"Signature strikes"—attacks based on patterns of activity—were first authorized by President George W. Bush in 2008 for CIA drone strikes against suspected militants in Pakistan. As reported by David Sanger in his book The Inheritance: The World Obama Confronts and the Challenges to American Power, the threshold for who could be killed was lowered in 2008 from "high-value targets" (HVTs) or "personality strikes," to what was termed the "reasonable man" standard. Subsequent reporting by Jo Becker and Scott Shane in the New York Times revealed that the Obama administration continued the policy whereby a signature strike "in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants." The Obama administration has also expanded this practice for targeted killings in Yemen in 2012.
The Obama administration has repeatedly refused to acknowledge that it conducts signature strikes, or to explain how the killing of anonymous military-aged males based on their observable behavior meets the principle of distinction in the law of armed conflict (the idea of distinction is to only engage valid military targets). Before President Obama's recent counterterrorism speech, it was reported that the United States was going to either scale back or end signature strikes. However, the president never discussed implementing these options, and when his senior aides were asked about them in a background briefing prior to the speech, they too were unresponsive.
Subsequently, there is no evidence that signature strikes will be reduced or ended based upon anything the Obama administration has recently stated.

Combine fall flavors--squash, nuts, apples--then bake with sweet maple to bring out wonderful flavor.
*To toast pecans, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until pecans begin to brown, then stirring constantly until light brown.
When selecting butternut squash, look for those that have hard, tough rinds and are heavy for their size. Peeling the squash will be easier if you first microwave it on High for 3 minutes.
Substitute apple pie spice for the cinnamon and nutmeg.

If such a clue had appeared as a FJ, contestants responding "What's Grayhound?" would not be penalized for spelling. Similarly, if one were taking the category's heading of '"ray" literally, one might imagine that the name of the bus company actually met that criterion, so pointing out that the bus line is actually spelled Greyhound is irrelevant. The fact remains that the category, and the writers who conceived it, are lacking in sense, to put it politely.
Sage, I am not one to shy away from criticizing the recent writing, but here it was pretty clear - five questions about guys named Ray. Three answers asked for the guys, two were about the work of two guys named Ray. That's a nice, varied category, one I liked actually.

Yahoo rolls out redesigned homepage
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Design, Internet
Yahoo is rolling out its redesigned homepage today, as promised by CEO Marissa Mayer in a blog post last Wednesday. In it, Mayer wrote that the newly designed landing page will be more "intuitive and personal." The redesign was tested in January, and now will start rolling out to everyone "over the next few days." The new page is more streamlined than ever, giving more prominence to Yahoo's most notable services: email, news, finance and sports. What's more, Yahoo now has a stream in the vein of Twitter. The stream has an infinite stream of news, as well as social features such as the ability to see content recommended by Facebook friends.

Slacker Radio sees massive redesign, aims for Pandora, Spotify
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Design, Internet, Music, Software
Slacker has been around for a few years as both a free and premium Internet radio service, and now the service has released a new redesign. The old black and gold interface is replaced with a newer, hipper, cleaner look on all platforms, including web, Xbox 360 app, and mobile apps. Slacker had to do something to take some attention away from Rdio, Spotify, Pandora, and the like, and we have to say that the new design makes things easier on the eyes, and thusly, easier to use.
Slacker pricing remains intact. You have the free version, Radio Plus for $3.99 per month, and then Slacker Premium for $9.99 per month. Updated Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry 10 versions are on the way as well.
RIAA Google takedown requests near 10 million
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Google, Internet, Music
Thanks to Google's Transparency Report, we can see just how many copyright takedown requests it gets, and who issues such requests. The RIAA tops the list with nearly 10 million takedown requests issued. The RIAA issues hundreds of thousands of notices every week in regards to piracy sites, and has topped the most recent monthly requests. This goes to show just how severe the piracy network is, or even perhaps, how futile the RIAA's attempts are at squashing it.

Transporter collaborative data sharing storage device now shipping
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Corporate News, Internet, Storage
The Transporter is a private data sharing and storage device from the folks at Connected Data, a team comprised of many of the same folks who worked on the Drobo. It's able to communicate with every other Transporter device, anywhere in the world, elimination the need for a third-party cloud storage solution for any files stored. Even more impressive? The Transporter is a Kickstarter project that is actually shipping on time - just 20 days after the end of its massively successful campaign. Compare that to other Kickstarter hardware projects, and you'll see just how impressive this is. You can pick up a Transporter with no drive for $199, a model with a 1 TB drive for $299, or a 2 TB version for $399. Hit the break for a video explaining how it all works.

Amazon MP3 Store now optimized for iPhone & iPod touch
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Internet, Music
Amazon has just launched a version of its MP3 catalog that is made ready to use for the iPhone or iPod Touch mobile Safari with use of the open standards of HTML5. This is a way for Amazon to avoid the App Store cut of 30% with selling music to iOS users. Customers can view purchases and stream the music via the Amazon Cloud Player app avaible in the App Store.
For the first time ever, iPhone and iPod touch users can discover and buy digital music from Amazon's 22-million song catalog using the Safari browser. Customers also have access to favorite Amazon features like personalized recommendations, best-seller lists and Amazon customer ratings. Music purchases are automatically saved to customers' Cloud Player libraries and can be downloaded or played instantly from any iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Kindle Fire, Android phone or tablet, Roku, Sonos home entertainment system, any web browser, giving customers the freedom to enjoy more music, from more devices than any other major cloud music service."
Since the launch of the Amazon Cloud Player app for iPhone and iPod touch, a top request from customers has been the ability to buy music from Amazon right from their devices. For the first time ever, iOS users have a way do that – now they can access Amazon's huge catalog of music, features like personalized recommendations, deals like albums for $5, songs for $0.69, and they can buy their music once and use it everywhere. - Amazon

Google plans fix for Google Maps in Internet Explorer on Windows Phone
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Cell Phones, Google, Internet, Microsoft, Software
Maps for Windows Phone users is about to get a little better. According to Google, it is planning on fixing the issue preventing Windows Phone users from reaching the Google Maps website through Internet Explorer. The search giant had this to say:
"We periodically test Google Maps compatibility with mobile browsers to make sure we deliver the best experience for those users. In our last test, IE mobile still did not offer a good maps experience with no ability to pan or zoom and perform basic map functionality. As a result, we chose to continue to redirect IE mobile users to Google.com where they could at least make local searches. The Firefox mobile browser did offer a somewhat better user experience and that's why there is no redirect for those users. Recent improvements to IE mobile and Google Maps now deliver a better experience and we are currently working to remove the redirect. We will continue to test Google Maps compatibility with other mobile browsers to ensure the best possible experience for users."
Google had previously stated that the outage was because its mobile Maps site wasn't designed with IE in mind.

Twitter rolling out Archive feature, allows you to download your tweet history
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Internet
If you thought you could just bury the past under an onslaught of new tweets, then you're about as wrong as Commissioner Gordon and Batman at the end of The Dark Knight.
The truth always comes out eventually, and this time it's coming out one tweet at a time in the form of your very personalized Twitter archive that, you guessed it, contains every tweet you ever posted. Each personalized archive is done up in HTML and divided by month, so you can remember the great (and not so great) times of your social media life a month at a time.
Twitter CEO Dick Costolo promised this feature earlier, but it appears to be rolling out for select users right now, and you may very well be one of them. To check, go to your Twitter account and see if you find "Your Twitter Archive" under the settings page.

Pearson Aspires to be the Electronic Arts of Education
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Video Games
When you think of education, Electronic Arts probably isn't the first company to come to mind. But for the publisher Pearson, EA is exactly the kind of role model it's looking for in remodeling Pearson for a digitized age.
Speaking to GigaOm, chief product officer Luyen Chou revealed his intent for his company to become an "Electronic Arts for education." Chou enumerated, detailing the struggle to keep up with the times, and getting "high-quality, interactive digital learning experiences" into classrooms.
"Digital studios, animators, illustrators, producers, 3D artists – we need to build that capacity within instructional companies like Pearson and we need the whole end-to-end supply chain to the take that from the studio to the actual users," Chou said. "The folks that have done that well are the EAs of the world, digital studios. That's not a core competency for companies like Pearson."
Pearson's lately been busy acquiring a massive amount in the way of pushing toward an interactive education company, spending $1.6 billion on acquisitions alone.

Especially if you are somebody who uses a 5 inch or bigger mobile device or a tablet, the stylus does wonders as it lets you write, draw, or tap with accuracy as opposed to using your stubby fingers.

Facebook follies
I'm still chuckling to myself thinking about how true the "Not-So-Pretty Facebook" article (News and Features, July 18) rang. Seriously, why are we friending people on this medium that we barely knew in high school, or maybe didn't even like? And why the need to broadcast every last feeling, thought, meal ate, song heard, and heartbreak to our current status?
It's absurd, and yet when I log onto Facebook in the morning before I start my day, it feels like walking into a big party where I know everyone there. It's also a fun distraction, but there is a balance to be achieved, of course, between "tastemaking" and oversharing.
Put in its proper place (I'm not including the time I couldn't sleep and was up at 4 am adding flair to my profile), at this point, I'd rather live with Facebook than without! Thanks for all the truisms and the Friday laugh.
Rachel Lombardo
It seems Sharon Steel's issues are not with Facebook, but with her own high school–esque insecurities. While everyone would agree that Facebook is a gossip fest, it seems she dedicates entirely too much time and thought to her social-networking-site presence.
I've never stressed over what people would think of me based on my profiles, even when my psycho older sister and my former boss added me as a friend. My privacy levels are set so that potential employers can't search for me on either site, but I still posted the pictures of me in a pink cowboy hat at the recent Gay Pride parade! These sites are for fun and keeping in touch with faraway friends, a point the author seems to have forgotten. I read the article a few times looking for a hint of sarcasm but didn't find any; I'm hoping Ms. Steel exaggerated her Facebook woes to make a better story.
There are more legitimate concerns about Facebook, a great example being their creepy online tracking system that posted what you purchased from certain Web sites. I was none too happy to be a member of a site that employed a 1984 Big Brother marketing feature. It was highly protested and I believe it has been removed, but who knows what they'll come up with next?Theresa Condito
I read your Facebook article with interest, but it seemed overblown to me. Folks like Emily Gould and Julia Allison would be overwrought oversharers with or without the Internet. And people who lament over Internet insecurities probably are insecure in other aspects of life, too.
I always find it funny when people paint high school as some universally accepted horror show. I'm more confident now than I was 13 years ago in high school, but that has more to do with age than environment.
As for the Internet, most people I know use social-networking sites for e-mail, Scrabble games, and party invites. Those who agonize over friend numbers seem to be a rather small, disturbed minority.
Could you Facebook friend me, though? I'm really trying to hit the 100 mark.Toni Fellela

Serves 6
I've eaten Irish stew in private homes and public eating places all over Ireland, north and south, probably twenty-five or thirty examples in all, and no two have been alike. Along the way, I've come to believe that the construction of this dish should adhere to a few simple guidelines: 1. Use the best quality lamb you can find, but use the less expensive, more flavorful cuts. 2. Keep it simple: the world won't end if you add carrots or fresh thyme, but don't throw too many different things in the pot. 3. Cook it very slowly; an old adage has it that "a stew boiled is a stew spoiled." 4. Always make the stew the day before you serve it; a night in the refrigerator really will improve it. 5. The finished product should be thick enough that you can stand a spoon in it.
Preheat the oven to 250°F.
Put the lamb, potatoes, parsley, and onions into a heavy casserole with a lid and season with salt and pepper. (Or layer the ingredients, starting and ending with a layer of potatoes, and seasoning each layer to taste).
Add 2 cups of water or enough to barely cover the ingredients. Bring to a simmer over low heat (do not boil), then cover and put into the oven. Cook for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until the meat is very tender and the stew is thick, adding a little water if the stew dries out too much.

I have roughly 6 years of experience in programming 2D games, in Adobe Flash ActionScript 3.0 (OOP).
I've now decided to move on and become a C++ Gameplay Programmer in 3D games.
I'm looking to develop my Gameplay Programming skills in an engine that will open doors in the future.
I'm trying to avoid engines that use their own special scripting language (e.g. Unreal Engine 3 - UnrealScript), and focus on ones that allow me to program in C++.
Would you recommend using CryEngine 3? or possibly even waiting for Unreal Engine 4?
Keeping in mind that I most likely won't be able to get a license for whatever I make on the first run.
If not, should I go for smaller engines that allow free commercial use? If so, which?
My goal is to eventually work in one of the big game companies (CDProjektRed, Blizzard, Ubisoft...).

By Lena Mitchell/NEMS Daily Journal
CORINTH – Monday's opening day for Smith. restaurant in downtown Corinth was the culmination of almost a year of preparation and anticipation.
Russell and Julia Smith were quite busy but not overwhelmed as they served from a menu unlike anything else available in town – catfish and collards with étoufée, shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles.
Quite a different menu from Russell's Beef House, the family restaurant where Smith has used his culinary skills the past seven years, the restaurant founded by his grandfather, Troy Russell.
Smith will continue working at the steak house along with his mother, Maury Sills, while he and his wife will work together at the downtown restaurant.
"The whole time at the steak house I've been looking for another project," Smith said. "I wanted to bring something back to Corinth from other places I worked."
While growing up Smith worked at the family business, which led him to say he never wanted to work in a restaurant again. He went to Northeast Mississippi Community College and on to Mississippi State University, where, in his own words, he spent more time partying than in class.
He wound up working at Harvey's restaurant in Tupelo, where he discovered a love for cooking.
"Then I worked in the Starkville restaurant for four years," he said. "When I really decided I wasn't going back to school, my dad helped me get a job with John Currence at City Grocery in Oxford. I was there five years, working my way up to sous chef. Then I came back to Corinth in 2006."
Maybe for him the restaurant business was inevitable. Russell Smith's father is Paul Smith, who also owned a popular downtown Corinth restaurant, Cross City Grill, which closed several years ago.
"For months, I looked at every piece of property in this town before I found this one," Smith said of the historical property on Fillmore Street that houses the restaurant. For many years it was home to Rankin Printery.
During the remodeling of the building, Smith created a downstairs dining room for about 100 guests, with a bar, another dining room and a room for private parties upstairs. He also added a balcony on the second floor.
Smith gives the credit for a great menu to his cousin, Joel Smith, a chef who worked for years in Franklin, Tenn. at restaurants that include 55 South, Cork & Cow and Red Pony.
"He's done a great job with the menu, and we'll also have some seasonal items and specials," Smith said. "We're working out the kinks and will be adding more things like a Saturday brunch as time goes on."
• What: Fine dining restaurant; bar and grill
• Where: 603 N. Fillmore St., Corinth
• When: Open for lunch and dinner Monday-Saturday; 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; 5-11 p.m.
• Serves: Appetizers, $6-10; salads, $5-8; sandwiches, $7-10; entrees, $12-25
• For more information: (662) 594-1925;

Ricky Ponting, weary and losing his batting gifts, packed it in last month at 37.
Rahul Dravid pulled out having turned 39 last January. Sachin Tendulkar ploughs on at 39, but now only in tests, and for how much longer?
Seasoned Australian Mike Hussey, still a strong, assertive performer, pulls stumps at the end of the Sydney test which started yesterday, at 37.
So, Jacques Kallis, how about it? You're 37, the fourth-highest run-maker of all time, and with close to 300 wickets the greatest allround cricketer, certainly in productivity, there has been.
He went past 13,000 test runs at Newlands on Wednesday and only Tendulkar, Ponting and Dravid, all specialist batsmen, have got there before.
What about the R word? Don't expect the burly man from Cape Town to leave the stage any time soon.
"I certainly haven't thought anywhere near retirement," he said, after helping take New Zealand's lame bowling attack apart before an adoring home crowd.
"I'm probably batting as well as I ever have in my career and hopefully I can carry on with that form for a little while longer."
So that's put to bed, then.
Kallis' 60 against New Zealand didn't suggest any diminishing of the powers, although he did have the odd uncharacteristic close call.
How about motivation? What drives Kallis on at a time when contemporaries are recognising the march of time and getting out - or in Tendulkar's case preparing the groundwork for the greatest farewell the game has seen next to Don Bradman?
Simple. The love of the game remains intact, plus a long memory. Kallis scored only 57 runs in his first seven test innings. It didn't come easily at first.
"It's a privilege to play in this team. I don't take anything for granted and make sure I put the hard work in behind the scenes.
"A lot of people say it's a pity about the start you had to your career. I look at it a different way.
"It probably made my career because when I do go through these good patches I try and keep them going, because I can remember back to when I started and things were tough. That keeps me going now.
"Most of all I'm still really enjoying my cricket."
Kallis appreciated going past 13,000 on his home ground, his favourite cricket turf. He received a rapturous reception which he appreciated. "A very special moment that'll live with me forever," he said.
His is not a headline-seeking personality. Kallis is happy to be a lower key, high achiever.
"I've probably got a little more recognition now, but it's something I've never really played the game for.
"The way I've played the game is to slip under the radar and carry on doing what I enjoy doing."
Which brings us to the S question.
Sobers or Kallis? The legendary West Indian Garry Sobers will always remain the world's most gifted allrounder for many. He, incidentally, ended his 20-year test career at 37 in 1974.
Compare the numbers. Sobers scored 8032 runs at 57.78 in 93 tests; Kallis has 13,040 at 56.94 halfway through his 159th.
Sobers took 235 wickets at 34.03 with his mix of left-arm swing and spin. Kallis has 282 wickets at 32.57 with his lively fast-medium pace.
One was a mercurial figure, capable of genius performances, but also prone to distraction and lapses; the other very much a feet-firmly-planted type, who is showing no signs of a waning of his powers.
The one concession Kallis is making to age is careful management of his remaining time.
He will miss some limited-overs fixtures to prolong his test career, but the World Cup in 2015 is a target.
The decision on knowing when to go is one so many stellar sportsmen and women struggle with.
Kallis reckons he's got it sorted.
"When I feel I'm not contributing to the team in the way I should be, or holding some youngster up, I'll definitely start thinking about it. But it's the furthest thing from my mind at the moment."
But time catches up with us all. It will Kallis, too, eventually. And he'll be sorely missed.
Greatness, after all, is not the easiest quality to replace.

Sestamibi stress test; MIBI stress test; Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy; Dobutamine stress test; Persantine stress test; Thallium stress test; Stress test - nuclear; Adenosine stress test; Regadenoson stress test
Thallium stress test is a nuclear imaging method that shows how well blood flows into the heart muscle, both at rest and during activity.
This test is done at a medical center or physician's office. It is done in parts, or stages:
You will have an IV (intravenous line) started.
Most people will then walk on a treadmill (or pedal on an exercise machine).
Your blood pressure and heart rhythm (ECG) will be watched (monitored) the whole time.
When your heart is working as hard as it can, a radiopharmaceutical is again injected into one of your veins.
Using a computer, your doctor can compare the first and second set of images. This can help your doctor tell if you have heart disease or if your heart disease is becoming worse.
You should wear comfortable clothes and shoes with nonskid soles. You will probably be asked not to eat or drink anything after midnight, except for a few sips of water if you need to take medicines.
You will need to avoid caffeine for 24 hours before the test. This includes:
Your doctor will tell you if you need to stop taking any medicines before the test. Medications used to treat asthma and angina may interfere with test results. Never stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have taken a dose of the following medications within the last 24 hours:
During the treadmill test, some people feel:
If you are given the vasodilator drug, you may feel a sting as the medication is injected, followed by a feeling of warmth. Some patients also have a headache, nausea, and a feeling that their heart is racing.
If you are given medication to make your heart beat stronger and faster (dobutamine), you may have a headache, nausea, or your heart may pound more strongly.
Rarely, during the test people experience:
If any of these symptoms occur during your test, let the lab personnel know immediately.
The test is done to see whether your heart muscle is getting enough blood flow, and therefore enough oxygen, when it is working hard (under stress).
Your doctor may order this test to determine:
The results of a nuclear stress test can help your doctor:
A normal result means blood flow through the coronary arteries is probably normal.
The meaning of your test results depends on the reason for the test, your age, and your history of heart and other medical problems.
Abnormal results may be due to:
After the test you may need:
Complications are rare but may include:
Your health care provider will explain the risks before the test.
Non-heart structures, such as the diaphragm and breast tissue, can sometimes cause false positive test results when older methods are used to show how well blood flows into your heart muscle. Special techniques can prevent this problem and reduce the need for further testing.
Further tests may include a cardiac catheterization.

Here's what I'm thinking: Yes, Damon is smart and will eventually figure out that "Stefan" is not STEFAN! But I think it will take him a little longer because he may think that "Stefan" is just acting out because he is upset that Elena choose Damon and not him. I don't think that Damon will know right away that Silas is Stefan's doppleganger. But hopefully Stefan doesn't die when his trapped!!

Steamboat Springs On Thursday morning, students at Hayden Valley Elementary School were asked what coal gives them during an informal assembly inside the school's gym.
One student answered electricity that goes into the power lines, another added that it provides light for her home at night, and one boy said coal provided the energy to charge his remote-controlled cars.
All great answers, but on this day, Peabody Energy was there to provide something that the students didn't expect.
Maureen Moore, program director for Peabody Energy's Leaders in Education, flew into Hayden from Missouri to recognize kindergarten teacher Laura Voorhees and present the popular teacher with a $1,000 award for her efforts.
Scott Harrell, a representative for Twentymile Mine, joined Moore along with Sarah Leonard, the director of special events for the Steamboat Chamber Resort Association.
Voorhees has worked at the school for past six years. Moore said Voorhees puts her students' needs first and finds unique ways to collaborate, share ideas and implement new strategies so her students have a successful learning experience. Voorhees has incorporated technology in her lessons and was chosen to participate in Microsoft's U.S. Innovative Education Forum, where she collaborated with teachers from across the national about the role technology plays in early-childhood education. Voorhees also encourages parents to get involved in the classroom through her website, where she posts pictures and videos from classroom activities.
"She is an inspiration," Moore said. "She won this award based on her dedication to set children in this community on the right path."
Peabody presents the award in communities where its employees live. The company plans to honor 10 to 12 more educators this year in Routt, Moffat and Eagle counties, where Peabody has mining operations or cooperate offices.
Moore said the award is a way to recognize not only teachers, but also educators who are making a difference in children's lives. She said the award is open to anyone in education from custodians to principals.
Peers or community members nominate the award winners, and a panel of judges — which includes executives from Peabody, educational representatives and community members — make the final choices on winners.
"I'm very surprised. I had no idea what was going on," Voorhees said after being presented with the award Thursday. "It means a lot, and it's nice to be recognized. It's nice to know that what you are doing in the classroom is paying off."

With plenty of room in the stands—the capacity is 3,000—Reitz Arena comes alive when the Hounds take the court for basketball and volleyball games. Opened in 1984, the arena was named for Emil G. "Lefty" Reitz, who was a longtime athletic director and coach of the basketball and baseball teams. Reitz also serves as an auditorium, concert venue, and liturgical space, hosting a variety of events from bands and alumni gatherings to New Student Convocation and Baccalaureate Mass.
The Ridley Athletic Complex, which celebrated its grand opening in 2010, is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of I-83 and Cold Spring Lane, a quick drive—or shuttle ride—from the Evergreen campus. The Complex features a 6,500-seat grandstand, a Sportexe Momentum synthetic turf field for lacrosse and soccer games, two practice fields, an NCAA regulation 400-meter track, multimedia team meeting rooms, a weight-training suite, a first aid suite, coaching staff offices, a press box, presidential and VIP spectator boxes, locker rooms, and food, beverage, and merchandise booths.
The Fitness & Aquatic Center's 115,000 square feet of recreational space includes a two-court gymnasium, an indoor rock climbing wall, an elevated walking/jogging track, studios for exercise classes, an outdoor adventure center, racquetball and squash courts, a flexibility and core strength area, and a multi-activity court for indoor soccer, volleyball, and inline sports. The building also houses a 6,000-square-foot fitness center with treadmills, bikes, elliptical trainers, stair climbers, free weights, a selectorized weight circuit, and a stretching area.
With an eight-lane, 25-yard swim course, a diving well, on-deck sauna, hot tub, and a 500-seat spectator area, the Mangione Aquatic Center serves as home to Loyola's swimming and diving team. Among those who have swum in the pool are Olympian Michael Phelps and NBA star Shaquille O'Neal.
Loyola's track team shares the track and field facility, which opened in spring 2009, with Johns Hopkins University. The facility is located about a mile from the Evergreen campus on Johns Hopkins University's Eastern High School property.
Diane Geppi-Aikens Field is home to recreational and intramural sports. The field, which has seats for 3,000 spectators, is named for a Loyola women's lacrosse coach who died in 2003.

Its ON bitches!!!! This race is now wide open. Obama was straight up DESTROYED by Romney in this debate on basically each and every topic presented. Some great lines as Romney straight up bitch slapped Obama on several occasions. When Obama was talking about some completely nonsensical BS about businesses and taxes overseas and Romney hit him with....... "Ive been in business 25 years and I dont know what youre talking about." I LOST!!!! HARD!!!!
Poors, get your work boots out. If you can find them that is. I know they have been stored away somewhere for over 3 years now. I know all of you are sweating your balls off now worried that Romney is going to put your asses back to work.
No longer will my working class Mrs. and I have to go shopping, spend almost one fifth of one of our paychecks on groceries for a couple of weeks and watch some lazy bum get the same amount of food for free. These people will be working and contributing to society, paying their share of taxes, instead of freeloading off us middle class folks. Its going to be great. In fact, I may not even have to set foot in WalMart myself anyway once Romney gets in. He should give me enough of a break that I can shop exclusively at Kroger.
Lets ****ing GO!!!!!!!!!
How bout Obama's face all night. Head down with that smirk as he took shot after shot on the ****ing chin. Great TV. That was better than watching the phins run it down the Faiders throats all day. Obama is the Faiders of the white house come to think of it. Worst president Ive ever seen and thats saying A LOT considering we had to look at W. for 8 years.
Someone needs to remind Obama that Romney is not Bush. Thats Obama's only defense before his pathetic performance. Blame everything on Bush and compare Romney to Bush. Its a joke. Obama also really needs to quit with comparing himself to Clinton. You sir are no Bill Clinton. Not even close.
Meantime Romney has been a beast in the business world for years and then turned Mass. around as Governor of that state. He is the man we need running things right now. FACT.

Experience Israel through its many faces: versatile populations and various ethnic groups await you as you tour the country from North to South
Start the day in on biblical Mount Carmel, making the acquaintance of Israel's Druze community in the village of Isfiya, and enjoying Druze hospitality.
Then, it's on to Haifa, where you'll have opportunities to encounter two religious groups in addition to Judaism, both coming out of Islam and each moving away from the source. The beautiful Bahai Gardens convey some of the underlying aesthetics and spirituality of the Bahai faith, while a visit to the Ahmadiyya community will shed light on their ideas and history. (The Ahmadiyya community lives in a small neighborhood of Haifa called Kababir on the western slopes of Mount Carmel.)
Travel to Acre, to the Al-Jazzar mosque, one of Israel's most beautiful shrines, to encounter the Sunni Muslim community in Israel. Visit the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, fought over by Crusaders and the Muslims some 900 years ago. Walk through the maze of Crusader halls and enjoy the local bazaar, shops and restaurants owned by Jews, Christians and Muslims.
In the early evening, drive to the Sea of Galilee area.
Overnight: in the Sea of Galilee area.

#1: Roll it Up
Wraps are great for kids because they are highly customizable and are perfect for kids of all ages. Whether it is a whole-wheat or vegetable based tortilla – adding loads of fresh vegetables and a yummy dip makes for a great lunch. Think of it as a salad rolled up into a sandwich – what could be better for you than that? Another option is a Mexican themed wrap, think beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese – a burrito of sorts.Photo © mary_thompson
#2: Healthy Lunchables
Many children like the lunchables type meal – the problem is that store bought prepackaged lunches are packed with artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. Not to mention, the waste associated with the packaging. Instead, pack a yummy assortment of organic whole-wheat crackers, cheeses and spreads, and then pair with a fresh fruit and vegetable and you have a great lunch that any child will devour.Photo © diekatrin
#3: Vegetable and Fruit Muffins
Who doesn't like a muffin? A great way to add extra fruit and vegetable servings to your child's meal is by adding it to your favorite muffin recipe. You can pack almost any type of fruit inside a muffin and many vegetables too – our favorites include yams, carrots, broccoli and mushrooms. And when you can make a couple of muffins into a lunch entree, it's a great thing!eco kids, green kids, vegan baking, vegan cooking, cooking with kids, organic foods, vegan recipes, how to, jennie lyon
#4: Pita Pockets
Pita Pockets are perfect for school lunchboxes, they are compact and can be packed full of all kinds of yummy ingredients. And when I say Pita Pockets, I don't mean the frozen, highly processed versions – I am talking organic whole wheat pitas stuffed with cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and any of your favorite veggies. You can add whatever veggies your child enjoys for a lunch that is sure to please.Photo © stevendepolo
#5: Panini Sandwiches
Panini sandwiches are great because they melt all of the ingredients together in a tidy little sandwich. We like to press avocado and cheese sandwiches or avocado, strawberry and goat cheese sandwiches. At lunchtime, your child can heat it up quickly or eat it cold, either way they are delicious. Lunchtime perfection!Photo © little blue hen
#6: Pick Your Own Cup of Soup
My son is a huge fan of soups, the homemade kind, not the canned variety. To ensure that we have soup ready to go on school mornings, we make large batches of our favorite soups and store them in mason jars in the refrigerator. Each morning, we simply remove a jar of soup from the refrigerator, heat it up and put it in his thermos.Photo © extended,epiphany
#7: Make it a Sampler
If your child gets bored by the same foods, try packing a sampler. I like to pack an assortment of fresh vegetable and fruit sticks, whole-wheat pita triangles, nuts, seeds, and a few dips that can be used together. For example, a homemade taziki is perfect for dipping fresh vegetables and pita triangles, then a sweet yogurt dip that is great for fruit. I like to choose fruits that won't brown over night – my son is a huge fan of citrus!Photo © NathanF
#8: Leftovers!
If I am not feeling creative or just don't have the energy to make a prepared school lunch, I will purposely make extra dinner and send my son leftovers for lunch. To be honest, this is probably one of his favorite options – he loves to open his lunchbox to find a large slice of vegetable lasagna, a manicotti roll or two, a serving of spaghetti or rice and vegetables. Whatever meals your child enjoys for dinner is sure to please at lunchtime too!
What do you prepare ahead of time for your child's school lunchbox?

As temps cool, local program assures "Heat's On"
Furnace checks ensure safe winters for area families
MADISON, Wis. - As the autumn temperatures start to drop, more than 100 volunteers with a program called "Heat's On" are making sure that 60 Madison-area families have working and reliable heat in their homes.
One of those families, elderly homeowners Clayton and Artis Allen, claim that so far they haven't had problems with their old furnace in the home they've lived in for more than six decades.
But they add that their health doesn't always allow them to get into their basement very easily to check their furnace.
Enter a worker like HVAC technician Sam Redalen, who this time of year performs potentially life-saving work.
"They just really appreciate you coming," said Redalen, who serviced the Allen's furnace. "They can't really afford to do this off the clock."
The furnace checks are a part of Dane County's "Heat's On" program; volunteers working in the program have been providing free checks for seniors and low income families for 25 years.
The Madison Fire Department responds to about 100 possible carbon monoxide leaks a year.
Chief Steven Davis says that prevention is the key to keeping families safe.
"The number of people they touch, we can kind of figure that's the number of people we won't necessarily see in the heating season," said Davis of the program. "They'll be safe in their homes."
For Clayton and Artis Allen, the simple one-hour check will put their minds at ease when they turn on their thermostat this season.
It also means their home of 63 years will remain cozy for at least another winter.
"It means that Clayton and I can be home," said Artis. "We don't have to be in assisted living."
Local heating contractors provide the trucks and equipment used by the program, while any replacement parts families may need are donated by Madison-area suppliers.

MS09_002 memory corruption exploit help !@!
i tried to exploit my windows xp sp3 machine with the MS09_002_memory_corruption exploit with BackTrack 4
and when the target tried to open the browser IE6 not IE7 i got this at the Metasploit shell :
Sending Internet Explorer 7 Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability to 192.168.1.2:1074 ...
is that because im using IE6 not IE7 i thought i can use this exploit at both of them !!
and one more thing what exploit was i talking about in this video :
that guy demonstrated way to force the victim to go to his exploit server that he made with metasploit
and i tried ti this since its aweosme way to not send the victim any link or anything to ur server
i tried to do this with ettercap i edited the etter.dns and :
added the A record as the following
and then used the exploit in metasploit
the problem is when i used this exploit and if i didn't configure the options "URIPATH" it takes random path that i have to send to victim
so the new path will be for example http://192.168.1.4/gegwsgf
and the ettercap will redirect the traffic to 192.168.1.4 only without /gegwsgf
and when i tried it the victim spoofed successfuly to my ip 192.168.1.4 but no connection established at the metasploit :S why ?
that guy on the video didn't type URIPATH and didn't get random path like i did 192.168.1.4 only without the 192.168.1.4:80/fedfwgvsw
why ?

A weekend with old friends
- 19.10.2015- by Moon News
Having not been in the Grampians for months, due to work and a mind boggling trip to rocklands, I was frothing to get back to some of my projects. Weather looked primo and I was feeling refreshed, so we decided to head to an old crag that I hadn't visited in years. Having been ravaged by fire a couple of years ago, this area has seen some intense regrowth, which makes for an interesting walk in, 8 foot high weeds are not the best friend of a budding boulderer. But, we made it to the crag nonetheless. It was still as good as I remember. We ran around and repeated some of the primo lines, including the proud highway, which I did the FA of almost 10 years ago. It is still one of the best lines I have ever been on and I enjoyed every second of it, 3 times... Next up was an old project that I had almost forgotten about, there had been one move that had rebuffed me repeatedly. However, with fresh eyes and plenty of psych, I found a new sequence and managed to send this cool roof probleRead More...

The First Ever American Ninja Warrior
- 12.10.2015- by Moon News
In the seventh season of the worlds hardest obstacle course, it had remained unconquered! Back again for my 3rd year in a row. Las Vegas, Nv. One of my least favorite places to be in the middle of the summer. With the temperatures reaching a scorching high of 46 celsius, it was far from bearable even in the middle of the night. Luckily the competition doesn't begin until night time and continues on till sunrise. With the heat, sleep deprivation and nerves its no wonder why this obstacle course had yet to be defeated. Talk about putting your ninja skills to the test. On the first night of the competition, I was able to assess the upcoming obstacles, although its too late to actually train physically I could begin to overload my mental muscles. The hardest American Ninja Warrior Finals in history was ahead of me and the other 100 athletes were ready to face off with the unbeatable course. Stage 1. Balance, speed, agility, coordination. Are the basis of the skills needeRead More...
The best crag in the world?
- 02.10.2015- by Ben Moon
I write this Blog having just got back to our Gite in Gap after a great day climbing in Ceuse. I've only ever had 1 day at Ceuse and that was way back in 1995. I am now wondering what I have been doing with my life for the past 20 years! Many claim it to be the best sport-climbing cliff in the world and it would be hard to argue with this claim. Bullet hard limestone, stunning location, world class routes in all directions and at least on the routes I climbed today a definite old school feel about them. We headed up to the Berlin sector and warmed up on a technical 6b+ face climb that really reminded me of the Styx wall at Buoux, keeping you on your toes, literally speaking all the way to the belay.

Climbing Legend
Born in the suburbs of London in 1966, Moon started rock climbing on the sandstone outcrops of Kent and Sussex. A pioneer in the sport-climbing revolution of the 1980s and a bouldering legend in the 1990s, he is one of the most iconic rock climbers in the sport's history.
25 years ago, he was the first person to climb Hubble at Raven Tor. At its inception, Hubble was the hardest sport route in the world, now widely recognised as the world's first F9a. And of June this year, Ben made an inspirational ascent of Rainshadow (9a) at Malham Cove in Yorkshire.

A Summer of ups and downs Michiel Nieuwenhuijsen
- 17.09.2015- by Moon News
In mid-June I was in Font, the season was over and I had no expectations. Just a week chilling in the forest, one of the nicest places I know. But despite the heat I was able to send my 'summer' project Chaos (8b). I felt really strong and confident about the summer to come, 3 weeks sending in Silvretta. But things turned out different. The day after we returned from Font I dislocated my kneecap, never go to the beach, what does a climber have to do on the beach anyway ;) I couldn't walk, couldn't drive, couldn't stretch my leg, nothing. Straight away I knew that Silvretta was off the table and I was worried that the whole summer would be a big (climbing) deception. I know I shouldn't whine too much, because I hardly ever have injuries. Recuperation still was boring, went way too slow and my mood was (occasionally) poor during it. Big thanks to my good friend and colleague Mathieu who helped me with this as a physiotherapist. The knee was slowly doing better and I was stRead More...
Weekend in Val Daone
- 03.09.2015- by David Falt
I finally got a chance to escape for a weekend and go climbing! Bouldering in Val Daone and a quick stop in Arco, that was our plan and I only wish we had more time. Icecream, cappuccino, little shopping and saying hello to our youth team who are crushing there at the World Championships.
Then we were off. Up in the Valley, the air was so much cooler and the fine granite boulders were waiting for us. I'm slowly getting back in shape after my finger injury and a busy summer, so I just wanted to enjoy it and climb a lot.

It is a much more civil place without the attacks & nonsense that used to go on here. I can barely remember the last time anyone was banned, which says a lot.

Hong Kong Halloween Treats Party: Day One Video!
The Winners list
- Hiyuki (Singapore)
- Jason (Singapore)
- Kaika /Elpheal (Singapore)
- Akihiko (Malaysia)
- Akiraceo (Malaysia)
- Rochelle(Philippines)
- Jerry Polene (Philippines)
- Yuki GodBless(Thailand)

*Edit: Oops! Sorry had some error there! Yukigodbless is actually from Thailand, not Philippine ^^;;;
Yes, the file finally uploaded and you guys should totally commend me for being so hardworking xD
This is the holiday video from Day One of my sponsored Hong Kong Halloween Treats holiday. Which again, was sponsored by the Hong Kong Tourism Board and Animax. Much thanks to them for organising this wonderful trip and giving me the chance to experience Hong Kong for myself.
It's really queer and heartwarming to rewatch all these footages. Especially the ones of us on the bus from the airport to the hotel. It was the first time we all met but we bonded almost immediately!
I was actually quite nervous about meeting everyone prior to the trip because everyone seemed like such mega stars! And I was afraid we wouldn't get along, which would totally sucked being stuck in a foreign land. But we did get a long. And it felt really heartwarming to have each other around.
Especially thanks to the Singapore participants Hiyuki and Jason who I hung out with the most. It was really nice to hang out with them and I definitely look forward to getting to know more about them, in Singapore haha.
And remember what I mentioned about how this trip totally made up for losing the WCS selection round 3 times? Yeah, its because of free and easy itinerary like this and the lack of competition pressure.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the video and leave me a comment okay??

"Prepare your dog in such a manner that the work he is normally called upon to do under-whelms him, not overwhelms him." ~ Evan Graham
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
― George Bernard Shaw
The Smartwork System for Retriever Training (link)
When you are training, don't go straight to the bucket and start throwing marks every time. Mix it up: walk past the bucket, walk in circles around the bucket, go to the bucket sit down blow your call sit there for a min and go back to the holding blind, work from a holding blind (if you're not), walk to the bucket slow and KEEP him at heel, throw a mark and then go back to the holding blind and don't let him have it. These are all just suggestions use them or don't some may help some may not. The dog is excited to get to the bucket and he knows the bucket means marks, plus tests are a very exciting atmosphere which adds to the antisipation for him (and you). As someone else mentioned, try to find a club or a group of guys to train with. If you can work with other people and dogs it will help with the excitment a bit. Good luck.
And you need to train coming out of a holding blind to line which is often not done when training - of truck to line. Should be off truck to holding blind.
Gentle in what you do. Firm in how you do it.

One suit to rule them all.
If you've ever expressed disappointment in your triathlon race apparel, we understand why. When you think about it, creating one piece to function throughout three disciplines is quite the challenge. And while we applaud the industry's ambition to do so, we're generally disappointed with the execution. However, with TYR's new Competitor Women's Front Zipper Tri Suit, it placed a specialized focus on creating one suit that performs perfectly across the board. More impressively, though, success in each stage isn't hinged on compromise. Instead, the Competitor functions like three individual pieces in one anatomic design.
For the bulk of the Competitor Tri Suit's construction, TYR used a blend of polyester and spandex. Why these two fibers? Well, polyester is easily the most versatile fiber in sports apparel. Case in point is the venerable Lycra material. It provides a supportive, yet non-constrictive, structure, while remaining soft-to-the-touch. Additionally, with the elasticity of the added spandex content, the resulting material is granted a four-way stretch. So, your freedom of movement is guaranteed, regardless of the discipline at hand. You'll also find that, when combined, this material is quite efficient at managing moisture. So, whether it be water or perspiration, moisture moved away from the skin and transported to the quick-drying surface of the fabric. As a result, you remain dry and comfortable over the two land legs of your competition. And in addition to this effective fiber combination, TYR also coated the surface with Teflon. Essentially, this aids in overall durability, but just as importantly, it bolsters the suit's aero- and hydrodynamics.
In terms of fit, TYR designed the Competitor Tri Suit for competitors, meaning that it's ready for endurance racing. It features a comfort beaded silicone leg hem, knee length lowers, and inset armholes that allow a non-pinching locomotion of the arms during the run and swim. And as a result of these features, cumulatively, the suit experiences more surface area coverage, which results in an increase in both compressive support and resistance to wetsuit chafing.
Furthering this level of comfort, TYR included its new Competitor AMP chamois. This insert features a minimalist construction as to provide enough support for the bike leg without inhibiting comfort in either the swim or run. And because of the swim, TYR also designed the Competitor to be water-resistant and quick-drying. So, you won't be racing soggy after T1.
For storage of your race nutrition, TYR has also included a zippered rear pocket. And for an easy entry and exit of the suit, it also features a 10-inch locking front zipper.
The TYR Competitor Women's Front Zipper Tri Suit is available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Black/red and Black/light blue.

- NOTE: To cater to different needs and budgets, TYR engineers two triathlon lines. Competitor garments offer a compressive fit, while carbon garments offer a super compressive fit for a second-skin feel. You should select your same, standard size for both carbon and competitor garments but expect slightly different fits.
- How to Measure:
- For best results take measurements over your underwear, keeping the tape a bit loose.
- Chest:
- Measure under your arms, around the fullest part of your chest.
- Waist:
- Bend to the side and measure around the place where your waist bends, keeping the tape a bit loose.
- Hip:
- Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of the hip.
- Torso:
- With someone's help, run a tape measure full circle from your shoulder at the neck, over the fullest part of your chest, down through the center of your crotch and back up to the starting point.

You don't have to break the bank to secure yourself a new tablet. If you're willing to compromise on size, speed, and functionality, you can snag yourself a serviceable device for less than $200. Tablets have improved fast in the last couple of years, and they've dropped in price as smartphones have grown larger and eaten into the tablet market.
If you're feeling the pinch right now and that budget is limited, here are the best cheap tablets that $200 or less will buy you.
LG G Pad 7.0 8GB ($130)
At this price, you can forgive the wide bezels and the 1280 x 800-pixel resolution. Inside, you'll find a 1.2GHz quad-core processor with just 1GB of RAM, but this tablet still performs surprisingly well in practice. You only get 8GB of storage and a 3-megapixel camera, but that's counterbalanced by a whopping 4,000mAh battery, which delivers around 10 hours of service. It's a solid, 7-inch Android tablet that offers good value for money. Read our full review here.
Buy it now from:
Lenovo Tab 2 A10 ($198)
A tablet with a 10.1-inch display for under $200 is not to be scoffed at. Thankfully, this is a major improvement over the original, fuzzy-screened A10. This time around the resolution is 1920 x 1200 pixels, there's a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, an 8-megapixel camera, and a 7,000mAh battery for up to 10 hours of juice on the go. It also runs Android 4.4 out of the box, but can be updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop. To put it simply, this tablet is an absolute bargain.
Buy it now from:
Dell Venue 8 Pro 3000 Series 32GB ($128)
There two reasons why this tablet is now worth considering, where we wouldn't have recommended it before. Firstly, the price has dropped dramatically, way below our $200 budget. Secondly, you should be able to upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 10. The hardware is every bit as limited as the budget-based price would suggest, though, with a 1.33GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM. However, it does tout 32GB of storage — with a microSD card slot for adding more — and an 8-inch screen with a passable 1280 x 800-pixel resolution. Read our full review here.
Buy it now from:
Toshiba Encore 2 10 32GB ($180)
If you're a Windows fan, you can even snag a 10-inch tablet for less than $200 now. Toshiba's Encore 2 ships with Windows 8.1 and a free Office 365 subscription for a year, but you can also easily upgrade the device to Windows 10 if you wish to do so. Nonetheless, the specs aren't great. The 10.1-inch display is only 1280 x 800 pixels, which is stretching things at this size, and there's only 1GB of RAM. Thankfully, there is an Intel Atom processor, 32GB of storage, and a 5-megapixel camera. Read our full review here.
Buy it now from:
Google Nexus 7 16GB ($190)
Even though it's rapidly aging and Google has officially discontinued it, you'll still find stock available here and there, and you could a lot worse than to snag one before they're all gone. The 1920 x 1200-pixel resolution is sharp, while the 1.5GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM make it snappy alongside the 16GB of storage. You also get a 5-megapixel camera and the Nexus 7 runs stock Android, so you'll enjoy the latest flavor of Lollipop. It's surprising how well this tablet stands up, considering it landed two years ago. Read our full review here.
Buy it now from:
Asus MeMO Pad 8 16GB ($120)
If you want a slightly bigger screen, then you really don't have many options at this price point. Asus has proven adept at manufacturing cheap tablets that are reasonably good quality. This one sports 1280 x 800-pixel resolution, a 1.33GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. It does offer a microSD card slot, a 5-megapixel camera, and a reasonably big 3,950mAh battery as well. There are obviously some compromises here, but it's a good price for a tablet within the 8-inch category.
Buy it now from:
Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 ($140)
The pricing on the Fire HD 7 is incredibly enticing — and the specs are decent. It offers 1280 x 800-pixel resolution, a quad-core processor that can hit 1.5 GHz, stereo speakers, a 2-megapixel camera, and 8GB of storage. Battery life is reasonable at around 8 hours from mixed use. It's not a great tablet, and Amazon's brand of Android is limited, but it makes a lot of sense if you're a Prime member given the adventurous can look into sideloading and rooting. If you can stretch to $180 for the Kindle Fire HDX, which also sports a 7-inch screen, then you'll get a lot more for your money. The 1920 x 1200-pixel resolution, 2.2GHz processor, and dual-band Wi-Fi are just the start. Read our full review here.

Brewed by:
Santa Fe Brewing Company
New Mexico, United States
Style: American Double / Imperial Stout
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 8.00%
Availability: Winter
Notes / Commercial Description:
This is the kind of beer that gives the word "stout" a reputation. Extra generous quantities of barley malt, followed by vigorous fermentation leaves this "imperial" heavy weight with 8% alcohol A.B.V. and a body as full as chocolate bread pudding. A complimentary and complex array of bitter notes comes form potent American hops, earthy British hops, black-roasted malts and, of course, coffee. Santa Fe Brewing Company uses only top-quality ingredients like organically grown East Timor coffee beans blended with New Guinea coffee beans, locally roasted by O'hori's Coffee House. Its heavenly flavor and aroma can't be beat or imitated.

This classic favorite has made a comeback, and it's easier than ever to make when using a cake mix.
SuperMoist® butter recipe yellow or white cake mix can also be used to make this popular cake. Make batter as directed on box, using 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice and 1/2 cup water instead of water called for on box. For white cake, bake dark or nonstick pan 42 to 48 minutes.
Serve with sweetened whipped cream or an 8-oz container of frozen (thawed) whipped topping (3 cups) if desired. For 3 cups of sweetened whipped cream, in chilled medium bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups whipping cream and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.

The Phillips Library is the documentation and research division of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. The collection presents a detailed account of the global nature of commercial outreach by Essex County residents in the 18th and 19th centuries during the "golden age" of shipping. Logbooks, merchant account books, shipbuilder's records, customhouse records, and documentation of travels and exploration to the Pacific can all be found within its print and manuscript collections. At one time, Salem was the largest trading port on the east coast. Logbooks in the collection document the relationship between Salem and Japan as early as 1799. China trade is also represented through manuscripts found in the collection and by the Frederick Townsend Ward print collection, one of the world's largest collections of Western-language materials on Imperial China.
In addition, the history of Essex County is strongly represented by manuscripts from its prominent citizens such as Nathaniel Bowditch, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Lucy Larcom, Samuel McIntire, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, George Peabody, and John Greenleaf Whittier, as well as the Crowninshield, Derby, Hemenway, and Phillips families of Salem.
