With the implementation of COREP scheduled for the first half of 2014, UK firms will be required to report on regulatory capital adequacy at an unprecedented level of granularity and in a fully standardised format. For most UK firms, this requires a radical review of their regulatory reporting framework.
The Scope
The Impact
The Background
The COREP templates are expected to be implemented during 2013 through the Capital Requirements Directive IV (CRD IV) and Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR). Affected UK BIPRU firms will be required to report their capital adequacy to their supervisor on a single entity as well as consolidated basis, quarterly and within 30 business days of the quarter-end.
The most critical aspect of this new framework is the greatly increased granularity of requested information in combination with the new data perspective requested. Consequently, the FSA has urged BIPRU firms to take sufficient time for shaping up their data, systems and processes to adequately adapt this new standardised reporting format. An expansion of the number of reportable data items results from an increased number of dimensions as depicted below.
KPMG has two main offerings to help our clients understand and deal with COREP. Both offerings complement each other and often work in tandem.

Real Universal Healthcare
How is it, so many ask, that America is the richest country in the world and so many people here can't afford healthcare? This is because we have essentially priced ourselves out of a marketplace for healthcare. The emphasis on employer-based insurance at the expense of individually-owned coverage has destroyed the prospects for competitive pricing that exists in most other areas of the U.S. economy. We must change this by enabling individuals to purchase and control their own health insurance with a tax credit.
Obamacare essentially doubled down on the bad parts of the pre-Obamacare system by implementing an insurance mandate that discourages price competition and imposing regulations that make insurance harder to afford. We should repeal Obamacare and redirect its subsidies into a refundable tax credit generous enough to enable everyone to afford catastrophic health insurance – the kind that ensures no one is confronted with a financially devastating hospital bill. For those who have serious preexisting conditions and still can't find affordable private insurance, the federal government should offer its own insurance plan exclusively for those in need.
This universal healthcare model would 1) create a competitive marketplace for routine healthcare that could be affordable without having to use insurance 2) allow individuals to own and control their own health insurance and 3) give a public insurance option to those with chronic illness and preexisting conditions who need government support to become insured.

Mother Susan Catherine will profess Solemn Vows on the Solemnity of the Exultation of the Cross, Sunday September 14, 6pm Mass, Chapel of Sts. Peter and Paul, Tyler, TX.
November 21, 2014 - Opening ceremony for the Year for Consecrated Life
This day also happens to be the fourth anniversary of the canonical establishment of the Daughters of Divine Hope.
November 22, 2014 - Profession of first Temporary vows of the novices. Scheduled for 5pm mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.
With the help of God's grace, the Daughters of Divine Hope will one day be a solemnly established traditional religious community of consecrated women. Wearing habits and living together in vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and fidelity, the Daughters will dedicate themselves as visible witnesses of Hope in the Risen Lord and to the service of the Church through the guidance, direction and request of the Local Ordinary.
In the continuation of the rich Catholic tradition, the Daughters of Divine Hope is open to women over the age of 25who desire to live a life consecrated in Christ and to his service. Widows are most welcome, regardless of age and the community life will respect the need for the women to maintain family relationships, as it is lived out in consecrated life. There is no upper age limit; however, each case will be evaluated on its own merits.
Where we are now:
The Daughters of Divine Hope arose out of an inspiration of the Holy Spirit articulated in 2008 by the Most Rev. Alvaro Corrada, SJ, then Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler. Under his careful discernment and guidance, and with the faithful support and dedicated work of Fr. Gavin Vaverek, JCL, a community with the charism of saving hope, dedicated to the service of the church and solidarity with her sacred ministers, was founded. Bishop Corrada issued a decree on 21 November 2010, the Solemnity of Christ the King, establishing the Daughters of Divine Hope as a public association of the faithful in the Church. On this same day, Sr. Susan Catherine Kennedy was appointed as the first superior. This is the first step toward one day being formally established as a religious order.
The Rule for the community was approved on 9 November 2011, the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica. In May and June, 2012 the community welcomed its first aspirants and continues to gather like-mind women who are discerning a call to consecrated life. By September 2013, three of the aspirants entered into postulancy. On November 30, during evening prayer I of the First Sunday of Advent, the postulants became novices. The Novitiate is a year of grace in which they are formed in the charism of the community, break from the attractions of the world, grow in the love of Christ and prepare themselves for a life of vowed service to God and the Church. Mother Susan Catherine has been appointed as the novice director.
During this novitiate year, the community will continue to welcome those women aspiring to consecrated life and to assist them in their discernment of community life.

An update on this
Ive found out why it is showing remote downlevel document but dont know how to sort it.
So.. on the computers in school, we have got the printers set up on the computers so they are installed as a local port \\server\printer using the PCL driver and since that printer is local to the machine the kids can see it and we are getting Remote Downlevel Document.
Ive just tried installing the printer using the " A network printer or a printer attachd to another computer" printed a test page and it showed the document name BUT... when you log on with a different user, it doesnt keep the printer installed on that machine, it is only installed on the user. Now the kids dont have profiles and we arent giving them any either.
Is there anything that can be done so that printer isnt using the local port but all users can see installed network printers

Goodbye To You Lyrics - Breaking Point
Review The Song (1)
There's so much I want to say now
But it's too late i know
There's no way to heal these wounds now
And my heart bleeds for you (for you)
And our love is crashing
Like a tidal wave
Coming over me
So I wanted you to know
That i finally let you go
After all i've held on to
This is my goodbye to you
I was always there for you
But you never saw the truth
And the reason that i know
Is i've finally let you go
Yesterday you were my best friend
But tomorrow took you away
There's not much for me to say now
Just goodbye, farewell, farewell
And our love is crashing
Like a tidal wave
Coming over me
And every time i close my eyes
My heart is bleeding deep inside
But now my eyes are open
And i'm never gonna be the one for you
The one for you
I finally let you go
Let you go
Let you go so this is my goodbye to you.

This song fits how I feel.
Several months ago I was dumped after a 5-year relationship. Our families were really close. One day after he came home from a trip abroad, he suddenly became distant and he said that we both should find someone else... I asked him if there was another woman, but he insisted on saying no. He made a point that it will never work between us. It made me really depressed for a few months, that I thought I wasn't even worthy of living my life.
But eventually with the help of my friends and our families (his too, right now they are very disappointed in him), I managed to overcome it (thank you guys) and decided to start a new page on my life. I won't waste my time over some jerk who doesn't appreciate me. I found a new guy who actually loves me and he's such a gentleman, he's growing on me.
I heard this song on the radio a few days ago and it was like describing the way I felt. Although to me, the addressee of this song sounds like a much better person than my ex was. The singer actually says "OUR love" - they BOTH actually had it.
Thank you for the fun we had and I hope you'll grow up. Two months ago I wouldn't even have the strength to say this but now I do. Here's my goodbye to you :-)

WEST LAFAYETTE – Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch has been all the Purdue staff said he was, and the Huskies lead Purdue 10-7 after a quarter at Ross-Ade Stadium.
Lynch, a 6-foot senior, is 10 for 11 passing and has also run for 14 yards on three attempts. While the mobile quarterback has been contained some by the Boilermakers, he got off a 15-yard touchdown throw to redshirt junior wide receiver Da'Ron Brown to put NIU in front in the first quarter.
The Huskies opened the scoring on their first drive with a 44-yard field goal from senior kicker Mathew Sims. But the Purdue offense, ranked No. 121 among Football Bowl Subdivision teams entering today, has shown life against the No. 115 NIU defense.
Fifth-year senior quarterback Rob Henry connected with junior running back Akeem Hunt, who made a couple nifty moves and broke two tackles for a 44-yard touchdown on a screen play. Hunt has 82 yards of total offense to himself, while Henry has run four times for 23 yards, showing Lynch isn't the only dual-treat option at The Furnace today.
NIU is driving in its own red zone as the second quarter begins.

At about 5:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 17, a tornado touched down in Greensboro. The system caused temporary power outages, particularly in the Sycamore Community, due to fallen trees on power lines, according to a Gadsden County Sheriff's Office press release issued Monday evening. Talquin Electric was working to restore power as outages were still reported in that area.
Tallahassee Community College symbolically broke ground for its Gadsden Center on Monday in Quincy at an event attended by commissioners and officials from different municipalities across the county.
The buzzing from the in-wall air conditioning unit is the only sound heard as witnesses sit silently in anticipation of what's to come.
This is the final hour for Chadwick Banks. The double-murder and rape he committed 22 years ago have led to this moment: 28 witnesses, four of them family members of the victims, await the moment a lethal injection serves as justice for the deaths of Cassandra Banks and her daughter, 10-year-old Melody Cooper.
It's been 10 years since Morris Young was elected sheriff of Gadsden County, and, in celebration of that fact, sheriff's deputies, staff, county commissioners, Young's friends and family and the sheriff himself gathered Nov. 14 at Greater Tanner Chapel AME in Quincy to recount their favorite stories about Young.
Diabetes awareness will be the cause for a daylong event at Corey Field in Quincy on Saturday, November 15.
Spearheading the event is a competitive cheerleading group based in Quincy named Pretty Girls and Swaggn Boyz.
The cheerleading group was inspired to hold the event by one of their members, 12-year-old Madison, who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes during the 2012 winter holiday season.
In the only races specific to Gadsden County this election, former teacher Steve Scott and incumbent Charlie Frost both won bids to represent their districts on the Gadsden County School Board, according to unofficial results.
Scott defeated Rodney Moore to represent District 2, which covers parts of Quincy and Havana, by capturing 49.85 percent of the vote compared to Moore's 42.38 percent.
A man who faces weapons charges in connection with an incident in which a shotgun was fired told law enforcement he did it to save his grandparents.
Upon responding to a call for the discharging of a firearm, a Gadsden County Sheriff's Office deputy heard the suspect's account of how Javaris Harris, 26, the man arrested for discharging the firearm, did so because his target had kidnapped him and threatened to shoot his grandparents if they didn't pay his ransom.
According to the arrest report, this is what happened:
Fans of art and artists alike converged on downtown Quincy Friday night as the Gadsden Arts Center conducted the 26th annual Art in Gadsden exhibition. More than 100 people packed the center to view 110 pieces being presented as a part of the exhibition. The pieces will be on display until Dec. 23 and they're available for purchase, with prices ranging from $85 to $20,000.
Quincy commissioners approved a new city financial director at their Tuesday meeting, pending acceptable background and credit checks. Selected by a committee that included Interim City Manager Mike Wade and Director of Human Resources and Risk Management Bessie Evans, Ted Beason is expected to begin sometime after Thanksgiving, when his four-week notice with the City of Temple Terrace is fulfilled. Beason is the assistant financial director there.
The Gadsden County Development Council hosted agency officials from around Gadsden County at a Tuesday afternoon meeting in an attempt to unify the county around the council's economic development goals.

Eliana's Restaurant Review: It may be a simple, family-owned spot, but that doesn't mean that the Salvadoran food served at Eliana's isn't impressive. Highlights include pupusas and tamales, fried tilapia and pollo encebollado (a fried chicken dish with rice and beans); chiles rellenos are also available. For dessert, there's Salvadoran cheesecake and the signature banana burrito, a fresh banana fried in a tortilla and served with vanilla ice cream on the side and cinnamon sprinkled on top. This has long been one of the Valley's favorite hangouts for its often surprising, always tasty cooking.

- March 9th, 2011
Having started the 2011 season with an 18-4 win over Oak Creek School on Feb. 24, the Big Park Community School baseball team is more than ready to compete this spring.
"I wasn't sure what I was going to have this year," Big Park Head Coach Matt Schumacher said at practice Monday, March 7. "I wasn't sure about our pitching but I'm pleasantly surprised with that too. I think we're going to have a good squad."
Big Park was originally scheduled to play rival West Sedona School on March 1, but weather got in the way and the game has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 5.
The Coyotes were in action Tuesday, March 8, at Camp Verde Middle School. Results were unavailable at press time.
Schumacher expects the 2011 season to go quite well for his Coyotes.
"We've got some ballers. The issue is how much time I'm going to be able to spend one-on-one with them to improve their skills. We have kids that look like they know what they're doing," Schumacher said.
Top Returners
Most of the Coyotes return from the 2010 team which should bode well for Big Park fans all around.
Eighth-grader Stefan Zielinski finds himself starting behind the plate this year and has excellent speed on the base paths. Zielinski could be the everyday leadoff man for the Coyotes.
Eighth-grader Joshua Hafner returns to play first base and should be in the cleanup spot in 2011 with his power bat while Michael Travaglia returns to play center field.
Left fielder Eddie Parrella returns, but missed most of 2010 with an injury and eighth-grade teammate Ricardo Machado is also back, and should see most of his playing time in the hot corner at third.
Top Newcomers
There are several kids who received some time at "A" ball last season and a few that have moved into town this year who should help the Coyotes win some games in 2011.
Seventh-grader Garrison Skornick is the top infielder for the Coyotes and will be the everyday shortstop for Big Park this spring.
"He's our top infielder. He just has the look. He's a wall at shortstop and is a balanced hitter," Schumacher said.
Seventh-grader Austin Samano has made the team as well this year, having moved from Chicago over the summer.
Also moving into town is seventh-grader Keaton Burns. Burns is originally from Los Angeles and, according to Schumacher, he is a tremendous pitcher with good speed and control.
In the mix to be the No. 1 starter on the hill this season is sixth-grader Randy Rodriguez.
"Randy [Rodriguez] has great control and form. He has a strong curve ball when we need it," Schumacher said.
The Coyotes have the talent to go far this season, but the biggest question will be the defense and if it holds up during the 11-game schedule this spring.
Big Park is short a few games this year with Clarkdale-Jerome School canceling its season due to not enough players coming out for baseball.
Pine-Strawberry School doesn't have a baseball squad either, shorting the Coyotes three games in 2011.
With the Verde Valley Athletic Association Small Schools Championships beginning Tuesday, April 19, Schumacher and his Coyotes will have plenty of time to work the kinks out.
Look for Big Park to challenge for the Small Schools title in April.

A ski binding is an attachment that anchors a ski boot to the ski. There are different types of bindings for different types of skiing.
In the earlier days of skiing, the skis were in a design somewhat similar to snowshoes, roughly a walking motion, although they were slid over the snow instead of lifted with each stride. During this era, the binding was also similar to those of a contemporary snowshoe, generally consisting of a leather strap fastened over the toe of the boot.
During the 1800s, skiing evolved into a sport and great advances in technique and equipment design followed. Generally the skiing motion was much closer to skating, using long gliding strides. This technique required bindings that followed the skier's foot through a wider range of motion, but loosening the toe strap simply made it fall off. To address this, a second strap was added that looped from the toe around the heel of the boot, pulling it forward into the toe strap.
Over time, both portions of the binding evolved. Early on, the toe strap was replaced by a metal clip under the toe that folded up on the sides to cup the toe of the boot. This provided much greater grip on the boot, allowing the ski to be pushed sideways. The heel strap also changed over time; in order to allow a greater range of motion, a spring was added to allow the strap to lengthen when the boot was rotated up off the ski. This buckled strap was later replaced by a metal cable, or in some cases a single large metal spring. By this point the bindings were generally known as cable bindings.
The introduction of the cable binding allowed the Christie turn to become a standard on downhill runs, and to further support this style of skiing the Swiss racer Guido Reuge in 1929 invented a cable binding with steel clips below the boot heel to enable clamping the heel down for downhill portions. He named the product "Kandahar" for the international Kandahar Cup ski races.[1] In use in alpine races, the Kandahar binding led to serious leg injuries, and by 1939 experimentation began in earnest on bindings that would release the boot in a fall.[2]
The evolution of bindings for alpine skiing wasn't complete until the introduction of plastic ski boots (beginning in 1966) permitted the development of industrial standards for binding function. Injury rates began to fall with the gradual introduction of the Teflon anti-friction pad around 1972.
Cable bindings remained in use for some time for cross-country, and are today popular for telemark skiing. However, the Rottafella design from the 1930s became more popular for cross country skiing through the 1950s and into the 1970s, and the Salomon Nordic System (SNS) binding re-invented this field entirely. Today cross-country binding systems have become as customized as their downhill counterparts of the 1960s.
The vast majority of bindings for Alpine skiing work by fixing the ski boot to the ski at the toe and heel. The binding attaches the boot to the ski, but to reduce injury also allows the boot to release in case of a fall. Generally, the toe piece is designed to allow the boot to rotate to the sides, while the heel piece rotates up. In modern bindings a wide variety of motions is available from both toe and heel pieces.
The boot is released by the binding if a certain amount of torque is applied, usually created by the weight of a falling skier. The amount of torque required to release the boot is adjusted by turning a screw on the toe and heel piece. This is called (colloquially) the DIN setting, because the standards for Alpine ski binding settings are issued by Deutsches Institut für Normung. The correct DIN setting is based on height, weight, ski boot sole length, the skiing style of the skier (cautious, average, or aggressive) and, age (if the skier is younger than 10 years old, or 50 years old or older).[3]
Normally, torque itself does not cause injury, not until a natural limit of the human skeleton is reached. For instance, a very strong vertical torque, twisting the knee, will not cause damage unless the knee is forced to travel beyond a certain angle. Some bindings move relatively short distances before releasing, leading to the possibly of "pre-release", where the ski releases long before the motion could have caused damage. Bindings with longer "float" may hold on during events that require those with shorter motion would require higher DIN settings.
Bindings may be sold alone to be mounted to "flat" skis, or can be integrated systems. Integrated systems have declined in popularity due primarily to their higher weight and difficulty of adjusting the balance of a skier since cants and shims are difficult or impossible to use. Some racing skis have plates on them which allow a binding to be attached and afford the possibility of changing the balance through cants and shims.
Alpine ski bindings employ the use of a snow brake to prevent the ski from moving while it is not attached to a boot. Snow brakes work by the use of a sprung square 'C' shape, typically made of metal, which makes contact with the snow. When a ski boot is put in the ski binding, the brake pivots under the downward pressure and runs parallel with the ski allowing free movement. When the boot comes out of the ski, the brakes spring out perpendicular to the ski and stop the ski from sliding.
There are three common Nordic binding systems:
Like Nordic bindings, Telemark bindings fix only the toe leaving the heel free to move. The main difference is that Telemark bindings are more heavy-duty to withstand the increased forces encountered in high speed descents. The cable binding (aka Kandahar binding), where the toe section of the boot is anchored, and an adjustable cable around the heel (for which there is a groove in the heel of the shoe) secures the boot. Used for cross-country (to a certain extent), Telemark and ski jumping.
While binding designs vary, before 2007 almost all dedicated Telemark models had been designed to fit boots with 75mm Nordic Norm "duckbill" toes. However, in late 2007 Rottefella introduced the New Telemark Norm (NTN) binding which uses a different boot sole, co-developed with the Crispi and Scarpa boot companies.
Also known as Randonee, an Alpine Touring ski is a special ski binding that allows the heel to be clipped down to the ski when skiing downhill, but which allows it to be released when climbing.
Traditionally, skiboards and Salomon's Snowblade have used non-release plate bindings. The reason being that skiboards and snowblades have traditionally been 100 cm in length or less, so the torque during a fall was assumed to be small enough that a releasable binding was not necessary. However, in recent years, as skiboarding has become a more established niche sport, releasable bindings have become a viable option to decrease the chances of injury. Spruce Ski created a riser which adapts between the standard 4 cm by 4 cm four-hole skiboard binding and standard ski bindings; furthermore, Spruce began selling their 120 cm skiboard in the 2005-06 season which are only available with their releasable setup. Additionally, Salomon now offers most of their Snowblades with releasable ski bindings as well. Some riders still prefer the plate-style bindings.
Modern ski bindings are based on the Fennoscandian model of the 19th century. The bindings of Telemark ski and cross-country skis were developed from the Ugro-Lapp type.
One of the first recorded advances in binding design was made by Sondre Norheim, the "father" of modern skiing. His binding included a leather toe strap that was fastened tightly with a buckle, and a heel strap of small birch roots twisted into a rope. The heel strap started at the toe, looped around the heel, and forward again to the toe. The heel strap pulled the boot forward into the toe strap, so the ski would not fall off when pressure was released on the toe. The strap had to be flexible and elastic in order to allow it to keep tension on the heel as the skier strode forward and the heel lifted from the ski.[5]
First introduced in 1850, Norheim's binding allowed a much longer striding motion that greatly increased cross-country speeds, and this quickly became widespread. It also allowed the ski to be directed by twisting the foot, transmitting the torsion to the ski through the toe strap. Techniques based on this ability were developed over the next few years, replacing the former technique of dragging a large pole in the snow on one side or the other to drag the skier in that direction. These new techniques spread throughout Telemark and would later be named for the region.[6] Norheim made a splash when he introduced this publicly at an 1868 ski jump meet, where the contestants were required to ski up the hill, down the hill to the top of the jump, and then jump, with their style being marked on all phases. Norheim's smooth linked turns stunned the crowds, and he won the competition.
Fritz R. Huitfeldt drove the evolution of the ski binding over the next 20 years. In 1894 he introduced the use of semi-circular metal hooks at the toe to attach the straps. The hooks were positioned to tightly fit to the sides of the boot, keeping the ski centred and eliminating any "flop" that the formerly loose straps allowed. The heel strap was also attached to the same hooks, but because of their rounded shape, the required range of motion was provided by the straps sliding up and down on the hooks. This allowed the heel strap to be replaced by a less flexible leather strap. Together, these changes dramatically tightened the binding, greatly increasing control.[5]
In 1897, Huitfeldt further improved the design by changing the toe piece. Instead of hooks, he drilled a rectangular hole through the ski from side to side, and passed an iron bar through it. The bar was then bent up on either side, locking it in place, and then formed to fit the toe of the boot. This improvement once again dramatically improved the firmness of the fit. Finally, in 1904 he adopted the Hoyer-Ellefsen toggle, a lever that replaced the buckles.[7] This not only greatly improved mechanical advantage, further improving the strength of the binding, but also made the system much easier to put on and remove. Better yet, the geometry of the attachment points meant the heel strap was mechanically attached below that of the toe strap, which provided a constant "diagonal downpull" that naturally returned the heel to the ski.
Huitfeldt style bindings were by far the most popular system for decades, with the only major change being Marius Eriksen's 1920 introduction of pre-formed plates that were screwed on top of the ski.[7] Other binding systems did exist, in particular a class of bindings originally introduced by Mathias Zdarsky that replaced the heel strap with a long metal plate under the sole of the boot, hinged at the front to allow the heel to rise. The heel was held to the plate by a short strap attaching at the back.[8] These gave even better control than the Huitfeldt design, but so firmly attached the leg that injury was a real problem.
The final major improvement to the Huitfeldt "free heel" designs was the replacement of the heel strap with a metal cable and springs. Invented in 1929 by the Swiss ski racer Guido Reuge, patented by him and marketed in 1932, the spring-loaded cable binding was named for the Lord Roberts of Kandahar Cup ski races.[9] Kandahar-style cable bindings would be almost universal into the early 1960s.[7]
The Kandahar design offered two advantages over the earlier designs. The use of a spring to provide tension allowed fine control over the mechanics, and a smooth action that did not suddenly increase tension at the end of the stroke. It also allowed the skier to adjust the tension by moving the spring or turning a control knob, allowing for different conditions and skiing style and stride. More important was the addition of two small hooks on either side of the ski near the heel. When skiing downhill, the skier could clip the cable under the hooks, locking down the heel and providing much greater control. Now the ski could be turned by rotating the leg, forcing the ski to stem. When it was time to climb back up the hill, the cable was unhooked and returned to being a normal cross-country binding.[7]
The introduction of dedicated ski lifts in 1908 led to an evolution of skiing as a sport. In the past, skiers would have to ski or walk up the hills they intended to ski down. With the lift, the skiers could leave their skis on, and would be skiing downhill all the time. The need to unclip the heel for cross-country use was eliminated, at least at resorts with lifts. As lifts became more common, especially with the introduction of the chairlift in 1936, the ski world split into cross-country and downhill, a split that remains to this day.
For pure downhill skiing, the Kandahar was a problem. In particular, the metal toe clip so tightly clamped the front of the boot that even small sideways motions of the tip of the ski could twist the lower leg, and spiral fractures of the calf were common. The death grip led to the nickname "bear trap bindings", and it was estimated that 1% of skiers suffered an injury on any given day.[10]
During the 1930s it was discovered that an improvement could be made by removing the toe strap from a typical Kandahar binding. Instead, the metal cup was bent inward to slightly wrap over the top of the boot, or at least the top of the sole. Although the resulting clip was much less solid than the strap, in the case of a forward fall the boot would rotate up and out of the cup, releasing the leg. Although this was an improvement, it was a small one.
In 1937 Hjalmar Hvam broke his leg skiing, and while recuperating from surgery, invented the Saf-Ski toe binding. This was a metal clip with a pyramidal top that fit into a slot cut into the sole of the ski boot. When the boot was rotated forward, the slot on the toe eventually rose above the metal pyramid, allowing the toe to release from the ski. The system was considered with suspicion by professional skiers, especially when Olaf Rodegaard released during a race. However, Rodegaard credits the release with saving him from a broken leg.[11] In the post-war era, Hvam sold several thousand pairs of Saf-Ski's, in an era when downhill skiing was in its infancy. Hvam continued to sell the Saf-Ski into the 1960s, but in 1966 his insurance rates increased so dramatically that he was forced from the market.[12]
A dramatic advance was introduced as the Look Nevada in 1950. The Nevada held the toe centred over the ski using two metal fingers shaped into an upside-down V. The fingers were pivoted to allow motion to the sides, and centred with a spring. During a fall, sideways torsion could overcome the force of the spring and allow the boot to release directly to the side. This design was quickly copied by other vendors, notably Marker, and had the first real impact on the dominance of the classic fixed-toe bindings. By the late 1950s, there were about 35 different release toe bindings on the US market,[13] most of which used a normal Kandahar-style heel cable.
The first modern heel-and-toe binding was the Cubco binding, first introduced in 1950 but not popular until about 1960. A heel-release binding faced the problem that there was no obvious place to attach to on the heel, so the Cubco solved this by screwing small metal clips into the sole of the boot. This also eliminated the changes in performance as the sole of the boot wore down, or the geometry of the sole changed as the boot wore into the skiers foot.[13] Marker introduced the Rotomat, which gripped onto the sole where it extended past the heel, and Look quickly followed suit with their Grand Prix design. By the mid-1960s, release bindings that worked on both the heel and the toe were common, and by the late 1960s the cable binding had disappeared from downhill.
One problem with 1960s release bindings was that the boots were not standardized, and a binding that worked well on one boot might be dangerous on another, or might become dangerous over time as the boot shifted about. This led to the introduction of plate bindings, which used a metal plate firmly clipped to the sole of the boot, and bindings that clamped onto the plate. The plate could be easily removed for walking about. Plate bindings were popular in the US in the 1970s, notably the BURT Retractable Bindings and Spademan binding, but never caught on in any major way in Europe. As more and more of the downhill ski market came under control of European companies, the plate bindings disappeared, in spite of their excellent safety records.[14]
The disappearance of the plate and alternate systems was due to a combination of factors, notably the introduction of standardized hard plastic boots. Plastic was first introduced by Lange as a way of improving existing leather designs. As the new material spread through the industry, the sole piece was standardized to allow toe-and-heel bindings to clip on. Plastic had the advantages of being much firmer than leather, not changing shape over time, and having predictable friction characteristics wet or dry. Although plate bindings of the era had much better safety records, notably the Spademan design, the new boots and bindings could be easily adapted to any ski for any skier.
The cable binding remained in use, and even increased in popularity, throughout this period as cross-country skiing developed into a major sport of its own. In this field the speeds were generally not high enough that the release was a serious concern, and the freedom of the free-heel design was perfect for the sport.
Change eventually came though the evolution of the Rottefella binding, first introduced in 1927. The original Rottefella eliminated the heel strap, which held the boot forward in the binding, by drilling small holes in the sole of the boot which fit into pins in the toe piece. This would only work if the sole was held very firmly down on the pins, so the binding also introduced a metal clip that was forced down onto the top of the sole of the boot, forcing it onto the pins. When the inventor, Bror With, won a race on the new design, Norwegian Crown Prince Olav ask him what they were, and he responded "Oh, they're just a couple of rat traps I picked up at the hardware store".[15] "Rottefella" is Norwegian for "rat trap".
Problems with the geometry of the boot sole, which meant only certain boots would work, meant the Rottafella was not widely used. This problem was eventually solved through the same evolution of plastic components that changed the downhill market. In this case the use of highly flexible plastics allowed for a sole that was very strong torsionally and side-to-side, but still had excellent flexibility lengthwise, allowing the heel to rise as with a cable binding. This was standardized as the 3-pin system, which was widespread by the 1970s.[15]

Suggestions - Upper East Side
Hi all,
My husband is headed to the city this weekend to participate in a fundraiser in memory of a friend of ours. He will be there from Saturday afternoon until Sunday afternoon and will have some free time, particularly Saturday night. He loves to eat and to try new things and is looking for any tips/suggestions folks might have. He is staying on East 92nd and would particularly be interested in some good places to grab a drink with his buddy who will also be in town. Are there other places in/around that neighborhood that shouldn't be missed while he is exploring during the down time? I appreciate any input! Thanks!
Budget? Types of cuisine? Is he interested in good/interesting wine and/or beer?
I like the bar a Cafe d'Alsace for an excellent beer list.
re: gutsofsteel
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I will definitely pass along Cafe d'Alsace! He is interested in ANY kind of cuisine and loves interesting beers and wines. We live upstate so I think he would enjoy any kind of food experience that he can't have in our area (Saratoga Springs). As for budget, anything that would be considered "moderate" would work. Suggestions can range from a good place to grab a bagel, to an interesting Ethiopian place, a specialty food market, etc. in addition to a great place for drinks. I know it's a broad range, but since he doesn't have set plans I think he might work around any suggestions that come from this board.
Thanks again:-)

re: arp29
Cafe d'Alsace is quite good for beer and wine, and the food is good. I like eating at the bar. I also like the bar at Parlor Steakhouse - good martinis, oysters, etc.
San Matteo has by far (far) the best pizza on the upper east side, it's a delightful little Italian place with excellent salads, antipasti, salumi, etc. They just got a wine & beer license.
There is an Ethiopian restaurant on York Ave close to where he's staying, but I don't think it's worth a meal on a short trip.
I also really like Cascabel Taqueria, and nearby is Wa Jeal, very good Szechuan food.

I have been to Wa Jeal many times in the last several months, and have had consistently good meals. The kitchen is firing on all cylinders. I like it as much as Grand Sichuan on 54th & 2nd, and more than Szechuan Chalet. The OP is asking about upper east side restaurants.
Wa Jeal

Szechuan Chalet
1395 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10021
re: gutsofsteel
I understand, I just disagree. Wa Jeal is not worth it IMO. Based on my one visit to Szechuan Chalet, I think you can get a better experience there if you order right.
re: scoopG
I found Wa Jeel to be very, very average. At the most, a mixed bag. Some dishes had good proteins while the accompanying sauce was bland, and visa versa. I'm with ScoopG, it's not a "have to be there" kind of place.
re: scoopG
I've been to both many times, and to Szechuan Chalet a few times with a friend of the house. I still think Wa Jeal is better.
You've only been to Szechuan Chalet once - try it some more and see what you think.

re: gutsofsteel
Would love to read your more specific notes/reviews on their dishes...
re: scoopG
I have to agree with Guts, Wa Jeal is consistently good and the best Chinese of any sort on the UES. I don't know if it is because they know how I like my food but it has been well spiced on almost every visit.

re: scoopG
Let's see - last week we had the following dishes, IIRC, and they were all very good:
Pork Belly with cucumber in chili garlic-soy sauce
spicy cucumber salad
string beans with minced pork
Cellophane Noodles with chili-minced pork
lamb with chili and cumin
ma paul tofu
re: scoopG
I mix it up here but I get the following dishes on a frequent basis
Ox Tongue and Tripe in Hot Oil
Szechuan Dumplins in Hot Oil
Diced Rabbit and Peanut
Ma Paul Tofu (sometimes with the fish too)
Thousand Chili Chicken (whatever they call the Chong Qing)
The dishes Guts mentioned are also usually good.
Beers and a sandwich platter at The Heidelberg would be fine. 1648 Second Avenue between 85th and 86th Streets. http://www.heidelbergrestaurant.com/
re: Up With Olives
The food at the Heidelberg is mediocre at best, and their beer selection is pretty bad.
re: gutsofsteel
I've always liked the Jaeger Schnitzel and the potato pancakes at Heidelberg. Since I don't drink beer, I can't comment on their beer selection.
re: Up With Olives
Heidelberg is especially a cozy place to go on a cold winter's night. Funny that the resident nay-sayer gutsofsteel has nothing positive to say about Heidelberg... it's ALWAYS jam-packed, not an empty seat to be had on weekend evenings. hmmmm, guess not to many people agree with ya there, Guts
re: Tracy Au Lait
McDonald's is packed too...does that make it good?
Heidelberg is fun, but the food is really not very good.
Cascabel Taqueria is very good and is a nice little place - albeit, very little! www.nyctacos.com
re: bkfan16
No, it's not very little, since they moved down the block to a bigger space.
re: gutsofsteel
Didn't know that...guess I don't really wander 2nd Ave much in the winter - I'm on the west side of the street, too...and with the subway construction, it's hard to see much across the way.
Zebu Grill on East 92nd btw 1st and 2nd for Brazilian and pretty good caipirinhas
Zebu Grill
305 E 92nd St, New York, NY 10128
If he has a sweet tooth, the brooklyn blackout cupcake at Two Little Red Hens is not to be missed.
And I think my favorite bagel place is Tal Bagels on 86th between 1st and 2nd.
As far as bars...there are soooo many along 2nd Avenue. Nothing stands out to me in particular as a must see but then again, I usually look for the cheapest pitchers and best specials!
Two Little Red Hens
1652 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10028
Beyoglu serves delicious Turkish food, although I can't speak to its authenticity. The complimentary bread is warm and fresh, and I always order the vegetarian platter. Everything else I've tried is great too, and portions are generous.
200 E 81st St, New York, NY 10028
Sunday morning... if he wants a big breakfast/brunch... he should go to Eli's Vinegar Factory just around he corner on 91st between York and 1st.On the second floor there's a rather rustic spot serving delicious stuff at the usual Eli price. -:)
Eli's Vinegar Factory
431 E 91st St, New York, NY 10128
I like Hummus Kitchen on 2nd Ave & 84th, especially for lunch - skip the wraps and go for the Hummus Kitchen platter (with 4 varieties + pita).
I vote 'no' on Cascabel - when I went, the tacos were underwhelming - I don't understand all the hype about that place.
Hummus Kitchen
1613 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10028
re: taxigourmet
I really like the tacos (and other food) at Cascabel....over at least 8-10 visits in the last 6 months.
i agree with the first response that Cascabel Taqueria @ 80th Street & 2nd Ave is a fun place to go. delicious food, really fun atmosphere & a few large screens above the bar to keep tabs on whatever sports might be happening---> 212-717-8226 http://www.nyctacos.com/ ....however always crowded in the evening
for mexican food, i'd also suggest MxCo @ 78th St and 2nd Ave -----> 212-249-6080 http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/... .....good food and FANTASTIC margaritas: perfectly tart, if you don't care for the sickly sweet margarita mix so many places dish out
but my first suggestion for a memorable cocktail is the Central Park Boathouse. a quick jaunt into the park and a very civilized experience in a historical establishment. their draft beer selection is slim pickins but the bar staff is above par & professional ....they can mix up just about any concoction you request. but they keep erratic hours during the winter months and sometimes close way too early, so i would DEFINITELY call before making the journey over there. -------> 212.517.2233 http://www.thecentralparkboathouse.com/

A court-appointed referee says former Nebraska state Sen. Brenda Council should keep her law license even though she used campaign money to gamble at casinos.
Fremont attorney Thomas Thomsen recommends that the Nebraska Supreme Court suspend Council's license for one year and place her on probation for another two.
Council was sentenced to three years of probation and fined $500 earlier this year after pleading guilty to a federal wire fraud charge. She also was fined $500 after pleading guilty to two state misdemeanor charges related to her use of campaign money.
The former Omaha lawmaker lost her 2012 re-election bid to state Sen. Ernie Chambers.
Thomsen says Council has repaid all of the money taken from her campaign election fund and is undergoing treatment for a gambling addiction.

Former Governor Kathleen Blanco is criticizing the oil spill response. In an interview with KATC, Blanco says local, state and federal governments were slow to act.
"That was the main lesson that I learned from Katrina, you don't wait, if we had waited, we would have lost more lives," Blanco said.
Some 1,800 lives were lost in Hurricane Katrina and Blanco herself was criticized by some by not doing enough.
"There are things that happened that are bigger than all of us, lots of people had a field day on my back."
Blanco says she would like to see a more unified response from local, state and federal governments to keep oil off our shores.

Dinner Options in Cambridge??
Will be in Cambridge in 2 weeks for a conference and will have the opportunity to have two dinners out. Looking for casual, fun, excellent food in the Cambridge area near the Royal Sonesta Hotel. The hotel is located at 40 Edwin H. Land blvd. Would prefer to walk, but can do the cab if needed.
Open to all cuisines and want to go to places where folks that live there go for dinner -- no tourist-oriented places if possible.
Thanks in advance for the info.
Earlier this summer I had a very nice meal at Dante, which happens to be located IN the Royal Sonesta hotel. We ate outside on the patio and found the food to be delicious.
The service could have been better (after delivering our entrees our waiter seemed to forget about us and missed out on our ordering another round of wine/cocktails).
Despite that though I'd probably go back just for the great food. But I think I'll sit at the bar next time.
Yes, this is a "hotel" restaurant - but it's not just for the tourists.
You'll be very close to Helmand - a great Afghani restaurant and one of my all time Boston area favourites. They're closed Sunday and Monday, I believe, and I would make reservations as they're very popular. I can't find if they have a website - but this might be useful:
Final tip: Get the kaddo (pumpkin). You'll thank me later.
Oleana for middle eastern....original, great flavors, a little funky.
Dali for the best tapas experience you may ever have.
The Thirsty Scholar for a burger and a beer.
i and a few others weighed in on this last week... check it out.
Dali is wonderful, but a bit of a long walk from the Sonesta Hotel. I also love it for the tapas experience, recent gripes here notwithstanding, but I do think you can probably manage a better tapas experience in Madrid or Sevilla.
There are some lovely options within a short stroll from the hotel, including the aforementioned Helmand for Afghan and Similans, which is a fine Thai restaurant (the mango curry seems to disappear rapidly every time I'm there with friends and order it). <http://www.brownsugarcafe.com/> for details.

Another Successful Clean Stream
Posted in Latest Updates on September 22, 2014 by Katherine Dockery
It is a little over 4 weeks since Operation Clean Stream and we are still pulling the numbers together to measure the success of this ever popular program. In spite of very hot weather, thousands of volunteers showed up to clean our rivers and parks. Our preliminary findings show that we had at least 2,300 volunteers, collected over 2,000 tires and removed over 8,800 pounds of metal. Stay tuned for final numbers in the near future. Especially encouraging were the number of children who pitched in to help this year. We had many scout troops and families working side by side to restore our rivers and open spaces to their natural, clean and healthy state. We also saw about 230 children learning about the importance of clean water in our Passport to Clean Water program on the Meramec Greenway. We had so many interesting and informative educators this year who instilled a love for clean water in each child's heart and what their responsibility is to help keep the water clean. It was encouraging to see these future environmentalists taking this role seriously, but having fun at the same time. Overall, this year's Operation Clean Stream was tremendously effective and successful. Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers who care about our environment and healthy, clean places that everyone can enjoy. We hope to see you again next year!
New St. Louis county park
Posted in Latest Updates on August 05, 2014 by Katherine Dockery
Congratulations to St. Louis County who recently opened Schaefer Bend, a new park in Florissant. This is the first new park for the county in 15 years. The 15 acre parcel was donated by Ron Schaefer of Schaefer-Meyer Grading Division, Inc. There are 13,700 homes within 2 miles of the park and I'm sure the residents will love this new open space. Plans for the park include an athletic field, playground and restrooms. There are now 13,000 acres of parks in St. Louis County.
Welcome to the OSC New Board Members!
