i have never used this company but it looks interesting!
It's probably not what you are looking for, but if you are interested, take a look at different types of Goretex materials. The vapor barrier itself does not make noise. However, with Goretex, it is backed by a different material. Some manufacturers use nylon type products as backing, which make noise, but others use materials that will be as silent as a cotton jacket. That being said, I think the army surplus stuff you mentioned is a good idea, although if you are hunting, you need to be able to put it in your pack and carry it. I'm not sure you can do that with a cotton jacket. They tend to be rather large.
To make matters more difficult I want for a walk yesterday with a mate who swears by Paramo jackets. Tried one on in a shop today(a Halcon) and really liked it - only problem (part from admitting the price to SWMBO) was that they didn't have my size. Guy in the shop reckons it's great for crawling after wildlife.
Might have to bite the bullet...
Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
...but significantly less good when sat by the open fire. Paramo stuff is quiet and does cope with the rain well but it does also snag on brambles and other pricklies and, as said earlier, suffers when your cheery blaze pops a hot spark out at you. From personal experience, I've also found them to be quite, shall we say, 'uncomfortably warm' when the weather is anything less than cold and gnarly - but that could be just me.
Well, I have to agree there... I have the Velez Light Adventure Smock and although I've worn it a few times, yesterday was the first time in very cold weather and I'm delighted at how good it was.
However, there is no way id wear it for crawling through bushes etc- the material is far too likely to get ripped. Ok, it just gets sewn up again and there is no impact on performance, but still...
Crawling through bushes and sitting round a fire is why I spent a lot of cash on a customised Ventile jacket... God I love it!!!! Well abused and still as good as new. (I can throw it on over the paramo if needed too)
"Listen, strange women laying in ponds distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government..."
I have to agree with John. If you can afford it, go with ventile. I have two ventile jackets and two ventile insulated coats. I've got a closet full of goretex clothes and rarely wear them anymore although for long trips in the backwoods, I carry a lightweight Red Ledge rainsuit or a silnylon poncho. For long dayhikes though, in the woods or the city, nothing beats ventile imo. Breathability is remarkable and helps to avoid clamminess better than anything I've ever worn. Shear comfort and a joy to wear. Yup, it wets out in heavy rain. I carry a compact umbrella in the city and the rain suit/poncho solves the problem in the woods. For winter wear, very hard to beat, especially for snowshoeing.
Ventile isn't new, it's old timey and pretty much the same as Egyptian cotton/balloon silk, which was good enough for the backwoodsmen of yesteryear. Newer isn't always better imo.
. . . deliverance will not come from the rushing, noisy centres of civilization. It will come from the lonely places. - Fridtjof Nansen
If you are interested in the historical use of the material, go to the original sources like Nansen, Scott, etc. I'm afraid they were not too flattering about it.
Got a feeling they were not wearing goretex either. Without a doubt nothing beats the animal skin clothing worn by the the natives of the north or were you trying to make some other point? Please try to be more specific in your comments. Real personal experience would be helpful. I doubt anyone here is planning on a trek comparable to those of Nansen or Scott.
. . . deliverance will not come from the rushing, noisy centres of civilization. It will come from the lonely places. - Fridtjof Nansen
This is a bit of a hot potato - when you factor in the vast amounts of pesticides & fertilizers used on cotton, especially high end stuff, the impact & energy use of these chemicals production. Not to forget the water demand of cotton growing.
Wool is a different kettle of fish - especially if local or low impact sourced. Again that said, nearly all merino (certain top firms excepted) is now done in China in factories with awful environmental records. The other problem with the big players in the merino game is the wool quality isn't always what they claim (remember China has no history of wool spinning and knitting/weaving) - its not always even 100% wool.
Scott used Gaberdine didnt he?
Here is Nansen's description of the clothing worn in his book Across Greenland:
"With the exception of two tunics of reindeer skin...and a little coat lined with squirrel skin, which I took but rarely wore, we had no furs, but wore woolen things throughout. Next to our skin we had thin woolen shirts and drawers, then thick, rough jerseys, and then our outer garments, which consisted of a short coat, knickerbockers, and gaiters...In wind, snow, and rain, we generally wore outside our other clothes a light suit of some thin, brown, canvas like stuff. This was reputed completely waterproof, but it turned out to be nothing of the kind. In wind and snow however, it did excellent service."
The description of the material sounds identical to Ventile. I'm sure we can call it other names, but at the end of the day it is tightly woven cotton.
As far as personal experience, I find Ventile and other cotton top layers to be the lowest return for the value ($) from the materials we have on the market today. It provides good wind protection and is durable, but I find it not to be practical for any long distance backwoods travel. It does not offer sufficient rain protection, so you are forced to carry other rain protection anyway. It is breathable when dry, but when wet is as breathable as a plastic bag-the time when you presumably need it the most. My biggest problem however is that assuming you are not just out for a walk in the woods, you will have to remove those top layers for most of the trip. When hiking and climbing, I am almost down to my base layers. This means that all the other clothing has to go in my pack. The size and weight of Ventile, or whatever the permutation of the day happens to be is just too heavy and hard to compact to be comfortably carried. I find that a wool shirt offers sufficient wind protection so that a cotton cover is not required, and for when there is rain or snow, I have a very light, highly compactable synthetic shell. It spends most of the time in my backpack, and I paid $45 for both the jacket and the pants. I know, I know, the fire will get you if you are not wearing wool or cotton. That has not been my experience. Here I am wearing fleece next to the fire:
Plenty of sparks landed on me, none of them melted my clothing.
My point is, Ventile, Gaberdine, etc, (Scott called it Burberry) is one of the most overpriced materials on the market. If you are paying $300 for a piece of clothing, there is a wide range of options. In some very limited circumstances, Ventile might be a great choice, for the rest though...
But, ultimately, I doubt any of this will matter. We wear what we wear for numerous reasons, performance is usually not on top of the list. This is just my opinion anyway. As far as first hand sources, Scott's journals also have a few references about this tightly woven cotton material, but I'm having a hard time finding them right now.

i have to say, my personal experience with ventile is with the SASS 'ventile-type' material so label stuff might be different spec. however, i found it to be quite simply put, the finest windproof material i have had the pleasure of using.i liked the reassuring stoutness of the fabric. i however didn't find it waterproof, but i think that might be my fault in the washing stage. when new it shed water just fine. but, a fabric for me must have more than a few attributes i like to remain my top choice.
i have for the last few years settled with the garbadine sas windproofs, i have genuine issue and and older SASS garbadine, i sold my ventile SASS on. i like the fact they require no special care whatsoever, i know the limits of the product, i know it will wet out, but will dry out ok.
for waterproof stuff, i'm using a keela munro. superb, no moisture build up to speak of, waterproof, good build quality and a lot more comfortable than goretex.
having said all that, i wouldn't turn down a westwinds antarctica smock! i'd be happy to do a review if they want to give me one! lol, xl or 2xl in any shade of bushcraft!
"a good reputation is hard won, and easily lost" - my nan
Another vote for Paramo: Aspira smock for Scottish/Alps mountaineering and Velez Adventure for everyday use. Having said that, I have to say that I feel al little more 'at one' with nature in ventile or in Swanni. There's something about natural fibres... I choose right clothing for situation.
It's Adventure In A Bowl...
Ross makes a good point: we talk a lot about synthetics and fire damage but there is no reason why you can't wear synthetics under natural fibre clothing or even under synthetics like fleeces, which don't have issues with holes in membranes. I think we all develop our own approaches to what keep us comfortable. I am still trialling systems for different activities, including high-active sports (where nothing keeps you dry as you sweat so much) to mountaineering (synthetics, Paramo and belay jacket) to bushcraft (often ventile, Swanni, with lightweight synthetic waterproof if it all gets a bit damp!). Still not entirely convinced by soft-shell, although I have some excellent garments (Rab Boreas for Summer adventures!)...
It's Adventure In A Bowl...
Identical? Hmmm. Could have been ventile if ventile had been invented. Egyptian cotton certainly comes close. Or it could have been drill or twist, sheeting, Palina cloth, Suma Cloth, Poplin, element cloth, balloon silk, or dry jean. All of these materials have been used in the past for tents and clothing and meet the description above. Tightly woven cotton is not very specific. The length of the cotton strands also makes a huge difference in performance. To call all "tightly woven cotton" material ventile is not even close to reality and is a poor argument to say the least. But you can spin it whatever way you want I reckon if it helps you "win" your argument. This is the internet after all. Put it in a blog, post it on a forum, make a video and put it on ewetoob and it becomes "truth."
I know what my personal experiences have been with ventile and goretex and tons of military clothing and I'm more than satisfied with that.
. . . deliverance will not come from the rushing, noisy centres of civilization. It will come from the lonely places. - Fridtjof Nansen
Sigh! Can we all agree that whatever we want to call it it is a windproof but not waterproof cotton material? If so, what exactly are we disagreeing on? What we are going to call it?
You yourself stated:
"Ventile isn't new, it's old timey and pretty much the same as Egyptian cotton/balloon silk, which was good enough for the backwoodsmen of yesteryear. Newer isn't always better imo."
You brought up the fact that Ventile was just like cotton materials used in the past and used it as a justification for why it is good. I in turn made a reference to some original sources which speak about those materials. If you want to ignore them, then so be it. If you want to make distinctions based on terminology, that's fine. From a practical stand point though, as you said, we have the same thing. That thing happens to be heavy, bulky and not waterproof. If your type of outdoor activity permits or favors such clothing then wear it. If not, for the type of money one will spend on such a jacket, you can buy just about any piece of clothing you can think of.
That is just my opinion, and the OP was asking for opinions. We do not have to agree.
Well I love my single ventile.
Everything else has either been too warm or noisy.
If caught in an absolute downpour on the hill or moor, then a poncho may be donned but if it's blowing a gale and the rain passes then it doesn't take as long as you think to dry off ventile.
For a' that, an a' that,
It's comin' yet for a that,
That man tae man the world o'er
Shall brithers be for a' that. R.B. 1759-96
Cool another Ventile debate....
The reality is Ventile is not a 'super' fabric possessed of a multitude of fantastic properties in the same way Goretex or other membranes are not a 'super' fabrics.
Depending on what type of Bushcraft you partake in depends on the type of fabric that is best suited to that activity.
It's that simple. I personally wouldn't want to be caught out on open moorland or in an Alpine elevation in a single layer Ventile Jacket as my sole weather proof top in cold heavy rain. As much as I wouldn't want to sit next to a popping and coal spitting fire in a 'Goretex waterproof'.
I think if you understand the benefits and limitations of any fabric you may choose (and there are a multitude of threads on BCUK alone on this subject) and use the fabric within those limitations then you'll probably be fine and the garment will not disappoint. Expect one fabric to do everything and you may end up a bit frustrated...
Ka tū te ihiihi Ka tū te wanawana Ki runga ki te rangi e tū iho nei, tū iho nei, hī!
Interesting! But its a bit difficult taking a dispassionate line with clothes, as emotions always get in the way.
I bought a double-layer ventile jacket from Survival Aids back in the 70s/80s. Beautifully made, and by all accounts at least as good as anything made today. Even then, horribly expensive. But, truth be told, I didn't wear it much, as it wasn't waterproof - water-resistant for a while certainly - and was as heavy as sin when wet. And not particularly breathable either - possibly because it was double-layer? And it ended up in a box in the garage, from whence the mrs threw it away!
Would I ever buy one again? Afraid not, as I couldn't justify the costs for a "fashion accessory", particularly when there's a host of gear nowadays that does a better job at a third of the price (in my humble opinion, of course)
Yup, exactly right. And Balloon Silk was considered in a class by itself. Egyptian cotton is not the same as other cottons. Have you ever priced Egyptian cotton sheets for instance? And Egyptian cotton sheets vary in thread count so the cloth made from Egyptian cotton is not all the same. Also, Balloon Silk was often treated to enhance its waterproofness but it certainly is not as waterproof as nylon treated with poly or other synthetics. But it certainly breathes better.
Here is an excerpt from "Trail Craft" By by Claude P. Fordyce; 1922:
Tent Making At HomeSHOULD one wish to try tent making at home, one is at once confronted with the choice of materials. Waterproofed balloon silk as a tent fabric stands in a class by itself. Superseding the antiquated heavy duck and flimsy drill cloth, balloon silk has been the chief item in revolutionizing tent making and thereby rendering extended hike trips at all feasible. It is really not a silk at all but a closely woven cotton cloth with a weight of but three and three-fifth ounces per yard. It is rot-, vermin-, and mildew-proof and exceedingly durable. Any large department store can supply you balloon silk, which can be handled on the ordinary sewing machine. Use good linen thread (No. 25), waxed, and for reinforcing use the tapes secured at the ten-cent store. All pieces to be sewn together are overlapped a half-inch and a one-inch hem is made around the edges. All points which are chosen for attachment to the ground pegs (oneat each hem) are reinforced with a small square of the tent material and then tape-ties are sewn on, or else grommets inserted, to receive rope ties. Coloring of the un-waterproofed tent is easily done with Diamond Dyesaccording to the package directions, tan or green being preferable.
And my main point here that there were lots of "tightly woven cotton" fabrics used in times past. That doesn't mean they were all the same or even similar to Ventile. You make an appeal to experts but you give no real validity to that appeal. From re-enactors that I know, I do know that Egyptian Cotton is still used successfully for tents and tarps and like Ventile, it is pricey. Again, not all "tightly woven" cotton fabrics are alike. It's a poor argument, period, imo.
. . . deliverance will not come from the rushing, noisy centres of civilization. It will come from the lonely places. - Fridtjof Nansen
I should add that I've owned goretex parkas nearly since the day they came out and I'm still waiting for one that "breathes" like it's supposed to. Been soaked to the bone on cool dry days just hiking around while wearing goretex. Ventile was a revelation to me, because unless it's raining cats and dogs, I stay dry as a bone in it. Hence, I'm a fan.
. . . deliverance will not come from the rushing, noisy centres of civilization. It will come from the lonely places. - Fridtjof Nansen
I think you misunderstood my point Hoodoo. It is not that they are all identical in all ways. It is that you will be wet in all of them, and have a very interesting time carrying them around in the woods. I am only concerned with the practical side of the issue. I have no interest in debating thread count or terminology when at the end of the day, a 3 lb, $300 coat will still let me get wet, regardless of the name. That's all. For that weight and money, I can think of better clothing systems. That is just my opinion. Take it for what it is.
As far as the argument you seem to have, despite my disinterest in it, you seem to be asserting that the "tightly woven cotton clothing" worn by Mallory, Scott and Nansen was significantly inferior to Egyptian Cotton. I have seen nothing to indicate that. From what I understand those men acquired the best materials that were available at the time, and their clothing was custom made. It is possible, and therefore their writings on the issue of the clothing would be irrelevant, but I have seen nothing to indicate that. As far as tent material, even rough canvas can be used. I am not certain what that shows.
I'm not sure what more to say on the historical issue. Those are the only instances I know of where the clothing was used and spoken about. If you believe that their clothing was significantly inferior to modern Ventile, and as such their comments do not matter, then so be it. I am not sure how much that matters either way, considering we seem to agree that you will get wet in the material, no matter what the name.
For a' that, an a' that,
It's comin' yet for a that,
That man tae man the world o'er
Shall brithers be for a' that. R.B. 1759-96
isn't the nature of the material in question, i.e cotton, it's downfall anyway? for the entire existance of the cotton strands life span, it constantly tries to get back to the original state? so it creases and frays and tries to always get back to the fluffy natural state that we as humans have tried to weave, sew and spin out of its existance? and by natures fine design, it tries to absorb water whenever it can? and only when our processing as humans of this fine material fails, does it achieve its one goal in its life...to make you wet and cold on the hill. lol. i think cotton believes in karma folkes! down with your twills and your drills! down with your eqyptian and your burberry! cotton i say live! be all you can be, be free little cotton ball, be free...

What are examples of people's favourite free form poems? I love several from Harmonium by Wallace Stevens:
The Plot Against the Giant wrote:First Girl
When this yokel comes maundering,
Whetting his hacker,
I shall run before him,
Diffusing the civilest odors
Out of geraniums and unsmelled flowers.
It will check him.
Second Girl
I shall run before him,
Arching cloths besprinkled with colors
As small as fish-eggs.
The threads
Will abash him.
Third Girl
Oh, la...le pauvre!
I shall run before him,
With a curious puffing.
He will bend his ear then.
I shall whisper
Heavenly labials in a world of gutturals.
It will undo him.
Cortège for Rosenbloom wrote:Now, the wry Rosenbloom is dead
And his finical carriers tread
On a hundred legs, the tread
Of the dead.
Rosenbloom is dead.
They carry the wizened one
Of the color of horn
To the sullen hill,
Treading a tread
In unison for the dead.
Rosenbloom is dead.
The tread of the carriers does not halt
On the hill, but turns
Up the sky.
They are bearing his body into the sky.
It is the infants of misanthropes
And the infants of nothingness
That tread
The wooden ascents
Of the ascending of the dead.
It is turbans they wear
And boots of fur
As they tread the boards
In a region of frost,
Viewing the frost,
To a chirr of gongs
And a chitter of cries
And the heavy thrum
Of the endless tread
That they tread;
To a jangle of doom
And a jumble of words
Of the intense poem
Of the strictest prose
Of Rosenbloom.
And they bury him there,
Body and soul,
In a place in the sky.
The lamentable tread!
Rosenbloom is dead.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,456345,00.htmlAn elementary school cafeteria worker and playground monitor, who had an extensive career in the adult entertainment industry, is becoming a New Jersey school district's legal nightmare.
Some parents in Vineland, N.J., as well as the board of education president, want Louisa C. Tuck fired, but district officials were advised by their lawyers and those from the New Jersey School Board Association they have no legal grounds to terminate the 32-year-old from her $5,772-a-year part-time job as an aide in the lunchroom and playground, The Daily Journal reported.
"We have no real legal stance or legal right to do anything for two reasons one, it's not illegal, and two, it's not on school time," Superintendent Charles Ottinger told the newspaper.
Tuck, who went by the name of Crystal Gunns when she starred in adult movies, performances and photos, told the newspaper it's been five years since she was involved in the adult entertainment industry. She now also works with children at the local YMCA.
I'm not going to judge her.

Intel, which employs more than 4,000 people in Ireland, relies on futurists like Brian David Johnson to deliver a vision of how we will be using technology in the future.
Eventually Johnson sees the devices getting smaller, thinner and almost invisible.
"When you talk about silicon architecture, right now we are at 22 nanometres, which is extremely tiny. When you look to 2020, the size of meaningful computational devices could reach almost zero. Moore's Law will keep going until we get to virtually zero.
"The next big focus for Intel is seven nanometres. When we get to that level, chips will be so small that they can be powered by friction, the heat of your body or the movement of your hand.
"Once you have computation moving to almost zero, it means we can make anything into a computer.

Hopkins Grad To Be Honored at Girls and Women in Sports Day
Toni St. Pierre successfully sued the Minnesota State High School League so that she could compete on the boys' cross running and skiing teams.
A Hopkins graduate is among those being honored at the 2013 Minnesota National Girls and Women in Sports Day. 1973 graduate Toni St. Pierre will receive a special merit award for her work breaking down barriers that prevented girls and women from playing sports. At the time she was in school, there were few girls teams and Title IX was not yet under consideration. In 1972, she and Peg Brenden convinced the American Civil Liberties Union to represent them in a lawsuit against the Minnesota State High School League. That lawsuit allowed her to compete on the boys' cross running and skiing teams at Hopkins Eisenhower High School—and created national news that helped lead to Title IX legislation. St. Pierre was also the state champion in the …

Amid cuts, Philly plans to close 37 public schools
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia School District announced an admittedly "painful," ''disruptive" plan to close 37 schools next year, as officials battle a flight to charter schools, shrinking budgets and stubbornly low test scores.
The closures represent about 15 percent of the city's nearly 250 schools and would save an estimated $28 million a year.
Tens of thousands of students have moved to public charter schools during the last decade, leaving only 146,000 students in district-run schools.
"As an educator and as a parent, I realize that the recommendations will be shocking, painful emotional and disruptive for many communities, not least our students, our families and our staffs," Superintendent William Hite Jr. said Thursday.
But he said they are needed to keep the school system afloat.
And along with the challenges come opportunities to develop stronger, safer schools that will encourage more families to stay in the district, he said.
Hite envisions schools with math and literacy coaches, new technology programs and — in advance of potentially turbulent school mergers — summer programs in conflict resolution.
Philadelphia badly lags the national average in reading and math scores, ranking below peer districts such as New York, Houston and Miami. About 61 percent of its students graduate from high school, while only 35 percent get a college degree.
The dwindling enrollment means less state funding, and the district had to borrow $300 million just to pay its bills this year.
The proposed cuts still must be approved by the state-controlled School Reform Commission, which plans to vote in March. Continued...
One parents group accused officials of cutting a "back-room deal" without input from the public.
"Private individuals have leveraged money and access to influence which schools (are) ... on the school closings list," Parents United for Public Education said in a statement.
At a news conference, Hite said the district will hold community meetings, and disclose details of the plan, in the months ahead.
No teachers would be laid off under the plan, although administrators and staff jobs would be vulnerable. And savings could come through attrition in a district that loses 1,000 teachers a year, he said.
Hite came to Philadelphia this year from Prince George's County, Md., where he had faced similar financial pressures.
The targeted high schools include Germantown High School, a nearly all-black school set to celebrate its centennial in 2014. Andrea Vare Elementary School in South Philadelphia also is on the list, despite good test scores and an unusually diverse student body. The racial makeup is 33 percent black, 23 percent Latino, 18 percent Asian and 15 percent white, according to Parents United.
"Why would you close that?" said the Rev. LeRoi Simmons, a leader of that group and the Germantown Clergy Initiative. "It's a perfect mix. It looks like the people standing behind (President) Obama."
Simmons complained that he has watched superintendents — and myriad school reform plans — come and go in Philadelphia during the past 30 years, with little classroom success to show for it.
The teachers union shared his sentiment and vowed to fight the latest round of closures. The cost of securing and insuring dozens of abandoned school buildings would rival the projected savings, the union said.
"This course of action has already failed to raise student achievement in the past, it has disrupted the lives of schoolchildren, and it has added blight and dangerous conditions in neighborhoods where these large, vacant buildings are located," the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers said. "Closing neighborhood schools is not only ineffective education policy — in the long term, it's not even sound fiscal policy." Continued...

Episode 1 (#465) Video Arcade Nightmares (season premier)
The Noiseland Video Arcade is in extreme danger of going out of business due to the changing times of computer gaming. Bart and Homer don't want this to happen, so they decide to attempt to save the business. While there, they notice that most of the games are either too new to interest Homer or too old to interest Bart so they try to convince the arcade owner to get more diverse games. However, this does not go very well to the arcade owner because he claims it will cost him too much. Meanwhile, Marge and Lisa try to decide how to redecorate the attic.
Episode 2 (#466) Uncool Hand Lisa
Krustyburger decides to remove all vegetarian alternatives from its menu due to poor sales. Lisa is so enraged that she decides to go there late at night and glues shut all the windows and doors. Unfortunately, she is caught and gets sentenced to six months at a juvenile detention home. While there she finds out that Gina from The Wandering Juvie is her cellmate and they have an instant fallout. Every time Gina does something bad in prison she blames Lisa and the warden always believes Gina and punishes Lisa. When Gina throws gasoline in the wardens face and sets her face on fire she blames Lisa thus puts Lisa and Gina on trial again.
Episode 3 (#467) Boys will be Girls
A new doll is advertised on television called Lettuce Garden Children in which these dolls are suitable for girls AND boys since the commercials feature boys playing with boyish dolls and girls playing with girlish dolls. Lisa is thankful for the advertising since she insists boys need to learn parenting just as much as girls. But Bart dismisses it as an advertising gimmick. When the dolls take the country by storm, it turns out that Bart is the only kid at school who won't jump on the bandwagon and gets teased by the other students. Lisa claims the other kids are right to tease him due to his sexist believing but Homer fiercely disagrees with Lisa. While Marge, although agreeing with Lisa, respects Bart's position because the Lettuce Garden Children she bought for Lisa cost the family too much money which ends up putting the family at odds with each other.

Shell bras, body paint and pasties were plentiful at the annual Mermaid Parade in Coney Island this past weekend. Comedian Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling and actress Annabella Sciorra served as king and queen while Moby (the DJ, not Dick) spun records at the after party.
This year was the 30th anniversary of the parade so the route was packed with mermaids and mermen, along with curious spectators and those with a mermaid fetish.
Check out these pics! Most of these mermaids are adorable like Ariel and even stunning like in Splash, but a couple are creepy like in She Creature. Enjoy!

Institutional Investor Support and Insider Buying Make Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (HEP) Compelling
May 22, 2013Christopher C.

Rackspace Hosting (RAX) Faces Increased Competition and Growth Uncertainty
May 21, 2013Rackspace Hosting (RAX) faces increasing competition and uncertainty about the future growth of its cloud business, with the most recent fourth-quarter results showing a revenue growth outlook which implied lower capex guidance than the Street hoped for, says Todd Weller, Managing Director at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. "We decided to downgrade the stock after we had a great multiyear run with it. I think at this point we remain more cautious than optimistic, and again some of that is just we feel that to become more constructive, we need to have a better understanding of what sustainable growth looks like, because again, things seem to have changed — and trying to figure out if they're a low 20% grower or high-teens grower, or how to think about that," Weller said...

"We were concerned in terms of some of the engagement metrics; the data we have suggests that the Millennial demographic might be churning off a bit faster than other demographics, which are shifting to more mobile-centric apps and/or platforms. We think Facebook tried to address this early on through its acquisition of Instagram, but what is happening since then is further fragmentation of the audience onto other platforms or apps such as Twitter, Snapchat or WhatsApp," Pitz said...

CNN's story about Noor al-Zahra Haider touched readers and viewers, many of whom wrote to say they felt some responsibility for the Iraqi girl whose life was saved by Americans at the height of the Iraq War.
Others simply wanted to know how they could help.
Childspring International, the Atlanta-based Christian charity that sponsored her stay in the United States in 2006, said it was setting up a special Baby Noor Fund so it could channel donations specifically to Noor's family. Noor was born with a severe form of spina bifida.
Alison Fussell, the executive director of Childspring, said Thursday the charity set up the fund after being contacted by people who saw the CNN story. She said she was not yet sure exactly how the donations would be used and that the charity was still determining what the right action would be.
She said it would look into possibly linking Noor's family with specialists in Baghdad or shipping medical supplies to them.
"We are keeping a separate account for her," Fussell said. "I do know that we will do the right thing. I am 100% sure of that."
Anyone who wants to donate should include the words "Baby Noor Fund" in the box that reads "Who should we notify of this gift" on Childspring's Donate Now page.
One CNN reader with spina bifida wished the Iraqi girl well.
"As someone born with a mild case of spina bifida, I've faced certain physical challenges throughout my life -- I'm 49 -- but nothing like this young Iraqi girl," wrote Paul Keyes. "May God grant her continued life, improving health and a happy heart."
Another reader, John Last, wrote: "We humans possess the power to turn our world into garden or wasteland. Tools are right here. ... So she was given hope by noble soldiers who still believe that they are warriors and not mercenaries. (The) journalist that was trying to make the difference instead of chasing some celebrity. Doctors, members of (a) charity group and host families who showed this child the best we humans can offer -- compassion. And then she was forgotten, received the worst we humans can offer -- indifference."

POD Farm failed to initialize L6TWXY framework. (Code 0x8000e00a)
Like (0)
Hi. I've Just updated my POD Farm to 2.51, But now when i try to start it i get a Dialogue Box informing me that "POD Farm failed to initialize L6TWXY framework. (CODE 0x000e00a)". What do i do to remedy this isue?
Also i updated my drivers but the Line6 Monkey is still showing the old ones. Why is this? and How do i Fix it?
e-mail: email@example.com
Hey arobinson430,
You will need to make sure to uninstall all versions of POD Farm from the computer as well as the Line 6 Audio drivers:
-Completely uninstall both POD Farm 1, POD Farm 2 and Line 6 drivers using the Line 6 Uninstaller within:
C:\Program Files(86x)\Line6\Tools
Then make sure to download and install the most recent version of the Line 6 drivers and Monkey from the links below:
Windows Drivers 18.104.22.168:
Line 6 Monkey 1.41:
Download and install POD Farm 2.51 from the link below:
Install it but do not launch it yet.
After successfully installing Line 6 Monkey and the drivers please try removing any additional unnecessary USB and firmware devices from your computer when troubleshooting this issue. Make sure to connect it directly to a USB port and not a USB hub, extension, or keyboard of any kind, preferably connect it to a USB port on the rear of computer. Try using additional USB cables and every USB port available.
Launch Line 6 Monkey and apply any updates that are available. Once all updates have been completed, close all open applications.
Then you will need to close all open applications then use the License Manager software to de-authorize and re-authorize your device. Make sure to remove the information when prompted to, and then install again when prompted to, this will ensure that you reinstall all of your available Line 6 assets from your account into your device.
This did not work for me, despite following every line of instruction. Very frustrating waste of time.
I had the same problem and the solution is pretty easy: you need to run POD Farm 2.5 as administrator: right-click, run as Administrator and voila!
Kind regards,
I have the same error and this didn't work for me.
You just uninstall old podfarm =>restart pc=> Open pc with safe mode=> Install podfarm again => Restart Pc
this did not work for me either.
line 6 needs to get their **** together i have had this problem for 3 months now and there is obviously no way around it. i have uninstalled it multiple times and tried to reinstall it and nothing.... what the **** can i do?? just wasted my money line 6 you bunch of dicks.
i have same problem so i downloaded gearbox instead not as good but at least its something
Same problem here. The above solutions do not work, and it appears that Line 6 have known about this for some time with no fix being made available.
Come on, you can do better Line 6.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

What's Not to 'Like?'
- By Amanda Harnocz
- Email the author
- January 20, 2013
Forrest the Dog's Popularity, Animal Rights Activism Growing on Facebook Page
In just a short amount of time, Forrest the dog has more than 1,200 followers.
Ever stop and wonder about what dogs could say if they could talk?
Solon resident Robin Stone, who recently took in the dog who was shot and left chained to a tree in Cleveland Heights, gives Forrest a voice through his own Facebook page.
Ramone Clements, the man accused of shooting a dog and leaving him for dead in Forest Hill Park, was charged with having ammunition as a felon on Wednesday and arrested Thursday.
But charges related to the alleged crime against the dog — including an animal cruelty charge — were dropped by local courts.
While this extends the sentence Clements faces if found guilty, Stone has said that it unjustly takes Forrest out of the proceedings.
Stone, who is an animal rights activist with her partner Patti Harris, said she started the Facebook page for a couple of reasons.
"First, we felt we needed a forum to keep a potentially large audience informed about his care, updates and events related to his case and also to gain as much support from animal lovers and advocates so we could begin to plan to put forth a comprehensive bill in Ohio," she said. "We decided early on that we would band together with PAWS Ohio to gain support for animal cruelty law reform and Forrest is already the catalyst."
The Facebook page was only started just recently and already, Forrest has 1,225 followers.
"I really had no expectations and I wasn't sure how fast and furious it would become but now that the fire has started I hope to hit the 10,000 mark," said Stone. "It was an absolute pleasure to see the outpouring of support and the passion that these people feel for companion animals."
People who follow the page have been leaving notes to Forrest for a quick recovery and to show support for animal cruelty law reform.
One follower wrote: "Good luck to you Forrest and enjoy your new home ... I hope you and your moms get to see the mean man who hurt you locked away in a cage for a very long, long time where he can never, ever hurt anyone — not another animal, woman, man, or child again."
While several media outlets — including Patch — continue to cover this ongoing story, Stone said she also plans to update her audience about what's happening in court, stories Forrest is featured in, updates on animal cruelty reform and photos and videos of the dog.
"We post everything that I would want to know if I was following Forrest's amazing story," she said. "We post things he would say if he could, we repeatedly post his position on the comprehensive bill, we interact with other's comments and their animals, people post pictures of their rescues and their stories and on and on."
Forrest has become a mascot of sorts, especially through the Facebook page, for animal rights activists.
"There are a lot of people who are fired up now that they understand that the seven bills died in the 129th General Assembly and therefore are demanding change. Everyone feels Ohio has to do better," said Stone. "I'd also like it to be a place for people to celebrate their pets."
So, what's not to "like?" Check out Forrest's page and tell everyone in the comments what you think about the dog's page.

"Outdoors For All" pays big smiles for rental use Outdoors For All is a wonderful organization that provides transportation, equipment, lessons, guides and companions for disabled folks taking them skiing, camping and even horse back riding.The first time we donated use of our giant sleeps 25 ski chateau they were so respectful that they slept in sleeping bags on the beds rather than muss the linens. The group started as Ski For All and has expanded into other areas of outdoor fun. When we later called to say that wasn't necessary the "Ski For All" staff just laughed. "You don't understand. Sleeping in the mountain in a sleeping bag, even if its in a toasty bedroom, is a big adventure for most of these kids." And that is when we realized how our little donation was a big deal for those who have less. If you want to make kids and disabled adults smile themselves to sleep please consider donating your rental to this great organization. You can find them at OutdoordsForAll.org.
