San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree hasn't been to practice at all this week due to a lower leg injury. The team has been quiet about specifics since they are not required to disclose as much information at this time of the year. Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that his injury "wasn't serious" and anticipates he'll return soon. Crabtree was seen running sprints near the practice field as part of his rehabilitation.
Fantasy Analysis:
Crabtree is now infamous for having missed so much training camp not only this season, but in his entire NFL career. Whether it was injuries or holding out as a rookie, Crabtree has preferred to go about things his own way. The wide receiver crew in San Francisco has a lot of interesting talent, there's just no way of knowing how it will all play out. For what it's worth, Crabtree did have a career-year last season, but with the addition of Randy Moss and Mario Manningham , it is unlikely any of them emerge as a reliable fantasy threat.

Did the Hi-Powers that would have been bought new in '71 have a hammer block?????? Did they have a half-cock? I bought one in August, and I think I remember carrying it hammer all the way down on a loaded chamber...I'm a lefty...no ambi safeties then...anyone know for sure???? I got rid of it within a few months...got a .45....
I have a Hi-Power from that era, a '70's T-series model, and yes it does have the half-cock position, but no firing pin block.
Thanks for the reply...wonder I didn't blow my young ... off back then...you don't know what you don't know!!!
I'd think it would be very difficult to have this type of AD with a HP, firing pin block or not. The firing pin is shorter than the slide channel, plus it has a pin spring. These together would, IMO, make adding a fp block as they have now, unnecessary.

I never looked closely at one but I assume it would have a pair of set screws for fine tuning the horizontal and vertical alignment. The advantage over a guide rod laser is that it comes on when you squeeze the grip, so you don't have to reach forward and flip a switch.
I handled a few guns with Crimson Traces at shows, and I found my fingers get in the way.

about us.
I retired in January at the age of 68, and the last two or three years in particular, with 50-60 hour weeks, had taken their toll on me. One of the things I promised myself was that when I hung it up, I would work out regularly, and I began working with a personal trainer daily. "So you want to get bigger," one of my friends commented. Well, yeah. And trimmer.
As an outgrowth of working out, that led to other changes, including doing a better job with my diet and keeping hydrated. Although I had been an "occasional" customer of M&G in recent years, I also began using your products more regularly, I noticed that dry patches, such as a very persistent one on my elbow, gave way. My skin has become noticeably more supple and even more taut. I have tanned judiciously (no more than 24 minutes a week), a side benefit after my internist recommended that, when supplements did not address a Vitamin D deficiency.
But the shocker was when I ran into a former colleague a few weeks ago. We had not seen one another since I left. As we exchanged hellos, she said with a grin "Obviously, retirement is agreeing with you," then she did a double-take, and added, "Oh, my gosh, you look ten years younger!"
A purely anecdotal testimonial, to be sure, but M&G has been an important contributor to changing the arc of my life this year for the better. Thanks!
With that said, you've got a huge new fan... My father. He's been suffering from rosacea (amongst other skin issues) for years. He's tried every possible prescription face medication possible with little or no success.
For years I've been trying to get him to give your products a shot. He's not the easiest "sell". Finally, for his birthday in April, he asked me to get him "the face stuff I've been telling him about".
Within 48 hours I was getting texts and calls from him telling me he can feel something happening. That was followed by texts of his nightly face cleansing regimens. He even went on vacation for 10 days and brought all the samples he could for the trip! He's hooked! He's telling everyone he knows.
You've made my Christmas shopping for him a breeze...
Had to share... And of course say thanks!
Josh S.
Dear Mr. Goetz,
I apologize for taking some time replying to this--I saw the email soon after you sent it and proceeded to walk away from my inbox with awe. It was much like when you had walked into the Chelsea store with Mr. Greenberg last December and I sort of clammed up.I'm not very good at handling unexpected things, and tend to be very private. I had a mini heart attack when I saw the Christmas Card that we gave along with the truffles on Facebook, and I refused to be in the photo today when Doris was whipping out her iPhone. I don't expect any of this, so thank you for the outreach. I know you're all very busy people and we're just a random couple in the Bronx. I regret not taking the opportunity in December to tell you in person how much we love your products (I blame Mr. Greenberg for being too distracting and adorable), so I don't want to lose this opportunity to do so.
The story of how we got into MALIN+GOETZ is far too long for a card, and I've said parts of it when visiting the Chelsea store. It's all Alex's fault really; after his first visit to FSC Barber, the barber used the hair pomade and he was so smitten by it that he immediately walked over to the Chelsea store and purchased it. He also got a eucalyptus deodorant, because how can anyone refuse that? Alex also received many samples and brought them home and thoroughly enjoyed them. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I tried some of the samples (Alex looked so happy having his little stash that I didn't want to "steal" from him), and there was no going back.
I suffer from eczema and Alex suffers from eczema and rosacea. Over the winters, our conditions become aggravated and it's hard to enjoy life when you're itching or red or worse because you can't stop fussing. My eczema likes to surface around my cheeks, which apparently gives the appearance of nice rosy cheeks, but is actually extremely painful to the point where I hated making facial expressions on the coldest/driest of days. The winter when we discovered MALIN+GOETZ was the first winter I was genuinely happy: my cheeks were not red and flaking and for the first time my life my eczema was under control. Alex's face wasn't red anymore and he was no longer scratching his body. The replenishing face serum and cream are miracle workers that we both swear by for the colder temperatures. It was like we rediscovered being able to enjoy life again, no longer burdened by a level of discomfort, and winter was no longer a season to endure.
From the face products, it didn't take long for us to branch out to hair and body. Alex can never get enough peppermint--from the shampoo to the scrub, he's all over it. The best part of your hair products (besides them working wonderfully) are people's reactions when they smell and marvel over the cilantro conditioner scent. It's different, fresh, and leaves everyone wanting more. The candles are a wonderful way to destress and relax. It's been a beautiful, red-free, and itch-free 2 going on 3 years since we've immersed ourselves in the world of MALIN+GOETZ.
Truth be told, MALIN+GOETZ was simply a way of life for us. We have our preferred seasonal products that we cycle through. We order from Bloomingdales as needed since we're Loyallists and we get points for it on top of free shipping. It wasn't until a year after the discovery that I had people asking me what products I used since they said I had great skin. Perhaps it's because I still mentally remember myself as the acne-prone teenager I used to be, but I was shocked when someone pointed that out to me. Then I realized that she must not have been lying because more people pointed it out. I was skeptical of the praise, but I always told them about MALIN+GOETZ and some of them proceeded to buy some and report their own love for the product.
The most definitive proof I uncovered was looking at the catalog of photographs for the wedding website. Pictures of me before I was 25 showed me with the occasional acne outbreak that involved at least one angry red pimple and a smile that ultimately says: why are you taking a picture of me? Any photo of me from 25 on has me with blemish-free skin. While I could also possibly thank my hormones for calming down, I did the math and realized that also coincided with when we started using MALIN+GOETZ products. I don't use make up, so it's been a huge difference and I'm so much happier in photos now since my smile is much more confident and not one bit self-aware. (In case you're wondering for the math, I'm turning 28 this year.)
The promotional offers during the last holiday season was what finally got Alex and I to visit the Chelsea store. I'm so happy you ran them, because it's gave us the opportunity to meet the MALIN+GOETZ family of amazing and fabulous employees. It's a great location to go when we need a product in a pinch. It's been wonderful getting to know everyone and it's like stopping by a fabulously scented second home. The visits were also great escapes as we purchased gifts for close family friends and vendors for the wedding, allowing time to exchange some quick laughs and moments of solace from the mad rush of wedding planning.
I also have to eternally thank you for both the acne treatment that I used to feverishly stem off stress acne and the rice bran eye moisturizer when I couldn't get much sleep the week before the wedding. It helped keep me not looking too haggard and looking great on wedding day.
Oh dear, this turned into a much longer version of "thank you for making quality products we can depend on." MALIN+GOETZ are the first and last products we use everyday. Beyond the wedding process, your products have been a daily part of our lives, but I won't repeat the sentiment in the cards. I like to think the products simply sell themselves, and we're just steering people in the right direction when they ask. Thank you so much, and we continue to praise you and wish you further success in your endeavors.
With much love,
Alison and Alex
Just had my first successful visit to FSC Barber where the dude introduced me to (M+G) pomade. Awesome stuff! Good stuff! Just felt like sharing. :) When something works, the good news should be shared.

I just wanted to write to say how much I love your face lotion. I've been using the lotion on my face for the last two years and have loved it. I had surgery 2 weeks ago and as the surgical site heals, it has been itching. My doctor has strict restrictions about what I can use - the face lotion fits. Additionally, I'm allergic to a lot of medical grade material such as tegaderm. I was concerned when I put it on the first time, afraid it would sting like some other lotions I tried but much like when I put it on my face it, it fixed the flaky skin and itch without stinging!Thank you so much.
Very truly yours,
Hannah S.
Hey Malin+Goetz!
After years of horrible acne, I finally found your products, my saving grace! I tried everything from Clearasil to Proactive and nothing ever fixed the problem areas. I love your 10% glycolic acid pads, they helped with not only drying up my acne, but prevented new pimples from forming. As a spot treatment, I use the 10% active sulfur acne treatment. If a pimple felt like it was coming on, I'd dab a drop of that on over night and the next day there is always no bump! Not only does it stop pimples, its evened out sun and acne spots I've had for years! These products are miracle workers. After using your products, I told everyone I know about your website. My mother, best friends, and all 4 of my roommates use Malin+Goetz now and we all have the clearest skin of our lives! Thank You for giving me makeup-free confidence again, I haven't felt comfortable in my skin until now. I'll continue to use your products for life and will continue to recommend Malin+Goetz to everyone I know!
Malin+Goetz saved my skin!
Alice M., Texas
Wanted to write a quick note to let you know that after suffering a severe bout of acne at age 23-24, I was left with permanent rosacea after it cleared up. I had perfect skin before that, and am now 32 years old. I've struggled for years to find a product that would eliminate the redness on my chin, and finally found a somewhat magical combination in the Grapefruit Cleanser and Vitamin E Moisturizer.
After only using your face products for less than a month, I've noticed a huge difference. The redness is almost completely gone, and some clogged pores I had lingering around have cleared up as well. I am thrilled and plan to recommend your products to a couple friends who've had similar issues to mine.
The eucalyptus deodorant because it's all natural, and it prevents me from stinking without putting harmful aluminum in my pores! Rachel Z.
I'm a huge fan of the peppermint shampoo & cilantro conditioner - I'm going to NYC soon & want my hair to look & smell fab!!! :) Ron T.
Eucalyptus Deodorant. It's a great product! One of my many faves from Malin+Goetz. Alex F.
grapefruit cleanser + detox mask, these two together have cleared my skin like nothing else! Steven W.
Eucalyptus deodorant and the new spf 15 face moisturizer. You get to smell great here (under arms) and feel great there (face) and @ the same time, protect the best thing on your body...your skin! Burt S.
Eucalyptus Deodorant. All my friends appreciate the fact that my deodorant doesn't smell like the stuff their little brothers use after gym class. Matt M.
Has to be the Essential Kit. What better way to get acquainted with what you do so well...Bart D.
The Vitamin E Shaving cream is AMAZING because it cools your face down after shaving, because we all know we'd like to just stick our faces in the freezer after we shave! Also the Detox Face Mask, GREAT and easy cleanser and improves skin texture! Darian C.
You can't go wrong with any M+G product! The shampoo and conditioner, the grapefruit face wash, love all of it! Matthew F.
M+G's Vitamin E Face Moisturizer because until we met, I swore I'd NEVER put a lotion-textured hydrator on my face. It proved to me that a creamy moisturizer exists that doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy-in fact -- quite the opposite! And c'mon -- M&G's Dark Rum Candle remains the best $48 I've ever spent in my life. I would marry it (without a pre-nup) in a heartbeat. Gregory G.
Your peppermint shampoo and cilantro conditioner changed my hair. Once I started using your product I no longer had to flat iron my frizz and fly-always. My hair not only smelled great it felt great. My scalp was healthier too. I tell everyone about your miracle products. I can't wait to try more items. I just need to get to a store to seek out my next must have from your company. Great job. Sarah A.
I think that the Synthesized Geranium fragrance is one of the most unique products out there on the product in terms of packaging and of course the amazing smell. Haya Z.
The cilantro conditioner b/c it smells AWESOME! Ally G.
The essentials travel kit, because I would like one of EVERYTHING, and this would be a good start! Hollie B.
The Replenishing Face Serum. Whenever I stop into the Chelsea store, I ask whoever's working their personal favorite (M+G) product; more often than not, it's the Face Serum for its unique benefits to skin tone and texture. I want in on the secret! Colin S.
Personally, I'd have to root for the Cannabis Candle. I mean what better scent to truly chill out to??? And a clean-burning candle to top it all off? Perfection. Additionally, I have to give a shout out to the Vitamin b5 Moisturizer. It's the perfect total-body moisturizer, and it smells so nice I even use it to tame my crazy curly hair! Malin+Goetz is perfection. Joel L.
Love the cannabis perfume oil too....try it!!!! Sara D. Hands down, the Rum Candle. If my whole apartment can smell like my tonic why not? Wait did mention the rum tonic? Jason N.
Vitamin E Face Moisturizer and Rice Bran Eye Moisturizer are my two faves! :-) Robert P.
MALIN + GOETZ Perfume Rum tonic!! Smell yummy :D Nikki L. Peppermint Shampoo & Cilantro Conditioner, absolutely fantastic! Joseph S.
I got to try the peppermint shampoo and cilantro conditioner when we stayed at the ace in Portland last year - and I have to say Portland was just that much better because m + g stuff was magic! Deborah R.
Your Eucalyptus deodorant is delicious to the nose (both mine and others). It doesn't feel sticky, or dry out your skin. I wonder if the Koalas smell this good? Tyson S.
I tried the face detox mask for the first time yesterday and I swear that I could feel the product working! It was the coolest feeling that I've ever felt in a face mask product. I'm completely enthusiastic about using it again and it made my face feel so nice after too and it smelled great. Definetely a must grab! Dayna S.
Love your products, had a facial in Palm Springs at a boutique hotel that uses Malin+Goetz exclusively, and my skin never felt better. I bought the grapefruit cleanser, vitamin E moisturizer and one of the best candles ever. You have an amazing line. My skin is somewhat sensitive and I rarely get blemishes. I was out of product for two weeks and went to my back up stuff, got a break out! Learned my lesson to order before I run out! ♥ loyal customer forever! Ami D.
The Vitamin E face moisturizer is the best! Soothing after you shave, effectively eliminates tight dry feeling, light clean scent, absorbs instantly & does not look shiny. What more could anyone want? Greg S.
Malin+Goetz Rum Tonic Eau made me find my partner :-)Thomas M.
Malin+Goetz products are nothing short of astonishing. The formula of every single product is packed full of state of the art, technologically advanced ingredients, allowing you to experience maximum benefits and results. Malin+Goetz is a personal care line designed for those who, like me, have tried everything else under the sun, and simply want well formulated products that work. Richard G.
Synthesized Musk is THE musk of all musks. Warm, earthy, clean, sun-warmed skin. Perfect for layering. I own this in both formulations, and never fail to receive a compliment when wearing. I will always have this! Sharon M.
I love the rum spritz!! it's crazy sexy!! :) Shelby M.
The Bergamot Body Wash and Vitamin B5 Body Moisturizer are like a power couple for my body! I have sensitive, dry skin. The Bergamot Body Wash is efficacious and cleanses without overdrying, and the Vitamin B5 Body Moisturizer is like a tall, cool drink of water for my thirsty skin. After I shower and get ready to begin my day, my skin feels completely comfortable - neither too moisturized nor dried out. Simply soft, comfortable skin. Richard G.
I'm obsessed with the Bergamot body wash. Like, hopelessly obsessed. Thanks. Wendy S.
The detox face mask is AMAZING!!! Ron T.
Aloe almond gel is amazing!!!! Steven W.
I just bought Otto from the store on 7th avenue. If I wasn't already wearing Cannabis and Neroli, I'd be wearing it. Smells like a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Fragrant Moments.
I am writing this email because I love Malin+Goetz's products and service. I'm not a celebrity or an M+G relative, just a pleased customer who wants to share that pleasure. I discovered M+G a few years ago when O Magazine plugged the jojoba face scrub. I bought it, loved it, it has a great smell and is an effective cleanser. I have sensitive skin and a very sensitive sense of smell. I love the smell of all M+G products and have never had an adverse reaction to any of them, yet they are effective. I am grateful Malin+Goetz has put their expertise into creating products I can use safely. The service at Malin+Goetz is reliable and prompt. I always receive quick, helpful answers to my email questions and my products arrive in excellent condition, in a timely manner. Love the free sample too! So that is my plug from the heart (and face). Jane R.
I just had to send you an email and let you know...you should be very proud of your deodorant that you have developed...spending three years getting to the end result has absolutely paid off....I LOVE IT...THANK YOU FOR A FANTASTIC PRODUCT.....:o) Patricia T.
I love the detox face mask. I have combination skin that is sensitive to almost everything and is acne prone. But this stuff has kept such a great balance and I have not broken out! :-) Stella
Thank you SO MUCH for responding to me so quickly!! You guys are absolutely the very best!! I positively ADORE Malin & Goetz, as do my husband and teenagers -- the quality of the products is just over the top... Even my surly 14 year-old son reminded me the other day that his beloved lime hand wash was running low... He never notices ANY other product going out on him -- this was truly remarkable! Thanks so much again for your assistance, and for your fabulous product line! I really appreciate your time & help! With tremendous gratitude, Michelle D.
I continue to love these products. Thanks so much for making stuff that works and smells great! Madeline, Chicago, IL
hi, satisfied customer here (face wash, shampoo, body moisturizer, perfumery). fyi, great face shave results with cilantro hair conditioner. read about using hair conditioner as a pre-shave on the internet; also as a shave cream in a pinch. tried a few different brand conditioners; the Malin + Goetz cilantro gave best results. Michael Rosenblum
Thank you again! I am so pleased with everything.. Your cellular renewal cream is the bomb! Sara Griscomrn, Knoxville, TN
I have to say that these are the best facial and body products I have ever used. I cannot believe the change in my skin. Especially my face. Love, love the Detox Face Mask! A friend recommended them to me once she used them at the 21 C Mueseum Hotel in Louisville KY. I have since shared with my mother who was suffering with eczema on her face and your Vitamin E Face Moisturizer cleared it up. So now she will be placing her first order with you.
Tracey Ferguson, Lexington, KY
Your Lip Moisturizer changed my life. I just gave birth to my second daughter and my lips were so dry. I have never used your products, and a friend squeezed some on my finger to try it. I swear to all holy things that I grabbed my computer and ordered 2 tubes asap. I don't know what's in it, and I don't care. My lips feel as wonderful as my baby Georgia's bottom. I almost changed her name to Malin+Goetz Lowenberg, but I think Georgia still sounds better. Thank you for your products!! Sincerely, Erin (a new customer)
Tried a few of your samples at The Encore in Las Vegas-great products...and you should know I was married to a dermatologist. Thanks, Marc
thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful products. my partner and i have fallen in love with many of your products over the last two years. from the rum bar soap to the detox face mask (and many in between), your products are simply superior to others in the marketplace. continue the exceptional work. chad trujillo, louisville, ky
I just wanted to take this opportunity to provide you with feedback on your Lip Moisturizer. I stopped by the store in Chelsea this past weekend to learn more about the full product line. In the process, I came away with a couple of products, one of them being the Lip Moisturizer. I have to say it is, bar none, the best lip balm I have ever tried and I am a bit of a cosmetics junkie so I've sampled quite a few! My lips have been terribly chapped over the past month due to the cold New York weather. Then, of course, this is only exacerbated by the fact that once they start to get chapped, I tend to lick them for moisture, making the problem worse.
So, I was curious to try your Lip in an attempt to get a handle on my chapped lips. I've only used it a few times, thus far, but I have to say it is absolutely incredible. I literally felt a huge difference upon immediate use. I love the fact that it is so moisturizing yet not too goopy and certainly not waxy. Plus, I really found that, once it sunk into my lips, it really kept them moisturized and super-soft for the whole day. There is also a visible difference in my lips, which is nice. I was starting to get self-conscious and it always looks terrible when you apply lipstick over badly chapped lips. I can no longer see the dryness. So, I have to thank you and I'm sure my boyfriend would like to thank you too (kissing someone with chapped lips is no fun!!!). This stuff is amazing. I also have to thank your staff for their incredibly courteous and patient service. They really took the time to walk me through everything in a thorough fashion. Greatly appreciated. Yours truly, Ellen Kackmann
Your products are the best I have ever used, I have used kiehls, dermetalogica, art of shaving, lab series, clinique for men, and have never had face and body products work so well, be so simple, and really satisfy all the senses! Bravo, I am from NY (Babylon, on long island) and will definitely stop by your store when I visit soon. Thanks again! Ryan Mc Caslin
Hi, This is the only hand cream (Vit B5 Hand Treatment) that has helped my hands even if they have been in water. It is fantastic! It only took me 63 years to find it. Barbara Tippie, Chicago.
Your products were recommended by the Grooming Lounge in McLean, Virginia, and I agree that they are excellent. Thank you. Sam Rimell
Your vitamin e face moisturizer is wonderful. I love it and we also use it on my dad. He used to have eye infections constantly from dry flakes of skin going into his eyes. Then I tried my vitamin e moisturizer on him and he had never had another one. Amazing...Thanks, Joanne (daughter)
I love the Detox Face Mask. I picked it up at the Beauty Bar at St John's Town Center in Jacksonville Florida and just love it. It reminds me of no other product from any other line that I have tried. A really effective and yet surporisingly gentle cleanser. Thanks. Dr. Dan B.
I have been very impressed with the level of customer service and personal attention to my order and that you've earned my repeat business in the future -- as well as recommendations to others -- because of that. Best, Jeff Mc Andrews
Hello... I would really like a sample of the cellular renewal cream. I am a long time customer and have been waiting and waiting for the release of this cream (2 + years!!). Best regards. Crystal
Paige--I have been very impressed with the level of customer service and personal attention to my order and that you've earned my repeat business in the future--as well as recommendations to others.
I have had the opportunity to try the Grapefruit Face Cleanser, Jojoba Face Scrub, Vitamin E Face Moisturizer, Bergamot Body Was, and the Peppermint Hair Shampoo. The Face Cleanser and Moisturizer are extremely gentle and soothing to my skin. The Face Cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean yet not dry and tight, something most other cleansers do. The Moisturizer is working for me as well since most moisturizers cause my skin to redden and itch whereas yours does not. This is a relief. The Bergamot Body Wash is quite moisturizing and soothing as well. The scent of this is extraordinary. Due to the change in weather my skin has been a bit on the dry side. Your body wash has cleared this up after only two uses--especially my elbows and knees. Overall I must say your products are a giant leap from from what I have been using. Gentle, soothing, hydrating, and, calming to my sensitive and reactive skin.

M+G, Please don't EVER stop making the MUSK perfume oil! It's amazing and I don't ever want to be without it! I stopped in to pick up some skin care on Tuesday night and I remembered the oil being mentioned in some editorial I'd seen so I picked up a bottle. It's really perfect; soft, warm and I suppose 'sensual' would be an appropriate word. A couple of days of wearing this and there's no way I could go back to wearing the Kiehl's musk oil I'd worn before - in my humble opinion, there's no comparison! Thanks again! Roman
Today, I had my first experience at your NYC shop. I was assisted by an intuitive and very capable young woman named Jessicah who guided me to the best products for my skin and hair and provided samples so that i could try ones that I was unsure of. After experiencing some of the products, of course, I am a confirmed fan. I want to thank you for making such lovely products and for choosing and training your staff well. I am eager to return for more.

Hi there,
I just had a quick look through your testimonials and realised I am not the only one who stayed at a classy hotel and feel in love with your products! The Condesa DF in Mexico City was the place it all happened. My husband, a chef of the not-so-celebrity kind, unshaven and scruffy, has also taken a shine to your products and has started moisturizing!!!! All the samples I bagged from our three nights stay there have been squeezed of their last drop. EEhh, you don't ship internationally! Any suggestions for a New Zealander on the verge of flying back just to get a whiff of that Peppermint Shampoo? A really big fan of the styling and simplicity of the product too.
Warm regards,
I just wanted to add my name to your list of very, very happy customers. I had never used your products until staying at 21C Hotel in Louisville this past May. Since then I moved to Williamstown, MA where your products are not sold, so I've become a devoted web shopper. My last order contained TONS of samples (YEAH!!!!!) including a sample of your Sage Styling Cream. I'm sold!! Thanks for making great products, thanks for making online shapping fun and thanks for introducing me to your broader product line.
Joan Hanscom
My name is Calvin Connell and I love your fragrances! I have all 4 of them.
I know that there is suppose to be two brand new fragrances that is suppose to be released pretty soon.
When will it be available to order online? (I honestly check every single day).
Dear Amanda, I recently received my order along with your wonderful note. I have to tell you that in this day of IM and e-mail and a hand written note is special and I appreciate it. Also, it was you who made the transaction easy after I forgot about the free shipping. Oh and lime is my favorite scent too, but I ordered the set cause I had to have that cool box!

I was just in New York the last 4 days and stayed at the Tribeca Grand Hotel where they provided your products. I have had eczema on my leg for over a year and after one shower using your product it was almost gone... its an amazing product. I also love what it did for my hair. Loved the tingle. Judy Walker
Hi Tim, hanks for the generous collection of samples and both of us really like the products. They sure beat the fine range of "Marriot Execustay" products that previously graced our lovely 1970s bathroom. Really appreciate the email and all the best for a great weekend. I'm sure you'll see me in the store again soon.....Louise M.
I tried your shampoo and conditioner at the New York Soho Grand Hotel and found your products are amazing. Since I am living in China, please advise me a place to purchase your products in China or maybe Hong Kong. Paul Kwok
Well, it's not often you email a company and get a reply from the CEO. Let me take the opportunity to say that I love your products! I have the whole line, and my body thanks me for it...Very best regards, Matt Dravitzki
Hi Guys, I just returned from vacation in Mexico, and had a pleasant surprise waiting for me in my hotel bathroom: Malin + Goetz products! I was staying at Condessa DF; my husband is a tour manager for bands, and this is the music industry's hotel of choice when staying in Mexico City. It made me feel right at home: looked just like my apartment bathroom in Brooklyn! Best, Jessica Ann Graves Gonzalez
Thank you! We love your products. Wendy Rice
Hi Amanda, I received my order today and your great personal handwritten note. I wish I knew who your boss is, because I would send them a complimentary e-mail on your level of customer service. It goes a long way when people are so rushed today & most retailers just want to get orders. Your attention to orders makes me further believe in your company (aside from the great products!) I handle US Bank's real estate department and in this day & age, everyone is preaching customer service, but you delivered! You deserve a raise! Thanks again, Julie Schmidt
Thank you very much. I have been using the face wash and moisturizer samples since my last shipment and I am so happy with the results. I think this is the first time that my face is actually looking more clear than red in the past six years. I am so thrilled to have finally found products that work for my sensitive/rosacea skin! Thank you for creating such amazing products! Robin Morgan
Hi, My sister has been using your grapefruit face cleanser for several months and swears by it. Her face looks better than I have ever seen it. I recently got a sample of it from Kuhl-Linscomb in Houston so I could try it out. So far I love it. I am currently living in Austin so I was so excited to see that several places carry your line. Thanks for your help. Brooke, Austin, TX
Hi, my husband and I stayed at 21C in Louisville this past fall. I loved the Malin + Goetz bar soaps they provide. Thank you for your consideration. Tara Dill
Hi! I may have just placed an order twice, not certain. I tried to order the face lotion and face serum, pushed submit. Hoping you can shed light. Oh, and by the way, love your products! Thank you, Anna Sinton, Personal Shopper, www.AnnabelleSays.com
Hi Matthew, Just a quick note to let you know that I have really been enjoying your products. Especially, the face serum and eye cream are fantastic. The serum is addictive and it really puts a healthy shine to your face, and people have noticed. I also like the Vitamin E lotion. I think a pump would be better way to work with the lotion. It also makes it easier to travel with. Just some constructive feedback from a pleased customer. Thanks much, Arjan
Matthew, Thanks for the reply. I love your products,bought several items over Dec. and I'm hooked after years of Kiehls, Sharps, Anthonys and Art of Shaving. I'm in the process of converting all my products to M&G. I'm also looking forward to visiting your shop on my next trip to NY. Lastly, make a deodorant. Thanks and keep up the good work. Best Regards, Tony Lupino
Hey there malin + goetz, love, love, love your lip moisturizer. my puggle (please see Jody's puggle on our "product hounds" link) loves to get a bath with the peppermint hair shampoo and then the cilantro hair conditioner (he tries to eat it!) thanx! jody
Hello! I just wanted to send a compliment to your company and its products! I used to be pretty stuck in my ways as far as skincare and cosmetics went. Since having my first baby recently at 27, I've found everything about myself changing so I decided to make changes with my makeup and skincare, as well. So far I've tried your grapefruit face cleanser and vitamin e facial moisturizer and am thoroughly impressed! I've even recommended your products to a couple co-workers and I know they've purchased items! I look forward to trying out more of your products because I'm now a HUGE fan! Sincerely, Celeste Liesenfeld
Matthew, Thank you very much for your quick reply, and willingness to send me some samples. I'm very impressed that within 24 hours of my email I received a reply from both you, and your partner, the owners of your fantastic company. That is customer, and personal service that surely is not widely available. It makes me even happier to purchase your products. I've been using the face wash, and moisturizer for a little over a month now and my skin has never looked, or felt healthier. I couldn't be any happier. I look forward to trying your hair products once the samples arrive, and I'm sure if they're nearly as good as the face products, I'll be purchasing them as well. I hope you, and your family enjoy a wonderful holiday season, Joey
Hi -- I love your product, packaging and the website is great--do you offer gift certificates? and if i were to order something online--is it possible to arrange pick up in the store ? (Yes, and, yes!) many thanks, Michelle
Hello, I have used your product through sampling at Soho Grand in New York and love it. Is there anywhere I can buy your products in Australia? (yes, we sell exclusively in Australia at Mecca Cosmetica. Locations are on our site under "find us.")
Regards, nicole lennox gray
Matthew, Thank you for rushing my order out. By the way, I am a very loyal fan of your products and really appreciate the travel size bottles of Face Cleanser that you included in my shipment. These fit the 3 oz. or less guidelines for carry-on toiletries and are perfect for using in the lounge following 15 hour flights to Asia. Best, Timothy Donovan
Hi guys - First off, love your company and products. As a person with chronically sensitive skin, your commitment to simple products, based on natural ingredients and with no artificial fragrances, is refreshing. Your products are simply a pleasure to use. Regards, Kristopher
Hi Malin (?) I'm not even sure if that's your first name or last name. I just came from your Chelsea store today where you sold me your facial skin care line. Just wanted to drop a note and tell you that I'm lovin the products. They're great. Thanks again for talking me into it. =) I love the products I bought! Talk to you soon, Renee
P.S. - Hi to Goetz, Junior, and Bob...cute.
hi: we dropped by your store yesterday and was chatting to you (i'm the guy from dublin, i was with my friend from bangkok), and you gave me a sample of shave cream. i tried it this morning, and it worked great, very smooth shave. whilst i do like to use a brush and some old-fashioned english soaps and a brush (the ritual is nice...), i will certainly add your cream to my rotation. so, thanks, glad i tried it! nice web site, by the way. i work in interactive marketing at IBM, so always happy to poke around at web sites! overall your brand is very appealing, from the packaging through to the product itself.
mark d smith
I just had to write to let you know that I received my shipment containing the new sage hair cream. The product is wonderful!!!!!!! But I'm not surprised as all of your products are of the highest quality. Keep it up!!!!!!!!!! Paul Swartz
Hi there,
Having just come back from the Condesa df in Mexico City where I used your range of skin products, I would like to get hold of them. I tried ordering through your website but found you do not ship internationally. I went to the closest retailer in Melbourne, but they dont seem to offer the full product range...and I need some of the products that Mecca Cosmetica doesnt have. What is a girl to do!!!
I was just in LA yesterday but didnt know where to start to find your products. Now after research I do...but am too far away to purchase. Do you have some advice!!! As I am in New Zealand, I can only order online. I await some helpful advice. (we can always ship email and phone orders!)
Kind regards,
Mary Davenport

What a coincidence.
Just as the Alaska State Legislature allocates $2 million for a conference promoting climate change deniers' "expert" analysis of why polar bears aren't really endangered, a poster boy for polar bear junk science emerges from the woodwork.
Enter J. Scott Armstrong, who is a marketing professor at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. His research emphasizes forecasting methods, which he has used as the cornerstone for - you guessed it - claims that the IPCC climate change projections are actually all wrong.
Now he's extended his "forecasts" to say that polar bears are doing just fine. He alluded to his research when Sen. James Inhofe called him as an "expert" to testify before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee regarding the proposed endangered status of the polar bear; now, Armstrong has released an official statement advertising his paper.
Here's the link (warning, slow website):
Professor J. Scott Armstrong of the Wharton School says, "To list a species that is currently in good health as an endangered species requires valid forecasts that its population would decline to levels that threaten its viability. In fact, the polar bear populations have been increasing rapidly in recent decades due to hunting restrictions. Assuming these restrictions remain, the most appropriate forecast is to assume that the upward trend would continue for a few years, then level off.
Prof. Armstrong and colleagues originally undertook their audit at the request of the State of Alaska. The subsequent study, "Polar Bear Population Forecasts: A Public Policy Forecasting Audit," is by Prof. Armstrong, Kesten G. Green of Monash University in Australia, and Willie Soon of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. It is scheduled to appear in the September/October issue of the INFORMS journal Interfaces.
Armstrong's claims regarding the increasing polar bear population have been debunked again and again (which doesn't stop Inhofe and others from repeating the claims, of course).
Also, those who are familiar with climate change deniers will recognize Willie Soon 's name. He's one of the true believers that solar activity causes global warming, which has also been repeatedly debunked (quite conclusively , in fact).
Click here (pdf) to read the paper.
My forecast is that it will be quoted over and over again throughout the deniersphere.
As the saying goes, "if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with..," well, you know the saying.

You couldn't make this up
Mort Sahl said satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize. Now, maybe, satire is extinct. I mean, who could invent this? A marketing professor, of all things, being presented as a climate expert and wildlife biologist?
Hilarious, isn't it?
The trouble is that these people are making the decisions that will affect everything.
I know that it is terribly shallow of me, but I just have to ask: why are all of these guys so woefully lame in the facial hair department? Do they really not know how awful that stuff looks? (reference to Avery)
Shallow reference to personal appearance aside, the very idea that a marketing expert could comment in any meaningful way about the plight of the polar bear and be taken seriously about it in the face of research by qualified and published experts on arctic matters defies any standard of credibility. WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE THINKING?

I am familiar with the Dunning-Kruger effect, Brian, and you are right – it explains a lot. There's a lot to be said for knowing one's own limitations. I think some of these guys would actually attempt DIY brain surgery!

Uh, no. The decisions are made by our elected representatives. A tough concept for radical greens to understand but true nonetheless.
The point of the article
is that the Alaska State Legislature has allocated $2 million for a conference promoting climate change deniers' "expert" analysis of why polar bears aren't really endangered.
I think the Alaska State Legislature qualifies as elected representatives.

Please take the time to read the studies abstract, only one of the nine papers supporting the polar bears being listed even came close to qualifying as using scientific methods.

What does that matter, Ray?
What does that matter, Ray? My mind is made up. If you are still examining 'evidence'you are way behind the times. This is beyond science now.

Oops sorry, I woke up this
Oops sorry, I woke up this morning to a fine looking spring day, a little cool for this time of year but fine regardless, birds were busy building nests, buds just starting to open on the trees I have planted over the years, everything vibrant and healthy….a fine looking day! Then remembered I am the scourge of the earth and felt guilty for being born.
Anybody hear of Nick Lunn?
Clearly some commenting here haven't ("it's way beyond science now" - certainly in some people's minds it is - but not for whom the commenter implied.)
Anyone ever try doing science or talking to a real scientists in the field about any of these issues? It's funny how the conversation changes when it isn't framed in a political diatribe.
In any case, last February when I was up the Churchill Northern Studies Centre along the coast of Hudson Bay I had the opportunity to meet Biologist and one of the leading Canadian polar bear experts. I was there to help collect data for a scientific project monitoring environmental changes along the subarctic/arctic zone.
My group had left and I stayed behind a day or so to clean up some of the lab work. Nick had just shown up to carry out some of his ongoing work monitoring the Hudson Bay bear population, one of 13 polar bear populations in the world, and we ended up after dinner one night discussing polar bear and many other environmental issues.
I posted about the conversation on my blog so I won't rewrite the entire exchange here. If you're interested, here's the link:

Malice in Wonderland
It sure looks like 'a done deal' [Jeb Bush's own words], or a stitch-up - just like when Jeb. Bush promised Florida to his Bro on camera. And Dubya was sitting next to him, just grinned. That's why they sing "Hail to the Thief", when George Dubya appears.
In the best (or worst) traditions of blatant chicanery, the Alaska State Legislature are just scouting-around for any pseudo-evidence that they can use to put some phoney gloss of research on the process and justify what has been long already decided. Isn't this all just too reminiscent of the bizarre courtroom logic ['Sentence first - verdict afterwards.'] in Lewis Carrolls "Alice in Wonderland".
Hey, isn't that exactly what the Heartland Institute, Hudson Institute, CEI, Tech Central, etc., etc. do? So now we know where they got the idea!

AK resources ... not exactly
A few days ago, I posted the following on the Anchorage Daily news story on this. No answer/comments so far.
Maybe Alaskans can help out a puzzled Californian.
In Fiscal 2000 (last year I have), from
I find that AK sent $4.4B to the Federal Government, and got $6.2B back, or $1.8B extra, a return of 142%. AK and CA had similar (above average) per capita incomes in 2000, and most states that have returns >100% are below-average in income.
CA sent $253B and got $190B back, or -$63B, a return of 75%. The -$63B was the largest, although ~10 states had even lower return percentages. The total of contributing states was $363B, i.e., CA provided about 1/6, which means that some amount of CA taxes went to AK … and since money is fungible, part of it would help pay for this study, if it happens.
Can someone from AK explain to me why all this should make any sense? And why it should continue?
I might be convinceable that there are sensible reasons why AK should be a net recipient of Federal funds, but if they spend them *this* way, I will be writing letters to several US Senators & the Speaker of the House, all of whom live within 50 miles of here and ask why CA money gets used for this.
Check your state out in balance of payments and consider doing the same, especially if you're in one of the states that puts more money in than it gets back.
Michael replied on Permalink
Alaska gets more money
Alaska gets more money because it's better than California. We have better scenery, more wildlife, looong summer days, smoked slamon, the world's baddest fishermen, and a hottie for a governor.
California has some nice scenery, scarce (and tamer) wildlife, smoggy summer days, tract homes, gay parents, and Ahnold for governor.
You get what you pay for.
don't forget
Willie Soon is already a polar bear expert, having written, with others like David Legates and Sallie Baliunas, a "viewpoint" (non-peer reviewed) published in "Ecological complexity" last year.
That paper, quoted by the Alaskan Governor in the submission on the polar bear listing, said that of course global warming wasn't happening and that polar bears were more threatened by tourism.
It has been soundly countered by the polar bear experts, but interestingly, is a reference in this latest paper.
Willie Soon, in that paper, acknowledges with gratitude the grant he got from ExxonMobil to complete it.

Successful projects depend on how well the team works together. Elements that lead to success include commitment, contribution, good communication, and cooperation. Cooperation itself includes factors such as follow-through, timeliness, and others. Conflict management and change management are also important. This article analyzes and explains all of these elements that constitute a productive and successful team.
Fostering teamwork is a top priority for many leaders. The benefits are clear: increased
productivity, improved customer service, more flexible systems, employee empowerment. But is the vision clear? To effectively implement teams, leaders need a clear picture of the seven elements high-performance teams have in common.
Commitment to the purpose and values of an organization provides a clear sense of direction.
Team members understand how their work fits into corporate objectives and they agree that their team's goals are achievable and aligned with corporate mission and values. Commitment is the foundation for synergy in groups. Individuals are willing to put aside personal needs for the benefit of the work team or the company. When there is a meeting of the minds on the big picture, this shared purpose provides a backdrop against which all team decisions can be viewed. Goals are developed with corporate priorities in mind. Team ground rules are set with consideration for both company and individual values. When conflict arises, the team uses alignment with purpose, values, and goals as important criteria for acceptable solutions.
To enhance team commitment, leaders might consider inviting each work team to develop team mission, vision, and values statements that are in alignment with those of the corporation but reflect the individuality of each team. These statements should be visible and "walked" every day. Once a shared purpose is agreed upon, each team can develop goals and measures, focus on continuous improvement, and celebrate team success at important milestones. The time spent up front getting all team members on the same track will greatly reduce the number of derailments or emergency rerouting later.
The power of an effective team is in direct proportion to the skills members possess and the initiative members expend. Work teams need people who have strong technical and
interpersonal skills and are willing to learn. Teams also need self-leaders who take
responsibility for getting things done. But if a few team members shoulder most of the
burden, the team runs the risk of member burnout, or worse-member turn-off.
To enhance balanced participation on a work team, leaders should consider three factors that affect the level of individual contribution: inclusion, confidence, and empowerment. The more individuals feel like part of a team, the more they contribute; and the more members contribute, the more they feel like part of the team. To enhance feelings of inclusion, leaders need to keep work team members informed, solicit their input, and support an atmosphere of collegiality. If employees are not offering suggestions at meetings, invite them to do so. If team members miss meetings, let them know they were missed. When ideas-even wild ideas-are offered, show appreciation for the initiative.
Confidence in self and team affects the amount of energy a team member invests in an
endeavor. If it appears that the investment of hard work is likely to end in success,
employees are more likely to contribute. If, on the other hand, success seems unlikely,
investment of energy will wane. To breed confidence on a work team, leaders can highlight the talent, experience, and accomplishments represented on the team, as well as keep past team successes visible. The confidence of team members can be bolstered by providing feedback, coaching, assessment, and professional development opportunities.
Another way to balance contribution on a work team is to enhance employee empowerment. When workers are involved in decisions, given the right training, and respected for their experience, they feel enabled and invest more. It is also important to have team members evaluate how well they support the contribution of others.

"I love these cards! I can't wait to send them out. The color (black and white) are crisp and bold, my only complaint is I wish the paper quality was a little thicker."

Oh! Memes Galore!!!!! Enough already with Schrodinger's Cat!!!! This is the 4th or 5th reference in the past 2 years!!!! It's also the 365th cat shirt in the past 2 years! Every other day it's a $&@% cat shirt and every season there's a new Schrodinger's Cat shirt! Come on. Let's remake Robocop while we're at it. Oh wait, errrrrrrr!
LOL a cat in a box in a bag...
And it's tri-lingual. That should make EVERYBODY HAPPY!
(unless you don't like cats, boxes, bags, English, French or German.)
Mais oui! C'est magnifique.
Cat. Box. Chat. Boîte. At least in French, it might be something Dr. Seuss had written a book about it. Or a cabaret he visited.
At least the cat isn't on the chair.
There should be more cat shirts!
spilzer wrote:At least the cat isn't on the chair.
Pure cake ; )
Cats, cats, everywhere;
and all in bags and there ilk
Cats, Cats, everywhere,
not a drop of milk.
I really like this one!
This. Is. Amazing. Nerdy and artsy and just plain awesome.
I want the tote bag so much except I'm so broke. This is the kind of design I'd like to see in a Woot poster special. Some day later when I'm not broke. Hint, hint, hint.
safyrejet wrote:I want [..] a [...] poster [...].
Moi aussi, mon ami. Moi aussi ...
If a box of adequate size is in the house, there's little doubt a cat is inside, particularly with all the racket.
Will Woot be mailing these in a box, instead of bag ? It only makes sense.
Especially since then my cats will get a free box toy w/ purchase. I just won't close them inside of it.
The French grammar on "de Erwin" is bugging me. Should be "d'Erwin" I think. I hate to be that person but I'm pretty sure it's like saying "an cat."
But the artwork is beautiful and there are so few designs that combine French and science!
If you make this a poster, I GUARANTEE I will buy one. Especially if it's a large size poster like you often see of the ones it's parodying.
Quelle dommage!
I was hoping the T-shirt had a picture of the "le chat" shopping bag on it.
And the box is in a WordPress theme universe.
"KABOOM" indeed
Consider ourselves blowed up;
in a little snow globe
filled with cat imaginations....
I also would love to get this as a poster.
I'm in a quantum physics class right now.
My brain hurts.
ceagee wrote:Will Woot be mailing these in a box, instead of bag?
Yes, and for added authenticity there's a 50% chance that they forget to put anything in it. ;)
any zip totes in the ( near) future?
Is it a sign that the internet runs our lives too much that when I saw the shirt title what I expected to see was Maru rather than Schrödinger?
Ze only French I know is "chevrolet coupe"....haw, haw, haw my leetle frans.
I'm waiting for the day when B...O...C stands for Box of Cats.
"Order your very own box of random cats!"
Schrodinger's cat is my favorite feline...
...because it might be dead.
mon crayon est large et jaune.
mi lapiz es grande y amarillo.
i'm tapped out.
I would pay money dollar currency for this as a poster/print, ideally framed.
I love this design and I would buy the shirt but I have way too many black woot shirts.
Woot: If it's not too much trouble, would it be possible to offer designs that work on both White and Black shirts to offer us the option?
I know that you're stance is that everyone else offers white shirts, but there is a reason for that: People buy white shirts!!
This will likely fall on deaf ears as usual, but at least I tried...
I got bored & shaved the cat w/Occam's razor!
Why is this in French? It should be in German.
The design looks nice but the language choice is illogical.

The French is because of this:
I think this mash-up was truly inspired, btw. I love it.
For the love of Glub, no more Schrodingers cat shirts.

It's the fifth here at Woot. These are the previous four:

Okay, now that's a lie! ... and I know that because I only have 45 different catshirt designs.

text: I just read this article in salon.com: Canada says goodbye to the penny The article mentions that "Google is marking the passing of the penny with a dedicated doodle on its Canadian home page." Also that other nations have phased out the penny. I remember when country-specific Euro coins were released in 2002, and by the time I visited Helsinki in Fall 2003 on a trip to Estonia, one- and two-cent Euro coins were already being sold at a premium.

Title: Phi Beta Kappa charter, 1971
Primary Creator: Phi Beta Kappa
Extent: 1.0 Items. More info below.
Date Acquired: 08/27/2009
Subjects: Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Beta Kappa. Zeta of Indiana Chapter (Purdue University), Purdue University--Students
Forms of Material: Charters
Languages: English
Five students at the College of William and Mary founded Phi Beta Kappa in 1776, during the American Revolution. For over two and a quarter centuries, the Society has embraced the principles of freedom of inquiry and liberty of thought and expression. Laptops have replaced quill pens, but these ideas, symbolized on Phi Beta Kappa's distinctive gold key, still lay the foundations of personal freedom, scientific inquiry, liberty of conscience and creative endeavor.
Phi Beta Kappa celebrates and advocates excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. Its campus chapters invite for induction the most outstanding arts and sciences students at America's leading colleges and universities. The Society sponsors activities to advance these studies - the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences - in higher education and in society at large.
Only about 10 percent of the nation's institutions of higher learning have Phi Beta Kappa chapters. Only about 10 percent of the arts and sciences graduates of these distinguished institutions are selected for Phi Beta Kappa membership. The ideal Phi Beta Kappan has demonstrated intellectual integrity, tolerance for other views, and a broad range of academic interests. Each year, about one college senior in a hundred, nationwide, is invited to join Phi Beta Kappa. Membership in Phi Beta Kappa shows commitment to the liberal arts and sciences, and to freedom of inquiry and expression and it provides a competitive edge in the marketplace. Potential employers regularly contact the national office of Phi Beta Kappa to confirm the membership of job seekers who have listed Phi Beta Kappa among their credentials.
PhiBK are the Greek initials of the motto Love of learning is the guide of life.
The Purdue University chapter was established February 23, 1971. It was designated the Zeta of Indiana Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. The charter was signed by Rosemary Park, president and Carl Billman, secretary.

Using DynDNS or a similar service not only allows access to your home machine from outside without needing to know what IP the ISP has assigned to it but it also comes in handy if you want to know your external IP address. The only purpose of the sed command is to remove the leading "host.na.me has address " part from the output. If you don't need to discard it you can simply use
host $HOSTNAME
Gets the internal and external IP addresses of all your interfaces, or the ones given as arguments
The same as the other user, but smarter, using -d and -f
This one will work a little better, the regular expressions it is not 100% accurate for XML parsing but it will suffice any XML valid document for sure.
Calculates md5 sum of files. sort (required for uniq to work). uniq based on only the hash. use cut ro remove the hash from the result.
When you've got a list of numbers each on its row, the ECHO command puts them on a simple line, separated by space. You can then substitute the spaces with an operator. Finally, pipe it to the BC program.
Should work on all systems that use dpkg and APT package management.
If you use newsgroups then you'll have come across split files before. Joining together a whole batch of them can be a pain so this will do the whole folder in one.
Get the IP address of all your network cards.
to clean up the extra lines
another way to output the IP address' of the system
grep's -c outputs how may matches there are for a given file as "file:N", cut takes the N's and awk does the sum.
In Debian based distros, this command will list 'binutils' package details which contains 'nm' command. You can replace 'nm' to any other command.
Skype has an internal regex which depicts the emoticons it supports. However you cannot simply search the binary file for it. This small 181 character line will do just that, provided skype is running. And of course, only works in linux.
additionally use "find /etc/cron*" for cronscripts
This set of commands was very convenient for me when I was preparing some xml files for typesetting a book. I wanted to check what styles I had to prepare but coudn't remember all tags that I used. This one saved me from error-prone browsing of all my files. It should be also useful if one tries to process xml files with xsl, when using own xml application.
Here the pattern is '*.jar', you could pass in any pattern.
Another, maybe nicer way to do this is
You could replace sed with tr

I put them on the other night (ok I wanted to see how it looked) and noticed that one of them looks like it warped a little bit. Would taking a heat gun to the ear cap (making sure to not heat only one section) and then bending it work? Or would it not work at all.

SUFFIELD, CT -- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis strikes one or two out of 100,000 people every year worldwide. Known in North America as Lou Gehrig's disease, ALS usually develops in people between 40 and 60 years old. But it can occur in older and younger people, and men are affected slightly more than women.
Mike Pohorylo, 59, a vending operator from Connecticut, was diagnosed with ALS last year. Many people with this neurodegenerative disease eventually lose their ability to move and communicate. But Pohorylo's family, friends and vending industry colleagues are determined to help keep him on the move.
On Saturday, Feb. 4, they will gather for a fundraiser at the Jeanice H. Seaverns Performing Arts Center at Suffield Academy in Suffield, CT. The festivities begin at 5 p.m. and tickets are $25. Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door. Learn more about attending, making a donation or participating in the auction at FamilyandFriendsforMike.com or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
The event will help raise money to pay for necessities not covered by health insurance, including a specialized wheelchair, as well as a van equipped with hand controls, ramps and a lift. These essential aids will help keep the resolute vending operator on the route, doing the job he loves.
Pohorylo was the owner of Food-Pro LLC, a seven-route operation based in South Windsor, CT, until 2009. He also served on the board and as president of the Connecticut Vending Association, one of the supporters of Saturday night's affair. He is now an employee at Quality Vending (Bristol, CT), which acquired Food-Pro.
"Mike often volunteered time to help our industry, and he provided valuable testimony at the state Capitol on numerous occasions," said CVA president Eric Mueller of United Snack Group (Cheshire, CT). "Now Mike could use our help."
Michael Daddona of Automated Services (Milford, CT) appreciates his fellow vendor's passion. Daddona has contributed $500 to "Family and Friends for Mike" and is challenging industry members -- collectively or individually -- to match his gift.

Defending national champion Kentucky is coming to Tuscaloosa Tuesday, but Monday—being President Barack Obama's second inauguration and Martin Luther King Day—Alabama head coach Anthony Grant took time to pause and think about the great symbolic resonance of the two events coinciding on the same day.
"I certainly had a chance to watch the inauguration personally myself," Grant said. "I watched President Obama's speech and from a historical standpoint in relation to it being Martin Luther King Day, for me, obviously it's kind of nostalgic because of what he talked about in his speech and the history of our state in the South in terms of it being 50 years since Civil Rights Movement."
When President Obama took the oath of office earlier Monday, he used two Bibles—one that was owned by Abraham Lincoln and another that belonged to Dr. King. He was also facing the Lincoln Memorial, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech 50 years ago.
Alabama, of course, played a crucial role in King's emergence as a prominent leader of the American civil rights movement. The Montgomery Bus Boycott, in which African Americans refused to ride city buses in Montgomery, Ala. to protest segregated seating from Dec. 5, 1955 to Dec. 20, 1956, is regarded as the first large-scale demonstration against segregation.
On Dec. 1, four days before the boycott started, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery bus. She was then arrested and fined. The boycott began the day of Parks' court hearing and lasted 381 days. King was one of the leaders of the movement.
"Our focus has been on Kentucky [this week] and trying to win the next game, but at the same time I think you've gotta pay attention to the significance of [today]," said senior guard Andrew Steele, a Birmingham native. "And as far as our history as a country, especially being here in the south and in terms of our community, it's really a historical thing to have [the inauguration] on Martin Luther King Day and I think it makes it a little more special."
This is only the second time in history that the inauguration has fallen on Martin Luther King Day.
"I think you look at all that, but I think for our players, we're focused on the opportunity we have tomorrow with Kentucky coming in," Grant said.

text: I don't get Universal from Comcast. Where I lived before, I didn't get Universal from Time Warner. In the US, that's most of the country. This year, unless you receive them, you cannot buy streams from their website. After a second reading of Ice Network's schedule I noticed that except for Skate America, you have to wait 7 days to see the VOD, no streaming for the Grand Prix events. Is anyone besides me outraged? I emailed Ice Network and just as I suspected Universal will not sell streaming rights to them this year. I have emailed USFSA and Comcast as well. Is everyone going to stay silent while we let a season slip by without access to these events? If I posted this in the wrong place, sorry.

JimBeeHappyYou may not need a side by side to compare, if this was your only. With experience you know how much the avg hive at your home brings in. If this set up does not produce more than twice the amount of two seperate hives then it's not worth the trouble. But that said, you really need more than just this setup in your apiary, for emergencies.
JimSo if you use the Snellgroove broad do you have it so the bees bringing in honey can not go down to the queen areas or do you keep both the top and bottom entrances on the Snell open at the same time?
If this set up does not produce more than twice the amount of two seperate hives then it's not worth the trouble.
I would think that if the numbers were that good the commercial beeks would use nothing but this system.
How do you come up with that conclusion from the quote you gave?
Why do you infer 'if the commercial guys don't do it it's not worth doing'?
Did I misread the quoted phrase?
If you can get twice as much honey using one method vs. another....?
I'm probably re-asking a question, but does it measurably increase production over 2 separate hives. (I can imagine how it would create full supers faster, but I'm talking overall net increase)
Do you really think Armucheebee meant:If 1-hive .........................................produces 150lbs2-separate hives ..............................produce 300lbs totalthen a 2-queen tower hive needs to ....produce 600+lbsor it isn't worth it?
I would bet the commercial keepers would not want to fool with the maintainence and transport of a two-queen hives--is that right?
Commercial Beekeepers do not have the TIME fool with or maintainence two-queen hives.

Woodstock. The pinnacle of filthy revelers and awesome music, being poorly imitated to this day everywhere from Sasquatch to Coachella. But the most important part was the music. Set your kids off in Hendrix's footsteps by starting them young, and letting them grow their afros as big as they like.

We'll ask!
The holidays seem to be a great time for breaking out the musical instruments - what do you all think of that guitar?
The gathering drum looks like fun!
Five-star reviews on Amazon, and only $86.63
I have the Chimalong XR. As a musician, I chose it for my kids because it's got a really gorgeous tone, as opposed to most of the unpleasant or unpitched sounds marketed as "musical instruments" for the small crowd. Woodstock makes high-end wind chimes, and this is basically a bunch of wind chime tubes that you can play with mallets. The sound is resonant and pure. Their customer service is great too; I got picky about some kind of imperfection creating a slight "wow-wow" in the pitch of the lowest tube; I talked to a real person and they mailed me a new one.
Their own demo video has such bad audio that you can't get a good sense of the tone (http://youtu.be/pLmj9ZHqH3A), but this action shot is better: http://youtu.be/Lgp9IfDfHbg

That's a huge drum! Gather all ye babies!
They are made in China.
Found some mixed reviews of the individual components:
Mini Chimalong
We don't have the Remo Gathering Drum, but we have the Remo Djembe from the same series and my son, three years old, loves it. It's very well made and sounds surprisingly good. This big drum is tempting.
The occupational therapist (for children) at Kaiser has the gathering drum. It's a high quality drum and it really sounds fantastic. My daughter didn't really care to drum on it, but I sure did! Totally sounds like something headhunters would be playing as they're lighting the fire below the spit that you're tied to. I seriously want it. Don't think I'll be able to talk my wife into getting it, though, especially since she bought me a snare cajon drum for Christmas. Honestly, though, that gathering drum has been on my mind for the past couple of years. I actually just thought about it this past week, even. Maybe, I can convince my wife that it'll be good for our daughter.
I found this drum cheaper on eBay, by the way, AND with free shipping. And even cheaper than that at American Music Supply (also with free shipping): http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-REM-KD582201-LIST?src=Y0802G00SRCHCAPN&gclid=CJSH_87tqrQCFcN_Qgod2zAA6g
Also, the picture may be wrong for this drum. It looks like the 22" has a scalloped bottom side, as seen here on Amazon (for $86 and change, no less...): http://www.amazon.com/Remo-Kids-Gathering-Drum-KD-5822-01/dp/B00000IS02/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356070965&sr=8-1&keywords=remo+gathering+drum
The picture here might be for the 16" version, or perhaps an older version? The ones on ebay for $94.99 show the scalloped bottom, but the one for $92.99 shows the bottom like Woots and it has the same part number as the scalloped ones.
My son played with almost all of these at his 2 y/o music classes at Gymboree. They all sounded quite nice (drums & chimes particularly). They also get major durability points for surviving countless toddlers jamming away. Good buy.
The "View this product video to see a demo" links all seem to point to a lightsaber flashlight battle.

Whoops, see what you mean on the Lollipop drum and guitar. I've reported that for a fix. (Update: They're fixed)
The highlights for us would be the ukulele, acordion and the chimes. But over the years I have learned that even preschoolers can tell a cheap instrument from a good one - if you have the money consider going up one notch in quality. Maybe only buy one good instument than a box full of toys. Our preschooler has a blast with her large chime - it is one of the larger ones that this company makes.
