Spring Skiing in the Wasatch Range
When most people are headed to the beach, radio producer Scott Carrier heads for the ski slopes near his home in Utah. Carrier explains that the combination of freezing and thawing in the late spring gives the mountain snow pack a special quality that makes for a unique skiing experience.

MADELEINE BRAND, Host:
On a May Day like this one, many of us think of heading to the beach, the lake, maybe a pool somewhere--but writer Scott Carrier thinks about mountains, snow, and skiing.
(Soundbite of music)
Mr. SCOTT CARRIER (Radio Producer, Writer): Sometimes I have nothing better to do than sit on my porch in Salt Lake City and watch how the mountains change shape with the light. The map fixes them at 11,000 feet above sea level, 15 miles away on a straight line. But I've seen them grow taller and shorter, creep up on the city after a snowstorm, and slink away in the summer's heat. I watch the mountains and wonder how long it would take me to get up there and which way I would come down and what it would be like. It all depends on the time of year, the time of day, and the weather.
If it's May, and 2:00 p.m., and my neighbor is mowing his grass in his shorts, and if in the evening the sky is clear and I wear a coat and hat to sit on my porch and drink beer, and if at night looking down on the city--the lights twinkle and move in a mirage--then I know I have to set my alarm for 5:00 a.m. to get up early and go spring skiing.
It takes an hour and a half to make coffee, eat some oatmeal, and drive up the canyon to the base of the mountain called Superior. It's southeast face is a white wave, 3,000 feet tall, a slope that gets progressively steeper and then curls over at the top in a cornice. At 6:30, the sun is hitting the top of the peak and the snow up there is red and warm, while everything under the shadow is blue and cold.
In winter, the snow in the Wasatch is light and dry powder, the best in the world. But in spring, the big flakes melt into small ice balls, and the snow pack becomes a consolidated sheet, five to 10 feet thick. This sheet freezes hard at night, and then in the day the surface melts to the consistency of a slurpee. So the trick in spring skiing is to get up high and be ready to ski down just as the surface is starting to melt. An inch or so of soft snow on top of a hard base is really fun, easy to hold your edge, and very fast. But there's a narrow window of time here. If you start down too early, you're skiing on ice. If you go too late, it's like skiing in mush and kind of dangerous, because it sometimes slides down the mountain in an avalanche.
(Soundbite of footfalls in snow)
I reach the ridge about 500 vertical feet from the top, and there are fresh coyote tracks following the crest line of snow toward the summit. I follow the tracks to the top and see that when he got there, he didn't even break stride, just kept going down the north ridge--no time for epiphanies. It's 9:30 and I look down on the valley and see a brown layer of smog over the city from morning rush-hour traffic. I look for my house, my neighborhood, but it's under the smudge.
I take my skies off my backpack and put them on my feet. I'd rather have wings, but skies will do. I take the top part carefully, like a raven checking out a picnic, then drop through a chute like a dive-bombing falcon, then traverse across the slope at high speeds like an albatross skimming over the ocean. The snow is soft and smooth and fast, just what I thought it would be. My timing is immaculate.
I'm at my truck by 9:55, and back home on my porch drinking coffee by 10:45--time to go to work. That is, if I had a job other than looking up at the mountains and watching how they change shape with the light.

US growth was revised slightly lower for the first three months of 2013. The economy expanded at an annualised rate of 2.4 per cent according to the latest data, compared to an earlier estimate of 2.5 per cent (Financial Times). Thursday's data also confirmed that government spending dropped sharply at the beginning of the year: the slump was revised to 4.9 per cent from 4.1 per cent (Reuters).
The Agnelli family plan to maintain their 30 per cent stake in Fiat as bankers examine options for financing a full merger of the company with Chrysler. A takeover of the 41.5 per cent of Chrysler which Fiat does not own could be financed with bank debt or a share issue, although a deal may have to wait for a ruling in a court dispute between Fiat and UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust, who own 16.4 per cent (Financial Times).
Neiman Marcus rejected a proposal by Saks for a KKR-financed merger. The complexity and proposed terms of the deal caused the overture to founder, although Neiman's owners TPG and Warburg Pincus have been seeking to sell or list the luxury retailer, and KKR has been considering taking a stake in Saks (Wall Street Journal).
Morgan Stanley signalled that it expects much lower revenue from its fixed-income unit in the future. The bank's president of institutional securities revealed a quarterly target of $1.5bn to $2.5bn from the unit, some way below its peak of $3.3bn in 2007. It generated $1.5bn in the first quarter, compared to between $3bn and $5bn for fixed-income operations at rivals Goldman and JPMorgan (Wall Street Journal).
Goldman attracted some 17,000 applicants to this year's 350 summer intern posts. The bank is also receiving about 50,000 to 70,000 applications for full-time jobs a year, said Gary Cohn, its president and chief operations officer (Financial Times).

This is not experimental it's just ugly, I don't like it when you can't really take a piece from the runway and work it. It would take a special kind of person to rock the crap out of those pieces.

Ranch breezeway
I have a 1960 ranch. We have a breezeway between the house and the garage. It is a narrow space and had louvered windows so it was seasonal. We have replaced the windows but are left with a space with a door to the garage, one to the kitchen, and one to the side door. The room also has 5 windows. What can I do with a narrow space with so many openings? This area is being used as a pass through, but I am trying to brainstorm a more functional use for this space. Any ideas?
Sounds like a great space for lots of plants. Is there room for a small reading area? Or, do you need a place to put hooks for coats, a spot for muddy boots, etc.? I would think in terms of what type of space you need and go from there.
I'm wondering how this breezeway is oriented -- does one side face the street and the other side the back yard? Do you have a garden in your back yard that the one side looks out to? You could put shades (bamboo?) on the street side for privacy, but leave the "room" open to the back yard/garden. If the space is wide/big enough, I'm thinking that plants and a small chair could make it a mini getaway space, i.e. for coffee in the morning.
That sounds like a great bonus space. Could you make it into a garden room? Some wicker furniture, iron plant stands and plants. It would be a great place for breakfast or dinner.
Okay the layout, on the left is a door to the garage in the center of the wall, in the back are 3 windows overlooking the back yard and the side of the garage, on the right side is a door to the kitchen in the center of the wall, on the front is a door to the front side steps and two windows. My husband believes the room is 12x12. It seems more long and narrow to me (maybe because of the doors on either end give it a bowling alley feel.)
Liz...you have a great size room to create a wonderful sitting area, reading, garden room. I'm an artist, would grab an area immediately to create...especially with all the windows.
Are the walls the outside of house and garage? You could adapt these to decor, depending upon your preference such as cottage, SW, etc. Since it is a traffic area...I'd paint the floor a pattern to match your style, depending upon the floor type. Or add brick pavers which I saw done in a house I was looking at. The brick warmed up from the window's sun for heat.
Wow, 12 x 12! That's a real room as far as I'm concerned. You can definitely have a small cafe table and two chairs, or a small comfy reading chair, an artists' nook, or garden room. I'm having a case of breezeway envy right now! Would love to have a little outdoors room like that.
Can we see any pics?
If you have kids, it sounds like it would make a great playroom - can keep an eye on them from the kitchen.
I like the idea of a garden room too - lots of plants, a wicker sofa you can relax on with a book.
If you really use it more as a hallway, you could put in built-in cupboards for storage (I always want more organized storage space!)
Also would make a great craft or sewing space.
Do have photos?
Liz - That's not a breezeway, it's more like a 3-season porch. I would have my wicker loveseat, chairs and coffe table in there, plus if room, my little bistro table and the 2 bistro chairs. Enjoy!!! A porch is a great way to have more room in the summer, especially if you live in a buggy area like I do. I think everyone here thought you were describing a 5x7 windowed hallway or something. 12x12 is an actual room.
Are you in Florida? I never heard of breezeways other than here. My dad's house had a breezeway with the jalousie windows on both sides, with a door to outside, door to garage and door into the main house. My dad literally LIVED in this room - had his comfy chair to watch TV and even a couch/bed. This was his room after my mom died. I love those rooms - many possibilities, and very cool in every way!
Gypsyrose, your Dad's room sounds just like mine. It had the jalousie windows but living in NH we wanted windows that would allow for year round use. We got a great deal on Harvey windows and put them in. We repainted the paneling in a yellow colorwash so it looks more cheerful, put down a carpet, and now with the layout I am unsure what to do.
My parents' house had a room something like this. It my father finished it off gradually over time. First, he installed full-length windows at the front which had formerly had a door with windows on both sides of it. On the back side, he installed a sliding glass door. He installed indoor/outdoor carpeting. It was furnished with patio furniture and had a wrought iron glass top dining table. It became the summer living room/ dining room. The bird cage also went out there in the summer.

Morrissey discharged from hospital after stage collapse
Morrissey was discharged from hospital today after collapsing on stage with breathing difficulties.
The 50-year-old former Smiths singer was performing at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon last night when the gig was cut short after a rendition of This Charming Man.
A spokeswoman for the hospital said: "Morrissey became unwell, and he was admitted overnight as a precautionary measure. He's been seen by the medical team, much improved and now discharged home."
Onlookers described seeing Morrissey "straining" to perform and slumping to his knees on stage. Two band members then rushed to his side and dragged him offstage.
Eyewitness Mark Taylor, 40, told the Sunday Telegraph: "The stage went dark and he was taken off the stage and then his band then all left the stage.
"There was a wait of about 25 minutes before one of the stage crew came on and said Morrissey had left the building, and that he was seriously ill.
"Everybody started booing, thinking 'here we go again'. He has a bit of a poor track record for cancelling his concerts."
Jillian Moody said the crowd did not realise initially how serious it was and expected the singer to return to the stage.
She told the BBC: "It was interesting because a lot of people around us had bought tickets for Morrissey concerts earlier in the year.
"He has cancelled numerous concerts so they just thought that, you know, he had gone off but would be returning.
"I didn't think he looked particularly well but then again, he's well known as a reclusive character so I sort of thought that was just the way he was when he was on stage.
"He kept putting his hand up to his mouth as if he felt sick or... perhaps he was trying to hide something, but he didn't look particularly comfortable."
Last night, a spokeswoman for the Great Western Ambulance Service said: "Just after 9pm we got a call to a 50-year-old man who was reported to be suffering from respiratory problems and was unconscious. We sent a paramedic in a double-crewed ambulance.
"When they arrived they found a conscious patient who was not feeling well at all. They made an initial assessment and took him to the Great Western Hospital for further assessment."

By FitMiss
2 Reviews-
Expiration Date:?Aug 2016
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.77 lbs (0.8 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I did not like this flavor as much, but had the same quality I expect from FitMiss. Love the Vanilla Chai shake. Have one every morning. Yum and I feel great all day long. I make another shake after work out and it helps great with my recovery! Order with iHerb so received my order on fast. Very impressed with iHerb.com! Purchase from them again!
Keeps me feeling full for hours which I like, the only thing I don't like is the taste. Doesn't taste very good at all :(

Publisher's Description
Now with a study guide for personal use or group discussion.
In this book on excellence Chuck Swindollâ·"America's foremost applicator of Scripture to daily life"â·boldly tackles the difficult problems of self-discipline, laziness, and our tendency to accept less of life than we deserve.
"Perhaps his best book . . . both a challenge to easy living and a blueprint for breaking out of patterns of mediocrity. . . . One of the most helpful aspects of this book is Swindoll's ability to distinguish between striving for excellence and the modern-day philosophies of success." â·Today's Christian Woman
"Living Above the Level of Mediocrity epitomizes what has lifted the author above the average. The book itself aims high and reaches its goal through keen thinking and hard work." â·Moody Monthly
"Swindoll combines interesting, insightful Bible exposition with the storyteller's ability to make an anecdote live. Throughout the book he weaves briefs about the eagle, a bird he holds up as an example of the pursuit of excellence. He writes devotionally, giving you constant food for thought." â·Eternity
Author Bio
Charles R. Swindoll has devoted his life to the accurate, practical teaching and application of Gods Word and His grace. A pastor at heart, Chuck has served as senior pastor to congregations in Texas, Massachusetts, and California. Since 1998, he has served as the founder and senior pastor-teacher of Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas.

The files are already on the USB drive... The flash drive is formatted NTFS ... I'm trying to get the files from the flash drive to my hard drive.. I'm using an Asus K53E Laptop ... All these files were on this computer while I was on Windows 7 ... but moved to Windows 8 and I can't get them back on the hard drive.. Keeps tell me the destination does not exist.. Also.. from testing, I can move each file individually .. but if I grab the folder that has all of them inside I get the error message..
Edit:: I tried with individual files... was working, but once I got into the larger files, over 4 gigs, same error... What the heck!! Never had this issue with Windows 7 ..

That's goofy. Is it just with those particular files or anything you try to transfer?

The files are fine, I can play the videos from the USB drive.. just can't get them off the flash drive..."An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file.

CEO Mark Miles Ready To Tackle Sponsorship, TV Issues Plaguing IndyCar
Published March 22, 2013
THE CHAMP IS HERE: In Indianapolis, Curt Cavin writes driver Ryan Hunter-Reay has "everything the IndyCar Series wants in a reigning series champion except notoriety." Hunter-Reay remains "uncelebrated nationally, and former IndyCar champions say it's an injustice that needs to be rectified." Dario Franchitti said, "All I've heard the last two or three years is that IndyCar needs an American champion again. Then it became anybody but the (Ganassi) guys or the Penske guys, or anybody but Dario. Well, Ryan went out and did it, and he did it on the last lap of the season. What more do people want?" IMS President & CEO and interim IndyCar CEO Jeff Belskus said, "He didn't get as much attention as I'd like for a variety of factors" (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 3/22). The AP's Jenna Fryer noted IndyCar drivers and their "on-track product have been largely overshadowed by the off-track issues that typically plague open-wheel racing, and there's been no bigger casualty than Hunter-Reay." Bernard's "eventual firing and the unrest it created among fans overshadowed everything, including any potential marketing opportunities the series could have had with Hunter-Reay." IndyCar is "playing catch-up now, with Hunter-Reay's face adorning banners and ads for both the series and Sunday's race through the streets of St. Pete" (AP, 3/20).
FRESH FACES: In New York, Ron Levanduski noted the return of former Champ Car World Series driver A.J. Allmendinger "will not be a big enough boost to the series," as he is currently "only signed to run two events for Penske Racing." What the series "could use is another female star like Danica Patrick." IndyCar "may get that" in Simona de Silvestro, who "joined her first competitive team in KV Racing" (Elmira STAR-GAZETTE, 3/20).
TAKE TO THE BIG SCREEN: Miles said "planning is getting very specific about leveraging" Dreamworks' animated film "Turbo," which is "testing really well." Miles noted he is traveling to L.A. "to meet with the Dreamworks people to talk about big ideas to make the most of that" and this "unique opportunity is a big deal" (SPEEDTV.com, 3/19).
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON: Driver Graham Rahal said of previously driving for teams other than the one his father, Bobby Rahal, owns, "I used to go to countless sponsor meetings. I would walk in with whoever it may have been, and the very first question would be, 'Why don't you drive for your dad?' I'm not going to say this is totally sponsor-driven, because dad and I wanted that as well." In Tampa, Jim Tomlin noted this year "everything has lined up and the son is driving for the father." Graham signed a "three-year contract in the offseason with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 3/20).
SIGN ME UP: Mutual of Omaha has become an associate sponsor of Andretti Autosport and driver Marco Andretti. The company will be highlighted on the side and rear wings of Andretti's No. 25 Car (Mutual of Omaha)....Driver Tony Kanaan signed a "nine-race sponsorship deal with Hydroxycut just in time for the IndyCar season opener." The deal between KV Racing Technology and the weight-loss supplement company "helps the team replace longtime sponsor Geico, which gave the organization little notice it was pulling out of IndyCar." The deal still leaves Kanaan's No. 11 car "with five unsponsored races, Detroit, Texas, Iowa, Pocono and Mid-Ohio." But KV "likes its chances of finding a partner because all but the Mid-Ohio event are ABC telecasts" (AP, 3/21).

Hear that? No, you can't. But, according to a report in The Korea Times, venture start-up Xtive claims to have developed an inaudible sound sequence that could have already broadcast its message 200,000 times since you began reading this post. And what message is that?
Xtive says its message will encourage so-called game addicts to stop playing. "Game users can't recognize the sounds. But their subconscious is aware of them and the chances are high they will quit playing," says company president Yun Yun-hae, before adding, "We can easily change the messages. In this sense, the potential for this technology is exponential." Yun then cracks a grin, followed by a sinister cackle. Exponential...
