Sleeps | 7 |
Bedrooms | 3 |
Bathrooms | 2 |
Property type | cottage |
Minimum Stay | 3 nights |
This 3/2 cottage has recently been updated and will accommodate two families. The unique Crab Trap is a sleeping area for a young child. This is a great location with a stunning view of Gasparilla Sound and it's majestic sunrises. A private dock out the front door provides a perfect place to catch local fish and spy on the fascinating underwater life. Turning on the dock lights at night provides a glimpse into what could be called a snook aquarium. While being located on the bay, there is a leisure block and a half stroll to the beach. Swimming, strolling, collecting shells and sun bathing are a few of the relaxing activities available once you reach the white sandy beaches.
Upon returning to the cottage from your day at the beach, enjoy rinsing off in the refreshing outdoor shower. Then soak in the views of the dolphin jumping in the bay while relaxing on the screened in porch and realize just how blessed you are.
The full sized kitchen is ready for use with a refridgerator, oven/stove, dishwasher, coffee pot and microwave. It is also stocked with dishes and other necessary utensils.
Linens and towels are supplied for your convenience.
There is a quaint chapel located in the center part of the island, in a section called the Preserve, on the main road. Services are held every Sunday at 9:30 during the summer months and at 10:30 during the winter. These are non-denominational services offered for a time of worship and fellowship for all who visit Little Gasparilla Island.
My wife and I (both 5th generation Floridians) have been coming here since 1975. We just love the area and the unique nature of Little Gasparilla Island. Our daughter grew up here on family vacations and now our twin grandaughters are discovering all the wonders of LGI.
Paris Dickey purchased this cottage in 2012
If you love to fish or desire a great view of Gasparilla Sound, this is the place. The fishing is fantastic on the private dock. At night, you can turn on the light and see what looks like your own snook aquarium. The dock also makes it easy to unload you luggage and then kick back and relax.
The long private dock in front of this cottage has made the neighbors jealous for years.
Fantastic views of Gasparilla Sound and breathtaking sunrises each morning are seen from the screened-in front porch.
Miles of sandy beaches are a short walk away.
Little Gasparilla Island (LGI) is a bridgeless & roadless barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico, between Tampa and Naples. You leave your car at one of the marinas and take a 10-15 minute boat ride to the private dock and cottage. The island is approximately 7 miles long and approximately 1/4-1/2 mile wide. LGI is the perfect place to wind down and relax. You can take leisurely strolls on the beach, or explore the interior of the island along the many sandy paths. An option is to rent a golf cart, grab a cooler and just take your Sunday drive anytime you want. What about that book you have been wanting to read or going fishing either at the end of the dock or on a boat (either yours or a rental). Guides are also available in the area.

Does anyone know if a hood/vent is required in a kitchen with a two burner gas stove cook top? This is going in a kosher kitchen that will have a 5 burner gas cooktop on one side with a ventilation hood; the opposite side of the kitchen will have just a two burner Verona cooktop and I'm wondering if we need to have a vent to meet California building code...??? |

SilverStone Air Penetrator AP121 First Look
When SilverStone showcased its SUGO SG07 in CES 2010, the casing was equipped with a rather "standard" 180mm fan. After extensive revision, the company is proud to show us something that looks totally different from its predecessors: the Air Penetrator.
Complete with balloon floating trick inside.
Let's cut the chase, and see what SilverStone has provided us with:
Air Penetrator AP121: A breakthrough computer fan with air channeling technology
Traditional computer fans are made to expel air, so for years, airflow was the most important rating that determines cooling efficiency as most fans are used as exhausts. SilverStone created Air Penetrator fan specifically designed for intake fan applications, where airflow rating is not a priority. The design goal for Air Penetrator is to focus airflow into a column that can be channeled through various obstacles inside the modern computer case for more efficient cooling performance. Compared with traditional fans, where airflow spreads outward and further looses focus with resistance added (e.g. filters, fan guards, etc…), Air Penetrator fan's unique blade and grille designs can create enough pressure to push air as far as 1 meter away with minimal fan speed and noise. This unmatched efficiency makes Air Penetrator ideal not only as intake case fan, but also perfect for high density heatsinks and radiators.
Special Features
- Industry leading air channeling fan.
- Wide fan blades for reducing air resistance.
- Standard 120mm frame for maximum compatibility with CPU coolers.
- Integrated air channeling grille double as fan guard to reduce overall size.
- Low power consumption.
- The Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) for high reliability.
Model No. | SST-AP121 |
Color | Transparent blue UV fan blades, black frame |
Bearing | Fluid dynamic bearing |
Rated voltage | 12V DC |
Start voltage | 7V DC |
Rated Current | Max 0.33A (Actual) 0.09A |
Rated power | Max 3.96W (Actual)1.08W |
Speed | 1500 rpm |
Effective airflow range | 1 Meter |
Diameter | 120mm |
Air speed | 2.5m/s (measured at fan exit) |
Airflow | 35.36CFM |
Static pressure | 1.71mmH2O |
Noise | 22.4 dB(A) |
Noise reduction | Includes two speed reduction cables |
Dimension | 120 x 120 x 25mm |
Lifetime | 50000 hours |
One look, and you know that we have something clearly different here with us.
Next page, you'd see the balloon floating trick that the Air Penetrator is capable of.

Hi-Tech Studio: Strobe Packs
These workhorse capacitors are the mainstays of studio still photography
In DPP, we've reported on the trend to smaller and lighter-weight lighting gear that works well for professionals who are constantly having to be on the move. DSLRs can shoot clean images at high ISOs, and portable flashes and monolights have more power than ever. Also, the array of modifiers being made for smaller lighting gear has increased considerably. All of this has reduced the reliability on big, heavy power packs for many shoots. There are some situations, however, when you simply need the inherent output and control of a power pack and its high-output light heads.
Photoflex OctoDome |
Broncolor Senso A4
Broncolor is one of the most respected producers of lighting equipment. Its Senso A4 was introduced at Photokina 2010, and it has become a popular model, thanks to its combination of price and performance. Putting out 2400 watt-seconds of power, the Senso A4 gives fast recycle times of 0.4 to 2.8 seconds, and its three outlets can be set for symmetrical or asymmetrical output. A built-in radio receiver is a helpful feature, and you can adjust the light in 1⁄10-stop increments. Color temperature stays consistent across the full power range. Contact: www.broncolor.com.
Bowens QUADX 3000 |
Using an advanced and efficient charging system, the Bowens QUADX 3000 gives you fast recharge times and 3000 watt-seconds of output. The unit is adjustable in 1⁄10-stop increments, with a total adjustable range of 7.6 stops. The QUADX generates consistent and accurate 5,800K color temperature, +/-2%. There are four outlets that can be used asymmetrically or symmetrically, and once you have your ratios set, you can dial the power up or down while maintaining those ratios. Contact: www.bowenusa.com.
Speedotron 2403cx LV |
With a reputation for building packs that can withstand abuse, Speedotron Black Line units have been popular with pros for decades. The Speedotron 2403cx LV gives you 2400 watt-seconds of power and six outlets for your heads. The 2403cx LV has what Speedotron calls true output rationing and variable dial-down power control. When you utilize these features in combination with the six outlets, there are 53 possible settings, and because power can be dialed up or down in 1⁄10-stop increments, you actually have 530 total power settings. Recycle time is 2 seconds. Contact: www.speedotron.com.
Profoto Pro-8a Air; Elinchrom Digital RX |
Profoto refers to its power packs as flash generators, and the company enjoys a well-earned, loyal, global following due to its reputation for making reliable, accurate and powerful products. The Profoto Pro-8a 2400 Air is the company's flagship generator. It has a 10-stop power range, 1⁄10-stop increment power settings, 1⁄50-stop precision across all power settings and color stability of +/-40K over the entire power range. Recycle time is very fast, from 0.05 to 0.9 seconds. Profoto touts its generators as being particularly well suited for digital capture due to the precision of flash duration, color temperature and precision output. Contact: www.profoto.com.
Elinchrom Digital RX 2400
The Digital RX 2400 comes from Swiss manufacturer Elinchrom. The unit has a unique computer interface to allow you to control the settings via your Mac or Windows computer. Recycle time is 1.9 seconds, and the Digital RX 2400 gives you up to 6 stops of adjustment. There are two outlets, and in addition to the optical slave, there's a built-in EL-Skyport Radio Slave to trigger the pack when it's out of line of sight from the camera or other flash units.

Apple posts updated 10.7.4, Server, Xcode and 10.8 builds
updated 09:47 pm EDT, Tue May 1, 2012
Mountain Lion adds 'do not disturb' feature
Earlier today, Apple posted a new developer build of OS X Lion 10.7.4 for both Client and Server editions, coming just one week after the previous update. In addition, the company has updated the last Developer Preview 3 of OS X 10.8, Mountain Lion, and also posted Developer Preview 4 of Xcode 4.4 for developers. The Mountain Lion update is notable for a new "Do Not Disturb" mode in the built-in Notifications Center, which may portend a similar feature in a future iOS version.
The newest update for the as-yet-unreleased 10.7.4 is build number 11E53, just one build higher than last week's 11E52, and again indicating no known errors. The shrinking time frame between recent releases, along with the decreasing gap between build numbers suggests that the update will be formally released in the near future.
Developers testing 10.7.4 are again asked to focus testing on graphics, iCal, Mail, Time Machine and printing for the client version. Server testing should focus on Calendar and Contacts Server, Profile Manager, ServerAdmin DNS, WebDAV Sharing, and the Web Server and Server App applications. The Delta update for 10.7.4 client comes in at 716.91MB, while the combo version is 1.42GB in size. The Server version is slightly larger, with the Delta at 202.59MB and the combo version at 1.51GB.
The update to Mountain Lion DP3, now updated to DP3.1, does not list specific changes apart from the noticeable "Do Not Disturb" toggle, which can be accessed from the Notifications icon on the menubar and is represented by by a crescent moon. The Notifications feature itself is inherited from iOS 5, but the "Do Not Disturb" mode is not present there, suggesting that a future version of iOS 5 or later might add the feature. Other features brought over from iOS include AirPlay Mirroring of the Mac's output (to, for example, an HDTV), Game Center, Reminders and a Notes feature.

Five Ten Quantum Climbing Shoe
beats all
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I have solution, hornet, black wings, G2 predator for aggressive shoes, and this one is by far my favorite. Snug fit, i wear size 8.5 in these, and 9 street shoes, super tight, but surprisingly very comfortable, the only set back is the heel doesn't fit me too well and i have an air pocket, but no 5.10 heels ever fit me well.
Rubber is supper soft and sensitive, so soft that i feel comfortable climbing slab in these (you read that right, slab).
Love the color. definitely works best for over hanging routes, but i wear these for any climb, even multi-pitches. This is the perfect shoes for me, it's the tits.

Could anyone comment on the sizing compared...
Could anyone comment on the sizing compared to the anasazi vvs, moccasym, dragons, or sportiva solutions?
My solutions were sized a 38.5, and my dragons were an 8.5. According to La Sportiva's chart, that's the exact conversion, so they size about the same. When I got them each initially, the Solutions fit tighter than the dragons, but they stretched out more and both ended up fitting exactly the same. I could even wear them both without lacing them up. However, I went back to LS because I felt the heel fit me a lot better--the Dragon heel was a little less fitted and therefore a little loose. In my experience with Five Ten (also had Moccasyms) they fit the same for the type of shoe you want--which is to say that my 8.5 Dragons were nice and tight but my 8.5 Moccasyms were very comfortable. I've heard from friends that the Moccasyms and the Anasazis are extremely similar in fit. Hope that helps!

- Fit: Runs small
Outstanding shoes that fit great, feel a little wider in the toe area than the Hornets. Had to go 1.5 increase in shoe size over my normal Anasazi 11.5 climbing shoes. New they fit slightly snug over the second toe, but do relax slightly and fit great after wearing. I find this upsizing true with other downturn concave toed shoes as was with the Hornets. I agree with Dem's & Roy's size comments also. Not thrilled with the purple color but function wins out over looks. My Hornets were eye candy and functional. Top line on the Quantums, they are Killer shoes!
this might seem unusually specific, but...
this might seem unusually specific, but does the rubber on the quantum cover the middle toe knuckle? i currently wear the anasazi lv (sized very tight), and my middle toe knuckle screams on hard toe hooks because there's just a thin layer of cowdura between it and the rock. it's hard to tell from the pictures and i also have very limited experience with the fit of downturned shoes. any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Arthur Debowski
It does cover the middle knuckles pretty well for toe hooks. The only gap in coverage is between the big toe and the next one. I pulled this photo off of the Five Ten site so hopefully it illustrates the area you are asking about.

Five Ten Quantum Climbing Shoe
Great shoe, just need to break them in.
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my second pair of shoes and first time trying a shoe with an aggressive downturn toe. At first I was not too impressed. Feet would slip under roofs, couldn't toe hook. But after breaking them in I love them. Super sticky, great edges, not the best for cracks but can still handle slabs despite the downturn toe. All reviews I've read said the synthetic uppers will not stretch out. When I got them they were so tight I could barely lace them up. But after a month of good climbing they did stretch out perfectly. I'm glad a didn't size up. My heels will pull out if I'm cranking on a heel hook. I've had them for 6 months and the toe is worn and peeling. But overall the rest of the rubber is still holding up great.
Xan Calonne
Way Cool!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These shoes kill! The only knock I can come up with (and this is for the real nitpickers) is that the heel has a little dead spot, no matter how tight you size them. The great thing is you do not have to size them too tight for performance. See the full review here: http://verticali-culture.blogspot.com/2011/06/five-ten-quantum-review.html
I cannot recommend these shoes strongly enough. For an American-made produce (if that matters to you) these are as good as it gets!
I've worn alot of shoes over the years, my favorite hands down was the Moccasym. I believe this is my new favorite shoe i will use as my go to shoe. Personally i am not a huge fan of the overly aggressive down-turned shoes but for lack of a better word i do like a "medium" aggressive shoe and i feel like the Quantum is just right. I ordered 1.5 sizes up from my street shoe(10.5 to a 12.0) and they were a perfect fit, a little snug and with just a hair of stretch they'll be perfect. I dont have the widest foot but i dont have a narrow foot either so i'd say for most people whos feet are just a little wider than normal 1.5 sizes up is a good start. these things are already comfortable and they arent broken in yet. Its aggressive enough to get on very small edges and on small slick sloped holds, but not overly aggressive that you cant smear properly or feel the urge to yank them off half way through a climb, you'd swear you had a huge foot hold underneath you on some of the shakiest holds.. these things seems to expand and contact every available centimeter. Overall everything seems real solid, the laces are strong and you can really cinch these puppies down without fear of busting through an eyelet. The inside is not extremely minimalist like some of the Sportiva models, its got what i'd call a thin layer of padding but its perfect, i can still feel EVERYTHING. When you get them you'll notice a pretty substantial down hook on the toe, that thing grabs like a monkey hand. After several climbs i was very impressed with this shoe, i'll be buying them until they discontinue them for sure. i want to say its an all-around shoe but that seems to take something away from how sweet these things are when doing anything technical, its an all-around shoe without the all-around shoe look/performance. so far its been dead on for bouldering and technical climbing. no cracks yet but its got the rubber on the toe for it, though, you might have to size them differently for all day crack climbing.. Oh, and these things look sick to boot. get these!
great shoe
Out of the box and straight onto the rock. After only a couple of short overhang climbs felt comfy enough for long sessions. Went 1.5 sizes up from my green Verdes and fit just right, could even go another .5 size up. Rubber sticky as, and holds to the tiniest edge. Of course not so good for the vertical walls or slabs but will get you thru those sections to the next steep part without hammering yer toes too much.
When are you going to get in more sizes?...
When are you going to get in more sizes? Like say a 7.5

Stock questions get answered much quicker by e-mail. Shoot them an e-mail with your question, but since it's the weekend, you might not get an answer until Monday.
Very precise "low-volume" shoe
This is a great "low-volume" lace up. For such an aggressive shoe it would be nice to see a Velcro version as you'll most likely size these babies to tackle your hardest routes... Still highly recommended till the perfect shoe is born :)
the anasazi arrowhead is the velcro equivalent to the quantum
Sam Malamis
I'm looking into these. Anyone know how...
I'm looking into these. Anyone know how they compare to the Verdes? It sounds like they're better for bouldering.
Angus Bohanon
They're definitely more downturned than the Verdes, and they'll have a more agressive fit as well. Much better for bouldering, not as good for long days on big walls.
As Angus said, these shoes are very downturned. They are a slim, sleek, and low profile ankle shoes. I went the same size as my street shoe and found the break in time to be very painful. These shoes were meant to crush hard overhung routes/boulders.
I have both the verdes and the quantums and LOVE both. the quantums are more downturned and are a much more low volume shoe. I use the quantums for hard sport climbing and the verdes for multipitch routes.
how about smearing with those ? is it...
how about smearing with those ? is it really an all-around shoe , but a bit downturned ? what i really like for example , with sportivas , is that , even with downturned models ( solution) you can be sure that you use everything from smears to edges really well if you need to. But with 5.10 downturned models ( teams ) you feel like a cripple when it comes to smearing or a more vertical terrain ... so ? is it
THAT good for rulling over anything it may comes in your way ? thank you .
Aaron Nash
I've had no problem getting great smears with these. The downturn isn't as drastic as other shoes and allows you to get some great surface contact while smearing. Definitely a much different shoe when compared to something like a Team.
I own both Teams and Quantums and my teams rarely see any more use now.
Buffalo D
The stars speak for themselves
Being a boulder junkie myself, i have loved every aspect of this shoe, heel hooks up great, edging is spot on same with the toeing action and of course amazing rubber. i have narrow feet with my left one being slightly larger so I ended up downsizing a full size from my street shoe which made them a bit painful at first on the left foot, after a few sessions they fit great.
Size to U.S. street shoe
crazy downturned shoe with sensitive rubber. did not climb more than one day with them because they were too small. if your wondering what size to get, it would be good to start with your U.S. street shoe size. the synthetic upper does not stretch.
Test Proven!
Just got back from a weekend in Rumbling Bald in NC and after 3 days of bouldering morning and night, I can vouch for the performance and endurance of these shoes. I switched to these shoes from 2 pairs of Evolv Optimus Primes and while the Primes were much more comfortable for my wide feet, as they were A) Only a half size down from my street shoe, and B) Designed to be a little bit wider, but a little less aggressive.
The 5.10's are a full size down from my street shoe of 9.5 wide. I have a caveman foot and it makes shoe shopping, and even moreso, rock climbing shoe shopping very difficult. The Quantums stretch out a ton on the sides and even on the heel area to allow my fat foot foot to squeeze in, albeit, with a good bit of initial struggling. They do require a bit of a break in period to get the maximum potential from the rubber, again, another difference from the Evolv's Trax rubber, which was good out of the box, but had an extremely short lifespan in the toe area. I primarily boulder indoors so the walls aren't nearly as aggressive as real rock; the rapid decay of rubber was very disappointing to me. The Quantums Stealth rubber however has help up fantastically through many indoor boulder sessions, to break in the rubber and to help send some long term projects, and also through my weekend of spirited climbing outdoors and very sharp granite.
The Quantums were GREAT at finding and sticking to tiny foot jibs that my old shoes were guarunteed to pop off of. Some examples of small crystal foot problems, done this weekend are, Don't Run- V8, Rotator Cuff- V5, Chris Klein's Corner- V5. and Torque Master- V6. They are very downturned and very aggressive and take a bit of adjusting to get used to. But once you figure out how to press in with the toes the shoes won't let you down.
They were also very good at holding some pretty intense heels. They held well on Brackish Water- V8, a V8 sit start technical problem with I forgot the name of in the cluster area, and the double heel hook beta used to send Patio Roof-V8.
I can't say enough good things about these shoes. Yes they hurt like crap for someone with wide feet. Yes the heel does cut into the ankle a little as they have the low heel design of the older Anasazis. Yes they do have a tough break in period. But you know they're worth that every time when I finally get them on and know that I can trust them to get the job done on my projects. You sold me 5.10, great job Quantum; I'm looking forward to a future with more sends.
The Pow Hog
im glad they can climb V8
Aaron Nash
I don't give 5 stars to gear often unless it's really deserving, but the 5.10 Quantum deserves the 5/5.
Based on the popular 5.10 Anasazi, the Quantum adds a downturned profile, low volume heel cup and the amazingly sticky and tactile Stealth Mystique to it's previous popular design. These shoes are freaking weapons. I've climbed on them for a few weeks now and I have really nothing but praise for them. The aggressive turn of the shoe make tackling overhanging and technical routes a breeze, and they edge like a fiend on slab and tiny little features. They even jam in cracks relatively well. I haven't put these through a maneuver yet where I was left wanting more out of a shoe.
The Mystique rubber is some of the stickiest and best tactile transmitting rubber I've ever felt (I prefer it over the Onyx rubber as to which one is "better") so I always can feel what my feet are doing on the rock without having to guess.
Comfort-wise, I find that these are very easy to leave on for hours without having to take them off or even untie (your climbing partner will be happy if you're one of those knuckle draggers who takes your shoes off after every climb). For fit, I had to size up 1.5-2 from my street shoe and they are snug, but not painful (very important as these will not really stretch much at all). I have absurdly wide feet though, so you probably will be able to get away with less.
If i had to say something negative about the shoe, and I'm really nit picking here, is that the heel cup rubs on the back of my achilles and starts to get annoying after a while. This happens with most of the other 5.10s I've had though and gets better after a few weeks of climbing in them. It's just the way my foot is shaped. I put a small piece of climbing tape over the lip of the heel and it ceases to be a problem.
These are my new go-to shoe for general cragging and gym climbing. Wicked precise and sticky, the quantums have really made an impression on me of what a good shoe can do for your climbing; dare I say...give it a "quantum leap?" ;) A perfect shoe for those looking for a more technical shoe to supplement their first basic pair, or the seasoned climber who's been sending projects for years.
Try them if your looking for a more aggressive all-rounder, you won't be disappointed.
Brandon Shea
How do these fit compared to the Teams? I previously bought Teams in a 10 1/2 and sent them back because they were way too tight. However, I've also tried on the Anasazis in a 10 1/2 and felt that I could easily downsize to a 10 in those. Suggestions for fitting the Quantum? I'm really tired of sending shoes back and losing money on shipping.

Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, also known as Will Rogers Shrine or 5EP2175, is the tomb which holds the ashes of Spencer Penrose (1865–1939), a philanthropist who contributed many of the most prominent landmarks in Colorado Springs, including the neighboring Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the Broadmoor Hotel. Completed by Penrose in 1937, it takes the form of an 80-foot observation tower on the side of Cheyenne Mountain. It overlooks the Broadmoor Hotel, and from the tower one can see the entire Colorado Springs metropolitan area and Garden of the Gods.
Persuaded not to name the structure after himself, Penrose instead named it in honor of his friend, Will Rogers, the American humorist who died in a plane crash in Alaska in 1935, during construction of the tomb.
The shrine is open, weather permitting, every day of the year except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. The price of admission is included in the cost of tickets to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
Design of the shrine was commissioned by local architect Charles E. Thomas and construction included 5000 cubic yards of Cheyenne Mountain granite, quarried from a single stone, and is anchored 28 feet into solid rock. The shrine was built without using wood or nails, being secured with 200,000 pounds of steel, and construction included the use of approximately 30 wagon loads of cement. Five stories tall the elevation of the top deck, at 8,136 feet, is 1,336 above the zoo. In front of the shrine, in the 10-acre courtyard, is a bust of Will Rogers that was commissioned to Paris artist Jo Davidson.
The first floor is called the "Historical Room" and contains murals by New Mexico artist Randall Davey that depicts early development of the Pikes Peak region. The murals were restored in 1993 by Eric Bransby and includes:
- Native American scenes
- Zebulon Pikes travels
- Gold discoveries in Cripple Creek
- Activities of the founder of Colorado Springs General William Palmer
The next three floors contain a photographic history of Will Rogers from his early childhood days in Oklahoma through his time on stage, screen and radio. The last mural is of Will and Wiley Post taken just prior to the fatal crash.
The lower floor contains the chapel, pews and an altar, and 15th and 16th century European art objects. The remains of Spencer and Julie Penrose are interred in the chapel along with two long time friends and colleagues, Larry Leonard and Horace Devereaux. The shrine has a set of Westminster chimes that can be heard every quarter hour throughout the valley and was dedicated on September 6, 1937. [2]

local newspaper here in Zug says Diaz figures its his best shot to get on the roster full-time. In addition, there is already Hiller and Bärtschi, who play with him on the national team and Bob Hartley, the Calgary Coach used to coach rival Zug team Zurich.
I am bummed he didn't try out with the Wings but i get the reasoning. Personally, I hope it works out for him

Meet the Doctors at Pearly Whites
Dr. Michael Skolnick & Dr. Brooke Skolnick
Dr. Michael Skolnick and Dr. Brooke Skolnick met each other while attending Dental School at UMDNJ in Newark (now Rutgers School of Dental Medicine). After graduating, Dr. Michael Skolnick went on to NYU to complete his Orthodontic Residency while Dr. Brooke Skolnick pursued her Pediatric Dental Residency at the Staten Island Hospital and she has hospital privileges at St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, NJ.
They are both very passionate about educating their community on the importance of maintaining good oral health. In fact, Dr. Brooke Skolnick has reached as far as Ecuador to help under-served children, and serves as a faculty member at Newark Beth Israel. They are thrilled to have settled back in New Jersey, with their daughter Sophia, son Jonah Harrison and their French bull-dog Fiona. Dr. Michael Skolnick is especially excited to be opening up in Berkeley Heights, a community where he spent much of his childhood. When these two are not in the office, you can usually find them outside! Other than spending time with their children, they both enjoy tennis, bike-riding, and going to the beach.

New 'round these parts? How 'bout
you click or tap right here and I'll
give ya the lowdown.
What is a hobby game? Well, it's not like your average board game, where you crack open the box and there's everything you need. A hobby game is a game that you play, but also build yourself. Your game board can be as big or as small as you want. You can leave your figures unpainted, or paint them up yourself. You can build cool scenery and obstacles for your men to hide behind. There are so many options!
The Rules: Click here to buy the full color rulebook, or download the basic rules in PDF format on our downloads page.
Enemies: Blackwater Gulch is a game for 2 or more players.
A Gang: You and your opponents should have at least 5 models each to start a gang. Check out our Infamous Gangs, grab a starter set, build your figures and you're ready to go!
Measuring Device: Distances such as how far a model can move or shoot are measured in inches. You should have some sort of measuring device like a small tape measure.
Dice: The game uses six-sided dice, and you will only need a handful of them.
Game Board: The game board can be any surface you wish to play on. Any table will do for small games. The board represents a section of forest, desert, small village, town square, or anything else you can imagine. You will add scenery to the board to make it appear more lifelike and give your models obstacles and cover to hide behind.
We will soon be adding a lot of resources to help you build great game boards, or show you how to paint your figures, and videos on how to play. In the meantime, head on over to our official forums on DakkaDakka.com. You can meet lots of other players there, check out their gangs, or chat with other fans about the game.
Keep checking back! This Game Guide is under heavy construction, we'll be adding lots of great stuff. And, if you think you have something you'd like to share, feel free to post it on the forums!

UNBF Science Concourse Renovations
The Student Services Office is teaming up with your Student Union Science Representatives to submit two proposals in January for funding for "renovations and upgrades" to the Science Concourse area near the Science Library. The concourse area in the past two years has become a hub for Science students whether it is studying, eating lunch, hanging out with friends, or just reading, this has become a regular place to be. We would like this community space to be another place we call home. That being said we are aware it needs so updating and renovations. We would like the to request funding for some of the following improvements: 1) New Furniture (study, lunch, lounge) 2) New Paint throughout 3) Additional Lighting 4) New Flooring 5) Accessibility for all Students We would like to include in our proposal signatures from Science students showing their support. But we need you! If you would like to see these changes made, please sign this petition together we can make a difference to our Science Community. This petition will be open until January 4th, 2012. Thank you, Angela Regier Student Services Coordinator Denise & Adam Science Student Union Reps 2011-2010

Discovered in the decrepit, dark, dingy depths of Reddit and alliteration, was the (not) surprising intent of Rockstar to try to squeeze every last penny out of GTA 5 owners. Yes, microtransactions.
This user discovered an XML file reading "Cash Cards" in the store section of the GTA V menu. The file holds details about the Cash Cards, numbering four, which range from $100,000 to $1,250,000.
The description of the cards reads:
"Cash is king in this town. Solve your money problems and help get what you want across Los Santos and Blaine County with the purchase of cash packs for Grand Theft Auto Online. All purchased cash is automatically deposited into your character's bank account. Spend wisely, cash therapy is fleeting."
Another Reddit user pointed out that the Cash Cards could merely have been created for testing or as another means altogether. Rockstar, of course, has not mentioned anything regarding microtransactions, but it wouldn't be the first major game release to embrace the mobile trend, as Call of Duty Black Ops II did.
GTA Online will release for free as an update on October 1.

Um, If his mom is reading this, he says he applied at that "one place" but they're currently not hiring. Now he's telling me to tell her that he'll, uh, be back with the car by six...
like it or lump it, microtransactions are the future of gaming. they've found an effective way to keep you paying for the game after you bought it. i don't see the trend going away any time soon.

Suspended in the night amid colors more calm and serene that the daytime can know
Safe in her own secret bubble she cannot be disturbed by her intelligence, or her morals, or her responsibilites, or any of the physical shortcomings reality has assigned to her
She is free at last, free to let her unbridled self fall through her personal universe
She falls, but she falls without fear, she falls with comfort as if falling is a wonderful journey
Images float in and out of her fall, but they are images that rapidly come and go, random images that one moment are the face of a handsome man, the next a cave man, then into the feathers of a red swan then into the face of a distant relative she has only seen in pictures, then into a hundred other things as they float past, each image obscured by the field of butterflies they must pass through, and none lasts long enough to cause her any great happiness or dreadful fear…images…the countless images of life we are not sure we see…they are all there as she dreams.


text: I read that yogourt is ok for lowcarb diets because of the way they calculate carbs (they take everything thats not a carb and subtract it and whats ever left is counted as carbs) but in yogourt the bacteria uses the carbs to grow so the actual carb count is less than what is listed on the package. Has anyone else heard this? Think it's true? Any one else eat yogourt on atkins? I bought some organic yogourt it has milk ingr. and bacterial culture. Non of the gellatine and other thing in regular yogourt.

There is no word in the English language I despise more than "relapse."
Because by the time I use it, I have suffered months of agonizing depression that involves the typical symptoms you check off at a psychiatrist's office: overwhelming guilt, fantasizing about death, no energy, lots of tears, trouble sleeping, eating too much (or too little), trouble concentrating, difficulty doing just about anything but obsessing about how bad you feel and crying enough to keep Kleenex in business.
Here are a few strategies I use when I start to relapse… when my symptoms don't abate for weeks on end and when I'm scared I will never again wake up excited for a new day.

I too suffer from prolonged depression so I appreciate you thoughts and strategies, and mantras. Getting help early is key because friends and family don't know what's involved, and what they want and what's best for you may not be the same. Keep on writing. Best wishes to you and to all in the struggle with depression. JG
Great strategies for fighting depression. I know very well how difficult it is. Each little thing that you can do to get through the day and not fall further into the depression helps. Keep fighting!! That's all we can do.

When some people shop at the Swedish flat pack furniture megastore they see more than the rest of us. They see potential. Objects can take on other lives, salad bowls can be speaker cases, table tops become guitars, and trunks morph into end table/litter boxes. Maybe doing what ever the hell you want to do with the stuff is easier than following the instructions.
"I think there is a movement around looking at all the products that are available — this global stream of stuff — and realizing you can tinker with them and rebuild them,†the NY times quoted a man who made speakers from plastic red salad bowls and has, in the past, made audio devices from things like coffee cans. His odd creations "live in the zone of the hack."

Key Genre Films 1980s
How things have changed. In the forties, for instance, one would find it difficult to name twenty good genre films of the decade but, since the late seventies, Hollywood has learned that their baby-booming audiences could not only handle strong horror and science fiction concepts, they craved them. Filmmakers everywhere went into overdrive. Like television today, there wasn't a production house around that didn't have at least one genre project in the making. The first … Continue reading

So while I can't deny the quality or appeal of films like Reefer Madness (1938), Citizen Kane (1941), Glen Or Glenda (1953), Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes (1978), or The Toxic Avenger (1984), I can only count … Continue reading

This selection of commencement speeches from legendary author Kurt Vonnegut will prove a thoroughly comforting companion for recent graduates as they move out into the so-called real world and attempt to determine their own place within that often overwhelming realm.
Vonnegut's advice, dispensed at countless graduation ceremonies over the course of his life, is by turns moving and comical, indelibly stamped with his unique outlook on the world, and voice actors Kevin T. Collins and Scott Brick take great pains to capture his distinctive authorial tone in their performance. Vonnegut is sometimes sardonic, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes straightforward, but he is always empathetic, a fact well-reflected in Collins and Brick's thoughtful narration of this inspiring work.
Master storyteller and satirist Kurt Vonnegut was one of the most in-demand commencement speakers of his time. For each occasion, Vonnegut's words were unfailingly unique, insightful, and witty, and they stayed with audience members long after graduation.
As edited by Dan Wakefield, this book reads like a narrative in the unique voice that made Vonnegut a hero to readers and listeners of all ages. At times hilarious, razor-sharp, freewheeling, and deeply serious, these reflections are ideal for anyone undergoing what Vonnegut would call their "long-delayed puberty ceremony" - marking the passage from student to full-time adult.
This book makes the perfect gift for high school or college graduates - or for parents and grandparents who remember Vonnegut fondly and want to connect with him in a new context.

"This IS nice"
The man! I love his wisdom, his simple way of telling truths we all need to hear. He is funny, also when he talks about serious topics
Vonnegut himself
I wrote a blog post after listening to it, about following your dreams. I felt inspired to talk about my knowledge in psychology, and thought I must learn to say important things like he does. I will listen to it again, to use some of the questions he asks, with clients
This was an interesting set of graduation speeches. The introduction about Vonnegut was a lot more engaging. The speeches become a little repetitive in theme and message.
Actually, this did make me want to read Kurt Vonnegut, only because I am curious as to what the fuss is all about. I am currently reading 'Slaughter House 5', his most famous novella.
The performance was fine, not outstanding but it was easy to listen to!
An interesting set of speeches that were engaging enough to make me want to read one of his books.
"An Eternal Blessing From A Non-Believer"
Fine narration of various speeches given at college graduations by humanist sci-fi/fantasy writer Kurt Vonnegut. Listen to this brave heart of a man, an atheist, who's hero is Jesus Christ. On dark and hopeless days give this a listen.
This is a collection of graduation speeches given by a member of the greatest generation to the baby boom generation. While I never saw one of his speeches, I now understand why he was so popular among our generation....he was a rebel and a bit of a satirist. The latter makes him a fun read/listen. For example, Vonnegut derides semicolons as an indicator of a college education. Have I used a semicolon in this review?
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Amazon Surrenders To Macmillan On eBook Pricing
Re:Ugh. (437 comments)
Why is not everything "worth" publishing, these days? It was "worth" it for the individual to write. With cheap digital publishing/self published material, it seeems it can be. It still may not be "worh" reading, but who cares? Just like the majority of web pages out there, all of which are 'published'.
I see this on POD (Print on Demand) commercials for companies who produce the POD machines, but while I agree that anyone can produce any type of dribble they desire, once you remove the separation of published and vanity press, you now force people to like me to wade through the various new "reviewers" to figure out which ones I might believe. A publisher has a financial stake in the books they publish, while a reviewer does not. Why do trust a publisher over simple reviews? I've seen self published books on amazon, I've actually read the initial (and probably final) version of a book that looks legit, and even has glowing reviews (from personal friends and family) that would make it seem a good book. Other than it was self published by the author's own publishing company, that publishes nothing but their own crud...but it has a five star review on amazon. That isn't a publisher, but self created vanity press in disguise.
I have a couple hundred (maybe more) books on my bookshelves from ace and tor and some of the other large scifi/fantasy publishers, which speak a great deal about the quality of books they publish.
Does everyone who chooses to throw a hundred thousand words or so in a document deserve to call themselves an author? Maybe, but it would be like everyone who can copy a hello world app and compile it be called a programmer.
I don't subscribe to the concept that everything someone does deserves to be praised. Things that are done well and have value should get praise. Otherwise, what is the point of doing anything at all? Having participated and finished two novels for National writers novel month...I could say I'm an author. Being that I'd be ashamed to have anyone read that raw garbage, I believe they can wait until they get rewritten in a form that is worth reading first. Then, maybe I might be worthy of such a title. Actually, I'll feel the title is justified the day one of the publishers, that I trust to publish good books, accepts and publishes one of my own. Then it won't be me applying that title, but someone else who found my work good enough to invest in.

According to Better Homes and Gardens choosing mostly neutral colors in a boy's bedroom will offer endless possibilities in the decorating department. Varying shades of off white and blue are great choices. Having various places to store their items is also suggested to keep things neat and organized.
A popular theme for boys is a sports theme. Since sports is a favorable choice for most, decorating the bedroom of your little man will be a fun project. It is also nice to include his choices in selecting the items for his new bedroom. He will feel great to be able to take part in some of the decision making.
Bedding in a variety of sports related themes, as well as specific teams are available for purchase. Finding them in a variety of colors should not be difficult. You may choose to go with your child's favorite team if he has one, which will play a part in the color of the room since there will be team colors to consider.
When decorating the room you can also select a rug to match the décor. Sports theme rugs are widely available in many styles and colors. There are even team rugs that you can purchase to match the bedding. If your child loves football then sports theme rugs featuring the NFL would be a great addition and enhance the décor of the bedroom. When buying sports theme rugs be sure to purchase something that is durable and of good quality. Most people do not want to spend too much on a rug, as kids tend to be a little harsh on things.
Adding sports theme curtains along with a variety of sports theme accessories will create a room that your little man will love to go to sleep in, show to his friends and be proud of.

Our main product - HYDRA - is a query engine, based on an uprecedentedly powerful open Semantic Web service platform and a scalable proprietary architecture, algorithms and data structures. It can be used both as a powerful data federation engine and for self-service querying of data by non-technical users. Although the technology can be used in many domains, we are currently targeting Bioinformatics and Clinical Informatics as primary applications.
Data federation: query many sources as a single database
HYDRA can be used to query multiple distributed sources of data as a single database. Moreover, the data sources may be completely heterogeneous and include regular relational DB, online DBs, nomenclatures, ontologies, unstructured data such as scientific publication, Web services and various analytical programs. Practically any data that can be processed programmatically may be integrated with other resources. This unprecedented power of integration is achieved by wrapping the data sources as Web services of a special kind, and orchestrating them in the engine to answer queries.
Anyone can be a data scientist!
HYDRA may be also useful in scenarios when only a few or even just one database has to be queried, because it supports semantic querying and is accessible to non-technical users, such as biomedical researchers or physicians. For example, if one has an SQL database, most non-technical users won't be able to run ad hoc queries over it without help from programmers or DBAs, because this requires knowledge of SQL and details of the specific data schema. Semantic queries, in contrast, are formulated in terms of the subject domain and thus are much more accessible to non-technical users. Practically speaking, a database host can wrap his database as a number of SADI services, thus enabling its non-technical users to run multiple self-service ad hoc queries. HYDRA comes with an intelligent graphical user interface that facilitates such self-service query formulation through the use of keywords, similar to how they are used with Web search engines like Google, and simple graphical editing.
Published HYDRA case studies
Prior SADI case studies conducted with HYDRA's predecessor - SHARE - include:
News and announcements
- Nov 2014. IPSNP CEO presented HYDRA and GUI at Cambridge Semantic Web Monthly Meetup, MIT Stata Centre, Cambridge MA (slides).
- June 2014. IPSNP has successfully completed a $158K IRAP-funded project and prototyped an intelligent self-service query composition GUI for HYDRA (some screenshots can be seen in these Clinical Intelligence pitch slides).
- Aug 30, 2013. HYDRA development team reaches another milestone: alpha version of the query engine is finalised.
- Alexandre Riazanov, IPSNP's CTO, presented our technology at DILS'13 in Montreal on July 11: HYDRA - a SPARQL engine for data federation and self-service querying in the Life Sciences [slides].

Online Catalogue | Ball Stretchers | 30mm WMC ® Ball Weights
WMC ® stands for 'World's Most Comfortable' Ultra comfort design! (Formerly 'Wedding Rings' ©) Smooth, heavy 2 piece, highly polished type 304 stainless steel split ring for ball stretching. Use it as a wedding ring or as a supremely comfortable ball weight, it comes in two parts to ensure easy on fitting. It fastens with a fully recessed bolt to further ensure maximum comfort. Our bolts are stainless steel for greater longevity, and allen key type (allen key supplied). Because it has a uniquely large radius, this ball weight is the most comfortable around as it spreads the weight over a greater area of the scrotum. Try it out when you want to wear heavier weights for a long time. Use it at the bottom, with heavier weights on top - magic! You absolutely should always have at least one of these in your ball stretching wardrobe.Important note; These weights are circular, not elliptical like many ball weights. They're more expensive because it's more work, with the extra machining, but it gives you a more predictable size, and therefore less likelihood of slipping off!

College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita hosted its first TEDx event last Thursday, giving speakers in various areas of technology, business and education a chance to share their knowledge the topic of connectivity — specifically how connected communities can increase the wellbeing of individuals, and as a result, improve global welfare. TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to ideas worth spreading. It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences – the TED Conference on the West Coast each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer – TED includes the award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.

Rich Harrington: All right Rob! So you and I both know the dangers of soft focus. You see this all the time as professional colorist, people get pretty disappointed, right? Robbie Carman: Yeah. And as much as I love these cameras, they are responsible not 100%. Rich Harrington: You should love them a lot. They make lots of work for you. Robbie Carman: This is true! They are responsible for the proliferation of soft focus. Now of course there is more to do with soft focus than just monitoring and we'll talk about loupes here in a second, things like shallow depth-of-field and the lenses and that kind of stuff. But I am seeing a lot more out of focus footage.
Again, we'll say this probably for the fourth or fifth time is that everything looks good on the back of the camera LCD, and because when you're not being critical about the focus, guess what? Little differences. That ever so slight softness tends to creep into the image. Rich Harrington: Well, what I like to recommend is make sure that you set the loupe up first. Now when you attach this to the camera, what's going to happen here is you're going to snap it on. And depending upon the camera, you might have to adjust where this actually hits. So I take it up, hit Menu button, so I could actually see the menus, and then I'm going to adjust the actual diopter here, so the menus are tack sharp.
And what most people don't realize is that that diopter is designed for people with vision problems. Now Rob, you wear glasses. Robbie Carman: I do. Rich Harrington: Do you rely on the diopter at all? Robbie Carman: I do. It's one of those things where sometimes depending upon my outside, hot and sweaty, I might take my glasses off because I actually can see close, I just can't see far all that well. Rich Harrington: Right. So to that point though, you could compensate for having your glasses off, you just focus this until the menus look in focus. Robbie Carman: Absolutely! And one of the things that you might find if you have really bad vision is that a lot of the manufacturers will sell sort of step-up plates on the actual back of the loupe, and what that does is it actually gets the loupe further away from the actual LCD screen, so the diopter is going to have even more of an effect, because it's further away from the actual LCD screen that you're trying to focus on.
Rich Harrington: And what you need to realize is the reason why I keep saying focus on the menus is that the menus theoretically should be tack sharp because they are computer-generated text and graphics. So you just set the diopter until you have proper focus, and then you could trust it. Now I've got this, it's got the eyepiece. When I put this up to my eye here, I'm getting a nice clear image. I'm able to block out things. All I'm looking at is the actual image itself. Now I'll typically close the other eye, so I'm not distracted. Although, I do know some people who try to shoot with both eyes open.
I find it a little hard. Robbie Carman: It is, but don't forget Rich, you also have one more thing there in camera that can aid you in focusing. Almost every single DSLR is going to let you zoom in to the actual sensor. So when you're looking through the camera, you can actually press the zoom button to get sort of a 1 pixel to 1 pixel view which is really critical when you're using a loupe or without a loupe to get proper focus. And I often do that with a loupe attached, so I'll zoom in to get maybe all the way into that 1:1 pixel ratio and then sort of adjust my focus, and then you can be really sure that your focus is tack sharp.
Rich Harrington: Yeah. What's happening there is it's not while you're recording, it's just when you're in that initial preview mode you're seeing it, so that's really useful. Now there are other ways of actually doing this. There are lots of manufacturers for loupes out there. In this particular case here, I've got sort of a periscope style loupe. When I take this up, same idea, it's going to behave very much like that Zacuto brand. But what's different about this one is that I can actually go ahead, and lift this up and flip it down, and what I'm getting here is the ability to look in the camera while shooting.
So essentially, I could be looking through a periscope type mirror configuration. And this allows me to cradle the camera, and actually get shots and use my body. And I find that this is really useful, because it lets me hold the camera in tight while still actually seeing my shot and telling what I'm doing. Robbie Carman: Absolutely! And that's nice for things like low angle shooting and that kind of stuff because with these traditional sort of loupes that are mounted right on the back that don't have the periscope option, you kind of have to be behind it to see through it. Rich Harrington: Yeah, so if you needed to get lower, you would change the height of your body obviously.
So lots of different options here. All of them are going to help you with that area of critical focus. The other area that's a problem you really can't fix and post is going to be that exposure problem, and when we'll come back, we'll take a look at that.
