Computer freezes randomly.
Hey guys, im having a problem with my computer where it will freeze at random times. When i mean freeze i mean, completely freeze, im not able to access task manager, or move my mouse, or even turn on/off num lock, everything just freezes and i have to restart my computer by holding my power button down. I have recently reformatted my computer completely to try to fix the problem, but it still freezes.

There are several ways to find what the problem is. The best is to go into event viewer (type eventvwr in search). Go to the windows log>application tab.
You want to look for critical errors (they have red in the left column ).
When you find them you want to look for critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the problem.
When you find them please note the event ID, and the source codes and tell us what they are.
Let us know if you need help with any of this.

Climb fast, shred hard, no compromise.
With the Lib Tech T.Rice Pro Model Splits C2-BTX HP Splitboard, you can now take your favorite board deeper into the backcountry in search of new zones. Based off his iconic pro model, this split employs a high-speed power freestyle shape, and kicks it up with Horsepower construction. The twin shape is perfect for full speed hits in both directions, and it easily accommodates a more directional freeride setup as well if you prefer. When you're ready to ditch the lift to go find something better, the T.Rice Splits will take you there.
C2-BTX Power Banana technology features rocker between the bindings for a floaty and forgiving ride in powder, with camber zones extending from the bindings to the tip and tail to give it a more aggressive, poppy feel. The camber zones also improve grip when you're skinning up icy tracks. Magne-Traction edges slice through ice like a knife so you can hold an edge on the slickest slopes, and a twin shape and centered stance allows for easy switch riding. Unlike traditional clips, the included Karakoram board clips actively pull both halves of the board together, which means less chatter and better response.
Travis also knows how important protecting the environment is for snowboarding, which is why this board is made in USA using eco-conscious materials. Horsepower construction means that the T. Rice HP split forgoes traditional fiberglass in favor of environmentally friendly basalt fibers. The result is more torsional stiffness and a lighter board than traditional constructions, and it's stronger to boot. A blend of Power A, Polonia, and Aspen XL wood in the core makes it strong, snappy, and lightweight, and the wood comes from fast-growing, sustainably harvested trees so you're not contributing to the destruction of the rainforests, plus the Bio Bean topsheet is made from castor beans instead of petroleum-based plastics.

stomps everything but ice, skins SO nice
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I own 3 of these splits (why, one might ask?) You can't bogart the backcountry all to yourself, and it seems that at the end of the season, splitties can be had for 50% off (must be like, zero profit for the retailers, but hey? it is what it is!)
I started with the voile set up on a split decision, and have seen the advancements of the binding systems with GREAT delight, and swear by the Karakoram system, particularly the ultra lights.
I have installed a 3rd K clip to ALL 5 of my splitties and it is WELL worth the additional 50 grams. Don't do it without a drill press, and be willing to patiently start with your smallest drill bit and work all the way up through your bit sizes until you have the correct size so that your holes are precise. If not, you will have un-desired play.
If you install these proper, you will never even notice ANY difference from a non split. If you don't, there will always be that gap that actually will even catch an inner edge when buttering. Now, with the Gecko clueless skins, and the Karakoram system, it is feasible to keep up with your skiing buddies, or even outpace them! I did a double tour with my buddy on skis last year, 2 x 4 hour tours back to back! I know full well that I would not have been up to the second tour without my trick set-up. This deck ROCKS!! I would rather have the C-1 like my "El Nino" deck for skinning, and in general for everything, BUT⦠if you are a switch hound like me, you will LOVE how C-2 does it ALL except for conditions that you don't want! I leave the undesirable conditions to my Jones solutions. Yes, when it is icy and un-predictable, leave it to Dr. Jones and his mountaineering deck, but for EVERYTHING else, stick with the C-2!

The Valley of the Sun United Way is expecting at least 500 homeless guests to find aid and assistance at its Project Connect event Thursday, July 18, and is hoping its own volunteers will find a home as well: in the hearts of the guests they aid.
"Volunteers play a key role in ending homelessness as guest guides at Project Connect events," said Amy Schwabenlender, vice president of community impact for VSUW, in a July 9 press release. "Volunteers also gain a rewarding experience, working one-on-one to transform individual lives.
The event is being held at Tempe's Grace Community Church, 1200 E. Southern Ave., and guests will be paired with volunteers and help them navigate amongst the more than 30 human services providers and organizations that will be on-site to help those the guests.
"That is why it's a rewarding experience," said Beth Lucas, marketing manager for the Valley of the Sun United Way. Volunteers and guests will get to share and know each other on a personal level.
No prior experience is necessary to volunteer and Lucas said the organization is expecting to need about 400 individuals to help and Tempe is one of their busiest locations for the Project Connect events.
Steve Vlahovich, the stewardship pastor for the church, knows just how busy it can be. In its first year hosting the event last year, he said they were expecting about 375 to 400 guests and ended up serving over 500.
"It's a not just a service that we're providing, it's a privilege for us," he said.
Last year was the first of a three year agreement that the church came into with the local United Way arm to host the event. Vlahovich said a number of staff and members of the congregation attended Project Connect events in previous years and decided to talk to the church leadership about becoming more included.
Among the regular items like food and clothing, guests will also have portable showers, be provided with haircuts, can get their bicycles repaired, and volunteers will taxi guests to get bus passes or go to the DMV. Vlahovich said that GCC works with Tempe Community Access Agency and Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Project to provide these services and works with them on other projects throughout the year.
Volunteers can work a morning, afternoon or a day-long shift. They are provided breakfast and lunch by Chandler's Without Walls Christian Center, according to Vlahovich. Morning shifts are 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., the afternoon shift is 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., and the day-long shift is 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"Each volunteer has a unique and rewarding experience, working one on one with guests. After donating their time to transform lives of people they meet face to face and come to care for, they truly understand that homelessness identifies no one, and can be overcome," said Lucas. "That is why we say 'individuals experiencing homelessness,' because it is not the definition of anyone. The guests who come to connect are working hard to take the steps they need to overcome or prevent homelessness."
According to the 2012 Homelessness in Arizona Annual Report, submitted by the Department of Economic Security to Gov. Jan Brewer, 60 percent of the homeless population resides in Maricopa county, despite the county only accounting for 50 percent of the state's total residents.
Lucas said 45 percent of the guests from last year's Project Connect in Tempe had kids.
In a press release for the event, VSUW said thousands of families, veterans and other individuals experience homelessness due to things like job loss, foreclosure or unexpected medical bills.
"Homelessness impacts our entire community. Project Connect is a big part of a regional solution to end homelessness. It is a national model which changes individual lives and will transform the entire community," the release stated.
Valley of the Sun United Way works to ensure children and youth succeed, end hunger and homelessness and increase the financial stability of individuals and families in Maricopa County. Through programs such as Project Connect, which are held every month in different cities throughout Arizona, and the development of Permanent Supportive Housing partnerships, United Way is committed to end chronic homelessness in our community.

So I made the switch-a-roo and dumped MS Office of my system (safely archived on the original install CDs).
Above you see a sliver of the Terminal, Activity Monitor ('cuz it's neat), Coda, Numbers, Pages, and NeoOffice.
NeoOffice is there to do "heavy lifting" in case I run across some Office-y type function I can handle with Numbers or Pages. You know serious things like printing one mailing label in the middle of a sheet. You know. Hard core functionality.
I've also moved Abouthalf to WordPress.
I've been using WordPress on BluePlate Bachelor for quite a while and I finally decided to make the switch.
WordPress has two big pluses over RapidWeaver.
- It's not platform specific
- It imports and exports a variety of formats.
- One can edit a theme inline and on-the-fly
- It doesn't bug me to upgrade every time I launch it
Four. Four big pluses.
I am using the nifty "Ideal Website Theme" from InformationArchitects.jp.
I like the clean simplicity of the design, I like the placement of archives as links at the bottom and other features. I figure this was a nice palette cleanser while I figure out how I want Abouthalf to work in the future.
WordPress is a nice product for an end-user to work with. As a developer, I look at some of the plug-in code and shudder. WordPress is a very typical PHP application, and all that that implies. This is not relevant though. The blogging/writing interface is nice and clean, and I can export my data, or dig it out of my database however I want, meaning I can change my little mind any time I want.
Speaking of horrible PHP code, I've been working with the Zend Framework over the past few days, writing a 'back office' for a shopping cart.
It's very nice. No really. It de-crappifies a lot of the problems with PHP application writing. The framework is PHP 5 only, which some my deride, I applaud.
The framework has a lot of the features that you mind find in Cake or Ruby On Rails. A Object-Relational-Data system, a controller object with view objects, a "Front Controller" class if you want to implement a full application.
I tried noodling around with CakePHP a few times. Went through the docs, tried the blog tutorial, tried it again. I always found it very counter-intuitive, and counter PHP.
One problem I find with CakePHP is that while it's powerful, you can't leverage any piece of the framework by itself easily. For example. Say you've got an existing web site…and you want to add on one simple data entry form. Cake wants you to build a whole app. While you hypothetically could extract its implementation of ActiveRecord, it wouldn't be easy.
With Zend Framework you have the option of using only bits of the framework in a decoupled fashion.
So, for example, if your data-entry form only has one view, and one action, and it's the only form you're making, then you can just use the Zend_Db and Zend_Table classes and be done with it. If it gets slightly more complex, you could – at any time – add in a controller object – and then add in add in a view object when and if you need to. Nice.
In the past week I've found it to be easy to under stand and work with. The documentation on the individual components is pretty solid…however you may need to hunt for a good "putting it all together" tutorial. I've found two good ones by the same guy:
Coming soon I'll detail how I used the Zend_View class in coordination with the Zend_Mail class to send notification emails from within a controller action method.

Dell Latitude XT tablet PC
December 13, 2007 In a move they believe will help facilitate the tablet PC product category to go mainstream Dell has announced the Latitude XT – a 12.1-inch convertible tablet with pen and capacitive touch capability that weighs in at under four pounds and is just an inch thick. Capacitive technology, popularized recently thanks to Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch, senses the touch of a finger with no pressure required for the system to recognize input. It is also the forerunner to emerging multi-touch capabilities that allow the use of more than one finger for tasks such as zoom and repositioning a picture. Read More
Dell adds M1530 laptop to XPS range
November 29, 2007 Following hot on the heels of the recently released XPS One, Dell has announced another addition to their 'Xtreme Performance System' (XPS) line of PC's with the release of the XPS M1530. According to Dell, the XPS series aims to offer the latest PC technologies available at competitive prices and with distinctive styling and judging by the specs, the XPS M1530 goes a long way towards delivering: the 15.4-inch laptop features a built in 2 megapixel webcam, biometric finger-print reader for added security and fewer passwords to remember, and design accents such as polished chrome detailing, touch-sensitive multi-media buttons, brushed aluminum accents and a choice of colors.

"Beautiful" XPS One is the Dell of the Ball
November 21, 2007 Dell has placed an emphasis on aesthetics for their latest all-in-one desktop system – but the sleek XPS One is more than just a pretty screen. The computer includes a webcam with dual-array microphone, a 20 inch, widescreen, edge-to-edge tempered glass monitor that displays HD media, side mounted speakers, built in Wi-Fi, internal Bluetooth 2.0 peripherals, and a built in TV tuner and optional Blu-ray disc drive for U.S. models. Preinstalled copies of Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, Premiere Elements 4 and Adobe Soundbooth CS3 for U.S. models cap off the multimedia friendly system. Read More
New open standard for monitoring PC peripherals
November 7, 2007 More than 15 leading PC OEMs, motherboard, and peripheral manufacturers have joined together to endorse Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA), a new, open and royalty-free standard for the monitoring and controlling of PC power supplies, chassis, and water-cooling systems. Backed by PC industry names including NVIDIA, Dell, HP, Alienware, CoolerMaster and Thermaltake, ESA specifies an information protocol that system components can use to communicate with each other to adjust operating parameters, and relay important system information back to the user.

HP joins Apple and Dell with 30-inch computer screen
September 7, 2006 According to IDC, business PCs, monitors, printers and other peripherals will continue to comprise well over half of the worldwide hardware spend through 2010, which could total nearly $1.4 trillion between 2007 and 2010. So it's not surprising to see competition mounting in the"mammoth" screen-size territory with HP yesterday introducing a 30-inch diagonal wide-aspect screen, the HP LP3065 display to take on Apple's 30-inch Cinema HD Display and Dell's UltraSharp 3007WFP. The LP 3065 will be available in time for Christmas (November 1 to be exact) at US$2000. The specifications of the new screen can be seen here and a detailed image of the all black monster can be seen here. Read More
June 1, 2006 One of the most intriguing products of the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show was Dell's BIG SCREEN mobile concept which caused some interesting comment due to its expected weight. Yesterday, Dell unveiled its portable 20-inch widescreen entertainment PC, the XPS M2010. The system's multimedia features include a 20.1-inch, high-definition widescreen monitor, eight speakers plus a subwoofer, a detachable, full-sized Bluetooth wireless keyboard and gyroscope-enabled remote, a webcam and a slot-load DVD drive. The articulating hinges supporting the display double as a system handle when the system is closed. The XPS M2010 starts at US$3,500, and is available immediately and weighs in at 18.3 pounds.

The Dell 3007WFP 30-inch LCD - and then there were two...
January 15, 2006 At long last, there's a competitor to Apple's 30-inch Cinema HD Display – Dell released its Widescreen UltraSharp 3007WFP flat-panel LCD monitor at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month, effectively lowering the price of one of these delectable, productivity-enhancing beasties from US$2499 to US$2199. Both screens require a dual link DVI video card to drive them, and neither of them are all that cheap, but consider the Return On Investment offered by a larger screen – Apple's research shows productivity is linked to the amount of screen real-estate while Microsoft's research shows that two screens offer more productivity than one screen, so why not supercharge your productivity with two of these screens. It's a simple business decision - paying US$2500 for a permanent 10% productivity increase or US$5000 for better than 20% is a no brainer for any professional who spends more than a few hours a day in front of a workstation.

Dell seeks opinion on the 20 inch laptop concept
January 14, 2006 During the first Gulf War, I had the misfortune to be travelling around Asia and Europe carrying the very first Apple Macintosh portable – indeed, it was more a luggable than a portable, and with check-ins routinely three to four hours before international flights at that time, and personal computers eyed with great suspicion, I grew to both love and hate the machine for the trouble it caused me as I schlepped it around. More than a decade later, seeing Dell's XPS Mobile Concept gave me the same autonomous shudders a Vietnam veteran gets when he hears a helicopter. The XPS is BIG – some reports place it at up to 18 pounds. The really weird thing is – I want one! Read More

Video games are an evolution of the human tradition of storytelling. It began as tales told around a fire, progressed into images painted on walls, developed into text printed on paper, and advanced to moving pictures accompanied by sound. Video games take story telling a step farther. The audience is no longer a passive spectator, but is instead an active participant in the story being told. Often authors are tapped to write tie-in fiction for popular video game franchises, and sometimes they are even hired on to help craft compelling stories for the games themselves.
We asked this week's panelists…
Here's what they said…
If it was easy to write good games everyone would do it.
There was a time when killing aliens, monsters, and bad guys was enough. But not anymore. Now gamers want good writing too!
Yeah, yeah, I know. There are lots of games that don't involve shooting things. And that's good. But since I don't play those games my expertise (such as it is) relates to shooting aliens, monsters and bad guys. And I believe good writing and good game play can coexist.
But before I get into that I should divulge that my perspective has been shaped by writing tie-in novels for franchises like Star Wars, Halo, Starcraft, Hitman, Resistance, and Mass Effect.
I've written games too, including Sony's RESISTANCE: Burning Skies with Mike Bates, and the LEGION OF THE DAMNED® ios game with Conlan Rios. But I have never been a full-time employee of a gaming studio–so my knowledge is limited to what I have seen from the outside looking in.

Post-Tribune staff report December 28, 2013 10:41AM
Updated: January 30, 2014 6:55AM
CHESTERTON — A Michigan man died early Saturday when he stepped in front of a car on Interstate 94.

1973 – After a bond is passed, construction begins on the Civic Center, which is designed in the brutalist architectural style.
1977 – The Civic Center is fully occupied.
1997 – The original bonds to pay for the Civic Center are refinanced, saving the city $178,000 annually.
2005 – Reviews show that the Civic Center doesn't meet Federal Emergency Management Administration standards for seismic safety. The four concrete wings on the corner of City Hall put too much of a load on the structure, columns and verticals are overburdened, columns are deformed and beams are weak.
October 2005 – The city considers recommendations to replace the four concrete columns on City Hall with a lighter material, boost horizontal stability, and add other features to make the building safer.
2009 – Over 10 million pounds of soil are removed from the garden atop the Main Library, making the building lighter and extending its lifespan. A sealant layer is applied to keep water from leaking inside.
Aug. 10, 2010 – The City Council votes to pay off the 1997 refinance with $34 million in new bonds, cutting its monthly debt payment in the process.
April 2013 – The city begins accepting "request for qualifications" from companies that believe they can finance, design, construct, operate and maintain a new City Hall and Main Library.
2027 – Payment on the last of the current Civic Center's bonds is due.
After evaluating seven interested companies, senior city staff has determined that three of them are qualified to develop a new Long Beach Civic Center.
The next step starts tonight. The City Council will likely task Acting City Attorney Charles Parkin with writing a document that officially asks these three companies to submit designs, financial documents, operational and maintenance plans and other documents for a new Civic Center, including a new City Hall and Main Library. It will give these companies some direction on what the city wants out of a new Civic Center.
The project would likely cost more than $100 million, would change how people interact with Long Beach government, change the city's skyline and, depending on the timing, could define Mayor Bob Foster's legacy.
What: City staff is briefing City Council on a proposal to rebuild the Civic Center. Also on the agenda is a contract that gives members of four city unions a 9 percent pay raise in four years and changes the way their pensions are funded.
When: The meeting begins at 5 tonight.
Where: In Council Chambers at City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd.
Parking: The city garage accessible from Broadway is free during the meeting. Drivers who are attending the meeting should take a ticket when they enter the parking structure, but they can leave without paying.
WHAT: City staff will brief the Long Beach City Council on a proposal to rebuild the Civic Center. Also on the agenda is a contract that gives members of four city unions a 9 percent pay raise in four years and changes the way their pensions are funded.
WHEN: 5 p.m. Tuesday.
WHERE: Council Chambers, City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd.
PARKING: The city garage accessible from Broadway is free during meeting. Drivers should take ticket when entering, but can leave without paying.
Whoever rebuilds the Long Beach Civic Center will be a heavy-hitter in the development world, that seems certain. But what's less clear is what the three companies city staff has put on the short list of developers will do with the opportunity.
After receiving seven applications, a panel of city staff members has picked Related California, Long Beach CiviCore Alliance and Plenary-Edgemoor Civic Partners to create plans for a new Civic Center. The panel, which was assisted by real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle, considered the companies' financial backing, design and development qualifications, community engagement plans and other factors.
• Related California is based in Irvine, and its website shows that it deals with residential developments, but it has brought on partners and consultants to add expertise. It has worked with governments before. "Everything we have done specialized in public-private partnerships, and this would certainly be one," Bill Witte, the company's president said.
• Plenary-Edgemoor Civic Partners is primarily made up of the Plenary Group and Edgemoor Infrastructure and Real Estate. The Plenary Group has done major projects around the world, and Edgemoor has done significant projects itself, including the new Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse. The company didn't return requests for comment.
• CiviCore consists of Lend Lease, Mar Ventures and Continental Development. Lend Lease has done projects all over the world, but according to its website, its only government project in the U.S. is a New York courthouse. Mar Ventures has experience in Southern California urban development, and its president, Allan Mackenzie, is also the principal of a development company that specializes in public-private partnerships. Continental Development has "developed and managed 4 million square feet of premium office, research and development, commercial, retail, restaurant and entertainment properties," its website says. Mackenzie didn't return a request for comment.
On Tuesday, the council is expected to ask the city attorney to create an official request for these companies to create proposals detailing how they would design, build, operate, finance and maintain a new Civic Center. The plans they submit will likely have the juicy details for City Hall and the Main Library – artistic sketches, the price tag and features the library and city offices would have.
This step is at least eight years in the making, and city staff is now recommending a new committee to help create transparency and to get expert input and support through the process. The committee would include an unspecified number of City Council members and harbor commissioners, and they would be charged with tracking community outreach efforts, reviewing design guidelines, making suggestions and approving the city attorney's official request for proposals before it's given to the three development companies.
"In order to properly develop an RFP that reflects the desires of the community, the City Council and the Board of Harbor Commissioners, a robust community outreach and engagement efforts will be included in order to establish appropriate design guidelines and public amenities," states a report to the City Council and mayor from Michael Conway, director of business and property development.
While no specific details have been created, city documents show that the way people think of the Civic Center could change significantly. For example, a new government campus could include the port headquarters, and it could also include enough workspace to prompt the city to end leases at eight properties across Long Beach, saving $178,538 in rent, parking and other expenses every month. It could also incorporate the old courthouse on Ocean Boulevard and the city garage at 51 E. Third St., as well as overhaul Lincoln Park.
"I think that this is a way to re-imagine a Civic Center and a civic plaza," Mayor Bob Foster said. "You want this to be a very modern civic plaza in which people can use it and congregate."
Besides the library, there could be a coffee shop or an Internet café that would attract people, Foster said.
"It becomes a place you want to gather, rather than to get a permit or go to City Hall. It would be a place you would want to go to," he said.
Bill Witte, president of Related California, said his company won't have specific details on what their proposal will look like until the city releases its requirements, but he sees it as more than a place to just do government business. It needs to be more than just a place where city employees work and people go on official work, he said.
Foster said the properties may also include private buildings along with government ones. Depending on how the land is configured, there may be "excess land," and it may be the most cost-effective for the city and developer to turn that land into a private building that generates money.
The origins of this project have very little to do with Long Beach. After Hurricane Katrina, the federal government required cities to assess important infrastructure.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

It never occurred to me that the bottles we use (medela) could be causing some of LO's horrible gas problems.
We went out and bought Playtex Drop-Ins and they seem to help a little, but I HATE them! They make me dread feeding time.
So...what bottles do you use? Why do you like them? If you've had issues with LO's tummy, have they helped?
I don't use bottles. I'm pretty proficient at drinking out of a cup. lol j/k
We use Avent. They tend to leak if you screw the lid on too tight but Natalie really likes them. We used to use Nuks but she was having problems with gas and she just didn't seem to like them.
Thanks ladies!
Sam - Hehe! I couldn't think of another way to phrase it. I'm working on 2 hours sleep.
GreenEyedGal:Why do you hate the drop-ins? We use them and LOVE them. Clean up is a breeze but more importantly, his gassiness decreased by alot. I do hate the cost of the bags though .
I think it has to do with the wide nipples. LO wastes half the bottle on himself...just can't keep the milk in his mouth....he'll have it streaming out of both sides of his mouth. So frustrating at 3 in the morning.
Our favorites are Born Free and the Breastflow bottles made by The First Years.
We have tried: Playtex Drop Ins (they were OK) Playtex Ventaire (seems to make her really gulp fast) Nuks(did not like at all) Medela (ok but she collapses the nipple constantly).
We use both drop-ins and Avent. I preferred the drop-ins for DD1 but this time I'm finding I like the Avent ones much better!
As far as the leaking problem.. that's been fixed You just have to get their new ones that have an extra ring between the bottle and the nipple. We never have leaking issues w/ the new Avent bottles

It was a hot day at Washington Square Park and everyone came out to play… children, dogs, cloggers, tap dancers, drummers, a violinist, and us. We sat with Sonji, a musician who performs under the name JackLucy, on a bench near one of the entrances of the park, and the setting couldn't have been more ideal for our discussion. There we were, the park in front of us, a violinist playing in the background, and I was exactly one day away from turning 30. We were in deep thought about the perplexities of the day to day existence and it's effect on our creativity, but I was anxious for her to tell me what the other side of 30 looked like. Her interpretation of it was murky at first, but by the end of our conversation, we all walked away soaked with a new perspective on our lives, a feeling of hope in our creative dreams, and ready to venture into our beginning.
Sonji was born and raised in a Pittsburgh neighborhood that ostracized her for being different. She didn't quite fit in and she didn't feel like anyone was interested in what she had to say, but these outside influences shaped her identity. It pushed her into playing music and eventually finding her voice, "music, it's not a team sport, I don't have to be involved with other people… and there's no real need for camaraderie, so I didn't have to feel excluded." As a way to emulate her folks, she picked up the flute when she was 8 years old and then she learned how to play the saxophone shortly after. She started playing guitar when she was 15, and by the time she was 17, she could play 10 instruments fluently, but she had an urge to write a song. The songwriting evolved from being heartbroken, but not in the classical sense. She was having a hard time grasping her sexuality and accepting it.
She's always considered herself a musician, but not a singer. She came from a family of singers who all sang in the standard style, but she wasn't able to sing like that, so to contend with them, she learned to play every instrument she could pick up, that is until she discovered Nirvana and Radiohead. She found this new style of singing in grunge music, "listening to those guys was when I decided to sing and song write because they were voices I've never heard before." She landed a meeting with a music label when she was 19 and was able to find some success there, but it was a suppressing experience, "when I was 15, I was singing whatever came out and I didn't really care what people thought, but once you get to the labels, you start considering how other people are going to receive it, and then it just doesn't make sense anymore - why can't I just play what I want?"
She spent years trying to fit into this mold of what everyone else wanted her to be or sound like, but now that she's in her early 30's, she's in a state of awareness. She's transitioned to the "B-Side," as my cousin Omar likes to call it… the flip-side of her life, and arguably the best side of the record. She's in her truest form and playing the most honest version of her music, "I'm coming to terms with my identity now instead of writing surface music that has nothing to do with how I'm really feeling. I was jaded by what everyone was saying, but it's taking me 10 years to figure it out, accepting that everyone is not going to like it. If this is my artistry, then this is what's going to come out, and this is what I'm going to create. This is what it's going to be."
JackLucy is all about blending a mix of hip hop and folk, its rhythmic and honest, it represents her alter ego. "Jack" being the most conventional name she could think of and "Lucy" represents the polar opposite of that, the female side. It embodies the dualistic make up of who she is. She's an introvert by nature, but an extrovert when she plays music. This project is going to be exactly what it's supposed to be, what she aspired to do when she was 19, but in it's authentic form, "as long as I continue to believe in it, continue to find things to inspire myself and just keep going, take in all the good, and be positive about what I want and sticking to it. I think it can be something new and fresh, that people haven't seen, that I've been sitting on, and I kinda grew into it. It's what I always thought that I was inside, but couldn't get out, so we'll see."
Her music is definitely motivated by heartbreak, but she's actively working to shift this, "It's always been love songs, a break up song… I don't write happy love songs. My music is always about the end of something, and I'm actually trying to change that." She wants to make music that celebrates the beginning, that fresh and exciting feeling when you discover something new. She's inspired by people who have to work really hard to do what they want to do, so with the JackLucy project, she has to be her biggest source of inspiration because she refuses to live her life in regret. "In order to survive, I have to play music because if I don't, then I'm going to die. My soul is going to die and I have to take a chance. I'd rather starve doing what I love than eat doing this, whatever this is, I can't do it anymore," and with that said, we were left speechless. It was the first time we ever thought our creative dreams were a life and death situation, like a shark… we have to keep moving towards our goal in order to exist.

"I never go anywhere twice but … I have been on Georgina's walking holidays in the Pyrenees four times now. The area is beautiful and Georgina creates a house party atmosphere which is so much better than other well-know holiday companies!" Chris, lawyer from Norfolk. See comments.
A video on who we are and what we do
What do we do?
For almost two decades our Basque farmhouse in the Spanish Pyrenees has run international house parties for guests from all walks of life and from all over the world.
Each house party offers our guests a totally original portfolio of guided or self-guided walking holidays in the Pyrenees and, on a few select dates a year we also run our celebrated total immersion Spanish language holidays made famous by reports in the Guardian, Observer and The Times.
Each holiday is unique; no week is ever the same as they draw on the personal experiences of our friends and neighbours and Spanish/Basque/English family.
Basque farmers, millers, shepherds, smugglers, chefs and musicians offer us their backstage knowledge and a privileged insight into the culture and gastronomy of these wildly beautiful, medieval landscapes. Every path offers its own personal story and a unique window on the little-known (and often misunderstood) lives of the mountain Basque people.
Our exclusive Spanish language house parties offer the additional element of language and a unique total immersion Spanish language and walking holiday for enthusiastic adult learners.
Hosted by native Spanish teachers and guides, they are open to a limited number of guests.
Our guided walking and self-guided walking holidays in the Pyrenees are woven around a personally chosen potpourri of Basque fiestas and gourmet restaurants. Vultures, watermills and pagan Basque rituals (whips and lace petticoats!) all play their part!
However, all weeks are run in our unique open-house house-party style, offering our guests a relaxed home-from-home, dinners on the terrace and a lively and intercultural meeting of minds.
We welcome people of all ages and walks of life, embracing solo travelers with NO single supplements!
See reviews in THE TIMES, THE OBSERVER, THE GUARDIAN and THE DAILY MAIL or see over 80 guests' COMMENTS on their experiences during their stay.
Who are we?
We are a small family company totally integrated into the traditional farming community of Ameztia, Ituren. I am English, my partner, Iñaki, is Basque Spanish as is my young shepherdess-of-a-daughter, Marion! We support the local community and work closely with our neighbours who genuinely welcome people onto their farms.
(Sagrario is amazed that her home-made sheep´s cheese has travelled as far as Australia!).
We love our work, which has allowed us all to meet wonderful people. Almost two decades on, the cultural exchanges in Ameztia still excite and enrich us all.
Where are we?
We live in the tiny mountain village of Ituren in Navarre about half an hour south of the French border in the extreme western Pyrenees. Less than an hour to the south lies the medieval city of Pamplona and to the north lie the glorious beaches of Biarritz and lively tapas bars of San Sebastian.
Although most of Ituren's buildings date back to the 16th -17th centuries, people have lived here since time immemorial and the village is acknowledged internationally for its Basque cultural roots.
The pagan carnivals held in January are now protected by UNESCO as part of Spain's intangible cultural heritage and are hailed as possibly the oldest carnival rites in Europe. In September the villages holds its own private pagan ceremonies with the same Joaldunak carnival characters (the focal point of our own Guided Walking Holidays.)
How do we do it?
Our ethos is relaxed and informal, the international house-party spirit is dynamic and fun and every meal and glass of wine is on the house (which seems the only civilised way to run a holiday).
But do not be deceived by the lazy lunches on the terrace and the views of vultures circling below, for we are also a team of highly-focused professionals passionately dedicated to all that we do. We see absolutely no reason why the two should not go hand in hand!

P.S. To get a closer idea of what we do, please check out the personal comments of over 80 guests or play the short videos at the top of each page; we have thousands of photos and its seems the quickest way to give you a general overview of who we are and what we do. THANKS!

Audience Square: How French Premium Publishers Collaborate On Ad Tech
Premium publishers are generally territorial. The idea of Hearst, Conde Nast and The New York Times offering a unified solution for media buying is a pipe dream. But French premium publishers operate in the spirit of greater cooperation.
In December 2012, Le Monde, Les Echos, Prisma Média, M6, L'Express and Libération created a subsidiary called Audience Square. The Audience Square media-buying platform helps manage inventory across digital platforms and is built from AppNexus technology (in fact, it's AppNexus' first major European client).
Publishers "had the feeling that programmatic and RTB would take a big part of the advertising world," said CEO Alexis Marcombe. "Instead of being dependent on other technologies or directly on other ad networks, they preferred to launch and manage their own company."
As digital markets have matured, so has Audience Square's role. Marcombe pointed out that though Audience Square originated as a manager of ad inventory, it has become a major ad tech center for the six publishers that fund the project as well as its shareholders, who include Express Roularta, NextRadioTV, Nouvel Observateur, Le Point, CCM Benchmark and RTL Net.
Case in point: Audience Square launched a mobile RTB platform in early May. The platform automates bidding across apps and the mobile Web. The company says its mobile offerings reach nearly 14 million mobile users each month.
The upshot is that publishers invested in Audience Square have direct access to technologies that can help them build their digital advertising initiatives.
"If Le Monde wants to do programmatic, they're big enough to do it on their own. Le Monde knows precisely what their advertisers will be attracted to," Marcombe said. "We have developed tools with AppNexus and [data-management platform provider] Ezakus that will make publishers independent to do programmatic. We are a kind of tech provider solution for publishers. They'll use our tools to make their deals easily."
The Ezakus partnership creates an additional data layer: the ability to use customer past purchase history to build lookalike audiences (Ezakus calls this "pretargeting"), thereby making ad inventory more valuable.
For example, imagine a Chanel campaign targeting females aged 30-50 living in Paris. Audience Square will place an Ezakus tag on Chanel.com. Over the course of one or two weeks, Ezakus will analyze the traffic on Chanel's site in order to determine the ideal visitor for Chanel.com. Ezakus matches the traffic to Audience Square's existing database of customers.
"Doing that we're able to understand the behavior of the 'good' Chanel visitor," explained Ezakus CEO Christophe Camborde, meaning within the age and gender targets specific to each campaign. "And with this data we're able to do scoring through a lookalike model to multiply Chanel's audience. We can create, for example, something like 50,000 targets that are similar to Chanel's audience. We are then able to guarantee Chanel increased traffic of customers similar to their current customers, but who have not yet visited Chanel.com. Those are Chanel's next clients."
Adding these targeting capabilities to Audience Square is crucial if it is able to deliver premium ad units, Marcombe said.
"The data that Ezakus provides us with allows us to improve the value of our inventory," he added. "We are able to target very basic things based on what customers want to buy and with pretargeting, we are able to notify our publishers of potential new customers."

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

New Hampshire firefighters battle 5-alarm blaze in Strafford

Firefighters were first called to the structure on Crown Point Road at about 5 a.m. Monday.
The home belonged to a family of six, and all residents have been accounted for. There were no injuries.
Efforts to fight the fire were hampered by a lack of water and the cold, windy weather.

I would alos be interested in on of these.
I would alos be interested in on of these.
195 would work for me!
Yes, count me in for one
Great! Thanks for the input, guys. I'll be sending Butch a few sketches, and since this isn't a preorder type of situation, and I really do think 190mm is a fantastic, underproduced length, I think we'll be going with that. Heel height is looking like it's gong to be about 35mm. How's that for everyone?
Well, you've Got my attention...
-Enjoy the ride. *** All statements made herein are my personal opinion and nothing more, regardless of tone or context. ***
I'd be interested in a 185! Taller height sounds intriguing
Sounds like an interesting work horse. I might be up for one as well instead of the parer.
Please count me in!!!!!
Greets benjamin
I'm interested as always
Great news, everyone. This directly resulted in a knife that you all saw get sold just a couple days ago. Butch took the design and decided to go with an 8" blade, but my design was true in the rest of it. Butch's expertise and talent turned out this one, on top:
Long story short, we're doing a run of these, and we think they are the perfect line knife. We will be going ahead with a small batch, with the price being $450. If you are interested, and I mean seriously interested, please let me know!
Thanks guys!

Depending on your budget, needs, and engine building skills..
There is only one choice for a inexpensive bolt on kit- the BBR 120. Add a real cam (as your funds allow) Web 68/69 or MegaCycle 129x6 and KW HD valve springs, be sure to check all your clearances- Maxim exhaust valve lift, with out sinking the valves or valve guide mods is .285") figger about $200 upgrade in addition to $230ish kit price= $430 Kit will still have a low 10.5:1 CR.
Carbs on the cheep!
24mm 200x ATC
24mm CRF150F
26mm XR200
These will bolt on the stock intake and air box boot. Use the stock XR200 or CRF150F throttle and cable. and/or the CR85 throttle and cable.
I've been testing/running a PWK 28 from a KX100 on my- far from stock BBR kit! 35 pj, JJH, 115 mj.
With all the mods above- the XR100 might just crack double digits for HP#'s
For about $600-700 budget op for a supper head 115 kit from Kitaco or Takegawa- will be solid in the teens for HP#'s as hot as you can get with out adding a stroker crank.
