HOOLIGANS; INSIDE THE BRUTAL WORLD OF BLUES ZULU WARRIORS Everyone was fighting in the road. A few lads grabbed a woman police officer and dragged her around by her ankles.
A MIDLAND woman has spilled the beans on football hooligans after spending a year with Birmingham City's notorious Zulu Warriors. Caroline Gall has revealed how the soccer thugs dragged a policewoman round by the ankles during a violent battle with Aston Villa supporters.
Yet she describes most of the gang's leaders as 'complete gentlemen' in a book she has written.
She became 'intrigued' by the violent world of football hooliganism after becoming friends with one of the group's leading members.
Her book, titled Zulus, charts the history of the 'firm' from its origins in the early 1980s when it evolved from a gang known as the Apex.
It includes first-hand accounts of clashes between Blues fans and opposing supporters, including a graphic description of the Battle of Rocky Lane in 2002 with rival Villa fans.
According to one hooligan named Cud: "We heard a mad roar and saw Villa at the top of the hill.
"We went running up to them. We made the famous Zulu line which very rarely gets broken, and it didn't this time.
"All the lads were having it, with the shout to 'stand' going up while everyone was fighting in the road.
"A few lads grabbed a woman police officer and dragged her around the floor by her ankles"It was a proper battle and Villa just stood there in shock."
Other chapters recount police operations against the thugs, including Operation Red Card which led to the arrest of Zulu hooligans in dawn raids.
Journalist Caroline, 32, from Worcestershire, said: "Spending time with the Zulus completely changed my view of what a typical hooligan is like.
"Most of the main guys in the Zulus turned out to be complete gentlemen and there was never any difficulties about me being a woman.
"It came as a surprise to all my family and friends when I told them I was writing this book but they realised this was something I really wanted to do.
"It's been a real adventure and has opened my eyes up to a very male-dominated and secret world. I hope it will help give everyone a better understanding of these guys and what drives them."
Ellis Cashmore, a sports professor at Staffordshire University, said he wasn't surprised that a female had written a book about such a macho world.
"She's certainly the first woman to ever write such a bookbut I'mnot that surprised," he said. "Studies have shown for years now that women are excited by violence just as much as men are"There has certainly been an increase in women mimicking the laddish culture of hard drinking and generally being uncouth and brash.
"Women are still very much a minority when it comes to taking to the terraces but there have been incidents of women being banned from clubs for football-related violence."
He added: "There has been a plethora of books about football hooliganism and they do glamorise the violence attached to that lifestyle.
"But the bottom line is that there is a market for these books and people are eager to read about it."
He said football hooligans were often depicted as mindless thugs who have no real interest in the clubs they claim to represent.
But he added: "In reality I would say most so-called football hooligans are true, genuine and loyal supporters

Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said Tehran will never give up its nuclear programme.
The comments from Khamenei comes as he backed talks with world powers, adding that Iran had agreed to the talks to 'break the hostile atmosphere' with the international community.
Khamenei told a gathering of nuclear scientists that Tehran agreed to the talks to show the international community that it was not seeking nuclear weapons, the BBC reports.
He told negotiators not to accept any coercive words from the other party', adding that none of the country's nuclear achievements can be stopped, and no one has the right to bargain over it.
According to the report, under the interim agreement, which was agreed in January, Iran froze certain nuclear activities for six months in exchange for a partial lifting of sanctions.
The world powers now want Iran to agree to permanently reduce the scope of its enrichment programme and to give UN inspectors more oversight, the report added.

That is what it owner said to me when I asked to take a 'poke'
Well it does work - it fires up that is- the touch pad control works fine
So I thought a good clean up- de frag will do the trick-- but--
It's probleem seems to be that although the pointer moves around the screen and I get the hour glass as a click the appropriate icon/file simply does not respond or takes a great deal of time to get going and then respond once more to another command,
So the question is- when I eventually get it to carry out the normal defrag- clean up etc., will there still be an underlying problem?

A defrag won't do any harm and there's only one way to find out the difference it makes and that is by running it - when you get it to run of course.

There is a movement onward - into trouble that is. It can take 20 minutes or so for a mouse click to activate. So I thought - dig out a Windows disk- run it to Install then proceed to 'R' to repair.
I ran a Head cleaner disk first[ reason if the machine is so neglected it probably could do with that]
Inserted the Windows disk
Eventually the page came up
clicked on Install
And what did I get?
I'll tell you -- 'Not Responding'
Next move?

Big price for inaugural pomp; much private money
For this inaugural, some public money has already been set aside.
-The Architect of the Capitol has $4.2 million to spruce up the Capitol grounds for the swearing-in ceremony on the west front. That money also pays for the inaugural platform under construction, along with bleachers and barricades.
-Nearly $2 million has been approved for U.S. Capitol Police.
-$1.2 million has been budgeted for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which stages the day's activities on the Capitol grounds, including the traditional inaugural luncheon for the president and vice president. The menu at the luncheon four years ago featured seafood stew, duck, sour cherry chutney and apple cinnamon spongecake.
Not everything costs money, though.
Tickets are free for the swearing-in ceremony. People interested in attending should contact their senator or congressman to request a ticket. Viewing from the National Mall does not require tickets.
Hotel rooms, however, will cost folks, and some packages require a big fat wallet.
For $100,000, the Ritz-Carlton has an "Access Washington" package that includes two first-class round trip domestic airline tickets, a four-night stay in a luxury suite, private and behind-the-scenes tours of Washington landmarks, an inaugural parade watching party at the Newseum, a designer dress and fancy tuxedo, a diamond and ruby pin and more.

Greg Sherwin and Emily Avila | September 14, 2001 | Comments
Thisweek, Greg and Emily look at what it takes to encourage and motivate organizational change to realize the promise (not the hype) of online business.
If your company has talked the talk of e-business, now it's time to walk the walk. Last time, we discussed the need to take a serious look at your organizational structure. In this second of two parts, we look at what it takes to encourage and motivate organizational change to realize the promise (not the hype) of online business.
Obtain Feedback During the Implementation Process
People will feel more compelled to participate in the change if they don't feel that it's a mandate or an edict from the company. If they feel, for example, that they were involved in the process of implementation, then you can accomplish two things: jump-start the education process, and build a sense of teamwork and excitement for the initiative.
Most content management systems are based on the use of templates so content contributors can simply complete a browser-based form and send it to an editor for review. Ask your contributors to participate in the design of the templates. Ask them if the "form" covers all the information they'd want to share with the target audience. This gives them a sense that their opinions matter, and it helps them foresee the kind of information they'll have to gather to post to the site.
Integrate Current Processes
Rather than forcing people to change their current business processes, see how the online tools can enhance their work. For example, if there's a certain chain of review and approval for information that is released on paper, then make sure that your content management permissions and workflow reflect that process.
It's enough that your contributors need to embrace a new system; don't overburden them with an entirely new process for doing their jobs. When you integrate current processes with the new system, they'll immediately start to see how it can make their lives easier, not more difficult.
Ensure Senior Management Support
If people don't feel that senior executives are excited and supportive of the online initiative, they aren't going to feel motivated, either. Employees need to know that this is a priority and their performance reviews will be based on their participation. If staff members understand the strategic importance of the project, they'll feel they're making a difference.
Reduce Dependencies on Consultants
Often you'll need outside consultants to get you going. You may have organizational development experts create a customized plan for your organization. You may have business consultants develop the business logic and rules for the software based on your business needs. You may have technical consultants do the development and implementation of the software. Using consultants helps move things along faster and can give you objective views of the process.
But, at some point, internal staff will need to take over. If employees see the initiative as an externally driven process (rather than a grassroots project), they may be more suspicious. Although consultants can support and assist you, internal staff needs to take center stage (and the credit!) for the implementation.
It may be tempting to want a turnkey operation and to turn everything over to the consultants. But that will work only for the short term. Insist on knowledge transfer and internal participation. This gives everyone a sense of ownership and accountability -- reducing the tendency to blame the consultants if things don't work.
Make Education Your Cornerstone
People are more likely to embrace a new responsibility if they are comfortable with it. That is, if they feel the company is supporting them by giving them enough training, then they're more apt to accept the change to their jobs. If they also see this as a professional growth opportunity, they can get excited about their own personal career opportunities.
Don't expect people to just grasp a new technology or a new way of doing things. Plan for and schedule formal training. Don't forget to include education about "the big picture." That is, tell them how their contribution fits into the larger scheme of things and how it all works together to achieve strategic goals for the organization.
Use a Carrot and a Stick
Some people simply don't want to change. They like things just as they are, thank you. For those who are difficult to motivate, you may need a more direct and forceful approach. Some organizations have changed job descriptions and work performance evaluations to include contributions to the Web site. If employees don't contribute to the Web site based on certain standards, they can kiss their raises goodbye.
For those who do willingly participate and make a genuine effort to contribute, be sure to recognize them formally. Set up incentive programs, and give people prizes for a job well done. Extra vacation days, gift certificates, and other prizes can make the process fun.
Initiating organizational change is difficult and takes a long time. But with these basics in mind, you can successfully manage process changes and maintain employee morale at the same time.

As the King of Saudi Arabia met in the U.S. with President Barack Obama on June 29th, the National U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC) released its first newsletter dedicated to entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia. The news suggests that the country is gradually gaining a supportive entrepreneurship ecosystem.
"In Saudi Arabia today, and throughout the Middle East and North Africa
(MENA) region, there is a new breed of entrepreneurs that is gradually
reshaping the economic landscape," observed David Hamod, President & CEO of the
National U.S.-Arab Chamber. "Saudi Arabia is moving away from being the gas station to the world," said H.E. Abdullah Zainal Alireza, the Kingdom's Minister of Commerce and Industry.
Saudi Arabia has been working hard in the past decade to create an environment that encourages risk-taking, creativity and value-creation. As I reported here on PDE last April, entrepreneurship enjoys high-level support there. For example, Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, the advisor to the King of Saudi Arabia, chairs the Saudi Arabian National Entrepreneurship Center (NEC), an institution created to empower young entrepreneurs through specialized education, training, mentoring, and finance. Saudi Arabia is also home to the one of the most influential Middle Eastern educational institutions, the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). In an interview published in the newsletter, Professor Choon Fong Shih, President of KAUST described the institution as a start-up university. "We can offer them a long runway from which their research projects can take off," he explained.
Many other actors from all sectors are contributing to building a start-up culture in the country, such the Prince Salman Young Entrepreneur Awards, the National Entrepreneurship Center, and the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA), which established the Saudi Fast Growth 100, a list of the Kingdom's fastest growing enterprises by revenue.
The NUSAAC newsletter release represents an encouraging effort post President Obama's Summit on Entrepreneurship, which focused on entrepreneurship in Muslim communities around the world.

Kathryn, 17, found life in THE 1900 HOUSE a far cry from her years at boarding school, but was attracted to the opportunity to live more closely with her family. This closeness included sharing a bedroom with her twin sisters, Hilary and Ruth, 11, which proved to have limited charms. Kathryn's interests in theater and dance were put largely on hold during her stay in 1900, although she did work up a song-and-dance routine with her mother that they auditioned for London's only remaining 19th-century music hall. She had to take a cold-turkey break from her passion for club-hopping and admits to one clandestine phone call to a girlfriend to check out plot developments on her favorite soap opera, EASTENDERS. She's now returned to Richard Huish College to continue her studies in Politics, English, and Performing Arts.
Kathryn often longed for typical social activities of life today.
Kathryn struggled to keep her feet properly Victorian.
Upon returning to modern life, Kathryn was excited to become her "old self."

First place goes to Benary's Begonia boliviensis 'Santa Cruz Sunset'
This year's American Garden Award winners have been announced.

Once these new varieties are planted and put on display at the participating gardens, the public is invited to vote on their favorite.
Begonia boliviensis 'Santa Cruz Sunset' by Ernst Benary of America is the grand prize winner. It offers an abundance of scarlet/orange blooms, and is ideal for hanging baskets, urns or mass plantings in the garden. It is heat-, drought- and rain-tolerant, and thrives in full sun to shade.

Recent St. Thomas Reviews
AMAZING! Just book this place, right now. Stop searching.
I stayed here during my wedding and can't say enough. Greg and Mark were pleasant and easy to deal with and the house and views were just incredible. Photos just don't do this gem justice. The ONE thing I was worried about was the size of the pool. In the photos it looks very small. DON'T worry, it is a lot larger than it looks in photos. We easily fit everyone in the pool and hot tub. I will attach a photo so you can get an idea with people in it. Honestly, don't look at any more rentals. This on is amazing, outstanding, out of this world. You will not be disappointed. I really appreciate Greg keeping the price reasonable too. My family could not afford the outrageous prices of St. John and I was so worried I wouldn't find a place where the family could all stay together. It's worth every penny and thanks again Greg and Mark, our wedding was amazing and our family was SO SO impressed with your splendid accommodation. -Sarah West
It does not get any better than this!
I stayed with a group of friends at the Sand Dollar Estate March 7 to 14, 2015. Let me start by saying - it does not get any better than this place. There is absolutely no other place I would rather stay. The beach which the house sites above is perfection - private and beautiful. Definitely the nicest beach in the area, and it is all yours! From start to finish this trip was unreal. When I first contacted Suzanne, she was always quick and very helpful. She is THE most accommodating/best host by far! She knows where to go, what to do, what not to do & all things in between, and her onsite manager, Bob, is extraordinarily accommodating and responsive. He even went to town for my husband and brought a gorgeous bouquet for my birthday. From the time we arrived until we left, everything was perfect. The Villa was gorgeous - just like the picture. Every room is super nice and private, plenty of private bathrooms, and the fridge was stocked as planned. The location, staff, amenities, and food was great and the sun was shining. Rent a boat and go fishing and to Jost Van Dyke or Virgin Gorda. Take the Ferry to St. John. Our favorite restaurant was the Old Stone Farmhouse, so romantic, great food and ambiance. The shopping is great too, but you really never want to leave Sand Dollar. It is a wonderful place to call home and provides every amenity that anyone could need to make for a great vacation. I will absolutely be back Sand Dollar, as soon as I can!

2013 BEST Restaurant, General Excellence, Nantucket
American Seasons
Yes, the much-crowed-about charcuterie board—loaded with no fewer than 15 pâtes, sausages, rillettes, and accompaniments—is really that good. But do save room for the other standout dishes on the often-southern-leaning menu, like the dayboat scallops with fried green tomatoes and smoky crayfish butter, or the suckling-pig confit with mustard greens and pickled kumquats. It's all served with a genuine smile and spot-on wine suggestions, either in the cozy dining room or on the enchanting, leafy patio.

Love Story
Buccaneer Books, 1970 - Fiction - 125 pages
This is the wonderful, tumultuous, heartfelt story of Oliver Barrett IV and Jenny Cavilleri--the story of a rich Harvard jock and a wisecracking Radcliffe music major who have nothing in common but love . . . and everything else to share but time. Funny and flip, sad and poignant, Erich Segal's magnificent novel will grab you, hold you, and stay with you forever. You, like more than twenty million others, will fall in love with "Love Story."
"Not just a story-- "Love Story" is an experience. The reader who responds to this little book will feel less like a reader than an unwritten Segal character, living it all out from the inside... In this 'love story' you are not just an observer."-- "Christian Science Monitor."
"Funny, touching and infused with wonder, as all love stories should be."-- "San Francisco Examiner"

The Offspring at Mesa Amphitheatre
Monday, September 1, 2014 | 9 months ago
The Offspring hosted the 2014 Punk Rock Summer Nationals Tour at Mesa Amphitheatre on Friday with Pennywise, Bad Religion, and Stiff Little Fingers. The sold out show brought a crowd that was amped and ready to rock.
All the way from Belfast, Ireland, Stiff Little Fingers warmed up the crowd, and were ready to make way for a night of moshing and good times. Pennywise followed, with an electrifying performance which only fueled the crowd even more. Making a guest appearance during their set, our very own Jason DeVore of Authority Zero came out to cover "Minor Threat".
Hungry for more, Bad Religion took the stage and thirty-five years later, they're still rocking out. They took us into back into the 20th Century and played hits from all over their catalog. When the crowd heard that distinct drumbeat and delayed vocals of "Sorrow", they went crazy, throwing their hands in the air and singing along.
By the time Bad Religion exited the stage, everyone had packed in as close to the barricade as possible in anticipation of The Offspring's arrival. Inside the Amphitheatre, the sweltering Arizona heat could not be kept at bay, and there was a surprising, calm silence. Finally, singer Dexter Holland, with everyone in tow, could be seen taking their platforms through the blue and white stage lights. Opening with "Nitro (Youth Energy)", the audience went wild. Moshing ensued, and the night continued on. Continuing with hits like, "Gotta Get Away", "Why Don't You Get A Job?, "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)"; They finally finished out their set and ended evening with "The Kids Aren't Alright", making for a night to remember.

Australian lawmakers uphold ban on gay marriage
Wednesday - 9/19/2012, 1:13am EDT
By KRISTEN GELINEAU
Associated Press
SYDNEY (AP) - Australian lawmakers overwhelmingly rejected a bill Wednesday that would have legalized gay marriage, and similar legislation looked unlikely to pass despite public support for same-sex marriage.
The House of Representatives voted 98-42 against the legislation, the first of four bills introduced to Parliament that aim to lift the country's ban on same-sex marriage. A separate bill was also being debated in the Senate on Wednesday.
Polls show that most Australians support gay marriage, but the Liberal Party-led conservative opposition coalition and many in the ruling center-left Labor Party are against it.
"I think at some future time our Parliament will catch up with community opinion, just as it has on other issues," senior government minister Anthony Albanese told reporters after the vote. "When marriage equality occurs, people will wonder what the fuss was about."
Australian law defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Labor lifted its long-standing opposition to gay marriage last year, but Prime Minister Julia Gillard remains opposed to it.
Gillard allowed Labor members to make a rare "conscience vote" on the bill Wednesday, which lets lawmakers vote by their personal beliefs without risking expulsion if they defy the party line. Opposition leader Tony Abbott did not give Liberal members that option.
Gillard's government holds a razor-thin majority in Parliament and several Labor members personally oppose gay marriage. The chance of any pro-gay marriage bill passing is, therefore, remote.
Finance Minister Penny Wong, who is gay, acknowledged in recent days that the legislation was unlikely to pass, but still argued passionately for its approval during the debate.
"If you subscribe to the principal of equality, as I'm sure most in the chamber would, then substitute `same sex' for `race' in this debate and see if it changes your view," Wong, who has a Chinese-Malaysian father and Australian mother of European descent, told lawmakers. "Just imagine if we told Australians today that they could not marry the person they love because of the color of their skin."
The debate prompted one Liberal senator to step down as Abbott's parliamentary secretary after the senator made comments suggesting that permitting gay marriage could lead to calls for the legalization of bestiality and polygamy.
Abbott called Bernardi's comments "ill-disciplined."
"They're views that I don't share," Abbott told reporters after Bernardi's resignation. "They're views that I think many people will find repugnant."
Gillard canceled a scheduled address to a Christian lobby group this month over what she called "heartless" comments made by the group's managing director that suggested being gay was a bigger health hazard than smoking.
The Senate is expected to vote on its bill later this week.

Re: Liveaboard Sail upkeep
Dirt and mold can be problems, but to two factors that present the greatest risks to your sails are chafe and UV damage. For chafe prevention make sure that your sails on the boom are tied with straps around the sails only and not with straps around the sail and boom. A tuck of sail that is tied between the wrap line and the boom can chafe away with the constant rock at the dock. The lines holding the sail cover would normally be around the boom, but once again, there should not be a fold of sail left between these straps and the boom. For the UV protection just be sure that the whole sail is covered, particularly without the clew sticking out aft.

Cuban Black Bean Soup with Sherried Onions - Appetizers
Print version
Cuban Black Bean Soup with Sherried Onions
Black bean soup has crawled out of the barrio onto the menus of some of America's most upscale eateries. The sherried red onions give this hearty soup a unique flare.
1/2 pound smoky slab bacon
2 garlic cloves, smashed
3/4 pound dried black beans
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 small green chilies, seeds and stems removed and the chilies minced
2 quarts water
salt and pepper to taste
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced and separated into rings
1/2 cup sherry vinegar
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1. Put bacon, garlic, beans, cumin, chilies, and water in soup pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for about 2 hours, skimming foam if necessary. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. While soup is simmering, set the red onion in a bowl to marinate with the sherry vinegar. When soup is ready, ladle into 8 bowls and top each serving with some marinated onion and a spoonful of the diced tomatoes.
Lucky residents of Miami, Florida and Union City, New Jersey -- the home cities of the two largest Cuban communities in the United States -- know that even the humblest Cuban lunch counter harbors a gold mine of bold, vivid flavors just waiting to be tapped by adventurous diners. Black bean soup, of course, has crawled out of the barrio onto the menus of some of America's most upscale eateries. Our version of this delicious Cuban mainstay is humble at heart, but it does feature an upscale twist: paper-thin slices of red onion marinated in sherry vinegar. Note that no stock is used in making this soup, but the whole piece of bacon gives it a deep, meaty flavor. Serves 8

Great cover up This cover up is casual, comfortable and very cute on. After getting my first one in I went online and ordered two more colors. I find a lot of express clothing runs large but this cover up is true to size. January 14, 2015
Cute cover up/cardigan This item is cute. It runs a little large, not much though. I love most of the Express cardigans and this one is as good as the rest. January 2, 2015
Love it! Perfect to wear for work or for a night out. December 16, 2014
good versatile cardigan I purchased this cardigan because I didn't have any black cardigans that were long-sleeved. It's very soft and just the right length on my short torso. When I received my online order, there was a loose thread so it created a hole in one of the sleeves. However, I was able to exchange for a new one in store. December 10, 2014
Love this sweater. Perfect for a casual night out right after work December 6, 2014

A Population-Based Study of the Prevalence of Diabetes and Impaired Glucose Tolerance in Adults in Northern Sudan

OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence of glucose intolerance in adult urban and rural populations in the northern parts of Sudan.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A sample of 1,284 subjects aged ≥25 years was selected using a multistage cluster method and underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test.
RESULTS The crude prevalence was 3.4% (men, 3.5%; women, 3.4%) for diabetes and 2.9% (men, 2.2%; women, 3.3%) for impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The highest crude prevalence was in the northern parts of Sudan (5.5%) and the lowest in the western desert-like parts (0.9%). Diabetes and IGT rates were not different between the urban and rural populations. New cases (2.2%) were almost twice as prevalent as previously known cases (1.3%). Family history of diabetes, obesity, and advanced age were associated with higher rates of diabetes.
CONCLUSION The results showed a high prevalence of diabetes in the adult population of Sudan, with a wide difference among the different areas. The high ratio of newly discovered to previously known diabetic cases may reflect poor public awareness and medical services. These findings will certainly have far-reaching implications for diabetes care delivery in this country.

Maggy Baccinelli
Asher's many decades of public service, including almost 20 years as an elected official on the Atlanta City Council, was cut short by her untimely death in 1995 and is recognized with a life-size statue in downtown Atlanta. This summer, Asher's family created an endowed scholarship in her memory at Tulane University, so that her legacy may also live on in New Orleans for generations to come.
While at Newcomb, Asher served as student union president and was an active member of the Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority.
After graduating, she lived in New York City, and eventually embraced Atlanta as her permanent home. There, she volunteered as the president of National Council of Jewish Women and vice-president of United Way Southern District. During her tenure on the Atlanta City Council from 1977 until 1995, she was dedicated to serving the community and spearheaded projects like the Atlanta Community Investment Project, the Atlanta Loft Housing Task Force and the Community Reinvestment Act, which allowed city banks to finance housing for people with low to moderate incomes.
Asher's daughter, Helen DuBow, a 1988 Newcomb College graduate, believes that Asher's experience growing up as one of the only Jewish people in her small town inspired her bravery at an early age and her time at Newcomb helped shape who she became.
"It was an empowering place for women, and it prepared her for a life of service above self," says DuBow.

Favorite thing: You will notice in the picture that the treeline goes to the top of the montain over 10000 ft high.
This is quite different from France Switzerland or Canada where the treeline is at 6000 ft elevation ( plus or minus).
Having the treeline all the way to the top helps greatly when it snows or the clouds roll in. When you enveloped in white out you know you do not have to go far to reach the trees and the edge of the trail.
You always have a frame of reference.
- Family Travel
Favorite thing: The top of Mt. Werner is at 10568 ft ( 322 m.) and the base is at 6900 ft ( 2100 m). The altitude plus the fact that this is a very dry climate means that you can become dehydrated very quickly . Drink lots of water , not wine , beer or coffee.
Fondest memory: We got lucky with weather and snow..
- Family Travel
Favorite thing: On the US March Schol Break a big percentage of the visitors to Steamboat are familys . The mountain is excellent for beginner skiers .
The picture show the area around the Gondola Base where most of the ski schools do their work .
- Family Travel
cat-napping in the wilderness
Favorite thing: I've spent many, many a day exploring the wilderness of Steamboat and the surrounding area. Quite frankly, the wilderness is what I adore about Steamboat. I could spend hours exploring, hiking, camping, climbing, and always find some place new to me. My most favorite memories involve lounging around mountain streams and cat-napping under the warm sun.

Ticket prices
Favorite thing: Unfortunately Steamboat is one of the more expensive ski resorts. Obviously because of its quality... Well, for the 2003/2004 winter season costs for a day ticket range from 64 to 69 dollars depending on the different seasons. But you should look for special deals in local papers or brochures. Sometimes they offer special priced tickets via the Internet, too.

- Skiing and Boarding
- Road Trip
Mountain Facts
Favorite thing: Instead of being a single mountain, Steamboat is almost a mountain range. The ski area consists of Storm Peak (my favorite), Mount Werner (the biggest), Sunshine Peak, Thunderhead Peak, Pioneer Ridge and Christie Peak. That means 2,939 acres (1176 hectares) skiable terrain. The base elevation is 6,900 feet (2103 meters). The summit elevation is 10,568 feet (3224 meters). Steamboat has 142 named trails plus several backcountry tree runs. The longest run is over three miles (4.8 kilometers) long.
- Skiing and Boarding
- Road Trip
- Backpacking
Perfect backcountry snowboarding
Favorite thing: Are you looking for real deep and dry powder? How about some tree runs? Perfect backcountry? Then take the Storm Peak Express lift at Steamboat. From the mountain top you can easily access the backcountry. I bet you will find terrain with no tracks. I was there on a powder day with several feet of new snow. Gorgeous! One of the best snowboarding days I ever had.

Suck in that clean, mountain...
Favorite thing: Suck in that clean, mountain air...
Fondest memory: Perhaps not a fond memory, but a memorable story all the same. I arrived into Steamboat a full day after all of my friends, so, they had checked into the condo, gotten all the lift tickets for the group, beers for the fridge AND had a full day on the mountain before I got there... Naturally, the morning after I arrived, I woke up early and got ready for my first day of snowboarding while they (Dave, GG & Action Jimmy) woke up extra slow complaining of pains and cramps resulting from their first day on the mountain.
Action Jimmy was the only other snowboarder in the bunch, so, I rushed that tired slug out the door with me as fast as possible, not waiting for those snotty skiers, Dave & GG. We took full advantage of our Ski-in/Ski-out facility and within minutes (and a few falls) were at the base of the mountain ready to get on the lifts. That's when I realized GG (who my parents tell me is also my brother) hadn't given me my lift ticket that he "picked up for me" on his first day into Steamboat. S-O-L, I have to pop-off my board, find the Shuttle bus back to our condo and then go searching through GG's stuff to find my lift ticket…Action Jimmy gets to ride more – not fair... Anyway, upon arriving back at the condo, I run in as quickly as possible and the first thing I see when entering the condo is my lift ticket on the kitchen counter top with a little note beside it. On the note, in my brother's chicken-scratch handwriting were two words: "Dumb Ass." By the way, I have several other nicknames for my brother besides "GG."

Favorite thing: Go skiing!
On my last downhill run I thought to be helpful to a person who lost one of his skis, but shortly before I was very close to him to give him his ski I fell myself, threw away his ski and on my back head first I slipped down the steep and long hill. I never made it that fast before! Down the hill it stopped and all I still had was ONE pole. A few minutes later, a friendly couple brought my skis and the other pole. As this was our very fist day skiing in Colorado I was very happy that nothing happened to me!

Favorite thing: Ski the 'Chutes' and the 'Gates' (Gate A, B, C, and D.....some of the best terrain on the mountain.) Steamboat is a great vacation spot in Colorado for those who are looking to get away from the glitz, frills, and tourist feel of Vail and Aspen. Steamboat is a true 'western-style' town that carries with it a nice down to earth atmosphere.
Fondest memory: Soaking in the natural hot springs after a long day of powder skiing.
Favorite thing: OK . The trees help with visibility but there is still a problem.
This is actually good visibility.
And the snow is perfect .

Lunch on the Hill at the Four Points Hut!
Favorite thing: If I close my eyes I can still picture myself sitting on the Four Points sundeck, with the aroma of freshly grilled burgers and brats wafting through the air.
The view is beautiful!

Creating a Live USB stick with Kiwi
The Kiwi image system lets you create bootable images for a variety of purposes. We'll show you how to use Kiwi to create a Live USB stick.
The Kiwi image system is SUSE's favorite entry in the recent pageant of Live Linux tools. Although Kiwi is very capable of creating an ordinary Live CD or DVD, you can also use Kiwi to generate other types of bootable images, such as Xen-based virtual images, USB stick images, and even PXE-based network boot images for thin clients. I decided to put Kiwi to work creating a bootable Linux USB stick.

I'd like to take my dog, Sherlock, to the dog park because he's alone during the day when I'm working. I walk him almost every day but he has a lot of energy (he's a mixed breed with some terrier in him) and I don't think that's enough. Maybe playing with other dogs would be good for him. We've walked outside the dog park at Burns Park [North Little Rock] and haven't gone inside yet but Sherlock looks pretty interested. How can I make sure he has a good time?
