Tonight's "American Idol" gave us Danny, Kris and Adam battling it out for a spot in the final with an Idol and judge song choice. The guys took the gloves off and gave it their all. Tomorrow's result show is going to be a nail biter!
Danny started the night off with Paula's choice of Terence Trent D'Arby's "Dance Little Sister." This had Danny written all over it: high-energy, vocal improving during a sax solo sprinkled through out with corny dancing! I thought it was great but did seem a bit predictable. Simon criticized the song choice — funny since Danny didn't have a say. With that being said, I'm sure Danny would have liked to have a different song to work with also, since he admitted to not knowing it.
For however predictable round one was for Danny, round two blew off the roof. He gave us Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful." I thought this was an amazing arrangement for a song that fit his voice perfectly. From one church boy to another — hallelujah! Simon called it a "vocal master class" … not a bad Simon comment.
Kris Allen was at the mercy of Randy and Kara and they gave him "Apologize" by OneRepublic. Sitting at the piano, Kris was fighting hard with mix of nice falsetto and strong chest voice but the judges say he played it safe. I agree. I was waiting and rooting for him to really blow us out of the water and keep us guessing about who will go home. This round did not do that for him, not true about round two.
When Kris said he was going to attempted "Heartless" by Kanye West, my initial thought was "Heartless? Wasn't he there when Kanye performed it on that same stage?" But Kris gave a fresh laid-back version, showing his true artistry. It was very brave to go just guitar and vocals with three strikes and two outs left with bases loaded. He put himself back in the game! Tomorrow we will see if he hit a home run.
Adam (with Simon's help arranging !?) gave us a dramatic interpretation of "One" by U2. Simon loved gloating that Bono personally called him in order to clear the song. Who am I joking, I would be gloating also. No surprise, this was a great fit for Adam and he delivered a powerful performance for his legion of fans.
Again in round two Adam gave a killer show. He sang "Crying" by Aerosmith. Simon is worried that America will forget to vote for Adam, so he campaigned for him. I don't foresee Adam's fans forgetting to vote. We will see him next week in the finals.
I think we can all agree that Adam will be in the finals, so who gets the second slot? Originally I thought that Danny's "You Are So Beautiful" took away any chance Kris had to take it to the end, until Kris sang "Heartless." I think many people are rooting for Kris, so he is picking up new fans each week, but my personal favorite of the night was Danny's "You Are So Beautiful."
Tomorrow's result show really could go either way. What do you all think?
With the way the judges fawn all over Adam Lambert, I really don't think it matters anymore who sings what and how well. I am not an Adam supporter because I think he's already a borderline professional in an amateur competition against people who haven't had near the opportunities and training he has...plus I find his cockiness and faked humbleness really annoying. I wish I did like him more, because he really can sing....

Classic, comfortable
This is my second Bosca product. The first was a gift from my wife who selected for me a bi-fold wallet, which I have employed for over a decade. I was shopping for something as classic, but thinner and that would fit my more recent minimalist needs. The craftsmanship is outstanding. The clip is easily strong enough to hold ten folded bills. I liked the inside pocket that will stash a receipt or other paper slip. The shipping was timely. I would have liked a thumb hole for the window to ease sliding out an identification card. I think Cognac was the only selection available at the time of my purchase. I am pleased with the purchase, but it would have been nice to have had other choices then.

"The card turned out great! The yellow color was a little more green than I had expected and the print was very slightly grainy, but otherwise loved it!"
"I loved the design of these cards and the color options were perfect! I wanted something classy, slightly (but not overly) trendy, and quirky. I love how they came out. The thickness and texture of the paper was perfect and the printing quality was spot on."
"I am so happy with my baby girl announcement card it came out so beautiful. i used the Pearl white simmer (awesome paper) and the rounded trim (nice detail). The costumer service is excellent. I used the designer review and they called me (which i was not expecting) to make sure i was going to received the designer preview. I was also surprised with the shipment, it came so fast! You have a very happy happy happy costumer."
"Love this card, used the pearl finish and it is very pretty. The front photo quality is perfect but feel like the back photos are not quite as perfect. Would definitely recommend it though!"
"In less than 24 hrs of our family and friends receiving our birth announcement, we have received nothing but compliments. We could not be more pleased with these adorable announcements."

Best place to have a party on a budget – I organized a reunion for the organization i work for. I was looking for a place that did not require a minimum or charged a fee. I was able to find 2 locations. When I found Slattery and thought perhaps something was going to be horrible because you get what you paid for. Was I wrong. John Slattery himself was there to make sure everything went well and his staff was amazing again although we did not spend a lot of money. It was exactly what we needed. A place to get a big group together without spending too much. The space was great and private. I can not say enough. Everything was great all around.
A WINNER – We just had our annual women's luncheon. All of us once worked for a major airline. Some attended the previous luncheons at other locations and some were first time guests. The women and I want to express our wonderful experience. The upstairs party room was perfect – full bar, relaxed dining area, and private rest rooms – all on the same floor and no other party sharing this floor. Mr. Slattery and staff were warm, friendly and the service was impeccable while attending to the guests' needs. "The Midtown Buffet" was delicious, we had chosen Chicken Francais, Beef Tips in Burgundy Sauce and Penne a la Vodka. The mixed salad was chilled and fresh. The made-to-order Apple Crisp dessert was the perfect finishing touch to the meal. The ladies misplaced items and the staff always found them – honest and above board staff. The guests found the location also convenient to transportation and parking garages. We all had a great time mingling, drinking and eating. This flawless event was all due to the true professionalism shown by Mr. Slattery and his staff.
You will NOT be disappointed! – I just had a surprise 40th Birthday for my wife on March 20th with approximately 50 friends. After searching the web and considering a number of different places I was drawn to Slattery's after speaking with John and Justin, the owners, on the phone. They assured me from the beginning that though I was considering their bar/restaurant sight unseen that I would NOT be disappointed. I can tell you I WASN'T! They promised from the beginning that parties were something they have worked on and took a lot of pride in and they told me that the night of the party there would be nothing I would want for. Again, they were right! They gave us the party room upstairs (no additional cost) that was just PERFECT! It was a beautifully done room with big glass windows and a whole section of tables for people to sit and eat at. The room had an awesome sound system that they allowed me to plug my IPOD into and John(who was working the bar that night) cranked it higher anytime we asked. They took care of balloons for us and they took care of a cake. They greeted out guests when they arrived with signs directing them upstairs as well. We booked what they call the Ultimate Midtown Dinner party and it was worth it! The food was great! We ordered the Chicken Marsala, the beef Burgundy Tips, and Penne a la Vodka...all great choices! In fact when I realized a couple days before the event that it was Lent I called John in a panic and he offered to cook a tray of salmon as well with what they had till it was gone. VERY ACCOMODATING! In addition to the cake they served another dessert, some apple cobbler or something...and it was AWESOME! They had hot and cold appetizers passed around as well and they were just greatl! Because it was lent we ordered non meat appetizers...french bread pizzas, spring rolls, tomato and mozzarella...all delicious! I just can't say enough about how EASY these guys are to work with and how friendly they were! My guests just had an absolute blast and I know we will be back. The icing on the cake was when I called after the party and realized that we had 2 less people attend than I paid for that night. John did not flinch to issue me a refund for the amount and I have to tell you I wasn't surprised...these are good, honest, hard working people that will help you throw a great party and have an awesome time. Stop your searching, I've been there...it's no fun and you often find yourself talking to people that have more restrictions than anything...NOT here. If you have a need...ask...I'll bet you won't be disappointed at their response. Oh I forgot..Audrey was another bartender working the private bar for us upstairs and she was every bit as friendly! KUDOS to the entire staff their! These guys know what a good time is and they know how to throw a party! Don't hesitate to book your next party here!
best food in town – very nice Irish pub with great food and very good staff. could be hard to get a seat at the bar on Thursday and Friday for happy hour, but there's usually room at the upstairs bar. They are also very accommodating for parties and special occasions
AWESOME PUB – LOVED IT !!! Great service, amazing crowd, the tap beer is fresh and crisp ( no sour Bass or Harp here like 99% of the other pubs in NYC ). I didnt try the food but after the aroma from there I absolutely will, am planning anohter trip to NYC just around having dinner there. Thanks a ton
Bigots – I went in there with another English friend recently, it was full of very Republican anti-British Irishman and the barman was equally offensive and asked us to leave after one drink - this is a throwback to the IRA days, Gingerman opposite or Volcano next door us infinitely better and much less threatening.
Irish hot spot – I am retired from the restaurant industry after many years.
And some how cant help but voice my opinion on bars and restaurants that i visit. After my visit to slatterys i was very impressed. Warm friendly atmosphere. exceptional food. I had never realized that a Irish pub restaurant could serve food to this standard hats off to the chef staff and management at slatterys midtown pub. keep up the good work and i will look forward to my next visit.
Service – I saw a previous review about rude service and couldn't disagree more. The bartenders and servers are the perfect blend of sweet and beautiful. I have been to my share of bars and this place stands out as having the warmest service of any place that I've ever been.
I often come to this lovely bar in midtowb at weekends - good vibe, nice people to hang out and friendly staff.
Worst waitresses – Hands down the rudest service this native New Yorker has experienced. Waitresses were impatient, discourteous, had unhappy demeanor, suggested that I seemed "confused" about my drink order, and were confrontational about drink specials. An inquiry about a Happy Hour special prompted waitress #1 to stomp off and send over waitress #2, who arrived at our table with arms folded across her chest ? clearly not happy to serve us. Being very surprised by this entire exchange, we attempted to apologize for somehow offending waitress #1, when waitress #2 insulted us by saying she could see why her co-worker treated us badly. One round of drinks was all we needed to find that Slattery's employs the rudest Irish waitresses I've encountered in both NY and Ireland. Thanks for helping me find friendlier alternatives in the neighborhood.

Comments On Mar 06, 2011:If you simply need a chain that will be a suitable replacement for your stock chain, this is the one you want. It may be a bit wider than some stock chains, like the ones on 125s, but it is also stronger than many OEM chains. Very durable with proper cleaning and lubrication.

Dual Booting Android and Linux on Asus Transformer Part Two
A few months ago I wrote a post detailing how to dual boot Android 2.3 and Ubuntu 11.04on the Asus Transformer TF101 tablet. This has become by far the most popular content on this blog. However, development has moved on and the process is now much, much easier than previously.
I am not going to go through all the steps required again, which may make this a short update. Basically, go to the Wiki page and follow the very good instructions there.
I did not care very much about the data already on my Android tablet, so I ignored the Backup sections, skipping straight down to "Installing Ubuntu." Well, I did take the time to read the earlier sections very carefully, and one thing to note is that the described method is designed to be completed from a computer running Linux. Apparently it is possible with Windows too, the Wiki has a very short section on this, but if you want to run Linux on the Transformer, it is assumed you already have a machine with this operating system available. If you don't, it may be best to create a bootable USB stick with Linux on it.
The new version of this process is as simple as downloading one 850MB file, extracting it, connecting your Transformer, running a script from the command line and following the presented instructions. The total time taken to have a dual bootable device ready for use depends on your available bandwidth for the download, but I was finished within an hour late one evening.
Despite what the Wiki intimates, I didn't bother with building a custom kernel to activate the mousepad, this all seemed to work correctly using the OLiFE Prime download.
In terms of performance, I found Ubuntu 11.10, with the new Unity interface to be a bit slow and unresponsive at times. Instead, I installed the Lightweight Desktop Environment (LXDE). After making a few changes to the default apperances and theme, I now have a very nice looking Linux installation which performs admirable when compared with my three year old Asus eeePC netbook.
All default installed Ubuntu applications are available from the menu, and I am writing this within Firefox running in Linux on the Transformer. I have not yet tried all functions – webcam, mini-HDMI port, keyboard shortcuts etc – but I am assuming some will work, some won't. The key thing to remember is that the Asus Transformer has an ARM processor and Linux development for this is still in its infancy.
Overall, this new process is a tremendous improvement over the old method. Steve Barker and associated developers have done a great job in making this whole thing much more accessible. And development hasn't stopped yet! I wonder what the new Asus Transformer Prime, recently announced, will bring to the table.
Very nice writeup on using ubuntu on the transformer, as you stated, some things work, some don't, the Function keys do not on the keyboard and nor does the lock/delete key, but most shortcuts not requiring those keys will work just fine, the mini-HDMI and cameras do not work.
To the person above asking about the 3G Transformer, we do not have the secure boot key for those devices at this time, once we do it shouldn't bee too much of a pain to get it working, with the 3G modem, unlike other devices the 3G modem is a PCI-e/usb accessory so booting will be handled by the hardware, and the RIL driver creates the interface in kernel, so it should be a matter of using just like any USB 3g modem.
For the person asking about the optimus 2x, it shouldn't be too difficult to get at least basic booting, but IIRC the optimus 2x uses the 2.6.32 kernel, and is a tegra2 device, which does not have the most friendly of environments, as most of the drivers are GPL glue + binary blob. This kit will not work for the 2x at the moment as is.
Great post!
I'm looking for an android tablet to do tablety things on, but also a system to do android app development with … I'm hoping a dual boot Asus Transformer Prime will satisfy this desire.
So I'd really love to know: Does the JRE + Eclipse with all the Android dev plugin's work on a dual booted Asus Transformer Prime? Does the USB connection between the Transformer running Eclipse on Ubuntu and an android mobile device give runtime debug capability (run/step/next) from the Eclipse IDE?
Will this use-case work? Perform okay? Anyone tried this?
As an aside … I've been googling into using Eclipse through a browser (on RAP?), but can't seem to find much info on that – I'm wondering if that is still being actively pursued …
I tried this and it worked all fine, I tried to run the update to Ubuntu 12. when I restarted it and got to the login screen it started to flash back and forth from the login screen to the boot screen and i left it alone for a bit and it came up with a, graphix error I tried to reconfigure the graphix and it wouldn't let me. any help would be great please.
hey great job there, btw i really want to know if it's possible to run any version of linux or in this case the backtrack 5 on the asus pad infinity, im about to get one or should i wait for the pengpod, all i need is a good tablet with the sufficient power to learn and use in a comfortable way on any tablet so, any suggestion would be great. Thanks a lot in advance.

BRAF Gene Amplification Can Promote Acquired Resistance to MEK Inhibitors in Cancer Cells Harboring the BRAF V600E Mutation

Abstract: Oncogenic BRAF mutations are found in several tumor types, including melanomas and colorectal cancers. Tumors with BRAF mutations have increased mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway activity and heightened sensitivity to BRAF and MEK (mitogen-activated or extracellular signal–regulated protein kinase kinase) inhibitors. To identify potential mechanisms of acquired drug resistance, we generated clones resistant to the allosteric MEK inhibitor AZD6244 from two BRAF V600E mutant colorectal cancer cell lines that are highly sensitive to MEK or BRAF inhibition. These AZD6244-resistant (AR) clones, which exhibited cross-resistance to BRAF inhibitors, acquired resistance through amplification of the BRAF gene. A small percentage of treatment-naïve parental cells showed preexisting BRAF amplification. We observed similar amplification in a subset of cells in a BRAF-mutant colorectal cancer. In cell lines, BRAF amplification increased the abundance of phosphorylated MEK and impaired the ability of AZD6244 to inhibit ERK (extracellular signal–regulated kinase) phosphorylation. The ability of AZD6244 to inhibit ERK phosphorylation in AR cells was restored by treatment with a BRAF inhibitor at low concentrations that reduced the abundance of phosphorylated MEK to amounts observed in parental cells. Combined MEK and BRAF inhibition fully overcame resistance to MEK or BRAF inhibitors alone and was also more effective in parental cells compared to treatment with either inhibitor alone. These findings implicate BRAF amplification as a mechanism of resistance to both MEK and BRAF inhibitors and suggest combined MEK and BRAF inhibition as a clinical strategy to overcome, or possibly prevent, this mechanism of resistance.

Step 1Learn about what we fund
Step 2Understand guideline and funding cycles
Step 3Submit a letter of inquiry
Understand guideline and funding cycles
MacArthur publishes program guidelines to help applicants determine whether their idea for a grant fits within a particular grantmaking strategy.
As a general rule, applicants should base this decision on three related criteria that appear in program guidelines: the topical focus addressed by the grantmaking strategy; the geographic area covered by the grantmaking strategy; and, finally, the type of funding (i.e., general operating support, research, program support, etc.) that supports the grantmaking strategy.
Like most strategic grantmaking foundations, the MacArthur Foundation considers funding only those applications that closely match the topical, geographic, and funding criteria for a specific grantmaking strategy.
MacArthur's goals in the area of international peace and security grantmaking are to prevent nuclear terrorism and strengthen stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
Questions about this grantmaking area can be addressed to Director Emma Belcher.
What MacArthur Funds
Nuclear Security
Policy Research
In this element of our work the Foundation focuses on preventing nuclear terrorism by denying terrorist access to the fissile materials (highly enriched uranium and plutonium) that are the key ingredients for nuclear weapons. As nuclear power becomes an important means of diversifying energy portfolios and reducing carbon emissions, fissile material stockpiles are set to grow, raising the risk of theft or diversion.
We view nuclear power as a potentially valuable element of the response to climate change, so we seek to incorporate approaches into U.S. nuclear policy and the global nuclear fuel cycle that prevent access to fissile materials. Ultimately, we seek technical and political solutions to end the world's reliance on weapon-usable material (highly enriched uranium and plutonium).
We also seek to ensure that as policymakers review nuclear energy safety standards in the wake of the Fukushima accident, they do not unintentionally undermine critical security objectives and increase the risk of proliferation.
Supported policy research projects aim to prevent the theft or diversion of fissile materials from military and civilian sites, ensure that the inevitable growth in nuclear power does not increase the availability of fissile materials for terrorist groups, and end reliance on weapon-usable material.
In addition, we support a limited number of innovative projects that: 1) seek to effectively address, in a stabilizing manner, the strategic implications of deeper reductions in nuclear arsenals; and, 2) provide new insights and approaches to security challenges arising from national efforts to acquire nuclear weapons (e.g. Iran and North Korea).
MacArthur does not respond on an ad hoc basis to unsolicited letters of inquiry (LOI) on Nuclear Security Policy Research, but will consider them twice a year; deadlines are March 1 and September 1. We review LOIs in an open and competitive process, and we will request a limited number of full proposals based on this review. Learn about the format for Letters of Inquiry. We will issue initial responses within three months of each deadline. It can take up to seven months to receive a final decision.
Advanced Education
Effective policymaking on nuclear security matters requires the best advice from diverse fields, including the natural and social sciences, industry, and policy world, among others. It also entails public debate, which takes different forms in different countries but is rarely altogether absent. As a result, policymakers and the public need advice from experts capable of using their specialized expertise to inform policy decision-making and debates.
Because academic training does not normally build the skills needed to conduct effective policy analysis and because the study and practice of business and public policy do not normally entail specialized training, an interdisciplinary approach is necessary to develop the expertise and skills for nuclear security policy analysis.
The Foundation supports a small group of grantees that provide advanced interdisciplinary training in the field of nuclear security at the graduate and post-doctoral levels. The goal of this program is to produce a small, but highly qualified, international group of nuclear security policy experts equipped to lead the future formulation of nuclear security policies and engage effectively in the public debate.
MacArthur does not consider unsolicited proposals in the area of Advanced Education in Nuclear Security.
Asia Security Initiative
Launched in 2009, our Asia Security Initiative (ASI) has sought to help foster effective policy responses to security challenges in the Asian region. Going forward we are undertaking phase two of ASI. The initiative will remain focused on supporting research projects on Asia, but we will now support projects regardless of whether they are based in the region or elsewhere.
We will continue to encourage collaborations among Asian, and between US and Asian, institutions though such collaborations will not be a prerequisite for funding projects.
We will accept proposals on the following themes:
- Rising powers in Asia, particularly China and India – and the role of others, particularly Japan and the Republic of Korea.
- US role in the region, including rebalance and extended deterrence as well as Asian perceptions of, and reactions to, evolving US policies in the region.
- Geostrategic relationships, particularly US-China, China-India, India-Pakistan, China-Pakistan
- Leadership transitions/generational changes in Asia and implications for security
- Territorial disputes and maritime tensions
- Impact of resource competition on stability in the region
The program will be led by Dr. Emma Belcher, Director, and Dr. John Fei, Program Officer, International Peace and Security.
MacArthur does not respond on an ad hoc basis to unsolicited letters of inquiry (LOI) on the Asia Security Initiative, but will consider them twice a year; deadlines are June 1 and December 1. We review LOIs in an open and competitive process, and we will request a limited number of full proposals based on this review. Learn about the format for Letters of Inquiry. We will issue initial responses within three months of each deadline. Please note it can take up to seven months to receive a final decision.

Your lesson will take place in the American Comic Book Heroes: The Battle of Good vs. Evil exhibit. What makes a character like Wonder Woman™ or Batman™ jump off the page? Students will transform flat, blank-slate characters into round, fully-developed characters using details, story elements, and their imaginations. Choosing between good and evil, students will pair up and discover the importance of conflict to character development.
Classroom activities for before or after your visit
The following activities are designed for your class to enjoy before or after your museum visit. Familiarizing students with the lesson concepts can enrich your museum experience.
What makes a superhero?
Try the following with your students to learn more about superheroes:
- Select a variety of superhero comic books and stories for students to read.
- Invite students to bring in superhero books from home to share with the class.
- Ask students to look for superhero books in the local library.
- Have students learn about superheroes by searching on the Internet.
- Watch an age-appropriate superhero cartoon together as a class.
After exploring superheroes in books, online, and in video, ask students to define a superhero. Have students create a chart listing the attributes they think characterize a superhero.
Making text-to-text connections
Comic books typically have stories, settings, and characters that continue from one issue to the next. To help students pinpoint the connections between characters, settings, and events from one story to another, have them look for connections between what they are currently reading and other books that they have read.
Print the following sentence starters on hand-outs for students to fill in as they read. Include a line at the top of the page for students to print the name of the story they are currently reading.
The character in this story is like the character in...
The setting in this story is the same as the setting in...
This event is like the event in...
Discuss the connections students made between the stories.
Create a "round" superhero character
Flat versus round characters: Flat characters are uncomplicated and do not change throughout the course of a story. By contrast, round characters are complex and undergo transformations, sometimes as dramatic as a superhero. Have students create their own round superhero by drawing him or her. After drawing their character, challenge students to tell the story of their hero's transformation. How did their character become a hero? What aspect of the character changed—their physical body or their mind? Why does their character transform? What powers does their character possess?
Ask students to discuss other characters, not just superheroes, who have changed in a story that they have read.
Create a "round" three-dimensional superhero
Distribute two pieces of construction paper to each student. Tell students to draw another picture of the superhero they created in the activity above. Have students cut out the character and use it as a template to trace the same image outline on the second sheet of paper. Cut out the second superhero outline. Line up the two pieces of paper evenly. Staple the edges of both pieces together, leaving the head open. Stuff the character with soft tissue or cotton balls. Finally, close the top of the superhero with staples.

What is a Fair Amount for Montana's Minimum Wage?<Club VIP
Montana's minimum wage is adjusted from year to year based on increases in the cost-of-living. In January of 2013, the minimum wage will jump up $.15 from $7.65 to $7.80 because the cost of consumer goods went up over the last year (measured from August 2011 to August 2012).
Unlike most states, Montana's Minimum wage is tied to the cost-of-living because of Initiative 151, which passed back in 2006. Because of Initiative 151 Montana has one of the highest minimum wage rates in the nation. Currently, the federal minimum wage is locked at $7.25 per hour.
A little more than 20,300 Montanans received the minimum wage in 2012, which equates to roughly 7% of the population. A majority of minimum wage recipients work in the accommodations and food services industries.

Our music coordinator has been rounding up bands, for the Summerfest . He has some great possibilities and wants to share them with the planning team. Craig is available with the same sound system he provided last year.
Items to discuss: Date moved to June 21st, Knobby Tire Race to follow on the 22ed.
This meeting will be very informative and many volunteers are needed to pull off a fundraiser of this size. Last year there were over 100 dedicated volunteers. Our goal is to establish department heads and establish a budget for advertising. Food & Beverage, Volunteer Coordinator, Ticket / T-shirt Sales are some of the department heads we are looking for.
If anyone is interested in participating with this fundraiser, please come and join the planning process.
A second very important meeting will follow:
Strategy Meeting - April 5th at 1 pm in the lodge.
We will start the meeting with introductions and sharing of ideas. Many topics will be discussed for fundraising, marketing, and mountain development, i.e.: terrain park, race program,
Soldier supporters want to share their dreams. Each person will be slotted 5 to10 minutes of time to present their thoughts for Soldier, and how they plan to implement and fund them.
At 2:00 we will break, to form into sub-committees. Each committee will then plan to meet in the next month to collaborate an outline for an implementation plan. Please come to share your imaginings for Soldier, or come to listen, maybe you will be inspired to join our dedicated group of front line, Soldier Supporters.
If you have any questions you can call me.

Article for Soldier about ski runs by Valerie Metzger
Here we are in our second season! Last season Soldier Mountain had many upgrades, renovations and improvements and we had our first big music festival. Many thanks to our staff, sponsors and volunteers for a season well done. Now here we are painting and fixing for the upcoming season and getting ready for all of your happy faces to visit us again. One of the fun changes for the mountain includes the restoration of the original names to some of the runs and the naming of some new runs.
Soldier Mountain Ski Area, Inc. is always looking to include more skiers/boarders of all abilities and will have some new powder glades ready and will have the new cat ready for cat skiing/boarding adventures. And another improvement to make your ski day easier is the new Magic Carpet surface lift, a conveyor belt taking beginners up the hill so that we can teach kids of all ages. Soldier Mountain is a user-friendly place, ready for everyone to come and play.
Our history has always been a home-grown ski hill built on family pride and family traditions. Come join us in keeping the history alive and in feeling the good vibes of this unique mountain. "This is your mountain,"
Kristi Scheirmeier always says and we need you to come be a part of it and help us continue the traditions.

Peterborough police say on Monday (Feb. 25) around 12:10 a.m., a 36-year-old man noticed he was being followed by two men after he left the Mac's Milk store on King Street. As the victim walked through the Louis Street parking lot, police say he was jumped from behind. He fell to the ground and was assaulted, police add.

The victim called police and officers and paramedics arrived.
The first suspect is described as male, Caucasian, approximately 25 to 30 years old. He was wearing a dark hat, black jacket with a green neon stripe across the chest and possibly a white stripe on the lower chest, dark pants and dark shoes.

Independent news website UzMetronom reported Monday that President Islam Karimov's authoritarian government imposed the informal ban on Father Frost and his snow maiden sidekick.
The characters have for decades been regular fixtures across the former Soviet world over the New Year's holiday season.
The ban is similar to the semiofficial 2005 ban on celebrating New Year's Eve.
Uzbekistan has proven hostile to other holidays deemed insufficiently native. In February, authorities canceled concerts for Valentine's Day and instead organized readings of poems by medieval Mughal emperor Babur.
Karimov has been eager to eliminate Soviet culture in Uzbekistan.

Product Technologies:
- Sensaire technology: Detects rapid increases in moisture levels at the ceiling, where steam and humidity naturally rise. Regular humidistats located on the wall simply detect absolute humidity levels and are prone to false triggers, or not operating when they should. The Humidity Sensing fans turn on and off automatically to help prevent cosmetic and structural problems associated with excess moisture. Adjust the sensitivity level and run-time. Just beneath the drop-down grille are easy-to-adjust sensitivity and run-time controls. Choose your preference, set with a screwdriver and forget it. Of course, you can always override the sensor at the touch of a switch.
- Hands-free operation: Since you never have to worry about turning the fan on, Broan ultra Silent is ideal for problem areas in residential, institutional and light-commercial applications. Our exclusive Sensaire technology is a perfect solution for high-traffic bathrooms, or a kid's bathroom. It turns off automatically, and that saves money. Humidity sensing fans are ideal for anyone who leaves the house before humidity is properly vented. With a fan this quiet, you can't forget to turn it off when the job is done. That saves energy and money.

What he created is known as Broan-NuTone LLC. Today Broan-NuTone is a leader in the ventilation industry with over 80% of homeowners relying on them.

3 Questions from the Community
Can I wire the QTXE110S to be completely automatic with no wall switch? I want to install it in my walk-in shower.
Can this fan be mounted on the wall instead of the ceiling and ducted through the wall to the outside?
I'm a homeowner purchasing this for electrician, is a wall switch included (i.e. is there anything supplemental to purchase for installation?)

I have a feeling this might get moved to the travel forum but we're leaving tomorrow and I need quick responses. Either way.
So, anyplace we should go for dinner if we're headed that way. Whistle Stop is closed Sundays. We'll have a relatively well behaved 3 year old in tow. We like local places and are pretty much game for anything.

On my hard drive I'm putting Mac OS X86 on, it has all these formatted folders like $RECYCLE.BIN, System Volume Information, and stuff like that.
Should I somehow delete these? (How?)
And my hard drive is portioned into two, when i tried booting I Chose Fujitsu (Hard drive brand), but it didn't ask which portion to run off, and it said there was a boot error.
I'm using Windows Vista, but I have a Windows XP laptop if i need one to do something. I can't see the hidden files on XP.
And I Copied my OS X86 off a CD I bought, It works running off the CD. (on XP, dunno about Vista CD drive doesn't work. But I tried Vista at the store with it and it worked.)
The guy at the store said It was installing when I start it off the CD, and i should be able to choose which hard drive to install it to, It doesn't seem to do that (I don't give it much time though I don't wanna screw ups my computer). It doesn't give me the option of which drive to install to even when I do the -V thing.
So why can't I choose which drive?
Should I delete those Format files?
Will they get in the way?
Answers will make me love you.

Not again! Sigh.How about a mural of Africans capturing other Africans to sell them into slavery? Or a mural depicting the daily life of those who remained in Africa?
Dear God! Can we EVER move on?? I am sick of these minorities carrying on about policies we have fought to remove and they themselves, have never lived under! Got a minute? let me tell you how abominably my Irish ancestors were treated when they got off the boat..and how they worked and fought their way past it.
It´s not art, it´s pornography.
Probably my imagination but the white dude kinda looks like Clinton.
You mean all of those horrors brought to blacks by the democrat party?
The agenda is clear. Speak to poor blacks so they remain enslaved by ugly rhetoric and don´t realize the plantation owners are all other blacks and the entire democrat party.
So, is the library working on getting stereotypical art about minorities?
How about a mural of the thousands of dead white men who fought to end slavery. Keep picking at a wound and it never heals: this is the obvious goal.
This "artist" ?? was born in 1969 - in California - which means she came of age in the 1980s - long after political correctness had infected our culture. What she knows about racism came from PC school classes and media.Her art is childlike and superficial - typical of phoney political types posing as artists.
Gotta keep racial politics stirred up for the "progressives" to win.
Are they going to put a drawing of flash mobs and knock out games next to it?
This crude drawing should be hanging in the Clinton Presidential Library´s famed BJ Room, which provides an oral history of Monica and the hundreds of other women who performed the infamous Clinton Handshake on this still living icon of the Democratic Party. The same Handshake that NOW´s Gloria Steinem wanted to perform on Bill for his courageous stand on abortion.Painting gives new meaning to the term "black arts".
What the artist knows about Reconstruction is what she learned from her family and from the likes of Jeremiah Wright and others like him.It is interesting to note that an (obviously black) female employee of the library doesn´t want "my people" portrayed this way.It is demeaning to blacks.
I used to be against censorship. Not so much anymore since the death of common sense.
What about a painting of blacks shooting down other blacks in the ghetto, or knocking out old white men for fun, or flash mobs looting stores?
Who decided this was art? Who decided it deserved to be exhibited in the library?Perhaps it should be displayed in the home of the person who thinks it is proper for the library.I vote aye.
It was loaned by its owner to go in the City Hall. The city officials begged off saying there was no room for it. So onward to the library.
