Conquer the highest peak in Africa, mighty Mt Kilimanjaro
This classic Tanzania trek is the most popular route to Mt Kilimanjaro and the only one serviced by mountain huts to provide protection from the elements. We hike along the most direct path to the summit of Kilimanjaro and cover the trail in just five days, with the help of experienced guides and porters. Hike through forests and alpine meadows, over rocky ravines and past lunar landscapes to the spectacular summit of Africa's highest peak. The panoramic views from the top of Mt Kilimanjaro must be seen to be believed.

Intrepid enables you to get the most out of where you go, just don't resist and fall back into the beauty around you. They will look after you.

Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route , July 2016
Raylene Roberts
Intrepid allows you to travel on a budget without breaking the bank. One thing I love about traveling with them is the interactions and activities that involve the locals. You do things that if traveling alone or with friends on your own would not be accessible.

Lots of diversity at Montreat College. I really like that aspect of this college.
haven't seen any problems related to racial or ethnic issues
Montreat is a private Christian college but not everyone there is Christian. The school has a lot of international students as well as student from all over the US. Most of the students are accepting of others I am not really aware of the LGBT community but I am sure it is present. The cultural diversity is pretty obvious. There is a lot of different ethnicity and race diversity within the student body.
Most everyone is Christian but not everyone. There are some gay couples and some very liberal people but overall it is a conservative college.
This college accepts people for who they are. They accept all ethnic backgrounds, economic backgrounds, political beliefs, religion, and sexual orientation.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Montreat College is very diverse, especially for such a small college. International students from Ireland, Jamaica, Korea, and many other places have called Montreat home. Though the demographic is primarily Caucasian, students of any ethnicity are eagerly welcomed and ushered into the community. Sexual diversity is less obvious; there are not many gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender students on campus, though the number has increased in the past couple of years. Although sexual orientation causes some conflict—primarily due to religious differences and interpretations—students generally agree to disagree. Because many Montreat students focus on philosophical and religious studies, differences in sexual orientation are sometimes debated and often discussed by those who are interested in philosophizing, though the discourse is by no means forced.
Overall, Montreat is a very eclectic environment to study in, with people from all walks of life becoming your classmates, dorm mates, and roommates. Since students come from such diverse backgrounds, the history and culture they bring with them often prove to be interesting facets in classroom debates, cultural studies, communication studies, and other academic activities. Outside of class, most students love to learn more about other cultural practices, beliefs, and new ways of thinking, regardless of whether they agree with it. Although disagreements do arise between students' various beliefs, especially where sexuality or religion is concerned, most students use their diverse living environments to learn and love, benefiting themselves and the College.

Community assembly of Diptera following restoration of mined boreal bogs: taxonomic and functional diversity

Peat mining causes major degradation to bogs and natural regeneration of these sites is slow and often incomplete. Thus, restoration is an important tool for re-establishing natural ecosystem properties (although perhaps not the original species pool) in mined bogs. Because faunal recovery cannot be taken for granted following plant restoration, we assessed community assembly of higher flies (Diptera: Brachycera) in previously mined bogs 7 years after restoration. Species assemblages in restored sites were compared to those in nearby natural and abandoned mined sites. The three treatment types did not differ significantly in overall species composition, suggesting high resilience to disturbance. However, species richness and evenness were generally lower in abandoned sites than restored and natural sites, which had similar abundance distributions, indicating that restoration enhanced recovery of species diversity and community structure. Functional traits (trophic group, body size) provided a different insight into the status of restored sites. Trophic and small size-class (<5 mm) composition in restored sites were similar to those in abandoned sites. However, high species richness estimates indicated that predators and saprophages successfully colonized restored sites. Species assemblages were mostly affected by coverage of bare peat, Sphagnum mosses and ericaceous shrubs; trophic assemblages were affected by variables directly linked to feeding habits. Our results suggest that active restoration is needed for the renewal of high species and trophic diversity, although it is clear from environmental conditions and functional traits that the restored sites are not yet fully functioning peatlands 7 years after restoration.

You're Fired, Trump Tells Himself; He Won't Be Moderating Any Debate
He'd hinted that this might happen.
And now Donald Trump has decided he won't moderate a Republican presidential debate after all, because, he says, it might be a conflict of interest since he still just might, maybe, could run for president in 2012 as an independent.
Of course, the scheduled Dec. 27 event was down to only two candidates — former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Sen. Rick Santorum.
Our friend Frank James will figure out what this all means, if anything, on It's All Politics.
Update at 4 p.m. ET. Trump Has Posted A Video Explaining His Thinking.

Obama Aide Brennan Presses Yemen Leadership for Political Change
President Barack Obama's top counterterrorism aide met with senior Yemeni officials in Sana'a, the capital, a day after urging President Ali Abdullah Saleh to honor a promise to end his three-decade rule.
John Brennan, Obama's assistant for counterterrorism and homeland security, met yesterday with Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansur Hadi, the state-run Saba news agency reported. He also held talks with the chief of general staff, Ahmed al-Ashwal; Ahmed Saleh, a son of Saleh who heads the Republican Guards; and Foreign Minister Abubakr al-Qirbi, with whom he discussed a proposal by the Gulf Cooperation Council for Saleh to step down.
In Saudi Arabia on July 10, Brennan asked Saleh "to fulfill expeditiously his pledge to sign the GCC-brokered agreement for peaceful and constitutional political transition in Yemen," according to a White House statement on July 10. Saleh is in Riyadh recovering from injuries sustained during a June 3 attack on his presidential compound in Sana'a.
The White House had no comment on Brennan's meetings in Sana'a.
Tens of thousands protested yesterday in Sana'a, Taiz and other cities to denounce U.S.-Saudi interference and urge the Saudi government to hand Saleh over for prosecution. They also demanded the removal of Saleh's relatives from government positions and the formation of a transitional council to run the Arab Peninsula nation.
Pro-democracy protesters have called for an end to Saleh's rule since January. Hundreds of people have died in clashes between activists and government forces since then as Yemen's economy and security worsens. Saleh has refused to sign the GCC plan on three occasions since May, after initially backing it.
Saleh Plans Return
Saleh will return to Yemen on July 17, the 33rd anniversary of his taking office, Al Arabiya television said over the weekend, citing an unidentified official. Saleh chose that date to send a message that he's still the legitimate president of Yemen until September 2013, Al Arabiya cited the official as saying.
The GCC accord requires Saleh to step down within 30 days of it being signed and hand power over to his deputy in exchange for immunity from prosecution. The handover would be followed by elections.
Once the pledge is signed, "much needed assistance will flow to Yemen," according to the July 10th U.S. statement. "The United States believes that a transition in Yemen should begin immediately so that the Yemeni people can realize their aspirations."
Resolving the Crisis
Brennan "emphasized the importance of resolving the political crisis in Sana'a" and wished Saleh "a speedy recovery," according to the statement. He also reiterated the U.S. government's condemnation of the attack on Saleh.
Hundreds of Yemeni citizens have been killed in attacks by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the statement said. An end to the political crisis is needed "so that the Yemeni government and people can successfully confront the serious challenges they face," it said.
Forces in the province of Abyan killed four al-Qaeda militants and wounded two others in clashes, Saba said July 10. A Yemeni soldier was also killed and four others injured in the fight, it said.

Rolling and Strolling
By KEITH SCHNEIDER
Published: July 6, 2003
ONE of the many joys of biking and hiking by day and sleeping indoors rather than camping at night is that the days bring the same exertion that hardens your body -- but the evenings are so much more comfortable. The arrangement, in other words, is perfect for a couple who love adventure and take pride in their stamina but like to finish the day with a shower, a good meal, and a comfortable bed.
As my wife, Pam, and I discovered last August, one of the great areas to bike, hike and then relax in comfort is the southern Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
We first heard about the Gulf Islands during an earlier biking trip on Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. A fellow we met gushed about the islands' lightly traveled roads, old-growth forest reserves, interesting trails, marine reserves and wildlife. He also said good food and comfortable inns could be had at fair prices.
That is what we found in two weeks of riding and walking through a Pacific Northwest landscape with magnificent public parks, miles of hiking trails ending in splendid views, and two-lane roads that are safe for biking even in peak summer season. The Gulf Islands also lie an easy bike ride away from the provincial parks of southern Vancouver Island and Victoria, one of the continent's most charming small cities.
We began our tour with a three-day visit to North and South Pender Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride from the Swartz Bay terminal on Vancouver Island. Of the three Gulf Islands that we toured, the Penders had the steepest hills, particularly the one at the center of North Pender where our destination, the Eatenton House bed-and-breakfast, lay almost at the summit.
William Childs, the innkeeper, was a good cook and a fount of island knowledge. We followed his guidance and spent most of our time on South Pender Island, which had a great hike to the top of Mount Norman -- about an hour climb through thick forests to the summit -- and came back down to an even more interesting walk through the Beaumont Provincial Marine Park.
There we followed the trail through a forest of ancient cedars more than 150 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter, and then down steeply to the shores of Bedwell Harbor, where we walked at low tide across a black sand beach. In the shadowed cracks of big boulders, huge purple starfish were fixed to the rocks. We also came across Poet's Cove, a small resort tucked into a tight little valley along the coast where we ate crab cakes overlooking an active marina.
After lunch Pam found a trail behind the resort that wandered south through the forest and along a bluff, crossing seaside meadows and several overlooks. Much of that afternoon we watched sailboats and fishing boats head to the open water of the Haro Strait.
Our stay on Pender lasted through a Saturday, long enough to bike to the crowded weekly farmers market. The island's artisans and organic farmers sold blueberries, vegetables, jams and jellies, homemade dog bones, beaded jewelry, and clothing woven from home-spun wool. It reminded me of the markets in the Catskills, around Woodstock, that I frequented in the mid-1970's.
We reached Galiano Island -- 17 miles long and 3 miles wide at its widest point, the longest and narrowest Gulf Island -- by ferry. The BC Ferries make frequent daily stops at each of the Gulf Islands, and our bikes, carefully packed and lightly loaded, were easy to walk on and off. We rode from the ferry terminal at Sturdies Bay to Bluffs Park, where we hid the bikes in the underbrush and then followed the narrow trail down on foot to a grove of old-growth fir and cedar.
Farther on we hiked about an hour to the top of 1,020-foot Mount Galiano and looked down at the blue and white BC Ferries churn through Active Pass, the island's maritime main street. In the distance, we counted the San Juan Islands in Washington State, and some 60 miles due south, the Olympic Mountains appeared in the haze beyond the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
On the ride to our room at the Clearview Guest House, we came across the Hummingbird Pub, a tavern set in the woods on the main Sturdies Bay Road. The chowder and blueberry pie were first rate.
Our third island, Mayne -- all nine hilly, rocky, forested square miles of it -- turned out to be our favorite. We stayed at the Mayne Inn, a relaxed seaside retreat with a full bar, a talented chef and an expansive deck overlooking an inlet of the Strait of Georgia. By then we'd set a nice daily rhythm of breakfasting by the sea, biking for a few hours, having a leisurely lunch, and hiking in the afternoon.
The island's 900 residents are working hard to conserve their natural heritage and recently added land to Mount Parke Park, at the island's center. We hiked up Mount Parke's steep flank and were rewarded with a view of the snow-peaked summit of Mount Baker, a towering volcanic cone 70 miles east in Washington State.
Another day we rode to the historic lighthouse at Georgina Point, where Active Pass meets the Strait of Georgia, and then walked east in the bright sunshine on long, rocky shelves worn smooth by the tide and currents. Just offshore the sea had cut a narrow channel deep enough for swimming, I dived into the chilly water, and when I came up for air a sea lion cruised by so close I could see her whiskers as she pulled herself onto a rock. Then came another, larger and white, and another and another until the tiny atoll 60 yards from shore was draped in warming sea mammals.
I was delighted, and not only because of the odd way the animals heaved themselves out of the chilly water. I also marveled at what it takes to preserve such ready access to wild creatures.

This film celebrates a community arts project, commissioned by Arts for Health Cornwall as part of Penryn Arts Festival, to provide a lasting reminder of what people can make together and to demonstrate the role of participatory community arts practice in strengthening and sustaining communities.
Over 300 people from this small town were involved in creating an arts installation which represented the diverse communities who live and work in and around Penryn. The project was about celebrating and enhancing connections, linking people and spaces and promoting social well-being for individuals and the community as a whole.

I replaced the Patchwork header with my own picture, now I'd like to get rid of the quilt behind the header and the heavy dark box around header. How can I do that?
Thanks, Diane
Try querying issues on your own thread.
Hi Diane. You can read about how to remove the quilted header in this very thread. See the suggestions from other users above for how to do this. I always recommend using a child theme for major modifications like this, so your changes will not be overwritten by future theme updates.
As Andrew suggested, please post future questions to a brand new thread. Thanks!
Hi guys! I tried to re-write like this:
'.style-maude #masthead {
background-image: none;
background-color: #63b6b1;
border-bottom: 10px solid #46433a;
And nothing is changing! I'd just like to take off the patchwork theme and put the same background color!
Could you help me?

Exploring Israel
Wed, 23 Mar 2011 - 9:45 AM CST
Location. Location. Location. These three words best describe Israel's desirability as a travel destination.
Israel is the only country ideally situated between three continents: Europe on the northwest, Asia on the east and Africa on the southwest. Its geographic location provides a perfect setting for tourists of diverse tastes and travel pre-requisites.
Measuring only 10,000 square miles, Israel has lured the interest and captured the attention of centuries-old civilizations. As an essential route to the Middle East, Israel became a coveted quest for avaricious nations aspiring to dominate the region. History lovers and archaeology enthusiasts indulge in Israel's significant contributions toward exploring these past civilizations. Evidence exists--the remains of distinct cultures as nations relinquished their dominion to the influence and control of other nations' mightier and more powerful domains.
Novice and impassioned historians and archaeologists marvel at the fascinating facts and exceptional antiquities discovered in Israel. Throughout Israel, myriad artifacts give testimony to historical findings. Fortresses, aqueducts, amphitheaters, and churches are some of the many rare remaining pieces of evidence on permanent display from cultures and civilizations that once governed the region.
Serving as a crossroad that connected the Northern and Southern Kingdoms in the Middle East, Israel was occupied by civilizations that date thousands of years before Christ. Sites such as Armageddon (Megiddo), with its more than 26 layers of earlier civilizations, and Bet Shean, with its 20 layers of past civilizations, attest to the truth of the Bible and offer proof that Israel is the cradle of civilization.
Through sophisticated technology, experts have confirmed the Bible. Visitors can witness the Bible come to life at tourist attractions that reaffirm biblical events. For example, an inscription at Tel Dan clearly mentions King David as "the King of the House of David." A decorated sarcophagus indicates in ancient Hebrew letters the name of the high priest Joseph, son of Caiaphas. A momentous discovery in Caesarea unveils the name of Pontius Pilate.
R&R vacationers especially appreciate the health resorts and therapeutic spas. Hot springs, natural to the region, welcome visitors. Visitors converge on the Dead Sea area, a panacea, where they can be swathed in mineral-rich mud packs. This salty body of water is abundant with minerals comprising 33 to 34 percent of the water. These components make the Dead Sea a superb therapeutic remedy in the treatment of rheumatism and arthritis. Because the Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth, 1,300 feet below sea level, the area surrounding it has a natural extra atmospheric layer, which filters harmful ultraviolet rays and also aids in curing psoriasis.
Climate adds special appeal, making it a year-round tourist destination. Its location makes it possible for Israel to enjoy four seasons, with a luxuriant summer lasting from 6 to 7 months. Winter is mild. Flora and fauna are bountiful all year. Birds from the neighboring continents migrate to Israel and, in some areas, birds from all over the world can be observed.
Israel is a paradise for the sea world and a mecca for scuba divers. The narrow Gulf of Eilat is ideally suited for scuba diving. Two island at the southern access to the Persian Gulf block the water, preventing the water from circulating in the Gulf of Eilat, creating astonishing tropical water conditions.
Israel provides tourists of diverse lifestyles a panorama of an alluring, intriguing, and enchanting culture. It welcomes visitors from all over the world who are anxious to experience an enticing traveler's treasure trove.

O'Gara's Bar and Grill moving away from live music
O'Gara's Bar and Grill opened its doors at Selby and Snelling Avenues in March of 1941. A lot has changed in that time, but the pub remains family-owned in its original building. In the 1980s the bar expanded into hosting live music, with the Skunks taking stage at the Garage in 1988.
Recently, the pub re-modeled the Garage and given it a new moniker, the Shanty. The 600-capacity room still holds the same stage and soundboard, but the room has been made-over for a warmer, more comfortable experience: one that includes more TVs and gaming options. Gimme Noise got hold of co-owners Kris and Dan O'Gara to talk about the remodeling and what role live music will play at the new Shanty.
Gimme Noise: How often will The Shanty be used to host live music compared with The Garage?
Less than before. We are looking at steering away from live music and doing more recorded music. As of now, we still have live music Friday nights and are looking to maybe do a country/ladies night on Thursdays with a combination of live and recorded music.
What is the reason for hosting less live music?
We weren't seeing the number of people come through the doors as we have in the past with live music. Whenever Dan and I went out, we always noticed the younger people dancing to more recorded music.
How much has Twin Cities live music played a role in O'Gara's development over the years?
Live music has been a big part of our identity since the late '80s. The room opened as a DJ club in 1985 and then switched to live music in 1988. The music scene has been very cyclical.
What was the impetus behind the re-model?
The Garage need a new vision and needed some updating. We've created a different vibe with warmer colors, new furniture, games, craft beers, tall boys, and wall-hangings.
What are the pros and cons of running a family business (now in its third generation)?
Pros: working with family members.
Cons: working with family members.
The Shanty hosts live music every Friday, Shake the Shanty on Saturday nights, and a number of charity events are upcoming in March, including With One Breath, The Dragon Divas, and Rock the Cure. In addition, the bar is planning festivities for their annual St. Patrick's Day celebration.

NEW YORK - Stocks edged higher Friday as another drop in oil prices helped Wall Street withstand the effects of a disappointing jobs creation report. The major indexes achieved a second straight week of gains.
Oil's performance helped investors look past a worrisome jobs report. The Labor Department said there were 112,000 new jobs in November, far less than the 200,000 Wall Street expected. Furthermore, October's blockbuster gains of 330,000 were adjusted down to 307,000.
"Certainly, the jobs number was a surprise, but it's still a positive," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank in Chicago. "It still demonstrates that our economy is moving forward and creating jobs. And oil's been a nice boost this week as well."
While the economic news has been disappointing, Wall Street managed post gains for the week thanks to a 13 percent drop in crude oil futures over the past three sessions. For the week, the Dow gained 0.67 percent, the S&P 500 was up 0.72 percent and the Nadsaq rose 2.19 percent.

News from EC ASA
In 2012, NCASA started running tournaments in the hopes of bringing a new standard of tournaments to Eastern NC. The goal wasn't and has never been to be the biggest. The goal was simply to provide a different option where the young ladies that play this sport feel valued and appreciated. Simply stated - We wanted to make a positive impact that would perhaps help fuel their desire/passion to keep playing and enjoy everything that softball has to offer. During our first few years, we managed to hit that goal by providing better awards - more recognition at events - scholarship opportunities and discount opportunities for teams. As other organizations caught up with us in terms of awards and recognition, we failed to keep pushing for that edge to keep teams playing with us.
During this time we have had
some great milestones. We've helped raise over $20,000 for
the Meg's Smile Foundation through our Bunn's Benefit Bash.
Which in and of itself is incredible when you consider that we've
only held three BBB tournaments and have never had more than 25
teams. As a matter of fact, on average, $160 of a teams entry
fee goes toward the charity. We've also raised more than
$10,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project through our Diamond Warrior
tournaments which continues to grow year after year. NC ASA
as a whole, awards more than $5,000 a year in scholarships and is
the only association in North Carolina who provides scholarship
opportunities to players from their tournaments. However, at
the root of it all, is being able to provide quality tournaments
with great officials in a competitive
So, we are getting back to the basics with our goal of creating an iMpact and will constantly strive to improve our events. Our partnership with Boyd Lee Park and the East Carolina University softball stadium is a key part of that. I'm very excited about what lays ahead in 2016 as we gear up for the remaining tournaments in 2015.
Please take the time to review the entire EasternCarolinaASA.com web site. There is a ton of information here that should answer all your questions about playing with ASA as well as some new initiatives we have.
We are very excited to
announce a new partnership with BOWNET! What this means for
NC ASA is that our tournaments in the Eastern part of the state
will offer prize packages that simply are unheard of. Not
only will we be offering some great BOWNET products, but we know
that you have to keep hydrated and there's nothing like a ice cold
gatorade or bottled water after a game. That's why we will
also be giving out YETI Coolers at select events. If you
haven't checked out BOWNET lately, they aren't just nets any
more! BOWNET will be launching it's own line of equipment
bags in addition to the NO Error brand as well as Ice Therapy
applications from ICE20. Be sure to check out all the cool
gear at our eastern tournaments!!
iMpact Fastpitch
A simple reminder to always
try to make a positive impact in someone's life, every day of
ours! Be on the lookout for iMpact Fastpitch events in 2016
all aimed at helping your players become better athletes and making

I'm using WP2.7 and the Inove theme v1.2.2 and I was wondering if anyone knows how I can enable the build-in threaded comments feature?
I've tried to implement the Javascript Comment Functionality from this article: http://codex.wordpress.org/Migrating_Plugins_and_Themes_to_2.7/Enhanced_Comment_Display , but it isn't working.
I installed the wordpress-threaded-comments plugin and it worked instantly, but I would still like to know how it can be done without plugins, because I have another custom theme where the plugin does not work, and where I also want to have threaded comments.

Kari Monsees, 45, is the new superintendent for the Raymore-Peculiar School District.
Monsees was hired in December 2012, and began his duties July 1. He replaces Jeff Kyle, who recently retired.
Prior to moving to Cass County, Monsees had been the chief financial officer/assistant superintendent for the Wentzville School District, located in western St. Charles County near St. Louis.
In a statement released by the district, Raymore-Peculiar school board members said they were impressed with Monsees' financial expertise, leadership skills and his familiarity with and enthusiasm for the initiatives currently underway in the district.
Monsees said he is excited about the adoption of the school's International Baccalaureate program, and also has experience in implementing one-to-one technology learning opportunities. He's also been involved in successful bond and levy campaigns and construction projects.
In the area of school finance, Monsees has received special recognition.
In 2012, the Association of School Business Officials International awarded the Wentzville School District the Meritorious Budget Award for excellence in the preparation and issuance of its 2011-2012 budget.
Monsees has been nominated three times for the School Business Official of the Year award, which is presented annually by the Missouri Association of School Business Officials. He was chairman of the MoASBO Ethics Committee and has been a presenter at MoASBO conferences.
The Cass County Democrat Missourian spoke with Monsees on July 23 about his new role.
What attracted you to the position of superintendent at Raymore-Peculiar?
"When I made the decision to a pursue a superintendent-level position, I targeted a few things. I wanted a high-quality school district with a record of great student performance. I also wanted live on this side of the state, in the Kansas City metropolitan area, much closer to my family and friends. It's a double win for me and my family to be here."
What are you looking to contribute to the district during your career here?
"I want to provide solid, consistent leadership and enhancing student achievement. This district has a great reputation for high student achievement and my goal is to provide the leadership to see that continues over time."
How do you evaluate student success?
"We certainly look at each individual student and that is true here at Ray-Pec as it is in many school districts, and help them maximize their potential is for learning with the goal being, when they leave us, they are prepared for whatever is next for them in life. It could be higher education, career training, the workforce – whatever the case may be."
What challenges do you feel will need to be addressed in the immediate future?
Growth: "We kind of had a reprieve of the growth rate in the last few years, but I don't know if I've talked to anyone who expects that to continue in the longterm. We're already starting to see the indicators of growth again in the housing sector and economic activities. It usually follows not too longer after that we'll see more students in our district.
It's one of the things my prior district was all about – managing and working with growth – so I feel pretty comfortable working with those challenges."
State budget issues: "Another definite challenge is the overall status of the funding of schools and where that fits in the grand scheme of the public sector. Revenues have been flat after a considerable time after a significant downturn. Long term, we'll have to keep addressing financial concerns and be as efficient as we possibly can."
What other things should people know about yourself?
"I am very excited to be here, and along with my wife, we're looking forward to meeting people throughout the school district community."
Monsees has been chief financial officer at Wentzville since July 1, 2008.
Before joining Wentzville, he was assistant superintendent five years in the Warrensburg School District.
Monsees is a graduate of Smithton High School, and received a bachelor's degree in secondary math education and secondary physical education from the University of Central Missouri.
He also earned his master's degree in secondary school administration and an educational specialist degree in school district administration from UCM. He received his doctorate in educational leadership from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Monsees and his wife, Laura, have moved to the community. His stepson and daughter-in-law, Christopher and Emily Anderson, live in Overland Park, Kan., and have a son, Jaxson.

As long as I can remember, the preferred print driver has been PCL5 or PCL6. It seems that PCL5 is going the way of the dodo, and PCL6 has more problems than I care to list here (pcl xl errors). It seems that the most reliable print driver these days is the PS (postscript) driver. Just wondering what everyone elses' experience has been and what kind of driver they prefer?
I prefer whatever one the manufacturer has on their website that will install and let me print out exactly to paper what is on print preview.
Seriously, I messed around with all of this in the past and I just don't think it matters any more.
I have a Samsung laser that installs as 3 printers - PCL, standard, and another that I forget the name. I did a lot of testing and everything I did (pictures, fonts and more) came out exactly on to paper as it was on print preview - no matter which printer I selected.
I really don't think that anyone should mess around with this, simply download and use whatever is available by your manufacturer and if you ever need anything professional done such as production printing, sent it as a PDF or whatever source artwork and let them deal with it.
Doing more research myself, I've found that Postscript, while older, isn't necessarily inferior to PCL. Postscript is primarily targeted towards graphics while PCL is optimal for text. Postscript can take slightly longer to print as it's spooled job is larger than PCL. There doesn't seem to be any downfall to using Postscript other than that. In fact, many graphics design labs that use large format printers will stick with Postscript.

Posted 08 November 2005 - 11:21 AM

Strategic superjumps can be great in games, but once you get up past about level 35, you just get sniped...

Where does this come from? Even at PAL 50 the TV's running at a higher resolution than a NTSC TV, dimmme barrrr
Posted 18 November 2005 - 12:50 AM
yea what does british tv's have to do with this?
Posted 18 November 2005 - 07:26 AM
FAQ on Bungie
PAL Xbox's have a changeable feature called PAL-60. PAL-60, when enabled, allows the xbox to use higher refresh rates. When disabled, it does not allow any refresh rates higher than a certain amount. NTSC (North American) Xbox's have this always on.
Why then, would it be disabled? Well, a lot, and I mean a LOT of Televisions in the UK and around Europe cannot handle the high refresh rates and the Xbox locks at off if it cannot.
What is the importance of PAL-60? Well, the high refresh rates and other effects enabled from it are NEEDED to do a superjump. Yes, they are nessicary for a superjump to work, and for certain normal bounces to work. As you should know, a superjump is sort of just a high bounce.
If you think I'm lying, you can turn the feature off, and try any superbounce. 20/20 times, it will not work. With it on, 13/20 times it will work. of course, only those with a PAL box can do this. Why? Well, as I did not program the Havok engine, I can only speculate that when you superjump, the resulting glitch from the engine operates at a fast rate and requires a faster refresh rate. Other games have this glitch too, including half-life, and if you use a bad monitor, you will almost never see the glitch.
I guess that promted me to ASSUME that if a tv can't handle a 60hz refresh rate...then it is a piece of shit.

I guess that promted me to ASSUME that if a tv can't handle a 60hz refresh rate...then it is a piece of shit.
Fair enough, I can see where you got your opinion from. The main differences between PAL and NTSC is resolution and frame speed. PAL is 720x576 (414,720 pixels) whereas NTSC is 720x480 (345,600 pixels), in a nusthell there's 20% more resolution in PAL picture than an NTSC one. The difference in refresh rates is 50Hz compared to 60Hz which isn't actually noticeable when you flick between the 2 settings, especially on my 100Hz TV. The PAL-60 setting is really the best picture you can get before you go to HDTV.

Create your own visitor map! Counters I've lived on the island of Puerto Rico for 35 years. The longer I live here the more I see and appreciate the beauty of the island. There is a "hidden Puerto Rico" that many tourists never see and even those of us who have lived on the island for decades continue to discover new layers of beauty. It is quite a lovely place.

Fall in Puerto Rico
Uploaded by: Juancho
Sunday October 21, 2007
Aguadilla, Puerto Rico
Caption: Summer in a sense is eternal in Puerto Rico. Fall in the Caribbean does not bring changing leaves and cold weather. Rather, rains and beautiful sunsets. This sunset lights up the western sea (Mona Passage) just off the island as rain falls near Desecheo island, an uninhabited island twelve miles off the coast of the mainland.

This paper describes our approach to support the development of large-scale Web applications. Large development efforts have to be divided into a number of smaller tasks of different kinds that can be performed by multiple developers. Once this process has taken place, it is important to manage the consistency among the artifacts in an efficient and systematic manner. Our model-driven approach makes this possible. In this paper, we discuss how a metamodel is used to describe part of the specification as a central contract among the developers. We also describe a tool that we implemented on the basis of the metamodel. The tool provides a variety of code generators and a mechanism for checking whether view artifacts, such as JavaServer Pages™, are compliant with the model. This feature helps developers manage the consistency between a view artifact and the related business logic—HyperText Transfer Protocol request handlers.

Louise Falls - why are these people doing a hanging belay under those daggers?
Foreshortened view of Louise Falls
Louise Falls
On our way to the back of Lake Lousie to climb Cable Gullies which you can see to the left of Jonathan.
It was pretty warm and the sun was very intense.
Cable Gullies
At the trailhead to climb Mt Hector.
After an hour into the ascent we have to take off our skis and boot pack it up this gully.
Steeper than it looks! Luckily on the way down there had been 10 cm of new snow so we could ski the gully.
After boot packing up the gully we skinned up for an hour or so until we had to put the skis on the packs and hike up this moraine.
Skinning up toward the summit. Shortly after this picture we stopped for lunch and geared up for glacier travel. The weather was like this or worse all day.
Roped up for the glacier. Reaching the summit wasn't looking very promising. We would stop often to route find and wait out the weather to see if it would improve.
We decided to turn back around 350m from the summit. At that moment the lighting improved to allow us to get some good turns in on the new snow although we skied the first several hundred metres roped up which wasn't very fun.
I had to really mess with this picture to see our tracks.
At least the descent was mostly skiing.
Mostly skiing. We had to do some climbing on our descent as well.
Still smiling despite the worsening weather.
At least we had new snow to ski. I have to say the skiing was pretty fun.
Our tracks.

Augustine was preaching on the parable of the great supper (Lk 14:16-24) from which three of those invited give excuses why they can't come, whose places are taken by the poor and the feeble, the blind and the lame:
Let us set aside all lame and poor excuses, and let us come to the dinner by which we will be filled inwardly.... Let us come and be filled. ... Let beggars come because he invites them who, though he was rich, became poor for our sake so that we beggars might be enriched by his poverty (2 Cor 8:9). Let the weak come because it is not the healthy but the ill who need the physician (Mt 9:12). Let the lame come who say to him: "Settle my steps in your paths" (Ps 16:5). Let the blind come who say: "Enlighten my eyes so that I shall never fall asleep in death." (Ps 12:4) (Sermon 112, 8; PL 38, 647)
