The results showed that longer duration of diabetes was associated with brain volume loss, particularly in the gray matter. However, the study found no association of diabetes characteristics with small vessel ischemic disease in the brain.
"Diabetes duration correlated primarily with brain atrophy," Dr. Bryan said. "Stated another way, our results suggested that, for every 10 years of diabetes duration, the brain of a patient with diabetes looks approximately two years older than that of a non-diabetic person, in terms of gray matter volume."
The researchers noted that their findings may have implications for future decline of cognitive function in patients with diabetes and raise the possibility that such cognitive changes might not be strongly related to vascular dementia but to neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Speed of Light Upset May Be Result of Loose WirePosted on Feb 22, 2012
Remember the announcement that shocked the physics world last September? Scientists claimed to have measured a neutrino traveling faster than the speed of light—a feat that would have undone Einstein, if, that is, the measurement proves not to have been the result of a bad connection between a GPS unit and a computer, as researchers now suspect. —ARK Advertisement Square, Site wide Previous item: 'SNL' Helps Take Down Invasive Ultrasound Requirement Next item: U.N.

I know we hear it all the time: Pretend play is important. It's something that is expected of three year olds. But sometimes I forget how vivid their stories can become!
Friday morning I was quietly eating my breakfast, having finished feeding both girls. All the sudden, Honeygirl came running up to me. "Mama! We need to go to the hospital right. now. The baby is coming!"
Huh? What is she talking about? Then I looked down. Sure enough, there was a baby doll tucked securely up in her sweater. And apparently it was about to come out.
I calmly informed her that after I finished my breakfast we could go. In the meantime, she rounded up Sweet Pea and the travel vest. As soon as the last bite had made it's way into my mouth, she was back and ready to go!
"Sweet Pea needs to wear the travel vest." Okaaay. We all held hands and walked to the living room, where Honeygirl promptly informed me that the couch was the hospital bed. I told her to let us know when the baby was coming. However, since she knows what I do for a living, she quickly informed me that I needed to be her nurse. (I would love it if she still felt this way when she was actually old enough to be having a baby!)
After declaring that her temperature and blood pressure were good, Sweet Pea and I headed to the piano to entertain ourselves while we waited. After all, every laboring mama needs music, right? Pretty soon, Honeygirl called for me, informing me the baby was coming! She pulled it out of her sweater with a look of wonder on her face. As the baby cried (courtesy of me!), I wiped it off and wrapped it up for her. I wanted to laugh at how in love with his baby she looked. I mean, it was just an elaborate pretend scene. And yet, this little girl looked like someone who really had just experienced the wonder of birth.
Sometimes I just want to laugh at how different things play out at our house of girls. Honeygirl's bestest little buddy C plays cowboy and tries to lasso his brother. He loves rocket ships and cars and dinosaurs. And my three year old gives birth a couple times a week. Oh goodness! But I'm so thankful at how she was made. My little compassionate, princess mama.

Independent 7,683 / Dac
Posted by RatkojaRiku on June 1st, 2011
Owing to a mix-up over dates on my part, I missed my last Wednesday blog four weeks ago (and thus my opportunity to blog a Dac puzzle), and I think I was beginning to suffer withdrawal symptoms. What a pleasant feeling it is as a blogger to be able to enjoy solving a puzzle AND to know that when it comes to writing the blog, you will be able to present the reader with a set of reliably parsed solutions!
The entries that I struggled most with today were at 3 and 13: with 13 I just couldn't get Little Red Riding Hood out of my head, while with 3, although I spotted the second word easily, the first word proved highly elusive, since both "bound" and "milk" change their grammatical form surface reading to wordplay.
I very much appreciated the surface readings in 1, 2 and above all 5. My favourite, however, was 23: I guessed the answer from the letters, but was foxed by "leaves" for a long time, as I did not spot yet another change in part of speech.
*(…) indicates an anagram
Across | ||
1 | COSH | COS (SOC=society; "in recession" indicates reversal) + H (=hard, as in HB pencils) |
3 | HOUSE PARTY | [USE (=milk, as a verb, i.e. exploit) in HOP (=bound, as a verb/noun, i.e. jump)] + ARTY (=cultured) |
9 | ERSE | Hidden in "… writERS Especially …"; "used by" indicates hidden answer. |
10 | TARANTELLA | [RAN (=organised) in TATE (=art venue, i.e. gallery in London)] + LLA (ALL=everybody; "doing the twist" indicates reversal) |
11 | PREACHINESS | <m>ACHINE (=powerful group, as in the Communist machine; "deposing leader" means first letter dropped) in PRESS (=newspapers) |
15 | INDIE | IN (=much favoured, i.e. popular, fashionable) + D (=daughter) + I.E. (=that is, id est in Latin) |
16 | WRITE DOWN | Homophone of "right down" (=towards bottom of charts); "do you say?" is homophone indicator. |
17 | LANDSCAPE | LANDS (=acquires, e.g. a job) + CAPE (=costume for Batman) |
18 | INDRA | IN (=during) + DRA<w> (=game, as in no-score draw; "finally abandoned" means last letter dropped); Indra is the Hindu god of the firmament and of rain, hence "cause of rain". |
19 | BRECONSHIRE | *(ONE RICH SERB); "resettled" is anagram indicator; Breconshire was one of the thirteen historic counties of Wales. |
23 | SALVADORAN | V (=five, in Roman numerals) in [SALAD (=leaves) + ORAN (=port in Algeria)] |
24 | OGRE | Hidden in "…alsO GREedy…"; "to some extent" indicates a hidden answer; & lit. |
25 | EXPEDITION | Double definition: EXPEDITION means "speed", haste AND "journey", outing. |
26 | FRET | RE (=about) in FT (=daily newspaper, i.e. Financial Times) |
Down | ||
1 | CAERPHILLY | *(<s>PHERICALLY); "slice top off" means first letter dropped; Caerphilly is an "item from cheeseboard" (=solution at 12) |
2 | SUSPENDING | US (=the States) in SPENDING (=consumerism) |
4 | OMANI | IN A MO (=shortly, i.e. abbreviation of "in a moment"); "turned up" indicates a vertical reversal. |
5 | SLATE MINE | *(MAIN STEEL); "works" is anagram indicator and fits the surface reading of the clue perfectly. |
6 | PATISSERIES | P<ies> A<nd> T<arts> ("first of all" means first letter only of each is used) + IS + SERIES (=order, i.e. sequence); & lit. |
7 | RILL | <b>RILL (=fish; "headless" means first letter dropped) |
8 | YEAR | YEAR<n> (=long (for), as a verb; "never-ending" means last letter dropped) |
12 | CHEESEBOARD | *(OBESE) in *(CHE<d>DAR); "daughter's cut" means the "d" is dropped; "sort" and "fresh" are anagram indicators; & lit. |
13 | GOLDFINGER | [OLD (=getting on, i.e. ageing) + F (=female)] in GINGER (=red, as of hair); the definition is "film villain", from the James Bond film of the same name from 1964. |
14 | ENGAGEMENT | Double definition: ENGAGEMENT is "one's intended (=fiancé) to be part of this" AND "battle", military action. |
16 | WEASEL OUT | EASEL (=support, i.e. for artist) in [W (=wife) + OUT (=determined, as in "to be out to do something")] |
20 | OTAGO | O (=old) + *(GOAT); "wild" is anagram indicator; Otago is a region of New Zealand, located on the South Island. |
21 | ASHE | A + SHE (=female); the reference is to the African-American tennis player Arthur Ashe, who won Wimbledon in 1975. |
22 | SLIP | Double definition: SLIP is "cricketer", i.e. one of the fielders next to the wicketkeeper AND decline, lapse, deteriorate. |

There had been rumors for years that the Cathedral Park Jazz Festival was at death's door and when checks to musicians bounced at the end of last year's festival and there were disputes all around. OMN was actually working on a story about those disputes when we ran into Mary-Sue Tobin at Tony Starlight's. She eagerly broke the news that she was working with some folks who had taken over the festival and were bringing it back to life
Well, here it is. From Friday, July 20 through Sunday, July 22 under the lovely St. John's Bridge, the scene pictured above will take place and the park will sing with music.
First the schedule, then OMN's best bets:
Friday, July 20th
5:00pm – Martin Zarzar (of Pink Martini)
Watch the OMN interview with him on his new album.
6:15pm – Demolition Duo
"Improvised fire music" of flutist John Savage and drummer Ken Ollis
7:00pm – The Tim Willcox Quartet
He plays, he composes, he even writes (at times). Great chops, splendid ideas, wicked sense of humor.Get yourself a serious dose.
8:15pm – Libertine Belles
Vocal trio with trashcan bass, washboard, swinging ukulele and cornet. If the Andrews Sisters were bad girls. (Who knows, maybe they were?)READ THE REST at OregonMusicNews.com

dc.description.abstract | In this lecture I review some of the issues that meta-theorizing was supposed to address in international relations and show how this project of securing knowledge through hierarchization and finding absolute foundations failed. Basically I argue that since neither the 'order of being' nor the categories of the mind provide an unproblematic and trans-historically valid Archimedean point that allows for an incontestable 'view from nowhere', the traditional epistemological project cannot make good on its promise. I'm trying to refute the twin fallacies that seem to fuel much of the hypertrophic concern with epistemology: First, that in the absence of secure universally valid and trans-historically established criteria everything becomes 'relative' and that, therefore, the adherents of a more critical or pragmatic orientation towards knowledge have to be either nihilists or charlatans since they deny 'truth'. Second, since the foundationalist claims of traditional epistemology can be shown to be faulty, indeed 'anything goes' and we need not worry about criteria that warrant our knowledge claims. Here relatively mindless research activism or some form of pragmatism at basement prices is supposed to take care of the problems. I argue for a pragmatic turn in theorizing not in the hope of having now found a new foundation after the failure of the epistemological project, but with the understanding that such a turn represents a good bet in pursuing our research while remaining attentive to the importance of meta-theoretical issues that arise in its course. | en |

Logitech Harmony 688 Remote Control Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Home Entertainment, Product Reviews
If there is one thing I have learned, it's that universal remotes are never truly universal. You can go through hours and hours of setup, and there will be that one little detail that makes it remain undone. Then I heard about the Logitech Harmony 688 remote. Thre is barely any configuration here, as the remote connects via USB through your PC to an online remote code database. After just 48 hours, I have seen the light. Simply put, the Harmony 688 is the absolute best remote control I have had the pleasure to use. Ever. Find out why after the jump.

The CCNY Art Department Symposium.

Alexandra Munroe, Curator, Samsung Senior Curator of Asian Art, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Jorge Daniel Veneciano
Director, El Museo del Barrio
Moderator & Discussant:
James Elkins
E. C. Chadbourne Chair of Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Globalization is the condition of art today. It is unsystematically reshaping the frameworks of art history and art institutions as scholars, curators, and the market experiment with answers to its challenges. How are we right now remaking the idea of modern art to recognize the world's regional modernisms? How are we querying processes of globalization in contemporary art without the luxury of critical distance? The symposium examines the decisions that make global art markets, canons, and values and the ways these decisions are made, critiqued or potentially unmade. In short, this symposium seeks to look critically at the experimentation that globalization brings to the present moment in the arts. We foreground institutions in New York City to consider how cosmopolitan centers give different inflections to global art and how global conversations dominate local ones.

Murphy-Goode The Fume 2010
Sauvignon Blanc from North Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
The 2010 Fumé was predominately fermented in stainless steel to retain the expression of bright citrus and tropical fruit aromatics while the balance was barrel fermented in French and American oak to increase the mouthfeel and develop lush flavors of white peach and honeydew melon. The Semillon adds wonderful expressions of floral notes and adds nice texture.
"The Fumé" pairs great with lots of food, such as shellfish and thai chicken, but it pairs just as well with you relaxing poolside.
Critical Acclaim
Tasting Panel - "Fresh, clean and alive with citrus and tropical fruit; juicy, ripe and balanced with lots of charm and depth."
Murphy-Goode Winery
Twenty years ago, Tim Murphy, Dale Goode and Dave Ready shared a vision: grow distinctive grapes, produce delicious wine, have fun and make friends in the process. They founded their three-family partnership in 1985 and launched the brand with two wines: estate grown Fumé Blanc and Chardonnay. In the beginning, only the Murphy family's ranch and the Murphy-Goode Vineyard provided the grapes. Over the years, Murphy-Goode Winery steadily increased production, expanding the winery capacity and augmenting the harvest with fruit from the winery's "grower partners," local farmers and neighbors who shared the Murphy-Goode vision.
Initially the partners custom-crushed their grapes at a neighboring winery; consultant Merry Edwards guided the winemaking. After constructing a modest production facility on Tim Murphy's Alexander Valley ranch in 1987, they hired Winemaker Christina Benz. Chris made fifteen vintages of Murphy-Goode wine before turning the winemaking over to David Ready Jr. in 2001.
In recent years, the winery's focus has shifted from primarily white wine to distinctive red wines, particularly Bordeaux blends. Today, Murphy's three sons oversee the vineyards. Dave Ready's two sons make the wine. With exceptional grapes, inspired winemaking and the guiding values of the founding partners, the Murphy-Goode team is entering a fresh, new era of excellence.

About North Coast
View a map of North Coast wineriesBeyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable Facts
Mendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.About California
It's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

I'm not sure quite how you might take advantage of it for optimisation, but the possible decompositions are restricted by the mod 3 equivalences. That is: so if we split the T_n sequence into A_n (== 0) and B_n (== 1) the possible decompositions are restricted such that: You can get similar restrictions by considering other prime moduli, but 3 is likely to be the most beneficial because it has a shorter than possible cycle in T_n. Also, a word of warning on your p_tri() routine - the final result relies on comparing a floating point number for equality, normally considered a bad idea. It would be preferable to do the test instead by calculating from $t back up to the last known integer value, something like: Hugo

ISLAMABAD: In a day and age where people in Pakistan have a choice from close to 100 public and private television channels, there are few there where one can turn to for greater interfaith harmony. To remedy this, the Minister of State for National Harmony intends to launch a television channel for that single purpose.
With the onset of Ramazan, most television channels will swap their regular programming schedules for one which is more tailored to the religious sensitivities of the majority Muslim demographic. However, the state owned and operated interfaith harmony channel has a single objective, promote peace, moderation and tolerance within the multiplicity of Pakistan's society.
The Minister of State Akram Masih Gill Wednesday divulged details of the process to launch the television channel while addressing a "Peace Conference" organised by the National Commission for Interfaith Harmony and Human Rights Pakistan(NCIHP) at the Islamabad based National Press Club (NPC).
Minister of State stressed the need to promote moderation, tolerance and inter-faith harmony in order to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the society especially in the current national scenario.
Gill expressed his commitment to continue efforts aimed at promoting interfaith harmony and creating understanding and accommodation among different societies.

Inshallah they will choose the real peace channel The muslim television Ahmadiyya for genuine promotion of true peace for pakistan , only then they will witness real peace and put an end to hate in that country , Ya allah guide them to find true peace and harmony by accepting the imam of the age Mirza ghulam Ahmad(as) and save their people and country from further distruction (amin)
July 24, 2012 at 4:44 am
Let us hope that the new channel not only covers peace between religions, but, also between sects.
July 24, 2012 at 6:36 am
I Advise that Like the present Prime Minister of Pakistan said in his a press statement,The said Tv also express and copy, rather practically implement the Mottos of Jammat_E-Ahmaddiya to achieve the real success.

So I have made quite a long thread for this, but for those who doesn't like to read, I have made it up in several smaller topics, where I state a "fact" and if you want to know my view and evidence for it, click on the spoiler..
1. Hyuga has a special seal to avoid enemies from obtaining the secrets about the byakugan.
2. Uchiha does not have a seal or anything else to prevent enemies from obtaining the secrets about the sharingan.
3. There should have been plenty of possibilities for enemies to steal sharingans during war time or ambushes.
4. The sharingan can work with shinobi who doesn't have Uchiha blood.
5. Perhaps an Uchiha is trained to destroy their eyes, when in a situation where they are about to die or be captured.
6. Other villages must have acquired a few sharingan during the many years the villages and wars have existed, but they must have been destroyed later or taken by Konoha, or others.
7. My conclusion in spoiler:

firefox i386 22.214.171.124-0.el4.1.centos4
Hi all I am using CentOS 4.3 and my default language is Japanese. I am using firefox with Japanese language. I installed firefox i386 22.214.171.124-0.el4.1.centos4 update 15 M on my computer via yum yesterday. CentOS 4.3 has been acting strange! Japanese language on firefix has gone and English seems to be default language on firefox. I simply removed firefox 184.108.40.206-0.el4.1.centos4 and reinstalled firefox 1.0.7-1.4.3.centos4, so I can use firefox with Japanese language. Would you know why this is happening? Is this happening only to me? I installed firefox extensions on firefox 1.0.7-1.4.3.centos4. Does it affect on firefox i386 126.96.36.199-0.el4.1.centos4? Thanks.

Tuckamore Announces Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Tuckamore Announces Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results08:00 EDT Tuesday, August 14, 2012TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 14, 2012) - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATESTuckamore Capital (TSX:TX)(TSX:TX.DB.B)(TSX:TX.DB.C) today announced its results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.Second Quarter Results6 months6 months($ millions, except per share amounts)Q2 2012Q2 201120122011Revenue191.7145.1364.7281.3Gross profit34.231.667.959.7Selling, general & administrative expenses26.522.753.746.3Net (loss) income from continuing operations(5.6)(2.9)(13.9)18.2Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations7.78.814.112.4Basic (loss) income per share from continuing operations(0.08)(0.04)(0.20)0.25Revenue for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2012 was $191.7 million and $364.7 million, versus $145.1 million and $281.3 million produced in 2011. Gross profit for three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $34.2 million and $67.9 million representing a gross profit margin of 17.8% and 18.6%. For the same period last year, the Company reported gross profit of $31.6 million and $59.7 million representing a gross profit margin of 21.8% and 21.2% percent. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.7 million and $14.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $8.8 million and $12.4 million for the corresponding periods in 2011.INDUSTRIAL SERVICESIn the Industrial Services Quantum Murray had a disappointing quarter, recording an EBITDA loss. Project cost overruns and the lack of large industrial projects in the Demolition division drove the poor results. The Environmental division results were down compared to last year when several large remediation projects were underway. At the Metals division, there were increased volumes, however lower scrap prices offset these gains.At ClearStream, the Conventional Industrial Services division benefited from increased activity levels across all regions. The Fabrication division also had a busy quarter as work continues to be performed on large module contracts. The Oil sands and Transportation divisions had increased volumes compared to the prior year as activity in the region continues to ramp up. The Wear division had lower revenues in the quarter due to the delay in overlay pipe orders from a significant client.MARKETINGThe Marketing segment had mixed results in the quarter. Gemma had a challenging quarter with revenues decreased in comparison to the same quarter in prior year due to reduction in outbound telesales with key clients and the elimination of higher margin programs. IC Group had improved results compared to the prior year due to increased sales to existing customers and improved margins from operational efficiencies.OTHERGusgo continues to realize improved results over the previous year due to an increase in volumes from one of its' larger clients and business from a new significant client.For Titan, economic activity in the general construction industry and oil sands development has remained strong compared to last year. Sales of higher margin products contributed to the year over year results improvement.THIRD QUARTER OUTLOOKThe overall outlook for the next quarter is optimistic. The third quarter is a seasonally busier quarter and ClearStream is expected to continue the trend of increased business activity due to the stimulated oil and gas industry. The Conventional Industrial Services division is expecting increased volumes as the year progresses with the start-up of a new significant contract and other new business coming on line. The Fabrication division is also expecting a busy third quarter as work continues on several large Module contracts. The Oil sands division has several new opportunities starting in the next quarter which will add to the existing customer base. The transportation division is expecting continued success with capital investment needed to meet the ever growing demand for these services. The Wear technology division had a slow start to the year, however business in the second half of the year is expected to improve as new contracts have been signed and are being executed. The challenge will be to secure skilled labor to complete the work and to ensure sufficient working capital funding to support the growth.At Quantum Murray there will be a continued focus on project bidding and cost management at the Demolition division. The Environmental division has a healthy backlog which should translate into solid results in the upcoming quarter. There is uncertainty for the next quarter at the Metal division due to unstable scrap prices.Within the marketing segment, the outlook is mixed with results similar to the second quarter expected for the third quarter. At Gemma, the results for the second half of the year are expected to be improved from the first half of the year as successful client development efforts materialize and volumes with existing clients are expected to increase. The IC Group is anticipating further growth, with a focus on stimulating its specialized insurance business and continued growth with existing clients as they move more lines of their businesses to the IC Group.In the other segment, both Titan and Gusgo are expecting a solid third quarter. At Titan, the fall buying season is expected to be robust for rigging products, while snow removal inventory carryover may reduce normal revenue levels for this product line. Gusgo is expecting comparable results to the first half of the year. About Tuckamore Tuckamore has investments in 7 businesses representing a diverse cross-section of the Canadian economy.Forward-looking informationThis press release contains certain forward-looking information. Certain information included in this press release may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of securities laws. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential", "continue" or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking information may relate to management's future outlook and anticipated events or results and may include statements or information regarding the future plans or prospects of Tuckamore or the Operating Partnerships and reflects management's expectations and assumptions regarding the growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities of Tuckamore and the Operating Partnerships. Without limitation, information regarding the future operating results and economic performance of Tuckamore and the Operating Partnerships constitute forward-looking information. Such forward-looking information reflects management's current beliefs and is based on information currently available to management of Tuckamore and the Operating Partnerships. Forward-looking information involves significant risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events and results discussed in the forward-looking information including risks related to investments, conditions of capital markets, economic conditions, dependence on key personnel, limited customer bases, interest rates, regulatory change, ability to meet working capital requirements and capital expenditures needs of the Operating Partners, factors relating to the weather and availability of labour. These factors should not be considered exhaustive. In addition, in evaluating this information, investors should specifically consider various factors, including the risks outlined under "Risk Factors," which may cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. In formulating forward-looking information herein, management has assumed that business and economic conditions affecting Tuckamore and the Operating Partnerships will continue substantially in the ordinary course, including without limitation with respect to general levels of economic activity, regulations, taxes and interest rates. Although the forward-looking information is based on what management of Tuckamore and the Operating Partnerships consider to be reasonable assumptions based on information currently available to it, there can be no assurance that actual events or results will be consistent with this forward-looking information, and management's assumptions may prove to be incorrect. This forward-looking information is made as of the date of this press release, and Tuckamore does not assume any obligation to update or revise it to reflect new events or circumstances except as required by law. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information. Tuckamore is providing the forward-looking financial information set out in this PRESS RELEASE for the purpose of providing investors with some context for the "Third Quarter Outlook" presented. Readers are cautioned that this information may not be appropriate for any other purpose.Non-standard measuresThe terms "EBITDA" and "adjusted EBITDA", (collectively the "Non-IFRS measures") are financial measures used in this press release that are not standard measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Tuckamore's method of calculating Non-IFRS measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, Tuckamore's Non-IFRS measures, as presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.EBITDA refers to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS, before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense. EBITDA is used by management and the Directors as well as many investors to determine the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management also uses EBITDA to monitor the performance of Tuckamore's reportable segments and believes that in addition to net income or loss and cash provided by operating activities, EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine Tuckamore's ability to generate cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, income taxes and distributions. Tuckamore has provided a reconciliation of income to EBITDA in its press release.Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA excluding the gain or loss on reduction or sale of ownership interest (dilution gains or losses), the write-down of goodwill and intangible assets, restructuring costs, gain on re-measurement of investments, gain on debt extinguishment, fair value adjustments on stock based compensation expense and the impairment of long-term investments. Tuckamore has used Adjusted EBITDA as the basis for the analysis of its past operating financial performance.

Need help w/ West Virginia resorts
I Live in Lexington, KY and I am taking my girlfriend on a boarding trip to WV. I've been to Snowshoe and winterplace before so I know what they are all about. I Plan on going to snowshoe on day one, then either Cannan Valley or Timberline on day two then on the way back to Kentucky stoping at Winterplace on the third day.
I'm definately going to winterplace adn snowshoe since snowshoe is the best and winter place is on the way. So is it worth the money and the time to go to cannan valley or timberline? Also, which one do you prefer? |

I've been to Timberline a bunch and it is pretty decent. I have always enjoyed myself there. Also, if either you or your gf are beginners, they have a green slope that is hella long. I used to spend a lot of time on it when I was learning.
Their blues are pretty good too, I would recommend it. I've never been to canaan before though Timberline's mountain is definitely higher quality slopes than winterplace, almost as good as snowshoe, if that gives you a better idea |

She's a beginner of sorts, she went to big sky montana w/ some buddies and I this winter and she got fairly decent but we'll be sticking to mainly blue and greens. I may ride a couple blacks but I dont think shes gonna like riding by herself for all that long. Thanks for the input, I didnt think this thread had a chance in hell of getting replied to. Also, do you know how far a drive it is from Snowshoe to Timberline?

Stay at Snowshoe. It's much better than Timberline or Canaan. Timberline is fun, but way smaller than Snowshoe and not nearly as good a mountain. Canaan sucks, I would not go there at all. Timberline is much better than Canaan. If you do go to Timberline check out Davis, WV for dinner after riding. There is a pizza place on the main strip thru Davis(can't remember the name of the place) that is incredible.

We have developed techniques called Mobile Group Dynamics (MGDs), which help groups of people to work together while they travel around large-scale virtual environments. MGDs explicitly showed the groups that people had formed themselves into, and helped people move around together and communicate over extended distances. The techniques were evaluated in the context of an urban planning application, by providing one batch of participants with MGDs and another with an interface based on conventional collaborative virtual environments (CVEs). Participants with MGDs spent nearly twice as much time in close proximity (within 10m of their nearest neighbor), communicated seven times more than participants with a conventional interface, and exhibitedreal-world patterns of behavior such as staying together over an extended period of time and regrouping after periods of separation. The study has implications for CVE designers, because it shows how MGDs improves groupwork in CVEs.

Paynesville Press - July 10, 2001
Strange weather has long history in Paynesville
The past few months have been full of weather surprises.
Back in April when my daughter started fast pitch softball, the first few games had to be cancelled secondary to the fields being covered with snow. Then came the plentiful rains and a few more games were rescheduled. More recently we have had to contend with the excessive heat and humidity.
The Fourth of July weekend weather was no exception. The high temperature and unbearable humidity, while making for wonderful lake activity weather, was not fun for spectators and participants in softball. The high humidity seemed a set-up for a bad storm and had my family wondering if the Koronis fireworks, scheduled for Saturday, July 6, would be held.
As we left for a return Saturday evening trip to the cabin, the weather forecast was on one of the local channels. A huge storm cloud had formed over the central part of the state and the only town in the warning area that the announcer listed was "Paynesville." It stormed on and off on our route to the cabin and it seemed that the fireworks display would be doomed.
Weather was often the topic in old issues of the New Paynesville/ Paynesville Press. Over a hundred years ago in 1901, the high temperature was the topic. "Saturday was not only the hottest ever noted in Minnesota ュ 105 in the shade ュ but the present is the longest spell of continuous hot weather on record. This is the thirteenth successive day on which the thermometer has registered above 95 at some time during the day and the average temperature for the period has been 85ー. Three weeks ago people were praying that it might cease raining. Today a lighted match dropped in the grass will start a prosperous prairie fire."
In July 1903, rain was more of problem than high temperatures. "Lake Koronis continues to rise at the rate of about four inches each twenty-four hours. The water now lacks but very little of running over the low spots in the grade between the old and new landings." The old landing was located near the former Donna's Bed and Breakfast and the new landing was near the current Veteran's Park location.
Early August 1903 brought more challenges with weather. "The rain storm Tuesday evening was next to the heaviest that has visited this section this summer. It was accompanied by considerable hail, which is reported to have done some damage to growing crops in several localities north of the village. At Eden Valley a high wind prevailed which demolished the new village water tower and the Soo Line windmill."
Just as the storms from this past weekend passed Paynesville, so did a storm in August 1907. "This village was once more remarkably fortunate in escaping the severe storm of Sunday evening which passed to the south of Lake Koronis and swept all the territory from this point east through Minneapolis and St. Paul and on into Wisconsin. Only a sprinkle of rain fell here and there was a slight puff of wind. South of the lake a torrent of water fell and the wind hit off a sixty-mile clip."
Dry weather and rain were the topic again in May 1905. "Nearly three inches of water fell Tuesday afternoon and evening, and another like amount last evening, effectually breaking the long dry spell. Some of the farmers south of the lake complain that the fall was so heavy that much grain has been washed out."
A headline in the Press on July 10, 1913, read, "Tornado at Paynesville." The weather in the evening on the 4th of July had turned to rain and wind. By 7 p.m. the storm reached its worst and caused damage to several of Paynesville's buildings and surrounding farms. Most of the storm seemed to strike the south side of town. "The new high school building which was finished about a year ago was unroofed and thoroughly drenched on the inside from the rain that followed. The damage is estimated on the building at $7,000. It was fully insured, having $10,000 tornado insurance on the building. W. O. Kruger, Chas. Kruger, Otto Nagel, C. Rein, and Charles Ralph all lost their barns and a large number of barns and outbuildings were damaged by the wind and the blowing of debris of other buildings into them. The new barn that Mr. Boylan is building on the site of the one that burned down a month ago was pierced on the south side by a number of timbers from the barns that were blown down. Mrs. R. Kelly's and Christ Rein's houses were badly wrecked with the storm. The tent in which the chautauqua was being held was laid flat and the merry-go-round that was operating in the east part of town was wrecked."
We arrived at the cabin to find that Koronis had not received any of the bad weather predicted by the weather forecasters. However, Mother Nature provided her own interesting backdrop for the 2002 fireworks display from the first island. Periodically lightning lit up the clouded sky and added to the multi-colored fireworks display. The combination of nature and man-made beauty was quite a sight and also a reminder of just how impressive a part that weather has on our view from the lake.

SHAWNEE – Missed opportunities were the story for the Durant Lions Thursday night, dropping a 7-2 decision on the road against district-leading Shawnee.
The Lions had their chances while loading the bases in each of the first two innings but failed to score any runs in either frame. In total, Durant stranded 14 base runners.
Shawnee meanwhile cashed in most of its chances coupling a pair of hits around a Lion error in the first frame to plate three runs. The Wolves tacked on two more in the third and another in the fourth to build a 6-0 lead.
Durant mounted a comeback bid in the fifth by capitalizing on two errors by the hosts to plate two runs but that proved to be it.
Dakota Finley posted a pair of hits to lead the Lion attack. Matthew Knox chipped in a double while Cooper Webb, Brandon Robison, Austin Joines and Tyler Stovall added a single apiece.
The Lions return home Monday to face off with Ada for their next action before the McAlester 5A Shootout, which is slated to begin Thursday.
