RESTON, Va. (WUSA9) -- A man known as a trainer for basketball players is now charged with sexual assault and solicitation of child pornography, say Loudoun County Sheriff's Office authorities.
Thirty-nine-year-old Marlow Mikassa Afshartous, also known as Marlow Talley, of Reston, was arrested on Saturday.
Authorities say that detectives started investigating allegations that a basketball instructor at Calude Moore Recreation Center, Georgetown Day School and thenow-closed Hoop Magic in Chantilly and Fairfax Stars, had a sexual relationship with a female athlete younger than 13 years old.
Loudoun County authorities say they worked with the Fairfax County Police Department to arrest Afshartous.He is being held without bond at the county detention center.
Authoritiessayadditional charges are possible and they are trying to determine if there are additional victims. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective J.S. Cichocki at 703-777-0475.
Neighbors say Marlow Talley is married with two young girls. Carolyn Thompson who lives nearby was shocked at the news. "He's been a fantastic neighbor. It's very hard to believe. I pray that it's not true," she said.

The iPhone 5s debuted with a list of new features designed to enhance its users' experience.[1] Among the list is Touch ID, a form of biometric security that allows users to lock and unlock their iPhone with their fingerprint.[2] It was not long before a crowd-funded competition was initiated with $16,000 in cash and prizes offered to the first person to crack Touch ID.[3] A few days later, a video was released that demonstrated how to reproduce a user's fingerprint to bypass Touch ID.[4]
Another vulnerability was also discovered shortly after the release of iOS 7 that allowed users to bypass the lock-screen passcode, similar to a previously identified vulnerability that affected iOS 6 devices.[5] Apple has since patched the passcode flaws[6], but the point is that it is not uncommon for security vulnerabilities on mobile devices to be discovered. Companies should be aware that unauthorized access to employees' mobile devices is a real threat that can result in the theft of trade secrets and other confidential information. Companies can fortunately implement policies and procedures to help prevent data theft and system intrusions.
For devices using Apple's Touch ID, such as the iPhone 5s, a traditional passcode is required for access if the device has been locked for more than 48 hours.[7] However, a phone could obviously become lost or stolen at any moment within that 48-hour timeframe. Consequently, employees with access to a company's sensitive information should be prohibited from enabling Touch ID on their iPhone 5s.
Moreover, employees should be required to notify their employers if their mobile device is lost or stolen. An agreement should be in place such that the employee gives consent to the employer to remotely wipe the data on a compromised device. Companies should further require that employees' mobile devices be current with the latest software patches concerning security.
It is important to note that these policies and procedures should be in writing in order to more effectively protect companies against lawsuits alleging inadequate controls for confidential information, and also strengthen compliance with applicable privacy laws. For more recommendations on how companies can protect sensitive information through employment agreements, refer to Zach Allie's WinTech post, Bring-Your-Own-Device: Are Employers Opening the Door to Security and Legal Risks?.

Helping Children Cope With Death
Death is a natural part of life, but it can be hard for parents to help their children grieve when they may be in mourning, too. A loving parent's support can help children grieve when someone close to them dies, and it may even help parents confront their own feelings of sadness. Including children in rituals like a funeral can provide an opportunity for parents to share their spiritual and religious beliefs. Until about age 6, children are unable to understand death's finality.
Between ages 6 and 10 they begin to understand its permanence. Children of all ages, though, can grieve and feel sadness. Parents should invite grieving children to attend the funeral of their loved one, but it shouldn't be forced. Visiting the cemetery at a later date or saying a special prayer for the deceased are other ways a child can say good-bye.
It's important to speak honestly with children about death. Parents can offer simple facts about what happened. They can explain that death is normal and final and acknowledge that it's hard to lose someone you love. They also should spend time with the children and be available to listen to them.Children often experience many emotions when grieving. Here are some examples:
- They may deny that their loved one has died and behave as though he or she is still present. Parents can tell them they understand the wish to bring back their loved one.
- Some children blame themselves when there is a death. Parents should tell them it is not their fault.
- Children may express anger through shouting or aggressive behavior. Parents can talk to their children about how they feel and acknowledge their grief. It may help kids to hear that their parents are sad, too. Parents can let them know it's OK to cry and that it may take a while to feel better.
If behavior problems emerge, children should be given constructive ways to work through their feelings, such as playing ball, molding clay or pounding a pillow. They could be encouraged to channel their emotions by drawing pictures and then talking about them. Another constructive way to grieve is to make a scrapbook about the deceased. In it they can describe special memories, draw pictures or include mementos and photographs.
Parents might suggest that children write a letter to their loved one; a written good-bye can help provide closure. Kids need to know they can talk to their parents about how they feel. Nurturing hugs and kisses can reassure them.
Reading storybooks about pets or people dying can help teach kids about death. Even preschoolers can talk about what it means to die. Discussing these issues before a loved one dies will help kids handle death when it does occur. Like anyone, children need time to grieve, but parents should consider seeking professional help from teachers or counselors if it seems necessary.
Accepting death is no easy matter, but once children work through their feelings, they'll be able to cope with their loss and find comfort from others. Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC offers Positive Parenting classes and other parenting workshops.
For more information, call the Community Education Department at 412-692-7105. Current classes are listed on this Web site. For more information about how to help children and adolescents cope with grief, contact The Caring Place, a center for grieving children, adolescents and their families at 1-888-224-HOPE(4673). The Caring Place is located at 620 Stanwix Street in downtown Pittsburgh.

Paz Radaza's pain-A A +A
Tuesday, August 19, 2014
MY COLUMN last Monday about my experience in applying for a personal loan with the local branch of Standard-Chartered Bank generated reactions from readers who shared similar experiences with other banks. They were mostly applying for credit cards.
Like me, they were not properly informed about the status of their application and only knew that the application was denied when they checked personally with the bank months later.
Last Monday and until yesterday, the local bank's loan officer, Moriel Binghay, and its Manila-based officer texted and called me. I ignored their calls and text messages.
One of the message read: "Good afternoon Mr. Nalzaro, this is Mr. Joy Bitoy, senior manager for service quality from Standard-Chartered Bank. Your article reached us and we just wish to talk with you to personally apologize and thank you for the feedback.
Please advise best time to call you sir. Thank you."
For me, there is nothing to apologize. What I want is just a little explanation why they failed to update me for more than a month on my personal loan application. All I want is a categorical answer whether my application was approved or not. If they denied it for whatever reasons, then fine with me. I will not force the issue.
I know it was beyond the control of Binghay because the approval or denial comes from Manila. But the problem with Binghay is that, after assuring me that she will update me, she failed to do it. She could not even be contacted.
I applied in good faith because they offered it to me. But after I complied with all the requirements, they did not even have the courtesy of updating me of the status of my application. They left me hanging. Is this the way this international and notable bank treats its clients?
If based on their background investigation I didn't have the capability to pay then they should have told me about it. When I applied for a car loan with RCBC two years ago, within the day I got my brand new car. Mind you my car was more expensive than the amount I applied with Standard-Chartered Bank. In our Newscoop, all applications for loan are processed and released within the day.
I am not sour-graping. What I want is a categorical answer. Pero mag-usab pay layog ninyo.
A reliable source close to the camp of Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Paz Radaza said that a warrant of arrest on her involvement in the alleged multi-billion-peso fictitious loan applications that led to the bankruptcy of Rural Bank of Subangdaku may be out soon.
Paz, who was the bank president then, along with other bank officers, was indicted in the cases filed by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. (PDIC) before a court in Manila. PDIC, which placed the bank under receivership after it declared bankruptcy, found several fictitious loans amounting to P6 billion. This case is bailable, though.
Last month, Paz posted bail before the Sandiganbayan on her alleged involvement in the anomalous use of Girls Scout of the Philippines (GSP) Cebu Council funds taken from the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) of former fourth district congresswoman Clavel Asas-Martinez. Paz was the council's treasurer.
Martinez channeled some P16 million from her PDAF funds to the GSP bank account but withdrew it later and deposited it to her personal account, leaving only some P600,000 as donation to GSP.
I maybe too presumptuous but I am quite sure that these cases filed against Mayor Radaza have affected her personally and her governance in the city. It is not easy to face cases in court, especially if these have something to do with graft and corruption. It is very agonizing. Lapu-Lapu City is improving economically and is branding itself as the "historic resort city."
Sige lang Ma'am Paz, kun sa Tagalog pa, pagsubok lamang yan.

I had to get the XXXL. Good stuff.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have a large noggin... 7 5/8 if I recall correctly but the XXXL is what my head fit best. The XXL was just a bit too tight on my head. I like the depth of these. It doesn't look like a mushroom cap on my head. It came with a visor on the padded headband. I know I could order a headband without the visor but instead used a knife to start the removal of the row of stitches holding the visor on. A good solid pull took it the rest of the way off. The removal didn't damage the headband.

I was wondering if wearing goggles interferes with the sun visor. Or would I have to buy the other non visor liner in order to use googles?

Wonderful Helmet
I had no idea a helmet could be this comfortable...Feels true to size..I wear 7 3/8 and 7 1/4 fitted hats, and size Large fits perfect plus the helmet is adjustable.. Great Peripheral Vision, Doesn't feel like a mushroom on your head, Well Ventilated, Comfortable, Lightweight, Full Head Protection...BIG THUMBS UP!

Is the graphic a sticker or is it part of the finish? Thanx!

Hey Dee,
Part of the finish.
Best helmet I have owned!
I love this helmet! All these years of bicycling I have worn helmet's that sit on top of your head and you always know they are there, plus they don't really offer protection for the back of your head. This helmet fits so good you will think you are wearing your favorite hat. I liked the Bern Brentwood so well, I also bought a Bern G2. You won't go wrong with this helmet.

Needed some modifications
I got this helmet for riding in the city during the winter and so far it has proven to be warmer than my road helmet. Very comfortable fit and you easily forget you're wearing it.
I ride a rode bike and in the forward riding position the pad on the back makes the helmet tilt forward over your eyes. I took that off and ended up taking the adjustable support as well. It still doesn't move at even if it is unlatched.
Awesome helmet, just know that if you are not in an upright position while riding the padding in the back effect the way it sits on your head

Bern Brentwood Helmet - Mostly Awesome
The helmet is really comfortable and looks awesome! The visor keeps some sun off my face, it stays cool, doesn't shake around on my head and and most importantly it doesnt feel like I'm wearing a giant stryofoam box. I would give it 5 stars but for some reason the top of the helmet has a bunch of dimples...like someone thumped it over and over with a mini-hammer - which isn't cool.
Jon S.
Berns look cool!
These are great helmets. There light, look good and fit low on your head rather than on top of your head. Mine looked just slightly crooked on my head though. I only noticed it when I first got it and was checkin my self out in the mirror. Could be my head too! I like that you can change liners for winter and it is made for more than one sport. I bmx, mtn bike, snowboard and skate a little. It seems like it is hard to find the liners though. I will need the winter one soon, and the goggle clip also. Sick helmet though!

Question about the G9 vs. the G10. I'd like to purchase on or the other and I'm stuck between the features.If anyone was going to make that purchase right now which one and why?The biggest knock for me is the wider angle on the G10 and the fact that they are the same price..... Should we expect to see price drops on the G9?Also what other cameras in the same range or cheaper would you go for if your main concerns were outdoor photos for landscapes and macros without carrying an SLR. I'd like it to accept a hood and close up lenses and have true color. I like the new nikon P6000 or even the P5100 to save a few bucks but cant find any info on attachment of a hood or close up lenses. Anything similar to the lensmate for a nikon?One other thing is that the new nikon is only windows compatible for raw??? I don't shoot raw and don't plan to for a while but will have this camera for a while and when I move to that would like the functionality for my mac. Just a little irritating for future functionality as I get more into photography.Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi Jason,The G10 wider angle lens makes it much more desirable IMHO, but I would caution wait-and-see on how good the image quality is, until we know how the monstrous pixel count affects it.The G9 also has a reputation of acquiring dust on the sensor, so hopefully that's been addressed.Have you looked at the Panny LX3?
I hear you on the pixel count; one of my concerns as well. I really wish they'd stop increasing that if they are going to leave the sensor size the same.I've looked at the LX3 and everything looks great; except the 2.5x zoom and the view finder issue; if I'm going to attach a view finder to a hotshoe I'd like it to be an actual evf like ricoh's. Sensor size and megapixels look great though.Fuji did a good job on the sensor size of the F100fd but then crapped out on manual controls, view finder, and an adaptor ring; macro could be a little closer focus too. That one has potential if they'd consider beefing it up a little bit for the prosumer market.I've been following this market for a while and it seems like the manufactures are purposely ignoring the features that would make these great cameras for fear of losing some SLR customers.

The average salary for a Neurosurgeon is $393,070 per year. A skill in Spine Surgery is associated with high pay for this job.
A neurosurgeon is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of neurological conditions. A qualified candidate for this position must be board certified. Neurosurgeons often work as part of a team of specialized doctors in hospitals and other health care facilities. In addition to treatment of patients, they may teach medical students. Neurosurgeons are also sometimes required to oversee medical residents, particularly when working in a teaching hospital.Read More...
Neurosurgeons are often required to evaluate patients for neurological conditions; and must be able to effectively and efficiently make a positive or negative diagnosis, and administer treatment when necessary. This sometimes requires surgical procedures, which a neurosurgeon may personally administer.
It is vitally important that a neurosurgeon is able to properly handle the documentation of data pertaining to their patients' treatment. This is especially important due to the delicate nature of neurological medicine. This data consists of diagnosis details, treatment schedules (including medications), as well as any other information relating to their patients' health.
A neurosurgeon is usually required to interact regularly with their patients. This is necessary during diagnosis and treatment, as well as in the process of assisting the patient in medical decisions. It is the physician's duty to ensure that the patient is properly informed so that they are able to choose a course of action for their treatment that they are comfortable with, and that will best help them recover. In order to achieve this goal, the physician must discuss all possible courses of action, as well as all risks to the patient.

How can I input data from a textfile into an environment variable?
I tried this but it does not work correctly:
SET version < test.txt
The textfile contains
I would like to read in each Version number to store in a separate variable, which then can be used in Visual Source safe.
set version1 = 356
set version2 = 29
set version 3 = 73
set version 4 = 15
Followed by Source safe command:
- ss pin <directory> -V%version1%
Thank you for your help
Andrew Ashcroft
I don't know anything about Source Safe
but this help
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set No=0
for /f %%a in (x.txt) do (
set /a No+=1
set Version!No!=%%a
set name
Thank you.
It now seems to store the data from the text file but I only end up with 1 variable storing the last value.
version!No! = 356
Im not really familiar with Batch files but is it not possible to do IF statements to specify which variable to set?
For example within the For Loop:
IF No=1
set version 1 = %%a
IF No=2
set version 2 = %%a
Either that or there is alteranative syntax for Version!No! = %%aa
Thanks again
Put echo in front of the 2nd set command.
I get the listing below, what do you get.
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set No=0
for /f %%a in (x.txt) do (
set /a No+=1
echo set Version!No!=%%a
Output of above command
x.txt contains no's 1-10
using the command "SET"
set Version1=1
set Version2=2
set Version3=3
set Version4=4
set Version5=5
set Version6=6
set Version7=7
set Version8=8
set Version9=9
set Version10=10
Hi dtech10
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
Hi Mechanic
I wrote a batch program to calculate the old file date problem, which is a simpler than my previos version.
I just need to test it, I'll post it here shortly, it's only for WinXp ect.
I might try and write one for MsDos but thats a different kettle of fish.
"I might try and write one for MsDos but thats a different kettle of fish."
Let the congregation say amen.

The Major Frauds Section investigates and prosecutes some of the most significant "white-collar crime" cases in the country. The section is comprised of approximately 33 experienced federal prosecutors, and is nationally recognized not only for the size and sophistication of the cases it handles, but for the breadth of its caseload.
In the area of corporate and securities fraud, the Major Frauds Section is well known for the major cases it has successfully prosecuted involving corporate fraud, corporate embezzlement, securities and accounting fraud, insider trading, and stock manipulation. The section is equally adept at prosecuting other kinds of investor frauds, including international mass marketing frauds, Ponzi schemes, boiler rooms, loan modification schemes, and identity theft rings. The cases brought by the section frequently involve losses to victims totaling tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars.
In addition to the cases it brings on behalf of private individuals, the Major Frauds Section handles a broad array of highly significant cases involving fraud against the government. The section has a specialized unit dedicated to attacking health care fraud, and in recent years, that unit has successfully prosecuted major cases involving hospitals, doctors, home health agencies, diagnostic testing facilities, medical clinics, and durable medical equipment suppliers. The section also handles significant cases of procurement fraud (including fraud involving Recovery Act funds), government program fraud, bankruptcy fraud, and tax evasion. In addition, the section handles major cases of fraud against banks, mortgage companies, and other financial institutions, including cases involving the Troubled Asset Relief Program funds.
Members of the Major Frauds Section serve as coordinators for a number of task forces and working groups, including the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, the Securities and Commodities Fraud Working Group, the Health Care Fraud Task Force, Operation Canadian Eagle/Project Emptor, the Financial Institution Fraud Task Force, the Bankruptcy Fraud Working Group; the Insurance Fraud Task Force; the High Intensity Financial Crime Area Program, and the Identity Theft Task Force.
The Major Frauds Section works closely with investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, U.S. Secret Service, Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Trade Commission, and Commodity Futures Trading Commission, as well as with Inspectors General from a wide number of government agencies.

Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, President Bush asked the American public to "never entertain outrageous conspiracy theories." The irony of his statement is easily lost.

Five minutes before the Pentagon was hit on September 11, 2001, a training exercise being run by a US intelligence agency just over 20 miles from the Pentagon was set to include the scenario of a small private jet plane crashing into a building. It is unclear whether the scenario was played out, or if the exercise had been called off by that time.
Important details of the exercise, which was being conducted by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) at its headquarters in Chantilly, Virginia, are revealed in a document obtained by the 9/11 Commission.…Continue reading

Numerous media outlets have contacted 911truth.org, asking us to "make sense" of Van Jones' "strange" behavior. We have issued the following statement:
As the eighth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, what doesn't make sense to us is that media outlets choose to impugn the character of the signatories rather than carry out your responsibility as watchdogs to call attention to the as yet unanswered questions raised in the 2004 statement. Five years later, we challenge you to finally print those same unanswered questions and pursue their answers with the same vigor with which you pursue the signatories.

Former Student Filed Lawsuit Claiming Civil Rights Were Violated
A federal appeals court has ruled that former Attorney General John Ashcroft may be held liable for people who were wrongfully detained as material witnesses after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
In a harshly worded ruling handed down Friday, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals called the government's use of material witnesses after Sept. 11 "repugnant to the Constitution and a painful reminder of some of the most ignominious chapters of our national history."
The court found that a man who was detained as a witness in a federal terrorism case can sue Ashcroft for allegedly violating his constitutional rights.…

Joe Trento discusses our history with Iran — from the Mossadeq Era to the recent twitter campaign, Zbigniew Brzezinski's foreign policy strategy and objectives in the region, and he talks about Israel, Saudi Arabia's backing of Pakistan's pursuit of the nuclear bomb and AQ Khan, the terrible state of US Media, the prospect of 'real change,' and more.

'Sharktopus' Trailer: Part Shark, Part Octopus, All Awesome
No, we're not talking about Charles Atlas. It's 'Sharktopus,' and the trailer for the upcoming Syfy movie has been posted on the Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed. Sharktopus is part shark, part octopus, and darn it, he has a heart.
In the beginning of the trailer he saves a girl from being eaten by a real shark. Then some one in a laboratory flips a switch and Sharktopus is off on a rampage for the rest of trailer. Blame the Navy and the requisite evil scientist (Eric Roberts, how about that) who either created Sharktopus from scratch or tamed him -- we can't tell.
"The Navy said it wanted a killing machine and that's exactly what I gave them, but greatness comes at a price,'' says Roberts' mad scientist before a quick cut to an unsuspecting girl bungee jumping into the Sharktopus' mouth.
It's a wonderful thing, the fantasy world conjured up by CG animation and fake tentacles.
'Sharktopus,' produced by Syfy and B-movie legend Roger Corman, is the latest in the channel's campy creatures original movie programming. Interestingly, or maybe not so, the movies often feature mutant reptiles and fish: 'Dinocroc vs Supergator,' 'Mega Piranha,' 'Mega Snake' and 'Dinoshark.' Mammals need not apply. There's lot of buzz for the upcoming 'Mega Python vs. Gatoroid,' which also features a showdown between '80s music icons Deborah Gibson and Tiffany.
Judging by what we've seen, the Sharktopus would make mince meat out of both Mega Python and Gatoroid. Or chum, if you prefer.

Recommendations and decisions to use "least toxic pesticides" and "pesticides as a last resort" have flourished in the last decade, but according to three scientific organizations the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA), the American Phytopathological Society (APS) and the Plant-Insect Ecosystems Section of the Entomological Society of America (P-IE ESA) these are not the correct approaches to the pesticide component of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.
The three organizations have joined to take an objective look at the problems associated with "least toxic pesticides" applied as a "last resort" and today issued the following statement:
IPM is Fundamental Wherever Pests Must Be Controlled
It is essential to practice IPM, whether managing weeds, insect pests or plant diseases on the farm, on commercial sites, on public lands, or in or around the home. Key components of IPM include making the habitat unfavorable for pests, excluding pests where feasible, using proper sanitation practices, monitoring the infestation level, knowing the pest tolerance level for the specific situation and implementing the necessary management practices.
Judicious use of pesticides is a critical component of many IPM programs. Judicious (careful) use refers to various practices following all label directions and making all appropriate stewardship decisions required in the particular situation. This includes applying a product registered for the target pest(s) after accurate pest identification, and consideration of the level of infestation and the potential for economic, health or other negative pest impacts. Careful use extends beyond pesticides to household chemicals, automobiles, medicines, alcoholic beverages, and countless other products that are part of our daily lives.

I have been thinking about the resurgence of wool as a fiber for outdoor clothes, and the fact that people seem to be using silk for a number of uses. I am wondering if linen might be due for a revival. I read up on it today, and I found out that it is structurally quite different from cotton, although both are cellulose fibers. Linen, however, is a bast fiber, and it is made of long continuous hollow tubes, basically. It behaves differently from cotton in a number of ways: it attracts moisture more quickly and it releases it more quickly. In other words, it is WICKING! However, it may not be very warm when wet. Perhaps it is not as bad for you as wet cotton, however. Linen is rarely knitted into tee shirts; it's almost always woven. So you don't have the wet tee shirt that will never dry, as with cotton tee shirts. Lightweight woven linen seems to dry pretty fast, and I suspect that the fibers don't collapse when wet as cotton fibers do, since they are more rigid. It seems to be highly anti-microbial. I wear the same linen shirt for days and it doesn't smell bad.In European cultures, it seems to have been the original base layer, under wool. Perhaps more northern people also wore a soft wool undershirt under their linen shirt or chemise.Linen fabric can be quite light, although I don't have any exact figures for weight per square yard. I think it could be as light as silk, though, as in handkerchief linen.Just wondering if anybody knows why it is not favored by manufacturers for outdoor clothing. Of course, there's nothing stopping us home sewers from making some base layers out of linen.
Shannon,Go for it. I'd like to know how it works out and if you find good sources. If you do, put them in the 'materials sourcing' thread under 'make your own gear.'
I haven't tried their linen yet, but Silk Road Fabrics in Austin, TX, has different weights of linen, including handkerchief linen, for a good price. They have a website and I will find the link and post it.
Search and rescue people frown on many natural fiber garments, especially cotton. If wet, they take too long to dry. If something goes wrong during the outing, wet garments can risk your life - hypothermia related stuff. That's why jeans are a bid no-no. Cotton-poly aren't as risky. Nylon and other synthetics dry much faster.In many respects, my linen clothes behave similar to the cotton ones.
Strangely this week I've been looking at linen for summer wear. A local department store is stocking linen/silk mix casual trousers very cheaply. That would be an excellent summer combination. I've also been looking at making a sun hood based on a medieval hood based on linen and polycotton.Wet linen is still comfortable-ish against the skin.COmmercially there tends to be two weights of linen available - suit-weight and shirt-weight. The shirt-weight stuff makes it into shirts and very light trousers or shorts. Suit-weight stuff is about 2-3 times the weight but would be better for longer hiking trousers.Linen is not however going to be ultralight. For warm weather I'm currently rather sold on poly/cotton kilts/skirts but I'm also tempted to look at linen.My current combination for most weather is to have a poly-cotton kiltish thing for warmer weather and a pair of zip-offs in cordura for cold-weather and bushwhacking. The current kilt weighs in at over 200g - about half the weight of the trousers and comparable to shorts but the extra comfort justifies the extra weight.
Having read this thread, I decided to wear some breezy linen pants and a linen shirt on a day hike. It was very hot (75 to 80 F)and steep (Blanca Lake trail, WA--2700 foot elevation gain in 3 miles and basically shaded by trees the entire way). Not long after we started (the first mile of roadwalk to the trailhead--road is closed due to washouts) we soaked out shirts in an ice cold stream and put them on. My shirt dried quite fast with body heat, the button plackets, cuffs and collar taking longer than the single layer body. Later on a break, the otherwise dry shirt was drenched with perspiration under the straps and on the back, under the pack. It was more or less dry after 10-15 minutes with the pack off (in the warm shade). Since I'm a sun nerd and like to stay covered (usually with an overly heavy ventilated nylon sun-shirt), I would consider a linen shirt on sunny hikes although it offers no wind resistance and is otherwise non multitasking just because it is such a delight to wear although I'd worry about UV exposure with the thinnest weights. The weight of the shirt was comparable to my nylon shirt (although both are too heavy at 7 ounces), but a custom shirt could perhaps be made lighter by eliminating double layer cuffs, etc. The pants, while comfortable where just too heavy although I might feel differently in an extremely hot sunny climate.
Why not indeed? I just scored some very nice light linen trousers from a charity shop which are very pleasant for summer walking. Before that I was using cotton twill prana climbing trousers, which I ripped the a*se out of on some thorns in Sardinia. Nylon? oh yes, they make overtrousers outy of that don't they. :-)In winter, it's wool tights and merino shirt with Paramo's on top.Poly base layers? Poooh!
Let me add that while it was nice to wear, a sunshirt and long pants were not the best clothes for this dayhike because the majority of it was shaded so no sun protection was needed--a point driven home the next day when I repeated the hike (lighter and fast to collect my carelessly clipped pocketknife!) in my (handmade 1 ounce) hiking skirt and my bra and this evaporative cooling was better on the hot shaded trail.

Q: How much will I get in benefits each month based on the record of my former spouse?
A: The most that you, as a divorced spouse, can get is an amount equal to 50 percent of what your spouse is due at his full retirement age. But to get that 50 percent, you've got to wait until you've reached your own full retirement age. Otherwise, you'll get a discounted amount. For instance, if you claim at age 62, you'll get only 35 percent of his or her full benefit.
One more thing: The spouse's benefit is always based on the full retirement benefit of the worker, even if that person began receiving before reaching that age.
Q: Will the benefits paid to me as a divorced spouse or surviving divorced spouse be affected if benefits are being paid to members of my ex-spouse's new family?
A: No. Your benefits will not be affected. They will even be exempted from the so-called family maximum, a rule that can reduce benefits if multiple members of a family are collecting at the same time on a single work record.
Q. How do I apply for a divorced spouse's benefits?
A: You can apply online at socialsecurity.gov or by calling Social Security at 800-772-1213 (TTY 800-325-0778). Or visit a Social Security office. An appointment, Social Security advises, is not necessary, but if you call ahead and schedule one, it may reduce your waiting time.
When you apply, Social Security will ask you to provide several documents to show that you're eligible. These documents may include:
- Your birth certificate or other proof of your birth.
- Proof of citizenship or lawful alien status if you were not born in the United States.
- U.S. military discharge papers if you had military service before 1968.
- W-2 forms or self-employment tax forms for last year.
- Final divorce decree, if you're applying as a divorced spouse.
- Marriage certificate.
Social Security also may ask applicants various questions about their histories. Don't be offended! Officials need to make sure that everyone who gets a benefit deserves it. For more details, see: Information You Need to Apply for Spouse's or Divorced Spouse's Benefits.
