don't think we went at the net hard enough and I think we got beat at our net a few times. That was the difference in the hockey game."
The Blackhawks have earned at least one point in 26 straight regular season games dating back to last season.
The Blues (10-7-2) finished a rough month of February at 4-6-2 and again were unable to generate much offense at home. Playing without injured forwards Alex Steen, Andy McDonald and Vladimir Tarasenko, they were 0-for-4 on the power play and are now 0-for-13 over the last five games.
Of the Blues' 53 goals this season, 21 were scored in four games. That includes the 6-0 win over Detroit in the season opener. The Blues have scored one goal or fewer in five of their last seven home games. Thursday marked the first time they had been shut out at home since March 1, 2011, a 6-0 loss to Calgary.
"We need a better performance, it's as plain as that," said Backes, who left the game early in the second period and later returned following a collision with Chicago's Saad. "We didn't have it and the result's 3-0 at home in front of another sellout. Our fans deserve better and I think everyone here knows that we've got more. It needs to come out right away."
Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford did not return for the second period after making six saves in the first. He was replaced in goal by Ray Emery, who finished the combined shutout by stopping all 15 shots he saw.
A power-play shot from the right point by Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk appeared to be deflected and hit the goalpost in the second period. Shattenkirk was asked if the Blues felt a bit overmatched against the NHL's hottest team.
"I don't think so," he said. "We were generating quite a few scoring chances in the second period there I don't think we've ever felt outmatched against anyone. I know we lost two guys this week, but we certainly didn't come into it thinking about that and worrying about that."
Blues winger Chris Stewart was alone in front on another chance, but Emery made the save when Stewart couldn't get his shot over the goaltender.
Late in the period, Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook made a nice play to keep the puck out of trouble on a wraparound try by Blues center Scott Nichol.
"We just got out-battled and outworked," Shattenkirk said. "It's tough to see, but that's a team that's playing their best hockey. That's a team that's playing hockey the right way and that's what we were doing so well last year. We need to get back to that."
Jackman honored
Blues defenseman Barret Jackman was honored in a pregame ceremony for playing in 616 games, the most by a defenseman in franchise history. Also taking part in the ceremony were some of the former Blues defensemen he passed, including Al MacInnis, Chris Pronger and Bob Plager. Also on hand was Helen Plager, the wife of former Blues defenseman and coach Barclay Plager.

Rates of Alzheimer's set to treble by 2050
by Xavier Symons | 7 Dec 2013 |
tags: Alzheimer's disease, dementia
The number of cases of Alzheimer's disease is set to treble by 2050, according to the peak dementia research group, Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI). ADI, which will brief G8 nations at a special conference in London on Wednesday, estimates that there will be 135 million people living with dementia in 2050, up from the current number of 76 million. It is calling on governments to develop comprehensive policies to prepare for the dramatic increase:
"The absence of dementia public policy renders governments woefully unprepared for the dementia epidemic and there is an urgent need for a collaborative, global action plan for governments, industry and non-profit organisations like Alzheimer associations."
There are also concerns about ability of poorer countries to deal with the epidemic. According to the briefing, over two-thirds (71%) of people with dementia will be living in low- and middle-income countries. The researchers… click here to read whole article and make comments
Seventh revision of Declaration of Helsinki published
by Michael Cook | 7 Dec 2013 |
tags: clinical ethics, research ethics
Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Helsinki, the benchmark for ethical medical research on subjects. To mark the occasion, the World Medical Association, which is responsible for updating the document, has issued a seventh revision. The WMA president, Margaret Mungherera, President of the WMA, explains the scope of the changes:
"We have spent two years consulting our national medical association members, outside experts and the public and we are satisfied that today we have a Declaration that requires greater transparency about medical research, greater accountability and increased patient safety. The changes also place more obligations on the sponsors of research, on the researchers themselves and on host governments to protect research subjects."
The origins of the Helsinki Declaration lie in the atrocities by Nazi doctors during World War II. In the wake of the war crimes trials, the 1947… click here to read whole article and make comments
Saudi Arabian and Chinese couple search abroad for surrogate mothers
tags: China, Saudi Arabia, surrogacy
Saudi couples who are unable to have children are employing surrogate mothers in Asia and Europe even though surrogacy has been condemned by the country's Islamic Jurisprudence Council. An article in the Arab News did not estimate how many couples have done this. However, a number of doctors favour a more liberal interpretation of the law.
Dr Samir Abbas, a member of the Saudi Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, says "Such a phenomenon should not be treated as taboo, since the mechanism of food being fed to the fetus through the umbilical cord is akin to the act of a woman breastfeeding another person's child, which is permissible in Islam." Some commentators on the story also suggested that the husband take a second wife if the first is unable to bear a child.
In China surrogacy is also illegal, so some couples are going to US… click here to read whole article and make comments
How much is that genome in the window?
tags: genomics, privacy
The search for UK volunteers willing to ditch privacy and donate their genome and health data to science has begun with the launch of the Personal Genome Project UK. The organisers hope to find 100,000 donors.
PGP-UK aims to offer every participant analysis of their genome, as part of a novel open consent protocol, enabling genomic data to be linked to medical and health records to create an information-rich resource that is made available under open access, allowing free and unrestricted access.
"Donating your genome and health data to science is a great way to enable advances in the understanding of human genetics, biology, and health," said Professor Stephan Beck, the director of the project.
Surrendering the right to genetic privacy is a novel development, especially at a time when countries all around the world are worried about keeping their data private from Google and security agencies.… click here to read whole article and make comments
Visiting Italian woman forced to have C-section in UK
tags: informed consent, UK
Shocking details surfaced this week of an Italian woman who had her baby forcibly delivered whilst visiting the UK last year. Alessandra Pacchieri, a Ryan air employee in Britain to complete a short airhostess training course, was taken to a psychiatric hospital in Essex by authorities after suffering an emotional breakdown. There doctors sedated her and her baby was forcibly delivered.

Nitschke sets up Adelaide clinic for assisted suicide

Dr Philip Nitschke at his assisted suicide clinic.
A euthanasia clinic has been set up by Australia's leading euthanasia activist, Dr Philip Nitschke, in Adelaide. Police are keeping a close watch on activities there, but Dr Nitschke, who is used to working at the very edge of the law, is said to be doing nothing clearly illegal.
The clinic, a small renovated cottage in the suburb of Gilberton, has information about options for assisted suicide and facilities for video-conferencing with people in Australia and overseas who want to know how to kill themselves without legal risk to loved ones. The cottage was purchased with bequests and gifts from Dr Nitschke's admirers.
The law bans helping people commit suicide, but not advising them. So Dr Nitschke explains how to use the lethal sedative Nembutal, how to obtain it, and how to test… click here to read whole article and make comments
Workshop on uterus transplants to be held in Sweden
tags: Sweden, uterus transplant
The first workshop on human uterus transplants will take place at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, in February, led by Professor Mats Brännström. While a couple of transplants have taken place in humans, no live births have yet happened.
There are some serious ethical issues involved. There is a substantial risk for a live donor, more than for the recipient. The children would have to be conceived (at least initially) by IVF. The mother would have to take immune-suppressant drugs as long as she has the womb. There are weighty psychological and cultural issues to be negotiated. See the video for a discussion of this fascinating new technology.
23andMe must shut down - FDA
by Xavier Symons | 30 Nov 2013 |
tags: 23andme, genetic tests
Personal genomics company 23andMe is in hot water after a stern letter from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA stated that the company's Personal Genome Service - a cheap and user-friendly means of obtaining information about one's genetic data – has not been approved for marketing. Unless the necessary supporting documentation is supplied the product must be taken off the market.
The FDA says that 23andMe has failed to provide evidence that their tests are accurate and reliable: "we still do not have any assurance that the firm has analytically or clinically validated the PGS for its intended uses".
The personal genome service has already been used by hundreds of thousands of people around the world to access their genetic information. Customers provide a saliva sample to the company's laboratories and receive a comprehensive report on their DNA. This includes a list… click here to read whole article and make comments
The other controversy about genetic tests
by Michael Cook | 30 Nov 2013 |
tags: genetic tests
The hot water into which 23andme has landed is just one of many simmering controversies about genetic testing. Earlier this year the American College of Medical Genetics released new guidelines about how much of the "incidental" information from a genetic test should be given to patients. This is information gleaned from a test for one genetic condition which is not related to it but which might be relevant to a patient's health.
For example, a test for hereditary hair loss might reveal that you have a gene strongly correlated with an aggressive cancer. Should the doctor tell you? Do you have a right not to know this information?
The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) made an abrupt change of policy earlier this year and decided that it would be unethical not to disclose all the incidental findings, even if a patient does not… click here to read whole article and make comments
Russia bans abortion advertising
tags: abortion, Russia
Russia has banned all abortion advertising in a bid to address population decline. The new legislation, signed into law by president Vladimir Putin on Monday, is yet another blow to abortion providers. In 2011 the government passed radical legislation that barred abortions after the twelfth week of pregnancy and established a waiting period of at least 48 hours.
The head of the State Duma Committee for Family and Children welcomed the law, saying, "the problems of abortion prevention and the shift in public opinion towards abortion are currently very urgent. Although the number of abortions in Russia is falling, it still exceeds 5 million every year."
Abortion advocates have condemned the government, arguing that the law is part of a campaign to restrict women's reproductive rights. "This is not the beginning of the restriction of women's reproductive rights, but rather the continuation of a process begun… click here to read whole article and make comments

Gotta say we're all grins one of our own got top honors across multiple categories this year for churning out some of San Antonio's snarkiest shit hitting the web and stage (watch where you step, Jay). A fixture comic in the local scene, Whitecotton often turns to his Current-hosted blog to talk San Antonio comedy. Still, our insides turn to jelly whenever he turns his sarcasm gun on the day's headlines, including Ron Paul rallies, the NFL, and the Penn State child molestation scandal. When Penn students rioted over the firing of their beloved Joe Paterno, Whitecotton delivered this brilliant line: "Luckily we have the students of Penn State to voice their concerns and stand against those that would fire their beloved Joe Paterno — not only the most successful coach in college football history, but a man who can ignore the repeated molestations of children by a deviant child rapist." Luckily, we have Jay. … Also lucky to have Jay are the number of folks who nominated his Bitter Karaoke tops in the city. While hefty purses suggest a certain professionalism lining up by the stage, a peek at Bitter's Facebook page brings us back to earth with a suggestion that "Mr. Jay Whitecotton will … guide you along as we journey to depths of mediocrity and poor life choices." What's a song stylist to do? It's enough to drive you to drink, and then sing. Good times.

edit: should this be in system builders? I'm sorry. Ok I am never too good at asking for input and waiting, I just order and then ask opinion - so now I'm asking all of yours. I haven't upgraded my system rig in about 5 years. As you can see - so this weekend I reviewed some parts and placed my order. Newegg is still my favorite shop because I have a relationship with a higher up rep and all my issues are ironed out immediately. even without that their customer service is top notch. This is my game and work computer, it gets 15 hours some days, with a minimum of 8. Anyway, to the new Build: [TABLE]Case:|Lian Li Lancool PC-K58 - Same as current for now, will upgrade down the line Mobo:|GIGABYTE G1.ASSASSIN2 CPU:|i7-3820 will upgrade to a K when i find a cheaper one. Cooler:|CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i SSD:| Samsung 830 Series 128gb GPUs:|2xGIGABYTE GV-R795WF3-3GD Radeon HD 7950 3GB Crossfired RAM:|G.SKILL Trident X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) for another 2x4 down the line PSU:|PC Power and Cooling 750W I'll upgrade if necessary but I think it'll just be enough under heavy loads. [/TABLE] MY only question is should I have gone 1155 instead of 2011? My upgrade time is usually 5 years - both will be obsolete by then, so this is really a one time build save for a few small things if i catch them at the right price. Anyway please this way some feedback yes?
y this Graphics? i use almost the same system but manufactor(idk i spelled it correct or not)s isnt same i use i7-3820 Asus P9X79 Pro ADATA 8G 1333 7-7-7-20 NZXT Phantom EATX 7970 Crossfired Corsair H55 and AX750 i would recommend a 8 memory slot motherboard, like Rampage IV Extreme, cuz if u wanna upgrade ur memory to 64 gigabytes, there is no way to do it, and u will lose one importand feature on X79, thats 8 memory slot only my idea, 0.0
The gpu you chose for the price is great but why you don't take a cheap 120-150$ z77 mobo and the i7 3770K if you want a K cpu?
Also the i7 3770K performs better than the 3820 and the lga 2011 is not as futureproof just as the 1366 was.
Implying he requires 64Gb of system memory, even in 5 years. I would have gone 1155 z77 witha 3770k for futureproofing for 5 years, maybe even wait a touch for the 4770k. Graphics cards are a legit choice, certainly no complaints on my end. I like Gigabyte cards personally, though one of mine had coil whine. Everything else seems great, just a weird (not necessarily superbad) choice of mobo and processor. With the current iterations of memory, you can get 32Gb on that board with 8Gb modules, but i still havent gone over 8Gb on my system after overloading it with applications.
He won't need to wait for the i7 4770K since this cpu is only 10% better as it is said by the reviewers.So i would say the lga 1155 my opinion and yes it will last 5 years easily.
You could always use that spare 550ti for dedicated physx for no reason at all. There is an edit post button by the way. Also those 4770k "reviews" are not 100% reliable. Things change between now and release date.
I know some are not reliable but the current benchmarks that are out show that this cpu has lower power consumption and better clocks.Remember the same story was with the i7 2600K and with the latest 3770k which don;t have much performance difference.
True but there is a noticable difference, and if time is not an issue then why not? If he wanted an immediate upgrade however, 3770k would have been the choice.
Yeah me too i said that the i7 3770K is better performer than the i7 3820 and if the lga 1155 won't change with the arrival of the haswell cpu's it will be one of the most futureproof chipsets!!!
3770k didn't use a new architecture, it's only a tweaked SB. Haswell (like you said) isn't much faster but it does include some new instructions which can make it a lot faster. Haswell will use LGA1150 IIRC.
Lets wait then till it comes out and lets see how it performs because now we really don't have many clues about it's performance.I am currently attracted to the i5 4670K and it might be my new cpu if amd won't put out a new 8 core fx which will use the sAM3+ chipset.
I know that the i7 3820 oc's like hell man but it can't be compared to the i7 3770K just because its faster in gaming and multithreaded applications.Sry but i am new here and i really trying to figure out how it works tnx for the tip xD
it can be compared - it's all a matter of what you need. I wanted socket 2011 and the ability to upgrade to a 3770k or similar before this motherboard goes, but i wasn't about to spend the cash now. the 3820 is plenty of upgrade from my 920. also, i went all out last time and got the D0 and a ROG Asus board along with ram for killer overclocking... I just don't get into it much. Half the time I turn off the oc for temps or fan noise or stability or just because. overclocking just isn't very important to me. I do a lot of gaming but it's also my work machine. that's basic coding, heavy photoshop as well as some audio editing. I'm sure it's not absolutely necessary for me to go this route - but the price difference between the 1155 build and the 2011 was less than $100, and I opted for this.
I would suggest you to wait then ,if time is not a problem,and see what the new platform has to offer.If you are not planning oc'ing the its really your choise either you get the 3820 or the 3770K.The lga2011 is an extreme chipset whereas the lga1155 is mor of an mainstream chipset.But the lga 2011 are too expensive and i think you can get an z77 mobo with the 3770K and cost you less than getting the 3820 with any lga 2011 mobo.
You don't really need an SB-E rig for that. I would wait for Haswell so rumors can be pushed aside. That way you can either get something newer or something older for less.
it's just this..... i7 3770k + 7970 ghz or something or titan xfire/sli or i7 3930k/60x/70x + 7970 ghz or blah blah blah xfire/sli hehehehe just that if you want to go mainstream just go 3770k, but if you want to go for a long ipeen just grab the 3970x with an amazingly expensive mobo with expensive stuff and be done with it. imo I'd get the 3770K. edit: go quad titan or vapor with 6gb and water cool these slut and you are good to go. with a nice lian li case it should be kick ass. Modded lian li + custom watercooling with 6 external 480mm rad ^_^
wow, yes, time for an upgrade! IMO yes you should have gone with 1155 socket, as it has more flexibility. However if you wanted the ability to go 6 or 8 core (12 or 16 threads) processor, then 2011 was the right way to go. but to get your money's worth you really gotta pay a lot for a good 6 or 8 core processor. Otherwise you might as well have gotten a 1155 socket and 3770K (the best 1155 processor) p.s. finally they added the TABLE bbcode!
Socket 1155 is dead. No more chips coming out for it and will be unsupported when Haswell drops in June which will use Socket 1150. So if your going to do a brand new build try and wait it out for Haswell/1150 OP: build looks pretty good. LGA2011 would be a good platform. You can get an Ivy Bridge E chip when they drop. Seems like a solid build for me, at this point if you do decide to drop down to socket 1155/1150 id wait for 1150. Edit: Maybe run this kit of memory though. G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR... To run in quad channel. then you can add another kit for 16GB of ram down the road. Maybe switch to a lower end board to save some cash as well.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK - White House tours have been cancelled and Yellowstone National Park's roads will be plowed a little late this year. Those are just two effects of sequestration.
Yellowstone will open later thanks to sequestration. As long as that continues, Yellowstone could face other cuts.
Park Superintendent Dan Wenk talked about what is in store for the park next year and specifically next winter.
"When I was asked, would I consider closing the winter in the future? My answer was, 'yes.' Just as I would consider closing in October, just as I would consider closing the back country just as I would consider closing, you know, every aspect of Yellowstone National Park has to be looked at if the sequestration continues, which it looks like it will and our budgets continue on the decline. Everything is on the table," Wenk said. "Certainly, do I want that to happen or do I think it's going to happen? I sure hope not. Just as I don't want or hope anything else happens that's going to affect the visitor experience while they're in Yellowstone."
For business owners in gateway communities like Gardiner, not knowing is the hardest part.
"The decision itself is probably less important than the indecision," Richard Parks of Parks' Fly Shop said.
As the budget battle continues in Washington D.C., what's facing government agencies is what's going to happen next budget cycle.
"In a perverse sort of way that might actually be good for Gardiner. Fewer open motel rooms in Mammoth means more opportunity to sell rooms in Gardiner," Parks said.
"Winter use costs us over $55 a visitor. Summer use costs us less than $10 a visitor. If I was a business, would I be open in the winter? That's where the question came from," Wenk said.
Communities like West Yellowstone would feel a much greater impact.
Wenk also notes that next year Yellowstone would have a full year to implement the cuts as opposed to these six months into a budget year.

Curtis lives out of a suitcase and his diary reflects it. He's always seems to be on an plane travelling or in front of a camera filming. But he wouldn't have it any other way. See what Curtis is up to (and where) with a glimpse into his diary blog.
Mushrooms come in so many shapes, sizes, colours and flavours and I absolutely love them all. The way I like to look at mushrooms is that they range in taste from very delicate to blow your head off with flavour. Mushrooms can be split into two varieties; cultivated and wild. The wild mushrooms are different species that we can grow under controlled conditions. Which is why they are often more expensive but very flavoursome. Cultivated mushrooms are also great with each variety having its own distinctive taste. There are so may amazing varieties of mushrooms. Some include; Swiss Brown, Oyster, Chanterelles, Morels, Black Trumpet, Portobello, Porcini, Shiitake and Enoki. To remove any dirt or debris from mushrooms, I recommend using a pastry brush or damp cloth. Autumn is the best season for eating wild mushrooms.

I called testers who wouldn't be willing to chart songs beyond 10 minutes lazy, and I still believe that's the truth. However, it's a moot point, because the software/hardware/whateverware won't allow for it anyway.
Given this unfortunate limitation, the testers are hardworking enough. They are literally doing all they can.
I wish they could do more (and doubtless many of the would).
I've never heard a 10 minute + song that couldn't be broken up into two parts at some point. It might not be the most glamorous method but it certainly keeps HelloMaster from being disappointed, and THAT's what's most important.

It's not that much of a blow; only three of the 1100 or so songs on the main Rock Band Platform go over the limit, two of which are from full albums and could probably be edited down a bit if they absolutely had to. 10 minutes is more than enough time.

-- -- and with the animation of what we think.
For many Americans the holiday season as a time for giving to those who are less fortunate.
But at the end of the year large charitable donations may become anything in the past.
And fall victim the fiscal -- you to expand on that as Fox's legal analyst Peter Johnson junior let's hope not we're talking about the charitable deduction correct in everybody's taking shots said the president wants to limit the deductions.
-- charitable deduction.
We now talking about on the Republican side a basket of deductions in May be that could be part of it.
The knock on the charitable deductions seemed to be from the hard left well.
It's helping religious institutions more than anyone else and somehow that's bad and then it's helping the richest people.
And that's bad too and so let's change the charitable deductions -- the truth is.
It would be a devastating blow to the American economy.
There's maybe fifty billion dollars in lost tax revenues as a result of the charitable deduction.
But its role is almost 300 billion dollars.
-- efforts for charities in this country so for every dollar lost.
It tax revenue almost six dollars is gain.
In helping people for standing helping people for Katrina helping people of all these efforts across the country the things that government can't and won't do and the non profits and the idea profit hospitals colleges and they've seen that there are extremely nervous from aid is he across this country if that deduction goes away -- -- -- this change is part of our culture before the 1917.
I was for the poor charity it's part of Judeo Christian culture it's part of American culture that we reach out and help.
Other people but it could go by the boards in a way that we're not feel like -- -- at some Republicans are for getting out as well.
And there there's a lot of money thinking.
On this and we will pay the price could that be the last concert.
That we have that -- -- cuts it.
For sandy if the law changes the likely that is not.
But there's a possibility I know people -- because they wanna -- that's great yeah but the thing is people gonna get a little fed up and say all right you want a social program go ahead and do what you think this I think people will change -- had a -- but instead -- giving and there are polls that show that it doesn't cinema has given.
And most of the polls show that people want to keep.
The charitable deduction whether or not it helps the rich most it also helps.
The poorest the most while we were effort and Peter Johnson's opinion and did you have got to know you -- I don't know America had its best and most important thing I thank you very late and great to see anything I mean.

Nebraska's high court ruled Friday that a county judge violated disciplinary rules when he left a vulgar message on a prosecutor's voice mail expressing anger over the prosecutor's rescheduling of a matter before him. The judge's message, in part: "I did not appreciate that one fucking bit. And if I find out you ever did that again to me or any other members of the county court bench, I'll shove it up your ass so fucking far it will make your throat hurt." The justices ordered a 120-day suspension without pay.

Having caught up on my sleep from the whirlwind that was SXSW 2012, I've had the chance to look back on the memorable performances of new bands from the festival. One that especially stands out was Meiko's show at The Hotel Cafe Showcase at St. David's Sanctuary.
This was my first formal introduction to Meiko's music. After hearing her first song, it was apparent why all these people were jammed into a church's sanctuary on an action-packed Saturday night. Having not released an album in the past 4 years, Meiko surely kept her fans waiting, but it was definitely worth it. The first song that caught my ear was "Leave the Lights." The catchy beat along with the soulful lyrics was a great indictator for how the rest of the set would unfold.
She showed not only her talent as a musician, but as a storyteller as well. Her deeply personal lyrics helped forge a connection with the audience and allowed us to learn a little bit more about her life. From her upcoming album, she played "Real Real Sweet," a song she wrote inspired by one of her close friends who was convinced that her boyfriend was sneaking around with the singer, which wasn't true. Throughout the song, she sang of many different scenarios of what her friend's worst nightmare could be, and concluded the song by singing, "I know he loves you but he's in love with me and it goes real deep". This song is sure to be a fan favorite and in many ways a great way to get back at the slightly paranoid friend.
Throughout her set, Meiko told the backstory of the song "Under My Bed" from her debut, which she wrote while sifting through boxes she kept under her bed that held a bunch of memories from earlier relationships. Fans were pleased to hear the familiar song, but they seemed just as happy to hear another new tune about an old love. The singer had enough of her boyfriend living and pretty much mooching off her, and when it was time to kick him out/get rid of him, she didn't know how/why she should help be while he was leaving. As a creative outlet, she sat on her couch and that's how "Good Looking Loser" came to be. Before he left, she played the song for him and it's understandable why he's wouldn't be huge fan of the song.
Once again, this SXSW performance was way too short of a set. It left the crowd and myself wanting more. With a May 15 release date for her new albu, The Bright Side, we will only have to wait a little while longer to listen to these and many more great tracks handy to take with us.

49 CFR 370.11 - Processing of salvage.
prev | next
§ 370.11
Processing of salvage.
Whenever baggage or material, goods, or other property transported by a carrier subject to the provisions in this part is damaged or alleged to be damaged and is, as a consequence thereof, not delivered or is rejected or refused upon tender thereof to the owner, consignee, or person entitled to receive such property, the carrier, after giving due notice, whenever practicable to do so, to the owner and other parties that may have an interest therein, and unless advised to the contrary after giving such notice, shall undertake to sell or dispose of such property directly or by the employment of a competent salvage agent. The carrier shall only dispose of the property in a manner that will fairly and equally protect the best interests of all persons having an interest therein. The carrier shall make an itemized record sufficient to identify the property involved so as to be able to correlate it to the shipment or transportation involved, and claim, if any, filed thereon. The carrier also shall assign to each lot of such property a successive lot number and note that lot number on its record of shipment and claim, if any claim is filed thereon.
Whenever disposition of salvage material or goods shall be made directly to an agent or employee of a carrier or through a salvage agent or company in which the carrier or one or more of its directors, officers, or managers has any interest, financial or otherwise, that carrier's salvage records shall fully reflect the particulars of each such transaction or relationship, or both, as the case may be.
Upon receipt of a claim on a shipment on which salvage has been processed in the manner prescribed in this section, the carrier shall record in its claim file thereon the lot number assigned, the amount of money recovered, if any, from the disposition of such property, and the date of transmittal of such money to the person or persons lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Amy Winehouse, the beehived soul-jazz diva, had London and the music world mourning last week after her tragic death. The 27-year-old songstress — known as much for her hard-charging, party-girl ways as for her sultry sounds — also had a devoted fashion following. On stage or on the town, Winehouse created her own quirky, retro style that included a tireless love of pink ballet flats, as seen here in June 2010.

text: Just a quick reminder for those trying to use shell_exec on a unix-type platform and can't seem to get it to work. PHP executes as the web user on the system (generally www for Apache), so you need to make sure that the web user has rights to whatever files or directories that you are trying to use in the shell_exec command. Other wise, it won't appear to be doing anything.
