His predecessor's decision to shun the deal last year and work with Russia instead unleashed deadly strife that led to the ouster of the nation's President, the loss of Crimea and a pro-Russia separatist rebellion.
Sealing the deal may be the second-most important moment in Ukraine's history, Poroshenko said, after its independence from Russia.
Poroshenko said the signing "shows how dramatically things can change in a short time, if the will of the people is strong enough."
And he paid tribute, on what he described as a "great day" in the nation's history, to Ukrainians who lost their lives when protests over closer ties with Europe turned bloody.
"The document we will sign today is not just political and economic, it is a symbol of faith and unbreakable will," he said.
"It is a tribute to people who gave their lives and health to make this moment happen and it is the strongest reminder that today's Europe must and will be about people's determination to live in a better and safer world."
Poroshenko said that in signing the association agreement, he was making the unilateral statement that his country has underlined its choice of future membership in the European Union.
And he signaled to Russia that its efforts to undermine the closer unification of Europe would fail in the face of Ukraine's determination to pursue its European dreams.
He used the same pen intended for use in November, before former President Viktor Yanukovych turned his back on the agreement in favor of closer ties with Moscow.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Russian state TV that signature of the agreement is a "sovereign right" but that "Russia will undertake its measures."
Van Rompuy: Security, stability, prosperity
The EU-Ukraine Association Agreement calls for a free trade zone and for Ukraine to adhere to European values such as democracy and human rights.
It will allow for the country to participate in common border protection and security processes.
In remarks before the signing, the president of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, also remembered those who died in Ukraine.
"In Kiev and elsewhere, people gave their lives for this closer link to the European Union," he said.
"We will not forget this."
Van Rompuy said that closer political and economic ties would bring greater security, stability and prosperity to Ukraine and the two other former Soviet states also signing EU Association Agreements on Friday, Georgia and Moldova.
"Our joint goal is your full integration into the market of the European Union," Van Rompuy told the three leaders, adding that they must push forward with necessary reforms.
He also expressed the solidarity of the European Union with the three nations in the face of Ukraine's "very difficult" security situation, and the "uncertainties" looming over Georgia and Moldova's relationships with Russia.
At the same time, he stressed that Russia had nothing to fear from those nations' closer ties with Europe, adding that the European Union would engage with Russia to work for peace.
Escalating conflict?
As Ukraine's government works to quell the violence in the country's east, Poroshenko said Thursday that negotiations with Russian separatists in that area will continue Friday, the day his unilaterally declared cease-fire expires.
Peace is possible if Russian President Vladimir Putin is in the right mood, he said.
"Sometimes, the position of Mr. Putin is quite pragmatic, sometimes it is very emotional," Poroshenko told CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Thursday in an exclusive interview.
"I just try to find out the time when he is more pragmatic than emotional."
The talks are intended to end fighting that threatens to escalate into a broader conflict.
"I am optimistic and I'm thinking that within a few weeks, maybe months, we can have a deal to establish peace," Poroshenko said from Brussels.
Putin has agreed to negotiations that will include an EU representative, Poroshenko said.
"We do not expect any immediate negative reaction," he said.
"I'm ready to make a peace deal with anybody," he said.
He is also ready to fight if necessary, but said, "I hate the idea not to use the last opportunity to bring the peace to the region."
At the same time, he made clear that in his mind, the Russian annexation of Crimea -- which has an ethnic Russian majority -- cannot stand.
Crimea is Ukrainian, he said.
He made the same point in his remarks Friday, when he said that "all Ukraine, including Crimea" will be associated with the European Union.
Russia and Ukraine have been engaged in a tense standoff since the annexation in March, when Russia also massed troops along its western border with Ukraine.
Cease-fire running out
Despite Poroshenko's cease-fire declared last week, violence continues.
On Thursday, a Ukrainian national guard base came under attack in Donetsk, Anti-Terrorist Operation unit spokesman Vladislav Seleznyov said.
Ukrainian troops were able to repel the attack, but were bracing for another assault.
Two days earlier, Ukrainian authorities said pro-Russia militants shot down a military helicopter in eastern Ukraine, killing nine.
Friday's negotiations must show some progress before his unilateral cease-fire expires at the end of the day, the President said.
He seeks a commitment to negotiations, the release of hostages, a mutual cease-fire and the withdrawal of Russian-backed forces from Ukraine.
"All the troops on Ukrainian territory are Russian, they are Russian citizens," he alleged, adding that separatist leaders were from the Russian secret service.
"If that continues, it is a real war."
Putin has shown signs of detente.
On Wednesday, Russia's upper house of parliament voted, at his request, to revoke the President's right to use troops in Ukraine.
Poroshenko said the Russian President recently vowed not to take economic revenge for the move of the former Soviet satellite state toward the West.

Ill be Your Puppet If Youll Ride Shotgun
New Orleans has its own force of gravity -- it's stronger and more targeted than the scientific law governing the rest of nature. At feeding time, the city attracts those it sees fit like a giant magnet and swallows others entirely, allowing them the privilege to experiment deep in the city's fertile, musical belly. Call it voodoo if you like, but the act known as Quintron and Miss Pussycat might correct you, referring to it simply as love.
It has been about a decade since Quintron, a musician, was pulled in. He was in New Orleans to play a gig at the Pussycat Cavern, a venue that was helmed by a promising young puppeteer named Miss Pussycat. "That's how we met," says Quintron. "I moved there right after my tour ended."
The duo plays off of one another's strengths: Quintron riles up crowds into feverish dance frenzies, while Miss Pussycat enchants them with elaborate puppet plots brought to life. Quintron pounds the keyboards of his organ and Fender Rhodes, which are, by the way, impregnated into the chassis of a Lincoln Town Car Limousine. Miss Pussycat, meanwhile, chirps cheerleaderish back-ups while jumping and fluttering about the stage, pumping a set of maracas. When it's time for a fairy tale, Quintron lends a hand (or two) and his voice to Miss Pussycat's puppet kingdom, so that the stuffed fellows might experience their Maximum Puppet Potential.
Quintron and Miss Pussycat shows provide more than just an alternative to the apathetic club scene, they're intriguing, positively darling, and they're where you'll hear the most booty-shaking big tent revival music ever to seep from the swamp. What exactly is it that they're reviving? "I think we're trying to raise up something that there's not even a word for, and that's why it's so much fun," says Miss Pussycat. Fall in love with their beautiful experiment tonight at Churchill's Pub (5501 NE Second Ave., Miami); They have lab assistants in the Electric Bunnies, and Mr. Entertainment and the Pookiesmackers. Doors are at 9 p.m., and tickets cost $10. Buy them at ticketweb.com.

A suicide bomber blew himself up outside a mosque in southern Iran on Friday killing one other person after military personnel prevented him from getting among worshippers inside the building, Iranian media reported.
The bomber set off his explosive belt a few hundreds metres outside the Imam Hossein mosque in the city of Chabahar, killing one of Iran's Basij militia and injuring another, Fars news agency reported.
Chabahar is in Sistan-Baluchistan province, near the Pakistan border, and has a history of unrest. More than 30 people were killed at the same mosque in an attack by two suicide bombers in December, 2010.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › more breathable hiking shirts?
Jan 25, 2012 at 6:04 am #1284647
Has anyone seen a hiking shirt that is more like a dress shirt in breathability? I used to use a few different hiking shirts but found I could not wear them above the low 80s because I would start to overheat in them and just started using a dress shirt the last summer. The only draw back to it was that it was half cotton and prone to getting wet and chilly in lower temps if I used it in my kit but it did stink a lot less. The main purpose of the shirt is to keep the bugs off, the sun off some, layering and a little bit of class if I need it.
I have heard the RailRiders Bone Flats shirt is pretty good but I don't know and don't have $80 to find out.
Jan 25, 2012 at 6:12 am #1829374Look at shirts marketed towards fly fishing. Like LL Beans' offerings. Most "technical" oxford type shirts vent on the back though. Something to look for. For me anything above the low 80's anymore means very hot. Happy hunting.
Jan 25, 2012 at 6:33 am #1829384I use a Bone Flats shirt from Railriders. Great shirt for high temps. I bought the white one for sun protection. I usually drench it in sweat but it dries off super fast in any sort of breeze. Full button front is excellent for ventilation. And the large but low profile chest pockets are excellent.
I have the pants from them too, but prefer a similar pair from Exofficio.
Jan 25, 2012 at 6:45 am #1829388I really like the Columbia silver ridge hiking shirts, they have changed the name a few times, think its Columbia titanium something now. My favorite hiking shirt by far
Jan 25, 2012 at 7:26 am #1829399When I hike over a big range of temperatures, lets say 40 F to over 100F, then I wear a Rail Riders Eco-Mesh. It does a great job. But I am going to sweat in anything when it gets above 80F if I have a pack on. With the RR the seat is mostly on my back.
Jan 25, 2012 at 12:12 pm #1829537I have an Eco-Mesh and it is a bit stifling as the temps get closer to 85F
Jan 25, 2012 at 12:49 pm #1829556Something to take into consideration is different physiology's and climate locations. I live in one of the hottest deserts in the US, so what works for me and I how handle heat is different than many others. Also, typically I hike in very low humidity.
Jan 25, 2012 at 12:50 pm #1829558any good somewhat perforated running shirt … try it on in store and run around a bit … you should feel the heat flow out
runners tend to be hot people … and i dont just mean in looks ;)
Jan 25, 2012 at 12:55 pm #1829564Following eric's suggestion, I have a RR Eco-Mesh T shirt that is perforated and very good in heat, but you did mention you got cold in cotton when the temps drop. In really hot weather, if I am near water sources, I like cotton… I soak it in water and when it dries I do it again. Great method in the Grand Canyon. I also still have a 1980's REI perforated tank top and a T shirt with a single snap neck that I used a lot years ago.
Jan 25, 2012 at 1:35 pm #1829580Let me clarify that if the shirt gets wet it can get a bit chilly at lower temps because of the cotton. Really, it does not bother me because I don't get it wet. Just looking for synthetic as more of an insurance policy. I should test the dress shirt because it is really thin and is 50/50 so it might dry really fast and then I would have no worries.
Jan 25, 2012 at 2:41 pm #1829619I made the switch to hiking in dress shirts about 3 years ago and now use them exclusively for all my 3-season wilderness travel. The versatilty–sleeves up or down, unbutton to vent, collar to ward of sun or wind–is unmatched, plus they can be had for around $2 at flea-markets and used clothing stores. I have one that is 60/40 cotton but still dries in a flash because the weave of the fabric is so flat. Dress shirts are a significant improvement over the coolmax variety of shirts I wore previously.
Jan 25, 2012 at 2:45 pm #1829622I got a bunch of wool long-sleeve dress shirts through SierraTradingPost.com. They are merino wool, styled exactly like a dress shirt (because they are) and I use most of them as such. But I've historically used my beater cotton dress shirts for hot weather hiking and I'm using a few of these for outdoors wear too. The breathability is very high and I like the collar for mroe sun blocking. I'd use them in hot weather and I prefer them in cold or mixed conditions over cotton.
I got them at something like $13 through STP's 75% markdown and another 40% coupon. They seem to have one pretty foo-foo color left in odd sizes at $21:
plus some other colors in cotton at $13. RTK is the brand.
A little bit of class can help a lot when your hitchhiking to or from a trailhead!
Jan 25, 2012 at 3:20 pm #1829633if you're talking about the most breathable shirt, then it's probably sunny and you need sun protection
mesh shirt offers little sun protection, may as well just take shirt off
baggy nylon supplex shirt offers good sun protection, but it's not real breathable, bagginess helps
sun protection requires the threads in the fabric to be close together with no gaps which means it's not so breathable
Jan 25, 2012 at 3:31 pm #1829638"may as well just take shirt off"
Isn't that the best way to hike? Do it often, but then I have a Mediterranean complexion and normally a good tan. However, I do at least wear shorts :)
Jan 25, 2012 at 3:40 pm #1829643I have some craft "arm coolers" that boast 50+ UPF sun protection. They look goofy, but they're cooler than anything I've worn (or not worn). I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my torso in this situation.
Jan 25, 2012 at 4:02 pm #1829660mesh shirt offers little sun protection, may as well just take shirt off
running companies figured it out a long time ago … theres alot of money in running … backpackers will try to reinvent the wheel and call it new ;)
look for running shirts with SPF protection … very few backpackers go as hard as people running marathons and other such i suspect .. or have to deal with as much sweating in hot conditions …
running companies often make a SPF shirt with perforated sides and possibly back as well … even rail riders makes one i believe with SPF protection
CRAFT offers the coolest solution for hot summer
activities: the Cool Tee with Mesh with is extremely
lightweight, yet heavily loaded with function! The test
winning COOL material guarantees effective moisture
transportation, great ventilation, is soft and elastic
and provides maximum sun protection (UPF 50+). This makes
the Cool Tee with Mesh a fantastic versatile piece, which
keeps you cool on days when temperatures go from hot to
Jan 25, 2012 at 4:19 pm #1829666Egyptian cotton just classes-up the trail, know what I'm sayin'? I use button compasses on my cufflinks, usually, but I am looking for a firesteel set… I wove a tie out of paracord.
I like the fishing/tech shirts which enable me to ventilate via the caped back, choose between rolled or unfurled sleeves and can be soaked in pyrethrin so I can assure myself at least one or two mosquitos has died a twitchy death before giving me dengue fever. My best shirt is one marketed as a fishing shirt, but BSA just released a hi-tech, caped hiking Uniform shirt that has be figuring ways to UL my Class A's…
Jan 25, 2012 at 4:56 pm #1829685"Has anyone seen a hiking shirt that is more like a dress shirt in breathability?"
Arc'teryx Motus LS crew neck. Excellent breathability, SPF 53, quick drying, and <4 oz in a size S. At $75 it ain't cheap, but I love this piece for Sierra hiking, and from what I can tell on hot East Side Sierra ascents it would be great for desert hiking as well. If you are a REI member, you get a $7.50 dividend rebate.
Jan 25, 2012 at 5:37 pm #1829718@tom: Says it's the same fabric as the Phase SL ($65). Sounds like it might be the Spring 2012 replacement for the Phase SL, which means sales. It's lighter than Patagonia's Cap 1 (UPF 15)…
Jan 25, 2012 at 6:46 pm #1829742Motus is the same fabric different fit and features reflective striping because its a running designed tee. phase stuff is really fitted. there wont discontinue either one this season
Jan 25, 2012 at 7:59 pm #1829763Thanks for clearing that up Robert.
Jan 25, 2012 at 10:53 pm #1829812I'm going to also back up the Arc'teryx phase SL material. It is by far the lightest and most breathable shirt I've ever worn. I have a long sleeve and it's my default shirt for summer. I'm glow in the dark white AZ native (my mom's hispanic and my dad is irish that tans, I must be adopted), so I feel my skin "burning" in summer almost instantly. The Phase SL is the only shirt I've found that keeps the sun off but breathes enough so that I actually feel like I'm in a breezy shade.
The material also wicks sweat away so well that it provides a great cooling effect. It's not the warmest under 60dF (I shiver at mid 70s though so YMMV).
Jan 26, 2012 at 7:25 am #1829898But wouldn't these shirts also add warmth? And they are not exactly loose for the warm temps.
Jan 26, 2012 at 7:35 am #1829902I've never unnderstood why you'd want something to wick sweat away when you're hot. Kind of kills the natural cooling cycle, doesn't it?
And despite our love of pricy logos, I have to call $2 thrift store shirts for the win.
Jan 26, 2012 at 10:58 am #1829995I think the biggest thing to consider is the humidity of the area you'll be hiking in. I'm in Minnesota now, but lived in FL for the first 22 years of my life, so I can safely say that I've done the vast majority of my sweating in very humid, very sunny conditions.
In that type of weather, sweat just does not evaporate like it does in low humidity. By wearing cotton, all you're doing is making yourself soaking wet with very little cooling effect. With a shirt that wicks sweat, you will be noticeably cooler because it will at least give the sweat a fighting chance to evaporate, though you'll most likely still be soaked. There's a reason why football players in FL who wear cotton shirts under their pads will literally cut off every inch of fabric they can. It ends up looking like a sports bra and is simply there to prevent the pads from chafing. I've even seen this done with wicking shirts as well because those sometimes prevent evaporation as well.
IMO the most versatile type of shirt for hiking in hot conditions is a super thin nylon fishing shirt, WHITE in color, and with mesh vents on the sides, under the arms, and under flaps on the back. It's the same as with WP/B rain jackets. No matter how breathable the material, the best way to dump heat and moisture is to vent! The built in vents, buttons for adjustable venting, and collar for added sun protection can't really be beat.
If I knew I was going to be in a desert, then I'd probably go with a cotton or 50/50 type dress shirt simply because I know the sweat is going to evaporate there. I don't have much experience in those conditions, but I can certainly imagine that the evaporative cooling effect would be worth it. Unfortunately I'm used to sweat just dripping off rather than evaporating.

>Variety is the Red Sea's trump card. The place offers such diversity of high-quality underwater adventures that "Red Sea diving" means something different to everyone. It is a hugely popular destination that offers classic reef diving, coral caverns, shark dives, big wrecks, tech diving, freediving and even critter-rich muck diving. With multiple resort hubs split between the main Egyptian coast and the Sinai Peninsula combined with a variety of liveaboard itineraries, there are endless ways to do it. In short, I have a lot to shoehorn into this article.
>At Jackson Reef I giant stride from the dusty desert atmosphere, and I'm in paradise. The first dive of any Red Sea trip is always magical because of the intensity of the transition from the barren landscape to the reef's richness. This reef just screams Red Sea to me: the vertical walls are hung with soft corals, most in characteristic bright red, and dancing around them in the gentle current are thousands of anthias, which always seem much bigger and more purely orange in the Red Sea. Set against the bright, almost electric-blue water, it is a stunning and specific color palette that is unmistakably Egypt. There are places with greater reef diversity or with a wider range of colors and shapes that contribute to the scene, but to my eyes it is the compositional simplicity and intensity of these primary hues that makes these reefs the most beautiful in the world.
>We drift past scores of reef fish to see a hawksbill turtle munching on yellow soft corals, a big school of green unicornfish and a tartan longnose hawkfish in a huge seafan. While we're floating along on our safety stop, a scalloped hammerhead cruises past, effortlessly moving against the current 30 feet below us. The far side of Jackson Reef is well known for schooling hammerheads, and liveaboards often make a dawn dive out into the blue in an attempt to see them. It is a bonus to see one near the coral garden.
>There is plenty of diving north of Tiran, almost all of it shore diving. Rather than owning boats, dive centers load customers into jeeps and gear into trailers and head off road. Groups are usually small, dive sites are quiet, and trips are of good value, but shore diving requires a little more effort than falling in from a boat.
>A two-hour drive north from Sharm El Sheikh is the town of Dahab, which offers a range of shore dives from shallow coral gardens to the enigmatic Blue Hole. Away from the bright lights of Sharm, the Bedouin culture of the Sinai shines. Dahab is a chilled-out place and a hub for both freediving and technical diving. The Blue Hole is a great dive, but a swim through its deep arch should be undertaken only by trained and prepared technical divers. The tunnel is at 180 feet and much longer than it appears from the surface; there's often a current flowing in as well. When accidents happen here, they are not small ones.
>Surprisingly, it was only after muck diving became popular in Asia that divers really started to explore similar habitats in Egypt and intentionally hunt for critters. Once they did, they found many of the same Indo-Pacific species here. If you are a photographer or naturalist who enjoys long, puttering macro dives, you'll find your Red Sea home in the quiet resort towns of the Gulf of Aqaba.
>Another attraction of the shore is the great Red Sea staple: lionfish. Jetties, in particular, always seem to have a resident pride. They're at their most magnificent when a dozen or more are pack hunting for silversides or glassfish just before dusk.
>Red Sea lionfish always seem bigger and bolder than those in other places; in fact it is common for Red Sea lionfish to charge right up to you, warning you to stay off their patch. A fish that swims directly at your lens makes for great photos. At night they follow divers' torch beams around the reef, picking off fish dazzled by the light.
>The jetty in Nuweiba is a classic spot for lionfish reflections, but my abiding memory from a February visit is bitter cold. For the uninitiated (and every visitor needs this spelled out to them), the Red Sea may have coral reefs, but it is very seasonal. At the height of summer the water hits 86°F, and most people dive in bathing suits. But in February and March, with a biting wind and 66°F water, it is completely different — even when the sun is shining. Many Europeans bring drysuits in this season. Foolishly, I didn't, and while it snowed on the hills in Jordan I froze on a coral reef less than 50 miles away.
>Summer is my favorite time of year to visit, and I've logged more than 20 liveaboard weeks here in the June/July window. You don't need to be a fish geek to appreciate it either; this is biology on a grand scale.
>We're at the legendary Ras Mohammed. It's right at the tip of Sinai, and it's the crossroads of the three arms of the Red Sea. The reef here is a spectacular formation with two big pinnacles just yards from shore and a wall that starts at the surface and drops precipitously to a couple of thousand feet. The wall is covered with red and purple soft corals, streamed over by clouds of anthias and populated by reef fish of every kind. There is great macro here, too; I always spy loads of nudibranchs. But today the real attractions lie out in the blue.
>Jutting out into the open Red Sea makes Ras Mohammed an irresistible fish-spawning site, and today, the day after the June new moon, it is heaving. There is a steady current pushing me down the face of the wall and keeping the fish in tight groups, neatly segregated by species. First up are a group of 30 large batfish, but I ignore them instantly because behind them is a huge block of bohar snappers the size of a house. The large individuals are more than two feet long, and they are packed together so tightly it almost gets dark as I drift through the middle. At one point I am suspended in a sphere of clear blue water with a moving wall of big fish on every side. Breathtaking.
>This is truly one of the best dives of my life, and it is not even my best dive at Ras Mohammed. Here I've watched silky sharks stalking barracudas, a napoleon wrasse fight a titan triggerfish to steal its eggs, a manta burst through schooling snappers and even a pod of dolphins hunting.
>This is my favorite dive site in the world, and we're less than an hour from Sharm. I know it is sounds cooler to name somewhere remote, but Ras Mohammed, filled with the summer schools, is one of the world's great wildlife spectacles. A big reason I love the place is that so many people get to experience it.
>Offshore reefs such as Brothers, Elphinstone and Daedalus are the most sharky and tend to be the exclusive domain of liveaboards. The liveaboard-versus-shore-based debate is waged as hotly in Egypt as in many destinations. In addition to the usual arguments, Egyptian liveaboards allow you to escape the heat of the land and avoid the tourist traps, but you miss out on the available après-dive options. While anchorages are well protected, the open Red Sea can be rough. For comfort, most of the best liveaboards today are big boats that accommodate 20 divers or even more. This helps passengers avoid seasickness, but it makes solitude underwater harder to come by.
>It's mid-November at Elphinstone Reef, and I am hoping to see another Red Sea icon: the oceanic whitetip shark. This species was once widespread throughout the warm parts of the world's oceans, but it has been fished near the point of extinction. Elphinstone is one of the few remaining places to see them. Here and now, at the peak of the season, you can see more than 20 individuals in a day. The reef is pretty, too, and shaped a bit like a loaf of bread, with vertical walls, soft corals and schools of fish. But I am distracted, scanning the blue for those unmistakable silhouettes.
>dawn til dusk, but being relatively northerly the water temperature and
>marine life vary through the year.
>I am at Abu Nuhas reef, a small triangular chunk of coral that sticks out just south of the Gulf of Suez. This reef has claimed at least seven ships, and four of them lie along the reef's north face: the Giannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K and Kimon M. All four are big cargo vessels; each has a distinct character, and they're all mostly intact, covered in life and in perfect diving depths.
>You can reach Abu Nuhas either by liveaboard or by day boat from Hurghada. This morning we're heading to the 300-foot-long and 150-year-old Carnatic, a steam-and-sail schooner that sank here with a cargo that included a fortune in gold coins. After being down for so long, the real treasure of this wreck is the amount of marine life. The outside is plastered in coral, but the ship's elegant lines are still clearly visible. Inside I find an obliging school of glassfish being hunted by redmouth groupers.
>Heading back to the liveaboard, our zodiac is joined by a pod of bottlenose dolphins. Our guide indicates that we should jump in, and we don't need to be told twice. It is a magical 15 minutes and a surprisingly regular occurrence, thanks to a semiresident pod at Abu Nuhas.
>Each wreck is a great dive, and debating favorites is common dinner conversation on liveaboards. I have seen many divers come to Abu Nuhas claiming to not enjoy wrecks and leave as addicts. The Red Sea has so many wrecks that some liveaboards offer itineraries dedicated entirely to wreck diving.
>World War II supply ship HMS Thistlegorm, whose cargo of motorbikes,
>locomotives and army trucks can still be seen.
>We've travelled on to the Thistlegorm from Abu Nuhas, and we discover we're not alone. This is one of the world's most popular dive sites, accessible by liveaboards as well as day boats from Sharm El Sheikh (after a 4 a.m. start). It is part and parcel of Red Sea diving that there will always other boats around, but guides are usually skilled at finding you solitude underwater, even if your boat is moored amid others. And most of the dive sites are extensive reefs or massive wrecks, so there is usually room for everyone.
>The Red Sea is a place where lots people first try scuba, and a great many keep coming back. Underwater it offers a lifetime of adventures and so many flavors of diving that it continues to satisfy the palette even as one's tastes in diving change and mature. After your first trip you will find the Red Sea unforgettable, and such is the variety of diving that it will always keep you enthralled.
>The Red Sea is not a short hop from North America; that combined with the jet lag makes it a two-week destination. But it doesn't have to be two weeks of diving. It is actually very simple to combine a week of Red Sea diving with either a vacation in Europe or an extended stay in Egypt — perhaps a week of Egyptology along the Nile.
>Editor's Note: The security situation in Egypt has been subject to change in recent months. Before planning travel, consider checking the U.S. State Department's website or a similar resource.

Looking For GIS Volunteer Opportunities
I am looking for organization that needs GIS volunteers. I have a background in GIS and environmental science and I am hoping to find a volunteer organization where I can apply these skills and help out a good cause. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Try your local land trust. Since the land trust industry is inherently spatial in nature, GIS is a natural fit. In addition, land trusts are non-profits and usually do not have the resources to hire a GIS Specialist or contract GIS work. Your background in Env Sci will also add to your appeal. However, being located in Virginia may be problem. VA basically has one organization that does land trust work instead of multiple, independent land trusts. You could look in Maryland, W. VA, or NC for GIS volunteer work depending upon where you live in VA.
Good luck and thanks for giving your time to volunteer work,

One of the most important concerns of modern man is that of his trash, and how to responsibly dispose of it in order to leave the environment in as good a condition, if not better, than he found it. Gone are the days when our clothing came from the plants we grew or the skins of the animals we killed for meat. We no longer center our lives around a campfire and our waste products are no longer all bio-degradable. Instead, we are called upon to responsibly take care of our trash. The easiest way by far to accomplish this is to use the services of a waste management company such as rjswastemanagement.
Today, we live in a world that, instead of being campfire centered, is petroleum centered. Instead of a campfire, we have a gas or oil burning furnace to keep us warm in the winter. Instead of animal skins, we wear clothing woven from synthetic materials that, like as not, originated with petroleum. We rely heavily on plastics, the world's fourth largest industry, another petroleum product. Products as diverse as ink pens, ointments, perfumes carpeting, shampoo, guitar strings, tape, paint and detergent (to name only a small few) are derived wholly or in part from petroleum products. These products must be properly disposed of if they are not to create unwanted pollution. While the average person has no idea how to properly handle such waste products, simply by contracting with rjswastemanagement.co.uk, they can rest assured that are pro-actively taking care of waste they produce.
Petroleum products are not the only type of waste we must be careful with today—we are still discovering hazardous asbestos products that were used in generations past, before anyone knew the harm they posed. If you own an older property that likely has asbestos in it, you are well-advised to have an asbestos survey conducted (RJSWasteManagement) in order to identify its extent and to develop a plan to safely eliminate it. You have a Duty to Manage when the presence of such materials is found on your property. Not only is simply having a survey www.rjswastemanagement.co.uk/asbestos-survey-types.php done the easiest way to assess the problem, but it's also the least dangerous to yourself and to any other people who might have exposure.
By employing a waste management company for your home and/or work space, you not only have the satisfaction of knowing that you've taken the most responsible action possible towards the earth, but you've also set a good example for others to follow. You have essentially delegated the complicated work of trying to determine how best to remove asbestos, recycle different products, and such by hiring someone who is an expert in the field to do this difficult sorting for you. If you hire an established company with a stellar reputation such as RJS waste management uk, you'll be able to sleep easy at night, knowing you've done your part to preserve the earth for future generations.

Once-a-day ZeritFeb 11, 2001 I have heard that a once-a-day formulation of Zerit (Zerit-ER) will soon be available. Do you know if this drug will have any specific advantages over the twice-a-day version (which I currently use) other than being dosed once-a-day? Is it a unique formulation with special dosing requirements (evening dosing or administration with food) or the same capsule only taken once a day? Any insight you can provide would be highly appreciated. |
Response from Dr. PaviaThe once-a-day formulation, as I understand it, will be taken either in the morning or the evening. The main advantage is that it will allow an all once-a-day regimen if used with another once-a-day nuke (ddI or possibly 3TC) and a once-a-day PI or non-nuke (Sustiva, Nevirapine, or the new BMS protease inhibitor). Up until now, many combinations with two drugs that can be taken only once a day have been possible, but the third drug has had to be twice a day, sort of defeating the purpose. ATP | ||||||||||

| Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB video card review Starting out with the basics, AMD's RV770 core uses the now-established 55 nanometre manufacturing process, packing in 956 million transistors to bring us this DirectX 10.1 and PCI Express 2.0 supporting part, and again featuring tessellation hardware which won't see support in an official API until the release of DirectX 11. RV770 certainly packs plenty into that transistor count, sporting a massive 800 Stream Processors to handle and process vertex, pixel and geometry shader data. These Stream Processors are arranged as arrays of sixteen units (or SIMD cores), of which there are ten. Each of these SIMD cores has a dedicated texturing unit (again making for ten in total), housing four texturing addressing processors, sixteen 32-bit floating point texture samplers and four 32-bit floating point texturing filtering units. http://www.elitebastards.com/cms/ind...87&Item id=27

I've been in Austin for a little over 2years and I live off S. Lamar. I'm a 2.0-2.5 player. I'm more concerned with improving my game than winning. There are at least 4 courts within walking/biking distance to me. I'm hoping to find a couple of tennis players in my area for consistent games. I have a very flexible schedule but I realize evening is best for most of us. Thanks -Christina

this wiki
Bahamut (バハムート, Bahamūto) is Guardian of the Spring in the Sky. He takes the form of an enormous fish-like creature and must be battled on the small boat in the boss room. Strangely, you must defeat this Guardian before ever entering its backside field, the Tower of the Goddess.
- Location: Spring in the Sky (C-2)
- Background music: "Dangerous Raid"
- Unlocks:
- The number 4 door from Tower of Ruin (D-6) to Inferno Cavern (D-5) for access to Viy
- Shortcut from Spring in the Sky (C-2) to Surface (L-1)
- Access to Sacred Orb in Surface (L-3)
Finding BahamutEdit
Revealing the AnkhEdit
After using the Origin Seal to open the floodgates in (C-2), place a weight on the dais in (C-9). Then go out to (D-2) and into the small pool of water that has appeared. Strike the protruding gears until they move to make the Ankh appear back in (C-2).
Finding the Ankh JewelEdit
The Ankh Jewel is in the chest in Spring in the Sky (C-8). Attack Mr. Gyonin Himself until he flees and knocks the chest open.
Fighting BahamutEdit
Bahamut has 42 health.
- Bahamut leaps out of the water toward you.
- Bahamut jumps vertically on either side of the screen and fires multiple large projectiles. They aren't aimed, so standing under him is relatively safe. (Pictured)
- Only at or below 23 health: Bahamut pokes his head out of the water and shoots fireballs into the water for about 10 seconds. The fireballs float downstream and can be jumped over. Watching his mouth is the easiest way to dodge.
Weak PointEdit
Entire head.
Both of Bahamut's leaping attacks create waves which will knock you up in the air if you are right next to him. This can be abused on his projectile attack, since it knocks you up to the perfect level to hit his face -- a difficult feat to accomplish on your own. The Axe is ideal because of its wide swing, but the Chain Whip is also useful, especially if you can hit him twice per jump. If during his projectile attack, you can time a jump near the end of it, you can land a third hit as he starts falling back into the water which will speed up the fight significantly. After hitting him, stay under his projectiles, but be careful not to stand direcly under him as he can hit you when he dives back in. Caltrops are also good against him, because you can use them while he's jumping towards you.
His leap attack is easily dodged as long as you're in the middle of the screen when he launches it, just move toward his tail.
Dodging the fireballs is quite tricky, doubly so when the tunnel is curving. Try to stay in the middle of the spread and watch his mouth for nearly vertical fireballs, which you'll need to jump over.
If you manage to get the feather before this fight, this fight becomes much more easier to handle.
Another effective method is to use the flare gun during his projectile attack, especially if it does Bahamut is far enough away that he does not launch the player when he emerges. You can fire 1-2 flares directly into his head when he surfaces to do his projectile attack. This strategy is especially powerful in conjunction with an Attack Fairy. Helpfully, there is a fairy spawn point between the Grail tablet and the boss room where the player can leave and reenter the room until an Attack Fairy can be summoned.
- 20 hits with Whip (10 with Chain Whip)
- ~8 hits with Axe
- 10 hits with Axe+randc.exe+mekuri.exe on hard mode
- 6 hits with Axe+randc.exe+mekuri.exe
- 15 hits with Chain Whip on hard mode (needs confirmation)

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) _ The two top Republican leaders of the Connecticut General Assembly say Gov. Dannel P. Malloy hasn't cut enough state spending to justify the large-scale, across-the-board tax increases he is proposing.
Senate Minority Leader John McKinney and House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero Jr., who were briefed on the budget proposal by the Democratic governor's staff on Tuesday, told reporters they expected there would be tax increases, but not to the extent Malloy is suggesting. He is proposing raising taxes by $1.5 billion in the first year of the budget to help cover an approximate $3.5 billion deficit.
Cafero says the Republicans were told state government spending, under Malloy's plan, will be slightly higher in the two-year budget compared to current year spending. Cafero says that won't sit well with taxpayers.

NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks blogger Dylan Burke weighs in on the news this week out of Van City regarding much maligned winger David Booth. By using their final compliance buyout on David Booth, the Canucks will save $4.25M against this year's salary cap and little over $1M in actual money. Hardly pocket change, but I can't imagine that breaks the bank – all things being relative, of course.
The Canucks after 20 games part 2! "The Indifferent!"
NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks Blogger Mitch Dyck breaks down the Canucks after the 20 game mark in the 2013/14 season. The indifferent? Zack Kassian has been frustrating to watch all season. Flashes of brilliance coupled with prolonged periods of looking lost and like nothing more than a fourth liner. How much longer is Alex Burrows going to need to shake off the rust? $4.5 million dollars is a lot of money for a good work ethic and solid effort.
David Booth headed to Utica
NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks Blogger Mitch Dyck breaks down why David Booth is headed to the AHL to play for the Utica Comets. The Canucks made Booth a healthy scratch Oct. 22 against the New York Islanders. Canucks coach John Tortorella told the media that he felt like Booth wasn't doing enough to play. In his absence, we've seen Darren Archibald, Andrew Alberts, Yanick Weber and Jeremy Welsh play; even Pascal Pelletier managed to get a game in with the Canucks.
David Booth a healthy scratch. Insert…Andrew Alberts?
NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks blogger Mitch Dyck is back today to tell us just what the Nucks are doing with their frustrating to watch winger — the hunter David Booth. It's a good thing hockey isn't his passion, or else David Booth might be upset that he had to sit in the press box in Uniondale two nights ago. Mitch points out It might not be easy to move Booth without retaining some of his contract; even if the Canucks do retain a portion of it, there is no guarantee they can move him.
Vancouver Canucks secure Tanev and Alberts today
NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks blogger Alex McPhee is back again, this time with a piece about the two Nucks signings today. Andrew Alberts and Chris Tanev. This deal tells Alex a couple things: neither side wanted to or could figure out a long term deal in terms of fair price at this point in time, so they went with a one year reasonable $1.5m so neither would be locked in to a multi-year deal they didn't like.
2013-2014 Vancouver Canucks' schedule: highlights and breakdown
NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks blogger Kevin "The Flying V' Vanstone tells us to mark your calendars, the Vancouver Canucks will open their 2013-14 regular season on Thursday, October 3rd against the San Jose Sharks. The Canucks play six pre-season games this year against the Sharks (home and away), Oilers (home and away), Coyotes (home), and Rangers (home). Bonjour, Monsieur Vigneault.
NWSB email to former Canucks bench boss Alain Vigneault
NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks blogger Richard Hodges today brings us an open email to former Nucks head coach Alain Vigneault. He points out AV is the winningest coach in Canucks history, bringing home the division banners, Presidents' Trophies, and of course 2011. He says AV set the bar high and the only way to clear it is with a Stanley Cup. He was fun to watch, not fun to watch and he'll be missed. Happy Trails AV.
Remembering Alain Vigneault's time with the Vancouver Canucks
NWSB Vancouver Canucks insider Josh Hall looks back on Wednesday's Mike Gillis press conference and tells some tales of now fired Alain Vigneault. Josh points out the stars and planets may never align quite like that again for the Vancouver Canucks or Alain Vigneault but looking back on that moment 50 years from now and everyone will remember where they were vs. Chicago in the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Thanks to AV and Alex Burrows.
Canucks fire Alain Vigneault after second unsuccessful post-season
NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks blogger Kevin "The Flying V" Vanstone weighs in today on the Nucks news of firing head coach Alain Vigneault and assistant coaches Rick Bowness and Newell Brown on Wednesday afternoon just 15 days after the Canucks were swept by the San Jose Sharks, marking the end of an era for Vancouver Canucks hockey. It could be a long summer for Canucks fans.
Canucks personnel most likely to find new employers in 2013
NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks blogger Kevin "The Flying V" Vanstone weighs in today on the Nucks and says it has been a full thirteen days since VanCity were swept by the San Jose Sharks in the first round of this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs, and after an appropriate mourning period it is time to look towards next season and the changes needed. Roberto Luongo has been on his way out of Vancouver for some time. He's surely gone. Alain Vigneault. Gone too.
Welcome back to Vancouver Pavel Bure…we've missed you! #Retire10
NWSB Insider and Managing Editor "Q" weighs in with yet another post on Pavel Bure. The iconic Canucks legend who deserves to have his jersey retired by the Nucks organization. Bure played for 12 seasons in the NHL with the Canucks, Florida Panthers and New York Rangers. He played his first game for the us on November 5, 1991. Owner Francesco Aquilini brought Bure back to Vancouver this week. Vancouver let him know they appreciated him still.

Tom says he is influenced by classic 50s and 60s style, with a bit of Ivy league thrown in for good measure.

About Jennifer P.
Special needs
I am a professional singer-songwriter and have been teaching lessons fulltime for the last 12 years. I teach students of all ages and levels of experience. My current range of students include: kids with learning/developmental disabilities, teenagers who have starred in school musicals, and performing adult singer-songwriters. Whatever your background or desire, I can help you to cultivate your unique musical potential, and to strengthen your creative voice.
As a professional vocalist and pianist, I have worked freelance, in a variety of settings, over the years--including solo, in wedding bands, small jazz and rock/pop groups and with big bands. I have been singing with the Mood Swings Big Band for 6+ years. During that time, we have performed at the White House, the Chamber of Commerce and in Kennebunkport, Maine (at the Bush estate).
I also have an extensive professional and personal background in meditation (10 years), astrology (5 years) and healing (particularly Reiki, 4 years). I am very interested in the intersection between a healing/mindfulness-awareness approach and singing/playing piano.
Photos and Videos
Apr 2008 - PresentI sing a wide range of music with the band, including standards, ballads, pop/rock, R & B and Motown. We perform at weddings, corporate events, vineyards and occasionally public/political events. We have played at the White House, Chamber of Commerce and in Kennebunkport, Maine (at the Bush/Walker residence).
music teacher
Oct 2003 - PresentAlthough initially hired as a voice teacher, I have taught in a wide range of contexts over the years, including: private voice, private piano, early childhood music/movement, keyboard classes, voice classes and music camps. I have also helped to design/publish many (perhaps a thousand!) pages of music curriculum/theory work for beginner to intermediate/advanced students (given as music class "homework").
keyboard player, vocalist, arranger
Aug 2009 - Oct 2014I played and sang with this folk/rock band for 5 years. During this time, we recorded 3 albums and 2 EPs, and played in Baltimore, Washington D.C. and New York. We opened for national, touring acts such as Seth Glier and The Kennedys.

True, social networking doesn't exactly lend itself to design inspiration. But that didn't let DeviantArt user Neko-Vi from drafting up a series of gowns dedicated to the leading names in social networking, file sharing, and internet search. As brought to our attention by Buzzfeed, these sketches leave a bit to be desired in the style department (they're a bit more Disney princess than runway ready) and probably violate all kinds of trademark laws. Nonetheless, each piece gave us a hearty laugh and a little bit of relief from a stressful day. Dive into the slideshow to peep the entire collection.

On July 28th, SBS's popular drama 'City Hunter' finally came to a close. The ending attracted much attention with controversial comments from its viewers. 'Lee Jin Pyo' (Kim Sang Joong) was hit by a volley of bullets and consequently died from his injuries. He was the foster father of the main character, 'Lee Yoon Sung' (Lee Min Ho). In the final scene, Yoon Sung and 'Na Na' (played by Park Min Young) were reunited in a happy ending, but some viewers were left to believe that Yoon Sung was actually a ghostly figure. However, the producer, Kim Yong Sup, stated to TVDaily on July 29th, "Yoon Sung is not dead". Kim Yong Sup elaborated, "Lee Yoon Sung (Lee Min Ho) sustained a bullet shot in the last episode, but after much time passes, he eventually meets Kim Na Na. He doesn't appear as a ghost as it was actually just a time jump that we had set up. Of course, I respect the arbitrary interpretation of the viewers. However, just the fact that Yoon Sung didn't die is strictly speaking, the definition of a happy ending. The director and writer put in the scene with this as their mindset." However, the last episodes of 'City Hunter' still resulted in the deaths of prosecutor 'Kim Young Joo' (played by Lee Jun Hyuk) and Jin Pyo. Yoon Sung was injured by Jin Pyo's bullet but recovered as time went by. Source: TVDaily via Nate
