X-CD-Roast: CD Writer Software
X-CD-Roast is a fully X-based CD writer program. It is a front end for the command-line utilities cdwrite and mkisofs. X-CD-Roast therefore reduces the task of creating your own CDs to a few simple mouse clicks instead of a long study of any command-line parameters.
The newest version of X-CD-Roast (0.96a in August 1997) provides the following features:
point and click X11 interface
automatic IDE and SCSI hardware setup
copying of ISO-9660 CDs, non-ISO-9660 CDs (like Mac or Sun CDs), Mixed-Mode CDs and Audio CDs.
mastering of ISO-9660-data CDs
creation of audio CDs
quick CD-to-CD copying (no need for a CD image saved on hard disk)
soundcard support
At this time, it is not possible to create or copy multi-session CDs with X-CD-Roast. You also cannot master a CD without creating a CD image on a hard disk; you must provide the disk space for the data and for the mastered CD-image. Therefore, you need approximately 700MB times two of free disk space when creating a 650MB CD. Version 0.96a supports only a very limited set of CD writers. The next major update to 0.97 will include the cdrecord program which will handle most writers on the market. Non-SCSI writers will not be supported in the near future.
Prior to the installation of X-CD-Roast you should check whether you satisfy all system requirements.
First, the basic steps when burning a Data-CD: The copying is very simple: first, an image of the original-CD is created on a free hard disk partition (called "image" or "image partition" from now on). This image contains every byte of the original CD and can therefore be up to 650MB in size. Now, you can do a verification run to compare the contents of the image with the original CD. This enables you to track down any read errors that might have damaged the image. The next step is to copy that image back to a CD-Recordable, a process called "burning". At this point you can choose whether to simulate the burn process (the writer goes through all the motions and processes, but the write laser is off) or to do the real thing. I recommend that you do your first tests using the simulation mode—it could save you a few CD-Recordables.
Audio and mixed-mode CDs (CDs with one data track and additional audio tracks) can be copied as well, but this takes more effort. Each track of the original CD is read into a single file and saved onto the image partition. These tracks can now be written in any sequence you like, and you can also read tracks from more than one CD and so create your own "best-of" audio CD.
If you want to create a CD with your own files, you must first "master" the data. Collect all the files you wish to have on CD in a single directory tree mounted on your system. X-CD-Roast then converts this directory tree into a ISO-9660 CD image. Remember, this image will occupy about the same amount of space on your hard drive as your data to burn does. So, to master 600MB of data, you must have about 1.2GB of space. Finally, you burn this image on to a CD-Recordable.
In this section I briefly explain how a CD-Recordable and a CD writer work. This information is not necessary to use X-CD-Roast, but it can help you to understand the process.
The most common types of CD-Recordables are those with 63 and 74 minutes audio runtimes or 553MB and 650MB data capacities. The structure of a pressed "silver" CD is quite similar to a CD-Recordable. A pressed CD is built from a polycarbonate layer in which the information is pressed as pits. The sequence of "pit" or "not-pit" represents the data on the CD. After the press process, the layer is laminated with aluminum (giving it the silver look) for better reflection of the reading laser of a CD-ROM drive.
On the writable CD, the polycarbonate substrate, has a spiral groove that helps the laser stay on course during burning and playback. On that substrate a thin gold layer is laminated to provide the best possible reflection to a reading laser. Over the gold layer is a photosensitive dye layer, and over that is a clear protective lacquer. While you use a weak laser to read a CD, you need more power to write. The laser beam heats the photosensitive layer and creates a kind of hole that shows us the gold layer. When you read such a CD-Recordable, the holes in the photosensitive layer can be interpreted as "pits", making it possible to read such a CD with all common CD-ROM and audio players. However, the "pits" are not as sharp as on a pressed CD and can cause troubles on a few older CD-ROM drives, which report occasional read errors, while others perform flawlessly.
Some recommended precautionary measures when dealing with CD-Recordables:
Label only on pre-marked label side using a soft, felt tip marker.
Don't use stickers.
Store only in cool and dark places.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Take a Shine to It! 1 World Trade Base Will Be Pleated Rather Than Prismatic
One of the enduring challenges at the World Trade Center—besides who will lease up the offices—has been what the base of Tower 1 would look like. Fears persisted that the 185-foot concrete shell demanded by the N.Y.P.D. would look like exactly that, a giant bunker. The solution, arrived at by a harried team of architects in less than a month back in 2005, was waves of crenelated glass that would turn the entire structure into a giant crystal.
The only problem was, that approach proved almost impossible to produce when the fabricators began creating mock-ups of the structure earlier this year. The glass would shatter too easily, a major issue for a high-traffic tower that could be susceptible to another attack. The architects at SOM returned to the drawing board and created a solution that is at once very similar to and totally different from their original proposal, a new plan that was approved yesterday by the board of the Port Authority.
The main goal was achieving an aesthetic solution to this ongoing challenge, though it turns out the biggest different between the two plans is economic—the new curtain wall will cost less than half the price of the original one, $37.2 million. Read More

Campaign themes
Bloomfield's campaign website listed the following issues:[2]
- Rebuilding America's Economic Engine
- Excerpt: "America must set a goal of being energy independent within 10 years. The only thing worse than Americans having to pay such outrageous sums for gasoline is the fact that Iran, Russia and Venezuela are benefiting, as the windfall oil profits they are reaping are propping up their corrupt regimes and allowing them to finance terrorists (Iran and Venezuela) and threatening the stability of the world (all three)."
- Eliminating $1 Trillion Budget Deficits
- Excerpt: "Our country will be insolvent unless we start reducing our crushing deficits and bring our budget into balance. To rein in its spending, balance the books, and bring down our disgusting deficit, Congress must declare war on waste, fraud and corruption – instead of winking at it or even facilitating it."
- Improve Our Schools
- Excerpt: "We should reform No Child Left Behind. All parties need to come together to establish a fair and transparent accountability system for our public schools. And modifications must be made to things like "adequate yearly progress" to ensure that schools that progress and barely miss the target are not treated the same as schools that are moving in the wrong direction."
- Ensure Medicare and Social Security Remain Solvent
- Excerpt: "As a business owner, I constantly worked to find efficiencies while providing a better product for my customers. Through charities, I've given generously to health care programs in impoverished nations and helped prevent disease by investing in sanitation and water systems."
- Fix What's Wrong with Congress
- Excerpt: "We will need to change Congress by sending people to Capitol Hill who are not vested in the special interests that obstruct reform, but, just as importantly, are willing to do whatever it takes to change the system to allow the solutions to our nation's problems to be implemented."
Bloomfield ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing California's 33rd District. He and district 30 incumbent Henry Waxman (D) advanced past the blanket primary on June 5, 2012, defeating Zein Obagi (D), Tim Pape (D), Christopher David (R), Steve Collett (L), David William Steinman (G), and Bruce Margolin (D). They faced off in the November 6, 2012, general election and Waxman won.[1][3][4]

Race background
A November 2012 article in Fox News reported that Waxman would face a tight battle from Bloomfield in the general election. Bloomfield spent millions of his own money on the campaign. A former Republican, Bloomfield said gridlock has "paralyzed" Congress. Fernando Guerra, political science professor at Loyola Marymount University, said he expected Waxman to win in a closer race than usual. "There is no doubt that Congressman Waxman is being challenged in this election and that he has to take it seriously."[5]
Campaign donors
Bloomfield did not win election to the U.S. House in 2012. During that election cycle, Bloomfield's campaign committee raised a total of $7,985,574 and spent $7,982,215.[6]

Concerning the Keystone XL pipeline, right now in Texas, a foreign corporation, TransCanada, is using our government's Fifth Amendment right of eminent domain to confiscate private land belonging to Americans, to build a massive oil pipeline so TransCanada can ship oil from the Gulf of Mexico to non-Americans around the world. Why should we allow this for a few temporary jobs?
We'll never know whether Al Gore would have been a worse president than Obama, but we know for sure that the person selected to be president in Al Gore's place was the worst president in the history of this country.
I'm outraged and embarrassed at the redneck West Virginia sheriffs who say they won't enforce stricter laws for gun sales. They're trying to make it sound like all gun sales would be prohibited, which they know is not true. Get out of your hollows, get out and see the world, and maybe you will gain some common sense and sensitivity.
As an assault weapon-owning West Virginian, even I am savvy enough to know what Wood County Sheriff Merritt is saying is illegal and treasonous. That, and assault weapons restrictions, or even a ban, do not amount to door-to-door confiscation anymore than they did from 1994-2004. You stay classy, Wood County.
Apparently the sheriff of Boone County doesn't understand how laws are created in this country. He needs to send his letter concerning his perception of the Second Amendment to his senators and his representative, as they are the people who pass the laws.
Since the sheriff of Boone County believes he has an option concerning which laws he enforces, then this citizen of Boone County reserves the right to choose which laws he obeys.
Years ago, in its infancy, the NRA needed a voice in D.C. The Republican Party recognized the opportunity for NRA money to support Republican candidates for office. The NRA objectives are not Republican, but the Republican objectives are NRA. ... It is amazing how twisted the NRA can make the argument against gun control while children and citizens are gunned down.
Update your Bible [reader], read Luke 14, verse 5. Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath Day? Please, you are misleading people. Exodus 23: "You shall not spread a false report."
Thanks to the reader who also responded to the person who called President Obama a moron. I chuckled at your response. He/she said I was looking through rose-colored glasses. Decided this idiot was not worth a response.
I did not know that sheriffs can decide which laws they enforce and which laws they can ignore.

Ehhhh, marky mark's products are better
I don't think that his products are getting much love. However, that also in turn means that I just picked up a tub of Testogen for like $27, a tub of Resurrect for like $21, and a big ole tub of Pro Antium for $30. Ha ha ha. I feel like I robbed the store or something.
Ehhhh, marky mark's products are better
LoL, but the prices I got these things for is bar none me highway robbing the store. Ha ha ha. Come on, $30 for 50+ scoops of protein with 5 grams of creatine and 29 grams of protein per scoop? Friggin bargain, LoL. It's the Asian in me, I can not resist my natural Asian tendency to buy stuff that are at bargain basement prices.
Resurrect PM is also a legit product, I've gone through quite a number of tubs of it already and for $21, couldn't resist that deal. LoL.
It's been DC'd, which is why it's so cheap.
M.Ed. Ex Phys
M.Ed. Ex Phys
Im assuming this was in store?
mack @ seriousnutritionsolutions.com
"Revolutionizing Sports Nutrition, One Product At A Time"
Yup, but location dependent it appears (one location had it for $50, the one I picked the protein up from had the protein for $30, then another location had the Resurrect and Testogen for the close out prices). You can probably guess which store :P
Yup, sounds like clearing out of the entire line from the stores. Even on the store's website, some products have disappeared and what remains looks like the last of it. I'm not that surprised that the line didn't sell for those stores, the products literally had no exposure in the stores I've dropped in on in the past few months (and there are many in NYC, lol, almost one store per every 5-10 blocks). It's always usually located all the way on the top shelves all the way in the back of the store hidden in some tiny corner. Lulz. On top of this, what lay person which steps into these stores actually knows who Ronnie Coleman is? o.O
So wait, they had a BOGO half off that allowed you to also keep the sales price?!? You mean, theoretically one could have gotten two tubs for like $45?!? JEALOUS. Ha ha.

SOURCE National Mining Association
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- National Mining Association (NMA) President and CEO Hal Quinn issued the following statement in advance of the publication of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed New Source Performance Standard for regulating greenhouse gas emissions from new coal-based power plants that generate 40 percent of the nation's electricity:
"This EPA regulation is a big step backwards for supplying America affordable and reliable power from the cleanest coal-based power systems commercially available. The proposal effectively bans coal from America's power portfolio by conditioning new power generation on the use of unproven technologies.
"Forcing America to abandon its largest and most reliable energy source is a reckless gamble with the nation's economy. A more expensive and less diverse electricity supply will only stand in the way of economic growth and job creation.
"EPA has also set a dangerous and far-reaching precedent for the broader economy. Although today's story is about coal and affordable electricity, tomorrow the story will concern other industries forced to comply with arbitrary standards based on unproven technologies.
"Rather than recklessly pursuing another rush-before-ready approach, the more responsible course for the administration is to base standards on the best-in-class technology available today. This would ensure the reliability of electricity supply by allowing power companies to replace older, less efficient coal plants with newer, more efficient ones with lower emissions."
The National Mining Association (NMA) is the voice of the American mining industry in Washington, D.C. Membership includes more than 325 corporations involved in all aspects of coal and solid minerals production including coal, metal and industrial mineral producers, mineral processors, equipment manufacturers, state mining associations, bulk transporters, engineering firms, consultants, financial institutions and other companies that supply goods and services to the mining industry.

Decatur, Alabama 1 course · 18 holes Driving directions
Course reviews
+0 votes Charlie Thomas › February 12, 2014
The is course is in great shape. The first 12 are complete and the park is in amazing shape. Work has started on the last 7 holes. Can't wait to see them complete.
+0 votes Brandon Solomon › March 14, 2014
This course is very tough for beginners and intermediate players. Lots and lots of trees with very close fairways and driving alleys. Playing this course during the winter months is ideal when all of the weeds and overgrowth has died out. Once the city takes care of all the unnecessary foliage and it's played regularly this course will be very nice. Anything close to a 12 basket par 36 is unbelievable.


text: I doubt the deerling/sawsbuck play too big a role in what time means for the Anime, 3 months is 3 months, like all the previous times they've given a time period for the League. And its not even by the end of the year with 7 eps, we've known bout the 3 months since what, June? That gives us a Late September start with a Mid November finish. That give us 6 episodes for the rest of 2012, and a good 28-40 episodes more to get to the next game iterations in time. So yes there is a huge gap. In fact, if we're going on from June to September, regular release schedules will appear again, then that gives us a good year's worth of episode. Fuck me if that doesn't mean Gen 5 still doesn't have something in store for us.Originally Posted by Samurott

Comet Lovejoy: A Solar Survivor
Update: Exceeding all expectations, Comet Lovejoy has become a beautiful sight in predawn skies for far-southern observers — and has even been photographed from the International Space Station! Click here for details. |
For two weeks, comet aficionados around the world have wondered whether an inbound iceball dubbed C/2011 W3 — Comet Lovejoy — would survive this week's close pass with the Sun. The odds weren't good: perihelion would occur just 116,000 miles (186,200 km) from the searing solar surface.
At one point images showed a tiny fragment moving alongside the main mass. Had the comet split, or was it an undetected traveling companion? "Both — and neither," says SOHO scientist Karl Battams. He explains that it must be a piece of the parent body that fragmented long ago to create Comet Lovejoy and the thousands of other kamikaze objects known as Kreutz sungrazers.
The seemingly-doomed visitor disappeared late yesterday behind the coronagraphs' occulting masks. Perihelion came and went earlier today (at 00:30 Universal Time). Hours later, we were all stunned to see the comet reemerge from behind the opposite limb. In fact, the brilliant head could be seen on one side of the Sun, while what remained of its tail appeared on the opposite side.
"We are witnessing one of the most extraordinary events in cometary history," notes John Bortle, who has observed and studied these objects for more than 40 years. "The manner in which Comet Lovejoy is evolving is, to my knowledge, totally unique in the comet record. Its brilliant, starlike appearance this morning, when only at an extremely small heliocentric distance, harkens back once again to the reports of 'brilliant stars' being occasionally reported close to the Sun down through history."
Remarkably, Southern Hemisphere observers are already on the lookout for the reemergence of this celestial phoenix in the predawn sky. No one has reported success yet, suggesting that the comet's head is no brighter than magnitude 2 or 2½ (according to Bortle). But I'll wager that Terry Lovejoy is already up and getting ready to look as I write this. His discovery of C/2011 W3 on December 2nd marked the first time a sungrazing comet had been found from the ground since 1970.

An amazingly robust object
Posted by Michael C. Emmert

186,200 km from the Sun's surface is not only very hot but also there are strong tidal forces. This object was well within the Roche limit. There is no way it was a rubble pile. Shoemaker-Levy 9 didn't survive Jupiter's puny tides so this object is very different. I would guess that it's a solid chunk of iron?
This implies a differentiated parent object. If it formed in the cold outer reaches of the Solar system it would need to be about 400 km in diameter.
The Solar system gets stranger and stranger ...

I find reason for questioning "SOHO scientist Karl Battams['s statement, which] explains that [Lovejoy's companion] must be a piece of the parent body that fragmented long ago to create Comet Lovejoy and the thousands of other kamikaze objects known as Kreutz sungrazers..."
That is, I'd like to know a little more re the exact path's of Lovejoy vs. that of Lovejoy's Companion...
As may be seen from JPL's comet tracer, the Earth is positioned very close to an ortogonal point in space relative to Lovejoy and its Companion. It follows that the relative position between the two of those comet bodies is very close to being accurately reflected by the available photograpic representations of Lovejoy and its Companion. Those photographs makes it appear as though Lovejoy and its Companion are traveling along their parallel paths side by side and without one of them being ahead of the other.

Re the stated age of Lovejoy's companion... Part II
Posted by Tree of Life ©

As most of us know, a planet that is more distant to the sun than another travels faster through space, and yet its angular momentum is less. That is, Jupiter's speed through space is greater than that of Mercury, yet it takes a whole lot longer for Jupiter to complete a full circle around the Sun than it does Mercury. Likewise for Lovejoy vs. its Companion...
Thus my specific questions are these:
1. Do we know whether Lovejoy's path around the Sun is inside or outside of its Companion?, and
2. Do we know more exactly whether one of those cometary bodies is ahead of the other?
Now, if the one (of those comet bodies) that is traveling along a path more distant from the Sun is ahead of the other... Yes, then I would find very strong reasons for believing Karl Battams's statement. If not, well, the more side by side their travel, without one being in front of the other, the more recent their common origin!

Thanks for any assistance towards finding an answer to the above questions! And, please, correct me if and where you find my reasoning being in error!
May the peace of the Creator rest over each our families and homes while we all travel along each our paths of learning and growth,

Orbital velocity

Actually, part of your statement is incorrect. An object further from the Sun travels more slowly in its orbit than one closer in. Mercury, for example, averages about 48 km/sec, while Jupiter averages only 13 km/sec. - AND has farther to travel to complete an orbit.
Comet Lovejoy 2011W3

What a comet... I feel sorry for Ikeya-Seki 1965f. I just xcan't seem to compete. Talk about the mosue that roared!
The SOHO vids posted by NASA a few hours ago alone are staggering... I'm totally blown away!! Even a faint ion tail as well! Terry Lovejoy and Alex Amorim have already made faint daylight observations of the comet Post Perihelion:- well done you two!
Here in Lower Hutt NZ, the Barber Grove Obvservatory (-41.22875 + 174.90300) has come off some 8 days of rain, with clear skies after local midnight (whilst out game-fishing on the Wellington Harbour). My last preperihelion observation was on Dec 09.618 UT at Mv 8.5, 0.8 arcmin, DC4. The December 10/11 Total Lunar Eclipse was clouded out all night!
Great to see Libra rise before dawn in the East this morning over the local Wainbuiomata Hills, then at dawn onset... the comet! Early this morning, the comet lay almost halfway between M7 and Mercury in deep morning twilight at approx RA 17:08, DEC -29. My tentative observation (awaiting confirmation tomorrow morning):- made the comet Mv -0.5 0.5 coma, DC6 in a 18cm Newtonian, and Mv -0.8 DC8 in a 10 x 90 Binocular.
My overall impression of this comet, is that it has heaps of "attitude"... it refuses to lay down and die, and just keeps getting in my face (not that I'm complaining). It has defied all expectation to totally fry away, its sported an ion tail etc. John Bortle is right:- we are indeed "witness to history".
Thank you Terry for discovering it, and for contributing so many wonderful observations, photos and measurements just on your own. Thanks also to the world-wide astro-community who have gone "hard as" to secure valuable data on Terry's comet. Terry:- you're a legend... my personal admiration for you continues to rocket totally "off scale"!!
Best wishes

Orbital Velocity & Angular Momentum
Posted by BMayfield
December 18, 2011 At 07:02 PM PST
TofL, John SHeff was quicker on the keyboard than I with the planetary velocity points. Also, angular momentum is a vector quantity defined as Mass x distance^2 / time. Since Jupiter's mass is greater than all the other planets combined it carries most of this systems angular momentum. The Great Celestial Mechanic wants us to learn about him and about his wonderful creative works (such as the amazing comet Lovejoy) according to "an accurate knowledge of truth". (1 Tim 2:3,4)
Comet Lovejoy C/2011 W#
Posted by Graham Wolf
December 19, 2011 At 05:03 PM PST
Have confirmed yesterday's observation of Lovejoy C/2011 W3, with another this morning. Some other observers claim a faint tail in PA 240, but I have yet to see THAT myself. This morning, a waning crescent Moon hung over Libra. Much lower down and to the right, I could make out M6 and M7 in Scorpius in my 10 x 50 Binocs, as I "advanced" downwards towards Antares, via Epsilon Scorpii. I observed from 4:50 to 5:10am NZDT. Trying to estimate the comet's brightness (Sirius is Mv -1.47, Canpous - 0.72, and Alpha Cen -0.28) by using bright stars and correcting for extinction is a tough ask with twilight rapidly advancing.
The comet has moved a few degrees closer to Mv 2.28 star Epsilon Scorpii. I have personally found the book:- "Atlas of the Night Sky" by Storm Dunlop, most helpful. Tirion's constellation Chart for Scorpius rates a special mention.
For those interested:- here's my latest observations
Dec 18.674 UT Mv-0.5 0.5 arcmin DC6 18cm f5 Newt 100x
Dec 18.677 UT Mv-0.8 ~ 1 arcmin DC8 10x90 Binoc
Dec 19.674 UT Mv-0.0 ~ 1 arcmin DC6 10x50 Binoc
Terry:- your wonderful comet is still up there in my local Lower Hutt Eastern dawn skies. It didn't die on us after all... I just knew you'd take good care of it!
Regards and clear skies from New Zealand

Comet Lovejoy C/2011 W3
Posted by Graham Wolf
December 20, 2011 At 05:06 PM PST
Greetings from NZ.
Comet Lovejoy (C/2011W3) underwent an outburst overnight (NZDT) easily noticed at dawn in NZ a few hrs ago. It has now showing a faint tail that extends several degrees in the 11 o'clock position upwards past Mv 2.88 star Epsilon Scorpii!
Observations were made from the Barber Grove Observatory (BGO) at Lower Hutt, NZ, facing low in the East, just a little left of, and below a waning crescent Moon... both with a 10 x 50 Binocular, and plotting between faint Scorpius stars near Antares. Comet appeared semi-stellar and as bright as Canopus (Mv -0.72), corrected for extinction. Skies were semi-overcast at the time, with clear patches to the East.
Dec 20.698 UT Mv -0.8 coma ~1' DC8 Tail 8.6 deg to Mv +2 limit
Dec 20.708 UT Mv -0.6 coma ~1' DC6 Tail 5.8 deg to Mv +1 limit
At 200x in an 18cm f5 Newtonian at Dec 20.702 UT (16h 50m UT), the coma appeared elongated at 1.4 x 1.0 arcminute... down to an Mv +3 limit. No tail spines or synchrones were observable to an Mv +3 limit.
Although no post-perihelion astrometric data are yet to hand, it personally appears (plotting against the background stars) that the actual comet position this morning (NZDT) is within 1/2 deg error at worst. Several leading Australian amateurs in NSW have made short DSLR images this morning:- that clearly show the tail in similar detail to my own visual observations.
All I can say is thus:- "comets are capricious and quite unpredictable". Terry's 3rd comet continues to surprise and wonderfully amaze. OBSERVE, RECORD, REPORT (and enjoy)!

Lovejoy over Australia

A beautiful time lapse video of Comet Lovejoy rising over Western Australia on the morning of Dec. 21st has been posted on vimeo: http://vimeo.com/34007626
One can even make out separate gas and ion tails in the video! Sorta reminds me visually of Comet West's morning apparition in 1976, though not as bright. I wonder if the nucleus will eventually fragment like comets West and Ikeya-Seki?

Snow Report - Latest Snow Update
12th March 2012
We are now approaching the last few weeks of winter and spring is at the door in Britain. It isn't the case everywhere though and, as the days get longer, many places still boast fantastic snow conditions.
In Norway, the temperatures are currently just above freezing and everything is looking good for the famous Birkebeiner ski race taking place soon. With the latest snowfalls last week, the conditions are excellent and it seems the sun should be shining at the end of the week.
The forecast for Finnish Lapland is for more snow, adding to the solid cover already present. The temperatures, just around 0 degrees Celsius, are ideal to guarantee a great extra layer.
Sweden and the Icehotel should see some snow this week as well. The temperatures are still low (between -2 and -13) but there are some sunny days on the forecast.
Finally in the Pyrenees, the snow levels are excellent, with almost 2 metres at altitude after steady snowfalls last week. This week should be sunny with nice chilled temperatures creating ideal conditions.
Snow Report: 20 February 2012
After a few weeks of very low temperatures, a wave of milder weather brought some more snowfalls across Europe.
In the Dolomites, the solid cover present since the end of December has been maintained by the cold weather and a couple more snowfalls during the last 2 weeks. The forecast for the week is for sunny days with temperatures between 0 and 3 degrees Celsius: ideal conditions for days out on your skis or snowshoes!
Austria still boasts some of the best snow depths with still nearly 5 metres in Ramsau. And although the temperatures remain low (around -9 and -3 in Trins), the forecast is for sunny days here too.
In Slovakia, where our Tatra Winter Activity Week takes place, conditions are good too. After a 20cm snowfall over the weekend, the week should see some sun and although temperatures remain low in the mornings and evenings, the day time should be milder.
Despite the late arrival of the snow, the Pyrenees now have excellent snow conditions too. There is now about 1 metre of snow around Ax-les-Thermes (in both cross-country skiing resorts Beille and Chioula) and nearly 2 metres at altitude around Luchon.
Norway has seen a fair amount of fresh snow in the last few days (about 10cm just yesterday In Nordseter). More snowfalls are likely in the next couple of days, but the sun should come out before the end of the week.
With ideal conditions pretty much everywhere, the next couple of weeks should be very enjoyable on the snowy mountains!
Snow Report: 06 February 2012
We have all heard about it: arctic temperatures are sweeping across Europe and it looks like it is going to last for some time! As the UK received a considerable amount of snow, so did the European mountains, adding to an already solid cover in most areas.
The Pyrenees have seen more snowfalls and are finally catching up with the rest of Europe. There is now about 1.5 metres on the ground around Luchon and it is currently snowing on the Plateau de Beille but the forecast is for at least a few sunny days from tomorrow.
Austria still boasts some of the biggest amounts of snow received in the last decades. Although Chamonix is not far behind! Both regions have well over 4 metres of snow at altitude and about 1 metre in the valleys.
In Bosnia, temperatures below 0°C and snowfalls are on the forecast for the week. This should add to the great snow cover already present.
The Southern Alps have had more snow over the last two weeks. The Queyras and the Nevache Valley have fantastic snow levels and despite some cold temperatures the next week should be quite sunny.
All these snowfalls and cold temperatures mean one thing: the winter season is far from over!
Snow Report - 24 January 2012
Epic snowfalls across Europe!
Over the last few weeks, Europe has seen some of the most amazing snowfalls of the last 10 to 20 years (some resorts have even said 60 years!). Certain areas have received over a metre of snow in 48 hours and in parts of the Alps, the highest mountains have seen nearly 6 metres of snow in just a month.
Austria is probably the big winner this winter with areas like Ramsau, where the valleys have received around 2.5 metres of snow and over 5 metres on the Dachstein Glacier.
Chamonix also boasts some amazing conditions, with over 4.5 metres of snow above 3000m. More snow in on the forecast for the next 2 days, but these should be followed by some beautiful sunny weather over the weekend.
The same goes for the Southern Alps, where conditions have been fantastic. Our local leader has sent us a picture of one of the groups, enjoying great snow and bright sunshine!
In Sweden, our Arctic Circle Dogsled Expedition should enjoy some great snow too: a solid cover is maintained by the current cold temperatures, and there is the chance for some more snowfalls in the weeks to come.
Nearby Norway has received plenty of snow since the beginning of winter, with quite important snowfalls in the last few days. There too the cold temperatures continue to maintain ideal conditions for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
Slovakia currently has about 160m of snow on the ground in the Tatras region. This weeks' forecast is for cold and snowy weather, but a few sunny days on the forecast.
If there was ever a time to try winter activities, it has to be this record breaking year!
Snow Report - 09 January 2012
You have probably heard it and we confirm it: there is a lot of snow all over the European mountains!
The Alps have already reached levels that are normally only seen by mid-February. Chamonix boasts 350cm (yes, that's 12 feet!) at the top of the resort. Cogne also has a solid cover and the cold temperatures should continue to maintain it even with the sun shining bright.
After a slow start in Scandinavia, Norway is now the place to be if you love fresh powder: after the most recent snowfalls, there is a wonderful 20cm of fresh snow on top of the cover already there since before Christmas.
Much further South, Mount Etna has started the New Year with lots of snow as well as another memorable eruption. Unfortunately for Anna, one of our very own Exodus Italian staff, who joined the first departure, the eruption happened just one day after the group left. But she still came back amazed by this unique trip and with some great pictures of the snowy slopes.
Poland has seen some good snowfalls in the last few weeks, with a nice covering for most areas (20-30cm) and almost 2 metres in Turbacz. There are heavy snowfalls on the forecast for the whole week and its snowing now!
Austria is also still at the top of the areas with most snow at the moment. We have been keeping an eye on the weather forecast over the last three weeks and there has barely been a day when it hasn't snowed! It almost seems too good to be true! The nearby Dolomites, despite a good pre-Christmas snowfalls (see Snowshoeing in the Dolomites video), were a little behind their Tyrolean neighbour until recently. Now our staff members have returned from cross-country skiing in Dobbiaco and have confirmed the snow is fantastic and still falling.
Overall the season is off to a great start, getting everyone in the Exodus office really excited about the winter!
Snow Report - 30 December 2011
After the late arrival of the snow this year, it seems the winter season is now well and truly started.
Austria and the Alps get the first prize with a fantastic snow cover in just a couple of weeks; well over 2 meters of snow in some areas and it keeps falling.
In Chamonix, the Val Ferret boasts nearly 3 meters of snow at 2300m.
Ramsau and Trins have both ideal conditions for winter activities with fresh snow and cold temperature to maintain the snow cover and allow for more snowfalls.
But other regions are now catching up: the Pyrenees have seen more snowfalls over the last week, it is currently snowing and the forecast is for more to come.
The last couple of weeks have also been good for both Poland and Slovakia, where the snow has settled in various areas and particularly at altitude.
A positive forecast announces further snowfalls for next week.
After the snow arrived a couple of weeks ago (around 50cm), Norway has seen some cold and sunny days, creating ideal conditions for skiing and snowshoeing. There is more snow on the forecast here too.
Overall the snow situation is positive everywhere and this season is definitely starting to look like a really good one for all winter enthusiasts!
Snow Report - 12 December 2011
While cold temperatures and icy winds make for a gloomy journey to work in the UK do not despair! The chilly weather, part of a cold front sweeping across Europe, has brought the first impressive snowfalls of the season. It is time to get excited about what promises to be an epic winter!
Our local partners in Finland have sent us a picture of their first husky sledging day out and as you can see, the snow is fantastic!
In Sweden, the arrival of snow means the Icehotel is now in construction with new designs and creations for this season.
Austria has seen some incredible falls since the middle of last week, with places in the Tyrol receiving over 1 metre of snow in just a few days! And the forecast is for cold temperatures and more snow this week.
We also received some pictures from our local operator in Norway, where the snow conditions have allowed them to go for some cross-country skiing already. Around 40cm of snow have been reported and there's more to come.
Finally France has also seen important snowfall in the Alps, with up to 1.5 metres at altitude.
With all the snow across Europe, it is time to dust off the skis, snowshoes and boots, and get ready for winter!
Snow Report - 01 November 2011
As the days get shorter and the clocks have changed, we can all feel the winter slowly approaching. And whilst in most of the UK the temperatures have remained mild so far, the mountains of Europe and Scandinavia have already seen their first snowflakes and forecasts say there's more to come!
As the snowfalls become more frequent and the mountains get covered in white powder, we will be posting regular updates to let you know what the situation is like in each area we go to, so watch this space.
Although the snow hasn't yet settled in most places, the resorts are getting ready to open, the Ice Hotel is designing this year's rooms and these first snowfalls seem to announce a great winter season ahead.
Snow Report - 23 September 2011
We are excited to report that the first flakes of snow have fallen in the Alps!
Yes it is now officially time to dust of your skis and dig out your goggles….winter is on the way! Although there has not been enough of a snowfall to warrant a full snow report our local teams have seen flakes falling in the French, Italian and Slovenian Alps as well as in the Dolomites.
Below are photos taken high in the Italian mountains just this week. For winter enthusiasts it looks like the European mountain resorts are set to enjoy one of the best snow seasons on record. Let it snow!

"I have attended many training courses in my career, but in terms of practical usefulness and potential impact, this was by a clear margin the best. The simple logic of the ROI Methodology is fundamentally sound and therefore applicable to all kinds of events, in particular today when nobody has money to waste. It gives a company like our a process to demonstrate true value added to our clients." Nick Terry, Managing Director, Top Banana, UK
"The ROI Methodology is a very powerful, yet simple and straight forward approach to setting event objectives and measuring results. The training course followed by personal coaching is brilliant, Elling will hold your hand until it's done." Jade Penfold, Event Manager, Cisco, UK (now with George P. Johnson)
"The beauty of the ROI Methodology is that it is a simple and straightforward planning and evaluation process. It will produce clear outputs in terms of delegate learning and the essential changes that will take place in their behaviour as a result. The ROI Foundation Course is an excellent guide to all aspects of meetings and events design and evaluation and it clearly demonstrates that the success of the event can be identified long before the ultimate financial ROI is achieved. I left the course in excited anticipation of putting the process into practice, knowing full well that my time away from the office had been very well spent indeed. " Rod Lee, Development Director, FMI Group, United Kingdom
"After discovering the ROI Methodology there is no turning back. It is a different mindset and not changed overnight but Elling's coaching is invaluable. The rewards in terms of more cost effective events are substantial. Gradually our internal customers will also understand how our systematic approach to setting objectives and measuring results is the only way." Anna Johansson, Conference and Event Manager, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
"I attended the Foundation Certificate and it's been brilliant. The course provide a solid theoretical base and plenty of practical tools that you can put to use straight away to better your procedure and keep your clients happy and loyal, an absolute must do". RiccardoTafà, RTR Sports Marketing, Italy
"My expectations were surpassed because even though we did already have a measurement system, we didn't have a methodology. Everything seems to fall into place when you attend the course and it really enlightens you in a way that you can save time and improve results." Pablo Turletti, Karpa, Spain
"Yesterday I had my first client meeting after learning the ROI Methodology. Very carefully I started asking about objectives. As a result I have another meeting next week with the managing director." Marcus Maleika, Marbet, Germany
EIBTM and Event ROI Institute have joined in a partnership to roll out the ROI Methodology to the meetings and event industry in Europe
EventBranche.nl recently published their annual list of the trends which will have the biggest influence on the meetings & events industry in the forthcoming year. Effectiveness, described as " A way of thinking purpose, message, event, result" took the first place, followed by 'Combi Events (business and fun), Business to Consumer (field and guerilla) and Social Media.

Wash Hands Signs
20 Seconds: New Stickers to Make Them Count
Kids know how to get their hands dirty. Whether that's a good or a bad thing has become muddled in recent years; clearly germs cause disease, but does too much disinfecting hinder kids' abilities to develop strong immune systems? Recent data says no: there is no research proving that being too clean leads to having more allergies. Knowing this, how do we protect children from the contagions they touch? For kids' bodies, little habits make a big difference.
According to the CDC, handwashing is the
simplest and most effective form
of protection from colds, the flu, diarrhea, hepatitis A, and SARS. It protects people of all ages, and according to our recent
with infectious disease expert Dr. Harley Rotbart, it saves lives. But the biggest challenge is not backing up the facts; it's getting people to actually do the washing.
Stop flu and keep children healthy. Labels remind children to soap and wash properly – all while singing! Use labels on mirrors and walls. Labels are cleanly removable, too.
Handwashing not only prevents disease transmission, it
reduces stress
too. Despite study after study touting the benefits of handwashing, there's only a 40% compliance rate in hospitals—where 90,000 deaths per year are due to infections contracted within the hospital itself. Only 32% of adults wash their hands after coughing or sneezing into them. With grown-ups flouting this commonsense habit, educating children can feel like a daunting task.
Twinkle Star stickers and children's health
Kids are hard to slow down, even for the 20 seconds pediatricians recommend they take to clean their hands. The trick of getting kids to wash is to make the activity enjoyable and memorable in its own right. With a colorful image, cartoon character, and a song to sing, handwashing can become as fun for kids as the game they're running back to. At JustBathroomSigns.com, we're taking the initiative to reduce the spread of infections in children (and to limit the infections they spread to adults) the best way we know how: making signs.
Dr. Rotbart keeps kids healthy by teaching them to sing one verse of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," washing their hands for the duration of the song, which lasts around 20 seconds. This trick increases the frequency and improves the quality of handwashing. Since caretakers are not always with children in the bathroom, a sticker engages and reminds kids to take the time to soap up.
These signs are round, adhesive stickers, and three inches in diameter. They are made for mirrors, doors, and walls: wherever kids might glance when they're in a germy area like the kitchen or bathroom.
New stickers encourage kids to not just wash their hands, but wash properly, for 20 seconds. Click on the stickers above to see pricing details.
Where to place Twinkle Star stickers
We are better at washing our hands in public places than in our homes. But this is based on the naïve assumption that we're safer in our own environments. In fact, 90% of salmonella infections occur in people's private residences. Infections tend to spread indoors, so we're extremely vulnerable to what we bring inside our houses.
For this reason, it's crucial to put up stickers for at home, where kids will be protected from the infectious germs that we often ignore out of comfort with our routine. These signs are also useful wherever kids congregate - schools, recreation centers, churches, restaurants, and the like.
Five germ hotspots and how to protect children
Home. Our perception that our homes are cleaner than the outside world is simply fantasy. The kitchen, bathroom, playroom, sick room, and laundry room are reservoirs of hazardous germs.
Clean and disinfect surfaces
: in the kitchen, daily, and three to four times a week in the bathroom. Apply Twinkle Star stickers in infectious areas to help kids remember to wash their hands.
School. The main risk of infection in schools is respiratory. Schools cannot enforce handwashing habits in the same way daycares can, and the proximity of desks and frequent hand contact can expose kids to viruses.
Screen the school
. Ask if immunizations are required, and if toys, sleep mats, play surfaces and other areas are cleaned, and how often.
Petting Zoos. It isn't a pretty thought, but a common cause of infection here is caused by animal feces getting into kids' mouths.
Don't bring food, pacifiers, water, or toys into animal areas
, and discourage thumb-sucking.
Doctors' Offices. Quite simply, sick kids in doctors' waiting rooms can make other kids sick.
: Very few germs are airborne, so avoid letting your child touch any toys or books in the waiting room.
Bring your own entertainment
The Supermarket. Shopping cart handles have more germs than public restrooms.
Clean your cart with a sanitizing wipe
before using it, and encourage your supermarket to implement wipe dispensers at its entrances

Tim Tebow Draws Thousands to Easter Sunday Church Service
by Free Britney at .Whatever you think of Tim Tebow, you can't doubt his sincerity.
On Easter Sunday, nearly 15,000 worshipers flocked to Celebration Church in Georgetown, Texas, to hear the newest New York Jet speak at that morning's service.
Churchgoers gathered in fields for a music-filled outdoor service, with people flocking from miles around to hear and see the deeply devout Christian football star.
During the service, the former University of Florida star turned NFL sensation, who was recently traded, joined the pastor on stage for a 20-minute interview.
"It's OK to be outspoken about your faith," said Tebow, the son of former Baptist missionaries who became known for wearing Bible verses on his eyeblack.
Tebow good-naturedly talked about the craze known as "Tebowing," noting that he's done it for the past seven years now and doesn't mind being parodied.
It means prayer is being talked about, he says, which is what matters.
Tebow recently reached out to the church's pastor, Joe Champion, about visiting his congregation, and Easter Sunday happened to the best date for the football star.
On a typical Easter, the church attracts about 10,000 people, Champion said. So Tebow proved a big lure for people who would otherwise not have come.
"In Christianity, it's the Pope and Tebow right now," Champion told the congregation on Sunday morning. "We didn't have enough room to handle the Pope."

tebow is a great player and a great role model. He has a right to be who he is. He doesnt need to tone anything dwn. He is who he is... Ima gator fan and i have watched him from the begining he doesnt do this for attention he does it becuase this is how he feels. He has done so much for charities in fl and just weeks ago spent time with a very sick kid and i kno it ment the world to that kid. If hes out of football tomoro he will be ok becuase i think god has big plans for him! Go tebow... And the gators!!! Lol
Do tone it done a bit, won't ya, Tim? You're not going to convert anyone to J-sus with the big show you put up, not when the people have too much to be worried about in today's world, e.g. economy and 2012 election. There is too much at stake to take you serious by non fanatics.

In Da Faaaaaace!!!
main, rod bearings, timing chain set, gasket help....
What is a good set of Main and Rod bearings to go with... oversized at .010"
I see they have 1/2, 3/4, and full groove, different metals.... Whats a good timing set to go with? Cloyse, edelbrock, comp cams - Single, double roller??? Also does anyone know what the compressed thickness of regular Felpro head gaskets are you get in the master seal/gasket kit???? This isn't a race engine but mags. who have done this combo reached around 360hp with 416ft-lbs of toruqe. |
August 20th, 2007, 07:07 PM | #2 |
Dad Kickin' It OldSkool
Clevite 77 trimetal, full groove if you can put out enough oil volume.
Cloyes Tru-Roller. Felpro Blue- don't worry about the compressed thickness- it needs to seal, and you don't need anything real fancy.

i'm worried about the compressed thickness so i can see where my compression is... pistons i have net me around 9.7:1 But depending on the thickness and bore of the gasket that can either raise or lower it
oh and i'm also using a stock pummp???? |
August 20th, 2007, 07:15 PM | #4 |
Dad Kickin' It OldSkool
What will knowing your compression tell you? Did you CC the heads? Physically check the deck height??
Michigan- The Only Great Lakes State South of the Mason-Dixon Line. |
August 20th, 2007, 07:20 PM | #5 |
In Da Faaaaaace!!!
I have not figured out the actual CC of the heads other than knowing what they are stock. I will check that when i pull the heads apart in a few weeks. I will install the pistons to figure the volume above the piston is.
August 20th, 2007, 07:33 PM | #6 |
Dad Kickin' It OldSkool
Good. Stock heads have an incredible amount of variance, even if they have never be resurfaced. Do it correctly, or don't bother at all. The advertised compression of a piston is also usually nowhere near what you end up with, as it is that compression with blueprinted heads.
If you are going through all this trouble, please upgrade the oil pump, and probably the drive, as well. (not too up on AMCs)

What is your combo? (Heads/intake/cam/the works) I ran a McCandless 10:1 short block with a set of Stage II ported X heads and a Hughes 30/38 cam in my Scrambler. It is a fairly old combo, but runs like a raped ape on the street. I will have to find all my paperwork on it to get the specs, I built it over 10 years ago. I do know I ran a Cloyes double roller and a MP high volume oil pump. The mains were full groove C77s or possibly Michigan 77s. I ran Felpro Blues because I couldn't find steel shim gaskets to bump the compression a little. Pretty sure stock 360s have 1/2 groove mains...

I'll Finsh One, One Day
I presonlly like gear to gear timing sets. Thats what i put on my 350 and it sounds cool to. Sounds like it has a supercharger. Its a noicey gear to gear. Wasnt really that much more then a double roller. Its a summit brand one. Nice thing with gear to gear is you never have to worry about the chain breaking or streaching. My .02 cents. A few extra bucks now can save you regrats and head aches in the long run. I already wished i would have done a few things different on my motor.
August 21st, 2007, 06:27 PM | #13 | |
Dad Kickin' It OldSkool
Not a simple job, either, and a double roller should last 100K mi, easy. I'll get back to you on the engine stuff, plato, remind me if I don't. If you don't upgrade the pump and intemediate drive, however, just go with half groove main C77 or M77s, trimetal. The headgasket should be fine for what you are doing- I would imagine it to be a Felpro Blue. Not a whole lot of duration at .050, and doesn't appear to be a fast rate of rise cam. If you have issues with Hughes (I know someone on here did recently), one or two other cam grinders sell FRoR cams that utilize the larger Chrysler lifter- the big cam companies tend to use basic Chevy cam profiles in their MoPar grinds. You really will need to find out how much work has been done to the heads and find your true compression ratio to get really serious, however.

Well thats the problem. I don't have any flow numbers for the heads... so in all seriousness..... the porting could of hurt them instead of improve them.
For the cam, I was told buy the guy at Chucks Engine Exchange in Livonia that, that was the best cam for my combo. Nice power down low. But i have no idea on this shat. |

1. Yes in moderation. Lots of good monounsaturated fat.
2. No. Dried and concentrated makes closer to cand as far as the sugar goes. 3. Definitely processed foods. Check your labels 4. Yes and no. Fresh vegetables and lean meats can be cheaper in some instances but research time for healthy recipes and extra prep time can make up the cost difference. 5. No Healthy eating does not have to be boring. Meals can be colorful and tasty with adding extra fats, sauces and sugars. Sometimes you have to let the food speak for itself. 6. Yes but that doesn't necessarily make it healthier. Whatever they replace the fat with would most likely be worse. 7. It can be if you make the right choices. 1 whole egg scrambles with 3 egg whites, lean deli ham fried in a skillet sprayed with pam or canola oil, whole wheat toast (not that cheap air bread) or pancakes made from a fiber enriched pancake mix topped with fresh fruit. 8. Sodium is a basic element. Salt is a molecule called Sodium Chloride. 9. No there are some very lean cuts of beef and pork that have less fat than dark chicken meat. 10. Eggs do not cause high Cholesterol. There is no clinical evidence to support this. 11. It would depend on the foods in questions and the amounts. Calories ar Clories no matter the source. 12. Yes in order to manage diabetes properly. Moderation is key. 13. Not necessarily. Adding whole grains and veggies would be a better choice. 14. No. It is always better to get your nutrients from foods. Unfortunately we don't always eat right so a supplement can be helpful to fill in the gaps. Now let's go see if all that gibberish I spouted is true!
Wait! Bigmista wrote a cookbook? Exodus 29:18 Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the LORD. God loves BBQ!

Hey Big Mista I think I'd disagree with your number two. Dried fruit, as opposed to candied fruit is just a juiceless form of the product. Slicing an apple and placing it in the dehydrator is certainly dried fruit and is no more unhealthy than the original. And, I think, should count as a serving of the fruits.
Healthy and healthier are pretty broad and ill defined ranges. Certainly, when catering, choices as to products to be served can be made that create a menu less high in bad cholesterols and processed products. Grilling rather than frying, baking rather than frying. Unprocessed veggies vs canned, can all add substantial "health" to a meal and not untowardly affect the bottom line. heck, even trimming meats to be a bit more lean can make a difference. I think the negative impact on the bottom line would be acceptable to many people. Sometimes shopping smartly and locally can even reduce prices on fresher products. Good questions. Can't wait to see the outcome. Scot'
