The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur region
Villefranche-sur-Mer is a charming 13th century fishing village surrounding one of most beautiful bays in the world. This friendly and artistic town, in the heart of the Côte d'Azur, is one of the few spots on the French Riviera to have retained its old world authenticity and charm.
The old town of Villefranche cascades down the hillside to the water's edge. Here, you are spoilt for choice with vibrant restaurants and traditional brasseries tucked away in the maze of narrow streets and alleyways.
Villefranche has a beautiful sandy kilometre-long beach and clear blue waters. Bathers take advantage of the average of 300 days of sunshine per year.
The train station provides easy access along the coastal route to Cannes, Antibes, Nice, the medieval village of Eze, Monaco and through to Italy.
Despite being a quiet enclave on the riviera coastline, Villefranche is surrounded by an exciting international scene. The amazing beauty of the village has long attracted the international jet set. Don't be surprised to see a Hollywood A-lister drinking their morning coffee at the table next to you.

Hired a boat for the day. Fabulous. Reasonable priced refreshments on board. Lovely BBQ lunch on board. Amazing views. Fantastic.
Felt like I was actually on the set of African Queen. Loved the scenery. Excellent wildlife photography and had a lovely swim and snorkle session. Lake was clear and water was not at all salty, that was unexpected. Boat guide was very informative.
This lake is passed when you go to Iztuzu Beach in the dolmus. It's a beautiful lake, and my favourite time is on the way back from the beach, late afternoon, when the sun catches the surface and sparkles wonderfully. My favourite part of the journey!
Floated across and swam in it. What more is there to say! A great place to stargaze from a boat and you may see a shooting star or two.
I really enjoyed our trip to the lake. The water is warm and it is a fresh water lake that is created from three rivers combining, so no salt! One of my favourite days of this holiday!
we took a boat trip form the hotel at 6.30 am to feed the nile turtles and ended up at the lake and a sulphur hot spring - absolutely unforgettable - truly magical
Went for a quick dip in this lake as part of one of the Jeep Safaris. Relatively clean water despite the stillness. Lovely surrounds and a great pit stop to cool off from the mid-day sun. Plenty of birdlife about too.
It is hard to review a lake when all there is a lake and landscape around it. Difficult to rave about the facilities. I can say that I had a lovely cycle ride there from Dalyan and spent happy couple of hours enjoying the view and taking some photographs. In previous years I have travelled past the lake many times...
Beautiful scenery,hire a car and drive out here ,it's so peaceful and great for photo enthusiasts.
Some nice restaurants on the way which serve lovely village breakfasts,sit and chill out
wonderful scenery for miles, the is tranquil. great for spotting birds among the reeds if your a birdwatcher

He's been there
Triple-amputee contractor building for boy with similar disabilities
Amputee-contractor Eric Duchesne wields a circular saw Thursday at a Hillhaven Road home in Manchester. (MARK HAYWARD / UNION LEADER.)
Like Duchesne, Carter has only one hand to grab an object. Like Duchesne, he can only use his other arm to brace or prop an object, whether a toy or piece of lumber. And like Duchesne, Carter's sneaker attaches to a leg-like, high-tech rod.
"He's a walking, talking, breathing role model for Carter," said Carter's father, Mike Mead. "He's a hands — a hand-on — kind of guy."
He lost portions of his right arm and both legs.
Duchesne said he worked a few years at a white collar job. But he yearned to work outside, so in 2001 he started Decks-N-More. At times, business was so good that he kept three crews busy, he said. Now he just works with a single crew.
At another point, he trusts his prosthetics enough to brace himself while using his entire body's weight to nudge a vertical post into alignment.
Duchesne said the leg prosthetics, supplied by Next Step Bionics and Prosthetics of Manchester, make it easy to work. His right prosthetic is bionic, with a computer-controlled knee that locks, releases and pivots based on the experience of the user.
"For us, it's not just a deck," Kelliann said, "it's a life experience for Carter."

In a broadcast system in which computer data and other content are delivered from multiple content servers to multiple clients at least partly over a broadcast network, a transmission announcement system announces upcoming broadcast transmissions and instructs the clients on how to receive the broadcast transmissions. Announcement servers (which may or may not be the same as the content servers which serve the data for the broadcast transmissions) generate announcements containing information specifying how associated upcoming transmissions are to be delivered over the broadcast network. The announcement server makes the announcements available to the clients over the broadcast network or over a secondary link other than the broadcast network. As possible examples of the secondary link, the announcement servers might send the announcements to a multicast address over a public network, such as the Internet, or post the announcements at a publicly accessible site on a data network, such as a Web site on the Internet. The clients receive the announcements via the broadcast network or the secondary link. The clients filter the announcements according to predetermined criteria, keeping the announcements satisfying the criteria and discarding the rest. The client searches the announcements that are kept to extract information pertaining to retrieval of the broadcast transmission (e.g., a broadcast protocol, a broadcast locator, a transmission time, etc.). The client then tunes a broadcast receiver to the broadcast locator and launches a receiving application to receive the transmission according to the broadcast protocol.

This is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/871,654, filed Jun. 09, 1997, which is now U.S. Pat. No. 6,108,706.
This invention relates to a transmission announcement system for use in conjunction with a data broadcast system in which data is served from content servers over a unidirectional broadcast network to multiple clients. The transmission announcement system enables the servers to send out announcements for upcoming broadcast transmissions to the clients. These announcements may be sent over the broadcast network, or they may be sent over a secondary link independent of the broadcast network. The announcements contain sufficient information to prepare the clients to receive the broadcast transmissions.
Conventional computer networks are bi-directional, allowing data communication in both directions between the servers and the clients. Transmitting data over these bi-directional data networks has been a mainstay of computer technology for many years and the communication protocols are well established. Under conventional communication protocols, it is common for the client to initiate connection with the server and to request desired data from the server. As part of the request, the client sends information pertaining to how the data should be sent.
Apart from the classic bi-directional data networks, there is an increasing interest in the use of broadcast networks to deliver computer data and other content to clients, akin to the broadcast delivery of television or radio. Broadcast networks are unidirectional in that data flows from the server to the clients, but no return communication is possible over the same communication path. More particularly, broadcast networks are often characterized as a shared highly asymmetrical network resource with a limited, if not completely absent, low speed return path that does not need to be active to receive transmissions. As a result, the common protocols used for two-way communication over a bidirectional network, such as client-driven connections and data requests, cannot be supported by the broadcast network because the clients are unable to communicate over the broadcast communication link to the server.
The inventors have developed a system and method which address this problem.
A transmission announcement system facilitates broadcast data transmissions over a unidirectional broadcast network by utilizing pre-broadcast announcements which inform clients of upcoming data transmissions prior to their broadcast and instruct the clients of how to receive the broadcast transmissions.
According to an aspect of the invention, announcement servers (which may or may not be the same as the content servers that serve the data for the broadcast transmissions) generate announcements containing information specifying how associated upcoming transmissions are to be delivered over the broadcast network. The announcements might correspond to single transmissions, or might provide a list of transmissions. The announcements contain such information as a broadcast locator (e.g., a universal resource locater (URL) on the Web, a broadcast channel, etc.), an identity of the content server that will be serving the data for the transmission, a time of transmission, a broadcast protocol, a subject matter of the data transmission, a length of the transmission, and a rating of the content contained in the transmission.
The announcement server makes the announcements available to the clients over the broadcast network on a reserved multicast address or over a secondary link other than the broadcast network. As one example of the secondary link, the announcement servers might send the announcements to a multicast address over a public network, such as the Internet. As another example, the announcement servers might post the announcements at a publicly accessible site on the network, such as at a Web site on the Internet. The clients receive the announcements via the secondary link by, for example, monitoring the multicast address or occasionally accessing the Web site.
According to another aspect of the invention, a client filters the announcements according to predetermined criteria, keeping the announcements satisfying the criteria and discarding the rest. Filters used by the client can be filters automatically created in software based upon user behavior patterns, or userdefined custom filters created from parameters entered by a user. For the announcements that are kept as being of interest, the client searches them to extract the broadcast protocol, broadcast locator, transmission time, and any other information pertaining to retrieval of the broadcast transmission. The client tunes a broadcast receiver to the broadcast locator and launches a receiving application to receive the transmission according to the broadcast protocol.

The system 20 further implements a transmission announcement system in which announcements for up-coming broadcast transmissions are made available by the servers for the clients before the broadcast data transmissions.
In the FIG. 1 implementation, the content servers 22(1)-22(K) are connected to a broadcast center 26 via a bi-directional data network 28 which enables two-way communication between the content servers 22(1)-22(K) and the broadcast center 26. The content servers serve data in the form of audio, video, animation, bit maps or other graphics, applications or other executable code, text, hypermedia, or other multimedia types. As an exemplary implementation, the content servers 22(1)-22(K) are implemented as personal computers or workstations running a multitasking, disk-based operating system, such as Windows� NT from Microsoft Corporation. The content servers might also be configured as continuous media file servers which serve data files at a constant data rate. An exemplary construction of a file server comprises a disk array of storage disks, with the data files striped across the storage disks, and one or more servers which cooperate together to serve the data files from the storage disks.
The bi-directional data network 28 represents various types of networks, including the Internet, a LAN (local area network), a WAN (wide area network), and the like. The data network 28 can be implemented in a number of ways, including wire-based technologies (e.g., fiber optic, cable, wire, etc.) and wireless technologies configured for two-way communication (e.g., satellite, RF, etc.). The data network 28 can further be implemented using various available switching technologies (e.g., ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), Ethernet, etc.) and different data communication protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, etc.). In such protocols, the data is packaged in individual, fixed byte-size packets which are transmitted separately over the data network.
The broadcast center 26 receives the data served from the content servers 22(1)-22(K) over the network 28 and broadcasts the data over a broadcast (or multicast) network 30 to the clients 24(1)-24(M). The broadcast network 30 is a unidirectional network in which the data is carried in one direction from the broadcast center 26 to the many clients 24(1)-24(M). The clients are unable to reply or initiate communication to the broadcast center 26 using the broadcast network 30.
The broadcast network 30 can be implemented in a variety of ways. For instance, the broadcast network might be implemented as a wireless network configured for one-way transmission (i.e., satellite, radio, microwave, etc.). The broadcast network might also be a network which supports two-way communication, but is predominately used for unidirectional multicasting from the broadcast center 26 to the clients simultaneously without the clients foreknowledge. Although only one broadcast center 26 is illustrated for explanation purposes, the system 20 can scale to include multiple broadcast centers coupled between numerous servers 22 and numerous clients 24.
The broadcast center 26 includes a router 32, a signal generator 34, and a broadcast transmitter 36. The router 32 is coupled to the bidirectional data network 28 to receive the data served over the network 28 from the content servers 22(1)-22(K). The router 32 is a final node of the data network 28 in which data communication is bi-directional to that point and unidirectional past that point. The router 32 is preferably configured as a bridge-router between the traditional data network 28 and the broadcast network 30. A bridge-router is capable of supporting video and audio broadcast transmission.
Data is received at the router 32 and converted from the network packet format to a format appropriate for broadcast transmission. The signal generator 34 generates a broadcast signal with the data embedded thereon to carry the data over the broadcast network 30. The broadcast signal is passed to the transmitter 36 where it is broadcast over the broadcast network 30 to the clients 24(1)-24(M).
The clients 24(1)-24(M) may also coupled to the content servers 22(1)-22(K) through a secondary link 32 that is separate from the broadcast network 30. In the FIG. 1 illustration, assuming the data network 28 is implemented as the Internet or other public network, the secondary link 32 can provide access directly to the servers from the clients through the data network 28. In one implementation, the pre-broadcast announcements are made available over the data networks 28 to a multicast address which the clients access using this secondary link 32. The secondary link 32 might also be implemented as another unidirectional network (e.g., paging network, radio network, and cellular network) that is independent of the primary broadcast network.
The clients 24(1)-24(M) can be implemented in a number of ways, including desktop computers, laptop computers, and computer enhanced television units. As an example implementation, the client is a broadcast-enabled personal computer.
FIG. 2 shows an exemplary configuration of a client 24(1) implemented as a broadcast-enabled computer. It includes a central processing unit 40 having a processor 42 (e.g., x86 or Pentium� microprocessor from Intel Corporation), volatile memory 44 (e.g., RAM), and program memory 46 (e.g., ROM, disk drive, floppy disk drive, CD-ROM, etc.). The client 24 (1) has one or more input devices 48 (e.g., keyboard, mouse, etc.), a computer display 50 (e.g., VGA, SVGA), and a stereo I/O 52 for interfacing with a stereo system.
The client 24(1) includes a digital broadcast receiver 54 (e.g., satellite dish receiver, RF receiver, microwave receiver, etc.) and a tuner 56 which tunes to frequencies of the broadcast network 30. The tuner 56 is configured to receive digital broadcast data in a particularized format, such as MPEG-encoded digital video and audio data, as well as digital data in many different forms, including software programs and programming information in the form of data files. The client 24(1) also has a modem 58 which provides access to the Internet or other network that is utilized as the secondary link. For other implementations of the secondary link, the modem 58 might be replaced by a network card, or an RF receiver, or other type of port/receiver which provides access to the secondary link.
The client 24(1) runs an operating system which supports multiple applications. The operating system is preferably a multitasking operating system which allows simultaneous execution of multiple applications. The operating system employs a graphical user interface windowing environment which presents the applications or documents in specially delineated areas of the display screen called �windows.� One preferred operating system is a Windows� brand operating system sold by Microsoft Corporation, such as Windows� 95 or Windows� NT or other derivative versions of Windows�. It is noted, however, that other operating systems which provide windowing environments may be employed, such as the Macintosh operating system from Apple Computer, Inc. and the OS/2 operating system from IBM.
One example implementation of a broadcast-enabled PC is described in a co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/503,055, entitled �Broadcast-Enabled Personal Computer,� filed Jan. 29, 1996 in the names of Gabe L. Newell, Dan Newell, Steven J. Fluegel, David S. Byrne, Whitney McCleary, James O. Robarts, Brian K. Moran; William B. McCormick, T. K. Backman, Kenneth J. Birdwell, Joseph S. Robinson, Alonzo Gariepy, Marc W. Whitman, and Larry Brader. This application is assigned to Microsoft Corporation, and is incorporated herein by reference.
The client 24(1) is illustrated with three software programs: an announcement listener 60, one or more filters 62, and a receiving application 64. Each program is stored in program memory 46, loaded into volatile memory 44 when launched, and executed on the processor 42. The announcement listener 60 executes in background to listen for announcements. The announcements are submitted by the servers over the data network 28 to inform the clients of upcoming data transmissions that will be broadcast at a future time over the broadcast network 30. Rather than the clients requesting particular data from the servers, as is customary in conventional data networks but cannot be supported by unidirectional broadcast networks, the servers tell the clients through the announcements what data will be served over the broadcast network at a given time and how to find that data.
The announcements include broadcast-related information, such as an identification of the sender, a broadcast locator (e.g., URL, channel, frequency, etc.) at which the transmission is to be broadcast, a time when the transmission is to be broadcast, and a broadcast protocol used to transmit the digital data. The announcements further include information pertaining to the content of the transmission, including a title, a type of content (e.g., sports, science fiction, mystery, action, documentary, audio, graphical, etc.), a subject matter description, a length of transmission, a rating, actor/actress names, and so forth.
The announcements received by the announcement listener 60 are passed onto the filter(s) 62. The filter(s) 62 register with the announcement listener 60 during configuration to make themselves available to receive the announcements. The filter(s) 62 examine each announcement for a match against a list of data transmissions in which the user is interested, or against other types of predefined rules of acceptance. The filter(s) 62 retain the announcements of interest, and discard the rest. The number of transmissions each day is anticipated to be in the thousands, and the client 24(1) is expected to only be interested in a small portion of the transmissions. Accordingly, the filter(s) 62 continuously weed out unwanted transmissions and keep only the announcements pertaining to transmissions of interest.
After receiving an announcement for a desired transmission, the announcement listener passes the announcement to the receiving application 64 which understands the transmission protocol of the broadcast transmission. The receiving application 64 is launched in a timely manner before the scheduled broadcast and receives the data transmission from the broadcast receiver 54 and tuner 56.
FIG. 3 shows exemplary steps in a method for announcing delivery of upcoming data transmissions over a broadcast network. These steps are performed by software executing at the servers and clients. At step 70, one of the servers 22(1)-22(K)�an announcement server�generates announcements containing information specifying how associated upcoming transmissions are to be delivered over the broadcast network 30. The announcement server can be the same as the content server that serves the associated content to be transmitted over the broadcast network, or by a designated server separate from the content server.
At step 72 in FIG. 3, the announcement server makes the announcements available to the clients over a secondary link 32. One way the announcements are made available is to transmit them over the data network 28. The announcement server sends the announcements as multicast packets, such as a Multicast UDP (User Datagram Protocol), to a predetermined multicast address on the Internet. Another technique is to post the announcements at a publicly accessible location on the network 28, such as at a Web site on the Internet.
In one exemplary implementation, the data contained within the multicast packet is written according to the Session Announcement Protocol and Session Description Protocol (referred to as �SAP/SDP�). SAP/SDP is typically used to announce multimedia audio/video conferences and can be used to build a static local database that can be interactively viewed at the client. The SAP/SDP protocol itself is well known, and is described in M. Handley �SAP: Session Announcement Protocol�, INTRNET-DRAFT, draft-ietf-mmusic-sap-00.txt, Oct. 27, 1996 and M. Handley �SDP: Session Description Protocol�, INTERNET-DRAFT, draft-ietf-mmusic-sdp-03.txt, Mar. 26, 1997.
Another variation is to use an SAP/SDP-compliant announcement that uses an address other than the primary address for SAP/SDP.
At step 74 in FIG. 3, the clients monitor the multicast address and destination port to receive the multicast packets containing the announcements. More particularly, the announcement listener 60 is configured to listen to the multicast address and destination port. Upon receipt of the SAP/SDP announcement, the announcement listener 60 understands that the multicast packet contains an announcement that is not intended to be added to the local user viewable database for review by human eyes; but, is instead destined for program filters which operate in the background to analyze the hidden SAP announcements. The announcement listener 60 passes the multicast packet onto the one or more filters 62 which have previously registered themselves with the announcement listener 60. At step 76 in FIG. 3, the filter(s) 62 filter the announcements according to predefined criteria.
FIG. 4 shows exemplary steps in a method for handling an announcement during the filtering step. The FIG. 4 steps are performed by software, and namely the announcement listener 60 and filter(s) 62, executing at the clients. At step 90, the client examines the announcement against the predefined criteria. The criteria can be embodied in many different ways. For example, the criteria might be in the form of a list of wanted transmissions, such as a list identifying all sports-related programs or all business news. The criteria might alternatively be a set of attributes describing potentially interesting content. The criteria might further be in the form of rules for accepting certain announcements.
One exemplary filter uses Regular Expression Parsing to filter the multicast packets. The filter is given a regular expression, and compares each packet for a possible match of the regular expression. An example of a rule for this type of filter is as follows:
This filter rule examines each announcement to see if it pertains to a Web site broadcast that contains data from the Microsoft corporate information page. The filter is used in conjunction with a WebCast program which handles automatic web cache updating. A �WebCast� is a unidirectional broadcast of Web related information available on the Internet. The broadcast center broadcasts this Web information to periodically update the cache at the clients as a supplement to the information that the clients can directly request in customary fashion over the Internet.
If the announcement does not satisfy the criteria (i.e., the �no� branch from step 92 in FIG. 4), the announcement is discarded and the filter examines the next announcement at step 90. Conversely, if the announcement does match the criteria (i.e., the �yes� branch from step 92 in FIG. 4), the announcement listener 60 searches the announcement for the broadcast protocol (step 94 in FIG. 4). An exemplary broadcast protocol is the Broadcast File Transfer Protocol (BFTP). This protocol is represented as:
a=BFTPID:<ID for BFTP>
The BFTP content identifier replaces the area inside the angle brackets. The BFTP is explained in greater detail in a co-pending application entitled �Data Delivery System And Method For Delivering Data And Redundant Information Over A Unidirectional Network,� filed concurrently with this application in the names of Carl Witty, Kenneth Birdwell, and Randy Sargent, which is assigned to Microsoft Corporation. This application is incorporated by reference. It is noted that the announcement listener 60 supports installation of custom protocol types other than BFTP. Upon locating the broadcast protocol, the announcement listener 60 automatically launches the receiving application 64 (step 96 in FIG. 4).
With reference again to FIG. 3, at step 78, the launched receiving application 64 sends tuning information to the tuner 56 to tune the receiver 58 to the appropriate broadcast frequency specified in the announcement. The announcement listener 60 also calls an application that will ultimately handle the content contained in the broadcast transmission (step 80 in FIG. 3). The application might be, for example, a video application that handles video data for presentation on the display. Another example might be a WebCast program, which is called as follows:
The %1 is replaced with the path to the file that the receiving application received.
At the stipulated broadcast time following the announcement, the announcement server (or separate content server) begins serving the content over the data network 28 to the broadcast center 26 for broadcast over the broadcast network 30 (step 82 in FIG. 3). The client receives the broadcast via the broadcast receiver 54 which is tuned to the appropriate channel or frequency (step 84 in FIG. 3).
According to another aspect of this invention, the rules used by the filters 62 can be entered by the user or automatically created according to user behavior patterns. According to the first option, the user can enter attributes, or select from a list of attributes, through a user interface (UI) designed to gather user preferences. For instance, a user wishing to receive all content on the Middle East might define attributes which attempt to locate announcements pertaining to transmissions with content on the Middle East.
Another technique is to create a user profile by asking a series of questions directed at discovering the user's likes and dislikes. The question-and-answer session is accomplished using a UI which asks questions and enables users to choose among responses, such as �strongly like,� �like,� �dislike,� and �strongly dislike.� Rather than discrete answers, the question-and-answer screen might include sliders which enable viewers to choose somewhere in a scale between opposing preferences of �strongly dislike� and �strongly like.� The client computer compiles the user profile and correlates the profile with clustering data to generate a filter for future announcements. The clustering data represents an accumulation of other user preferences. By matching the user profile with similar profiles, the filter can better determine what the user is most interested in.
As an alternative, the announcement listener 60 might be configured to automatically develop filters 62 based on user behavior patterns. For example, filter instances can be added, edited, or removed using an Application Program Interface (API) to the announcement listener 60. The API allows any application that calls it to add, edit, or remove filter instances. For example, a Web cache analyzer application which searches the user's Web cache to determine what sites are of interest to the user might call the API to add or remove filters based upon the sites commonly requested by the user. Another example is a software purchasing application that adds a filter based on software the client wishes to download and purchase.
In compliance with the patent statute, the invention has been described in language more or less specific as to structural and methodical features. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific features described, since the means herein disclosed comprise preferred forms of putting the invention into effect. The invention is, therefore, claimed in any of its forms or modifications within the proper scope of the appended claims appropriately interpreted in accordance with the doctrine of equivalents.

Flymasters 2013 KiteLandBoard Event by Kite-Freaks24.Oct.2013:
Flymasters 2013 KiteLandBoard Event by Kite-Freaks
Last weekend a big Kite Landboarding event took place in the Netherlands, organised by Flysurfer Kiteboarding, MBS Mountainboards & Kite-Freaks. The goal was to put a professional KLB event on the Dutch calendar where both riders and interested people in the kite landboarding sport, could visit and join. Clinics were held, a professional freestyle & race event took place and riders from all over Europe gathered to compete on a superb spot, which was packed with a slider and some great ramps.
The venue was the beach of Ijmuiderslag on the North Sea coast, about 20 kilometers from Amsterdam. A lot of European Flysurfer KLB teamriders already said to come to this event, since a lot were teased by the great pre-event teasing with photos of ramps, sliders, style of competition and so on. Which in the end resulted in 21 competitors for the freestyle and 29 competitors for the race discipline. Giving a great atmosphere and riding level for the riders as well as to the public. Extensive coverage from the media (video & photo), showed that kite landboarding is a serious sport and is becoming professional and getting more and more fans.
With very mellow temperatures for mid October, which gave a pleasant atmosphere on the beach, combined with good wind conditions on both days the whole "climate" of this well-organized event was superb.
On Saturday the race eliminations were done with 10-15 knots winds. Flysurfer teamrider Yusca Balogh showed to be sharp and fast, winning the final with a 100m lead over the next finisher!
On Sunday a complete single-eliminiation took place as well as a Best-Trick competition in 15-20 knots of wind, pushing the riders to their maximum potential.
The freestyle judging was done by the riders. The jury consists of the riders who give their nr.1 and nr.2 ranking to the race director, who then made up the result of the heat and announced which 2 riders advanced to the next round.
Heats were 7 minutes each, with a 3 minute transition time. Which pleased Flysurfer teamriders Emmanuel Norman and Laurent Guyot, who had sufficient time to present their best moves and tricks. Emmanuel prevailed over its competitors and won the 1st place in the freestyle contest, showing impressive jumps and hangtime on his Flysurfer Speed3 CE 15m DLX. Laurent Guyot put up a great show on both days, riding both the new Flysurfer Cronix and performing solid kiteloops variations on land as well as some great oldschool/airstyle with his Flysurfer Speed3 CE kites.

During the Contemporary Art Day planned for Saturday, 6th October 2012, the Mart di Rovereto hosted the 64th Malaktion (Painting-Action) by Hermann Nitsch, one of the founders of the Viennese Actionism movement and designer of Das Orgien Mysterien Theater (Theatre of Orgies and Mysteries), which indissolubly combines life, art, philosophy, music, theatre and painting.
Saturday 6th marked the key moment in an event lasting an entire week, from 2nd to 7th October: Nitsch and his assistants constructed the performance in the first-floor rooms of the Mart during eight days of pictorial action. Through movements of their hands and bodies, colours of various consistencies were sprayed, spread, dripped and poured on to large white canvases laid out on the floor and walls.
The canvases were then be raised and placed on the rooms of the walls, remaining visible until 8th October. In this way, the artist will fulfil the Wagnerian ideal of the total work of art – a single complex between result and process – that has always been a source of inspiration to Nitsch.
The event was realised by the Mart in collaboration with the Museo Archivio Laboratorio per le Arti Contemporanee Hermann Nitsch of Naples and Boxart Gallery in Verona.

Identify and Solve Qt UI Performance Problems
Technology Overview
When developing UIs for embedded devices, it is not uncommon to hit performance problems on target hardware – whether the UI start-up takes too long, animation is slow, or the UI isn't responsive enough. The source of many embedded UI performance problems are system level problems coming from outside the UI layer. This presentation highlights how the out-of-box capabilities, including specialized analysis agents, in Sourcery Analyzer can be used to identify and fix Qt UI performance problems.

Drunken Jacks is among the finest restaurants I have visited in Murrells Inlet, Myrtle Beach, and Litchfield Beach combined! It's probably my favorite. We were seated on a busy night in less than 20 minutes. The sweet tea is amazing! The food was definitely worth the money (we were served the steak, shrimp, and scallop trio). Our waiter was super friendly, and the staff all greeted us with a friendly smile. This restaurant is definitely worth visiting!

DH retired this year and since we will be on a fixed income we decided that each of our kids will just be getting a check and each grand or great grand kid will be getting their usual ornament. Everything fits in envelopes.....no packages under the tree! I've forced myself to get those darned lights on the tree...round and round and round......sheesh! Got all the sparkly ornaments on it and our sweet angel on top. Brought out and put on display at least 625 of my Santas....skipped a few this year. Hung stockings for the 3 of us and for the five cats and the baby possum. Am not baking because I can't eat any of it but probably will buy some nice cookies from the bakery. Am not shopping because there's none to be done....except stocking stuffers. As festive as the house looks, I feel BLAH!
I've played some Christmas music................looked through pictures of Christmas past........mended a few ornaments......set up and found plugs for all the motion ornaments.....even decorated the envelopes for the kids and GKs......and it just seems to be missing something! I won't have all or even most of the kids here Christmas Eve or day since they have their own families........that's probably the BIG thing putting the kibosh on my ho ho ho!
Tell me your wonderful plans and let me celebrate vicariously through you?????????? I'm really on a downer and this NEVER happens to me at Christmas!
|Mon, 12-17-2012 - 1:38am
Hi Marti,
Sorry you're not feeling in the holiday spirit. I wish there was something I could say, but I think the shootings on Friday put a damper on everyone's spirit.
On another note, you have over 625 Santas??? Holy cow! Where do you put them all?
|Tue, 12-18-2012 - 10:37am
Allllllllllllllllllllllll over the place! There are some on the tree, some sitting on the mantle, some on a bookcase, some on an end table, some in the window on a table, some under that.......then there's the blanket Santa and pillow santas and towels and potholders and I didn't even put them all out. Our count this year though, exceeded 650 and there are still about 20 in a bin that I couldn't find places for!

just another day in jay's woods

Snow in the am
White Friday update: we've received 3-5" of snow in the last 12 hours and it's still coming down, allowing us to offer door buster deals on powder facials and ear to ear smiles. With near perfect snowmaking conditions, our killer snowmaking team plans on burying Upper and Lower Goat tonight and into tomorrow. The plan is to hold off opening the Green Mountain Flyer and Upper/Lower Goat until Sunday. Remember quality not quantity.
Tomorrow we'll offer skiing and riding on seven trails accessed by four lifts. First chair for Lower Mountain (Metro & Taxi Quads, along with Stateside Moving Carpet) is planned for 8:00a, with the Jet Triple slated to follow at 8:30a. As always, last chair for all lifts is at 4:00p.
Lift tickets are priced at $49 for adults (ages 19+) and $39 for juniors (ages 6-18).
Join us and NEKCA Food Shelf in assisting those in need. Bring a bag of canned goods (bag is considered 3 or more items) to Stateside Ticket Booth on Saturday, 11/29 and you'll receive a complimentary pass to the Pump House Indoor Waterpark.
Mostly sunny

It does not work that way. You have no guarantee on the order of execution (much less on the order of completion) inside a single draw-call. It's really simple. Multiple execution units --> race conditions. You see those GPU blocks on every article each time a new GPU is released. The only decent way to do order-independant-transparency is using D3D11 linked lists in my opinion.
edit: wrong!

Top Teachers: Erin Bourne
Byrd M.S., eighth grade
Erin Bourne is willing to concede that the future employment opportunities of her current algebra students are unlikely to depend upon their abilities to solve quadratic equations on the spot.
But, they may depend upon their abilities to solve problems.
Bourne, who has taught eighth-graders for 11 years at Byrd, does her best to make algebra fun for her students while impressing upon them the importance of understanding the process they use.
"They might not use this specific topic, but what I'm teaching is problem-solving skills and how to use them," Bourne said.
It's working; Bourne is a student favorite who earns high marks for her classroom demeanor and willingness to help students who need assistance.
"Every child that has or has had her as a math teacher loves her," one nominator wrote of Bourne. "She is patient and inspiring. Her knowledge of algebra and trigonometry is above and beyond. She takes algebra and applies it to real life, and therefore the kids seem to appreciate why algebra is essential for life. She is well respected and highly regarded by all of the students in her class."
Math comes naturally to Bourne, who said she has always loved it but wasn't sure what she'd end up doing with it. A career fair in college helped sway her toward teaching.
Students appreciate her personality – a mix of excitement and occasional silliness.
"I have been told before by my kids that I'm very funny – they compare me to Jim Carey in my facial expressions," Bourne said with a laugh. "I'm very enthusiastic – I almost feel like I'm performing when I'm teaching."
Bourne regularly holds tutoring sessions before school begins to offer extra support for any students who need it. She can relate to those who do.
"The kids would probably be shocked to know that I took algebra twice," she said. "I got a C the first time in private school, then took it again in ninth grade."
The fit at Byrd has been a comfortable one for Bourne, who describes the faculty as a supportive family.
"Everyone is supportive, willing to help," she said. "Every year there's a new initiative that the county wants us to take on, and those faculty members who have been trained in it are anxious to help others."

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

A 'Life' well lived
Animated 'Book of Life' overcomes average storyline with extraordinary presentation, details
"Beauty is only skin deep" applies all too well to The Book of Life. An animated feature from first-time director Jorge R. Gutierrez, The Book of Life spins a classic love triangle – two childhood friends, Manolo (Diego Luna) and Joaquin (Channing Tatum) both in love with Maria (Zoe Saldana).
Maria, in all honesty, is a little more interested in Manolo's musical charms, but her father wants her to marry the boastful and militaristic Joaquin. And when two gods, La Muerte and Xibalba (Kate de Castillo and Ron Perlman, respectively), turn this little love triangle into a wager (as gods often do), Manolo's quest for true love will take him through life, death, immortality and the underworlds of Mexican folklore.
Now, back to the "beauty" part – because as far as the visuals go, The Book of Life is the most extraordinary animated film to hit theaters this year. > Read more.
