"Ukrainian leaders are intensifying calls for the European Union to offer a membership perspective"
Yeah, and I'm intensifying my calls to be as rich as Bill Gates and as goodlooking as a screen idol. Pigs are intensifying their calls to grow wings and fly to the moon.
I love this idea of Ukraine "demanding" to be let into the EU. What a bunch of hilarious sovok peasants run this country. The EU is itself in deep trouble and wouldn't now even let in a SUCCESSFUL country, much less a Third World failure gangster regime like Ukraine.
Why would the EU need Ukraine? Increasingly it will get the Russian energy without Ukrainian interference. EU citizens can get cheap cigarettes and Odessa sex-tourism without letting Ukraine into the EU.
Why would the EU offer anything to this sovok criminal state?
When Ukraine begins behaving in a normal civilized european way...
then maybe an offer can be considered.
But as of now Ukraine's 'leadership' doesn't qualify to be part of europe. They are criminals and thugs.
Yanokovich also didn't force the Ukrainian people to have a real estate bubble where Kiev real estate was worth more than Paris real estate.
He didn't force them to all go out and by huge black SUVs on credit from Austrian banks, even though the average salary in Ukraine is something under 300 USD per month.
They did that themselves.
Ukrainians are like the Greeks, if the Greeks had even worse finances, worse corruption, and no tourist money coming in. (And don't even get started on the weather, natural beauty, and cuisine differences with Greece)
No to the EU. The EU is being run by the satan worshipping new world order people who have flooded the west,western europe, USA,canada,australia, new zealand, with nonwhite imigrants, which has destroyed the west from within trojen horse style. ukraine and russia must stay slavic countries and stay slavic people. This is the only way to defeat the evil new world order.
Oh shut up.
at least their citizens can travel somewhere besides Egypt and Turkey.
Yanukonvicts regime is the main obstacle to EU membership.They have contstantly ignored EU demands with regard to democracy and freedom, not to mention the appauling conditions of the judiciary system.Until Yanukonvict pursues a genuine path towards democracy,the UE will be nothing but a distant dream for him and his mafia.Why would the EU want a bunch of criminals anyway.
I find their threats not to sign the association agreemet laughable.The EU is doing them a favour and wouldn't care less if they signed any agreements or not. Someone should remind these theives that "beggers can't be choosers!"
writer ukraine is russia....fuck off and go to the devil,respect ukraine
Why should anyone respect Ukraine? Any good reasons?
Respect can not be demanded it can only be earned. If Ukraine was allowed to become a true democracy and if it was able to demonstrate that it is capable of administrating rile of law then it would have respect.
Sadly Yushchenko's term of office undermined confidence in Ukraine's democratic development, setting it back decades if not generations.
Thank you for your courtesy to our students.
Ukraine should only be considered for EU membership is and when it adopts constitutional reform that brings Ukraine in line with other European States.
If Ukraine wants to be a member of the EU then it should follow in the footsteps of Estonia and Latvia and adopt a full parliamentary system of government. 25 out of 27 EU member states are parliamentary democracies. As long as Ukraine retains a presidential "rule by decree" system of governance it should not be considered considered for EU membership. To allow Ukraine under its current state would undermine stability of the EU.
If Yanukovich is REALLY serious about the Ukraine joining the EU then he should finally realize that the governments of Germany, France and the Netherlands don't really want the Ukraine as an associate member, let alone a full member. They are too afraid of Rasputin's Russia and will happily refuse to ratify the association and free trade treaty when Yulia, Lutsenko and the others are thrown into jail. He will have given them the excuse they need to kill any prospects the Ukraine has.
Furthermore, the Ukraine is nowhere near even beginning to comply with all the requirements of full membership. Even with the Ukrainian government proceeding at full speed to fully comply with all requirements, it will take at least ten years to reah that state of affairs. Plus, the country will have its hands more than full in meeting the requirements of the association and free trade treaty. But does Yanukovich have the brains to understand all this? It's all as simple as 1+1=2, but I wonder whether Yanukovich can even understand this simple arithmetic. His obsession with destroying all opposition at all costs prevents him from grasping this.
So, Viktor, it's no use demanding a full membership perspective while you are still persecuting Yulia, Lutsenko and the others. You won't even get the association and free trade treaty.
Бог дав мені розум.
OK boys and girls, it's like this...
Big Daddy Berlin and Top Cat Paris cannot hold the family with Old Lady Athens not contributing and Roma's reputation following her. Our Colleen's eyes are not always shining across the Atlantic as they once were nor is the matador Madrid sleek enough to entice the tourists to open their wallets. If they let our farm boy Kyiv into the family circle not only are they assured of not starving but also they won't freeze in the snow. Yes there are some rough edges on the kid like how to treat its Iron Lady, but no one is perfect. Clean Kyiv up a little and he does make a striking figure especially chasing after balls on the football field. Europe needs action to stimulate the younger generation after the baby boomers aborted a whole generation's inheritance of emersion European Christendom who feeds the poor and sick. Social individuality may demand democracy but does not invoke communal brotherhood.
One can only make a silk purse out of a sow's ear when it is being stroked to sing like strings on a fiddle, if you tan it's hide it dries up like a poker chip.
Presentation is everything, Ukrainians are playable. Ukraine is multifaceted. Ukrainian for our secrets.
Por and Yanukovych seem not to care about entry into the EU. The big question is what do the majority of Ukrainians think. Looks like there is a yen for ties with Russia. Freedom and democracy are not on the minds of the many? Still intimidated by the bogeyman Putin?
I don't understand why the EU is trying so hard to get countries to join there sinking Ship.
More people to bail out the sinking ship, LOL. It would cause inflation in the west, thus propping up the deflating EU.
Some of these comments sound, as if EU is a poor congregation of shit unfree countries. Yes of course, go on despising, what you can not get. This is a very healthy position of a really sick country.
Our children thank you for your courtesy to them.
The EU, is an inept model with no future, hopelessly parilysed by its own bureacracy cunningly disguised and paraded as democracy. Reference their inability to effectively deal with the financial crisis.
Even so called impoverished in EU live like kings compared to the average Russian.
EU doesn't admit Banana "republics" like Cuba, Belarus or Ukraine!
Bulgaria is a banana republic and its part of the EU.
And Bulgaria a much smaller population than Ukraine's
I didn't know Cuba was in Europe.
Yanukovych and Azarov are fools. The path to the EU is freedom and democracy - not a police state.
Without Yanukovych, the path to EU membership will become possible.
I just love the stench of corruption and inefficiency. That is what the mentality is all about. Keep the staus quo!!! Every time I walk on the streets, I say to myself "Somebody was thinking!" LOL. What a joke.

The Woodchucks scored three runs in the top of the first inning and never looked back, as they rode a timely offense and stellar pitching from starter Robby Medel and three relievers en route to defeating the Madison Mallards, 7-2, Tuesday night at Warner Park.
The victory, paired with La Crosse's loss at Willmar, moved the Woodchucks (17-10) to just a game and a half back of the first place Loggers and Lakeshore Chinooks in the Northwoods League South division, with seven games remaining in the first half.
Shortstop Eric Garza led off the Chucks' half of the first inning by reaching on an error on Madison second baseman Robbie Tenerowicz. Garza went to second on first baseman Jake Scudder's single, and with one out designated hitter Brendon Hayden loaded the bases with a single to left. Third baseman Paul DeJong got the scoring started on a ground ball through the left side, giving Wisconsin a 1-0 lead with the bases still loaded.
Left fielder Nate Mondou picked up an RBI by reaching on a fielder's choice out, and when he stole second base, Hayden came down from third, credited with a steal of home, giving the Chucks the 3-0 advantage.
Madison (15-11) answered with single tallies in the each of the first two frames against Medel, who then fired three scoreless innings.
Catcher Jack Klages drew a bases-loaded walk in the sixth inning, making the Chucks' lead 4-2. In the seventh, Mondou's two-out, two-run double made the score 6-2, while DeJong's two-out RBI single in the ninth inning, his fourth hit of the day, gave the Chucks the 7-2 lead.
Medel improved to 2-0 this season by firing five innings, surrendering just two runs on six hits, while striking out five and walking one.
Relievers Patrick Kenney and Sam Mahar fired scoreless sixth and seventh innings, respectively, while Kaylor Chafin worked around two singles in the ninth, closing out the game over the final two innings.
DeJong's four hits led the offensive charge, while Scudder, Hayden and Mondou each tallied two hits. DeJong tallied two RBIs, pushing his season total to 24, while Mondou had a season-high three and Klages one.
The Woodchucks are back in action Wednesday in the finale of their two-game series with the Mallards. First pitch from Warner Park is scheduled for 7:05 P.M. You can hear the game on Foxsports radio AM1390 & FM 93.9 at 6:45.

Make potty trainig easier
posted 5 years ago
My hamsters slept in the outhouse stored food in it when I first brought it home, but after they realized that the potty litter was not edible and that they should use the outhouse for a bathroom, they stopped leaving droppings all over the cage. The lid wasn't connected very well, but that made it easy to transition to an uncovered litter pan.
Pros: Keeps droppings contained
Cons: Slept in it at first

TwitterJokeTrial and the relationship of criminal law to social media
Readers' comments (5)
I agree with your comment that the tweet was "self evidently jokey"
With that in mind what concerns me is how the CPS concluded that the case was one that satisfied the public interest criteria that I understood had to be considered in the first place. They may feel justified in having taken the decision bearing in mind that so far the courts have found in their favour but the courts do not delve into whether the prosecution is one that should have been taken in the first place. It cannot be right that a jokey comment made to a select few leads to a law abiding citizen (as far as I am aware) having a criminal record with all the negative consequences that flow from that. This kind of heavy handed response can do nothing for public confidence in the police or CPS.
Really good post, David. Very clear on all the points, and very relevant to the case.
USENet has been around for thirty years. I've seen many directly and indirectly menacing messages on it. In many ways it's a similar vehicle to twitter.
It is perhaps unfortunate that s.127 is a summary only offence.It would have been interesting to hear a jury's view as to whether this message was of a menacing character.
@Anonymous - He should have had a jury. I jury would have laughed it out of court. I'm entirely convinced.
@(Philip Gibbons) - You are correct about the public interest considerations and that the courts have no jurisdiction over CPS decisions. The public interest stage is taken after the evidential stage though (or it is meant to be. I have my doubts in this case). The CPS have argued this time that Article 10 should be seen as having the effect of informing their public interest stage, rather than heightening the thresholds for evidence. I cannot accept this. Recent cases have shown that the CPS do not take free speech issues seriously. Also they are above scrutiny due to a qualified FOI exemption for "criminal investigations which the authority has the power to conduct."

El Paso, TX — With a critical game two in hand the Diablos came up with a huge win beating the Grand Prairie AirHogs 5-2, and tie the series at 1-1.
After a shaky first inning the Diablos settled in nicely throughout the game, starting pitcher Kevin Cooper got his first win of the season going 5.0 innings, only giving up two runs, on five hits with one strikeout.
The Diablos took the lead early on in the fourth inning, scoring two runs, third baseman Devin Thaut was brilliant once again collecting his second four hit game as a Diablo. After two more one run innings by the Diablos, it was a commanding 5-2 lead going into the seventh inning, the Diablos relief pitching stayed strong and closed out the game, and sealed another win for El Paso. What was even more impressive was the Diablos offense over Grand Prairie's Josh Strawn, who happens to be one of the Independent league's premier pitchers.
The Diablos are now 12-38 this season, with two more game against Grand Prairie in their four game series; the Diablos play tomorrow night, 7:05 here at Cohen Stadium!

The Potty Predicament
Whoever is out of patience is out of possession of his soul—Sir Francis Bacon
I bought a potty for my son before he turned a year old. It was one of the colorful, deluxe models with removable parts, a front-loading plastic bowl, and sure-grip sides. I'd been having glorious visions almost since I left the delivery room of my brilliant progeny fully trained and diaper-free by 18 months… heck, make that 15 months.
We'd be the envy of all my friends, whose deficient toddlers remained untrained at age two. I kept the commode in the closet for a few weeks, not wanting to place unrealistic expectations on my son. When I finally placed it, with much fanfare, in the bathroom, the child seemed delighted—he examined it closely, giggled and squealed while I beamed as I planned how to spend the money I'd save on diapers.
Over the next few months, however, the potty was transformed into a nagging symbol of intergenerational warfare. The first skirmish—over positioning—raged throughout the house and left me exhausted and demoralized. I would place the potty in the bathroom, only to return a few hours, minutes, or even seconds later to find it missing.
Soon thereafter, the potty's various parts would begin turning up in the closets, under my bed, in my husband's underwear drawer, in the backyard sandbox—even once floating in the birdbath. The bowl—the very heart of the contraption—was chewed on, colored on, used to collect toys, books, hairpins, even feminine hygiene products carelessly left within reach.
Something about the seat aroused my son's creative energies. Inexplicably, it elicited intricate crayon drawings and doubled as a playpen for his stuffed animals. As his strength, coordination, and intent grew, this fruit of my womb figured out how to fill the bowl from the bathtub; then he carried it around and slowly drained it in a trail of carpet—soaking spots. Eventually, despite my inadequate strategy, I won the battle by attrition. My son became bored.

The new Porsche 911 Carrera - world premiere at IAA Frankfurt Motor Show
- Select Make -

Force Motors
Land Rover
Mahindra Reva
Stuttgart | Aug 23, 2011
At 48 the Porsche 911 Carrera is younger than ever: The completely redesigned generation of the sports car icon is stepping into the limelight with its flat, stretched silhouette, exciting contours and precisely designed details. Yet from the very first glance it remains unmistakably a 911. True to the 911 tradition, the distinctive Porsche design language with its tendons and muscles exudes power and elegance.
The 100 millimetre longer wheelbase and reduced height combined with the up to 20-inch wheels underpin the athletic appearance. At the same time, the compact sports car exterior dimensions were retained. From a front perspective, attention is drawn to the wide-arched wings, the 911's trademark, that highlight the wider front track making the new 911 Carrera models sit even more solidly on the road. The remodelled exterior mirrors are accommodated on the upper edge of the door and not as before on the mirror triangle. Not only is this aerodynamically advantageous, it also emphasises the new design line and visual impression of width.
The all-new, lightweight body is an intelligent aluminium-steel construction. It is responsible for a significant proportion of the weight reduction of up to 45 kilograms combined with significantly greater rigidity. Due to aerodynamic optimisation measures, including a wider, variably extending rear spoiler, the lift of the new 911 Carrera could be further reduced, while retaining a good Cd value.
To complement the modern exterior design, the
designers created a new interior based on cues from the Porsche Carrera GT. The driver is now even more closely integrated with the cockpit thanks to the centre console rising up to the front with the high-mounted shift lever located especially close to the steering wheel in typical motor sport fashion. Like in the exterior design, classic Porsche elements can also be found in the interior: the instrument cluster with five round instruments of which one of them is a high resolution multifunction screen, the central rev counter and the ignition lock to the left of the steering wheel.
Setting the standard in its class, as it has for generations, the new
Carrera and Carrera S raise the performance and efficiency bar yet another notch. All versions get by with significantly less than ten litres of fuel per 100 kilometres. Fuel consumption and emissions are up to 16 per cent lower compared to preceding models. Among other things, this result is achieved by systems and functions such as auto start/stop, thermal management, electrical system recuperation, the world's first seven-speed manual transmission and the so-called "sailing" function, in vehicles equipped with the Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK). The new electro-mechanical power steering offers not only Porsche's typical precision and response but also helps to increase efficiency and reduces the general fuel consumption.
The 911 Carrera with the new 350 hp 3.4-litre boxer engine and optional PDK consumes a mere 8.2 litres per 100 kilometres based on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), 1.6 l/100 km less than its predecessor. Also, with an emission level of 194 g/km CO2, it is the first Porsche sports car to make it below the 200 g/km mark. The new Carrera S features a 3.8-litre boxer engine delivering 400 hp. Its fuel consumption when equipped with the optional PDK is reduced by 14 per cent (1.5 l/100 km) to 8.7 l/100 km, despite offering 15 hp more horse power. That equates to CO2 emissions of 205 g/km.
At the same time several performance improvements have been implemented for both models. The Carrera S with PDK manages to accelerate from nought to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. Pressing the Sport Plus button of the optional Sport Chrono package, cuts that to 4.1 seconds. The Carrera with PDK needs only 4.6 seconds (Sport Plus: 4.4 seconds) to sprint from a standing start to 100 km/h.
The new 911 does not just offer better longitudinal dynamics but also a top performance at an unprecedented level in terms of transverse dynamics. In addition to the longer wheelbase, greater agility, precision and driving stability are mainly based on the wider front track, the new rear axle and the new electro-mechanical power steering. Depending on the model, there are other standard or optional active control systems available that further enhance the vehicle's driving dynamics, including the optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active roll stabilisation system which is available on the 911 Carrera S for the first time. The system reduces lateral inclination when cornering by ensuring that tyres are in an optimal position relative to the road surface and thus able to transmit higher lateral forces. As a result, maximum cornering speeds are increased; even faster lap times on racing circuits are possible.
With the new 911 Carrera the span of apparently contradictory attributes that have typified the Porsche 911, such as performance and efficiency, sportiness and everyday practicality has been even further extended. That makes the 911 Carrera more of a 911 than ever. The new model celebrates its world premiere at the 2011 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show.

AK-74 parts
Presently, almost every person in the world is convinced that one of the most advanced and sophisticated military industries in the world was that of the Soviet Union. It was the hard day-and-night work of the Soviet military engineers that eventually lead to such situation. These brilliant minds were trying extremely hard to develop and introduce the ultimate weapons of all kinds for the Soviet Red Army to use. The quality of these weapons was really outstanding, - so, many of these weapons have become world-renown and are still employed in the armies of many countries of the world. It seems that the best example to illustrate such popularity is the AK (Kalashnikov assault rifle) firearm series. Currently, AK rifles are available in numerous variations and modifications.
The first model of the AK firearm series was introduced in the late 1940s, soon after the World War II. It was a really sophisticated at that time. However, by the 1970s the Soviet Army realized that AK-47 was slightly outdated and needed to be modernized. That's when Soviet military engineering science once again employed its brilliant minds to create the new, improved version of the AK. Each and every single part of the AK-47 was reconsidered and improved. Among the improved parts of the new AK-47 gun model, there were mags, stock, and other parts. And so, finally, in the early 1970s AK-74 gun was introduced. If compare AK-47 with its direct descendant, the main advantages of the AK-47 is that its parts would be lighter, making the new rifle more compact, as well as easier and more convenient to carry.
Our Ak-parts.com online store is proud to have included all kinds of AK-74 parts into our online catalogue. We have worked hard to make our catalogue of AK-74 parts not only rich with items, but also convenient for the user to browse. So, we humbly offer our customers - the collectors, as well as other people interested in AK-74 parts - to browse our convenient online catalogue, pick and easily order the AK-74 mags, AK-74 stocks, as well as other AK-47 parts you may want, from our online store.

Mom-Tested Baby Slings & Carriers
We put 15 carriers and slings to the test. Check out what our mommy testers had to say, and find the one that's right for your bambino.
Maya Wrap Lightly Padded Sling
You know that a baby carrier is a new-mom must-have, with magical baby-soothing powers and the ability to give you your hands back. (Finally!) But there are so many to choose from -- which one should you pick?
We looked at virtually every carrier on the market before we narrowed the field to 15 to test. We asked real moms to put them through the paces -- nursing, taking walks, even unloading the dishwasher (if they felt it was safe). Here's what worked and what didn't:
What It Is: A long piece of fabric that's threaded through rings to make a pouch for baby.
Recommended Weight Range: Up to 35 pounds
Price: $55.95
Why We Love It: There's extra padding on the shoulder (where you need it most) and we like the built-in pocket that just fits your keys and a few bucks for those quick trips out.
One Thing We'd Change: Both of our testers thought this sling had just too much fabric and in some positions, was too long. It's available in four sizes, but the ranges are pretty broad: Small fits people under 5'2", Medium fits 5'2" to 5'9", Large is over 5'9", and Extra Large fits a large frame.
What the Real Moms Say:
"I could easily bend down to help one of my toddlers, but I wouldn't wear this sling while unloading dishes or doing laundry -- it didn't feel that secure. I love the video demonstrations on the Maya Wrap web site, and also like that the sling goes up to her shoulder blades and keeps her snug against me." -- Cindy (shown), Minneapolis, Minnesota; mom to Julia, 9 months, 17 pounds
"I thought the Maya Wrap was beautiful, and I loved the idea of carrying my baby in it, but it didn't work at all for Kara. It doesn't allow any room for movement, and she'd scream until I took her out. The fabric is gorgeous and machine washable, but with a baby as "healthy" (approximately 16 pounds) as mine, I wouldn't feel completely comfortable wearing it without also supporting her with my arm." -- Bree, Indianapolis, Indiana; mom to Kara, 3 months, 16 pounds
Moby Wrap
What It Is: One long piece of material, which you fashion into a sling with the help of an instructional video. There are seven different single baby holds, plus two for twins.
Recommended Weight Range: Up to 35 pounds
Price: $39.95-$44.95
Why We Love It: There are no rings, seams or clasps to dig into your skin -- or baby's. Also, the fabric is so soft and the weight so evenly distributed, it's one of the most comfortable wraps we've tried (for single babies, at least). And it's great for newborns all the way up to toddlers.
One Thing We'd Change: Even though the included instructions and online video clip are straightforward, you really have to carve out some time to master the many holds. Our mom of twins wasn't impressed.
What Real Moms Say:
"I really loved the Moby Wrap. I have a BabyBjorn and also a WalaBaby sling but I prefer this wrap -- it's the most comfortable and can be worn in many positions. I wore the wrap for the better part of an afternoon, and I was surprised at how comfy it was. I took a walk, dried dishes, folded laundry, watched TV, and nursed in the wrap (which was easy to do because the wrap keeps the baby so close to you)." -- Stephanie, Elmhurst, Illinois; mom to Josie, 4 months, 13.5 pounds
"With twins, I need things to be easy. It takes some effort to tie on the Moby and takes a couple minutes to get the fabric in place before you can put a baby in. I thought there was too much fabric and the sling would be bulky in my diaper bag. Actually, it felt bulky to even wear. There is a twin hold, but my twins wouldn't tolerate their legs being squished and pressed against one another -- they both cried while in the Moby." -- Alexis (shown), Maple Valley, Washington; mom to twins Evan (shown) and Greta, 7 weeks, 8 pounds, 6 ounces and 7 pounds, 5 ounces respectively
Kangaroo Korner Adjustable Pouch
What It Is: A sling pouch with four snap settings so you can adjust its size. It can be worn in five positions.
Recommended Weight Range: Up to 25 pounds for mesh; up to 40 pounds for fleece
Price: $62.00-$66.00
Why We Love It: Adjustments only take a few seconds -- and because it can be made to fit baby's (and your) ever-changing body, this one's great for the brand-new mom.
One Thing We'd Change: This sling is so great for little ones -- too bad you have to retire it when your baby becomes a toddler.
What the Real Moms Say:
"Samira likes it. She doesn't cry getting in or out, and seems very comfortable in the mesh carrier. I like how she seems to fit inside well, and it definitely feels safe and secure. Also, it fits my body perfectly and was easy to adjust." -- Sudha (shown), Brooklyn, New York; mom to Samira, 7 weeks, 9 pounds, 12 ounces
"The fleece sling was very user friendly. I could just throw it around me, drop the baby in, and quickly make adjustments. The broad fabric panel that goes around the back made it more comfortable than other slings I've tried. I didn't have any neck/shoulder strain, but because Audrey was off to the side, I felt some strain on one side. It was very comfortable for Audrey, and fit snugly like swaddling." -- Jennifer, Bothell, Washington; mom to Audrey, 4 months, 15 pounds
Maclaren Techno Carrier
What It Is: A classic front carrier with a pod insert for newborns.
Recommended Weight Range: Up to 25 pounds
Price: $84.99
Why We Love It: Extra padding means your newborn is extra secure and cozy. Plus, it's easy to clean and the quilting adds a bit of preppy polish.
One Thing We'd Change: There are lots of buckles to figure out -- both our moms had some trouble getting the carrier on and correctly adjusted.
What the Real Moms Say:
"I like how the Maclaren carrier is hip-looking and seems easy to clean. I felt comfortable using it while doing household chores, and was able to because Kara's arms and legs were free (she isn't a fan of being restrained)." -- Bree (shown), Indianapolis, Indiana; mom to Kara, 3 months, 16 pounds
"The instructions were a little difficult to follow, and I had a very hard time adjusting the carrier while I was wearing it. The cloth material looks nice, but it seems like it could get dirty pretty easily (especially with baby drool). Samira thought it was okay -- she was calm when I was standing, but didn't like it when I was sitting. Overall I think Maclaren should stick to designing strollers." -- Sudha, Brooklyn, New York; mom to Samira, 7 weeks, 9 pounds, 12 ounces
Chicco You & Me Infant Carrier
What It Is: A classic front carrier with lumbar support. Baby can face in or out.
Recommended Weight Range: 10 to 26 pounds
Price: $99.00
Why We Love It: With lots of adjustment options, like how high or low on your chest you want to carry your baby, you can customize the fit. Also, the lumbar support is ventilated -- good news since babywearing gets hot.
One Thing We'd Change: It's not as easy as other carriers to adjust while you're wearing it -- making it harder sometimes to find the just right position and support.
What the Real Moms Say:
"After a little while my lower back began to hurt, and even though I kept adjusting the lumbar support, it never felt 100 percent comfortable. It was a little hard to get Josie out because I had to hold her with one hand and undo the buckles with the other (which took some practice, especially with a squirmy baby). Dad said, 'It's just like our BabyBjorn!' which is true, but my back didn't feel as supported." -- Stephanie (shown), Elmhurst, Illinois; mom to Josie, 4 months, 13.5 pounds
"My husband loves this carrier. He said it is practically 'Mil-Spec' (military specifications) and is very comfortable showing it off in public. Also, it fits all of his 6-foot-3-inch, 250-pound frame very well and he's less annoyed than I am with all the straps and adjustments. The back support was great -- I wasn't sore at all" -- Jennifer, Bothell, Washington; mom to Audrey, 4 months, 15 pounds
BabyBjorn Synergy
What It Is: The best-known front carrier on the market.
Recommended Weight Range: 8 to 26 pounds
Price: $132.00
Why We Love It: The Bjorn's attained cult status for good reason: It's sturdy, comfortable, and easy to use -- once you get the hang of it. This latest model from Bjorn combines the Air model's cool, mesh fabric with the superior lumbar support of the Active.
One Thing We'd Change: More color options. Currently available in basic black and soon-to-be dirty white, it would be great to choose from other colors or patterns (especially since it seems like everyone has this one). Also, it's not as good for calming a fussy baby as some of the cozier slings.
What the Real Moms Say:
"Bjorns are fairly generic and not as 'natural' seeming as many of the hip slings out there, but the fact is they work. I can do almost any household task while wearing it. Zoe is secure, and I don't ever feel like she'll fall out. As a bonus, Dad loves it, and after wearing it for two hours, I felt great -- not sore at all." -- Emilie, Maplewood, New Jersey; mom to Zoe, 3 months, 12 pounds
"The biggest thing I discovered while testing the Bjorn is that it's only right for certain situations like getting out and about, or doing chores while walking around. It's perfect for these tasks because it's very secure, and cool enough to leave the baby in for a long time. If you're just sitting at home and you want to calm a fussy baby while relaxing, this is not the carrier to use -- a snuggly one that allows you to sit comfortably would be better." -- Kerri (shown), Seattle, Washington; mom to Natalie, 7 weeks, 10 pounds
Evenflo Snugli Performance
What It Is: A front carrier that's made of breathable mesh.
Recommended Weight Range: 7 to 26 pounds
Price: $29.99
Why We Love It: It's extremely lightweight and Bjorn-esque -- but about a quarter the price.
One Thing We'd Change: The Auto-Fit back straps save you from having to adjust to find the perfect fit, but they don't do much for lower back support.
What the Real Moms Say:
"This is one of the most comfortable baby carriers I've tried. The support straps are well padded and distribute the baby's weight evenly on my upper back and shoulders. Dad loved the comfort, how easy it was to put on, and the little pocket on the front that could be used for storing keys or other small objects. Sienna liked it too -- she often fell asleep within minutes of being in the carrier." -- Mary Jo (shown), Kirkland, Washington; mom to Sienna, 2 months, 11.5 pounds
"Putting this carrier on by yourself isn't hard, but you can't do it without reading the instructions first (trust me, I tried!). I like the mesh, breathable fabric, but hate all the buckles -- I feel like they could break over time or could easily catch my (or my baby's) fingers." -- Rebecca, Brooklyn, New York; mom to Carter, 4 months, 16 pounds, 4 ounces
New Native Sling
What It Is: One big loop of fabric with a pouch for your babe.
Recommended Weight Range: Up to 35 pounds
Price: $54.00
Why We Love It: New Native is committed to charity, donating tons of carriers to disadvantaged moms -- and we're happy to support their cause. We love the simplicity of this sling, and the pouch makes it super easy to figure out where baby sits.
One Thing We'd Change: Sizing can be a little tricky. The company recommends you test the fit with your baby inside it so you may have to go to a store to purchase (or order online and be prepared to do a return if the fit's not right). Also, as one of our moms found out, the sling can shrink a lot after the recommend washing and drying -- something that may make returns difficult so be sure to check the store's return policy before buying.
What the Real Moms Say:
"I have another sling that I loved when Elle was tiny, but I think I like the construction of the New Native better -- it seems a better fit. I liked how it was easy to put her down for a nap -- all you have to do is lean over and lay her on the bed. Elle likes the carrier because it seems to give her the same feeling of being held and I love the company and their philosophy." -- Caroline (shown), Charleston, South Carolina; mom to "Elle" (Mitchell Evelyn), 9 months, 16 pounds
"I was able to nurse in the carrier, but when I sat down it got so loose that I really just used it as a cover. I think it fit me properly, but it still felt like she was very far away -- the baby rides down on your stomach and I like other carriers where I can reach down to kiss her." -- Kerri, Seattle, Washington; mom to Natalie, 7 weeks, 10 pounds
What It Is: A pouch carrier that can be worn at least three different ways that are demonstrated on the enclosed DVD.
Recommended Weight Range: Up to 35 pounds
Price: $30.00-$60.00
Why We Love It: The prints are so cool and eye-catching no one will notice that spit-up on your shirt. Plus, it comes in nine different sizes (from the clothing equivalent of petite to 3X) so you can get a perfect fit.
One Thing We'd Change: Some babies find it hard to get comfortable in this sling.
What the Real Moms Say:
"The way you put on the sling is fairly intuitive, so I didn't have to take more than a quick glance at the instructions -- which is key when you have two crying babies. The "extra" for the Hotsling is its printed fabric. I love it. I felt like it was an attractive accessory to my outfit, and I even liked the way it cut across my body -- I felt attractive! Greta fell asleep in it within two minutes -- that's her seal of approval." -- Alexis, Maple Valley, Washington; mom to twins Evan and Greta, 7 weeks, 8 pounds, 6 ounces and 7 pounds, 5 ounces
"I really wanted to like the Hotsling, but most of the time Zoe just couldn't get comfortable in it. She did fall asleep in the cradle carry position once, but the couple times we tried the front carry position she'd arch her back and wail. I was able to breastfeed in it, but I think it's easier when you just take the whole thing off. I do like how the Hotsling is super portable -- it's easy to fit right into a diaper bag." -- Emilie (shown), Maplewood, New Jersey; mom to Zoe, 3 months, 12 pounds
EllaRoo Mei Tai
What It Is: A tie-on carrier that can be worn in front or in back.
Recommended Weight Range: Up to 35 pounds
Price: $94.00
Why We Love It: The Mei Tai also has a headrest that folds down and stays put with the smart magnetic snap.
One Thing We'd Change: Because this carrier can be tied on in all sorts of ways, the straps are really long -- sometimes too long and in the way. Also, baby's legs straddle mom's back, a position that might not be comfortable for all kids.
What the Real Moms Say:
"My baby didn't love this carrier, but I think it's her age -- she's restless and busy, and also seems a little too tall for it. I like how the carrier fits me (the back position is best because it gives mama the most freedom), but the straps are a little cumbersome and sometimes awkward. I'm worried also that it's not comfortable for Elle -- she has to have her legs spread so wide apart." -- Caroline (shown), Charleston, South Carolina; mom to "Elle" (Mitchell Evelyn), 9 months, 16 pounds
"The carrier was surprisingly comfortable and I didn't have any back or shoulder pain after carrying Sienna for several hours. It's adjustable for any size person. Dad tried it and thought it was very comfortable, had good support, and was easy to use. I ended up tying the wrap around behind Sienna's back, instead of underneath her, so that she could fit snug against me, but she still tended to 'slump down' over time." -- Mary Jo, Kirkland, Washington; mom to Sienna, 2 months, 11.5 pounds
Parents of Invention Ultimate Baby Mei Tai
What It Is: A carrier that can be worn on your hip, front, or back -- and infants can face forward with feet tucked in.
Recommended Weight Range: 8 to 35 pounds
Price: $39.99
Why We Love It: The instructions are easy to follow for each of the five carrying positions. Do and Don't illustrations are included so it's super simple to make sure you're wearing it just right.
One Thing We'd Change: The neck support doesn't come up very far, so this may be a better carrier for older babies. Also, if you've got back problems, you might need something with more lumbar support.
What the Real Moms Say:
"I was able to walk around the neighborhood easily pushing a stroller. Because this carrier puts the baby's weight on your waist and hips it didn't hurt at all, and actually makes my baby feel lighter than he really is! I also like the versatility: There are back and hip carry options and because it ties, it can easily adjust and fit to any body type." -- Rebecca (shown), Brooklyn, New York; mom to Carter, 4 months, 16 pounds, 4ounces
"The Parents of Invention carrier was very easy to figure out and Tess seemed comfortable in it -- especially when she was positioned facing against me, which was very snuggly. She fit well in the Mei Tai, but it was uncomfortable for me to wear for any length of time. Maybe I am just sensitive to these things, but my shoulders were killing me after wearing the carrier for 15 minutes." -- Jenny, Brooklyn, New York; mom to Tess, 6 months, 16 pounds
What It Is: A high-end carrier with pockets and pouches galore.
Recommended Weight Range: 15 to 35 pounds
Price: $149.00-$200 (+)
Why We Love It: Leave the diaper bag at home -- there are pockets for your phone, a bottle holder, and even a diaper wallet that attaches at the waist.
One Thing We'd Change: This carrier comes with a hefty price tag, and if you have an infant, you'll have to purchase an extra insert to use this one for babies under 15 pounds. Also, our moms reported feeling like they had to keep a hand on their babes out of fear they'd fall backward.
What the Real Moms Say:
"Noah loved the PortaMEe. He liked playing with the straps and being close. The fit was okay, but since he's so heavy and tall (24 pounds), I felt that he could easily bend over backwards which worried me. I think that the heavier the child is, the harder this carrier might be to use." -- Stephanie (shown), Brooklyn, New York; mom to Noah, 8 months, 24 pounds
"I loved the look of the PortaMEe -- very high-end materials and design. Tess seemed happy in it, and even fell asleep, but I always felt like I had to have my arm around her to keep her upright. She liked looking around while we walked outside, and I liked that I could see her face and kiss her. I did think it was pretty uncomfortable to wear for more than a few minutes, though -- it dug into my shoulder like I was wearing the heaviest messenger bag in the world!"
-- Jenny, Brooklyn, New York; mom to Tess, 6 months, 16 pounds
Peanut Shell
What It Is: A simple pouch style carrier with five positions.
Recommended Weight Range: Up to 36 pounds
Price: $45.00-$49.00
Why We Love It: Even though this is basically just a loop of fabric, there's a handy pocket on the front that can hold a burp cloth or keys and a loop where you can attach a small toy. Plus, the prints are just gorgeous.
One Thing We'd Change: There isn't too much stretch in this fabric, making correct sizing super important (available in S-XL).
What the Real Moms Say:
"After wearing the sling for an hour my shoulders and neck were somewhat tired, but I think it's more comfortable than the Bjorn by far. It was easy to breastfeed Libby in the sling, but I didn't like how it doesn't allow for burping right after feeding. I loved that there were no belts to adjust and that the material was soft, cute, and machine washable. I did get a little hot after Libby fell asleep-- next time I would dress with one less layer." -- Allison (shown), Minneapolis, Minnesota; mom to Libby, 4 months, 12 pounds
"Eli was antsy getting in, but once I started moving around he became more comfortable and enjoyed the ride. It pulled a little against my shoulder and neck, but I love the design and the lightweight fabric. It folds up nicely, so I can bring it along when we go for a walk and use it if Eli gets tired." -- Elizabeth, New York, New York; mom to Eli, 15 months, 25 pounds
What It Is: A front, back, and hip carrier that snaps over the shoulders and around the waist.
Recommended Weight Range: Up to 40 pounds
Price: $92.00
Why We Love It: This thing's strength-tested up to 90 pounds, so if your back can take it, it's a great option for carrying older babies and toddlers.
One Thing We'd Change: Getting baby into the back carry position as the instructions recommend can be a little tricky with a wiggly wee one. Our tester made it work for her by sitting in front of her son on a bed and scooting him in before pulling on the straps.
What the Real Moms Say:
"I like the Ergo much more than the Bjorn because of its padded straps -- they make a world of difference. The waist belt helps to distribute the baby's weight over the hips, too, which makes him feel much lighter than if I were only carrying the weight on my shoulders." -- Melanie (shown), Brooklyn, New York; mom to Benjamin, 10.5 months, 21 pounds
"Noah loves it. He likes playing with the straps and being close. I thought this carrier was the best by far of any others I've tried. The straps were nice and padded for comfort and I really liked how you can use this carrier in different positions. It's super easy to take the baby out of the carrier and I liked how the directions were easy to understand." -- Stephanie, Brooklyn, New York; mom to Noah, 8 months, 24 pounds
Sherpani Rumba Superlight
What It Is: A sturdy frame carrier with tons of storage space.
Recommended Weight Range: Up to 55 pounds
Price: $159.00
Why We Love It: You need not give up hiking post-baby with this substantial carrier, which is a great option for older babies and toddlers. It's so comfy that a squirmy 2-year-old fell fast asleep in it. And it functions like a backpack too, with space for bottles, diapers, and snacks.
One Thing We'd Change: This big carrier comes with a surprisingly small instruction booklet that doesn't have the handy illustrations other carriers provide to help you make sure you're wearing it right.
What the Real Moms Say:
"It's a very comfortable carrier and feels like you're wearing a comfortable backpack. The waist and shoulder straps are adjustable and fit nicely and I love the accessories: a small front pouch can hold cash and keys, a perfectly sized bottle/sippy cup holder attaches to the side, and there's also a very roomy storage area for diapers or a change of clothes." -- Elizabeth (shown), New York, New York; mom to Eli, 15 months, 25 pounds
"I don't think we were ever able to adjust it just right, but Dad loved it. As soon as it came, he put it on and went outside for walk. Javier likes being so tall and now points at the carrier to go in whenever he sees it. It's a gorgeous pack that feels like an outdoorsy adult pack that carries your baby, not a baby carrier." -- Holly, Ashburn, Virginia; mom to Javier, 16 months, 25 pounds

Life With a Four Year Old, Mo' Molnar Please, and Be My (Cheap) Valentine
Life With a Four Year Old
It's hard to believe that our little hallway of a wine store has been around for four years now. And by the looks of things, we're going to be around for a long, long, long time thanks to you all. So we'd like to take this moment to ask you to be our valentine. Please. We heart you quite a bit. If we had one of those little chalky, weird candy hearts with sayings on them, ours would say, "hey, thanks for being such fantastic, loyal customers for these last four years...we love you and we'll continue to find fantstic wine that doesn't empty our your wallet". Now, this candy heart of course would be slightly larger than most in order to fit all that text on it, but anything can be arranged for our valentine.....that's you. You know, those candy hearts are the brainchild of some mad marketing genius because they really taste like pool cue chalk....they're terrible.
So, please join us this Saturday to celebrate our 4 year anniversary with discounted wines-by-the-glass from 1-11pm and free Brownstone Pizza from 4-6pm. Lovebirds welcome...
Mo' Molnar, Please
These are truly some of the most unique california wines in our store and now they are also some of the best deals for your dollar.
Molnar began back in the late 1960s when Nicholas Molnar discovered Napa Valley. The wines of Napa reminded him of his homeland of Hungary (from which he had just managed to escape Communist rule in 1956), he decided that this was the place and began buying land and developing vineyards throughout Napa Valley. In 1973, he developed Poseidons Vineyard, in the Carneros
In the early 90's they were first movers again, establishing the Obsidian Ridge Vineyard in the Red Hills appellation of Lake County before it was an actual appellation. This cab is now easily the best deal in cabernet we offer.
Molnar Family Poseidon's Vineyard Chardonnay 2006, Carneros
"The 2006 Chardonnay exhibits vanilla, caramel, tropical fruit, and lemon blossom characteristics as well as a lovely texture, admirable elegance and freshness, and a long finish. Enjoy it over the next 1-2 years. Former Acacia winemaker, Michael Terrien, runs this project, producing limited quantities of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir."
~ Robert Parker, 90pts
"Ripe and oaky, with luscious flavors of pineapples, green apple butter, buttered toast and caramel, undergirded by a stony minerality."
~ Wine Enthusiast
Obsidian Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Red Hills, Lake County
(this wine is $29.99 at Wally's for those of you keeping score)
"Named after the famed black marble-like soils called Obsidian, this fairly priced Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County, made by Michael Terrien, reveals plenty of potential. Attractive red and black currant fruit intermixed with notions of damp earth, licorice, and spice box are found in this round, juicy, seductive, medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. It is ideal for drinking over the next 5-6 years."
~ Robert Parker, 89pts

ModSecurity SVM Bypass Charity Challenge
Jun 2nd, 2013Managed Security3
Posted on June 2nd, by Josh Zlatin
I am happy to announce the ModSecurity SVM Bypass Charity Challenge. This is a SQL Injection, XSS and Path Traversal Filter Evasion Challenge. Similar to the Trustwave ModSecurity SQLi Challenge, I setup ModSecurity to proxy to the following four commercial vulnerability scanner demo sites:
As these are 3rd party web apps, please test your payloads below first to ensure that they bypass the filter before automating attacks against the vulnerable web apps.
Challenge Goals
Participant GoalsTo successful execute SQLi, XSS or Path Traversal against the scanning vendor demo websites.
To test the added protection that SVM attack classification adds when protecting vulnerable web apps. The source code for the scripts used for this challenge are available here:
SQLi Challenge. The demo used in the challenge relied on the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) to classify attacks. The CRS is basically a sophisticated regular expression which essentially returns a binary result. The attack payload either matches or does not match the regexes. While this approach can provide a base level of protection, the speed in which the SQLi Challange was solved highlighted the weakness in using this approach. Ryan Barnett proposed several solutions to this problem. One approach was to leverage Bayesian analysis to identify attacks that successfully bypass the CRS rules. While I was initially excited about the concept, the more I tested it, the more apparent it became that even with significant training the false negative rate was too high for production use.
| ModSecurity Alert Message:
TX ID: UatFAn8AAQEAACXaA64AAAAC
Please submit any successful bypasses to: jzlatin at purehacking dot com. The first person to succesfully bypass the SVM filter will receive a free ticket to AppSecUSA, a $995 value (thanks Tom!). In addition, during the month of June, I will donate $100 from my personal funds for each of the first five bypasses received to charity.
AcknowledgementsA special thanks to Christian Bockermann for his constant support with my machine learning queries and Ryan Barnett for his invaluable feedback while developing the ModSecurity SVM module.

It's almost difficult to make headlines these days with a "first-ever" in the hybrid department, since it's the buzzword of the moment. But there indeed has been another first-ever: the conversion of a traditional school bus to a hydraulic hybrid that runs on recycled biofuel. Ford has partnered with George Tech on the Green Eco School Bus, the first of its kind in the nation.
The program has been financed by a $50,000 Ford College Community Challenge Grant, one of five given annually for a student-led project that matches university resources with an urgent community need related to sustainability. And you know global sustainability is near and dear to the heart of Ford as part of its "Reduce, reuse and recycle" commitment.
"Together with Georgia Tech and Atlanta Public Schools, we are taking innovation from the classroom to the community," said Jim Vella, President, Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services. "This is a noteworthy example of the types of programs we are bringing to Atlanta as part of our new Operation Goodwill partnership with local Ford and Lincoln dealers with the goal of expanding our engagement with this community."
Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services works with community partners to advance driving safety, education and American heritage and community life. It has been in existence for more than 60 years with ongoing funding from Ford Motor Company.
The bus project focuses on converting existing school buses to hydraulic hybrids, which could lower greenhouse emissions and reduce transportation costs for schools. Michael Leamy, Georgia Tech Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and his students have designed and developed the hydraulic hybrid system for the 16-passenger school bus, and its installation is nearly complete. Meanwhile, students at Mary Lin Elementary School are painting the Green Eco School Bus green and organizing a drive to collect used cooking oil for processing into biodiesel, a renewable energy source.
"We expect our research will lead to cleaner, more efficient school buses that will help school districts like APS significantly reduce fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions," Michael added.

Pesticide Drift from Ground Applications
PDF Format (632kb)
Table of Contents
This Factsheet explains causes of spray drift, ways to reduce spray drift, key steps if pesticide drift is suspected and the legal responsibility of those who spray pesticides.
Pesticide drift is the aerial movement and unintentional deposit of pesticide outside the target area. There are two forms of pesticide drift.
Why Be Concerned About Drift?
The potential impact of pesticide drift includes:
There are also legal responsibilities and liabilities associated with all these issues.
Figure 1. 2,4-D drift damage on grape leaves.
Figure 2. Glyphosate drift damage on a tomato
All spray operators need to be concerned about pesticide drift and must make efforts to mitigate drift in all forms. While some level of drift either during or after an application will always occur, understanding the factors that affect it can minimize its effects.
Factors Affecting Drift
The factors that cause drift are a combination of:
The key environmental conditions are: wind velocity and direction, temperature and relative humidity. The most important spray practices involve the spray quality produced by the sprayer, the distance between nozzle and target, and the travel speed of the sprayer. Each factor is described below.
Environmental Conditions
|Wind Condition
|Wind Speed
|Visible Signs
|0-2 km/h (0-1.25 mph)
|May lead to vapour drift where finer droplets remain suspended in the air, prone to evaporation and drift long after spraying is completed
|Smoke rises vertically
|Do not spray
|Not applicable
|Wind direction is unpredictable and may indicate an inversion
|Direction keeps changing
|Do not spray
|Light air
|2-3.2 km/h (1.25-2 mph)
|Suitable for spraying
|Direction shown by smoke
|Light to gentle breeze
|3.2-9.6 km/h (2-6 mph)
|Ideal for spraying
|Leaves rustle, wind felt on face, twigs in motion
|High wind
|9.6-16 km/h (6-10 mph)
|Higher wind speeds pose the most obvious risk of drift through, around or over the target
|Small branches move, raises dust
|Spray with caution or do not spray
Do not spray during periods of dead calm. These periods may occur in early morning or late evening, when the temperature is usually cooler and the relative humidity is typically higher. This combination of factors can result in drift-sized droplets staying in the field. When the wind picks up, these spray droplets can move away from the target area, possibly causing injury to adjacent non-target areas. This is of particular concern with certain herbicides when they drift onto sensitive neighbouring crops.
Hot and dry conditions increase drift because droplets rapidly evaporate and become fine droplets, vapour or particles of concentrated pesticide. On hot days the land also warms, giving rise to upward convection currents that carry droplets above the crop canopy during spraying. Lateral air movements then transport these particles as far as several kilometres from the target area.
Hydraulic nozzle tips are classified by their spray patterns, flow rates and average droplet size; this is called "spray quality". When the operating pressure changes, the average droplet size also changes. For example, a nozzle that produces a medium spray at low pressure would produce a finer spray when pressure is increased.
Generally, finer droplets provide better coverage but are more likely to evaporate and drift. They slow down quickly once they leave the nozzle opening, take a much longer time to get from the nozzle to the target and do not penetrate dense canopies without air assistance. Coarser droplets resist evaporation and, because they have more momentum, are not easily deflected by wind. But they are more likely to bounce and run off the target and provide less coverage.
Consider these two options carefully when selecting nozzles, operating pressures and travel speeds.
The droplet size classification system (very fine to extremely coarse) uses "volume median diameter" (VMD), which is a manufacturer's term to describe the average droplet size produced by a nozzle (see Table 2). This system was developed for flat fan nozzles spraying into still air under specific conditions and should not be used to classify cone-pattern nozzles, such as those produced by disc-core or disc-whirl nozzles. Generally, cone-pattern nozzles produce finer particles than most flat fans used in horticulture because they operate at high pressure, encounter shear from air assistance and are sprayed over larger distances.
Once released, spray droplet size decreases rapidly through evaporation and/or volatilization. As the release height above the target or crop canopy increases, the potential for spray drift also increases. The same holds true for the distance between an airblast nozzle or vertical boom and the target.
See the impact droplet size and environmental conditions have on particle drift. Developed by researchers with the United States Department of Agriculture, "DRIFTSIM" is an easy-to-use computer program that predicts drift distances of spray droplets under a wide variety of conditions. It can be found at www.ars.usda.gov/services/software/download.htm?softwareid=252.
|Volume Median Diameter (microns)
|very fine
|highly susceptible to drift - not advised
|very fine/fine
|attaches to under-leaf surfaces, but tends to remain in the air
|lands on stems and narrow leaves
|lands on large flat surfaces, like broadleaf weeds, but may bounce
|coarse/very coarse
|wind tolerant, but will run off crop
While drift-reducing adjuvants are available, check to ensure they are compatible with the pesticide in use. If not compatible, they can change the spray quality. This could damage the crop, make coverage uneven and/or reduce canopy penetration. Test a small area before adopting on a large scale. As well adjuvants can break down and become ineffective when used in tanks with paddle or hydraulic agitation.
It is preferable to use a product already formulated to reduce drift. See Additional Resources at the end of this Factsheet for a list of publications that provide more detail on chemical product recommendations.
For example, low volatility amine formulations of acidic herbicides are less prone to vapour drift while ester formulations have a higher likelihood. If a drift-prone product must be used the product label will include additional precautions. For example, avoid spraying dicamba dimethylamine (a highly volatile amine) during high temperatures, since vapour drift can occur at high temperatures (> 25ºC) within one to two days after application. Even the slightest drift from dicamba can cause major damage to nearby sensitive crops.
There are several ways to minimize the potential for spray drift. Some involve adjusting equipment and others relate to the application method. All require that the spray applicator be both aware of the conditions that promote drift and be willing to make changes while spraying.
While there are many types of sprayers used in agriculture for the ground application of pesticides, the two most often associated with drift are the airblast sprayer and the horizontal boom sprayer. Minimize spray drift by adjusting these sprayers to produce a coarser spray quality at a minimal effective distance from the target. How to make these sprayer adjustments are outlined below.
An airblast sprayer is a vehicle-mounted or vehicle-drawn device that uses a high-speed stream of air to carry the spray from air-shear or hydraulic nozzle tips into the target. The potential for drift can be reduced by:
A horizontal boom sprayer is a vehicle-mounted or vehicle-drawn device that sprays through a series of nozzles attached to a boom that extends outward on one or both sides. The potential for drift can be reduced by:

Figure 4. Airblast sprayer with towers.
Figure 5. Tangential sprayer.
Figure 6. Recycling sprayer.

Figure 8. Drop-arms on a horizontal boom.
Figure 9. Air-assist sleeve on a horizontal boom.
Figure 10. Shrouds on a horizontal boom.
Some sprayers are not easily categorized and can use a combination of the previously described modifications. Examples of these other sprayer categories include:
Figure 11. Rope-style wiper/wick system.
There are many techniques to minimize drift when using the equipment previously described. Equipment modification on its own is not enough to reduce incidents of drift. Spray application is only as good as the spray applicator's methods. Review the best practices below to help control drift.
Be sure to confirm coverage using water-sensitive paper and be aware that erratic wind can make spray coverage uneven.
For example, notifying neighbouring greenhouse growers of an early morning pesticide application gives them the opportunity to close the vents, thus avoiding the possibility of drift into the greenhouse.
Generally, a buffer zone is the downwind distance separating the point of direct pesticide application from the nearest boundary of a sensitive habitat (see Figure 12). Look on the pesticide label for any buffer zone requirements.
Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency has an online spray drift calculator that allows applicators to modify the labelled buffer zones as required by the product label, based on weather conditions, the category of sprayer or droplet size. For more information, see the Buffer Zone Calculator at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/agri-commerce/drift-derive/calculator-calculatrice-eng.php.
Anyone using pesticides is responsible for their safe application. Where drift damages adjacent crops, insurance adjustors generally ask the following questions:
The Pesticides Act requires that licensed spray applicators carry a specialized liability insurance policy that provides appropriate coverage for their business. Operators who work on a "for hire" basis (e.g. a licensed spray applicator) or away from their own farm operation will need additional coverage.
A normal farm insurance policy may not cover spraying done by licensed spray applicators or those done in share-cropping arrangements.
It is important to consult with an insurance broker or agent to ensure there is adequate coverage for any type of operation.
Section 29 of the act requires anyone who uses a pesticide that causes an adverse effect to notify the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE). Should there be any impairment to the quality of life or environment in the use of a pesticide, charges could be laid against the applicator under Section 4.
Consult the Blue Pages in the local telephone directory or visit the Ministry of the Environment's website at www.ontario.ca/environment to locate the nearest district office. After hours, contact the Pollution Hotline at 1-866-663-8477.
Figure 12. Defining buffer zones for common application methods.
There are a series of steps to follow when damage caused by pesticide drift is suspected.
Diagnose the problem
Contact the appropriate people.
Document all details.
The methods and materials described in this Factsheet can reduce, but do not eliminate pesticide drift. In areas near sensitive crops, all reasonable precautions must be taken. Follow the pesticide label instructions to mitigate drift. Extremely low, and often invisible, amounts of spray drift can be very damaging to sensitive crops or habitats, so it is essential to know and follow both the pesticide label and the manufacturer's directions for proper use of the spray equipment.

Metairie, La. -- Shopping malls are bustling with shoppers eager to scratch off those final gifts off their lists, and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office wants to make sure shoppers are safe.
"I'm finished as of this moment, so I'm very happy," said Donna Barry as she walked through Lakeside Mall.
The Olvey family was wrapping up their gift hunting at Lakeside as well. "We had a list, we took one full day, got everything. One thing we couldn't find in the right size so we came back today," said Brooke Olvey.
And the young are equally involved in the down-to-the-wire shopping. ''We just bought this infant baby Jesus necklace," said a elementary school-aged boy.
Lakeside Mall officials are thrilled with the shopping frenzy.
"Very busy, parking lots are full," said Lakeside Mall spokesman David Colomb.
Colomb said the Black Friday weekend benchmarks were met, and he said this final weekend before Christmas is expected to be huge. Lakeside also has extended hours.
Clearview Mall was reporting brisk business, as well. And outside both malls, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office has mobile command units and other crimefighting apparatus.
"Some of the officers will be patrolling in that same general area, especially in the shopping centers with their overhead lights," said Sheriff's Office spokesman Col. John Fortunato.
Not all officers will be so obvious, though. "You'll see police officers in plain clothes riding in unmarked vehicles with probably dashboard lights," continued Fortunato.
And given the recent headlines about gun violence in other parts of the country, shoppers we spoke with seem to appreciate having the Sheriff's Office on site.
"I feel secure," said a female heading into Clearview Mall.
Fortunato said there have not been any major problems reported.
"Our holiday period, thank God, so far has been very quiet. We have our typical little shoplifting incidents, a couple of chases as a result of people running out of stores," he said.
Fortunato said personal vigilance also goes a long way. "Usually at this time of year we start to see little trends where we have some vehicle burglaries that occur, people get a little relaxed, it's the holiday period, they don't stop to think of safety, you know. There's always safety in numbers -- travel in groups," he said.
He said shoppers should keep their guard up when leaving shopping areas: "Have your keys in your hand, don't be fumbling around because if there's some would-be guy in the neighborhood who wants to use you as a victim and you make yourself an easy target, chances are you'll be an easy target."
Fortunato said shoppers should always place their packages inside their trunks or hide them with coverings, and be sure to lock vehicles.
"Don't be alarmed occasionally if you look out your window or you're riding down the highway and you suddenly see one of our aerial units flying around with spotlights. That's just to let people know we want them to feel secure as they go about their shopping," said Fortunato.
Both Lakeside and Clearview have more information about attractions and shopping hours on their websites.
