When I was a kid, I had a special program that was developed for being the 'smartest girl in the country' or the 'smartest girl in the world in my age range'. It was a kind of integrated program that me, my family, and my school teachers worked on with a lot of help around the country.
There were lots of facets of this program including a high level of academic ability with my potential increased every year as a person who was kept in the same grade and should have gone to college at around 12 or 13 years old. Instead I was going to run a program as a;
#1 knower who was going to lose knowing as a sacrifice to everyone who was going to obtain it all over the country and then the world over 2 generations. This knowing was to be all-knowing and for everyone to rise up in intelligence, ability, and pure knowledge.
An alive girl who could supposedly create life in everyone around me as a person who could train anyone in anything by the time I was 5 years old as a supergenious.
A person who could keep girls alive even if males in their families hurt them and attempt to promote women rising in equality to men all around and especially in terms of academia and leadership roles in the workplace.
To my knowledge, people were going to participate in several schools across the country to all 'quicken' their 'genious' ability as the whole country rose up.
There was also a zeroing out affect with the program with regard to ensuring all debts were removed all over the world using this system as everyone rose.
I was called a 'generational baby' for America and in the second generation the world. All bodies were to be kept 'perfect' and not touched or damaged mostly for everyone who is now under 50 years old.
This was always spoken about out loud for me and was never kept quiet until my dad was fired and rehired in a different state and I was told I would run it bigger and better in a University Town for America.
In about 3 years the program was stomped for people who wanted to be the first 'in the know' to create a rich fringe who controlled the rest of the country and they believed I was their slave and they tried to take credit for what my GOOD GIVING HELPING FAMILY had created.
It has now been 1 generation and I have been remembered and remember all the abuse they gave me until I could barely remember I was every the 'smartest girl in the world' or a generational baby for the rising of America. They killed me at approximately 14 years old and I don't know what has happened. Everyone was supposed to be all-knowing, in-the know, alive, with perfect bodies and I don't think it has happened.
Can anybody comment on this or ask additional questions if they are interested?
I may pull this down after awhile if it seems necessary!!!

Nanoparticles of high atomic number (Z) materials can act as radiosensitizers to enhance radiation dose delivered to tumors. An analytical approach is used to calculate dose enhancements to tumor endothelial cells and their nuclei for a series of nanoparticles (bismuth, gold and platinum) located at different locations relative to nuclei by considering contributions from both photoelectrons and Auger electrons. The ratio of the dose delivered to cells with and without the nanoparticles is known as the dose enhancement factor (DEF). DEFs depend on material composition, size and location of nanoparticles with respect to the cell and the nucleus. Energy of irradiating X-ray beam affects X-ray absorption by nanoparticles and plays an important role in dose enhancements. For diagnostic X-ray sources, bismuth nanoparticles provide higher dose enhancements than gold and platinum nanoparticles for a given nanoparticle size, concentration and location. The highest DEFs are achieved for nanoparticles located closest to the nucleus where energy depositions from short range Auger electrons are maximum. With nanoparticles ranging in diameter between 2-400 nm, the dose enhancement increases with decrease in particle size. The results are useful in finding optimized conditions for nanoparticle enhanced X-ray radiation therapy of cancer.
Radiotherapy aims to maximize radiation dose delivered to tumor with minimum damage to surrounding healthy tissues. The promising ability of gold nanoparticles as effective radiosensitizers for localized tumor dose enhancements have been extensively explored due to high X-ray absorption cross-section of gold compared to biological tissues.1-8 Previous experiments with mice have shown significant increase in dose delivered to tissue volumes in presence of gold nanoparticles.9 Monte Carlo simulations have been performed extensively to investigate various parameters such as photon energy, particle size, concentration and location that govern radiosensitizing properties of gold nanoparticles.10-14 A recent study also shows how geometry of nanoparticles affect X-ray dose enhancement.15 Other theoretical studies reveal that targeted gold nanoparticles can enhance dose to endothelial cells surrounding a tumor by over 200 times depending on their concentration and energy of the irradiating X-ray photons.16 Dose enhancement is often attributed to photoelectrons and Auger electrons generated from X-ray irradiated nanoparticles. Photoelectrons are highly energetic, have a long range (up to hundreds of microns) in surrounding water, and deposit a small fraction of their energy near the nanoparticle. On the other hand, Auger electrons have lower energy and shorter range (less than 1 μm), allowing most of the energy to be deposited close to the nanoparticle. Energy deposition by electrons will hydrolyze water molecules surrounding cells and their nuclei, producing free radicals that will induce DNA damage, eventually leading to cell death. Cell nucleus that contains DNA, is thus considered to be the most sensitive to radiation exposure.17-19 Due to major contributions from short range Auger electrons, dose enhancement to nuclei is significantly different than that to entire cell. A recent theoretical study indicates that nucleus dose enhancement factor (nDEF) or the ratio of dose delivered to nucleus with and without gold nanoparticles can be as high as 73 for endothelial cell nuclei.20 Experiments have also shown that gold nanoparticles can be internalized inside cancer cells, which makes nanoparticle location control a feasible choice for dose enhancement.21 In addition, although gold nanoparticles have been the prime choice for radiosensitizers due to their high biocompatibility, ease of conjugation to tumor targeting agents, and high X-ray absorption coefficients, nanoparticles of other heavy metals such as bismuth and platinum can also serve as promising alternatives to gold in radiotherapy.22-27 However, there is no systemic investigation over potential benefits by controlling location and material composition of nanoparticles relative to cancer cells in X-ray radiation therapy.
We use an analytical approach developed by Ngwa et al.16 to derive radiosensitizing abilities of bismuth, gold and platinum nanoparticles at diagnostic X-ray conditions (50, 110 or 300 kVp). For each type of nanoparticles, doses delivered to endothelial cells and their nuclei are derived for particle sizes ranging between 2 to 400 nm in diameter, and concentrations ranging between 7-350 mg of nanoparticles per gram of tumor tissue. The contributions from both photoelectrons and Auger electrons are derived. Unlike previous studies, this work primarily focuses on dependence of dose enhancements on material composition and size, as well as location of nanoparticles using diagnostic X-ray sources (instead of using brachytherapy sources). In addition, the variation of nDEFs with respect to nanoparticle location has been discussed in context of photoelectron and Auger electron generation. Although Auger electron cross sections are derived from a previous Monte Carlo simulation due to lack of such data, the theoretical results from this investigation provide useful insights in choice of nanoparticles in terms of nanoparticle nature, size and targeting location to achieve maximum efficacy in nanoparticle enhanced X-ray radiation therapy of cancer.
A slab of tumor endothelial cells with dimensions of 2 μm (thickness) × 10 μm (length) × 10 μm (width) has been considered in the following simulations (Fig. 1).16 The radius of sphere with nanoparticle in center is equal to the range of emitted photoelectrons. Calculations are performed for spherical nanoparticles attached to the outer surface of the tumor endothelial cell. Nanoparticles of a wide range of diameters are used to establish a relation between nanoparticle size and dose enhancements. Concentration of nanoparticles is expressed in terms of mass of nanoparticles per unit mass of tumor tissue, and corresponds to values found in previous theoretical and experimental studies. An arbitrary dose Dw (2 Gy) is taken as the dose absorbed by the cell without nanoparticle, which is also the dose absorbed by water inside the cell. The photon flux or the number of photons per unit area of nanoparticle that corresponds to Dw is calculated using:
where Φ is photon flux (photon/cm2), Ep is energy per photon (J), and is mass absorption coefficient of water (cm2/g) at a given energy E. The number of photons (Nph) incident on the nanoparticle is derived by multiplying photon flux with cross-sectional area of nanoparticle; Nph = Φ×πr2, where r is radius of nanoparticle. The probability P of photoelectric interaction of incident photons with nanoparticle is given by where is the photoelectric absorption coefficient of nanoparticle at an energy E, ρNP is density of nanoparticle, and is the average distance traversed by photons through a spherical nanoparticle. A 50 kVp X-ray photon has an average energy E ~29 keV. At E = 29 keV, for bismuth resulting in P~8.54 × 10-3 for ρBi = 9.78 g/cm3 and r = 200 nm. Since the number of photoelectric interactions is equal to the number of emitted photoelectrons, the number of emitted photoelectrons per nanoparticle is derived from NPE = Nph × P.
The next step is to determine the number of nanoparticles that attach on cell surface at given nanoparticle concentrations. The total mass of nanoparticles mtotal in the entire volume of cell for a given concentration C (mg/g), is given by mtotal= C×VEC×ρEC, where VEC (2×10-10 cm3) and ρEC (1 g/cm3) are the volume and density of cell, respectively. The mass of nanoparticle is obtained as . Therefore, for any concentration C of nanoparticles, the number of nanoparticles that attach to cell is:
The total number of emitted photoelectrons can now be calculated as NPEtotal = NPE × NNP
To evaluate the range of emitted photoelectrons, the kinetic energy EKE of emitted photoelectrons must be known, which is given by EKE = E-Eedge, where Eedge is relevant photoelectric absorption edge of nanoparticle. The average L-edge of bismuth is 15 keV giving EKE = 14 keV. As emitted photoelectrons interact with their surroundings, they will deposit kinetic energy in a sphere of interaction centered on the nanoparticle. The radius of interaction sphere defines the range Rtot of photoelectrons and is given by:
At EKE =14 keV, Rtot is 4.81 μm. For electron with kinetic energy between 20 eV to 20 MeV, Cole has derived an empirical relation28 between electron energy loss and range Rtot (μm):
where x is the distance from photoelectron emission site. The total energy deposited by single photoelectron in cell volume is obtained by integrating differential energy loss from surface of nanoparticle (r) to maximum range (Rtot) of photoelectrons (Fig. 1):
where, HABC = Area of hemisphere ABC = 2πRtot2, CXBY = Area of hemispherical cap XBY = 2π(Rtot − t), SABCD = Surface area of entire sphere ABCD = 4πRtot2 and t is cell thickness. Assuming a homogenous distribution of nanoparticles, and dose deposited in the entire sphere of interaction, the total energy deposited to cell by photoelectrons can be derived by multiplying EEC with the total number of emitted photoelectrons, i.e., EECtotal = EEC ×NPEtotal. This calculation does not take into account the hemispherical shell in the blood vessel and the spherical shell beyond the cell. Dose contributions from nanoparticles on the opposite side of blood vessel are relatively small and therefore have not been considered. The dose delivered to the entire cell by photoelectrons following nanoparticle and X-ray interactions is obtained by dividing energy deposited in cell by mass (volume×density) of cell: . DEF due to photoelectrons is given by:
A DEF of 1.0 refers to 0% enhancement; while a DEF of 2.0 refers to 100% enhancement. For bismuth nanoparticles, at a concentration of 7 mg/g, DEF is 1.307, meaning that adding 7 mg of bismuth nanoparticles per gram of a tumor tissue increases X-ray dose by 65% when only the photoelectrons are considered for energy deposition. The calculations are repeated for a series of nanoparticle concentrations ranging from 7-350 mg/g, and radius ranging from 1-200 nm. DEFs due to photoelectrons are calculated for gold and platinum nanoparticles using the same approach.
In order to derive contribution from Auger electrons, Auger electron spectra obtained from Monte Carlo simulations for tumors loaded with gold nanoparticles at 7 mg/g and irradiated with a 50 kVp X-ray source is used.12 The energy deposited by Auger electrons in the cell is determined as described for photoelectrons. Average number of Auger electrons generated per absorbed X-ray photon (at 7 mg/g nanoparticle concentration) is 0.56 as derived from the Auger spectra. The product of number of source photons and number of Auger electrons per source photon gives the total number of Auger electrons emitted. Number of Auger electrons per source photon at higher nanoparticle concentrations is obtained by scaling number of Auger electrons per source photon at 7 mg/g as described by Ngwa et al.16 For simplicity, the average number of Auger electrons per source photon generated from bismuth nanoparticles and platinum nanoparticles are also taken as 0.56 when irradiated by the same 50 kVp source. This is reasonable approximation assuming that the difference in Auger electron spectra of platinum (Z = 78), gold (Z = 79) and bismuth (Z = 83) is negligible due to their similar atomic numbers and therefore similar Auger yields when exposed to the same X-ray beam.
Both photoelectrons and Auger electrons can cause radiolysis of surrounding water, leading to formation of free radicals (mostly hydroxyl radicals). But free radical chain reaction can be terminated by scavengers such as lipids in cell membranes, or enzymes inside cell. It has been found that mean diffusion length of free radicals is in the range of 200 nm in presence of 10-5 M scavengers in aqueous solution. Thus, to ensure maximum DNA damage caused by photoelectron and Auger electrons, it is necessary to position nanoparticles as close to nucleus as possible. The slab model, used to calculate dose enhancement to cell, is slightly adjusted to include a nucleus that occupies 10% of cell volume (Fig. 1).20 The nucleus has a diameter of 0.5 μm and a thickness of 1.0 μm, and is located at the center of the 2 μm thick slab. The boundary conditions in equation (5) are adjusted to include only the dose deposited by electrons within 1 μm thick slab (KLMN) section containing the nucleus. Energy deposited within 1 μm thick slab section containing nucleus is calculated as:
For a centrally located nucleus inside a 2 μm slab CX′BY′ = Area of spherical cap X′BY′ = 2πRtot (Rtot − t + 0.5 μm) CABC = Area of spherical cap ABC = 2πRtot(Rtot − t + 1.5 μm) with t = 2 μm being the cell thickness. Plugging in parameters for 1.9 nm bismuth nanoparticles gives Eslab=1.45 keV. The average dose deposited in the slab section containing the nucleus is given by:
The mass of nucleus is calculated from product of its volume and density (1.0 g/cm3). The nDEF is obtained as follows:
where DW = 2 Gy is arbitrary dose delivered to water surrounding the nucleus. Plugging in values yields nDEF = 1.02 for photoelectrons and 8.24 for Auger electrons at 7 mg/g concentration of 1.9 nm bismuth nanoparticles.
Fig. 2A shows variation of cellular DEF due to photoelectrons as a function of nanoparticle concentrations for 400 nm diameter bismuth, gold and platinum nanoparticles when irradiated by a 50 kVp source. For any given concentration, bismuth nanoparticles yield the highest dose enhancement while gold and platinum nanoparticles provide similar enhancements. This is in accordance with differences in X-ray absorption cross sections of bismuth, gold and platinum. At a concentration of 350 mg/g, bismuth nanoparticles provide 1.25 and 1.29 times higher dose enhancements than gold nanoparticles and platinum nanoparticles, respectively. Fig. 2B shows variation of dose enhancement due to Auger electrons with nanoparticle concentrations. Although, DEFs due to Auger electrons increase linearly with nanoparticle concentration, they are considerably higher than those from photoelectrons at the same concentration. This is attributed to the short range (less than 1 μm) of Auger electrons, which causes them to deposit most of their energies in the vicinity of the X-ray irradiated nanoparticle. As a result of the near particle energy deposition, dose contribution within several hundred nanometers from nanoparticle location is dominated by Auger electrons. Auger electrons from bismuth nanoparticles provide ~2 and 2.4 times higher enhancement than gold nanoparticles and platinum nanoparticles at 350 mg/g. Total dose enhancement factors are calculated by summing contributions from photoelectrons and Auger electrons. Table 1 summarizes total enhancement factors for three nanoparticle concentrations for three types of nanoparticles having a diameter of 400 nm.
Fig. 2C shows effect of nanoparticle size on dose enhancement due to photoelectrons alone at 7 mg/g for three different types of nanoparticles. Enhancement factor remains constant with increase in particle size from 2-400 nm. Fig. 2D shows enhancement factor due to Auger electrons decreases with increase in particle size. Following an ionizing event, photo or Auger electrons must escape nanoparticle before causing damage to surrounding cells; however, the percentage of electrons emitted from nanoparticle upon X-ray excitation strongly depends on particle size, with a majority of low energy and short range Auger electrons being absorbed more readily within nanoparticle of increasing size. Because more Auger electrons can escape from smaller nanoparticles, the overall energy deposited to surrounding cell is higher for smaller nanoparticles, resulting in higher dose enhancements.17 On the other hand, the percentage of energy escaping as photoelectrons and characteristic X-rays remains unchanged with increase in particle size, thereby, maintaining an almost constant dose enhancement.10 As shown in Fig. 2C and 2D, for any given size (and concentration), bismuth nanoparticles provide the maximum dose enhancement, while platinum nanoparticles have slightly lower DEFs than gold nanoparticles. The total enhancement including both Auger and photoelectrons with respect to particle size is calculated by summing the individual contributions from Auger and photoelectrons.
Fig. 3A and 3B show variations in nDEFs with nanoparticle concentrations for photoelectrons and Auger electrons, respectively, when irradiated by an external 50 kVp X-ray source. Since smaller nanoparticles have high Auger electron yield (due to low self-absorption), the nanoparticle diameter used to calculate nDEF is 1.9 nm instead of 400 nm in order to emphasize influence of Auger electrons. Bismuth nanoparticles provide the highest nDEFs for a given nanoparticle concentration, size and location. The total nDEFs can be obtained by adding nDEF values for photoelectrons and Auger electrons. Table 2 summarizes nDEFs due to photoelectrons and Auger electrons for a centrally located nucleus using three different concentrations with nanoparticle diameter of 1.9 nm.
The location dependent variation of nDEF is studied for photoelectrons and Auger electrons. The zero position is taken as the location where nanoparticle is closest to the nucleus or just inside the nucleus. Fig. 3C and 3D show how nDEF varies as the nanoparticle is moved away from the nucleus, with regards to the energy distributions from photoelectrons and Auger electrons, respectively. The concentration of nanoparticles is chosen to be 7 mg/g. The long-range photoelectrons deposit their energy relatively uniformly over the entire cell volume with nDEF remaining fairly constant as the nanoparticle is moved away from the nucleus. In contrast, short range Auger electrons deposit more energy closer to the nanoparticles; therefore, the highest nDEFs are achieved for nanoparticles that are located closest to the nucleus. Results summarized in Table 1 and and2,2, confirm that for any given nanoparticle concentration, size or location, bismuth nanoparticles offer significantly higher dose enhancements for both cell and nucleus compared to gold nanoparticles and platinum nanoparticles when irradiated with a typical low energy 50 kVp diagnostic X-ray source.
Fig. 4A-C shows how the cellular dose enhancements due to photoelectrons alone depend on energy of primary X-rays at different particle concentrations for bismuth, gold and platinum nanoparticles. For each type of particle, the diameter is taken at 400 nm. Fig. 4D shows the results obtained at nanoparticle concentration of 350 mg/g. In addition to 50 kVp source, two additional X-ray sources, 110 kVp (average energy ~40 keV)29 and 300 kVp (average energy ~100 keV)10 are used to study the energy dependence of cellular dose enhancements. Our results are consistent with earlier studies10 that used Monte Carlo simulations and reveal a general trend of increasing dose enhancement with decreasing energy of X-ray sources for a given nanoparticle type. The k-edge energies of bismuth, gold and platinum are 91, 81 and 78 keV, respectively. The 50 kVp and 110 kVp sources have average energies below k-edge while 300 kVp source has an average energy above k-edge of particles. An abrupt increase in photoelectric absorption coefficients is observed only when the average energy of the primary X-ray photons matches k-edge energies or when a monochromatic X-ray source with the same energy as k-edge of nanoparticles is used. Low energy diagnostic X-ray sources are therefore ideal for nanoparticle enhanced therapeutic applications particularly for treatment of surface cancers. However, treating deeply buried cancers would still require high energy X-ray beams that can penetrate deeper inside the body.
In this work, an analytical approach is adopted to obtain does enhancements for tumor cells and their nuclei using bismuth, gold and platinum nanoparticles. Energy depositions from both photoelectrons and Auger electrons, generated by X-ray irradiation of nanoparticles have been considered. The dependence of dose enhancements on nanoparticle material composition, location, size, and concentration, as well as the energy of irradiating X-ray photons, are derived based on the mathematical model. Maximum dose enhancements are achieved in the case of bismuth nanoparticles; smaller nanoparticles coupled with low energy external beam X-ray sources can greatly enhance dose delivered to cell or nucleus with maximum enhancements being obtained for particles that are located closest to the nucleus. While, this study indicates the use of bismuth and platinum as a potential alternative to gold in nanoparticle aided radiation therapy of cancer, further studies are warranted to investigate X-ray induced DNA damage, toxicity and biocompatibility of these particles before the proposed method can be put into practical use.

Helinox Camp Chair
I love these camp chairs! easy to set up, light weight for backpacking and pretty dang comfortable.!
Pack it in!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you're thinking of just sitting on a stump or rock instead of this to save a couple pounds backpacking, don't! This is light-weight and the seat sits a grown man wider than you'd expect, with a great back-angle to lounge in after walking all day. The inner-chords that hold the skeleton frame are thick and tough too!
Pretty Comfortable for it's size
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this chair since it says it's weight limits are considerably higher than most at 320lbs. It's fairly comfortable for it's size and seems pretty sturdy. I'll be taking it out into the backcountry so hopefully the ground will be dry enough to use it.
No excuse to be uncomfortable
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
For the longest time I have always battled with making the decision to either pack in my big/heavy camping chairs or just find rocks/logs to set up on.
I have had this chair in my sights for a while but was pretty hesitant due to the price. I finally pulled the trigger and am SO GLAD I did. I can't believe it took me so long. They pack down nice and small and are so light you barely notice them. Obviously if you are a superlight backpacker you probably aren't looking to bring a chair but if you are like most of us you are ok with bringing a little extra gear for some comfort.
An added perk is that the bag has a little daisy chain attached on the outside so it can easily be strapped to the outside of your pack. If you are on the fence I STRONGLY recommend you go for it. You will not be upset.
One downside I noticed was that where I took it for the first time the ground was very soft. The small surface area of each leg would sink down into the soft ground. They now offer a ground mat to solve this problem.
I am usually a minimalist
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I just went backpacking with my dad and his buds. They were all bringing these chairs. I really did not want to due to the extra weight but I am glad I did what everyone else did! The chair came in handy!!!! There was snow and cold ground everywhere we were.
The chair was perfect for keeping my bum warm and dry from the big rock we chilled on!
It fit on the top of my stuff in my backpack. This thing is super small and seems really durable.
1lb of luxury
Love this chair! I've tried both the REI and Big5 versions, which are both less expensive, but fall short compared to this chair's comfort and quality. It is totally worth the price for the real deal. And IMHO worth the extra weight on backpacking trips as the first thing I do is set up my chair and kick off my shoes when we reach our destination.
Best camp chair ever
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Every time I take this camping at least a few people ask me about it. Where did I get it? How can they get one? Yes, its a $100 camp chair, and it's worth every penny. My ONLY complaint is that it's a little tricky to fold the chair and seat back into the zipper carry bag, but once you get the hang of it it's easy and the bag is definitely big enough.
Worth the price tag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These things roll up into TINY bags. About 1 foot long and 6 inches in diameter so it's super easy to bring with you camping or hiking. They're comfortable, durable and compact. Not sure you can ask for more than that. I used to have the Walmart $10 chairs and while they got the job done for car camping, they quality can't compare to these and you can take these EVERYWHERE! and love the colors.
life savor
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
beautiful purchase. worth the extra 2 lbs to have a comfy place to relax during a backpacking trip. only problem is everyone will steal it when you get up so call 5's.
lightweight, easy to pack.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Easy to put up and down and comfortable for camping.
My Tush Says A+
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This chair is mad comfy and incredibly light! I had never seen/sat in one of these until the Helinox reps came by the other day and I sat down in one and knew I was going to buy one that instant. Burly but light poles thanks to DAC, so it should last a long while, and it seriously is just very comfortable to sit in. I doubt I'd ever take it backpacking, but for car camping/sitting in the park, this guy is a charm.
If bee had knees...
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This chair is AWESOME!! It packs down nice and small, but has big comfort. I just got it, and after initial impressions I have decided that this thing will be attached to my hip (or buttocks) this summer. Love it!! Assuming it will be durable as well.
Love it
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I set this chair up in my living room for a few days and so far it's held up great. It's the ideal camping chair, lightweight, small and easy to set up. It does sit low to the ground which I wasnt expecting. I cant wait to take this on my camping trips.
Comfort while backpacking
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The Helinox Camp Chair One is such a great chair and will bring much comfort to me while backpacking. Great design, great packaging, amazingly light weight.
Literally the best camp chair ever.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have 2 of these and absolutely love them. You can't beat the size/weight of this chair combined with the quality materials and sturdy construction. I've taken it everywhere from the beach to the backcountry and it never disappoints.
greatest chair ever
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
everyone knows when you go backpacking into the mountains you typically wont have a comfy spot to sit near the fire because lets face it, no one wants to lug a 5lb chair with them. but with this chair the problem is solved, this chair is super easy to pack around with you. and not only is it super light, but it is so comfy to sit in and just pass the time by the fire and not hurt your butt sitting on a hard rock. so if you want to be comfortable by the fire, you know what you need to get.
Excellent Backpack "Comfort" Option
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Really like this chair. Some friends had them and I borrowed one on a recent trip. Really saved my butt (literally) after a long day on the Ouchita Trail. Not too heavy, and it really is much more comfortable than sitting on a log or the ground. It kind of feels like you are going to fall over backwards when you first sit in it, but it seems to be stable. Biggest problem is the lack of head support which would have been nice for a quick nap by the campfire before dinner. I have since purchased an additional Helinox Sunset Chair which is the Chair One's slightly heavier and "high backed" brother. I LOVE IT!!!
Thanks for the A+ review, Thomas! Glad these are working out for you!
Going outside? Bring this chair along
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The reviews on this chair do not lie. This is the probably the best chair to bring along on your outdoor adventure. Packs small, lightweight, comfortable, and everyone around you will wish they had one also. I have brought this chair camping, tailgating, relatives sport games, basically anywhere a chair might be needed outside, this is a great chair. I highly recommend it!
Just do it, your bum will thank you
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These chairs do have a steep pricetag, but I'm a fan of quality over quantity. I can't count the amount of cheap grocery store camp chairs I've run through in my life, but Helinox chair has weathered some pretty intense trips, weeks in the back of the truck, and even accidentally buried in the snow for a winter and is still holding strong.
The do-all
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Got Questions? Contact me and I'll answer your questions or help set up an order for ya.
I've owned a bunch of camp chairs over the years and never been overly stoked on one before. But the One Camp Chair is my go-to for everything.
This chair is always set up in my bedroom in case I want to sit down and have a spot to read. It's gone with me to parties, traveled all around with me since it's super compact and sturdy, ventured to the desert and more.
There are a few things in particular that I really like about this chair.
The storage bag is clutch. It's easy to get the legs and the fabric chair into the storage back and easy to ge tit all out.
I toss this in my duffel for all my trips and it takes up no space which is perfect.
I prefer to go pretty light on my backpacking trips but if I had a trip in mind where I was going to be setting up camp for a few nights and not moving from (after hiking in to the camp) I'd definitely bring this with me. It's not heavy at all.
Built like a brick sh*t-house:
At 185lbs, I'm not a huge person but I'm also not dainty. I've definitely had a few evenings where I've sat down pretty hard and it's had no effects on the chair.
If you've got questions about this chair or any other Helinox ones, feel free to hit me up. Hanging around the camp fire just got a whole lot better (seriously, everyone tries to snag this chair before I sit down).

nashville country music was an amazing race, and although i did make mistakes, i think that i am going to try again soon.
what i will do differently for and during my second marathon:
1. more core training
2. more ice! (chill baths, letting my body heal after being tired)
3. more iron! apparently you lose a lot of iron while running and i am a vegetarian, so that makes it worse.
4. more massage! deep tissue massage is supposed to be great for injury prevention.
we'll see how this goes!

SAN ANTONIO -- Manu Ginobili is in no rush for the San Antonio Spurs to find out who they're playing next.
The top-seeded Spurs practiced Wednesday facing the possibility of not knowing whether they'll play Memphis or the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals until this weekend.
The Clippers lead that series 3-1 and can advance Wednesday night. But if the Grizzlies rally and push the series to the brink, Game 7 won't be until Sunday.
Ginobili says he wouldn't mind seeing the Grizzlies and Clippers go the distance so the winner will be more worn out for the second round.
Staying sharp is a new challenge for the Spurs. Coach Gregg Popovich obsessively monitored minutes during the condensed season but now faces a potential weeklong layoff.

I can see that this happened a year ago, but not since.
I have a brand new blog so I wanted to try out WordPress SEO instead of All in One SEO.
I have a static first page with image. One of the pages is my blog, and will have regular posts in there.
The pages have normal titles: Page - Name of site. However, the CHILD pages have only Page Name, no Name of Site, and the same for every single post: post name - no blog name. It seems, then, to be a child problem, since some categories are child, and in my own mind, at least, posts on the Blog Page are like children, too.
I can't wait any longer, after reading his pages of instruction, queries here, etc. I never had a problem like this with the All in One Seo plugin. I did change the header as suggested a year ago to: <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title> , but no diff.
Would welcome any suggestion at all. Meanwhile, back to the other plugin!

VIENNA — The success or failure of the Syrian peace talks this week is tied to the fate of one man who's not even at the table: President Bashar Assad.
Neither Assad nor any of his representatives are in Vienna, where U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and senior diplomats from almost 20 other countries began negotiations Thursday. But his future is at the heart of all the talks.
CAIRO — Egyptian warplanes launched new airstrikes and troops went house-to-house Thursday in the troubled Sinai Peninsula, a day after Islamic State-linked militants set off the area's bloodiest fighting in decades in an unprecedented, coordinated attack.
The combat, described as "war" by the media and officials, heightened tensions across Egypt as it marks Friday's second anniversary of the military's overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, a move that fanned an insurgency in north Sinai that has grown stronger.
MONTREUX, Switzerland — U.S. officials sought Wednesday to tamp down expectations of a substantial preliminary nuclear deal with Iran by the March deadline while working to move past the political dust kicked up by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's criticism of an emerging agreement's contours.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington was well aware of the potential nuclear danger Iran poses to countries in the region and will endorse only an agreement that seriously and verifiably crimps Tehran's ability to make atomic arms.
TAIPEI, Taiwan — A Taiwanese flight with 58 people aboard went sideways, clipped an elevated roadway and careened into a river Wednesday shortly after takeoff from the island's capital of Taipei, killing at least 12 people, local media and officials said.
SLOVYANSK, Ukraine — As Western governments vowed to impose more sanctions against Russia and its supporters in eastern Ukraine, a group of foreign military observers remained in captivity Saturday accused of being NATO spies by a pro-Russian insurgency.
The German-led, eight-member team was traveling under the auspices of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe when they were detained Friday.
BAGHDAD — The vibrant posters promise jobs, prosperity and security coming from Iraq's first parliamentary elections since U.S. troops withdrew from the country, but so far, voters have only dim hopes as sectarian bloodshed rages unstopped.
SEOUL, South Korea — Less than an hour after arriving in South Korea, President Barack Obama solemnly laid a wreath at a memorial honoring Americans killed in the Korean War. On Saturday, he'll speak to some of the 28,000 American service members stationed here and hold a rare joint security briefing with South Korea's president.
Obama's itinerary is aimed at showcasing the U.S. military's deep ties to the region at a time when Asia is warily watching China's growing military prowess and North Korea's unpredictable nuclear efforts.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rican salsa legend Cheo Feliciano died in a car accident early Thursday, prompting the governor of the U.S. territory to declare three days of mourning.
Feliciano, a member of the Fania All Stars, was one of the most recognized salsa singers, with hits including "Una en un millón," ''Mi promesa," and "Contigo aprendi."
PERTH, Australia — Although it has been slow, difficult and frustrating so far, the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet is nowhere near the point of being scaled back, Australia's prime minister pledged Monday.
The three-week hunt for Flight 370 has turned up no sign of the Boeing 777, which vanished March 8 with 239 people bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. Ten planes and 11 ships found no sign of the missing plane in the search zone in the southern Indian Ocean, about 1,150 miles west of Australia, officials said.
PATTAYA, Thailand — Authorities questioned travel agents Monday at a beach resort in Thailand about two men who boarded the vanished Malaysia Airlines plane with stolen passports, part of a growing international investigation into what they were doing on the flight.
Nearly three days after the Boeing 777 with 239 people on board disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, no debris has been seen in Southeast Asian waters.
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia executed a de facto military takeover of a strategic region in Ukraine as the parliament in Moscow gave President Vladimir Putin a green light Saturday to proceed to protect Russian interests. The newly installed government in Kiev was powerless to react to the swift takeover of Crimea by Russian troops already in Ukraine and more flown in, aided by pro-Russian Ukrainian groups.

From the moment we walked in,til leaving,this place was simply put....AWESOME!!! It was our anniversary and i wanted to celebrate it in a special way. Boy were we blown away! This place is fabulous! We were greeted at the door as if we were invited to dinner! It was literally like going to visit friends!I made the reservations a week in advance,with no problem!Who would have thought,that such a restaurant would be tucked amongst these unpretentious yet elegant rowhouses!! If you are looking for a quiet,romantic, intimate restaurant,then look no further! As a matter of fact,one review I read,said that he/she felt as though other diners could overhear them...And that person has no idea how right he/she was!! We were overheard!!!Speaking in German,because during the course of the evening,a couple at the table across from us spoke to us in German as they were leaving! So this place is very intimate! To Flint,Jesse,Rusty and all the others I did not meet,GREAT JOB! You guys made sure we weren't in the dark! They explain and describe every portion of the meal as they bring it.And we were STILL surprised when it arrived!haha. Now,if you're like most folks,you've grown accustomed to huge portions piled high on a plate. Not here!! But you will leave comfortably satisfied,without being so overstuffed that you have to loosen your belt! They even brought us an extra dessert..because of our anniversary!Like I said,very attentive! One thing I did miss....They didn't help my wife into her coat,maybe it's an American thing,but since he brought it to us.........just saying..... But aside from that,it was a very pleasurable dining experience.It is going to be very hard to top this!!

Hi there...
A friend of mine have asked me to help him update his website.
We might wanna use wordpress, if the following will be possible.
Right now he got a color-list of candles... see it here.
Is there an easy way to do a list like that in wordpress - or with a plugin?
We have been searching for a plugin, but without any luck.
Thank you so much for your time.

Yesterday I upgraded WordPress from 2.1 to 2.6, using the Automatic Upgrade plug-in.
I have since discovered that *all* of my internal permalinks (the ones linking to other pages on my site) are not working, resulting in the 404 page showing up with the message
"The requested URL http:// was not found on this server."
How do I fix this?


text:
This bug seems to have existed in the past ( http://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-errors-on-upgrade ) but re-emerged for me recently, with Events Manager 5.2.3 and WordPress 3.4.1.
Basically, everything works fine unless I set the Events page to use a Page which is a child Page of a normal Page. When I do this, the Events page gives a 404 error. Set the Events page to be a main page (no parent) and everything works again.
Interestingly, the plugin is happy with the Locations and Event Category pages being child Pages. No 404 errors there.
Flushing the permalinks didn't help, but I found that deactivating and reactivating the plugin has seemingly fixed it.
My server set-up is as follows:
- Windows Server 2003
- Apache 2.0
WordPress is install in the root, not in its own sub-folder.
I hope this info is of use to anyone else who runs into the same problem, and perhaps to Marcus et al in eliminating the bug once and for all.

Lake Land College hosts Illinois GIS Association regional meeting
May 29, 2014
The Lake Land College Kluthe Center set the stage for the first Illinois GIS Association (ILGISA) regional meeting, which attracted area professionals working in utilities, economic development, surveying and municipal governments. ILGISA's current president, Keith Nightlinger, and president-elect, Andrew Vitale, also attended the event to promote ILGISA's interest in developing geospatial technologies in down-state Illinois.
During the event, attendees met with industry leaders in GIS mapping and learned how they are successfully leveraging geospatial mapping technology in developing more efficient organizations. Specific issues included the development, staffing and return on investment for city, county, and utility agencies and organizations using GIS technology in Illinois.
Guest speakers at the event included Mike Rudibaugh, Lake Land College Earth science and geography instructor, who spoke on economic geography and his work with the National Science Foundation; Kelly Lockhart, executive director for Coles County Regional Planning Commission; Bill Teichmiller, CEO of EJ Water Cooperative, Inc.; Mark Toalson, IT director for the City of Champaign; and Thomas Tym, senior project manager for Ruekert-Mielke.
"Geospatial technology and the jobs connected to that industry are changing and growing by leaps and bounds," said Josh Bullock, Lake Land College president. "Having these tools and the technicians to do the jobs can have a profound impact on a global, regional and local level."
Lake Land College offers a certificate program in Geospatial Technology that provides students with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop and manage geographic information projects and to interpret and implement GIS as a decision support system.

Dimensional Reduction in Digital Synthesizers GUI Using Parameter Analysis
Digital synthesizers have cognitive overload issues for interaction, specially for novice or intermediate users. A system is developed to generate a custom GUI based on timbre clustering and parameter data analysis of preset programs present in VST synthesizers. The result is a new interface with dynamic control of the amount of variables maintaining full functionality of synthesizer performance. This system is designed to adapt to the degree of knowledge and cognitive control of synthesizer parameters of the user. The results of using diverse clustering techniques for synthesizers sound analysis and an original statistical analysis of preset programs parameter data are exposed. Implications of the use of our system in real world scenarios and reviewed

First Posted: 1/9/2013
(AP) Myanmar President Thein Sein has formed a nine-member anti-corruption team in his latest reform for the country's newly unshackled economy.
State media reported Wednesday that the Action Committee Against Corruption will be headed by one of the country's two vice presidents and will fight widespread corruption and implement clean government. Details of its powers were not given. Thein Sein established the body Tuesday.
The anti-corruption group Transparency International says Myanmar is perceived as one of the world's most corrupt countries, ranking 172nd out of 176. Business tycoons have entrenched themselves by cutting deals with the country's former military leaders, and privatization of state resources in the transition to a free market economy has opened up opportunities for graft.

I would like to roll my own REST API with a simple service. I would like to have three basic plans which will differ in terms of available req/sec.
Is there an easy way to prevent key switching? Let's say someone bought "enterprise" api-key and send it to others? Now others have access to "enterprise" level features without actually paying for this service.
Of course I will implement some kind of rate-limiting but that's not the point. I just want to make API available to people who actually purchased API-keys.
Thanks in advance!

Your Child's Nutrition: The Power of Parents
Tips for Boosting Your Child's Nutrition continued...
Don't let kids eat in front of TV. Preschoolers who watch two or more hours of TV daily are nearly three times more likely to be overweight than children who watch less, research shows. Why? Kids who eat while watching TV often eat more, possibly because they are distracted from the normal feeling of fullness.
Make breakfast a priority. Eating breakfast fuels body and brain and is a big part of good nutrition for children. Kids who eat breakfast daily get more nutrients overall. They are also less likely to be overweight, and fare better at school. If growing kids don't get that first meal of the day, they miss out on protein, calcium, fiber, a little fat to help them feel full, plus important vitamins. Try:
- Whole-grain breakfast cereals, like Cheerios and Wheat Chex
- Oatmeal with applesauce, berries, and chopped nuts
- Whole-grain toast topped with melted reduced-fat cheese
- Fruit-and-yogurt parfait: Layer low-fat yogurt with fruit, nuts, whole-wheat cereal
- Whole-grain frozen waffles topped with sliced strawberries and low-fat yogurt
- Scrambled eggs or omelet with veggies
- Leftover cheese-and-veggie pizza
Pack healthy lunches. With a lunch from home you can enhance your child's nutrition, making sure they get the protein, whole grains, fruit, vegetables, and calcium they need. Try:
- Chopped broccoli, baby carrots, apple slices with fat-free dip
- Quesadilla wedges with cheese, chicken, or veggies
- Wraps: whole-wheat tortillas, lean meats, veggie slices
- Whole-wheat bread, peanut butter, banana, chopped dates
Prepare for snack attacks. After-school snacks can be nutritious, too. Stock the kitchen for healthy snack fixings that kids will eat. A bowl of fresh fruit sitting on the counter is a good start. And try these other ideas:
- Make a trail mix of low-sugar cereal, nuts, pretzels, dried fruit, and mini chocolate chips
- Have chopped veggies and dip sitting on the top shelf of the fridge
- Offer low-fat cheese sticks
- Buy single-serving cups of low-fat yogurt or low-fat milk (flavored or plain)
- Stock low-fat microwave popcorn
- Offer Middle-eastern hummus or peanut butter with whole-grain crackers
Make dinner quick and easy. Family dinners don't have to be fancy to boost your child's nutrition. Just make sure you keep a few key ingredients in the pantry and fridge. Pre-washed mixed greens make salads an easy addition to every meal. And try these ideas:
- Store-bought roasted chicken, fresh or frozen veggies, quick-cooking brown rice
- Cheese and veggie omelets or scrambled eggs, fruit or veggies, whole-grain toast or rolls, milk
- Whole-wheat blend pasta with prepared marinara sauce; stir in shredded carrots and garbanzo beans
- 100% ground turkey breast burgers or frozen veggie burgers on whole-wheat buns
- Take-out or frozen thin-crust cheese pizza topped with veggies

Chilean Stocks: Curauma, Embotelladora Andina and Salfacorp
The following companies are having unusual price changes in Chilean trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are as of 12:54 p.m. in Santiago.
The Ipsa index fell 0.7 percent to 4,572.42. The MSCI Chile index retreated 1.3 percent to 2,591.06.
Curauma SA (CURAUMA CC) fell 14 percent to 25 pesos, its lowest price in seven weeks.

Embotelladora Andina SA (ANDINAB CC) rose 0.4 percent to 2,630 pesos and earlier increased as much as 3.1 percent. Chile's largest Coca-Cola bottler reported a 10.4 percent jump in sales volume during the first quarter from a year ago.
Salfacorp SA (SALFACOR CC) retreated 5.5 percent to 1,140 pesos, its lowest price since July 2010. Chile's largest construction company had its credit rating cut to BBB from BBB+ by Fitch Ratings.

E-waste is any refuse created by discarded electronic devices and components as well as substances involved in their manufacture or use. The disposal of electronics is a growing problem because electronic equipment frequently contains hazardous substances. In a personal computer, for example, there may be lead in the cathode ray tube (CRT) and soldering compound, mercury in switches and housing, and cobalt in steel components, among other equally toxic substances. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), more than four million tons of e-waste go to U.S. landfills each year.
How to fully reap the benefits of a converged infrastructure
Inside this essential guide, discover a detailed breakdown of the pros and cons of converged infrastructure, its top use cases, and the steps to take to prepare your existing infrastructure for the transition. Also, learn about hyper-convergence and how it differs from converged infrastructure.

Around the world, a number of initiatives have arisen to address the issue of e-waste, by promoting the reuse of electronic devices (e-cycling) and mandating that safer alternatives to hazardous substances be used in their manufacture whenever possible. In Europe, legislation has been drafted to deal with the problem, including the Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive and the Basel Convention. In the United States, initiatives have mostly come from the private sector, such as eBay's Rethink project.

The Face of the '90s May Belong to Vendela, Swedish Supermodel and Grace Kelly Look-Alike
For Ford the decision last summer to add Kirsebom to her glamorous roster was hardly agonizing. "I would have been a mule not to pick her," she says. Since then Vendela, as she is now known, has done magazine covers for New York, Self, Glamour and French Vogue and claims up to $10,000 a day for her work.
Her new earning power is amazing to Vendela, the second youngest of four children born to Ienge (pronounced ING-a), a graphic designer, and Lenart Kirsebom, a printing company executive, who are also part-time potato farmers outside Stockholm. "If I went home and told people how much I made," says Vendela, "they would die."
She hadn't even wanted to model when Ford, who thought she looked four years older, first approached her when she was 12. Her parents preferred that she finish gymnasium, the Swedish equivalent of high school At 18, soon after her first modeling test in Stockholm, she landed assignments in Paris and Germany. She worked in Milan for two years before coming to New York in 1987.
She has settled into a one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side and dutifully checks in with her parents every Saturday morning. "I tell them what happened during the week, and they tell me how the potato plants are doing," says the 5'8" Swede, who also speaks Italian, German and English fluently. She dates a 30-year-old New York businessman As for the inevitable comparisons with the late Princess of Monaco, Vendela just shakes her head. "She was an enormously beautiful lady, and at certain angles, I can see it But from other angles, I can't see it at all." Vendela flashes her classiest smile and ever so politely adds, "It's a nice compliment though."

Short of a miracle, no one expects the technology sector, including the company closest to my heart, Microsoft, to outperform during one of the worst economies since the great depression. At the close of the bell on Thursday, April 23rd, Microsoft reported earnings roughly in-line with analyst expectations once one-time charges for job cuts and investments were taken into account. I'm no financial analyst, and although I enjoy studying the market, any financial-market-speak from me is real stretch, but I'm pretty confident I understand this report.
One thing I can do is talk about technology with a passion like no other. That's why I've been an Evangelist at Microsoft for the vast majority of my career. Given my years of service with the company I like to say I wear my stripes proudly. As a former UNIX guy who stumbled upon a new world of techno geeks at the Windows 95 launch, I can honestly say I've seen and experienced quite a bit here during my career. Having joined Microsoft in what I term their early enterprise growth years, I've had the pleasure of experiencing the company's growing pains as we evolved our line-up of products from a small collection to the vast portfolio that it is today.
Now that you have a bit of context on me and the state of our business I want to direct our discussion to a money article I read online shortly after earnings were announced where it was stated that, "Microsoft can't point to anything in their mix of products that excites people right now". WOW, this completely caught me by surprise. Since I first joined Microsoft the range and reach of our technology stack has grown immensely year after year and continues to this day. Once-upon-a-time I proudly earned and held the distinction of being an MCSD and MCSE, but over the past few years I've had to readjust my priorities and narrow my focus on developer tools and application platform technologies just to keep up; the range of product offerings for the enterprise alone is simply too great for any one person to be an expert on.
I really can't speculate why one would make this statement. I do recognize that people's perception, hype and excitement in the technology sector is often inspired by the emergence of new gadgets and the coolness factor associated with it. Yours truly is no different in this regard. From a consumer perspective I know that Microsoft, with Xbox 360, Xbox Live and host of popular games is on solid ground here; it's still cool, hip, and definitely exciting. Our collection of hardware offerings, most notably keyboards and mice, compete well in the market offering a vast array of styles to suit most any PC user. And Zune, if folks would give it a look, is pretty sweet. Most owners I know would never surrender it for anything else but a new and better Zune.
Exciting and cool are relative terms and there meaning varies from one audience segment to the next. For us developer types exciting and cool usually come in, what some may consider less glamorous forms (however I would beg to differ as I think development is pretty awesome, cutting edge stuff myself), usually with innovations in frameworks, programming languages such as C#, VB.NET or F# or the introduction of new capabilities brought on by the introduction of Silverlight now in its 3rd generation. As a student of software engineering and after years of waiting, development teams finally have an affordable, comprehensive end-to-end application lifecycle management tool with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008.
I know software innovations may not be exciting and cool to some, but, I can't remember the last time I got excited about GE's latest product line and they've done one heck of job hanging around in the market for a hundred years or so – again the coolness factor is in the eyes of the beholder and clearly GE is pretty exciting to some as it historically has been producing some sweet business results to stay around this long. And, as we all know, at the end of the day, it's all about producing results, growing market share and expanding into new areas. Yes this economy is awful and everyone is suffering, but I believe Microsoft is holding its own while continuing to make a huge investment in research to innovate on today's technology while introducing new breakthroughs to enrich the computing experience for every one of us.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all about wanting and needing exciting new product technology today – to be honest that is why I have and continue to work for Microsoft. I have that insatiable appetite for new things to amuse and challenge me and I love the fact that I work with a company that gives partners, business customers and consumers the raw tools to develop and create so truly awe inspiring results. I am amped up about technology like Surface and what people are doing with it; I swear I've seen it on every major news network and crime fighting show on television. How about our free Windows Live Services offering? How did we ever function without Windows Live Mail, Movie Maker, Photo Gallery, and Writer? IE 8 introduces a great overall user experience with Web Slices, Accelerators and Instant Search. Last night, I used the Facebook, Linked-In and Live Writer accelerators, 3 of the 25 available today and let's just say THEY ROCK. I've heard for years how Microsoft doesn't embrace standards, and I can tell you from my own experience that over the last 8 years, with the launch of the .NET Framework, standards have meant everything to Microsoft. Did you know that IE 8 is the most standards compliant browser on the market today based on the CSS 2.1 standards? And lastly, there's Live Mesh, another Ray Ozzie brainchild. The potential for this application platform is unlimited.
There are the investments we're making in Cloud Computing with our Windows Online Services offering and Azure Services Platform. I truly believe our Software + Services strategy and the huge investments we are making in constructing massive data centers to support this paradigm shift in computing positions us well to deliver the most scalable, highly reliable and fastest performing applications for consumer and enterprise customers. The net of it is we are redefining technology as we speak and who better to deliver on this than Microsoft and its partners who provide online services to over 400+ million subscribers of Live and Hotmail mail services today.
Then of course there are our mainstream products, the technologies that used to be the sole bellwether of our companies success – Windows and Office. Let's just say Windows 7 is getting a ton of positive press as a leaner, meaner operating system with exciting new features for consumer and enterprise customers. Office 2010 is in the pipeline and though I have not yet had a chance to install it, the promised improvements in features and functionality should earn it high marks.
Hey, I'm no analyst and the opinions and words written here are that of my own and not of my company, but gosh darn I'm pretty excited about our product line-up. Today, I took a couple of minutes to jot down a short list of product technologies that I, as a consumer, developer and platform evangelist get excited about each and every day as I head off to work or sit down at a computer.
And I cannot be more excited about the investments were making in students, startups and partners to help invigorate our local software economy:
The net of this is that I think this is the COOLEST, HIPPEST, SEXIEST time in our history to be working with technology and more specifically the technology Microsoft is creating to take our customers and partners to the next level. Come on, I'm excited about our product line-up! Are you? Take a minute to shout out to me the mix of Microsoft products that you're excited about today.
