For that last question he may be wondering if he can upgrade without renewing the license. Basically you do have to renew the license in order to upgrade. You can wait however long you want to renew and your next renewal date would be in relation to the date you renewed on.
TestingSomething added a post in a topic: Starting a sports betting community
I made a sports betting system where you can bet points, make picks in contests, etc... I never quite decided on certain things and also could never 100% be clear on legality (even with it not using money) so haven't released it still. Of course a lot of things you want aren't in it or any other app I know of at this point. I'm always looking into making new things though.
TestingSomething added a post in a topic: Sport Betting Community
On the system I made I'm about to run a contest for the upcoming NCAA football bowl games. My site is sod ead I may have trouble finding people to even join it though. I really never get any feedback from anyone on how to make various things better. If someone wants to try it for the upcoming games they can join it. I've been using it myself for like 3 years, but it's still sloppy in some areas. I get too undecided on various features and I really ened to redo some things. And the contest for bowl picks is one area that needs to be redone even more than other areas.
TestingSomething added a post in a topic: Quote Forcing
I think it would be good to have an option to froce post quoting to leave the quoted post in tact. That way people can't manipulate it to look like someone said something he didn't. Only for quote types which list a nameas being from. It's good to be able to manipulate it by emphacizing words, but I'm not so sure that convenience is worth the ease of manipulation left behind.
TestingSomething added a post in a topic: My Posts
That doesn't show all content though as for some reason they limit it to 1 year of content. I assume to cut back on how much content is retrieved. But that's why to have a separate area for posts because there has to eb SOME way to egt everything and not just the past year.
TestingSomething added a post in a topic: My Posts
I think there should be a quick link on every page (possibly even outside of the dropdown rather than in) which goes right to all of your content. On another site I'm always posting on you can easily get right to a listing of all of your past posts. With IPB first off you can't even get a listing of ALL posts as it cuts it off. Secondly, you can't click a link on any page and be right at all of your posts. Finding someone's past posts is so important that I think it should be separate from the other content and just be listing in a regular table filling the screen rather than in tabs. After posting on a site where it's easy to get one's past posts quickly (and thoroughly) it's more noticable how much better it is and that wth IPB it's not as accessible and obvious.
TestingSomething added a post in a topic: Better Profile Integration
On every type of forum site I've gone to that didn't use Invision their software had good picture integration on their profile. To have to click a tab to see any pics isn't very good for sites which place more emphasis on meeting members and seeing pics and whatnot. On most other software types a few pics will be on the profile and then you can click to view all and the page it then takes you to is still part of the profile and has the same background.
I suggest that IPS think of something that would beter integrate them with the profile. Maybe have pics from a profile album all be viewable right on the profile and a few shown by default. Or maybe have thecurrent member photo shown on the profile as it is now and have a link under it to "view more" or something.
I'm considering making a new site and it won't be very ideal with pics not right there on the default profile and also as far as board goes there really needs to be age requirement control for joining, posting, etc.
TestingSomething added a post in a topic: Undecided: IPB or vB
Most people ehre are jujst going to say IPB automatically and pretend vb is garbage. In reality any successful software is good. I personally like IPB more. But I don't pretend that vb has nothing good about it. All I know is IPB has most of what I want other than it's not capable out of the box of limiting registrations and forum access based on various things (mostly I need upper and lower age limits) and I don't like the skin exactly. I may just change the color using the skin generator, but it's a bit limited in what is changed in that easy fashion.
TestingSomething added a post in a topic: Other charities?
edit: whatever... not worth the time I spent typing the original post and definitely not worth time going back and forth on it.
TestingSomething added a post in a topic: Pre -Sale Question
Dedicated servers may have capacity for hugs transfer, but any shared server is going to have way way wya lower transfer than that or else it's going to be one that finds reasons to disable sites or it will hbave issues with the server being down a lot. That's why I'm going to a host with lower limits since it's more definite that they can control people who would otherwise cause the server to have issues.
So bottom line you still really ened dedicated if you get huge amounts of transfer.
TestingSomething added a post in a topic: Am I allowed to give it away.
In my case it has been that i didn't know certain documentation was updated. When I didn't know about the member and forum forms you thought I hadn't read documentation, but in reality it's because it was in the admin/ folder which I had gone a long time not looking to see if it had any updated documentation.
Also I don't know about this ip.content situation, but in my case I "think" only one thing in IPB I want to do is from not knowing how to do it and the others are due to functionality not being there thus me having to have people manually edit or else me paste entire functions which sure doesn't seem ideal. -

The Sound Tigers have gone 5-1-0 in their last 6 games, continuing their up and down trend that has gone on all season long. A lack of identity could be the cause of the inconsistency but there are some bright spots to take note of in Bridgeport.
A special night at Yankee Stadium for the NHL Stadium Series as the Islanders/Rangers rivalry added history by playing outdoor at this historic venue. The conditions were not what fans and the players are used to with a 22 degree game time temperature and playing in front of over 50,000 fans under the lights.
The Flyers blew a 3-1 lead in the third period, dropping in a shootout to the Islanders, 4-3, Monday afternoon.
The way the first two periods were going, the Flyers were on track for a strong two-point effort to cap the home-and-home with New York. But sluggish play in the third in which they were out-shot 17-3 resulted in a pair goals to tie the game.
Bad penalties caused the Flyers to be exhausted and short-handed much of the period. The Islanders got three power plays in the period and capitalized on the final one.

The New York Islanders played host to the Philadelphia Flyers this afternoon with the hopes of earning back a win against their Metropolitan Division rivals after losing to them 6-4 on the road Saturday night. Anders Nilsson and Ray Emery were your net-minders for the Martin Luther King Jr. matinee. The contest would conclude in a
The first period saw plenty of hits and fights between both sides. Matt Carkner fought Jay Rosehill just inside the Isles blue line, resulting in a win for the home team. Just a few minutes later, Kyle Okposo would drop the mitts with Braydon Coburn inside the Flyers zone. Not many punches were thrown, but KO would get the take down, allowing the Minnesota native to be showered with USA chants as he headed to the Isles penalty box.
The Islanders continued their 6 game road trip on Thursday night visiting the Tampa Bay Lightning and took a well-earned 2-1 shootout victory over the co-leaders of the Atlantic Division. On the current trip the Islanders have now recorded points in 4 of the 5 games.
On a night that was called "the greatest night of my life" by the new first time dad Kyle Okposo, his teammate and good friend John Tavares had one of the best nights statistically of his brief NHL career.
With Ryan Strome now a permanent fixture with the Islanders, the main focus of the prospect pool turns to Anders Lee. Lee has been quietly productive for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers and is the team point leader among players currently on the Sound Tigers' roster. So when will Anders Lee get his chance to prove himself in the NHL?
The New York Islanders continue their western road trip tonight with a stop in Los Angeles to face the Kings, still searching for their first regulation win after the last 11 games played.
The Islanders will still be without Evgeni Nabokov tonight, as Kevin Poulin is slated to start between the pipes. At the other end of the ice will likely be Ben Scrivens, who has taken over for Jonathan Quick after he went down due to injury. Scrivens has played exceptionally well, helping keep his team in the top three of the Pacific Division and 5th in the Western Conference.
The Islanders were once again dealt a body blow last night, as Evegeni Nabokov injured his groin early in the 5-4 shootout victory over the Red Wings. With the groin injury seeming to sideline the veteran goaltenderfor the upwards of 4 weeks, the torch will be officially passed to 23 year old Kevin Poulin. Poulin has been steady so far this season but he has never had the pressure of being the #1 in the NHL.(flickr/lovexanastasia)

Text and Context: Another "Chapter" in the Evolution of Sociology in Canada [*]
Academic journal article
By Hiller, Harry H.; Luzio, Linda Di
Canadian Journal of Sociology
, Vol. 26, No. 3
, Summer 2001
Article excerpt
Abstract: The evolution of sociology as a discipline in Canada is intimately related to its institutional position within Canadian universities. As student bodies expanded, not only did the demand for university-based sociologists increase but there was also a demand for society-specific class material for sociology courses. This paper examines the textbook, particularly in the 1970's, as a symbol of changes and developments in the discipline and demonstrates its role in synthesis-building, community-building, and nation-building in anglo- Canadian sociology.
Resume: L'evolution de la sociologie au Canada est liee a sa position institutionnelle a l'interieur des universites canadiennes. Avec le nombre d'etudiants qui a augmente, la demande pour des sociologues universitaires, ainsi que la demande pour des manuels scolaires pour des cours de sociologie specifique a la societe canadienne a aussi augmentee. Cet article examine le manuel scolaire, notamment dans les annees soixante-diz, comme un symbole des changements et developpements dans la discipline et demontre la facon dont le manuel scolaire a reussit non seulement a synthetiser la recherche sociologique mais aussi a joue un role dans l'etablissement d'une communaute de sociologues au Canada, et a contribue au developpement d'un portrait macro do la societe canadienne anglaise.
It is perhaps unusual to consider textbooks a significant factor in the development of a scientific discipline as they are often only considered as a resource for undergraduate students. Yet the conclusion of this paper is that textbooks have played a significant and symbolic role in the development of anglophone Canadian sociology because of structural factors pertaining to the nature of the discipline in Canada. The two dominant structural features which will be discussed in this paper are the Canadian university context, and the continental context of the relationship of Canadian sociology to American sociology. In addition, a third factor relates to the political economy of Canadian publishing. The evolution of the anglophone Canadian sociology textbook provides unique evidence of how these three factors play a role in both shaping and reflecting the changing sociological community in Canada as well as its attempt to be relevant to the Canadian societal context. In that sense, this paper helps us to under stand the evolution of the discipline in Canada in the last millennium more clearly.
At the outset, it should be pointed out that the wide range of Canadian textbooks in sociology were relatively late arrivals and were initially products of the 1970's. Thus, in reviewing the development of sociology in the last millennium, Canadian textbooks were really only a phenomenon of the last thirty years. The implications of this fact can only be understood in the context of the development of sociology as a discipline in Canada. One of the goals of this paper is to show how the evolution of sociology in Canada is intimately related to the teaching requirements of the discipline which enlarged the field of its practitioners and in which the textbook provided at least one useful outlet for these practitioners to talk to each other and build a sense of community. It will be shown how the Blishen text began this process in the 1960's followed by a flurry of text publishing in the 1970's.
The Text and the Beginning of Sociology in Canada
The historical analysis of sociology as a discipline in Canada has demonstrated that sociology was rather slow to develop in Canada until the 1960's (Hiller, 1982: 3-39). Historically, sociology typically existed in the first instance as a perspective among analysts working in other disciplines who were curious about society or perhaps as a cluster of courses in universities in conjunction with either social work or political economy. Building from the British model of traditional inquiry focussed on history or economics, there was little institutional openness to the kind of sociology developing in American universities until after the Second World War (Clark, 1976: 133-135). …

Ultimate Pond Hockey Involves Getting Strapped to a Helicopter [GoPro Video]
Talk about dedication to a sport. This guy loves pond hockey so much, he straps himself to a helicopter to get to a game on a frozen lake high up in the mountains.

Are you ready for the cutest video of a squirrel you've ever seen in your life?
I'm probably the only person in Grand Rapids who's been excited for the return of winter to town. I know I'm certainly the only person in the building who's excited.
So ready, that I set up my GoPro in the window here at work, to catch the first snowfall to come down in downtown GR last night. We've had little flurries, like the other day and on Halloween, but nothing that sat on the ground and stuck for a bit.
Being an astronaut has to be the coolest thing ever. Why else would we all dream of being one when we were kids? NASA should be the coolest place to work ever!
They always seem to get to do the coolest experiments, and have lots of fun!
I know, there's a bunch of boring stuff they have to do, too...but we don't care about that! We want to see the fun stuff!
Next wedding you go to, do this. Strap a GoPro camera to a popular alcohol bottle, and get video of everyone taking a drink from the bottle!
I can't believe my friends never thought of this for their weddings, as destroyed as we all got at their weddings!
Check out this video where they did it, and see all the hot women drinking from the Fireball bottle
People are always coming up with new things to do with a GoPro...I wouldn't be surprised if there's GoPro fetish porn out there! If there is, I don't want to know, really.
One smart person attached a GoPro to an eagle and had it fly over a soccer match, and you get an amazing shot of the stadium, crowd, and match. You also get a cool view of an eagle's flight.
The GoPro camera has really revolutionized the way people record things, from concerts to extreme sports.
Even if the video shot isn't officially used by GoPro for marketing, it's still great advertising for them. They're instantly recognizable.
While performing at a recent concert, country music star Brad Paisley saw a fan in the front row with a GoPro, taking in all of the action. During a guitar solo, Paisley grabbed the camera with his left hand and just kept playing, while the GoPro recorded all of the action.
Okay, I got bored last night, so I set up a GoPro camera to shoot a time-lapse out my window here at the station. I've never done one before, but it's pretty cool! I had to download a program to stitch them all together, but still, it came out pretty cool! Watch my view of downtown as the sun goes down and night takes over downtown Grand Rapids last night.
It's a GoPro world now. It's almost like a membership card, wearing a camera to show the world your every move, every cool thing, every...car accident?
Some dude was rocketing along on his motorcycle at 140mph...yes, 140mph...shooting it with his GoPro, screwing around with another biker, and SURPRISE!
He runs right into the back of a mini-van.

The collapse of Boston-based hedge fund Sowood Capital Management is taking its toll on the firm's hometown, with two big Beantown institutions accounting for almost one-fifth—at least—of the money lost.
The $50 billion Massachusetts state pension system lost some $30 million of its Sowood investment after the fund was sunk by the sub-prime mortgage market slide, the Boston Globe reports. And Boston-based Harvard Management Co., which manages the $30 billion Harvard University endowment, has lost at least $250 million in the collapse.
Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin—a noted hedge fund foe who has railed against public pensions investing in hedge funds—wasted no time in taking advantage of the collapse to further his favored cause, demanding that Sowood explain how it lost so much money so fast. The firm, which once managed $3 billion, was left with just half that after selling its portfolio to Citadel Investment Group.
The state's pension plan was invested in Sowood through New York-based fund of funds Arden Asset Management. It is the second big loss the pension has suffered in funds of funds in less than a year: It lost $50 million in the Amaranth Advisors collapse last year. Still, Michael Travaglini, executive director of the Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management Board, defended its investments with Arden.
"The autopsy on Sowood won't be complete for some time, but obviously we will be working with Arden to determine what, if anything, we should change about our existing program going forward," he told the Globe.
Meanwhile, across the river in Cambridge, Mass., Harvard wasn't talking about its loss in Sowood, which was founded in 2004 by ex-Harvard money manager Jeffrey Larson. The university's endowment was an initial investor in Sowood, seeding it with $500 million. The endowment, one of the best-performing investment pools anywhere over the past decade, had announced in December that it planned to boost its exposure to Sowood.

The Solis is a solar powered commuter vehicle designed to challenge how we think about parking in highly populated areas.
Semi-transparent solar panels on doors and roofing generate electric power, which is stored in the battery. Alternatively (if plugged up) the electric power is sent back to the grid with money in return, as electric companies are forced by law to pay you at the same rate as they charge.
Due to the size of the Solis, two cars can now park in one regular parking space. The Solis plugs up with a retractable power cord to the parking meter and will provide the city with electricity through its solar panels and thereby paying for parking. When there's lack of sunlight the parking meter acts as a changing station in exchange for payment.
The Solis would be for anyone that commutes in highly populated areas but especially the "Eco chic", which values the "hip factor" and the fashion statement equally to its environmental footprint.Industrial Design, Automotive Design, Product Design2011 -

What kind of angles are y'all riding with?
Ok so I just started tweaking my angles and I already feel a huge difference. I basically been using a 15/-15 duck stance, and changed it to 12/-3 and it feels totally better. Seems like the more straight my foot is on the board, the better I can steer. I haven't tried anything under 12 on my leading foot, but I'm tempted to try next time I ride. What are u guys riding with tho? Think leading with a 9 angle would be too straight?

A lot in here
http://www.snowboardingforum.com/sno...ce-angles.html I rock a 23inch stance with +18/-12 regular. Tried all kinds of angles and this is the one I'm most comfortable with. Quote:
A good way to determine just how straight your feet can be is to jump up and land in an aggressive position. Like a defensive position for basketball or football with your knees bent and your feet a little over shoulder length apart. Some people are more naturally "duck" footed than others. I've seen people riding 0/0 because their feet naturally point straight when they stand. Whatever your body prefers is the right angles. Last edited by Leo; 02-13-2010 at 08:00 AM. |

Dead Fantasy is a series of fan-made CG action movies created by Monty Oum, starring a cast of characters from the Final Fantasy, Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden, and Kingdom Hearts game franchises, fighting it out against each other "battle royale-style" in a number of different environments, including archaic ruins and modern cities.
Since the first installment of Dead Fantasy, the series has been well-received by the fans of both game series, with trailers, previews and the installments themselves being featured at several gaming conventions. There are six movies in the series, and Oum had confirmed episodes VII, and VIII. It is unknown if these new episodes will be created due to Oum's death on February 1, 2015.
The project for the Dead Fantasy series started in July 2007 after Monty Oum gained acclaim for the creation of the fan made CG movie Haloid, which featured Metroid series's Samus Aran fighting the Halo series's Master Chief. His intention for Dead Fantasy was to create a new CG movie which featured more human characters, instead of simply "humanoid" characters, as was the case in Haloid.
While Monty used the original voices of the Dead or Alive cast, due to lack of voice clips or none at all, he used voices from different sources for the Final Fantasy characters.
The moves the girls execute are not just from their respective series. Monty Oum included salutes to many action games, manga and movies by including famous moves into Dead Fantasy, including moves from Soulcalibur, Tekken and Street Fighter. (more...)
Poster for Final Fantasy XXVII. This mock-poster for the game can be found on walls throughout Deus Ex: Human Revolution, another video game produced by Square Enix. The Deus Ex series was published by Eidos Interactive until 2009, when Square Enix bought the company.
Presuming the Final Fantasy series ever reaches a twenty-seventh entry many years in the future, it is obviously highly unlikely this woman will actually be featured a character.

Using primary as the secondary winding in the power transformer.
I know it is not the way how it should be used, but I wonder what are the negative arguments against using primary as the secondary winding in the power transformer. My situation is: I want to build a power supply for the Technics SP-10 MKII turntable, and it needs 10VAC, 50VAC, and 110VAC all total less than 50W.
I see on ebay good quality transformers with 10VAC, 50VAC secondaries, and two primary 110VAC. So I thought I could use that separate 110 VAC coil as a secondary. It suppose to feed neon lamp only with current less than 0.1 A. Can I do it? |

At a first level of analysis:
The windings don't "know" what they doing, whether they are inducing a magnetic field because of a variable current running in them, or whether a current is being induced in them because they're inside a variable magnetic field. As long as you respect "maximums", it will work. (But make sure you understand to what these apply, eg. on 110V input rather than 220V...) Then, to go more into detail (but others, more expert, may describe it better than I do) I think different types of transformers are physically built with different purposes in mind, to go for specific properties. For example, power supply transformers may have the bobbins meant to be "primaries" and "secondaries" physically separated (for further isolation?), or signal transformers may have bobbins "layered" for specific signal transfer characteristics. I think that if you stay very conservative with the "max values" (as is the case in your example) then it should be ok. _ |

There may not be that much safety isolation - probably just 1.5KV, between the two 110V windings, but otherwise everything should work

So safety will be the main issue here, and there is no way to know it unless manufacturer would provide that data for a given winding of transformer, correct?
Here is the one I was looking for: Toroid Transformer T20 65W for TDA1541 kit - eBay (item 280395724172 end time Jun-07-10 08:04:13 PDT) |

You also might look under Miscellaneous at Apexjr.com he has a lot of transformers
and you might find a cheaper way to do this if you use a pair of transformers. |

I don't think that it would be a problem is this circuit, but don't modern power transformers have a fused primary?

Transformers do have a single thermal fuse in the primary winding.
This does not provide any safety isolation from at least one of the live side wires If your project does not have safety earth, use a proper isolating transformer for peace of mind |

This works MOST of the time. there are some issues however. you can only push this so far. for example. if you have a 12V secondary and tried to run that on 120V so that the primary of 120 became much much higher in voltage. There is a point where you reach core saturation and you start drawing lots of line current and things blow up. the ratio of primary to secondary and other factors come into play.
running a 120/240 transformer either way works but running a 120V transformer on 240V may not. Also EI VS toroid makes a difference. I had some beautiful 2Kva dual 120 dual 240V transformers i wanted to run backwards to have dual 60V and was advised against it. something about the core not being fully energized etc etc... If you are only running a neon lamp off that extra primary, it shouldn't be an issue at all. Or if you want i have some new small 115v/115v 15 watt iso transformers i could sell you for a few bucks. |

Transformers with twin primaries like the one you linked to on eBay are designed to have both primary windings driven. That's how they work on both 230V and 115V - for 230V in series and for 115V in parallel. That transformer will still work with only one of the two primaries driven, but it will only deliver half the power - i.e. 32.5VA not 65VA as advertised as it'll be running at half the flux. This sounds like it may not be enough for you as you're wanting up to 50VA.

I felt as if I were staying at grandma and grandpas house. Very homey and comfortable.
good location and the breakfast was a good start to the day
the bath tub faucet ran continuously and could not be shut off
Relatively clean. quiet .
Didn't like the options for breakfast. No fruit. Biscuits & eggs were yucky.
Great. Relatively newly constructed, room was fantastic, pool and hot tub were nice also.
Extremely friendly staff
There was a strong smell of carpet refresher or something that irritated my allergies and sinuses. The smell wasn't foul, it was just too much. My son wasn't bothered by it.
Very comfortable bed, great free breakfast
Would have been nice if water bottles, snacks were available for purchase in the room
location, noisy, bad area, thin wall insulation, old shower, bed not comfortable, free breakfast was only coffee. ended up going to hotel next door(baymont) for early breakfast , waffles, fruit, cereal, juices , rolls and coffee.
Nothing. 2nd time there. Needed a quick place to stay. I was a late check in.
Hard to find entrance. Room smelled like dust and bleach. It was late so I didn't ask for a room change.
Close to interstate highway. noisy. Walk from room to lobby is outdoor but covered at lest to keep you from getting wet
room was smaller than a shoebox - very unlike a typical Hampton room. Way too many spots reserved for their diamond customers for parking. This was barely a Hampton level hotel.
Friendly staff and comfortable beds
No it was great
Very nice hotel for the class and the beds were great for sleeping for the night. Thank you!!
Blonde desk clerk was unfriendly and rude. Not helpful and as i stood there waiting, she didn't even say how can I help you. She just stood there looking at me until I said my name.
Convenient location, fair price, amenities fine for price.
Location near interstate and pet friendly.
This hotel was extremely dirty, run down and the tv reception was snowy. I changed rooms since the first room was dirty and had no towels but the 2nd room was not better.
It was convenient to get to, the price was good, and the staff was outstanding. The rolms were clean and comfortable and the beds were great!
The outside of the place looks run down. Not what we expected from a Baymont Inn. We rented 2 rooms - both nonzsmoking. One of the rooms had clearly been smoked in and the smoke smell was very unpleasant. The staff offered to give us a refund.
convenient, value
noise from I75, our room was on the end of the building closest to the interstate.
Queen size beds!!!
The rooms are dated but nice and clean.
Rooms were up to date and clean
Access was limited but not bad
Room was dirty. Mattress old. Not a two star. One star. Very nice manager though.
Mold in the bathroom. Weak Internet signal. Broken bed caster.
The handicap room was comfortable. It was spacious and had everything that was necessary for my disability.
the manager was very accommodating and most concerned for my well being...he was great...
Workout room,etc.Spacious room
I was charged for two nights that I didn't stay there.
Handicapped accessability
Frt desk guy was not overly friendly

Ralph Lauren Spring 2013
The Ralph Lauren girl likes to travel. The countryside of England, the American Southwest — she frequents those places often, and over the course of several decades, those locales have seeped quite seamlessly into her elegant American sportswear look.
But for Spring 2013, she's headed to new, uncharted territory: Spain and Latin America. And, actually, come to think of it, it's surprising that she hasn't been there before. Ruffles, embroideries, blanket stripes, beads, lace, and fringe — they're all things she's comfortable in. Especially when they come in the form of romantic silhouettes paired with her favorite side-leaning beret.

Winter Weather Advisory/Hazardous Driving For Butte Area
A Winter Weather Advisory for Hazardous Driving Conditions is in effect for Butte and Homestake Pass until Wednesday evening.
A Winter Weather Advisory for Hazardous Driving Conditions is in effect for Butte and Homestake Pass until Wednesday evening.
It's was June 30th, 2010 and we were enjoying a wonderful afternoon of golf at Bridger Creek Golf Course. Then we saw the GREEN clouds roll in. Then we heard the clubhouse siren. Then this happened.
We might see rain in the valley today, turning to snow tonight over Bozeman and surrounding areas. (Up to 6 inches). It's about time!
On June 20th, 2010 I was driving to Great Falls and the weather was BAD. I had to pull over outside of Belt, MT due to heavy rain, unaware that Billings was actually experiencing a tornado.
After an icy few days in the Gallatin Valley, we are expecting more snow this weekend in the Bozeman area.
Just about all of SW Montana including Bozeman should expect snow for Christmas, making holiday travel extremely difficult at times.
The high elevation snow advisory has been extended through Monday morning with as much as 20 inches possible in the mountain passes.
Higher elevations could see up to 2 feet of snow this weekend and travel through passes could be dangerous.
In certain states across the U.S., winter fashion means it's 60 degrees out and time for ladies to don that cute new scarf and boot combo. Tis the season for those trendy UGGs, leggings, and Pea-coats to make a resurgence, and it's time to dig out those favorite jeans that have been patiently waiting in the closet all through the summer months
Now that snowy weather is upon us, the Bozeman Police Department wants to remind everyone of the snow removal rules that apply to homeowners and business owners. Let's keep our sidewalks safe!
A backcountry avalanche warning has been issued for the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center's entire advisory area.
Natural avalanche activity is likely on all slopes following heavy snowfall and strong winds that created widespread instability, according to the GNFAC.
The avalanche danger is rated high in the B
Traveling in Montana this holiday week could be treacherous through mountain passes with very heavy snow. Being prepared is the key and knowing when NOT to be on the roads can help everyone have a safe couple of days.

Rick Santorum Says Separation of Church and State is a Communist Idea, Not an American One: AUDIO
In a recent conference call with failed Virginia Lieutenant Governor candidate E.W. Jackson, former Pennsylvania senator and longtime theocrat Rick Santorum responded to a caller waxing poetic about the communist influences in the Democratic Party's support for gay rights and immigration reform by adding that the whole idea of separation of church and state really has more in common with communist Russia than it does with our good old red, white, and blue.

I had to bathe my pup (she slipped on floor cleaner) my daughter was trying to help and in the confusion my gsd might have gotten water in her ears. I feel horrible and terrible her ears are now flopped sideways and she shook her head last night.
Did your pups ears eventually stand? I am super nervous not that I would love her any different I just feel guilty |

Same with our pup. Now I catch both ears up in the morning, later in the day they are both down. He is nearly 5 months. I have no doubts they will go up and stay eventually.

Your Partner Has Cheated. Should You Reconcile?
By Samantha Menjor for CupidsPulse.com
You notice that your partner has been acting differently lately.The occasional late night work meeting now falls on every day of the week. He or she has been constantly texting and having secret telephone conversations in the bathroom. The scent of a different perfume or cologne lingers on their clothing. There's an emotional distance in your relationship that ceased to exist before. You have a gut feeling of what is really going on, but you don't want to believe it. Plus, there is no proof … until you get a call from a friend letting you know they have spotted your other half in a compromising position with another person at a local restaurant. You rush over to find your beau holding hands, kissing and gazing lovingly into the eyes of someone else. All you see is red through the blurred vision of your tears.
Fast forward to a few weeks later. You're feeling hurt, pain, betrayal, confusion and anger. Your partner has admitted their wrongdoing and has apologized countless times. Friends and family are all trying to give you their best advice, but you're hearing conflicting resolutions of what you should do.
If you've never been in this situation, you most likely know someone who has. It may not have happened exactly like the given scenario, but we've all had a friend come to us for advice on infidelity in their relationship. So what do you tell them? What would you do if you were in a similar situation? Here are some questions you need to ask yourself and your partner when deciding between reconciliation and a breakup:
Related: When Can You Trust Him?
1. Was the affair short-term or long-term?
Some affairs last months, even years and others are just a night of poor judgment. While you may not want to know the details of your partner's infidelity, it's important to know how much time was spent cheating. This allows you to better understand whether there was an emotional investment, whether it was strictly physical or both. Either situation would be difficult to rectify, but it helps in getting to the root of the issue.
2. Why did this happen?
There had to be something your unfaithful partner felt was lacking in the relationship for an affair to happen. Did they feel you were working too much and not showing them enough attention? Did having children cause you to lose your spark as a couple? A decision to reconcile is often dependent upon what caused the infidelity. Is it something that the two of you can fix through compromise, communication and counseling? If not, then the chances of reconciliation are slim.

Global Economics Monthly: Australia's Middle-Power Moment
Volume III | Issue 5 | May 2014By Matthew P. Goodman, Matthew P. GoodmanMay 28, 2014
This month I was fortunate to participate in a State Department program that took me on a two-week, five-city speaking tour around Australia. The trip confirmed my notion of Australia as a reliable political and security partner of the United States (and as an exotic tourist destination), but what I had not fully appreciated was the country's economic dynamism and important place in the regional and global economy. With a gross domestic product of roughly $1.5 trillion, over two decades of unbroken growth, and a key role in regional trade, Australia is a formidable "middle power" in Asia-Pacific economic affairs. This year, its mettle will be tested at the global level, as it hosts the premier forum for international economic cooperation, the Group of 20 (G-20).

Zachary Levi Marries Missy Peregrym in Maui
Posted by Hayley in Jun 18,2014 with No Comments
It was a nice day for a white wedding! Zachary Levi and Missy Peregrym surprised fans when they tied the knot in Maui June 15, and now E! News is exclusively revealing the first photo from their nuptials. The First Date actor, 33, and the Rookie Blue actress, 32, kept their guest list small, inviting only family members and close friends to attend. Levi's longtime stylist, Warren Alfie Baker, dressed the couple for their big day. Peregrym modeled a backless Amanda Wakeley gown, while Levi wore a blue Reiss suit. James Sartain did Peregrym's hair, while Candace Ornstein handled the TV star's makeup. Throughout the day, L.A.-based photographer Eric Blackmon documented the private pair's picture-perfect affair. Peregrym's father and one of Levi's best friends officiated the ceremony, a source says. On Tuesday, an insider told E! News that Levi "is beyond thrilled" to have married "the love of his life." Unsurprisingly, the feeling is mutual. "Missy couldn't be happier either," the insider said. "It was a beautiful ceremony." The newlyweds announced their union via Twitter, with Peregrym posting a picture of the pair wearing "Mr." and "Mrs." hoodies. "That coffee date was UNREAL," she wrote Sunday, including the hash tag #marriedinmaui. Levi retweeted his wife and added, "These dreams and goals are really workin out." [SOURCE]

I'm Char, another Googler from Search Quality here to help out in the
Webmaster Help Group.My foray into webmastering began with a personal photo gallery site I
created years ago, which looks like it is perpetually stuck in the
nineties. To redeem myself, I helped my last company bring its website
out of the nineties. Currently, I co-author a personal blog and am
working on setting up a personal website to host my own music fluff
(domain name TBD).In addition to creating music fluff, I also like listening to all
sorts of music, trying different kinds of food, wandering around in
general, and learning about people.I look forward to getting to know many of you and being involved in
this already very active and supportive community=). Thank you for
having me.

A spike in equity volatility last month has caused anxiety among equity derivatives dealers, many of which were short volatility, and raised fears that a prolonged increase could generate hefty mark-to-market losses in equity derivatives trading books.
"If the current market environment persists, the negative impact of the accumulated volatility, correlation and dividend risk on the profit and loss of books may become significant," said Adrian Valenzuela, head of equity derivatives flow marketing at JP Morgan in London.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange's Vix index, which measures the market's expectation of 30-day volatility on S&P 500 index option prices, touched 37.5% on August 16, its highest level since October 2002. It traded at above 20% for much of last month, closing at 20.98% on August 25.
It was a similar story in the less liquid long-dated over-the-counter market last month. On August 21, dealers were quoting five-year at-the-money option implied volatility for both the S&P 500 and Euro Stoxx 50 at around 25%.
Some firms have become very short volatility over the past year as investors and insurance companies have bought downside protection. Protection buying has taken the form of vanilla put options and simple barrier options that lower the premium paid by the hedger. A number of hedge funds have also taken long volatility positions through variance swaps. However, most dealers say it should be straightforward to manage the volatility risk on their books, either by repackaging the volatility into structured products aimed at retail investors or laying it off with hedge funds.
Risk repricing has also been evident in the dividend swaps market. Dividend swaps have a payoff that depends on the difference between future aggregate dividends of a stock index over a given year and an agreed dividend strike price. Growth rates implied by swaps maturing over the next 10 years have tumbled since early July. For instance, an S&P 500 2009/10 financial year dividend swap was pricing in an implied annual growth rate of 6% on July 10, according to Deutsche Bank. By August 23, the implied rate had plummeted to 2.9%.
Elsewhere in the equity derivatives market, there appears to have been a lot of de-leveraging activity in August. "We have seen various transactions in dispersion, for instance, that suggest liquidations have been happening," says Valenzuela. Equity correlation traders and volatility arbitrageurs put on dispersion trades, seeking to profit from moves in index implied volatility versus single-stock implied volatility.

Andreas Michalakopoulos
Andreas Michalakopoulos (Greek: Ανδρέας Μιχαλακόπουλος) (born 17 May 1876, Patras – died 7 March 1938, Athens) was an important liberal politician in the inter-war period who served as Prime Minister of Greece from 7 October 1924 to 26 June 1925.
He was a senior member of the Liberal Party and a close associate of its founder, the Greek statesman Eleftherios Venizelos, for more than 20 years. With Venizelos he participated in the negotiations for the international treaties of Sèvres and Lausanne, and co-signed as Foreign Minister the Greek-Turkish Friendship Convention (also known as the Treaty of Ankara) on 30 October 1930.
He held important posts in several governments led by Eleftherios Venizelos, Alexandros Zaimis and Konstantinos Tsaldaris; Foreign Minister (1928–33), Minister for Economy (1912–916), Minister for Agriculture (1917–1918, 1920), Minister for Military Affairs (1918).
Opposed to the military dictatorship of Ioannis Metaxas, he was sent to political exile on Paros in 1936, which resulted in his death in 1938.[how?]
He was buried in the First Cemetery of Athens.

Genentech Announces Definitive Agreement To Acquire Seragon Pharmaceuticals
Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Seragon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Seragon), a privately held biotechnology company based in San Diego, California. With this acquisition, Genentech obtains rights to Seragon's entire portfolio of investigational next-generation oral selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) for the potential treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
"This year, breast cancer will claim the lives of nearly 40,000 women in the United States, and up to half of these women will have a disease that is driven by the estrogen receptor," said Richard Scheller, Ph.D., executive vice president and head of Genentech Research and Early Development. "We believe these investigational oral SERDs could one day redefine the standard of care for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer."
Under the terms of the agreement, Genentech will make an upfront cash payment of $725 million, plus additional contingent payments of up to $1 billion based on achievement of certain predetermined milestones. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014. Once the transaction is completed, Seragon's portfolio will be integrated into Genentech Research and Early Development.
About Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer and SERDs
Up to sixty percent of breast cancers depend on the hormone estrogen and the estrogen receptor to grow and spread. This type of breast cancer is called hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It is typically treated with medicines, such as tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors, that are designed to block the action at the estrogen receptor or interfere with the body's production of estrogen. Many women who receive these current hormonal agents will eventually see their disease return or worsen. Scientists at Seragon have developed next-generation selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs). This class of medicines is designed to both block estradiol action at the estrogen receptor and also eliminate the estrogen receptor from the cell altogether. It is believed that SERDs change the shape of the estrogen receptor in a manner that targets it for elimination by the cell. These next-generation dual-acting SERDs may offer an improved approach to treating hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, and potentially other cancers driven by the estrogen receptor.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Founded in 2008, Swedish Hasbeens, as the name suggests, is a Swedish retro-inspired brand. It has been adopted by celebrities including Sarah Jessica Parker, who has given the label a high profile and turned these quirky shoes and bags into must have accessories. This new brand is for laid back individuals, who prefer unique style as opposed to following trends. Their aim of the brand is to emulate the old fashioned popular styles of the 70's and turns them into exciting new designs for the new millennium. The products all come in a great range of diverse colours. Swedish Hasbeens recycle, use ecological materials and are hand crafted using environmentally techniques. What more of a brand can you expect? Now at YOUR!
Bringing the 70s back.
20.06.2012 / PRODUCTSSwedish Hasbeens shoes are hand-made using the same craftsmanship as in the the 70s which is kind to people and nature. The manufacturers use natural materials and you could pretty much bury your shoes in your garden. Like all hand-made stuff using natural materials every pair will be unique which is a sign of quality. So don't worry if the wood varies in color and if there are twigs in it. Natural grain leather may also have marks and may vary in color and thickness. The untreated natural colored leather will darken with time. The colored leather, like black, might rub off on other light stuff. The color on the painted wooden sole and the rubber sole will wear off in a natural way with time, and that's what these beauties are all about.
Hand-made stuff with natural materials just makes you more unique… which is really great…if you like being unique that is…
New Swedish Hasbeens are in store now and we LOVE it!
