In Colorado, children are born with skis attached. While this might make for an awkward and painful childbirth, they're fearless on the slopes and easily able to out ski their parents by age 3.
For your mid-age boarder, it's frustrating just how capable these little rug rats are. But it's also really fun and inspiring to watch them tackle any terrain they cross. And they do.
On my recent trip through southwest Colorado, I had the pleasure of spending a day boarding Durango Mountain Resort and was amazed at the number of kids and families on the slopes. About 15 miles outside Durango, the mountain is less expensive than Telluride, offers more lodging, and seems more family-friendly.
Still called "Purgatory," or "Purg" by locals, the area has been renamed the Durango Mountain Resort. Considering the number of Christians gathered for Sunday pre-ski prayers the day I visited, I'm thinking that Jesus might have had something to do with the rebranding.
As in Telluride, I again had a guide show me around. Whereas my Telluride guide had been a young ski bum, my Durango guide Nancy was a year-round resident. Everyone seemed to know her. At every lift, someone said "hi" or waved. "That's Purg for you," she told me. "I've been here a long time."
(Private guides at Durango Mountain Resort cost less than Telluride. A full day with a private instructor is $450 during regular season, $475 on the holidays. A half-day will cost you $270 for three hours, and you can book a two-hour private lesson for $180, as long as it's not during peak hours of 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.)
There were a lot more people on the mountain than I'd seen at Telluride, but it was the weekend, and there was fresh snow predicted that day. Nancy and I stuck to the main runs, but managed to cover quite a bit of the terrain between lifts #1 and #3 before heading to Dante's, off lift #5, for lunch.
It was on my way to Dante's where I realized that I had lost my camera. Nancy assured me that someone would return it. "That's how it is here," she said. "People return stuff they find." Yeah, right. The city boy in me was skeptical.
She was right. Within the hour she got a call that the camera had been found and it was waiting for me in the village. Something tells me that this wouldn't have happened anywhere else. Camera found, a celebratory beer and lunch was in order.
We stopped mountainside at Dante's restaurant, which overlooks the runs. Over a few tapas plates, I tried my first Steamworks IPA with brewery founder, Kris Oyler. I've said it before, and it bears repeating: the Coloradoans understand their beer. I'm not sure why they have so many fine examples of craft beers, but they do.
Like many craft brewers, Oyler started brewing beer as a hobby, and turned his passion into a full time occupation. In 1996, he and some friends opened Steamworks Brewing Company in Durango. Seeing as Steamworks was just down the street from the Strater Hotel where I was staying in Durango, I stopped by for dinner.
Steamworks is a family-friendly brew pub that has a bit of a steam-punk, DIY vibe to it. There's no doubt that you're in a brewery when you're inside, but it's still a comfortable and non-pretentious place to hang out. They put more effort into their food than a typical brew pub, but I felt drawn to the beers. I sampled nearly a dozen of Steamworks' offerings, which include stouts, ales and even a few Belgian-style brews.
My outstanding day on and off the snow ended with 'smores heated over glowing cans of Sterno and another glorious Third Eye P.A. Bright, hoppy and pleasingly bitter with a sweet finish, it personified the Colorado craft beer ethic – and my overall trip to Durango.
Thanks to the Colorado Tourism Office, Durango Tourism and Durango Mountain Resort for sponsoring this trip.

"There was a small possibility that for whatever reason, the participation would be so high that the CACs may not need to get triggered," Pawan Malik, managing director of Navigant Capital, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. "For the markets this may be a mild negative today."
The writedown is a key element in European leaders' efforts to turn the tide against the crisis that first emerged in Greece in late 2009, then forced Ireland and Portugal to follow Greece in requiring bailouts.
Germany and France, Europe's two biggest economies that have steered the euro-area's response to the crisis, welcomed the debt-swap take-up. The swap was a "great success" and "good news," and "hits all the objectives we set ourselves," French Finance Minister Francois Baroin said on RTL Radio.
Merkel 'Pleased'
Chancellor Angela Merkel is "pleased" about the "high level of participation of private creditors," Steffen Seibert, her chief spokesman, said in Berlin. It is "an encouraging result that will help put Greece on a path to stability. What's important now is for Greece to seize the opportunity offered by this debt swap, meaning it implements the agreed programs."
Greece's largest banks, most of the country's pension funds and more than 30 European banks and insurers including BNP Paribas SA and Commerzbank AG, had said they would agree to the offer before it closed yesterday at 10 p.m. Athens time.
In the exchange, investors will receive new bonds with a face value of 31.5 percent of the old ones together with notes from the European Financial Stability Facility. The new debt is governed by English law and comes with warrants that will provide extra income in years when Greek economic growth exceeds thresholds. The net present value loss for investors is more than 70 percent.
"Despite all the justified happiness about this issue we have to note that Greece is only buying time," Michael Kemmer, general manager of the BdB Association of German banks, said in an interview with Deutschlandfunk radio. "This is an important step -- the private sector showed solidarity. That's good, but the work has only just begun."

The tape landed at Merge, the Chapel Hill, North Carolina, label co-owned by Superchunk singer Mac McCaughan. Merge had proved to be a safe haven for other respected indies, including And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, and Spoon. The label snapped up the band and released the spirited new record, and the new professional relationship seems to please everyone involved.
"I think we're probably tapping into the audience that we should have in the first place," says Schwartz. "Merge is totally supportive, and I think they're doing a good job." (Martin Hall, a Merge publicist, is much less reticent, exclaiming that he hasn't been "this excited since I got that new bike for my sixth birthday!")
The new record and new label have placed Imperial Teen in an enviable position, drawing attention from all corners of the media and admiration from fellow musicians. In addition to supporting the Breeders on their current tour, the Teens were invited to open for Pink on her latest national jaunt. The Teens are poised for maximum exposure, which is just fine with them.
"It would be great if a lot of people caught on to it we want to make music for as many people as we can, but it's not the only thing that drives us," Schwartz explains. "It's a different thing for us; it's a creative thing."
Sure it is. But with the creative freedom offered by an indie label and a loyal fan base hungry for more, world domination can't be far behind.

Luring Android Users to Windows Phone 7: 10 Things Microsoft Must Do
Luring Android Users to Windows Phone 7: 10 Things Microsoft Must Do
Microsoft finds itself in a very bad spot in the mobile market. The company's chief competitor, Android, is running away with the smartphone market. In the tablet space, Apple's iOS is the go-to platform for most consumers and enterprise users. Microsoft, meanwhile, is trying to make Windows Phone 7 a desired choice for consumers in the smartphone space. It also hopes that folks will be willing to wait for Windows 8 before buying a tablet.
However, Microsoft appears to be failing in its goals. Now, the company must do something to reverse its luck and prove once and for all that it knows what to do to be a success in the hotly contested mobile market.
Unfortunately for Microsoft, while there are several options available to it, only one has a reasonable chance of success-trying to lure current Android users to Windows.
Google's operating system might be the most dominant force in the mobile space, but it's also Microsoft's biggest threat. What's more, it's arguably the easiest operating system to criticize and convince customers to move back onto Microsoft's corner.
Read on to find out what Microsoft should be doing to lure Android users back to its products.
1. Focus on security
The biggest issue facing Android is its security woes. The operating system is increasingly being targeted by malicious hackers, and Google has been forced to remove many malware-tainted applications from the Android Market. Windows Phone 7, on the other hand, hasn't suffered so many security issues. If Microsoft wants to coax more folks to its mobile platform, why not point that out?
2. Strike better deals with handset makers
So far, Microsoft has been able to strike some deals with handset makers, like Samsung and HTC, but it appears those companies are saving their best products for Android. Microsoft can no longer allow that. Even if it has to give companies extra cash or better deals, Microsoft should find a way to get only the best handsets running its operating system.
3. Leverage Windows
Microsoft has a huge installed base of Windows users that, so far, the company has done little to exploit. The smart move now is to do everything it can to leverage the popularity of Windows to grow its mobile market. Microsoft might be doing that to some extent with Windows 8 and its "tiles" layout, but more needs to be done now.
4. Where are all the tablets?
Microsoft's inability to get tablets on store shelves has proven to be a real liability for the company. Tablets are gaining popularity by the day, and Android devices, like the Galaxy Tab 10.1, are winning new sales. Whether Microsoft likes it or not, the company must get Windows tablets to store shelves as soon as possible. It'll prove that it at least understands what consumers want and then it can start cutting into Android's market share.
Go Big, Go Negative in Marketing Campaigns
5. Developers, developers, developers
Applications are integral to the success or failure of any mobile operating system. Therefore, Microsoft must do everything it can to lure developers from Android to Windows Phone 7. The company's recent announcement that it will share 80 percent of application revenue with Windows 8 developers that make more than $25,000 is great, but it's not enough. Microsoft should share 80 percent revenue with developers, no matter what. The company can afford it, and the move will dramatically improve its relations with application makers.
6. Tell vendors to start innovating on product design
As mentioned, Windows Phone 7-based devices appear to be second-string product lines for many companies. But those troubles go beyond product specifications. Oddly, Microsoft's handset partners are selling products that lack compelling designs, and that's turning off potential buyers. Microsoft must start leaning on handset makers and emphasizing how important product design is. If it can do that, it can go a long way in changing the state of the mobile space.
7. Focus on Samsung
If there is any company that could prove integral to Microsoft's growth in the mobile market, it's Samsung. That company is delivering some of the best smartphones and tablets on the market, as evidenced by its Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Tab 10.1, respectively. And although Samsung offers Windows Phone 7-based handsets, devices like the Focus can't generate sales like the Galaxy Nexus. It's time Microsoft focuses its efforts on Samsung to try and get the company to start caring more about Windows Phone 7 than Android.
8. The free phone giveaway is a good idea-keep it up
Microsoft's decision to offer free Windows Phone 7 devices to customers that have been burned by Android's security woes is a smart idea. It's something that Microsoft should not only continue, but it should add even more marketing muscle behind this promotion. Android handsets owners are displeased with the platform's security woes and it's about time Microsoft takes advantage of it.
9. Go negative in marketing campaigns
It's about time Microsoft starts getting tough with Google and Android. It's no secret the search giant can't stand Google. Furthermore, most would agree that Windows Phone 7 is a nicely designed and stable operating system. Why shouldn't Microsoft point that out and make it clear to anyone who will listen to its marketing that it believes Windows Phone 7 is a better operating system than Android? Microsoft needs to go negative against Android instead of just sitting back and hoping customers will come to its operating system.
10. Use Apple as a tool
Another important factor is for Microsoft to avoid trying to engage Apple in a marketing battle. Like it or not, iOS is a much better operating system than Windows Phone 7 and the iPhone is superior to competing handsets. So, rather than fight Apple, Microsoft should try to promote Windows devices as the best and most economical alternatives to Apple devices in its marketing and advertising. Regardless of what Microsoft does, it won't topple the iPhone anytime soon. So, it should accept that and try to make its handset partners' devices the second-place options in the market. At this point, it's the smart move.

The tents are the witness.
The tents in the parks, and the public spaces, and the greenways and riverwalks around the country are the witness being born that the Occupy movement adding "Wall Street" as a general descriptive of what's going on around the country seems now unreasonably limiting has passed into a new, and rather more permanent place in our politics. (So do the poll numbers, which have stayed relatively strong, given the concerted attack on the movement by the various hirelings and harpies of the money power in this country, and despite the fact that, like all movements, and always stipulating the usefulness to the format of the odd agent provocateur, Occupy has attracted its shares of mindless, counter-productive jackholes, about whom more anon.)
The tents are the witness. As long as they stay, the movement moves.
Which is only part of the reason why I'd recommend that the Occupy people stay away from activities like Thursday's action at Michele Bachmann's speech in South Carolina. In the most pragmatic sense, things like that are useless. They give Bachmann a chance to wax nobly on behalf of everyone's right to free speech, while changing no minds in the hall because there are no minds to change. (Least of all Bachmann's, which you couldn't change with mind-expanding drugs and the cast of The Manchurian Candidate brought out of retirement.) Heckling Michele Bachmann is a pointless waste of breath.
Moreover, the optics are terrible. Part of the reason the Tea Party Movement is as generally unpopular as it has become is that people got sick of seeing every town-hall meeting turned into a geriatric production of West Side Story. And before anyone makes the argument about the 2010 midterms, let's remember that the Tea Party had large-scale corporate logistical power behind it, as well as the unblinking support of one entire television "news" channel, both of which were enough to intimidate "serious" journalists into giving the Tea Party the benefit of vastly unearned doubts. The Occupy movement has none of that. In fact, all that power and influence is pretty much arrayed against it at this point. That makes all the difference. Continuing to interrupt the banal little ceremonies of the 2012 election process is futile and cannot end well.
There is a lot to be said for silent witness. The presence of the mothers of the disappeared in the Plaza del Mayo in Buenos Aires was a mute statement of undeniable power. The most important part of any protest is simply being there, in the right place and in the face of what you're protesting. The tents in Zuccotti Park are the witness of the movement. The people in them should remember the power that witness brings.
What I said about the Occupy movement at the beginning still goes: At the very least, they're yelling at the right buildings. They've chosen the correct targets, powerful though those targets are. Michele Bachmann is unworthy of the movement's attention. So, for that matter, is the 2012 election. The opposition is more permanent that transitory politics.

Feb 24, 2011As with many similarly off-the-cuff projects, The Babies aren't as good as its parent bands. But that doesn't diminish the irony that these two backward-glancing musicians have wound up-perhaps by accident-making an album that inches toward timelessness.
Feb 24, 2011While the record may just seem like a pleasant diversion for two friends glad to have a chance to hang out and make music, it turns out to be fun for everyone else as well.
Feb 24, 2011This is a solid half-hour of garage-y indie rock that is usually catchy, occasionally great, and pretty much always competent.

At this point in time, DJ has served his suspension, is still a Bronco, is still and above average player, will play well for us with significant reps, and the off the field stuff is done with and doesn't matter at all.
that crap may have gotten him a place on Mikeys team but their is a new sheriff in town in fact there are two.. Elway and Manning, Elway just does not put up with this crap, he is a proud old Bronco and knows we do not have to have morons on the team..
be prepared for no DJ next year.. unless he become a model citizen, takes a HUGE hit in salary and they find another spot for him to play because as it stands right now he is not beating existing players out of a starting spot.. He just is not good enough despite your love affair with him..

Hands on: Samsung Gear VR review
Updated Samsung tackles virtual reality with a little help from Oculus.

Updated Samsung tackles virtual reality with a little help from Oculus.
UPDATED Oculus showed off its latest Rift prototype - dubbed Crescent Bay - at its first ever virtual reality conference, Oculus Connect 2014.
Mini Review Depending on what you play, SteelSeries's Elite Prism gaming headset could be a fine, colorful addition to your audio arsenal.
Mini Review If you're low on cash, you can't go wrong picking up the Sound Blaster Inferno gaming headset. Warning: not for audiophiles.
E3 2014 It's still a few months away from production, but Nick Pino thinks the Elite 800 will be an ear-rattlingly awesome headset.
For both sight and sound, the SteelSeries H Wireless is one of the best gaming headsets
Plantronics latest RIG headphones are affordable and almost completely living room ready.
The PS Camera works as advertised, but there are other factors to consider when decided whether it's worth it.
How new Kinect improves gameplay, video chats and overall interaction.
Turtle Beach designed its Ear Force XP Seven Headset for the pro circuit, but anyone would enjoy donning these versatile headphones.
CES 2013 PDP added headphones to their line-up. And gamers will be the ones who will find them the most appealing, but they can be used by all.
UPDATED Gameloft's titles are fun, but the virtual on-screen controls aren't for everyone. Some of us prefer real controllers.
The Sony Pulse Wireless Headset: Elite Edition is great for PS3 owners. Multiplatform gamers are better served by more versatile products like the Astro A50.
The Astro A50 is ready to play with every device in your home theater. Does its bass boom big enough for its $300 price?
Exclusively for the Xbox 360, lose the mic cables and Bluetooth dongles for a 5.8GHz wireless chat headset from Mad Catz and Tritton. It's premium level stereo power at a premium level price point.
Sporting some of the best bass we've heard in a gaming headset, incredible audio quality, and 7.1-channel surround, Razer's Tiamat 7.1 is a great audio addition to your PC gaming setup.
For £15 you can get this collection of six accessories to protect your PS Vita and keep it safe from bangs and scratches
Fancy some Ambi-light style lights for your gaming nights? No, neither do we
The TwistDock is, put simply, a stand and controller charging port for your PlayStation 3. It's circular and twists around so you can reach the controllers, which sit hidden behind your PS3. It's designed to look good, feel premium, and keep things tidy.
It's surprising to think that the Wii has been on sale for nearly four years, and we're only now seeing true competition from Nintendo's rivals. Of course, considering the half-hearted motion controls of the Sixaxis, it's probably wise for Sony to have been cooking PlayStation Move slowly since its introduction 15 months ago.
How badly do you want a six-speed gearstick?

build it people will buy it 1000 hp will be great....
Hennessey, stop it.
Not impressed. How about do something different besides adding horsepower? Quick paddle shifting dual clutch transmission?
Def going to need more scoops for that...
100 HP is already too much.
Most cars only NEED about 50 HP to comfortably cruise at 70 MPH on the highway.
Anything more than 50 HP is just excessive.
I love this concept of taking a seriously fast car which most of its owners cant even drive and give it an extra 550 hp. That way when said owner does wreck (probably showing off) he will most certainly die.
They'll need it once they find out what Ford has got in the works for 2015.
If I were Hennessy I would concentrate on developing an advanced AWD system for GM performance vehicles. That is a more useful use of money. If he solved that problem, then, he could put all that power down, and perhaps get bought by GM
....for the man that truly feels the need to overcompensate for SERIOUS shortcomings.
Why stop there? I demand 2000hp!
@Sunset Rider You're not exactly a car enthusiast are you? 50hp? Come on man.
Hey everyone look; its my new 50hp Corvette! LOL!
Hey, just because you drive your lawn tractor to work doesnt mean everybody does!
@Sunset Rider 50 HP, tell me your kidding. Unless we re-structure the whole U.S. freeway system 50 HP will get you killed. Have you ever merged in a car with only 100 HP, it can be a dicey proposition.
I have driven 50HP cars, and they can barely achieve 70MPH let alone be comfortable at that speed. A larger car could probably not even make it to 70. Sure, we could live with a 50HP car, but then again I could live with a 13 inch T.V., or on one cup of starbucks a day, but who would want to? Now 1000HP........I will say that is excessive.
i found most guys never drive them, the performance shop i worked at built a 1971 chevelle for a guy twin turboed 540 big block, he had my boss drive him around the block he then scared the crap outta the guy. THen my boss had to drive the 1500 hp car to his house (the guy repeatedly ignored my bosses warnings of you do not want the biggest camshaft on the market for this car, and now never drives it because he is to afraid of his own car. ) but yes these cars never get driven once they gt 1000 hp they are just rich guys grown up hot wheels cars, but then again if you had the cash a 1000 hp corvette sure sounds badass
@redbloodedxy lemme guess an ECOBOOST Shelby GT500 with no brakes and/or handling???!?!??!!?
Ford's been playing catch up with the corvette since it came out (except 1955,1956 and 1957 thunderbird) and the GT40). The mustang is a brick compaired to a sleek corvette and slow, heck, even the camaro as bloated as that is gives the mustang a run for it's money.
@Mchicha That's the problem with Hennessey, he can't accomplish something so complex. What many people miss is that any backwoods mechanic can strap a turbo or supercharger onto an engine and gain popularity. It takes a true engineer to change the performance dynamic of a vehicle, something John Hennessey is not.
don't you dare make the vette awd if you think you saw complaining on vette forums over the fact there are no longer round tail lights in a car, imagine the hate mai lyou would recieve for making the corvette awd. It would probably crash the entrire worldwide web. just saying yo can change many things about the vette but never ever ever will they make it awd or atleast i hope not, because that is the day th corvette truly dies. WHen you can no longer leave a giant 2 wheel peel with atleast 10 inches of rubber on the ground I will no longer want one, and I believe the corvette market will not buy an awd corvette. Leave that to everyone else and and have the vette zr1 beat all the awd paddle shifting dual clutch autos., with itsw rwd and 7 speed standard, so I can hear everyone cry that a rwd stick vette beat the 458 italia ferrari with a stick and only its rear whels propelling the vehicle. heres are equation for you : rwd +stick + OVER450 HP = the most fun you can have with your clothes on. fwd +any amount of horsepower = lame because its no fun to drive. (in my opinion anyways) awd + paddle shifter + hp = a car a monkey could drive fast
@autobug2 LOL just like the 5 ft 5 inch dude that hops out of his Ford F250
@Toycrusher Why stop there? go for a cool 7k hp.
@+SOUL+ @Sunset Rider The truth of the matter is, it may be your OPINION that cars should have more than 50 HP. You would LIKE a car with more than 50 HP. But the FACT is, cars really don't NEED more than 50 HP. Anything more than that is excessive.
@+SOUL+ @Sunset Rider When I was 16, I drove around in a car that had 110 HP, so it was close enough. 0-60 took about 12 seconds. And you know what? I never had an issue merging onto the highway. I also never had any issues overtaking other cars on the highway. 110 HP was more than enough to get me around town, and it was more than enough to merge onto the highway and pass other cars when needed.
@Sunset Rider
just go and post your nonsense on autoblog green.
@renata25 Do the math. http://ecomodder.com/forum/tool-aero-rolling-resistance.php At 70 MPH, my car only uses 17.78 HP to stay at that speed. I'm 100% positive you're exaggerating when you say you've driven 50 HP cars that cannot comfortably achieve 70 MPH. Unless you're referencing cars built in the 1930's that had the aerodynamic properties of a brick.
@fxcamaro Indeed. As a car nut its in your nature to be almost sexually attracted to anything with that much power. Attach 1000 hp to anything and its pretty awesome. 1000 hp blender, tractor, boat, chainsaw, ect. The thought is very appealing.
you ignorant SOB. go research the hennessey vemon gt and tell me he could not accomplish somthing of that magnitude all he did with the vemon was create a veyron destroyer out of a lotus elise chassis. can any backwoods mechanic do that ??????? he put the rear clip out of a ford gt in the back mated to a smallblock chevrolet ls series engine with twin turboes and created the greatest sports car of all time out of one of the girliest sports cars of all time. do some research before shooting your mouth off about what people can or cant do. Oh and Mchicha btw the vemon is rear wheel drive and spanks your awd quad turboed veyron that has a dohc w16, and it can't out run a twin turboed small block chevrolet. RWD IS STILL KING :)
Porsche 911 has AWD variants. You can still go buy your tire
pealing Corvette, but the thing is, AWD performance is here to stay, Even
Mercedes AMG caved and made an AWD E63. With power levels quickly approaching
600 BHP, there is absolutely no way Cadillac and Chevrolet can ignore AWD performance
and stay relevant.
Sometimes you have to ignore royal fanbois and move on. Look
at what Fanbois got saab. Death.
@Jesiah @Toycrusher why stop there? I demand wings and the ability to act as a submarine. Only to a depth of 10K ft of course, lets not be ridiculous to assume it can go deeper
...said the twelve year old with the runny nose....
@Mchicha It's not nonsense, it's pure facts. Truth is stranger than fiction at times.
As long as Team Corvette at GM continues to consult the people that actually buy the car, they had better not add AWD. Corvette is not 911 and they will loose a tremendous amount loyal buyers.

According to Automobile Magazine, Audi has reportedly given the production 'thumbs up' to its Roadjet concept shown at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The vehicle, however, will most likely only be sold in the European market, and not in the U.S.
Specific reasons were not given as to why American consumers won't be privy to the production version of the Roadjet, except that it apparently doesn't fit American "tastes". Instead the Q5, which has been described as taller and more "rugged" than the Roadjet, is the more candidate for the next vehicle Audi offers in the U.S. market.

Celtic have agreed a fee with Schalke 04 for their Finnish forward Teemu Pukki.
Neil Lennon confirmed a deal has been struck with the Bundesliga side for the player, who is now free to discuss personal terms with the Scottish champions.
"We have agreed a fee for Pukki but haven't agreed personal terms," the manager said after his side booked their place in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
"I think the carrot of the Champions League might be a bigger draw for a lot of players. It puts us in an excellent position."
Despite playing in the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds for Schalke 04, Pukki would be eligible to play for Celtic in the group stage of the competition.
The Celtic manager also confirmed the club were close to securing the signature of Israeli international midfielder Nir Biton, with the player having arrived in Glasgow ahead of the win against Shakhter Karagandy.
"Nir Biton is work permit permitting. But they [he and Pukki] are going to have to play well to get into that team."

Sonnets to Orpheus
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreSonnets to Orpheus is Rainer Maria Rilke's first and only sonnet sequence. It is an undisputed masterpiece by one of the greatest modern poets, translated here by a master of translation, David Young.
Rilke revived and transformed the traditional sonnet sequence in the Sonnets. Instead of centering on love for a particular person, as has many other sonneteers, he wrote an extended love poem to the world, celebrating such diverse things as mirrors, dogs, fruit, breathing, and childhood. Many of the sonnets are addressed to two recurrent figures: the god Orpheus (prototype of the poet) and a young dancer, whose death is treated elegiacally.
These ecstatic and meditative lyric poems are a kind of manual on how to approach the world – how to understand and love it. David Young's is the first most sensitive of the translations of this work, superior to other translations in sound and sense. He captures Rilke's simple, concrete, and colloquial language, writing with a precision close to the original. less

John Cho Talks SELFIE, Giggles Leprosy, Social Media, Balancing with SLEEPY HOLLOW, STAR TREK 3, and More
by Christina Radish Posted 53 days ago
The ABC comedy series Selfie follows social media superstar Eliza Dooley (Karen Gillan), who realizes that even though she has over 250,000 followers, being friended is not the same as having actual friends. As a result, she enlists co-worker and marketing guru, Henry (John Cho), to rebrand her self-obsessed reputation and teach her how to connect with people in the real world.
During this exclusive interview with Collider, actor John Cho talked about what attracted him to Selfie, how much he's enjoyed being involved with Sleepy Hollow, trying to balance both shows, having always been drawn to comedy, how much he enjoys working with Karen Gillan, the correlation between fatigue and breaking into the giggles on set, and how he feels about the world of social media. He also talked about what he'd like to see for Sulu in Star Trek 3. Check out what he had to say after the jump.

Help building jQuery quiz please
Hi there. A project of mine is to build a jQuery quiz. Trouble is im new to jQuery and only have 1 week to build it in! I've been reading up on show/hide data etc and can get basic functions to work but not a fully working quiz. Therefore was wondering if anyone has a quiz previously built or would be able to help me build one?
Im trying to get my quiz to look like the following......
The functionality of the quiz needs to be as follows. There are questions listed with a checkbox of "Y" and "N" representing Yes and No. A user clicks in either box and once all questions have been complete they click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page. Once the submit button is click, the quiz will find which of the questions the user selected "N" to in the checkbox and then below the submit button will show the question and the answer to it. The "Y" button doesnt need to do anything.
Thanks in advance,

Sounds like a waste of time taking a class if you're not willing to learn anything from it.
Stop making things so hard on yourself.

|New International Version (NIV)
|9 In the twentieth year of Israel's King Jeroboam, Asa became king of Judah;
|9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king of Judah,
|10 he reigned 41 years in Jerusalem. His grandmother's name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

|11 Asa did what was right in the Lord's eyes, as his ancestor David had done.
|11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.
|12 He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all of the idols that his fathers had made.
|12 He expelled the male shrine prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the idols his fathers had made.
|13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah from being queen mother because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. Asa chopped down her obscene image and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
|13 He even deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive Asherah pole. Asa cut the pole down and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
|14 The high places were not taken away; but Asa's heart was completely with the Lord his entire life.
|14 Although he did not remove the high places, Asa's heart was fully committed to the LORD all his life.
|15 He brought his father's consecrated gifts and his own consecrated gifts into the Lord's temple: silver, gold, and utensils.
|15 He brought into the temple of the LORD the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.
|16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns.

|18 So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the Lord's temple and the treasuries of the royal palace and put it into the hands of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon son of Hezion king of Aram who lived in Damascus, saying,
|18 Asa then took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the LORD's temple and of his own palace. He entrusted it to his officials and sent them to Ben-Hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus.
|19 "There is a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me."
|19 "Let there be a treaty between me and you," he said, "as there was between my father and your father. See, I am sending you a gift of silver and gold. Now break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so he will withdraw from me."
|20 Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel. He attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, all Chinneroth, and the whole land of Naphtali.
|20 Ben-Hadad agreed with King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the towns of Israel. He conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maacah and all Kinnereth in addition to Naphtali.
|21 When Baasha heard [about it], he quit building Ramah and stayed in Tirzah.
|21 When Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.
|22 Then King Asa gave a command to everyone without exception in Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had built it with. Then King Asa built Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah with them.
|22 Then King Asa issued an order to all Judah--no one was exempt--and they carried away from Ramah the stones and timber Baasha had been using there. With them King Asa built up Geba in Benjamin, and also Mizpah.
|23 The rest of all the events of Asa's [reign], along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are written about in the Historical Record of Judah's Kings. But in his old age he developed a disease in his feet.
|23 As for all the other events of Asa's reign, all his achievements, all he did and the cities he built, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? In his old age, however, his feet became diseased.
|24 Then Asa rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his forefather David. His son Jehoshaphat became king in his place.
|24 Then Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And Jehoshaphat his son succeeded him as king.

Since eSmart Tax's beginnings in 2006, we've made great
strides to change the way you prepare your taxes online. Today, we released a shiny, sleek, and
clean new system to enhance your tax experience. We've listened to your feedback, comments,
and questions and developed our brand new interface around your needs. The new eSmart Tax is our way of bridging the
gap between boring tax requirements and the features that you value in a
web-based application.
As we approach the twilight of another year, it is most appropriate to consider increasing charitable donations to your favorite non-profit, church, or synagogue.You can use your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) to make a charitable contribution. Contact the custodian who holds your IRA/401K monies (generally this will be a bank, or brokerage) and ask them to do the paperwork on this. You'll need to get the Employer's Identification Number (EIN) from the charity and give that to your banker or broker. If this transaction is done by transferring from the institution to the church/non-profit, then you will not have to declare this money as income for 2013. Remember, you must not take the money out yourself and "touch" it - then, it would be income to you! (By the way, this tax benefit is slated to expire on 12/31/2013, so don't count on it continuing for 2014!)
Due to the Affordable Care Act, there are some 20 new taxes that may affect you. Therefore, if you are a high-earner (over $200K if single or head of household or qualifying widow, $250K if married filing jointly, and $125K if married filing separately), you may owe additional Medicare taxes on your 2013 income. The additional taxes would be .9% on your wages and self-employment income that exceeds the above limits.
Now that the last of the tree ornaments have been tucked away into the garage, it's time to think about ways to get back on track with your expenses. Experiencing some after-holiday relief not only means taking a break from sweets and other baked goods. It may mean a slight makeover of your budget and lifestyle choices. While it may take some time to get back into more conscientious spending and enjoy your after holiday relief, it can be a smoother transition into the new year with some helpful tips:
While the holidays are time for family and good cheer, they also often are a time for over indulgence and poor spending. The new year is a time to wipe the slate clean and rededicate yourself to better spending habits. This New Year's Eve, make the resolution to make these simple changes to increase savings accounts and cut back on non-essentials.
8 Financial money-saving tips to watch out for.
Afraid the IRS is going to come addressed as a cute little kid and scream "This is no trick or treat. This is an IRS audit!" at your doorstep? Don't be. If
you filed with eSmart Tax, you can use our complimentary CPA Audit Assistance service to chat with a
CPA about your situation.
This week in tax news: Government reopens, Role of Medicare in the debate, consequences of the budget deal and more...

Bobby Flay - Mongolian Pork Chop
Aired on 02/12/2012
Episode: Wine Country Weekend
Famous Mongolian pork chops.
The wine list includes selections from prominent Napa vintners like Hess and Nickel & Nickel, as well as bottles from the American Northwest and around the world.
At least 25% of the restaurant's produce comes from the onsite organic gardens.
Corkage fee is $15 per bottle, but will be waived for diners who purchase at least a half-bottle from the restaurant's list.
Great burgers and beers in Napa Valley. -Mary Schmidt Amons, Real Housewives of DC
Ask for Mo at the bar- she's a Napa pro!
Everything we had was really good. The quail was very, very good and the pork chop (one of their specialties) is the best I have had... EVER!
i can't stop thinking about the jalapeno cheddar corn sticks with honey butter. TDF!
Try a pile of thinly-sliced, lightly-breaded onion rings with house-made ketchup...
Cannot go here and not get the Mongolian pork chop. Wild flower cocktail and warm goat cheese/garlic/sundried tomato starter make the perfect meal.
Try the Ribeye steak. It's awesome.
Go for a hunger steak! It's absolutely amazing!
Love this restaurant! Best pork chop ever and local favorite. Try the SEA-FOG Sauvignon Blanc!
Corn sticks are mmmmm....

Cabot Norit Activated Carbon Wins Contracts For Activated Carbon Injection Systems
Cabot Corporation (NYSE: CBT) announces that Cabot Norit Activated Carbon has been awarded contracts to provide Activated Carbon Injection (ACI) systems to two utility customers in the U.S. The contracts will result in over $6 million in combined revenue for the company and will allow the utilities to meet stringent regulations for mercury emissions.
When coal is burned to produce electricity, any mercury contained in the coal is emitted into a flue gas and may be subsequently released into the air. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that coal-fired power plants are the largest man-made source of mercury pollution, accounting for 50 percent of mercury air emissions in the United States. The toxicity and persistence of mercury in emissions from coal-fired power plants have caused many state environmental agencies to establish regulatory controls on flue gas emissions. In addition, the EPA has promulgated federal mercury emission levels in the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS) that will take effect April 2015. Activated carbon has proven to be an effective component of emission control systems to reduce mercury emissions. Today, there are more than 60 gigawatts of coal-fired generation that rely on activated carbon to meet current regulations globally. Cabot Norit Activated Carbon is recognized as the world's technology leader in mercury removal from flue gas.
The ACI systems consist of seven bulk silos planned for delivery in 2014. Cabot Norit Activated Carbon ACI systems pneumatically inject precise quantities of powdered activated carbon (PAC) from a storage silo into the flue gas ductwork of a coal-fired power plant. The PAC adsorbs the vaporized mercury from the flue gas and is then collected with the fly ash in the plant's particulate collection device.
Activated Carbon Injection has been recognized as the most effective technology for reducing mercury emissions from coal-fired boiler flue gases. Cabot's ACI systems are designed to ensure a consistent particulate distribution, which makes the Cabot systems low maintenance and cost effective. A utility using a combination of Cabot's ACI system and Cabot's advanced DARCO® Hg-LH Extra PAC can reduce mercury emissions by more than 90 percent."These contracts strengthen Cabot's position as a strategic partner to coal-fired power plant owners and operators," said Bart Kalkstein, vice president and general manager, Global Emission Control Technologies, Cabot Purification Solutions. "As the company with the most installed ACI systems in the coal-fired utility market, Cabot continues to lead the way in providing proven solutions to the utility industry."

My journey into yoga was inspired from the longing for beautiful sensation and wonderful feeling of being in connection with myself whenever dancing. I knew from my very first yoga class in Spain many years back that this is what I wanted and needed. I didn't know back then how deep this journey would take me or the fact that I had just opened the door to what I feel is my path. Yoga has really changed my life in so many ways and it is still my daily companion to connect with myself, with love and with truth.
It is my wish to spread love and light through yoga and that we learn how to unite body mind spirit to our essence, LOVE. I aspire to share the jewels of yoga, meditation and body work for the well being of all so that we can reunite in joy, harmony, love and peace for living a more joyful and content life.
I am here to share my passion of yoga and guide you towards an inner journey and towards the true teacher within yourself. I teach not only classical Hatha yoga but also other styles such as Vinyasa flow, Yinyoga, Restorative, Pregnancy yoga and elemental yoga therapy. I also teach pranayama, breathing practices and different ways of meditation. I also do body work such as Reiki, chakra-healing balance and cranio-sacral sessions.
I am located in Goa, India during the winter and in Sweden during the summer
Look forward to meet you on this beautiful path of life!
Love and light!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I'm sure the location is under narco surveillance by now. May be a nice

/Reva's original question is below. I have chatted with MX1 tonight on
this, he has said that he will try to provide more. Here is the run
down of our conversation.
/First of all, I don't know too much about this and nearly everything
I know is highly classified. I am not sure why this is emerging in the
press now. This is not necessarily new so timing is questionable. It
smells to me like a political trap for Calderon. The issue is
obviously very sensitive to Mexicans.
First a few things on the logistics of this. This is not EPIC in
Mexico. It is far more smaller and it is also less significant than
the media is making it seem (again, it is being blown out of
proportion for political reasons). It is not a SCIF. We kept it secret
because of security however, obviously, and also because it is
naturally a sensitive issue for Mexicans, particularly when you're
talking intelligence cooperation. However, under normal circumstances
it wouldn't necessarily be so top secret.
It is not an operational center. People don't "run" ops out of there,
although they may sometimes. The way I would explain it is that the
center is in charge of coordinating a few very specific aspects of the
Merida Initiative.
The foreign ministry has always been in favor of this, I can assure
you of that. However, the army has been opposed to the center. (The
way they retaliated against the foreign ministry because of our
support for the center is that they sent us the biggest drunks as
military attaches for Embassies around the world).
All that said, the center is not brand new. We are very concerned
about its safety, however, so we are surprised that it has gotten out
in the news. I will think about how to formulate more.
On an unrelated note, I can report that the security cooperation here
in Arizona sucks compared to New Mexico and Texas. The immigration
issue is permeating down to law enforcement at certain levels -- not
Phoenix -- and I have been unable to create the same kind of
relationships as I had in the El Paso sector.

Can we get some more info on what this Mexico-US Binational Intel
Office is all about? This seems like a significant step-up in US
involvement. What are the 9 US intel agencies that are operating
in MX City? How big is this thing? What's the balance between US
and MX in terms of assets deployed to this unit and what are the
rules for intel sharing? Where is this causing friction within
MX, particularly amongst the armed forces? Does this involve any
US special forces activity?
This is beginning to sound a lot more like what US did with
Colombia and the creation of Centra Spike.

"is simply unilateral" and its name is "a deceitful cover-up,"

PHILADELPHIA Ś While new (and old) Buffalo head coach Ted Nolan has been charged with the seemingly impossible mission of turning the Sabres around from being the worst team in the NHL to at least a playoff pretender, heÆs become even more of an inspiration to a group of people in western Canada that time can tend to forget.
Nolan, who has native-Canadian roots, is active with his Ted Nolan Foundation, which claims as its mission a commitment ōto the healing process to renew and revitalize the mind, body and spirit of our young people, and ... help train a new cadre of Aboriginal leaders today.ö
So to a silent minority of indigenous peoples, Nolan is not merely a hockey coach. But along with Craig Berube, Nolan was one of two native-Canadian head coaches facing each other in an NHL game Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center. It was a first for the league.
ōIt does, I guess,ö Berube said when asked if that had significance for him. ōBut I think itÆs more for Teddy. He grew up in more of an environment like that than I did, I think. ItÆs special, for sure.ö
This month is turning out to be very special for Nolan, whose promising coaching career was almost put on the skids 16 years ago by then-Buffalo GM Darcy Regier. Nolan was brought back to Buffalo Nov. 13 by newly hired director of hockey operations Pat LaFontaine. Regier and coach Ron Rolston were fired, and LaFontaine has yet to hire a general manager.
The Sabres, who were on track for one of their worst seasons, beat Toronto 3-1 in NolanÆs debut. They lost two games after that to drop to 5-17-1, the leagueÆs worst record as they entered play at the WFC.
ōItÆs tough halfway through,ö Nolan said. ōGuys are already set in their ways and doing certain things. WeÆre patient with them, weÆre doing (drills) day by day and hopefully within a short period of time weÆll see a change.ö
Nolan can hope that this game against the Flyers, another team that changed coaches after the season began, represents a solid step along what he knows will be a long road. To begin with, however, the game was important to him for another reason. He pointed out how significant this game pitting two native-Canadian head coaches would be to his people ōback home.ö
ōItÆs huge (there),ö Nolan said. ōI was pretty happy when I heard Craig Berube was the head coach here. ItÆs really big in First Nation territory back home in Canada. Word spreads quickly ... IÆm sure thereÆs going to be an extra crowd of people watching this game and itÆs good for the next generation of young kids to see that also; we do have a lot of talented kids out there who just need a break.ö
Ray Emery made just his sixth start of the season Thursday. That led to the usual morning practice questioning of Steve Mason, who says his growing sense of maturity and confidence enable him to handle the occasional game off quite well.
ōAll part of the growing up process of things and how to handle things,ö said Mason, who is 6-7-2 with a 2.12 goals-against average and sterling .932 save percentage. ōTonight is a night off for me and I just had to utilize the practice time. ... You always want to be playing but at the same time 82 games is a lot of games throughout the season. You need to learn to take your rest as well.ö
One player who welcomes NolanÆs presence in Buffalo is former Flyer Ville Leino, who had just two assists entering the game, but after being switched from wing to center by Nolan has begun to show some life. Leino didnÆt muster as much as a shot on goal in seven of the first eight games he played this season. He missed some three weeks with an injury, but there was more to his problems than that.
ōThings have certainly changed in Buffalo since heÆs gotten here,ö Leino said. ōItÆs more old school hockey. ItÆs more hockey instead of video on the systems and all that. You still have to play hockey. You still have to make hockey plays. So I think itÆs a change for the good.
ōSince heÆs been here IÆve been playing better. So it doesnÆt matter where I play. IÆm trying to play good.ö
Nolan notes importance of meeting with Berube
PHILADELPHIA Ś While new (and old) Buffalo head coach Ted Nolan has been charged with the seemingly impossible mission of turning the Sabres around from being the worst team in the NHL to at least a playoff pretender, heÆs become even more of an inspiration to a group of people in western Canada that time can tend to forget.
