"Winter and Summer in Marrakesh" Top 5 Page for this destination Marrakesh by suvanki
Marrakesh Travel Guide: 2,242 reviews and 6,151 photos
Wow! what can I say about this fascinating city that will do it justice?
Marrakesh had long been on my top 10 places to see list. So looking for somewhere special to celebrate my Birthday, I decided it had to be Marrakesh!
I was particularly looking forward to experiencing the excitement and drama of Djemma El Fnaa Square, wandering around the souks and learning about the history and culture of the city. It would be my first visit to Africa too.
Pre- departure I'd been given mixed advice. Most had loved Marrakesh, but there were those 'friends of friends' who'd had bad experiences!, and questioned my sanity for travelling alone to Marrakesh! Fellow VTers who'd travelled solo were mainly encouraging.
Well, I loved Marrakesh from the minute I arrived!
Anyone planning a visit for the first time, and have worries/ concerns after hearing 'horror stories' please keep an open mind- I'm sure you'll have as great a time as I did!
I always find it magical to arrive in a new place when it's dark. Speeding through the streets to my hotel, I tried to take in all the un usual sights.
My first sight of the Koutoubia Mosque, floodlit against the winter sky, people bustling around, men walking or cycling with the pointed hoods of their jellabahs looking quite sinister at first, caleches winding between the cars and mopeds, the illuminated fountains and shops/cafes of Ave Mohammed V.
After checking into my hotel, a quick 'welcome Meeting' with our Panorama rep over my first (of many) mint tea, a quick wash n brush up, and I was heading for Djemma El Fnaa by taxi, just over an hour since arriving at the airport!
I'd intended my first view of this legendary arena to be at night time, so I wasn't disappointed!
Djemma El Fnaa was even better than I'd anticipated!
My taxi dropped me off opposite the Koutoubia mosque, and soon I was walking through the crowds of one of the streets off Djemma el Fnaa, as I got nearer, I could hear the incessant drumming sounds, people chattering in all languages above the call to prayer.
In the distance I could see smoke rising, above kerosene lamps, which I could soon smell, along with the fumes of passing motor cycles, and donkeys!
Within minutes, I was standing in the chaos of Djemma El Fnaa- and I LOVED it!!
Marrakesh assaults all your senses, individually and collectivelly!
Some of my special memories are:
My first view of Djemma El Fnaa at night, the bright blue painted house and pots in the Majorelle Gardens, the reflection of the ornate doorway in the pool at Ben Yusseff Medersa, the carved and painted ceiling in Dar Si Said, The bright coloured dyed silks, a glimpse of the High Atlas Mountains.
The tanneries (say no more!) , mint tea, charcoal grilled food in Djemma el Fnaa, spices in the souks, leather bags and babouches,kerosene from the lamps that illuminated the entertainers in Djemma el Fnaa. Petrol fumes from the many mopeds, the horses and donkeys that pulled the caleches or ricketty carts, the many perfumes and aftershaves of fellow travellers!
** During my summer visit the most pungent smell was of stale urine from the many caleche pulling horses-pheeew!!!! it wasn't difficult to find where they were stationed!! **
-Mint Tea, Orange juice, freshly cooked food in Djemma el Fnaa, fresh bread and creamy butter at breakfast time, sheeps testicles!!! and tender cooked lamb, with cumin and salt 'dip', The hot spicy Hunja- a very welcome drink on a cold night.
The musicians in Djemma el Fnaa, the clip clop of the horses pulling the caleches, rifles being fired at Chez Ali, the call to prayer from the mosques, the blend of languages and dialects heard around Marrakesh, the trickling water of the many fountains and pools.
The soft leathers, a massage, people crowding around whilst watching performers in Djemma el Fnaa.
My next visit to Marrakesh was in the Summer of 2006, at the start and end of a Moroccan Tour
It was quite different to my experience in January - I arrived in the daytime to find it very hot, humid and overcast, and even busier!
I spent one night at Riad Al Mamoune, before catching a bus to Ouarzazate, where I spent a few days, before joining a tour group. During the tour, we returned to Marrakesh for an overnighter, before travelling to Essaouira. After a night in Essaouira, we returned to M'Kesh, where the tour ended. I stayed on for a further 3 days.
So, I got the chance to see some new places, and revisit some of the places I'd seen in Jan 05.
I'll be adding new tips and photos, and updating my other tips (** = updated info)
I think I preferred my 1st visit in January, it was cooler, less humid, and felt like there was less hassle - there didn't seem to be so many outstretched hands for baksheesh at every encounter! (also I was just based in the one hotel, whereas my Summer visit I stayed in 3 different hotels in the city, to-ing and fro-ing)
Having said that, I did still enjoy exploring new areas, and re-visiting some of my previous favourites. I even managed to find the Badia Palace this time!
I think I might have seen Marrakech at the right time, before it becomes even busier and more commercialised/Westernised - looks like it could be heading the same way as Turkey, with International hotel groups and businesses setting up shop.
Originally (Naively), I thought this might be good for the Moroccan people, with better job opportunities etc, but I've since learnt that any getting jobs will be on a very basic wage/ poor working conditions etc
- Pros:Atmosphere of Djemma El Fnaa At night, sights all within walking distance.
- Cons:Cold at night (in January) Hot n humid in summer!
- In a nutshell:I preferred my visit in January - easier for getting around

South remains perfect in S-CL
The Class 4A second-ranked South High School girls basketball broke out of a funk in the third quarter to run past East 48-30 in a South-Central League game Friday night at the Southwest Motors Events Center.
East 9 3 8 10 — 30
South 11 8 23 6 — 48
East— Laughlin 2 1-2 5, Winston 2 1-4 5, Albo 1 1-2 4, Day 4 1-4 9, Minich 3 0-1 7. Totals 12 4-13 30. 3-point goals: Albo, Minich. Fouls: 14.
South— Hugins 3 0-0 8, Mckissack 0 1-3 1, Duran 4 0-0 9, Hall 2 1-4 5, Patterson 6 0-3 14, Jesik 3 1-2 7, Leigh 2 0-0 4. Totals: 20 3-14 48. Fouls: 14.
The Colts poured in 23 points in the decisive quarter to break away from a pedestrian 19-12 halftime lead. The result was a 42-20 cushion and South cruised to their 16th win in 17 outings, improving to 5-0 in the S-CL. East fell to 11-5 overall and 3-2 in the league.
Jenny Hugins triggered the third-quarter explosion with all eight of her points in succession, including a pair of 3-pointers. She also had a steal at halfcourt she converted into a layup as South blew the game open. Shannon Patterson, the state's third leading scorer, also was instrumental during the key run with eight of her game-high 14 points.
"It seemed like you can go through all the defensive fundamentals and everything was a step slow tonight," South head coach Shannan Lane said. "It usually is just a player, but it was our entire team. My thing is next play, we move on. These girls need to focus.
"I don't think the girls were real happy. They are hard on themselves, too."
East used a spread offense in the first half and slowed the game down. That enabled the Eagles to keep the game close as they trailed 11-9 after one quarter and 19-12 at the break.
Kassidy Day had 9 and Jailen Minich 7 to lead East, which was held to single digits in the first three quarters.

In Dubai, Weight Loss Is Worth Gold
By editor
Originally published on Fri July 19, 2013 6:06 am
If you want people to slim down, why not reward them with gold? That's the tack being taken in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. For every kilogram lost, the government will pay out a gram of gold.

ISO Dirtex
local ACE store doesnt carry. where can i get it? is there somthing else i can use thats readily availabe? fyi-i live in San diego.
Surely your ACE at least has some TSP?!?!?!
This requires a good rinsing or 2 tho....
The small box of Dirtex powder (along with other Dirtex items by Savogran) is on their ACEnet.
I could post SKU's Sunday if you'd like.
(WE'VE had it for Yeeears...)
DON'T USE the trigger-spray Dirtex, OR the aerosol version on walls!!!! These are a different animal, and can't be used for paint-prep.
Surely your ACE at least has some TSP?!?!?!
This requires a good rinsing or 2 tho....
Faron, those are fighting words!..just kidding.
TSP is too risky. We know it hinders adhesion if not properly flood rinsed and wiped away. The most common failure is at baseboard joints and other nooks and crannies on any paint project.
If you can not find Dirtex, Jasco TSP Substitute works as well and it's no rinse when applied according to directions.
When washing walls, you need two buckets, one sponge and two towels.
One bucket with solution and one bucket with rinse. Rinse will be changed often. Dip sponge in solution and wash. Rinse sponge in rinse bucket *before* going back to solution. Wipe wall with towel to dry and continue the process.
Most local (independent) paint stores carry Dirtex in my area. Ace and Do-It-Best Hardware carry it as well.

Arch Linux Enables Wayland GTK+

For those Arch Linux users looking to play with Wayland/Weston, the GTK+ package available within the distribution now enables support for the Wayland back-end.
GTK+3 has Wayland support that has to be configured at build-time but can dynamically switch from being used on an X11 Server or Wayland or the other supported tool-kit back-ends. The Arch package maintainers have now approved building GTK+ with the Wayland support.

HyperPi is a front end for SuperPi that allows for multiple concurrent instances of SuperPi to be run on each core recognized by the system. It is very dependent on CPU to memory to HDD speed. The faster these components, the faster it is able to figure out the number Pi to the selected length.
For our testing we use the 32M run. This means that each of the four physical and four logical cores for the i7 and the four physical cores of the i5 is trying to calculate the number Pi out to 32 million decimal places. Each "run" is a comparative to ensure accuracy and any stability or performance issues in the loop mentioned above will cause errors in calculation.

Replacing Everest in our labs is AIDA64. This new testing suite is from the core development team from Lavalys and continues that tradition. The guys have thrown in better support for multithreaded CPUs as well as full 64 bit support. We use this to test memory and HDDs for now, but may find ourselves opening this up to other areas of the motherboard.
Out of the box, the performance of the GIGABYTE Z87X-UD4H really falls in line with the majority of our other Z87 boards. You can see, looking above, though, that the Z87X-OC Force managed an awesome Hyper Pi score out of the box.
As for overclocking, the strong 4.975GHz clock makes for an awesome performance boost. You can see our Hyper Pi score comes in under 11 minutes, and our AIDA64 numbers shoot right up.

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Escape the holiday crowds and breathe in some fresh backcountry air when you utilize the Ortovox Zoom+ Avalanche Rescue Package. Its included Zoom+ transceiver, 240 Economic Probe, Badger shovel, and Safety Academy guide book help ensure you have the proper safety tools in case of an avalanche. Along with this kit, we highly recommended that you take avalanche courses and train with your touring partners so you understand the dangers of the backcountry and know how to properly respond in a stressful avalanche situation. The included user-friendly, triple-antenna Zoom+ transceiver features Ortovox's patented Smart Antenna Technology which analyzes its position in an avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmission antenna. As a result, it almost doubles the range when you're in the worst coupling position, regardless of the beacon your partners are using to search for you. The Zoom+ also has a slimmed down design for ease of use. With only two buttons, faulty operation is virtually impossible. Once switched on, the user can switch between sending and searching modes using the safety switch. Further instructions are then displayed on the large LED screen which is easy to read even in poor visibility and at night. Distances, directional arrows, and information about several avalanche victims guide you in the fastest way to the refined search area, with the intuitive search acoustics making victims easier to locate. This sweet package also includes a lightweight aluminum Badger shovel with an ergonomic, hybrid grip for maximum power transmission. Designed with a sizable blade volume of 2. 5 liters, the Badger has a center ridge and high side walls for full rigidity while you dig out your victim or dig a pit. Non-slip grooves on the top edge of the blade provide adequate traction on your boots while a centering aid in the shaft socket facilitates rapid assembly. An included 240 Economic Probe helps you locate the avalanche victim beneath the snow onc...

Streamlined for ease of use, the Ortovox Zoom+ RECCO avalanche transceiver has an intuitive design that quickly guides you to a buried victim, and it includes a RECCO reflector for backup protection.
The ZOOM+ combines the simplest handling with the latest technology and the most advanced design. Reduced to two functional buttons, the ZOOM+ concentrates on intuitive usability. The focus on the clearly designed LED-display is on the on / off switches and the switch between transmitting and searching. Distances, directional arrows and information about several avalanche victims guide you in the fastest way to the refined search area, with the intuitive search acoustics making victims easier to locate. Equipped with the patented SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY, avalanche victims are found much better with the ZOOM+. The device analyzes its position in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transimission antenna. The latest digital 3-antenna technology is taken for granted at ORTOVOX just as much as the aut omatic switch over in case of a follow-up avalanche.BE FOUND EASIERSMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGYMore easily found with the ZOOM+! The integrated SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY analyzes the position of the antennas in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmission antenna. The result: Almost double the range in the worst coupling position, regardless of the beacon used for searching.SECONDARY AVALANCHE SWITCHOVERA motion sensor has been added to the ZOOM+ to enable secondary avalanche switchover. If the sensor has not detected any motion for 120 seconds during the search, it automatically switches back to transmit mode. Thus rescuers can also be found if there has been a secondary avalanche.RECCO REFLECTOR INSIDEFor maximum protection, the ZOOM+ is also equipped with a Recco reflector. Recco helps professional rescuers find victims buried in the snow even faster. This offers an additional possibility of being found quickly. The backup technology is used by more than 700 ski areas and rescue teams around the world.INTUITIVE DESIGNOrtovox has slimmed down the ZOOM+ to its most important elements. With only two buttons, faulty operation is virtually impossible. Once switched on, the user can switch between sending and searching modes using the safety switch. Further search instructions are then displayed on the large LED. A soft rubber ring around the outside of the device ensures easy handling and provides additional protection. To prevent loss, the ZOOM+ has been given an elastic hand loop and practical carrying case.VISUAL + ACOUSTIC SEARCHThe ZOOM+ focuses the person searching on the large display in the middle of the device. LEDs are used to show the distance to the victim, the direction using arrows and if there is more than one victim. Large LEDs are easy to read especially in poor visibility conditions and at night. The visual search mode is supported by intuitive search ac oustics. Higher and fast sounds tell you that you are approaching the avalanche victim. The sophisticated sound sequence clearly signals when buried victims are near.

Improved Medication Adherence, Fair Pharmacy Reimbursement Essential to Improved Care, Reduced Costs
Published Online:
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
Arlington, Va. March 12, 2014
– Citing pharmacist-administered medication therapy management (MTM), recognition of pharmacists as healthcare providers, the need for fair and accurate pharmacy reimbursement in state Medicaid programs and other pharmacy services, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) urged lawmakers to carefully consider pharmacy provisions within the "Fiscal 2015 Budget," released by the Administration last week.
NACDS submitted a
to the House Budget Committee and House Ways and Means Committee as each begins review of the "Fiscal 2015 Budget" during hearings this week. "Community pharmacies and pharmacists provide access to prescription medications and over-the-counter products, as well as cost-effective health services such as immunizations and disease screenings," NACDS stated in its comments. "Through personal interactions with patients, face-to-face consultations and convenient access to preventive care services, local pharmacists are helping to shape the healthcare delivery system of tomorrow—in partnership with doctors, nurses and others."
In its statement, NACDS cited public and private studies showing the health benefits and cost-savings as a result of pharmacist-provided MTM services, including a 2013 report by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) which found that Part D MTM programs consistently and substantially improved medication adherence and quality of prescribing for evidence-based medications for beneficiaries with congestive heart failure, COPD, and diabetes.
"Moreover, policymakers have begun to recognize the vital role that local pharmacists can play in improving medication adherence. Congress has recognized the importance of pharmacist-provided services such as MTM by including it as a required offering in the Medicare Part D program," NACDS stated in its comments.
Highlighting pharmacists' proven ability to provide services that lead to better clinical outcomes and lower healthcare costs, NACDS urged the "implementation of budget proposals that allow all healthcare providers, including retail pharmacists, to practice to their maximum capabilities, working in partnership to provide accessible, high quality care to patients."
Focusing on patient access to care, NACDS expressed its opposition to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposal within the FY2015 Budget to exclude brand and authorized generic drugs from the calculation of average manufacture price (AMP), thereby calculating Medicaid Federal Upper Limits (FULs) based only on generic drug prices.
"While the goal of this provision may be to decrease Medicaid costs, we believe it may in fact reduce access to prescription drugs and pharmacy services for Medicaid patients, resulting in increased overall healthcare expenditures," NACDS stated in its comments.
NACDS' recent analysis, indicated that approximately 35 percent of the draft FULs are below National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC).
"This analysis confirms that additional efforts by CMS are necessary to ensure that pharmacies are not reimbursed below their costs using the reimbursement formula created by the Affordable Care Act. We urge CMS to utilize the rulemaking process to implement the Medicaid pharmacy provisions in a manner consistent with congressional intent, rather than pursuing policies that would further cut pharmacy reimbursement," NACDS stated in its comments. NACDS also stressed the implications on patient care if CMS pursues changes to Medicaid reimbursement of durable medical equipment (DME) specifically for diabetes testing supplies (DTS).
"Reducing Medicaid reimbursement for DTS to match the Medicare rate could similarly produce hardships for Medicaid beneficiaries in terms of reducing access to needed supplies and threatening the health of an already fragile population.
In its statement, NACDS also expressed support for provisions to increase the utilization of generic drugs which help control prescription drug costs; and stressed cautious support for efforts by HHS to reduce waste, fraud and abuse in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, but in a manner that does not to disrupt beneficiary access or jeopardize beneficiary health.
"We look forward to working with policymakers and stakeholders on these important issues," NACDS concluded in its statement.

Tropes Used In This Short:

- Deranged Animation: One of the Fleischer's most bizarre works outside of "Swing You Sinners!" and "Minnie the Moocher."
- Disproportionate Retribution: OFF WITH HER HEAD! For being prettier than the queen.
- In Name Only: The short starts out pretty close to the Grimms fairy tale, but around the middle, it drifts off so far, it's advised to consider this cartoon strictly as a Betty Boop short (even the poisoned apple is nowhere to be seen.)

Features: Ensure Food Safety Through Pre-employment Screening
Ensuring safe food is an important public health priority for our nation. For years, regulatory and industry food safety programs have focused on reducing the incidence of foodborne illness. Despite these efforts, however, the 1996 report, "Reinventing Food Regulations: National Performance Review," concluded that foodborne illness caused by harmful bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms in meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, and a host of other foods is a significant public health...
Features: Safety at Your Fingertips
The food service industry has been hit hard by foodborne illness outbreaks such as E. coli in spinach and hygiene mishaps that threaten customers' health and company reputations. The solution to many of these food-handling problems is at employees' fingertips.
Features: Cool Technologies
Most of us can recount opening a recently purchased food product, only to find it spoiled. This firsthand experience underscores ongoing problems within the food supply chain that new technologies can solve.
Features: The Promise of Polyester
The terms "fluid-resistant" and "tapered sleeves with fitted cuffs" sound more like features on a durable power suit that maintains the corporate look, flight after flight and meeting after meeting.
Features: Allergen Rules Nothing to Sneeze At
This is the second of a two part series. the first article, "Managing Allergen Labeling Challenges," was published on p. 49 of the October/November issue.
Features: Hormel Is a Cut Above
It was 1923 when George A. Hormel gave an employee the same sage advice undoubtedly instilled in him while working in his uncle's meat market during the late 1800s: "What you get out of this business depends wholly on how much you put into it," he wrote. "Don't expect big results unless you are personally analyzing your work to see how you can bring it up to a higher standard."
Features: Validating Microbiology
The H2N2 virus of the late 1950s was fully transmissible among humans. It circulated in humans and caused annual epidemics until 1968, when it vanished after the emergence of influenza A/H3N2 viruses that caused the next pandemic.

Thunder even series with 110-89 blowout of Lakers
OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin Durant scored 22 points, Russell Westbrook added 18 points and eight rebounds, and the Oklahoma City Thunder evened their first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers with a 110-89 victory in Game 4 on Saturday night.
For the second straight game, the Thunder capitalized on a significant edge at the foul line and on the boards despite the presence of the Lakers' 7-foot tandem of Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum.
Oklahoma City never trailed after the opening 5 minutes and led by double digits for the final three quarters in a thorough dismantling of the defending NBA champions.
Bynum had 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Gasol also scored 13 to lead Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant finished with only 12 points.
Game 5 is Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
After Durant clamped down on Bryant in the fourth quarter of the Thunder's 101-96 win in Game 3, the matchup between the NBA's youngest scoring champion and the 2008 MVP never materialized this time around.
Instead, both superstars were on the bench for the entire fourth quarter while lineups of mostly reserves toiled away with little more than the final margin at stake.
It was the Lakers' largest playoff loss since Boston's clinching 131-92 victory in Game 6 of the 2008 finals. Oklahoma City held a 50-43 rebounding edge and shot 20 more free throws - finishing 42 of 48.
There was plenty for another raucous Ford Center crowd to cheer about, with Oklahoma City adding to its lead throughout. A huge ovation followed when Eric Maynor converted a double-pumping three-point play and when fellow rookie James Harden hit a 3-pointer moments later to push the advantage to 99-72, then hoisted three fingers over his head as he trotted back downcourt.
The Thunder bucked a trend of slow starts in the series, grabbing the lead early and increasing their advantage with a 12-0 run late in the first quarter. Westbrook had the first six points in the rush and Bryant headed to the bench for his first rest of the game while Oklahoma City surged to a 27-14 lead.
Bryant had spent all of his time to that point deferring to his teammates and didn't attempt his first shot until he drilled a 3-pointer with 9:07 left in the second quarter after L.A. had fallen behind by 15. The Thunder led by as many as 16, including after Bryant's foul led to a four-point play by James Harden that made it 44-28, and it only got worse in the second half.
Lamar Odom made a brief bid to get the Lakers back into the game with three straight baskets to cut the deficit to 76-61 late in the third, but Oklahoma City came right back with its own run of seven straight points.
The lead reached 86-63 after Durant hit three straight free throws, including one after Luke Walton drew a technical foul for arguing the initial whistle.
Coach Phil Jackson had seen enough by then and kept Bryant, Gasol and fellow starters Ron Artest and Derek Fisher on the sidelines for the final period.

Greetings -

In an effort to test the robustness of the RSS feed system and to see if anyone actually monitors this blog any longer, I thought I would mention that the SP1 update for FSX has gone to Beta today. This is due to a ton of hard work by a lot of people on the team, and we are all very excited about how this update will be received by the community and our customers.

In addition to the dramatic performance improvments and overall quality and polish in the base FSX product, we've done an immense amount of work to improve the SDK and the run-time components associated with SimConnect, modeling components and other third-party development related features.

 The efforts of the beta program will only make the final release of the SP1 update that much better, and we appreciate the efforts of everyone on the beta team who take the time and effort to not only test the product, but to provide valuable feedback that makes fixing the bugs dramatically more efficient.

 I look forward to being able to update this blog once again when we announce the final release of the SP1 update for FSX.

Michael Zyskowskihttp://blogs.technet.com/SkyHawk/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxThe SDK Update for FSX has Released!http://blogs.technet.com/b/skyhawk/archive/2006/12/09/the-sdk-update-for-fsx-has-released.aspx2006-12-10T07:40:00Z2006-12-10T07:40:00Z
Now that I actually may have a tiny, weeny bit more time to devote to external communications, I'd like to announce the availability of the Service Pack 1 (SP1) update for the FSX SDK. You can find it here: http://www.fsinsider.com/Community/Developers-Corner.

 This was a much tougher update to get out the door than any of us imagined - so I apologize for it's tardiness. However, I think it is adds immense value to any developer looking to build add-ons for FSX, so please take the time to download and install ASAP.

 Over the next few months I'm going to attempt to address issue here in my blog that we find to be points of confusion for people. I00 also encourage you to visit the FSDeveloper.com forum to find additional help or post answers to problems that you think others might find valuable (http://www.fsdeveloper.com/).

Michael Zyskowskihttp://blogs.technet.com/SkyHawk/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxYes, I have nothing to say...http://blogs.technet.com/b/skyhawk/archive/2006/03/22/422875.aspx2006-03-23T03:34:00Z2006-03-23T03:34:00Z
So my attempt at breaking the world record of silence between posts is now broken. Actually, it's been quite a busy year, and I have to admit that once time starts slipping away, it becomes more and more difficult to jump back into barely-started projects. But I digress...

The catalyst for this post is the recent news that the new Windows Vista operating system is, well, "not" slipping. That is, the scheduled release of Vista has been augmented to strategically maximize it's effectiveness to the consumer in such a way as to now be available in January '07. Ok, it's slipping.

I don't want to start a debate on the merits of this decision, why it's good for the consumer, and even better for Microsoft, but I do want to address how this affects the release of FSX.

That is, I have absolutely nothing to say.

I mean, nothing has changed.

Everything that has been said to this point still stands.

Re-read the FAQ posted on www.fsinsider.com if you must.

"We are working hard to deliver Flight Simulator X in the holiday 2006 timeframe."

I know this is just short of what you wanted to hear, but it's the best I can do right now. Stay tuned...

And now, another, hopefully shorter, period of silence until I have 10 minutes of uninterrupted time to blabber - I mean blog - again:).

Michael Zyskowskihttp://blogs.technet.com/SkyHawk/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxOpening Dayhttp://blogs.technet.com/b/skyhawk/archive/2005/11/09/414123.aspx2005-11-10T03:35:00Z2005-11-10T03:35:00Z
Welcome to my first forray into the world of blogging. Surprisingly easy to set up, I've spent more time worrying about what to write than it took to create the site in the first place. If you haven't given blogging any thought, I encourage you to start one today.

I should first give credit to Jason Waskey for the continual pestering it took to get me to jump on this. I also want to pay homage to all the other Flight Simulator Bloggers who have come before me:

Steve "Steve-Lacey" Lacey

Hal "HAL9000" Bryan

Adrian "Torgo3000" Woods

Mike "Taildragger" Gilbert

Sebastien "AKA Sebby" St-Laurent

Brian "Habibi" Hunt

Susan "Engaged" Ashlock

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p>Tim "Beatle" Gregson</o:p>

Thanks for taking a leadership role in this area!

I'm not going to spend a lot of time right off the bat with Jack Handy material, but I do want to say what a pleasure it is to work with such a fine bunch of folks on the Microsoft Flight Simulator Team. I've had the advantage of being part of the Test, Development and now Program Management organizations, all on Flight Simulator, and through these transitions I've gained valuable insight into how each of these teams work. With this knowledge, and the previous experience I have from the Aerospace Industry, I aim to significantly change the way we work with the Flight Simulator Community. The majority of my posts here will be work related, but the occasional personal tid bit will no doubt find it's way into my ramblings.

Thanks - and boy does it feel good to finally be part of the 21st Century!

This was my first trip to a Lebanese restaurant. The waiter was excellent - made suggestions, was attentive but allowed my friend and I plenty of privacy. Great atmosphere and did not feel rushed. I had the Taverna sampler with lamb and enjoyed it very much in terms of presentation and taste. Next time I'll be more adventurous with my selections but it was a great introduction to this cuisine.

For Rebecca, Halloween has always been special, an opportunity for her to cast off her sensible, ordinary self and assume a new look and a new identity: someone extraordinary, sensual and seductive.
When Halloween night finds her stranded by a breakdown in a seedy motel nearly a hundred miles from her friend's annual party, she's terribly frustrated and disappointed. Then she discovers that her room is haunted by the invisible but unquestionably virile ghost of a rake who seduced local women nearly half a century earlier. Gradually, the ghost unmasks Rebecca's secret desires, fulfilling every one.
By the time midnight tolls, Rebecca has come face to face with more magic than she had ever imagined.
This book contains scenes that some readers may find objectionable
It was as though I'd been cursed.
First, my boss sent me on an out-of-state sales trip for the day. That effectively nixed my plan to leave work early and help Christie get ready for her party. Then, as I was rushing to get back to the city, the trusty Taurus blew a gasket on an empty stretch of I-35 south of Emporia. The mechanic told me that the problem wouldn't be fixed before noon the next day.
The next day? I couldn't believe my bad luck. I was stuck until November 1st in some dinky town nearly a hundred miles from Kansas City. If the car had been my own, I would have found a bus or a cab home and come back after Halloween to pick it up. But of course it was the company's car, and I knew I'd catch hell if I abandoned it in some no-name garage.
The motel was the last straw. Maybe I could have consoled myself in a nice modern Holiday Inn or even a Super-8: taken a long hot shower, relaxed on the king-sized bed, and wallowed in self-pity while eating take-out pizza and sampling the mini-bar. The Ranch Motel, though, was the kind of relic that you'd think only exists in horror movies. The fake pine panelling was warped by damp. Staring at the wall, you felt that you were looking in a fun-house mirror. The furniture was pure Ozzie and Harriet, right down to the twin beds with their faux-colonial bedposts. The shower head dribbled even when shut tight; streaks of red stained the bottom of the bathtub. Rust, of course, but I couldn't suppress a little shiver at the gory appearance.
The grizzled desk clerk shook his head when I asked about restaurants, bars, any kind of local entertainment. "Closest food is the diner in Cottonwood Falls, eight miles back. But they don't deliver past six." He looked alarmed when he realised that I was on the verge of crying. "There's vending machines 'round back, Miss."
Seeing that this did not reassure me, he reached under the counter and brought out an unopened half-pint of cheap scotch. "Here, you can have this. Help you relax. And we've got satellite TV, too. Works most of the time."
I managed to swallow my tears and take the bottle. "Thanks. What about breakfast, though?"
"If you're awake by six tomorrow, I can run you into Emporia at the end of my shift."
"Thanks, I'd really appreciate that." I paused at the screen door, surveying the empty parking lot. "Expecting anyone else tonight?"
"Nope. Might get some late-night trucker, but they usually want a place with better —amenities, I think you call 'em."
"Yeah, that's right. Amenities." I tried not to be sarcastic. The old guy was working hard to be nice.
I strolled across the gravel on the way back to Room 7. It was crisp and breezy, but warm for October. A golden crescent moon hung near the horizon, across the fields of stubble that stretched in all directions. If I strained my ears, I could hear the distant hum of traffic on I-35. Otherwise, it was as quiet as the grave.
An appropriate comparison for Halloween. I threw myself down on the chenille spread, tears threatening again. Damn, damn, damn. Why tonight, of all nights? I checked my watch; it was just seven. Christie would be in costume already. She'd be lighting the candles, dumping the brandy into the witches' brew punch, laying out the tarot cards in preparation for her guests' arrival. I wanted to be there, more than I'd ever wanted anything.
You have to understand. For me, Halloween has always been special. When I was a child, I'd count the months and then the days. I'd spend weeks working on my costume, thrilling with anticipation of the moment when I'd actually put it on and become someone else. For a few glorious hours, I'd be a witch or a black widow spider, a gypsy or a pirate or a creature from outer space. On November 1st, I'd already be planning who I'd become on the next All Hallow's Eve.
I haven't changed. I still believe in magic. The air is still full of possibilities on Halloween. As I've gotten older, I've realised that some of the thrill is sexual. On Halloween, I become someone more exciting, more daring, more willing to take risks. I exchange my dirty blonde hair and B-cup breasts for raven tresses and a voluptuous cleavage, my suits and sensible heels for fishnets and stilettos. On Halloween, I flirt, I fascinate, I bewitch. I draw my lovers to me, attract them with the pure power of my lust.
Of course, I hadn't actually had a lover for nearly a year, since Jim packed up and moved to San Francisco. On Halloween, though, anything could happen.
To miss Halloween was a tragedy. To wait for another year, for my next chance... I couldn't bear it. I buried my face in the lumpy pillow and wailed at the injustice. What had I done to deserve this?
I cried until my eyes burned and my throat was sore. When I finally sat up again, the disappointment had settled in my chest as a dull ache. I poured several inches of the clerk's scotch into a flimsy disposable cup, and swallowed it in two gulps. The liquor soothed my throat but smouldered in my belly. In fact, I felt warm all over.
I stripped off my blouse and slacks and then helped myself to more of the scotch. Well, at least I could do our traditional midnight toast, even if it would be solitary. I considered calling Christie, but couldn't bring myself to that, not yet. I'd do it later, when I was drunker, and it didn't hurt so much.

A Lyrical Guide To Eating Vegetables
Follow these tips from popular artists to ensure you're eating your greens.
In case you didn't hear, yesterday, Monday, June 17th, was Vegetable Awareness Day. So we've gotta ask: are you getting your recommended 6-8 servings of fruits and vegetables each day? If not, we're here to help. Here are some tips, found in some of pop's biggest lyrics, to help ensure you get your daily intake of greens.
Tip #1: Carrots are everybody's favorite veggie, so bring enough to share!
"Now even now they eating out / The palm of my hand / There's only one carrot / And they all gotta share it" — Bruno Mars, "Runaway Baby"
Even if you're not huge into veggies, carrots can make for a great go-to snack. But bring enough of this fan favorite to share with the whole group or you'll be left empty handed.
Tip #2: Keep an eye on your broccoli
"They know I got that broccoli, so I keep that glock with me / Don't get caught without one, comin' from where I'm from" — Young Jeezy ft. Kanye West, "Put On"
Take it from Young Jeezy — you can't be too overprotective when it comes to your broccoli. This particular veggie comes chalk full of Vitamin C and dietary fiber, not to mention a number of anti-cancer nutrients. Get it if you know what's good.
Tip #3: Spinach does the body good
"Ten spoons of spinach / The soul and the spillage / The cup that runneth over / Return of the 'O God'" — Gorillaz, "All Alone"
If you're wondering about portion control when it comes to this green leafy veggie, a good ten spoonfuls is perfect. Thanks, Gorillaz!
Tip #4: Track down that lettuce
"Never fuss or fight, on the grind tryna find this lettuce" — J. Cole ft. Trey Songz, "Can't Get Enough"
One of the easiest vegetable pairings is, well, lettuce with anything! Since it's essentially tasteless, jazz it up with whatever you like. It's worth hunting for. Just ask J. Cole.
Tip #5: Pick your own peppers
"Peter Piper picked peppers but Tab rocked rhymes / 1,2,3,4, several times" — Sergio Mendes ft. Black Eyed Peas, "Mas Que Nada"
You don't have to be Peter Piper to tend to a garden. What's more satisfying than getting the freshest veggies imaginable? Get out there, pick your own, and reap the reward.
