What Others Say
In 1970, we set out to build a new kind of law firm.
One that challenges how law firms operate, breaks away from traditional industry wisdom, and places the client at the heart of the firm. It's an approach that has helped us set precedent - for innovation, for effectiveness, for accomplishment.
At Haynes and Boone, we have high expectations for ourselves and expect others to have high expectations for us. Whether it comes from clients, other legal professionals or the communities where we live and work, recognition for how well we've done is more than validation for what we've already accomplished; it's our incentive to set even higher standards for tomorrow.

When the committee last met on January 17, NYCHA officials were criticized for not bringing their hurricane evacuation plan and for not being joined by Rhea.
Testifying Wednesday in Lower Manhattan, Rhea said that committee members already knew that he would not be able to appear at last month's hearing.
"Let me state with clarity, for the record, that I was not scheduled to testify nor be present at the committee's January 17 hearing on Hurricane Sandy. The committee's chair and staff were aware well in advance who from NYCHA would be testifying, and that the team did not include me," Rhea said.
After some heated exchanges during the first hearing, things were much tamer this time around. But authority officials did admit that they veered off from their emergency plan.
"This is one of those areas where our procedures didn't operate exactly as we had anticipated, and there are lessons learned from the consequences on the ground of the storm," said Cecil House, general manager of NYCHA.
They were supposed to electronically track residents who evacuated. And it took much longer to reach some residents than others.
"Some residents, we got to the day after," Rhea said. "Some buildings, we got to five days after. Some buildings, we got to into the second week in terms of every single door."
Rhea said that the housing authority is now moving past the initial response and looking towards future emergencies. As part of that, equipment, like boilers, will be moved to higher floors.
The authority is also exploring whether in some vulnerable areas, residents should not live on the first floor.
"I think we are looking at all of our options, but with a clarity around maintaining people's residences as a priority," Rhea said.
The authority will release an action plan in response to Hurricane Sandy sometime in the next month, according to authority officials. They will then will implement those recommendations sometime this summer.

Scola was traded to Houston. San Antonio was worried that if they signed him, he and Tim Duncan might develop a Darko/Howard type of negative dichotomy.
I sure hope someone is reading this thread right now. For the love of God, I cannot find the FIBA games that are on right now on my three tv's at my dogsitting job. I hate this about dogsitting. All these crazy tv systems with about a million different remotes and if you hit the wrong button, it locks you out. Anyway, who is carrying these Finals Games? I wanted to watch the last game because I've noticed that I don't dislike LeTravel and Kobe and even Mike KXDGHDKAKLJGI as much when they are on the team I am rooting for, instead of against. It's a real healing phenomenon. LOL. Please someone if you have DirectTV who is the cable provider for this USA/Argentina game today? And isn't it like....right now? AARGH!!! Thanks. AARGH!!!
Woo hoo LA Dre thanks for responding so quickly. It is as I suspected. It must be only on NBA TV. The dogsitting client doesn't pay for that channel. I guess I'll have to start giving a discount to clients who are willing to pay the extra $5 for the sports package. So I guess I'll have to miss this one. If I wanted to be a total idiot I could watch it in one of eight windows on the Direct TV Sports Mix. But I'm not that desperate. I haven't really been following it much as I have been on two months of dogsitting gigs with various and sundry tv arrangements and worse random and foreign computer arrangments. I finally bought a boombox and bunch of new cd's so now my entertainment hours are back under my control! Enjoy the game everyone. I was hoping to drop my distaste for Coach KZ down a few notches by watching the USA get a nice win. It's a shame about Nene. I really like that player alot. I hope his injury doesn't set him back too far for the regular season. Anyone know how serious it was?
LA Dre I found it!!! I called up Direct TV and gave them a hard time. It turned out to be on Fox Sports Northwest too. I knew someone other than NBA TV had to be covering this game. So I've got it on the upstairs tv. On the downside, I think I hit the wrong button on the remote on their HDTV so I've got a blank screen. LOL. Tay looks pretty good out there. Howard looks massive. It's so wierd to want Kobe to do well. LOL. And LeTravel seems almost tolerable when he is relaxed and not carrying the weight of the Cavs and his own legacy on his shoulders. Not biting his nails as much for sure. I've a resolution to watch more of Kidd this upcoming season. Carmelo looks primo and I do hope everyone will drop the Carmella thing soon. He's very strong, athletic and smart player I think. Chauncey, I don't know...I just don't know about Chauncey. Pressure, team or individually experienced, doesn't seem to help his game much these days. GO USA!!!
Now I'm really depressed. San Antonio got less than we got for Delfino. Couldn't Joe have offered something to Scola? After watching him play in FIBA, he'd be great on this team. Can play the 3 or 4. Money inside of 15 feet. As for the game, Lebron has J, scary. Kobe is Kobe. Tay is well, unfortunately still Tay. Dwight has the most insane inside game I've seen since young Shaq, maybe better, but he is completely useless more than 5 feet from the rim. This US team could beat the original dream team, man I'd love to see Jordan in his prime go one on one with Kobe. My money on Kobe. Scola will win rookie of the year, unless the fix is in for the top two picks. Delfino showed great passes, rebounding, jump shots, and some dumb a--- drives to lane. Scoop shot infront of Dwight Howard? Huh? He's lucky Dwight didn't break his arm on the block.
US wins the Gold - :winner_first_h4h: Argentina gets Silver and PR wins Bronze in a close game over Brazil. So US and Argentina get an automatic invite to the 08 Olympics.
Ok, so how does this work? This same FIBA USA Team is the same team that will compete in the `08 Olympics? If so, what happens if a player changes their mind about competeing? Or can they change their minds? Also, what happens if a current player can`t compete in the Olympics, because of injury, personal problems etc......?
As far as I know they re-select every year. I would imagine since these guys were busting their butts for the auto-pass that they would be given 1st choice.
yes.. As far as I know.. everyone will be back with perhaps the exception of Mike Miller.. he had a bad tournament overall.. there are 2 players that are most likely going to get slotted in if anyone leaves.. Bosh and Wade. I believe that LBJ Melo Dwight Amare Kidd Kobe Redd Chauncey Tayshaun are pretty much locks for the team with Mike Miller,Tyson Chandler and Deron Williams being the 3 that might be decided between to get Bosh and Wade onto the team.
Depends a lot on who wants to come back and what Star now wants to play. Someone like Wade can steal a spot from someone. It may not hurt to add another big. Overall the current team should be given 1st choice.
It wouldn't surprise me if Durant made the Olympic roster, especially if he puts up big numbers in Oklahoma City, oops I mean Seattle?
Mike Miller, Tayshaun, Tyson Chandler, and Chauncey are on the ropes as far as the olympics go. Mike Miller will most likely go because he shot poorly during the tournament. Tyson Chandler is not in as bad as a position as Miller, but Bosh could easily take his spot. Tayshaun got boards and played defense, but his shot was inconsistent. Chauncey slowed tempo at the right times and was a good distributor, but his shot was also very inconsistent.
I'm not sure Coach K is as concerned about having 12 shooters as Flip Saunders is. There may be room for someone or two who can distribute, get boards, and play defense.

Latest Reviews for Jewelry
Very nice earrings purchased for a special birthday. Bit worried that they would be too small, but went with it having read other reviews - glad I did as they were perfect! Arrived very quickly as expected.
The stone sparkled continuously and I was delighted when I received it. The valuation made me even happier as it was significantly more than what I paid. Very happy.
As good as they appeared in the picture and good value for the money.
Beautiful ring and we are both really happy with our decision. It was a surprise engagement and my fiance says she couldn't have picked any nicer!

DescriptionCasket Quarry has been frequented by ice climbers for 30+ years. There was some rock development here in the 80�s (4-5 routes) but the incredibly chossy exfoliating rock is less than inspiring so it was pretty much abandoned.

Even though the routes themselves are cleaned of large debris (mostly...) there are many hanging blocks on either side of the existing lines that could calve off at any time (I�ve seen 2 ton flakes come off without the slightest provocation) PLEASE - do not climb the Mixed routes at Casket unless it�s been below freezing for a week or so.

BEING ELMO: A PUPPETEER'S JOURNEY DVD Review
DVD Review
Available on April 3rd
Ryan Dosier - Every once in awhile a film comes along that is equal parts inspiring, heart-warming, tear-jerking, funny, fun, and beautiful. One of the few films I've come across recently that has all of these characteristics and so many more is Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey. This near-perfect piece of filmmaking is the work of dedicated and talented folks like director Constance Marks, producer Corinne LaPook, and a whole host of others who did all they could to bring the incredible story of Kevin Clash to the public. As you all (should) know, Being Elmo is currently available on Netflix Instant as well as on iTunes digital download, but on April 3rd (this Tuesday) you'll be able to watch Kevin's amazing life-journey any time you want when the film comes to DVD!
I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey on DVD from the filmmakers, whom I can't thank enough for their continued generosity. I don't know that I, personally, have ever expressed my thoughts on the film itself. There's not enough time for a full, detailed review here (which this film absolutely deserves), but I think I can get my point across by saying that Being Elmo is the greatest documentary I have ever seen--not just Muppet/Sesame Street related. The film has inspired me in more ways than I can express. Following the magical journey of Kevin Clash from child to puppeteer to TV actor to Muppeteer to major Muppeteer to Elmo to producer to director to mentor is truly, truly incredible. No matter your own feelings on Elmo, Kevin Clash is a man to adore and aspire to be. In fact, by the end of the film when Kevin is mentoring young puppeteer Tau Bennett, it is nearly impossible to not be inspired by Kevin and not fall in love with him.
As for the DVD itself, it contains an amazing collection of behind the scenes footage from the film, further interviews, appearances, and more. Of course, it will just leave you wanting more (because as insatiable fans, it's our job to want more, more, more), but what is here is absolutely amazing. I'll break down the collection of features below...
Some Thoughts from the Filmmakers
This is the longest special feature at 15 minutes, but it is absolutely incredible. There are interviews with the men and women who made this film possible as they talk about (and show off) footage that didn't make it into the film. There are some truly tear-jerking moments here, such as Kevin meeting a fan whose life he influenced greatly, some amazing moments, such as Kevin's mother talking about mowing the lawn (trust me on this), and some laugh out loud, hysterical, perfect moments, such as Bill Barretta stopping his interview to call Kevin and berate him about crab cakes. Yes. Crab cakes. You have to see it to believe it. It's awesome.
Sundance Premiere Q&A with Kevin and the Filmmakers
This is another really cool feature, and one that I think appeared on YouTube back when the Sundance Film Festival was happening. It features some truly moving moments from Kevin as he talks to the audience who saw one of the first screenings of the film. He brings out Elmo for some fun with Tau and his puppet and it includes the moment where Elmo makes a pregnant woman's day. Another wonderful inclusion on this DVD!
Tau Performs in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
This is the most magical of the features on the disc. At only four minutes long, it is still just completely moving and perfect. It features young Tau Bennett as we get to watch him live his dream of performing with the Muppeteers on the Sesame Street float in the Macy's parade--just as Kevin did when he was younger. The feature gives us moments with Matt Vogel, Tyler Bunch, Fran Brill, Carmen Oshbar, Loretta Long, Roscoe Orman, and so many others. But the true magic comes from Kevin and Marty Robinson. Kevin, who greets Tau excitedly and helps him get situated on the float, and Marty, who performs Telly while Tau performs Baby Bear. Marty is hysterical as Telly and Tau has a ton of fun right next to him. It is truly amazing.
Interview with John Tartaglia
When I first saw that this feature would be included on the DVD, I was confused and wondered how it would fit... but it fits so, so beautifully. John Tartaglia, Tony Award-nominated puppeteer explains how he was inspired by Jim Henson and then in turn by Kevin Clash. Kevin went on to mentor John, giving John unprecedented insight. This interview is both insightful and entertaining. John is a Muppet fan who made it big and it's a true treat to hear his stories.
The bonus features for Being Elmo on DVD, and the content int he film itself, almost make up for the lack of Muppeteer presence in The Muppets bonus features. Being able to see these artists at work is just incredible. The candid, one-on-one interviews with folks like Fran Brill, Bill Barretta, Marty Robinson, Caroll Spinney, and even Frank Oz are just pure magic in the film. I could sit for hours and just listen to them talk.
But the true joy of this DVD is Being Elmo itself. It is a work of true artists bringing the story of another true artist to the public. Kevin Clash's story may be old news to some of us Muppet fans, but even so, you are guaranteed to learn something while watching this. Likewise, you are guaranteed to tear up, laugh out loud, get shivers, and be inspired by Kevin's incredible life story and all the good he has done for the world.
In the film, Kevin says that his goal was to make Elmo about love. He obviously succeeded, but so have the makers of Being Elmo. They have shown the world that not only is Elmo about love, but so is Kevin. His love for Elmo, his love for Sesame Street, his love for Jim Henson, his love for his fans, his love for his family, his love for his co-workers, his love for puppetry, his love for people all shine through like glorious stars as you watch the film. Moments where Kevin sees a sick child or talks about Jim or shows other puppeteers the ropes are the reason this DVD is a must-own for every Muppet fan.
If you haven't already, I highly suggest pre-ordering Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey on DVD from Amazon or just saving up $20 to buy it on April 3rd. You will never regret it and you are sure to treasure this work of art in your collection.

Nice review Ryan. I remember the first time I had seen this movie. I was at a friends house spending the night and I couldn't fall asleep so I watched the movie on Netflix (since that is the only soure of TV he has) and watched. It was the best documentary movie I have ever seen. Tau is so lucky to be mentored by a actual Muppeteer and I really wish that someday I will get to meet a big name cartoonist or comic book artist! This movie also really sparked my interest in the Muppets! Again great review and have checked out Tau's YouTube channel? It is amazing?

Why maple syrup?
Canada produces about 85 percent of the world's maple syrup, an industry that rakes in around $C213 million each year. Our newest campaign encourages restaurants and grocery chains to boycott Canada's multimillion-dollar syrup industry. By persuading businesses to sign our pledge, you'll be letting the Canadian government know that the country is going to get a serious hit in the wallet unless it declares an end to the seal massacre.
If your local eatery is already using American maple syrup, pour it on thick (it's safe to use Aunt Jemima and Log Cabin too) and thank the owner that no seal blood was spilled for your breakfast or brinner.

Released on 22-Feb-2012

Little Deviants offers 30 mini-games in total, showcasing all the cool new features of PlayStation®Vita. For example, pressing the rear touch pad will make the game world swell and bulge and tapping on the touchscreen will knock the Little Deviants to and fro. Players can even sing into the PlayStation®Vita microphone or use the rear camera to take their gaming into the real world.
- Use all of your skills to outwit the fiendish Botz and save the Little Deviants. Get hands-on with the PlayStation®Vita system: tap it, tilt it, press it, sing to it or interact with your surroundings using the in-built rear camera.
- Get to know five crazy Deviants, each with their own personalities and abilities: Goopher, Blobber, Frostal, Pyruss and Nucleor.
- Invite your friends to beat your best scores via PlayStation®Network.
With the release of Sony's PlayStation Vita less than a month away, we're taking a sneak peek at some of the biggest and best games that are lined up for launch. We've never seen a better choice of games for a handheld launch, so choose carefully - or just treat yourself to all of them - when you come in to collect your shiny new Vita!
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
You can't get a much bigger headline act for your new console than the next outing for everybody's favourite adventurer Nathan Drake. Golden Abyss is an epic journey for our wry hero and it even manages to give the PlayStation 3 a run for its money in the looks department. There's of course a lost city to be investigated and - with the long-overdue inclusion of two analog sticks on the Vita - gaming on the move has never felt so much like playing at home.
ModNation Racers: Road Trip
Frantic lap-time competition hits the Vita with ModNation Racers, a game that features some of the most fun and furious racing around. What really makes this game special though is the community's devilish creations, all of which are available to download and share with your friends. If you like to let your creativity shine, this is a game that offers much much more than just a quick race around the block.
Everybody's Golf
As one of the most popular gaming series on the PSP, another outing for Everybody's Golf was a no-brainer on Sony's part. It's already leading the sales charts in Japan and is a must-buy for those who like their sports games to lean more on the side of good arcadey fun than serious simulation. Don't expect a walk in the park though - the game may not aim for realism, but it still offers up acres of challenging gameplay that will keep you competing for months.
WipEout 2048
The game that sold a million PlayStations and brought gaming into the mainstream is back and looking incredible on the Vita's gorgeous 5 inch screen. As a prequel to the original game, WipEout 2048 looks at the origins of the high-speed anti-gravity racing league and includes ten blisteringly fast original tracks. As well as a beefy game in its own right, the title will also support cross-platform play, allowing Vita and PS3 racers to compete for glory together. This is definitely one to use to show off the horse-power of the Vita to your envious friends.
Unit 13
It's impossible to even think about releasing a console these days without a hopeful shooter franchise leading the charge. Amazingly, we only got our first look at this beautiful third-person military game when it was announced in November last year. The good news is that it's shaping up very nicely indeed. As with Modern Warfare, the game offers a number of scenarios for players to take on, from dispatching terrorists, to intercepting drug traffickers and gunrunners. You'll be spoilt for choice in the role you take too, with options to be the sniper, technician or soldier on the battlefield, to name just a few.
Little Deviants
Little Deviants is very much Sony's answer to the kind of bite-sized portable gaming that's become so popular in recent years. It's also a fantastic showcase for the Vita's extensive features. Plentiful use is made of both the front and rear touchscreens, the Vita's gyroscopic functionality and, yes, even the microphone when you're tasked to make a total fool of yourself in public and sing your way to victory! A real treat for mini-game fans, this will offer up no shortage of chuckles for you and your friends.
Reality Fighters
Now this is where things get really interesting for Sony's latest box of tricks. Using the Vita's fancy technical magic, Reality Fighters lets player really put themselves in the game while fighting opponents on the backdrop of whatever happens to be in front of the Vita's screen. Once you've captured an image of yourself, you can customise your fighter even further by choosing from 16 different fighting styles that range from break-dancing to ballet. Ridiculous, fun, and ever-so-charming, this is one game that never plays the same twice. The action can be scaled up or down too, so players can fight like ants on the pavement, or as 30-foot monsters on the horizon.
As you may know from our Twitter, Facebook and YouTube posts, SONY have been nice enough to let us try out a shiny new PlayStation Vita.
Well, last Friday SONY rocked up to GAME HQ with cases more of them for us to play with, so that we're ready to help you when the PS Vita goes on sale on 22nd February. While we were having fun, we thought we'd share with you some of our first-hand experiences of this nifty new handheld.
Double the touchscreens, double the possibilities
At the front, a five inch OLED touchscreen. Bright, clear, crisp (the graphics were described as 'lush' by one staff member) and very responsive. Then there's the unique rear touch pad, and that's the real game-changer. You interact with games in ways you've never done so before, and the multi-touch feature means you can use multiple fingers on both pads at the same time.
In Little Deviants we poked the back of the PS Vita, to physically lift the world that we saw in the game and have our Deviant roll around in response. It felt like we were literally poking into the game itself and it's a refreshingly, immersive experience.
It's also put to good use in Escape Plan. As well as moving characters and obstacles with the front screen, you can use the rear pad to push objects towards (or away from) you and complete paths. Plus there are some moves that can only be done by 'pinching' both screens at once. Again, it's an incredible experience that needs to be enjoyed first hand!
Motion - captured!
The PS Vita comes armed with inbuilt motion sensors and gyroscopic controls, so the game will move in reaction to the way the PS Vita is being moved. We saw this highlighted in a few different games.
WipEout 2048 gives you the choice to play it safe and use the buttons and control sticks, or use the motion controls. Choose the latter - you'll tilt the PS Vita in your hands to steer your ship, slingshot around bends and overtake your rivals! Once you get used to it, you won't want to go back to using the control stick!
In Gravity Rush, after you stumble across a strange cat who (for some reason) grants you the ability to manipulate gravity, a whole realm of possibilities for a whole new type of platforming game are opened up. Specifically, moving your console around in 3D space to aim where your character will shift gravity to.
Both Little Deviants and Reality Fighters use the motion controls together with the rear camera, superimposing the action onto whatever you're pointing at and following the action around. It's real 360-degree gameplay that became less self-conscious the more we got into the games!
Two analogue sticks are better than one!
Successfully bridging the gap between the PS3 and PSP are the dual analogue sticks, giving a greater freedom - and variety - of control in all manner of games.
The forthcoming Super Stardust evolves the controls of the PSP version to something more akin to Smash TV (for you old school gamers!). The left stick moves your ship around, and the right stick is used to aim and fire your guns. This may sound simple, but the screen soon fills with tons of enemies and coordination between movement and aiming becomes crucial. On the PSP this was a tricky task; the Vita pulls it off beautifully.
Then there's the remote control carnage of Motorstorm RC. The steering, using the left stick, is responsive and quiet nippy, as you'd expect from a remote control car, with the cars being able to turn at extreme angles. Using the right analogue stick for acceleration and braking works like a dream as you can determine how much you brake or accelerate by how far you push the stick forward or pull it back.
ModNation Racers uses the second analogue in two very different ways - if you're lucky enough to be leading the pack you can see who's chasing after you, and by flicking the stick left or right you can bump into other players to knock them away.
Possibly the most visually appealing title so far shown off is Uncharted: Golden Abyss. PSP players have for a long time wanted to hold drake in their hands whilst on the move. As the Vita packs that second analogue that dream is now a reality as now you can aim and look around like you would on the PS3 versions. It handles like the PS3 version, too!
All together now...
Of all the games we played, there was one that proved to be surprisingly fun, and enjoyably addictive - Frobisher Says. Much like Wario Ware, Frobisher Says is a collection of mini games that use every feature of the PS Vita, whether it's to fan a lady using the motion controls, split clouds using the touch screen or even have your picture taken by the Vita's camera. It may not be at the top of everyone's list, but if you want a party piece to show the Vita's extra features off, look no further than Frobisher.
Social. Network.
One thing that really stood out was how well-designed the PS Vita is for connecting with others, from online chat and 'Parties', to social networking through Facebook and Twitter, and, of course, PlayStation Network.
Thanks to the Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity of the PS Vita, mobile PSN Messaging from wherever you are is now possible. You also have access to over 300 PS1, PS Minis and PSP Essential games available to download at launch - and if you've already bought it, you can download it again no extra cost. You can even play music and rent movies.
For more social gaming, there's NEAR. If you're sat in, say, a coffee shop or restaurant that has Wi-Fi then you can turn on to NEAR that will show you all Vita players that are 'NEAR' to you. You'll be able to see what they are playing, and join them for a game. And with Crossplay, you can even play against PS3 players on certain games, with full compatibility.
There's also the trophies. For some, collecting trophies is an obsession and to know you can collect them on the go is brilliant. Much like the PS3 system, whenever you do something that is deemed worthy, like complete a level, come first in a race, set the fastest lap etc, you'll be awarded a trophy that your friends can see and become jealous of. And by connecting your PS Vita to Facebook, you'll be able to post a status showing off the trophies you have just collected. Your friends now have no escape from your trophy collecting skills!
With all these social and mobile features, plus the selection of mini-games, movies and music, the PS Vita appears to be the missing link between the PlayStation and modern smartphones.
Anything else we need to know?
The PS Vita is easy to use and to set-up. It comes with all the leads you need to power and charge it, and to connect to a PC to help manage your content. There's even a 'Welcome Park' to guide you through how to use it. It also comes with an Augmented Reality card to get you going with the AR features.
But the real treat is how you can personalise it. You can have up to 100 applications, and even have different applications running at once. You can move and customise your icons, menus and backgrounds, including taking your own screenshots from within the games you play. It really is your PS Vita, your way.
Final Thoughts
We had a great day enjoying everything the Vita had to offer. There really seems to be something for everyone, from the most casual of gamers to the most devoted PlayStation player, and SONY really seem to understand what modern, mobile gamers want.
We've got a PS Vita in every GAME store - with a lucky 150 stores having a nifty pod - so why not pop in and try one out yourself!

One of the greatest sports ever invented. Combines some of the most amazing aspects of nature with high speed, technical skill and bliss. Snowboarding is as good as sex
snowboarding images | |||
2. | snowboarding | ||
Although the most fun anyone can have... ever... snowboarding is also one of the most potentially painful activities known to man. On a more technical note, there are three types of snowboarding:
Freeriding: This is your basic stand on a board and go down the hill type boarding. Doesn't take much talent... i'd say after 2-3 years you should have it down pat. Freestyle: This is the most blissful activity on the face of the earth. It can also be divided into a bunch of subcategories... -Park- Kickers and cheese wedges, park riding consists of taking air while maintaining a downhillwards (SO not a word) motion. While in the air, it is expected that you spin and / or grab. -Pipe- Or half-pipe... this is arguably the most commercialised form of freestyle. It envolves going back and forth taking air on two walls of what is literally a massive half of a pipe made out of snow (but usually frozen as hell, making for some painful fuck-ups). Once again with the spinning and grabbing. -Jibbing- This is what little kids who don't know how to ride properly spend all day doing. It's rails and boxes, mostly, but can be adapted to anything. Park benches, cars, roofs of barns (Jason Brown - Transworld's Technical Difficulties) Which is why it's so fun i suppose... still, those little fucks couldn't do shit in the next section. Backcountry: Off trail riding, usually using a snowmobile, snowcat, or (if you're a rich sponsored son of a bitch) a helicopter to get u... |

Snowboarding is cool Im almost as cool as snowboarding is. And im really cool.
4. | snowboarding | ||
Snowboarding has nothing to due with skiing, other than the fact they both occur on the snow. The story about the drunk skier is fake. It originated from snowboarding and surfing. I hope you assholes learn that! It is simply the best sport in the world! Also it is a great sport to show off to chicks. Chick-Whats your favorite sport?
Snowboarder-Snowboarding. Chick-Really? Let's fuck! |
5. | Snowboarding | ||
The action of giving two guys a foot job simultaneously. It's awesome. Guy 1: "Dude did you see Jessie give snowboarding lessons to those other two guys!"
Guy 2: "Yah man. I'd let her wax me up and ride me anyday!" Guy 1's dad: "Ummm...she already ripped up my slopes!" |
6. | snowboarding | ||
Basically the most fun...ever. The best winter sport period. Altho in response to "the angry gnome" I'm one of those little effers that just jib...because i have no place to go backcountry. So yeah, I wont say snowboarding is better then skiing...because i ahev never gone skiiing...but all those little 6 yr old rich skiiers on the hill certainly PISS ME OFF Dumb Kid at my school: "Hey look, that kid thinks she's so cool because she thinks she can snowboard"
me: *flawlessly grinds a rail* Dumb kid: *faints because of my awesomeness* Other dumb kid "Maybe i should try snowboarding..." |
7. | snowboarding | ||
snowboarding is the best sport ever, not only the best winter sport, but the best sport EVER. Not even hockey and football are even as close to being as awesome as snowboarding. Snowboarding is for real adrenaline junkies who don't wanna look like a douche bag by being a skier. Girl: are you good at snowboarding?
Guy: yeah, and I'm not a dumb ass skier Girl: lets have sex right now! |

No seriously, have I been living under a rock? How is it I've known about Donna and Rose and Jack and the Master and I even knew about Jack's Mysterious Kid way back when and I somehow never heard of this until like two seconds ago? Where does it even come from? All this time I've seen people going on and on about Lucy this and Lucy that and inside I was like "wtf Alexandra Moen isn't even in the specials" AND APPARENTLY I AM WRONG?
Who knew.
Having said that, sweet deal! I love Lucy.
And that pun was totally unintentional, I swear. The Pun Master must be rubbing off on me. *dies*
Oh and no worries, any potential spoilerphobes, the subject line is only relevant insofar as I apparently live under a rock. And 101 Dalmatians is awesome.
Edited for the third time -- sweet lord how many times did I use "under a rock" in one post? I need a ... phrase... thesaurus.

I know what is wrong with my mother-in-law's sagging roof. It was originally built with 1x4 supports from the roof rafters(2x4) to the ceiling rafters(2x4). The ceiling rafters broke and the living room ceiling was also sagging. We pulled off the drywall and replaced the rafters with new 2x12 rafters. But now I need to install a stiffback (or strongback) and raise the roof. But the roof is heavy. How can I get it raised? I was thinking that I could build another stiffback and attach it to the lowest point, somewhere near the middle no doubt. But where is the bast place to put these? Should it 45 degrees top each other? How do I know ho long to cut the support beams? Any and all tips would be appreciated. We live in west Texas and do not have to worry about snow build up. | |||
Not even close to a DIY job. There's going to be a whole lot going on when someone starts lifting. If you do not know what your doing on this one really bad things are going to happen! joecaption | ||||

I think you should consult your local roofing contractor for this. They have skilled laborers who are experienced in their job and provide you better results. | ||||
This is a pretty broad statment I'm going to make and will not apply in all cases, but I would not use a roofer to try and fix a sagging roof. Use a real contractor, as a general rule a contractor will know how it should have been built, should know how differant forces effect the whole building. (for every action there's an opposite and equal reaction) joecaption | ||||
I think you should be aware that wood DOES bend over time with constant force on it. If you look at the flat roof of any old commercial building after a rain, there will be a puddle on it. That's because the joists holding up the roof have sagged over the 20 to 150 years the building has been there just due to the weight of the roof (and snow). So, I'm afraid that what you MIGHT be dealing with here is not just the roof sagging against the force of the lumber trying to hold it straight, but the lumber itself having sagged and no longer being straight. Straightening that bent lumber is not a practical option. It'll take as much force over as long a time frame to straighten it as it did to bend it. You will probably need to replace the bent wood, and that will require rebuilding part of the roof. If the roof isn't leaking, then if it were my roof, I'd just leave it be until the next time you reshingle the roof, and plan to replace all or some of the rafters at that time.This message has been edited.

the roof is going to be a teardown and rebuild job, no question. down there in storm country, the roof should also be backed up with hurricane clips. you almost certainly have heard, "do it right the first time... use all the right contractors... use all the right products" as a "Holmes enthusiast." this is grade-A STRUCTURE. get a pro. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||

TORRINGTON — Pat Wall, Republican candidate for Litchfield Hills Probate District probate judge, acknowledged during a meeting with the Register Citizen editorial board that the entire process of campaigning for the position may not be the best method to select probate judges. However, as a consolidation plan takes effect, Wall finds himself in the position of doing so.
"I don't think elections are the best way to come out with the best 54 judges," Wall said during the meeting.
A fourth-generation judge and three-term probate judge for the Harwinton district, Wall stated that he would give up his law practice if elected. The Connecticut Probate Courts system will consolidate their districts, cutting the total number in half from 117 to 54. Wall is currently the probate judge for Harwinton, but due to the consolidation, the Harwinton district will be assimilated into the 24th district, comprising Canaan, Cornwall, Kent, Litchfield, Morris, Norfolk, North Canaan, Salisbury, Sharon, Thomaston and Warren. The 12 towns have a combined population of just over 43,500.
But Wall's experience is not limited to Harwinton, nor is it narrow in focus. Wall serves as the acting probate judge for six other districts, and has researched various fields as they arise. One example Wall cited during the meeting was the large number of group homes in Harwinton, as well as his experience as a sole practitioner in his current law practice.
"That's why I feel that I'm a nice fit for the probate court," said Wall. "I can draw from my experiences as a general practitioner. In my 29 years, I've practiced in all areas of the law, but I know my limitations."
This experience ties in to the roots of the probate courts system, according to Wall. Although a law scheduled to take effect Jan. 5, 2011 will require probate judges to be a lawyer and member of the Connecticut bar, probate judges were traditionally chosen for their expertise and level of trust and respect in the community, according to Wall, legal experience notwithstanding.
Wall said that the system of electing probate judges is incompatible with how the legal system works, stating that "I've said that to a number of people, and I've spoken to John Piscopo. I've told him that things have evolved." Instead, Wall suggested that probate judges should be selected in a similar method to other judges, where a selection committee appointed by the governor and legislature, comprised of lawyers and lay persons, reviews candidates and nominates potential judges to enter a pool. Superior Court judges are selected from this pool by the governor.
"If I am elected, I think that I will have standing to go before the judiciary committee to express my beliefs," said Wall, "and also to tell them my experiences on the campaign trail as to why it's almost to the point of being inappropriate to have elections for probate judge." Continued...
Wall disputed the financial reasons presented for the consolidation plan, a system that was projected to end the 2009-10 fiscal year $4.1 million in debt. Instead, Wall said that the plan came about from a battle between urban and rural districts; East Hartford, Wallingford and Shelton are each their own districts, although Shelton has a smaller population than the planned 24th district and the former two are not much larger than the planned 24th district at 48,697 and 44,679 respectively. Torrington and Winchester will be combined into the 23rd district, along with Barkhamsted, Colebrook, Goshen, Hartland and New Hartford for a total population of 63,324.
"I like the idea of a small-town probate court," said Wall. "They knew their probate judge, and could go before the probate judge with their personal matters."
Although his current case load is a fraction of the size of Diane Blick's — the sitting probate judge in Litchfield and his opponent in the race — his experience over three terms, as well as the differing demands of the Harwinton district, offset any such concerns. Wall said that he handles the same number of cases over his tenure. If elected, discontinuing his private practice to concentrate on the new district will allow him to devote all his time to the position of probate judge.
"I will have a full caseload," said Wall. "It's the largest district in the state at 480 square miles, it's the only district where the state will allow two offices, and there will be the same staff. They'll just have one judge doing the work of four."

Rails in a Nutshell is a concise introduction to Rails, an overview of commands and configurations, and a guide to the parts of Rails you'll be using every day.
Full of examples and explanations, this book kicks your skills into high-gear by showing you how to take advantage of the Model-View-Controller concept with tiny but expressive bits of Ruby that power some of the world's biggest and fastest web services.
Fast to launch and a pleasure to get there are hallmarks of working with Rails. Rails in a Nutshell gets the right stuff in your hands quickly and without fuss, so you can experience it yourself.
