Really boosts the immune system
5630411448834443711发表于 12月 18, 2012 | 已验证购买
So far this winter I have NOT been sick! Which is pretty revolutionary, I usually pass through winter with a constant cough and cold. My immune system has always been weak, but this really seems to help it :) The blending bottle is being shaken every day, and I still can't see a scratch on it! Very happy with this purchase :)

A friend of mine swore by these. I though she may have gotten a job with the company. Turns out she has made a believer out of more than a few people. I have been into health foods, vitamins and supplements for a long time. I don't get excited as easily as I used to. However this is a well made formula. It has helped my family and I get over some really bad coughs this year. There is definitely something to it. . . . . You can find other products I use on my Page!

Absorbable vitmani C
OrganicReviews99发表于 1月 16, 2012 | 已验证购买
... that's all I have to say. I still use different types just to make sure. sodium ascorbate, camu camu, megafoods vitamin c (from oranges), and madre labs. This way I know that SOMETHING will be absorbed. they're all high quality, they are almost all food based... so they have the highest likelihood to be absorbed. Google dr klenner vitamin c... he's an old school doctor that used crazy high doses of vitamin c to cure all kinds of diseases. Up to 300,000mg at one time. Yes you read that right, 300,000mg that's 300 grams! He was a wonderful, inspiring individual.
Best C, not sure for Immune booster.
Reviewer1192144发表于 8月 03, 2012 | 已验证购买
C-vitamin is absolutely the best i've ever used. It could obviously be cheaper but nothing else to blame. When i mix a scoop to my megasmoothie and drink it along the day my energy levels stay high. When i take a scoop before playing soccer i feel tireless on the field. When i take a scoop at the evening i wake up very fresh. Immune booster tastes very good with chaga tea. I have not been ill (if my psoriasis does not count) for few years so i am not sure about immunial affects. All I can say is that it has not made my p go away.

Newbie From Kapuskasing N. Ontario
January 29, 2011, 02:13:08 AM »
I live in Northern Ontario and in 2005 I bought a farm with about 50 acres of land. a lot of it is wooded and I hope sometime soon to be able to clear cut some more space to add more animals. The plan when I bought this place was to turn it back in a working farm, not for the public, but for myself and my family in order to maintain better means of living, self sufficiency, and raising our own food. We weren't quite sure where we wanted to start and when we would get around to it. with three children and both my husband and I working we knew it would present some challenges. However after my husband began going on the road for work with his construction company I found myself sitting at home doing "much ado about nothing" After 6 months of research, turning the 2 1/2 detached car garage that we never used into a working barn, I built an in barn coop from recycled materials and got myself 21 beautiful Rhode Island reds that as of now give me 21 fresh eggs every single morning.
I knew 2 years ago I wanted to have my own backyard bees, but I have been searching starter kits etc and I find the prices are quite high, and I have been having a hard time locating a place to buy bees from. the topic of raising bees has been falling on my lap every couple weeks since I first thought about it. I found the subject quite overwhelming,not really knowing where to start and what to get until I watched a nature program a few sundays ago on an asian Bee master, it showed how he built his hives and how he got his wild bees.
then tonight I did some research and found this website and Bushkillfarms.com I watched a couple videos and I immediately felt more at ease and knowing this is something I can do. I guess the literature at first is very intimidating, but with a bit more research and the more I find out I see that I do not have to make things so difficult for myself.
Frankly, before I embark full fledge into this hobby I need to know more, nothing would bother me more than a bunch of dead honey bees because I decided to take this on without the proper knowledge.
So yes, I do not have bees yet, but I plan on sticking around and learning as much as I can before I decide to do this.
thanks for having me,

Hello Ema from Kapuskasing,
I've been up there are few times cold testing car engines. Unfortunately I've never been there in the summer time though. There are lots of things you can learn from this site. There are also plenty of good bee books you can get from the Library, Amazon, or even download for free from Google. The old bee books that are out of copyright can be downloaded in full from Google for free. You can read the works of the fathers (and wives) of bee keeping written by the likes of Dadant, CC Miller, Doolittle, Langstroth, and many more. The basics haven't really changed that much since those guys wrote about it 100 years ago. Those old books are also very fascinating to read if you enjoy a little history too.
This forum is great too. The only problem is everybody does things a little differently and often strongly opinionated about their ways. It makes it more difficult for a new comer to really figure out which advice to take. The good news is the bees are fairly forgiving! I've done some dumb things times at times and yet the bees survive. So you don't have to be perfect to start. Your biggest challenge will probably be wintering them up there. There are plenty of options for doing that; they are regularly discussed on this forum.
I would encourage you to start with 2 hives if at all possible. If one dies for whatever reason, you can do a split from your remaining hive to get up to 2 without having to buy more bees. Forum user "Trot" from Sudbury, ON mentioned an option worth considering too. He says you might find you can buy an entire hive from a local BK for a reasonable price compared to buying packages or nucs. From a full hive you would have more options for splits and expanding your yard going into winter.
Good luck

Wecome, Ema!
If you are anything like the rest of us, you'll soon be attending meetings with the opening phrase of "Hello, my name is Ema, and I'm a beekeeper." Yes, it can be very addicting, and expensive if you let it. You will find lots of information here, some of which may work for you, some won't. With you unique local environment, not all solutions will work, but have fun anyway. For example, some people treat with chemicals, some don't. Feel free to ask for help and opinions, but be prepared for a variety of answers. Ask 50 beekeepers the same question, and you may get 50 different answers. You're job will be to figure out what works for you.

Well I got in touch with a few people from the Ontario Beekeepers association, now waiting on a reply.
thank you for the warm welcomes, I am still navigating through this forum. lol....I am sure there is tons of useful topics to read up on where I am sure I will spend endless hours reading only to look up and realize it has gotten late and I didn't even make dinner....happened the other day to be honest...lol....
Robo, my husband and I really enjoyed your videos, wish the rest were there too, very informative and helpful. Specially if you are first learning.
so looking forward to learning what I can from this forum and sharing my experiences.
I too was thinking that starting with 2 would be good, we will see as time passes and I learn more and decide what my preferences are how and when I will do this.
I know one thing for sure, I want them as natural as they can be. for several years I have been seeding around the boundaries of the property with wildflowers and different grass seeds etc, I like the birds and insects the wildflowers bring. I do not know what using chemicals or not using them means, I guess I will certainly find that out soon enough. I have never used a pesticide in my life and allow everything to be as wild as possible. But I am not opposed to medicating if my livestock or bees in this case were to be sick. Which I do not even know if that is even possible. Another thing I will soon find out :-)
Well time for me to get the kiddos in bed.

Hi Ema,
Not sure exactly how far you are from Sudbury, but I take nucs up there every season. I am
Let me know and I can add a few nucs to go up there for you.

hi there, thanks for your warm welcome, I did check out your website. looks great and prices look good too :0)
Kapuskasing is about 6 1/2 hours north of Sudbury. I am not sure if you ever come up around here or not. I am not keen on cities so I tend to stay out of them, though I was in sudbury this summer and its a beautiful city for sure. I look forward to educating myself more and then getting started.

Hi Emma. There is LOTS of information out there. Check out the Brushy Mountain Webinars and you MUST watch some of JP's removal videos (look on the bee removal section of the forum). JP's videos are informative AND entertaining. :-D (Hey, JP, do I get points for the plug!?)
You can build your own hives and even frames (But they are cheap enough that most don't bother) if you have more time than money right now. I have certainly been there, done that. There are lots of plans you can download out there. You can use screws on corners instead of box joints, they won't last as long, but will get you started if box-joints are too intimidating. Check out some of the other forums too. Go to you local lumber yard and check out some prices. Write them down in a little notebook for reference. Hit a few farm auctions - you can pick up scrap lumber really cheap, because the sizes you can use for hives are smaller than most people want. Just be careful you are not getting chemically treated lumber, and that you don't get the bidding fever and end up paying more than you would at the lumber yard! (Thus the little notebook.)

thanks for the tips...my husband and I recycle as much as we can. therefore we have a ton of lumber laying about, and in good condition. I still haven't found a place here to buy full hives from. I found places to buy the queens and nucs from though, so I am thinking I might venture into building the hives, my husband is pretty good at the carpentry stuff anyhow. If I can find a place for hives I will go with pre-fab if not then a building we will go :-)

Welcome Ema! Keep us informed of your trials/tribulations :)
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Well the post saying that beekeeping can be about as simple or as complicated as you make it is certainly accurate.
I have made both my Langstrom Hives and Top Bar hives by hand. I always purchase the frames and foundation.
I have made my own queen rearing kit as well. I might even post some pictures after the forum opens up for me.

Hi Emma,
I too am new, (from west of Ottawa) except I took the plunge and have now just started up 2 hives. It turns out my nucs came from Todd.....a previous poster. I will be looking to make contact with a knowledgeable beekeeper on email so I can ask questions daily as my experience grows!
I joined the local beekeeping club expecting it to be a support/discussion group but it seems more like a classroom style, where we meet 4 times each year with a full presentation each meeting. It looks like this forum will be my answer source going forward.

Hi, I've been very interested in non-dualism of late, and after reading up on it and thinking about it, I've come to one or two conclusions which I'd like to offer up for opinion and discussion.
My thinking goes along these lines: Our thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas, language, labels and indeed anything relating to the world that originates in the mind are not really the world itself, but rather artificial representations of it. In order to experience the world (reality) directly, we have to abandon all our conceptualisations and learn to just 'be'. When we do this, we begin to realise that the way we seperate one thing from another is our mental conceptualising & labelling and that in truth, nothing is really seperate from anything else. In fact, when you dig deep, you can see that everything is made from subatomic particles including ourselves and that because of this, we are not seperate from the world either, but are intrinsic to it. So, because of this, when I do something, such as bow to a statue of Buddha, I realise that rather than bowing to Buddha, I am bowing to the sum total of reality, and by extension, myself and indeed all of you. It is the world bowing to itelf. This being so, any action taken in this world can be likened to sand moving amongst sand. You could argue that nothing really happens at all, because the sand looks just the same as it did prior to the movement. But then there is the question of what constitutes the motive force that drives the movement of sand within sand? (What causes my body to perform a bow, make a cup of tea, or do anything)? And then I realise that this is simply the interplay of energy and matter in a cause and effect relationship, where the driving energy behind it all all originates from the big bang, so that every movement that takes place is simply the universe cooling down (entropy) with localised pockets of order.
Now, I know this is quite a rapid train of thought jumping from conclusion to conclusion, but what do you think? Am I completely off the mark?

I have a glock 22 I keep in the bed room for protection Is it worth the expense of triger job?
I have a G-19 that I bought used and I see no need of a trigger job on it. I been practicing the reset on it and I am getting a little better with it.:smt033
No, not for the guns intended purpose. I have a Glock 34 and a Glock 19 with modified triggers. I only use them on the range. The two Glock 26 models are used for home defense and concealed carry---night sights are the only modification.
I think it's wise not to modify the trigger on a gun used for home defense. Should you ever have to use that weapon for home defense a good prosecuting attorney can very easily make you look like a gun-crazed trigger happy rambo who dreams of ways to make his pistols more deadly.
Learn your preferred pistol of choice. Besides-----you could do your own trigger job on the Glock if so inclined. I'll agree with the previous posts.
I did a striker spring replacement on my Glocks when I had them and I thought it did a worked of good. Outside of that I wouldn't want to do anything more to them. Wolff springs for a Glock are cheap and for me made a huge difference.
Target shooting, yes. Defensive gun, no.
Well.... okay, I want to add a Powder River kit to my carry gun, but only for reset and feel, not weight reduction.
im interested in removing the pre-travel and extra reset distance of my glock 26, I do not want to change the weight of the trigger pull. is this possible ?
I have a friend who agrees with the fact that trigger mods can make you look like you are looking to pull that trigger on someone.
People say annoying things like this all of the time. "A back up gun shows intent", "a high cap gun shows intent", "hollow points show intent" blah blah blah
A prosecutor that wants to prosecute will find stupid things to say to a jury. They will say that the reason you had a gun with you was because you wanted the chance to shoot someone. They will ask if you like movies like Rambo and the Punisher.
Live a quiet life. Obey the law. Get professional training. Make inteligent, legal choices on gun modifications. Maintain Tera Alta Virtuitis.
Be alive for a trial and not dead in a graveyard.
Im just going to paint my face like the joker and carry knives everywhere.

Before I die, I'm a leave the world
With something
To remember me by
The real stimuli
For you frontin'
Ass out rappers to capture
I rip the world apart like a natural disaster
I keep it live
Something born in 85
Through the love of my 3rd eye got me thinking
Maybe you and I should get together for whatever
You never in your long-legged life had it better
Uh you got it now
We be loungin', tical
"Word Son i like your style"
[Hook: Blue Raspberry]
[Break: Method Man, overlaps Hook]
I'm here for the stimuli
To get high and for doughnuts
Meth-Tical, it's 9-4, and it's raw, once more
The Wu-Tang saga continues
[Outro Hook: Method Man, overlaps Blue Raspberry's Hook]
Wu-Tang clan, forever
No we don't die we just multiply forever, and ever, and ever...

Personas (MIT project)
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  amusing social-software 3 Comments 9,189 Views
I tried the MIT Personas site just to see what it would come up for my name. Basically, it does a Web search for any name you give it and analyzes the text on a semantic level to find common themes or categories for content from you or about you (e.g., it might suggest topics like "sports", "legal", "social", "management", "online", etc.) How it does this is a little beyond my knowledge of semantic processing, as well as what practical use this is seems to escape me.
But it's fun. :)
Some issues with it, is that because it searches on people names across the Web, the content may mistake e.g., one "Luis Suarez" (our own blog-evangelist) with another "Luis Suarez" (soccer player). It helps if you have a globally unique name like "Rawn Shah" (so far). Another problem is that the results may vary depending on how it processes whatever search results it finds. So, in trying it out three times to see how close it was, it showed slightly different categories for me and sized these differently as well.
I can't figure out why the following categories appear since I rarely if ever talk about them: military, religious, religion, genealogy
Social computing adoption issues due to scale
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  social-computing blueiq social-software population scalability e20 size 1 Comment 10,674 Views
On returning from the recent Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston, I had time to reflect on the scaling issues that come up in social software adoption across an enterprise. In watching Gentry Underwood's excellent presentation on how they designed the social computing environment in IDEO, I tweeted to him that new issues start to pop up when you move from an enterprise social environment for 500 people to 200,000--or in IBM, nearly 400,000 people in 170 countries. This is not a bragging point, rather a one of frustration.
There certainly are other large or technological-oriented companies deploying social environments, but from my experience in hearing from others, no one has hit some of the scale issues that we have in IBM. Obviously we are talking about an enterprise's deployment rather than a social site like Facebook; they're very different issues for each.
For one, while employee profiles and directories are starting to become commonplace in other enterprises, we have had one for well over a decade in one form or another. We've already gone through the issues and practices others have found: (a) include everyone; (b) prepopulate with relevant contact, work info, projects, etc; (c) popularize it as the place to look up data; (d) integrate into or make it THE basis for contact info for other existing internal and extranet Web apps; (e) invite partners,contractors and suppliers; (f) tie to enterprise-wide LDAP and single-sign on; (g) integrate into common work processes and behaviors. In fact, the last I looked, we had nearly 600,000 profiles in our Bluepages (including employees, supplementals, contractors, bots, some partners and suppliers).
While the Bluepages system certianly popular, it is but one of several dozen commonly used social software tools, some of which in themselves have hundreds of thousands of unique users. We have thousands of smaller communities and wikis some of which have tens of thousands of members. The multiple tools comes out of our laissez-faire attitude to allow many software ideas to emerge, and through our user base test and advocate the best ideas.
The population size of this system isn't quite the issue, but I put some thought into what enterprise 2.0 deployment issues might appear with scale and came up with the following chart. I hope this can help other maturing e2.0 environments consider some of the issues they may be coming up agains
A. distribution of people across time zones
B. distribution of people across cultures / countries
C. distribution of people across physical locations
D. distribution of people across job categories or dissimilar job roles
E. projects people work on are very different in nature
F. distribution across access devices (desktops, laptops, mobile)
G. many separate (non-integrated) social tools, or different interfaces
H. many separate databases as information sources
I. many separate or isolated social instances
J. number/reach of boundary-spanners
PS: Thanks dW folks for migrating my blog over!
Upgrading Enterprise 2.0 like upgrading from Fiat to Ferrari? Not at all
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  e20 social-software enterprise 4 Comments 8,024 Views
Lee Provoost's post, "Adopting Enterprise 2.0 in large organisations: Fiat or Ferrari?" talks about how people can start with smaller
cars like a Fiat and eventually upgrade if need be to a Ferrari, rather than
wait decades of riding public transportation until they save enough for their
top car. I don't see the entire negative with public transportation but when it
comes to social software, this ignores a large problem: migrating from one
social software system to another is a lot more complicated than just replacing
the tool itself.
Having seen first-hand several generations of social tools
in our company, and trying to get people to migrate from one existing
environment to a new one, it takes a bit of work to get people to switch to the
new system. A better analogy than cars may be "transportation networks". In the
US, think about asking people to stop driving and using trains instead.
First of all, change is hard: people become used to certain features and know how to work it quickly. Unless the new social tool has the exact same features handled exactly the same, it means new learning, often new terminology, and trial and error.
Social tools also don't always make it easy to migrate from one system to another. So you may also need to reenter your profile information, preferences, and generally reinstate what you may have already had before.
People place a lot of content and context into their social
environment, and unless that is all migrated with them too, they may see it as "loosing
their standing in that social environment." For some this is in the form of
rankings; for others useful or valuable content that they left behind. New
social environments don't need to start at zero but more often than not, they
are not fully compatible with the old ones or provide different tools and
require different fields; thus, migration is not a simple prospect of
Finally, a new system should probably not only perform better,
but all them to interact in better ways. This also means new features to ask
people to try out. The power of the new social tool may be in those new
features but in maintaining the status quo, many users will keep using what
they know, until enough people have adopted the new features.
These are just a few basic reasons in adoption that make it
difficult to simply "level up" to a new social system. If you run a social
software system in your enterprise, you should certainly not treat it like just buying a new car.

Support the pro-life mission at the University of St. Thomas during the 2nd annual Celts for Life fundraising banquet. The banquet, aimed at helping the Celts for Life witness for life at the March for Life in Washington, D.C., will be held on Sunday, March 23, 2014 from 5:30 -8 p.m. in Scanlan Room, Jerabeck Center, 4000 Mt. Vernon St.
The banquet will feature a home-cooked dinner of chicken saltimbocca with salad and dessert, served by student waiters and waitresses, who are members of the Celts for Life club. Additional activities include a silent auction, with proceeds going to the annual March for Life and a well-known speaker from the pro-life movement, secretary Katherine Wojtyna said.
"The purpose of the banquet is to fundraise and grow in support for the Celts for Life to continue the fight for the protection and acknowledgement of the dignity of every human life," Wojtyna said. "Ultimately all pro-life efforts are important, but Celts for Life is especially important because college students are the face of the future for upholding human dignity."
Celts for Life began as a student on-campus initiative in 2008. Members host and attend several activities on and off campus such as Friday prayer and college day outside Planned Parenthood, the annual March for Life, fetal development day, pro-life panels and speakers and volunteering in the community.
The banquet is open to anyone who would like to support the Celts for Life. For those who would like to attend, the cost is $35 per seat or $275 per table with eight seats. To RSVP, contact Sister Damien Marie Savino at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Merry Christmas everyone !!! I am going to post a bunch of pictures over the coming days
Last edited by Crazymike1965; 12-24-2012 at 11:15 PM.
what can I say? really pretty like always and I really like the purple tree
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
*Seeing isn't believing.Believing is seeing.*
Wishing you all a safe and healthy New Year 2012 was an year filled with lows and a few highs for me so I am praying that 2013 will be a better year. January is always a sad time of the year when we take down the decortions. I will start taking things down on Jan 19th as I have friends coming to visit iin the coming days and they want to see the decorations.
'I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future!' Scrooge repeated, as he scrambled out of bed. 'The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. Oh, Jacob Marley! Heaven, and the Christmas Time be praised for this! I say it on my knees, old Jacob, on my knees!' (Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol)
Hi Papa, I am going to try and post every so often through 2013.
Hi Everyone Most of the decorations are down and packed away. I took the big tree down last week and it took me 12 hours. The purple tree is the last item left to take down.

Dear RJF Team- I was curious if a modified FN PS90 build would be something your guys would be interested in. My objectives are a shorter barrel with integrated suppressor and select fire (semi, TRB , and full auto).
I know how busy you are with the show however, I cannot think of better hands to entrust my baby.
Also, the RJF 1911 is looking like one fine piece. What is the current lead time?

|Oh I forgot to mention, I also have a Mac Mini connected to the system. That way we have internet and Netflix etc. It really helps when you don't want to run to the video store. (Of course it helps to have ClearWire in my area. That won't work everywhere...)
The wife and I have a great 1080i Vizio 32" monitor that we got at Costco right before we dumped our membership (How can you shop at costco when you live on a boat? I can't get 100 rolls of TP down the companionway hatch!) It was like $575. We don't have the 5.1 system though. On our Catalina, we just didn't want to run all the wiring for rear speakers, but there are those who would find it no problem. We did lead the stereo outs to a pair of great Bose speakers that were originally used for a computer. They are small and efficient and can blow us out of the boat when we crank it up!
We love the setup. We have our setee constantly in the down position so it is just a giant couch and the screen is on the Starboard wall. Everyone gets to watch movies in the evening while we are on the dock, which so far is always. I know that when we cruise we won't have the TV and I bet the kids don't know that yet, but that is why you go cruising, to get away. The rest of the time though we have a great entertainment center. Some of the newer flat screens work great so just look for the best of what you can afford.
Good luck.
|How about putting your projector on a mount you can set up on the transom and project onto the mainsail. You would have your own drive-in movie!
Swivel in the bulkhead
I was recently in a yacht where hey had mounted an iMac 24 into the bulkhead and could swivel it within the large port between the dining area and the bedroom. While seated at the table you could work on stuff or swivel it around to the bedroom and watch movies while laying down. When not in use it could be lowered into the bulkhead. I thought it was shear genius. The computer could remain very protected from the elements while underway and then when on the hook simply rose up on demand. I'd copy and paste the link but I've been lurking w/out posting for a long time and therefore cannot. I'd love to mimic this one day as it suits our needs as well. Keep in mind the Kauana (our inspiration) cruises over half the year long. Love it!

Blu-ray playback on a PC can be solved by using Cyberlink PowerDVD software. It updates over the internet to handle the newest blu-ray disks, I've never encountered a disk I couldn't play. That and Arcsoft are basically the only 2 pieces of software that work correctly.
Of course you need an HDCP compliant connection for blu-ray like HDMI. You can also use SlySoft AnyDVD HD which will decode the content protection on a blu-ray disk and play it over a VGA connection. You can also use it to rip blu-ray images to a hard drive for later playback if you have the space. Each rip is about 45GB. The AnyDVD software also automatically updates over the internet.
Newer projectors, especially the LCD models, don't really need to be used in a completely dark environment, they get brighter with every generation. Optimal viewing distance is 1.5 times the horizontal dimension of the screen, figure out your screen size from this based on your viewing distance then make sure the projector can throw that size image from your mounting location.
On our boat we use an LCD monitor. I have a mount where the swivel arm stays permanently attached to the monitor and slides into a bulkhead mounted bracket. We have a 15 inch monitor that swings into the companionway for use as a chartplotter, and a 24 inch 1080p monitor with the same bracket that can be swapped in and swings into the cabin to watch movies. Any monitor with an external power brick generally runs on 12v power, you can just wire it directly in to your DC panel.

|We live on our 33' sailboat and spend at least half a year at anchor or on moorings. Although I don't have a Blu-Ray, I do enjoy watching movies on our system. We have two TVs, a 22" LCD in the Salon and a 13" LCD in the berth. We ripped all our DVDs (over 400 of them) to AVI files and play them using a Brite-View 1080P HD player in the Salon and a Netgear media player in the berth. We connect our USB hard drives to the media players. For sound, I use RCA cables connected to our Aquatic AV auxiliary input. I use the Aquatic AV because of the IPod control and the RF remote.

Issues with PC/laptops and Blu-Ray DRM playback! I dropped an extra pile of buck$ in my laptop purchase (HP Mobile Workstation) to get a Blu-Ray writer/player... only to discover that there are now licensing issues with playback software (both Nero and Intervideo). It seems that there are no upgrades available to play many "new featured" discs. So if I were in your shoes, I would likely just grab the low-end Panasonic and be done.
(my home theater has a nice Sony BR player, but that's a different story).

Topic: Few suggestions
Virtual servers are very popular today i would like to give you few suggestions
1. Since VS are limited with resources maybe you should add option where user can choose will he install AV/Spam packages or not.
2. In Some virtualization solution services don't have access to 127.0.0.1 so they bind to server's IP ,maybe you can modify your script in order your mail solution to work in this servers too.

Yonne in Burgundy, France, is the site of many attractions such as a fortified town and ancient church. Avallon sits a fortified hill town atop a rocky spur. Avallon attractions are the 12th century Romanesque Church of St. Lazarus with two carved doorways, one displaying the signs of the Zodiac and The museum of Avallonnais. In Sens, you have one of the most ancient of Gothic churches. This Sens attraction is St. Etienne dating from 1140. It, too, has a museum, the Museum of Sens. Auxerre is a larger town. It overlooks the Yonne River. Prominent Auxere attractions include the Gothic St. Etienne Cathedral. This structure took shape over three centuries. It has intricate stained glass windows and slender choir columns. The frescoes in the Romanesque crypt date from the 11th to the 13th centuries. St. Germain formerly an Abbey Church, now houses Auxerre religious cultural display the Museum of St. Germain. St, Germain mentored St. Patrick. St. Germain is an important Auxerre cultural Christian site for another reason. In this shrine, many of the early pagans of the region converted to Christianity.

Due to staffing cuts and electronic journal subscription cancellations, the Welfare Reform Digest ceased publication in November 2015. The service had been running since March 1999, and the decision to stop it was a hard one to take. We apologise to our loyal users.
From 1999 to 2015, a dedicated team of British Library staff scanned the quality newspapers, the British Library's intake of new government and Parliamentary publications (print and electronic), and a wide range of trade and academic journals in print and electronic formats to identify the latest news, research and comment around welfare reform. They then produced full bibliographic references with detailed abstracts to give both the flavour of the cut and thrust of the debate, and an overview of the research literature.
Back issues 2011 – 2015 continue to be available on the Social Welfare Portal at the links below. Earlier issues 1999 – 2011 are available as an archived resource on the UK Web Archive.
To facilitate access, issues of the digest include hotlinks to journal and newspaper articles and research reports which are available free on the Internet, and to the home pages of academic journals. If your institution subscribes to the journal, you will be able to access the article using your user id and password. If not, publishers often have the facility on their web sites to sell offprints, or you can order the article for delivery to your home or office from the British Library On Demand Service. Please note that fees will be payable for document supply.

RI state police official suspended with pay
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Island state police have suspended a high-ranking officer with pay while an undisclosed allegation is being investigated.
The Providence Journal reported Thursday that State Police Col. Steven O'Donnell confirmed disciplinary action has been taken against 45-year-old Lt. Col. Wilfred Hill, the agency's third-highest ranking officer. O'Donnell declined to comment on the allegation, saying he couldn't give details of an internal matter.
State police legal counsel Lisa Holley said Hill was placed on administrative leave Tuesday, and Massachusetts State Police are helping in the Rhode Island State Police investigation to avoid appearance of conflict of interest.
A home telephone listing for Hill couldn't be found Thursday evening.
The 22-year veteran was promoted in April. The job includes overseeing the state police training academy, sheriffs, capitol police, fire marshal and the emergency telephone system.

Sandy • Has Alta quarterback Chipper Lucero been so good this season because of the skill and experience of his receivers?
Or have the Hawks' receivers posted career-best numbers because of the proficiency of a talented quarterback?
The chicken-or-the-egg riddle may not have an answer. Fans around Alta aren't searching for the solution. They simply are enjoying the results.
The Hawks enter the week 3-0 and ended a three-game losing streak to rival Bingham in the annual Black and Blue game last month.
"We've got a really good offense," senior receiver Ammon Barker said. "I think in a couple of more games we should really be rolling."
Barker and fellow senior Harrison Handley are two of the biggest reasons Alta is getting it done through the air so far. The Hawks are averaging more than 250 yards passing and have seven passing touchdowns, including four to Barker.
Barker caught scores of 25 and 37 yards, while Handley, who stands 6-foot-6, pulled in a 50-yarder for Lucero's fourth touchdown of the game in last week's thumping of Olympus.
"I just know that whenever things get tough, I have a go-to guy," Lucero, a first-year starter, said about Handley. "But all of my receivers are really good."
Handley, who caught just seven passes as a junior, made eight grabs in a season-opening victory against Timpview, accounting for a career-best 103 yards.
Barker ranks second in Class 5A with 111 yards per game and is among state leaders with four touchdowns through three games.
After just one 100-yard game in the previous two seasons, Barker already has topped the century mark twice this season, including a career-best 196 yards against Olympus.
"I think as the games continue to keep going, I will continue to get 100-yard games," Barker said. "I'm confident that we can get all of our receivers 100 yards because we have that much talent."
And should defenses decide to key on the veteran wideouts, Alta can go to junior Mack Richards, who has combined for 210 yards rushing and receiving.
It's a tight-knit group at the skill positions, one that has helped produce nearly 30 points a game one-third of the way through the regular season. That number ranks sixth in Class 5A in scoring.
"With Harrison and Ammon anchoring that group, there's two or three years of experience from both of them," Alta coach Bob Stephens said. "We're utilizing Mack as a receiver and a running back. The quandary is who am I going to get the ball into whose hands? Chipper's doing a good job with that."
Alta is 3-0 for the first time since 2008 the last time the Hawks claimed the Class 5A state title.
The receivers give plenty of credit to Lucero, who, despite being a first-year starter, is quite familiar with his teammates.
"You can tell that he's been improving over the years," Handley said about the quarterback. "I've know him since we all started as sophomores. He's been my quarterback for years, and you can see the improvement that he's been making."
And that victory at Rice-Eccles only served to whet Barker's appetite for a return visit.
"Finally got my first win up there, so that feels good," Barker said. "I'd really like to get up there again this season and show that Alta is a dominant team again. I think that's how we are, and I think that's how it should be."
Flying high
Alta is 3-0 for the first time in four seasons and beat rival Bingham for the first time since 2008.
Alta's receiving trio of Ammon Barker, Harrison Handley and Mack Richards has combined for more than 650 yards and six receiving touchdowns through the first three games of the season.
Hawks quarterback Chipper Lucero has completed 60 percent of his passes and has Alta ranked sixth in Class 5A with nearly 30 points per game.

A little alone time it is, and the Eureka Spitfire 3-season, 1-person tent is an easy choice for fast-and-light solo travel that won't zap the bank account. It has a little more room than most solo tents, so you don't feel like you're stuffed in a coffin when you're getting some sleep or staying out of the rain. Lightweight aluminum poles reduce the overall weight, while the hoop-style design make set-ups super easy. When the skies are grey, throw on the PU-treated rain fly, and when they're clear, enjoy a bug-free sleep under the stars thanks to the no-see-um mesh canopy.

Great value, super light
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Took this on an autumn through hiking trip in Northern Sweden. Kept me dry in rain, ice, wind and snow, super easy to setup and takedown, and nice and light. Honestly, for $140 I wasn't expecting it to perform so well. That said, I might say 3 season is a little more like 2.5 season. With wind and dropping autumn temps, I was pretty chilly. If using this tent in shoulder seasons of spring or fall, think carefully about weather. But that's the tradeoff for getting something so lightweight, so pick your poison!
awesome for the price
My Spitfire solo is 11 yrs old and is still going strong. I would like a new tent, but I cant for the life of me find anything better. reasonably priced, light weight, water tight. I would say that I have over 90 nights backpacking with the old model. The new model is lighter yet. So. my next tent will be another Spitfire.

Excellent tent
I borrowed this tent from a friend to backpack with. It is easily set up and taken down and held up well in the wind. I would absolutely use this tent again.
Awesome picture Dana!!!
I selected this image to feature on the Community Hub at the bottom of the Backcountry.com homepage! Congrats on being amazingly GOATWORTHY !!
where is this picture taken?
I was thinking same thing as John R... Where was this? My wife guessed Montana, and I guessed Cascades. :p
I feel like this is a lake in the wind river range, it looks really familiar
It was taken near Long Lake near Bishop, California . Thanks for the positive feedback.
Nothing better for the price.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Is rarely you can find a lightweight and quality tent for this price.
To be bluntly honest i was a little concern but again the price gain me over. I had multiple solo tents from msr, north face, mountain hardware and other brands , more expensive and heavier.
The trail weight of the tent is 2lb and 7oz lighter than the MSR Hubba which retails 3 times the price.
The interior of the tent is big enough for a 6'4 person with room to spare on the side for additional items and you can fully sit up thanks to the 42" interior height.
The mesh provides plenty ventilation for no condensation just make sure the tent is properly taut otherwise the fly be directly on the mesh above your head. The side entrance roll up mesh panel makes a difference since the vestibule is not large enough for cooking but the design on the fly allows you to insert a trekking pole by releasing one of the clip attachments creating an awning under the rain.
I had this tent under 6" of snow with all guidelines attach and had almost no condensation inside and no damage to the 8.8mm poles. (thats really impressive for a 3 season tent)
This tent is a super bargain...the only con is the one way zipper at the entrance which if you are not careful will get stuck in the interior flap.
Thanks for a real review on this tent Christian, glad to know it'll hold up no matter where you pitch it. LOL!
Good lightweight solo tent
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
My previous solo tent was light and convenient but had a peak height of only 28" which made sitting up impossible and getting dressed inside a bit of a chore. So I was looking for more height and this tent provides that with room to spare - easy to sit up in and to get dressed. I'm 6', 160 lbs. and there's plenty of room for me and my gear. Haven't been through any storms yet, but the quality appears to be good with nice even seams, smoothly operating zippers, and secure attachments for the stake pullouts and pole clips. So I expect it to hold up well over the years. The roof vent that can be adjusted from inside is a nice touch - can be left open normally but closed if wind-driven rain should start to come in. Comes with steel pin-style stakes which are both heavy and not very secure in loose soil so I've replaced them with a pair of aluminum triangular stakes for better holding power at the tent ends and very light titanium pin-style stakes to hold out the fly.
Hey there! Welcome to the Backcountry Community!
I've now used the Eureka Spitfire for about a month's worth of overnights and would raise my rating from 4 to 5. It's been through a very intense thunderstorm, some hail, and a bit of snow without any issues and still looks like new after extended bicycle camping and backpacking trips.
Great Solo Tent With One Caveat
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've had this tent for about six months and have used it four times in Fall and Winter conditions. The two most important criteria for me when I purchased this tent were weight--I wanted something less than three and a half pounds--and peak height. While there are plenty of solo and two person tents that weigh less than three and a half pounds there are very few that have a peak height of 40 inches or more. By the time I had whittled my list down to two tents it was between this and the Big Agnes Angel Springs UL 2. (I know, they're not really comparable tents, but those were the two I was considering.) The Spitfire 1 won out in the final analysis because it offered everything I wanted at a price that wouldn't make me feel bad if I used it once and then put it in the garage sale pile.
Bottom line: I love this tent. At three and a half pounds it met my weight criteria. With a 40 inch peak height I could actually sit up and still have an inch or two of spare headroom. In a compression sack it squishes down to the size of large loaf of bread. For a non-freestanding tent it's pretty easy to set up. There's just enough room for me and my gear and I haven't had any condensation issues or leaks in everything from sub 20 degree nights, rain, sleet and snow. The verdict on long term durability remains to be seen, but the tent appears to be well constructed and I haven't noticed any separating seams or undo wear. After four trips--and I do use a footprint--the tent still looks brand new.
The one caveat is that while it has a very generous peak height for this class of tent it isn't very long. At 5' 8 I'm a short guy and if I was much taller the length would be an issue. If you're 6 feet or taller then I'm pretty sure that your head and feet would be touching at the ends. Having said that, if you can live with the length and you're looking for a lightweight solo non-freestanding tent this is an outstanding value and I think it will likely give you many years of good service.
Rolled up
Here is how the I had the tent place on the rack. It isn't the smallest tent when rolled up, but it also isn't very heavy or super huge. Can compare the size with the bike or the Z-Lite Pad next to it. Everything fit in the bag plus the footprint that I got extra, so I has a little bit of room for the sloppy mornings when you don't have the energy to get it perfect.
I have to say, 21 inches is a tad long, but if you separate the poles from the package, it travel better… speaking from an off roaders point of view… thanks Austin
And a little vent!
This picture shows a better view of the vent with the little flap that can be accessed from inside to close or open the vent. Also shows a little bit more of the screen walls and the space on the inside.
That looks like an awfully loose fly. Is that just a poor pitch job or an issue with the design?
Hey Randy, the fly isn't normally that loose, it was just a poor pitch job on my part. We rolled into the campground late at night, the ground was too hard for some good lines and I was just too lazy to set it up perfect. When set up correctly the fly is nice and tight from what I have found.
This was the morning after our first night of bike touring through Kanarraville, UT. Sleeping bag fits great with a pad, some space above the head and below the feet, and plenty of room by the shoulders to more around a little. The screen door rolls up and can be held in place, same with the fly so they get out of your way and make getting in and out easy.
From the non-entry side.
This is the top/non-entry side of the tent so no zipper on the fly or on this side of the tent but was great to put gear under the vestibule that I didn't need to access until the next day.
Welcome to my abode.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
If you are looking for a 1 person tent that is light and also comfortable, this is the tent for you. It packs up small, has a solid construction and does exactly what I need it to do.
This tent is a breeze to set up and goes together quickly without any issues. The clips for the poles are so easy to use and you don't have to worry about ripping those little sleeves that are always such a hassle. Well not with the Spitfire! Only two curved poles, a few clips and then the stakes for the ends and bam! You have a tent set up for that coma that you so badly need after that long day of riding or hiking. The fly is nice because it has clips on the end so it will actually clip right to the tent and the straps on the ends are even color coordinated with the straps on the tent so you don't have to worry about putting it on the wrong way.
Of course this tent doesn't feel like a super gnarly canvas tent that will last forever, but for how light it is the construction does feel really solid. The seams are tight, the zippers feel solid, and the straps and poles are great for keeping the tent in place and solid. I did buy the footprint, which unfortunately backcountry.com does not have available, but that is something I would recommend to help preserve the life of the tent.
I have looked at other 1 person tents and I liked how tall this one is without adding a lot of extra weight or sacrificing build quality. I am 5'10" and I fit great in the tent and still had room at my feet for some extra clothes and above my head for some snacks or goodies. The shape is great because it is wide by your arms so you can have a little room to move around and more narrow by your feet where you don't need as much room. Being able to sit up in the tent was great and I never felt claustrophobic inside.
The mesh pockets on the inside are great for those things that you want to keep off the ground or you want to always know where it is. The colors are great, true to the site, and make it easy to see inside and help bring in the light to make it not feel like a cave. Using the rope and stakes that came with the tent help keep the fly far from the edge of the tent so you can stay dry when the rain does fall.
Super stoked with the tent and I'm excited to get out and use it more.
So far so great, but only time will tell how it will hold up.
How many stakes are required?
Hi David, You'd need 10 stakes for to get this tent and fly into the ground, as well as guying out the rain fly. Please reach out to me directly with any other questions you have. - Matthew Pizza - Expert Gearhead
Does this tent include or support guylines?
Is this tent waterproof/resistent?
Hey Alex,

Strong fragrance, but not what I hoped
I had hoped Goldleaf would be a layered experience, as it touts several scents, including oak moss and rose. It smelled almost wholly of jasmine to me. And while the perfume of this candle is long and lasting, the bold and traditionally flowery aroma is too much for my taste.

Gold leaf Candle
Gold Leaf has been my favorite Thymes scent for almost twenty years. I have the perfume, room spray and diffuser, all of which are wonderful. I bought this candle to give a subtle scent to a guest room. When it is burning it doesn't smell like anything but a generic, flower scented candle. No Gold Leaf scent at all. When it isn't burning, the candle has no scent at all unless you stick your nose right into the candle. I bought based on reviews that said it scents a room even when not burning. This candle, sadly, does not. Perhaps it had been sitting in a warehouse for too long. I have ordered the Gold Leaf diffuser to scent the room instead.

I don't "do" candles. We have housecats so I can't have an open flame in our house.
I purchased this candle because other reviewers mentioned the fragrance of even the unlit candle permeates the room.
I have the unlit candle sitting on an open shelf in one of our bathrooms. While it certainly doesn't fill the room with fragrance (remember, it's not lit) I can catch a whiff of Goldleaf while walking near the shelf.
The frosted glass holder is solid and heavy. This is a quality product! For someone who enjoys lighting candles this would be fantastic!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
454C10 is spot on. Exact. There may be other factors involved, but in general a dual pattern cam is used where the exhaust/intake flow ratio is in need of help.
All things being equal, its better (in terms of torque curve production) to port for better E/I ratio and run a single pattern cam. For instance, if you have a poor E/I ratio and run a 214/224 cam, then you port the exhaust for an optimum E/I ratio and switch to a 214/214 cam, the torque curve will be generally flatter, peak hp will be higher, and the RPM at which the torque peaks will be a tiny bit lower... but in this example, only by about 50 rpms.
To determine whether or not you need or should use a dual pattern or single pattern cam for your setup, find the flow rates for your heads and use them to determine if you need a dual pattern for your application. All engines are different... BBCs optimum E/I ratio is different from a Ford Windsor.
|Vortech 4.3
|i see a dual pattern cam being the most benificial when a power adder is used.
I have read the following "general guide lines" about what more exhaust duration is good for:
1) weak flowing exhaust port (less than 70% of intake port)
2) stock exhaust manifolds and/or restrictive exhaust system
3) heavy car with a small engine, like 4500 lb truck with a 350.
4) cars with automatic transmissions
5) N20 or supercharger equipped engines
A cam with more exhaust duration with have a rougher idle than a cam with less exhaust duration as long as the cams are ground with the same lobe separation. The longer duration exhaust cam will have more overlap, and the amount of overlap effects the idle more than anything.
I still think it`s funny about this debate. I`m not one to say dual pattern cams don`t work, they do and they do well as do single pattern grinds. However, When a exhaust system has headers, ample sized pipe, low restriction mufflers, why is the need there for more on the exhaust side?
Every chevy head I`ve ever looked at has a good exhaust port, it`s the intake side that`s not that great, when you look at a ford small block windsor head it`s just the opposite, the exhaust port is small, kinked, and looks like a nightmare, you wonder how the engine breathes at all, the intake port is big and with some work flows nicely, in some cases the port is too big like on the boss heads. But as for a example on a sbc, my opinion is simple, a dual pattern cam is needed when the exhaust system is not altered from stock or when nitrous is used, when the exhaust is free flowing a single pattern fills the bill, when the exhaust is already free flowing and a dual pattern grind is used I agree with Johnsongrass, over scavaging the exhaust kills the torque.
This is Isky's view:
Tech Tip - 2003
Longer Exhaust Duration: Is this really necessary?
Most stock camshafts from American production V8, V6 and 4 cylinder engines manufactured today are ground with the longer exhaust lobe duration. Or, another way of looking at this is that they are ground with shorter intake durations! The former embraces the viewpoint that either the Exhaust Ports or Exhaust Pipe system is somewhat restrictive, and is in need of an assist. The latter suggests that the intake system is rather efficient and cam timing can be trimmed back a bit with out much sacrifice in power, in order to maximize throttle response and cruising efficiency.
Take your pick here. There is no absolutely correct viewpoint - because both are probably true! In a stock engine running at conservative RPM levels, for the sake of overall efficiency, fuel economy and a quiet smooth running engine, this staggering of intake and exhaust duration is quite common and appropriate.
However, High Performance is another thing entirely. Change one factor, let's say in this case, the exhaust system (installing headers and larger pipes) and you have just negated in most cases, the need for that longer exhaust lobe. Now couple this change with a different intake system and camshaft and you have really scrambled the equation. But, wait just a moment. Why is it that so many people (racers & cam grinders alike) insist on running a cam with longer exhaust duration regardless of what equipment is employed? The answer is "habit". Most of them have been somewhat successful in doing it their way and will probably never change unless virtually forced by circumstances to do so.
Before we go any further however let's review what it actually is we are trying to do with an engine when we attempt to make more power. Our best result comes when we are cognizant of the fact that an engine is basically an air pump. We pump it in and out (although in a different form) and we have problems when one side or the other is restricted. Balance or the equilibrium or flow should be our objective, unless of course we are not trying to make more horsepower!
Example #1 (Oval track racing) Here, I have often observed that the most experienced drivers are those who are most likely to run a single pattern (equal on intake and exhaust duration) cam. Why? Because such cams always, I repeat always make more torque! These veterans have a more educated foot and greater experience in feathering the throttle in the corners. They can therefore, utilize the benefit of added torque, in the lower to mid RPM range, to their advantage.
Their counterparts, the younger drivers on the circuit, generally are not as experienced and may at times actually get "crossed up" in the corners especially with a lighter car or when they are learning the ropes. In their case, a longer exhaust duration is often the more appropriate choice. It will often help them to drive better, more "flat footed" if you will, without consequence. But please for the sake of accuracy, let us be truthful. The benefit comes from an actual bleeding off of low to mid range torque, which is always what happens when Exh. Duration is lengthened, not from any improvement. The improvement, (if any) would come because of an improvement in scavenging at the extreme upper end of the power curve and would usually be marginal at best. Yet the so-called "extra power" potential of a longer Exh. Duration cam is most often why they are touted - power most people are backing away from at the end of the strait away!
Example #2 (Drag Racing) At the drag strip it's a little different and I feel more honest. Here, racers have long enjoyed longer exhaust and longer durations across the board (If I may add specifically for the purpose of "killing" low-end torque) to keep the tires from too easily breaking lose. This has been successful and sometimes actually results in a slight increase in top end power - something you can actually use in drag racing since it is a full throttle endeavor through the lights. Keep in mind here though, it's quite possible that a longer duration cam overall would have done just as well or better. In other words if you needed that longer exhaust for top end, perhaps the intake could have benefited from such a lengthening as well.
One of my favorite expressions is how "The Drag Racing mentality has infiltrated the ranks of Oval Track". Many have crossed over and made the switch in the past 10-15 years and some have brought their preconceived notions about how to cam an engine with them. A few may actually read these concepts and if they do so will at least come away with a better understanding of what they are doing. On the other hand they also could find that this information might actually help their cars to run just a bit faster!
Note: Readers may find Camfather Ed Iskenderian's Top Tuners Tip #33 "Can an Exhaust System Over-Scavenge the Combustion Chambers" to be a relevant precursor.
From: http://www.iskycams.com/techtips.php
|The dual pattern cam mentioned works well with a street exhaust system. Holding the exhaust valve open longer evacuates the cylinder better. Also does not effect idle quality and retains good intake vac.
Dual pattern Cam vs. Single pattern Cam
Hey guys,
I've just been wondering recently about these two style camshafts. I know what they are (single cam being like mine 224/224 @ 0.050, dual pattern 222/234 @ 0.050).
What is the advantage of one over the other and how would you know if you needed one over the other. Aren't dual patterns for weak exhaust valves or something?

Gaia Theory
Adapted from Coming Back to Life
Thankfully, Lovelock did not call this hypothesis, soon to become a theory, the "hypothesis of self-regulative processes of the biosphere" or something which would have made it much more respectable to his fellow scientists. Instead he listened to his friend, novelist William Golding, who suggested he call it Gaia for the early Greek goddess of the earth, thereby catching people's poetic imagination. Like the Apollo photo of Earth from space, this image of Earth as a whole living being has transformed the way many of us now think of our planet home. No longer a dead rock we live upon, the Earth is a living process in which we participate. Earth, as a home for life, is a being that we can both harm and help to heal. Earth takes on a presence in our consciousness, not unlike the presence of gods and goddesses in the lives of our early ancestors.
